Hogwarts lazy snake

Fox's phoenix cry seemed to contain some kind of mysterious power, and the sound contained a supreme deterrent to the basilisk.

The basilisk felt fear from the depths of its soul. This fear came from the suppression of its blood, which made it lose its composure in an instant. It even ignored Neville who was right next to it and just wanted to escape from this terrible place as soon as possible.

It twisted its huge body and tried to turn around and leave.

Fox would not give it this chance. He pounced towards the basilisk like a burning golden lightning.

The moment it approached the basilisk, it grabbed at the basilisk's eyes with its sharp claws. The movement was swift and fierce, and it seemed that it was too lazy to peck at it with its mouth.

Neville hadn't expected Fawkes to be so heroic.

At the same time, he saw clearly that the true face of the monster far away in the secret room was actually an extremely huge snake, and its huge body almost occupied half of the bathroom.

He hurriedly picked up his Colt pistol, took out a red bullet with flame patterns from his pocket, and quickly loaded it into the chamber.

This bullet was a magic bullet that Horn gave to him before he left school.

He fired a shot in the direction of the basilisk, "Bang!" The gunshot exploded again in the bathroom.

Although the basilisk was huge in size, its speed was not slow at all. It swung its tail quickly, and the bullet that was originally aimed at the basilisk's body only hit its tail.

The moment the bullet hit the basilisk's tail, a ball of fire erupted.

Roar!

The basilisk didn't even bother to check its wound and directly used its injured tail to whip the bathroom door.

The wooden door, which had been there for who knows how many years, was shattered by the attack of its tail, and fragments flew everywhere.

Neville turned around quickly and used his body to block Hermione and Ron, who were petrified on the ground.

He closed his eyes tightly, praying silently in his heart not to be hit by the debris.

The fragments flew past him, some of them cut his clothes and left shallow wounds on his skin, but he gritted his teeth, made no sound, and still firmly protected his friends.

Elsewhere in the castle, Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape also noticed something unusual in the bathroom.

They looked at each other and hurried towards the bathroom, holding their wands tightly in their hands, ready to deal with any possible danger.

They didn't know what exactly happened in the bathroom, but the powerful magical fluctuations made them realize that the situation was extremely critical.

Fox saw Neville's actions and the basilisk's tail was about to petrify Neville. He was determined to beat the three little guys into a pulp, so he pecked at the basilisk's tail from mid-air.

At this time, the basilisk was angered by the attacks of Fawkes and Neville. Its body began to swell, and the scales on its body stood up, and each scale flashed with a strange light.

It let out a deafening roar, the sound seemed to shake the entire castle down, and then continued to wag its tail.

Just when Fox thought that the ugly big snake wanted to continue attacking and was about to hit it again, he found that this despicable guy suddenly turned around and disappeared around a corner.

Fawkes did not chase after them, after all, there were three little ones here that needed his protection. At this time, Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape finally arrived.

As soon as Professor McGonagall came in, she saw two crystal tears rolling down Fawkes' eyes. Those tears seemed to contain the secret of life, slowly dripping onto the petrified Hermione and Ron.

Neville was confused at first when he saw Fawkes's actions, but when he saw the two tears dripping onto Hermione and Ron, a magical scene happened.

The two of them first emitted a soft yellow light, which was like warm sunlight penetrating the clouds and covering their petrified bodies. As the light flickered, the petrified state disappeared, and Hermione and Ron gradually regained their vitality.

Hermione coughed a few times and blinked her dry eyes, with a trace of confusion in her eyes: "I was scared to death, I thought I was going to meet Merlin's pants!"

Ron sat up suddenly, looking horrified: "What a big head! What about those scary big eyes?"

As he spoke, he touched his body, as if he couldn't believe that he had escaped from the petrified state.

Neville was overjoyed when he saw this, and quickly explained: "It was Fawkes who saved you. His tears removed the petrification. The basilisk just escaped, and Fawkes didn't chase it to protect us."

Fawkes chirped a few times, as if responding to Neville's words.

Professor McGonagall breathed a sigh of relief as she watched Hermione and Ron return to normal. Her expression was serious: "Kids, you are too reckless. This time it was really dangerous. If it weren't for Fawkes, the consequences would be disastrous."

Looking at the wood chips still scattered all over the floor and the bathroom still in tatters.

Professor Snape frowned, glanced at the mess in the bathroom, and said coldly: "What's going on? Why are you doing this here? Where's Harry?"

Fox saw that there was nothing to do above him, and suddenly scarlet flames appeared around him, surrounding him, and then he disappeared along with the flames.

Hermione stood up, straightened her messy hair, looked at Professor McGonagall, and answered nervously: "Professor, we came here to track down Harry..."

At this point, Hermione's voice suddenly became softer. Then she quickly winked at Ron and Neville.

"Oh, yes, we have clues that he may be in danger nearby, and~hiss~" Ron saw Hermione's look and quickly continued, but when he said this he felt a pain in his waist.

"Hermione, what are you doing!" Ron looked at Hermione who suddenly hit him with an angry and confused look on his face.

Before Hermione could stop him, Neville hurriedly took out a map from his pocket, unfolded it and handed it to Professor Snape: "Professor, look, this previously showed that Harry's signal disappeared near the women's bathroom on the second floor. We were worried that he might have met with an accident, so we hurried over here."

When Hermione heard the two of them say this, and Neville actually took out the Marauder's Map, she felt helpless, and in the narration, she seemed to see her rolling her eyes helplessly and patting her forehead with her hand.

She knew very well that the Marauder's Map was an extremely secret treasure, and it would be disastrous if it was confiscated by the professor.

Professor Snape took the map, a hint of subtle doubt flashed in his eyes. He looked at the map carefully, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, as if mocking: "Humph, where did you get this thing? Mr. Weasley, Miss Granger, Mr. Longbottom, you are really capable, actually using that blank piece of parchment to deceive people~"

Ron looked nervous and was about to speak when Hermione quickly answered, "Professor, Neville was nervous and took the wrong one. This is actually the alchemy tool Horn gave us."

As she spoke she took out a short stick, her eyes showing a hint of sincerity, hoping to get away with it.
