[HP] Noble

After listening to Scorpius' words, Ron Weasley didn't seem to react much. He just looked at the Slytherins with a pale face. After a short pause, he turned his gaze back to Potter, and then The reader seemed to feel his questioning gaze, and the Savior of Gryffindor said softly, "Ginny may still be alive, Ron."

The red-haired Gryffindor nodded palely, and asked cautiously, "So?"

"I think we should go down." The Gryffindor savior took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind.

"Yes, of course you have to go down, my lovely children, otherwise who should I ask for the subject of my next book?"

At this moment, Lockhart interrupted the Gryffindors' discussion that seemed to be encouraging each other, and at the same time he had his usual smile on his face-only now, this smile But it was full of disgusting despicableness, Scorpius frowned involuntarily when he saw it.

At the same time, Lockhart turned his head and aimed at the Slytherins who had never said a word, probably knowing that he was facing a difficult role at this time, he restrained his disgusting smile, Lowering his voice, his eyes flickered with crazy light and said slowly: "As for you, Mr. Malfoy, Mr. Great—"

"I won't go down." Draco raised his chin.

"I'm afraid it's not up to you." Professor Lockhart shook his head lightly, "If you leave, I will tell everyone that you opened the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets and lured Mr. Potter and Mr. Weasley into the Chamber of Secrets— Thinking about your father's comments over the years, Mr. Malfoy, people will definitely believe them without hesitation, let alone me, what Lockhart said - they would be happy to see the Malfoy family go back to the name. The camp of that person--that's the position they want to see, and then, you know there are always rumors that that person is back recently, as a means of venting the panic, think about what will happen to your family, What will you face, what will you encounter, oh, a thoughtful piece of advice, you can't bear the impact of a little gossip."

Lockhart giggled like a little girl as he spoke.

And at this moment, with every word he said, the expression on Draco's face became a little uglier - when he finally laughed, instead, the Slytherin prince's face looked like A patient recovering from a serious illness has no blood at all. It is obvious that Draco has some pride in some aspects, but he has weaknesses.

His weakness lies in the things he really cares about.

His family, lovers, family name.

Scorpius knows this better than anyone - and now - look at the haunted expression on the face of proud Master Malfoy - he's only a second year kid, and Lockhart as a For an adult to bully people like this, it's really...unfortunate!

So at this moment, the black-haired Slytherin who had been silent all this time finally raised his head. He stared blankly at the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor who shamelessly held a student not far away. His fingertips had been flickering ever since. The stopped silver snake lightly brushed past the ring, and after a short pause, he said lightly: "Understood, if this can make you shut your mouth, we will go down to the secret room together—"

"What?!" The Slytherin prince frowned, "Gretel, I don't need you to—"

"Draco, he is right. Although he is a big liar, this does not prevent him from being a public figure. Even if he says any irresponsible words, people will believe them. You will not be able to convince everyone to believe you , you know this yourself, don't you? There are mirrors everywhere, look at your face, and you'll know what I'm talking about." Scorpius interrupted Draco's growl, he turned around, He forced a smile on his face and said, "What's more, with me here, what else can happen?"

At this moment, the silver-gray pupils of the platinum nobleman almost condensed into one point. He was silent for a while, as if he was weighing the words of the senior Slytherin. Tongue, he just stared at Scorpius, and said almost word by word: "I can trust you, can't I?"

This time, Scorpius really smiled, nodded and said, "Of course."

Even if I try my best today, I will take good care of you, so that you will be on the Hogwarts Express when school starts next year, and you will be able to stand proudly on the Hogwarts Express. I yelled "Get out of the way", showing off your rogue-like aristocratic demeanor.

……

After the consensus was reached, the four students present walked down the stairway and climbed down the secret room one after another. Potter walked in the front, followed by Ron Weasley, then Draco, and finally Scorpius——Lockhart waited for everyone to enter the secret room, and then he held his wand high and slowly followed them far behind, because he had to prevent Scorpius and the others from turning around and attacking him at any time, so He didn't even dare to use lighting spells in a dim environment, so he could only vaguely follow the light at the front of Scorpius' wand and grope forward.

