The Mightiest Badger at Hogwarts

"Pfft!~"

With a slight muffled sound, Link and Snape finally escaped from the pipe and landed on a wet ground.

But just like inside the pipe, it was still pitch black.

Link took out his wand and prepared to use Lumos.

However, before he could recite the incantation, Snape thrust a potion directly into his hand.

"Drinked."

Listening to Snape's cold voice, Link unscrewed the lid without much hesitation and poured the potion inside into his mouth.

The potion felt a little bitter when it entered the throat, but the effect was quickly apparent.

Link felt a coolness in his eyes, and then the world in front of him quickly lit up.

It was only then that Link finally saw clearly the environment they were in at the moment.

This is a huge wet cave, with countless stalactites hanging down from the top of the cave. From time to time, water drops will fall down and sink into the moist soil below.

On the ground, there are just terrifying traces created by the crawling snake monsters, with many white bones mixed in between. Judging from the appearance, they seem to be the bones of rodents and fish, and there are no bones of humanoid creatures. , which made Link feel a little relieved.

"It looks like we've come to the right place. This should be the basilisk's lair."

Snape's voice was hollow and deep, and it was very strange that there was no echo in this empty space.

Link frowned when he heard this, pulled Snape's robe and said:

"Don't kill Arkham."

Snape turned his head and glanced at Link impatiently, then forcefully pulled back his robe and said:

"understood."

After saying that, the two continued to move forward. However, before they had gone far, Snape pulled Link behind him and swung out the wand in his hand!

"Om!~"

Link only heard a heartbreaking sound. When he struggled to get out from behind Snape, he saw a terrifying slash mark suddenly appeared on the wall in the distance, and the slash mark was slightly in front of him. Lying in the position is a behemoth that looks like Arkham.

This discovery shocked Link, but when he came back to his senses and took a closer look, he realized that it was just a giant snake slough.

And the snake slough at this moment has been cut in half by Snape's curse just now!

"It's a snake slough. What a pity."

Snape took back his wand with some regret.

Seeing this, Link became angry, pointed at the snake slough that had been cut in half and said:

"Didn't you say you wouldn't kill Arkham? What happened just now?"

Snape curled his lips, not wanting to speak, but looking at Link's angry eyes, he finally waved his sleeves and said:

"Accident!"

After saying this, Snape walked around the snake slough and continued walking forward.

And Link also followed behind.

But now he is more cautious. Snape's attitude towards the basilisk Arkham may be even worse than Dumbledore's. He must be careful next.

The two continued to walk forward for a while until they finally came to a wall after turning a corner.

There are two venomous snakes entwined with each other carved on the wall, and their eyes are inlaid with several huge emeralds.

Link walked forward without much hesitation.

"Hiss, hiss~ (open)"

"Boom!~"

With a huge sound of rock friction, the stone wall cracked from between the two venomous snakes.

What appeared in front of Link and Snape at this moment was a wide square.

The entire square is filled with a strange green mist, and there are many huge stone pillars engraved with coiled snakes erected in it, supporting the entire underground square.

This should be the legendary Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets.

At the same time, in the original Chamber of Secrets plot, this is also the venue for the decisive battle between Harry Potter and the Basilisk.

Here, the basilisk Arkham and the so-called heir will appear at any time!

Thinking this, Link lowered his head silently and let his eyes fall on the floor at his feet.

This is an important means of defense against the death gaze of the basilisk Arkham. As for the problem of perception, Link can completely rely on the super-sensory spell and the remaining residual vision.

Snape on the side also acted in a similar manner, obviously also aware of the danger of the basilisk.

"Follow me obediently and don't stay too far away."

"I know!"

Link said seriously.

He is not a child in the real sense like Harry Potter. He will not act like a child, and he also understands the seriousness of the current situation.

When Snape heard this, he didn't say anything more. He nodded and led Link into the green mist.

Although this green mist looked very intimidating, Link discovered after actually touching it that it was actually the water mist coming out of the pools on both sides. It was just the discoloration caused by the reflection of the emeralds paved at the bottom of the pool.

However, neither Link nor Snape relaxed their vigilance. At this time, they both knew the danger of this trip.

But what surprised Link was that there were no enemies around until the two of them came to a wall with a giant statue of a human face at the end of the square.

"Salazar Slytherin..." Snape murmured, looking at the statue of a human face on the wall, "It seems you are not leading the wrong way."

After saying this, Snape moved out of the way and winked at Link.

The meaning is obviously to let Link open the door.

But... Link didn't move this time.

In the original book, the remnant spirit of Voldemort indeed summoned the basilisk from the mouth of the human-faced statue by reciting a long spell.

But unfortunately... Link forgot the content of that spell.

This is something that seems ridiculous at first glance, but is actually quite normal.

After all, although Link likes the Harry Potter series, he is far from crazy about it.

And Link is not the kind of guy like John who reads all the lines in a book.

But looking at Snape's obviously impatient expression, Link finally walked towards the statue of the human face.

He still decided to give it a try, because he still vaguely remembered that the spell uttered by Voldemort's remnant soul in the original book was actually nonsense, as if he had made it up at random.

If that's the case, then Link, who is also a snake-talker, might be able to open the wall.

Thinking this, Link took a deep breath, raised his head and looked at the statue of Salazar Slytherin's face on the wall.

This statue should depict Salazar Slytherin in middle age. To be honest, Link thinks this is still very handsome. Although it is still a little worse than himself, it is indeed a perfect match. Those portraits of Salazar Slytherin in Slytherin House.

Link really didn't understand why the statue of Salazar Slytherin was made so ugly in the movie. It looked like a deformed old man, crudely made.

Shaking his head with some emotion, Link opened his mouth to say the 'open' command as before.

However, before Link could say anything, his brows furrowed.

Because he suddenly discovered that the originally closed eyes on the statue of Salazar Slytherin seemed to be slightly opened.
