Hogwarts Dances with Dragons

"This is true, I can testify." Dumbledore looked at Ivan helplessly and joked: "Just now, Mr. Lockhart was giving Professor Flitwick instructions on duels..."

Ivan raised his eyebrows: "Just him? Instructing Professor Flitwick?"

Lockhart's mouth twitched in embarrassment, but he didn't dare to say anything.

He still clearly remembered the sea of ​​​​fire on the Hogwarts Express!

Dumbledore did not answer, but picked up Mrs. Norris and did a simple check: "Fortunately, Mrs. Norris is fine, there is not even a trace of magic left. Argus, you have to thank Darkna. Mr. Special."

"Of course! Of course!" Filch came to Ivan's side and smiled eagerly.

"Okay, it's getting late." Dumbledore emphasized, attracting everyone's attention: "The deans of each college immediately rushed to the college lounge and informed their college students that all students in the college would stay in the dormitory tonight. You are not allowed to walk around at will. In addition, Argus, please inform the Aurors stationed outside the school and ask them to come in."

"Evan, please come over after you send the two ladies back to the dormitory." Dumbledore added.

Ivan was a little reluctant: "I'm not an errand boy, just a snake. Didn't I agree that I would only help you deal with Voldemort..."

"The basilisk is indeed related to Voldemort. It is the legacy left by his ancestor Salazar Slytherin in the school." Dumbledore said seriously: "I need your immunity to black magic, which can greatly reduce our casualties."

Seeing this, Ai Wen could only agree.

"He doesn't need to be so serious..." After leaving with Hermione and Luna, Ivan curled his lips: "As long as you give me a day off, I'm actually happy to join in the fun."

"You have to be careful, Alvin." Luna said in an ethereal voice: "The basilisk is not something to be trifled with."

"From the three-headed dog to the basilisk, if you didn't say Hogwarts was a school, I would have thought it was some kind of zoo." Hermione shook her head. She was a little worried about Alvin, but not much.

Because someone tore a three-headed dog to pieces, Hermione's awe of these dangerous species had almost disappeared.

"But you still have to pay attention, Alvin." Hermione reminded: "Run quickly if you are in danger. Dumbledore will give you the backing. I really don't know what he thinks. You are obviously still a student..."

"An unusual student." Luna added, obviously very confident in Alvin: "If it weren't really that I couldn't help, I would really like to go with him to see him."

Although this girl was a Ravenclaw in the original book, she seemed to have become a little bit wild since she entered Gryffindor.

Hermione opened her mouth when she heard this. Of course she wanted to go with Alvin, but considering the strength gap between the two, she wisely closed her mouth.

If she really follows her, Ivan might have to be distracted by taking care of her.

This thought made Hermione a little annoyed. As a woman who has always wanted to be strong in her life, this thought greatly frustrated her self-confidence.

After sending the two back to Gryffindor Tower, Alvin went to Professor McGonagall's office on the second floor. At this time, the small office was already crowded with people - professors from the school and the proud people of the Ministry of Magic. Luo.

Seeing Ivan entering the room, the Aurors from the Ministry of Magic had different expressions. Some looked wary, while others looked away.

The leader of the Auror team was a disabled old man with scars on his face and a magic eye that rolled around. He looked very fierce.

"Ha, Mr. Darknight!" The old man came to Alvin with his prosthetic leg and stretched out his hand. His magic eyes looked at Alvin: "Alastor Moody, this is the first time we meet. Thank you for your support to these young people. The boys learned a lesson!"

"Evan Rothstein, your eyes are so cool." Ivan shook hands with him. Moody's palm was rough and thick, and he smelled the same kind of scent from the other person.

Crazy, bellicose, restless…

It's just that his strength is a bit weaker. The level of magic in his incomplete body is much lower than that of Snape, but the sense of threat he brings to Alvin is stronger than that of Snape. It seems that he is a veteran who has experienced many battles and has a sense of combat. Very strong.

"Thank you." Moody looked crazy: "I have to take it off later, but today this thing is my burden, the basilisk, God..."

"Okay, are everyone here?" Dumbledore asked: "We need to work as a small team to investigate every bathroom in the school. Judging from the current information, the entrance to the secret room is very It might be in a bathroom somewhere."

Alvin raised his hand: "I have a question."

Dumbledore turned his gaze to him: "Please speak."

Ivan gently spread his hands: "Why don't we just blow up the wall and search along the pipe? In terms of time, this should be the most efficient way, right?"

Dumbledore shook his head slightly: "The pipes in the castle extend in all directions, like a big net. We are not sure of the specific direction of the secret room. If we rashly explode the pipes, it is very likely that the basilisk will enter the castle."

"I would like to ask, how old is the basilisk?" Ivan asked: "If I don't blow up the wall, won't it be able to get out?"

"If it is a thousand-year-old basilisk, it will probably be a little longer than a fire dragon and a little thicker than an oak tree." Dumbledore said gently.

"Thank you, Monkey Thunder..." Aiwen couldn't help but clicked his tongue.

Obviously, this so-called basilisk is a difficult monster in terms of physical strength alone, not to mention that snake-like creatures have strong muscles and scales on their bodies. They should have high magic and physical resistance, at least against scattering effects such as roaring. The effect of type magic should not be great.

If you have to say it, Aiwen can open the Eye of the Dark Night, the secret of dragon destruction, or the Dark Flame Dragon mode. Once the double dragon mode roars, the basilisk will be severely disabled even if it does not die.But if he can't kill the basilisk directly, Ivan will probably not be able to drink any juice.

Before Ivan could complain, Lockhart fainted with a pop next to Dumbledore.

"Useless thing..." Moody glanced at him and muttered.

"It's still of some use." Ivan said casually: "Take him with you and throw him out when you encounter the basilisk. While the basilisk eats him, we can take the opportunity to kill that thing."

"What a great idea!" Professor Flitwick shouted in a high-pitched voice, and Ivan's proposal immediately gained unanimous approval from everyone present.

Lockhart moved his fingers and got up again in a daze. He laughed: "I'm so sorry. I haven't moved my body for a long time. My legs are so excited that I can't control them. But it's okay - I Someone who knows how to adjust the state.”

Everyone looked at him with disdain, and Lockhart smiled awkwardly.

"Okay, let's start grouping, two by two." Dumbledore glanced at everyone: "Focus on the bathroom faucets, toilets and other areas."

"Come, come here." Alvin hooked his hand towards Lockhart.

Lockhart's face suddenly turned pale, he smiled awkwardly, and then came to Ivan: "What a discerning person..."

"Be honest, or I'll kill you." Ivan glanced at him, his red eyes filled with bone-chilling coldness, and Lockhart suddenly felt chills all over his body.
