Head of Teaching at Hogwarts

The basilisk finally fell completely.

Ron jumped down from the Slytherin statue and limped to Harry and Hermione. His body was covered with various scrapes and contusions, but he smiled from ear to ear: "We won again. Once, it was a perfect cooperation!”

Harry couldn't help laughing, and then gritted his teeth in pain. He was injured more seriously than Ron. Although he was saved once by Fox's tears, the basilisk's final counterattack still caused several wounds to appear on his body. Daokouzi.

Hermione, on the other hand, had basically no loss except for some excessive consumption of magic power and minor trauma. After all, she was fighting from a distance most of the time.

The trio laughed happily and hugged each other tightly, and then fell down weakly. They were too exhausted, and the basilisk was also poisonous. Although they were not directly attacked by the basilisk's fangs, But they inhaled a lot of the poison gas that was emitted during the battle, and it was enough to make them uncomfortable.

Hermione shouted towards Russell's position: "Professor..."

Russell and Dumbledore looked at each other. Russell lifted the disillusionment spell and landed from the air, while Dumbledore remained hidden in the air.

Russell snapped his fingers and put away the Sorting Hat and the Sword of Gryffindor. At the same time, three bottles of magic cola appeared out of thin air, and the trio drank up the magic cola.

Russell's Magic Coke contained joy ingredients. After drinking it, the three of them felt refreshed and felt much better.

Then Fawkes, the phoenix in mid-air, let out a clear chirp and landed next to Harry, Ron and Hermione respectively. They each shed a few tears, and the wounds on the trio's appearance healed quickly.

"Professor Russell..." Harry looked at Russell who spoke first, and then suddenly remembered that he was violating school rules and hesitated to speak.

He could only stare awkwardly and curiously at the little bird that returned to Russell's shoulder in silence.

It was Russell who broke the silence and introduced: "This is Fox. It is a phoenix. The tears of the phoenix can detoxify and is the wizard's most loyal partner."

The trio all looked at Fox in disbelief, as if they couldn't believe that the little bird in front of them, no bigger than an owl, could be the legendary phoenix. It looked completely different from what they imagined.

Hermione looked at Fox with confusion. After studying with Russell for so long, she didn't remember that Russell had such a magical pet.

"The phoenix is ​​a very beautiful creature, usually with very beautiful golden-red feathers, but Fox has just experienced a rebirth from the ashes. It's a pity that you can't see its beautiful appearance." Russell explained for Fox. , which satisfied the smart Fox, who stood on Russell's shoulders and kissed his cheek affectionately.

Afterwards, Russell led the trio out of the secret room. Of course, before leaving, Russell did not forget to tell Illidan to stay and collect the corpse of the basilisk.

The basilisk is a magical animal that is full of treasures. Its teeth, venom, eyes, and snake skin are perfect alchemical materials. If you give the body of the basilisk to the goblins who are good at alchemy at the Russell factory, there might be a chance. Create an alchemical item that is not inferior to the Great Sword of Gryffindor.

However, what Russell planned to build was not a big sword. He planned to let the goblins in the factory use the corpse of the basilisk as a basis to create a magical puppet similar to the guardian stone statue of Hogwarts.

Russell's Wizard Canyon still lacks a final boss-level wild monster - Baron Nash. He originally planned to capture the Basilisk alive to serve as Baron Nash, but after witnessing the ferocious performance of the Basilisk, he gave up this idea and chose Use a puppet instead.

When Russell led the trio out, Professor McGonagall was already leading the other three deans near the entrance of the secret room, preparing to enter.

Obviously, they all recognized Fox on Russell's shoulder, and followed Russell directly to the principal's office without asking any questions.

The trio of Harry, Ron and Hermione told the story in full, not even hiding the fact that Harry was a Parseltongue.

"Sorry, I hid the secret that I was a Parselmouth, otherwise the principal might have found the Chamber of Secrets." Harry said with some shame.

"Everyone has his own secrets, it's human nature." Russell comforted Harry and gave Snape a meaningful look.

Hermione then talked about their suspicions about Russell and the first time they saw Russell and Malfoy forcing Dumbledore to leave school in Hagrid's cabin.

This made the four deans look at Russell with suspicion unconsciously. This was the first time they knew how Russell personally took action to drive Dumbledore out of Hogwarts.

However, when they saw Fox's affectionate attitude towards Russell on his shoulder, they all felt relieved again.

Hermione apologized sincerely, "I'm sorry, Professor Russell, because of Malfoy's father, we have undue suspicion of you."

Russell waved his hand nonchalantly, "Don't be superstitious about authority. Some people are powerful and famous, but it is entirely possible that they are fools, such as one of our previous professors of Defense Against Dark Arts."

A burst of cheerful laughter erupted in the principal's office. Russell was the first person who dared to clarify Lockhart's problem. This made the four deans and the trio in the office feel comfortable. .

Later, Ron recounted how they fought against the basilisk, especially the exquisite cooperation between the three of them in the end, which was described in vivid detail.

While Professor McGonagall was frightened, she felt secretly happy at the same time, "If you dare to act recklessly again, I will definitely deduct your points..." Professor McGonagall criticized with a smile.

At the end of the story, Professor Flitwick was obviously very engaged after listening to it. He clapped his hands and praised: "It's a wonderful adventure. It's enough to publish a book. I suggest that this adventure can be adapted into a special teaching activity. Join us in the Wizard's Canyon, and of course, as a professor, I think we can experience it first."

In the end, the trio left with satisfaction. Russell gave each of them 100 points for their performance, and deducted 100 points for each of their various violations of school rules, which was equivalent to no bonus points. Not reduced.

But they were still very satisfied with the result. After all, in their opinion, this was equivalent to a serious violation of school rules without being punished.

Ron, in particular, even asked Russell if he could give him a formal penalty notice, even if it meant deducting 500 points, but they must clearly state how they got the points deducted for killing the basilisk.

It made Professor McGonagall feel angry and funny.
