Hogwarts Crawler

Chew, chew, chew, chew...swallow——

After finishing the last apple cinnamon pie, Professor Dumbledore listened to Adam's story and saw the diary with only four pages left.

Looking at the pitiful diary, Professor Dumbledore suddenly sighed.

Tom, have you ever thought that the Horcrux you created at the cost of killing a life would be so fragile one day?

"What's wrong, Professor Dumbledore?"

"Nothing, I just thought of something..."

Professor Dumbledore shook his head and began to answer the questions Adam asked him:

"This diary should be a Horcrux, an extremely evil black magic prop that can only be made by killing a person, so it can have such a strong magic resistance."

At this point, Professor Dumbledore couldn't help but move his eyebrows:

"In fact, most of the means in this world cannot cause harm to it..." Otherwise, Voldemort would not have cut his soul in order to make a Horcrux.

It's a pity that Voldemort's Horcrux met Adam.

While sighing, Professor Dumbledore suddenly remembered the basilisk. If he remembered correctly, the evil magic of the basilisk was enough to destroy the Horcrux.

"Is the body of the basilisk still in the Chamber of Secrets?"

"Oh, no, it's not dead yet."

"It's good that it's not dead... huh?!"

Professor Dumbledore widened his eyes and watched Adam take out a black round container from his bag. A closer look revealed that it was a glass jar wrapped in black cloth.

"I shrunk the basilisk and caught it. It's in here."

Adam said as he pulled open a slit in the gauze and took a look:

"It's sleeping now."

"..."

Professor Dumbledore opened his mouth and felt a little confused for a while.

"Professor, do you want to see it?"

"Uh, no."

Professor Dumbledore finally sorted out his thoughts:

"You... shrunk the basilisk?"

"Yes, the basilisk's strength has also decreased. Now even the glass jar can hold it tightly."

Professor Dumbledore wanted to say that the basilisk's skin has a magic resistance that is almost the same as that of a dragon, but thinking about the magic resistance of the Horcrux is much stronger than that of the basilisk and the dragon, he didn't say anything about this issue. He just looked at the black jar for a while and hesitated:

"Adam, I have to remind you that it is illegal to keep a basilisk..."

"Professor, I have checked the laws of wizards. It is illegal to breed a basilisk, but it is not illegal to keep a basilisk."

Adam blinked at Professor Dumbledore:

"So as long as I can prove that this basilisk was not bred by me, I will not violate the wizard's law. The laws of the teachers."

"...Okay, you're right."

Professor Dumbledore was silent for a moment after a recollection:

"But raising such a dangerous animal on campus--"

"Professor Dumbledore... This basilisk is already the safest in my hands. Should I let it go? Or should I kill it? Although it once killed a person, it was instructed by the mysterious man, wasn't it?"

Adam looked at Professor Dumbledore sincerely, trying to awaken Professor Dumbledore's love for teachers and students:

"Besides that, all it has done since it was born is to sleep in Hogwarts for nearly a thousand years-it is almost as old as Hogwarts and has witnessed the history of Hogwarts!"

Looking into Adam's eyes, although Legilimency found nothing, Professor Dumbledore could see the pure love for magical animals, which reminded him of an old friend.

If the other party was here, he would probably find a way to protect the basilisk...

And after all, Adam is just a student, a Hufflepuff, and the heir of Nicolas Flamel. He just saved the school. What bad intentions could he have?

Finally, Professor Dumbledore softened his heart:

"Okay... but you must promise that no student will be injured by the attack of this basilisk - even petrified."

"Of course I can promise, professor."

Adam smiled and put away the basilisk jar, then looked at Professor Dumbledore:

"By the way, professor, I read in the book that although you are not born with Parseltongue, you have learned the language of snakes through acquired learning... Is that right?"

Professor Dumbledore blinked and understood what Adam wanted to do. But it must be said that this is actually a good idea... At least being able to communicate with the basilisk will only allow Adam to take better care of the basilisk.

After a little thought, Professor Dumbledore stretched out his hand, and a book on the bookshelf floated into Professor Dumbledore's hand:

"This is about snake language and merman language.'s book... I hope you can remember to return it to me after you finish learning it."

"Of course~"

"Don't tell your classmates what you said in the principal's office today. If they must ask, just say that I asked you to keep it secret."

"No problem, professor, but..."

Adam recalled for a moment and said:

"Harry seemed to have heard a lot."

"...I will let Minerva tell him."

Professor Dumbledore sighed:

"Well, that's about it. Finally..."

After a pause, a smile appeared on Professor Dumbledore's face:

"You solved the basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets in time before anyone met with misfortune - 200 points for Hufflepuff! "

Adam was a little surprised, but he found that he didn't need to be so surprised. It would be strange if Professor Dumbledore didn't give him extra points. Although it seemed a bit stiff for Harry to give Gryffindor extra points at the end of each year, it must be said that the things he did were indeed worth extra points.

Otherwise, how could other professors sit and watch Professor Dumbledore's performance?

However, Professor Dumbledore's performance was not over yet:

"For solving the truth of the case that year - 50 points for Hufflepuff. On behalf of Myrtle and Hagrid who was framed that year, I thank you for your feat. It seems that a medal in the trophy display room should be cleared out. "

"This is what I should do, professor."

Professor Dumbledore smiled and nodded:

"Don't forget to keep these things confidential, and pay attention to your little pet. Go. "

After leaving the principal's office, Adam reviewed his gains today.

First, the existence of the Clow Cards and his knowledge of Horcruxes were made public, so that his spellcasting, which was not concealed in the first place, could be more open and aboveboard, and the Ravenclaw diadem obtained from the Room of Requirement could also be arranged.

Second, regarding the basilisk, he obtained a book on learning Parseltongue from Professor Dumbledore, and also received a bonus of Merman Language, which was an unexpected gain.

Finally, the magic of the Love Card was tested.

"Sure enough, this Love Card that has been in effect is very powerful. ”

This is also the effect of the love card that Adam discovered accidentally: the love card can subtly influence the people around.

For people who have a certain emotional foundation with themselves, the love card is probably equivalent to a halo that rationalizes things. The effect is proportional to the depth of emotion and the degree to which the other party is affected by emotional factors.

Even if it is such an outrageous thing to raise a basilisk in the school, Professor Dumbledore actually agreed. It seems that Professor Dumbledore is really emotional.

Originally, Adam thought that at most he would be shaken. He was ready to sacrifice this basilisk. Now it seems that another basilisk can be put into the pot. Make basilisk soup or dragon and phoenix fight...

After coming back to his senses from the food, Adam's attention returned to the love card. The effect of the love card he has discovered so far is more than just affecting the people around him.