The steps were more slippery than Scorpius remembered, and seemed to be sticky with suspicious slime on the surface - they walked about a long flight of stairs, and then they came to a huge water pipe familiar to Scorpius , the water pipe is a bit high, for the second graders, they need to put down their wands and use their hands and feet to climb up...

"I think there must be rats here," Potter mumbled as he climbed up the pipe. "I'd love to smell them."

"This is the sewer, Potter, and you're the reckless invasive alien species when it comes to rats."

Draco taunted with a very ugly face. At the same time, with the help of Scorpius, he climbed up the huge water pipe with a slightly less ugly posture, so that at this moment, people only heard the water coming from his palm. There was a crisp sound of "crack" from below, and Draco was stunned for a while, but before he realized what was going on, another red-haired Gryffindor screamed loudly beside his ear— —

That sound was like killing a pig.

Under the fluorescent light on the tip of the wand, Draco looked scared enough.

Resisting the urge to roll his eyes, Scorpius had to raise his voice to avoid growling: "For God's sake, Weasley, that's just a corpse of a rat—or cockroach—or whatever, You can't wait to tell the basilisk we're here?"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Ron's voice suddenly dropped.

The surroundings suddenly quieted down.

In the awkward atmosphere where everyone was staring at each other, the red-haired Gryffindor blushed, quickly glanced at the helpless senior Slytherin, and said in a voice softer than a mosquito humming: "Sorry ,I thought……"

"—Even if your sister has become a corpse, she's still hot now, not a skeleton so quickly, Weasley."

Draco, who was terrified by the red-haired Gryffindor's screams, said with a straight face at the moment, his pupils were still dark gray when he was in a tense state, and his words managed to convince The slightly relaxed red-haired Gryffindor's face turned ugly again, and this seemed to be the result he wanted, because Scorpius saw him raise his eyebrows in satisfaction.

"Keep going, kids."

Lockhart said behind, waving his wand at the same time, and several threatening-looking sparks flew out from the front of the wand.

"...If he is in such a hurry, he can go to the front."

Harry Potter curled his lips helplessly and muttered, while turning around and moving on, Weasley probably wasn't ready to forgive Draco's vicious words about Ginny just now, and after giving him a vicious look, then He quickly turned around and followed behind his friend.

In the darkness, the group of people walked forward for about ten meters, because the surroundings were too dark and too quiet, except for the sound of ticking water, only the heavy breathing of each other was left in their ears. In the environment of the reference object, people will easily lose the ability to judge the distance of time and memory - Scorpius doesn't know how long they walked until they finally crossed the long and narrow water pipe by crawling. Everyone was exhausted, but at this moment, they found that Potter, who was leading the battle at the front, suddenly became quiet——

He stood there blankly, as if he had become a statue in an instant.

"Harry?"

This terrified Ron Weasley, and when he called his friend's name, there was a palpable burst of uncontrollable tears in his voice.

Fortunately, Potter moved after hearing the call, and he turned to look at his friend: "Come here, Ron."

"For God's sake, you can't suddenly freeze like you've been petrified, that freaks me out—"

Weasley grumbled and grumbled, and reluctantly moved closer to Potter... When the vision around him was fully opened, he finally saw clearly what silenced Potter, because it also made Potter He swallowed all the sentences he hadn't finished speaking——

Not far from them, there is a huge black shadow coiled around. It is long and coiled into a ball, silently.

Everyone: "..."

Before they were mentally prepared, this thing appeared in front of them in such a grandiose manner, forgive their gaffe, because at this time, even the gods cannot be particularly calm——

Weasley howled brokenly, "Oh, oh oh oh oh no—"

Potter said nervously, "Shh! Ron! Shhh!!!"

Draco lowered his voice and growled, "What the hell is that?"

Scorpius lazily said: "Either it's the corpse of the basilisk, or a sleeping basilisk, or the shed skin of the basilisk, or...a big pile of shit."

"Not funny, Gretel!"

In the darkness, Scorpius heard Prince Slytherin's annoyed growl, which made him laugh instead, God knows he didn't mean to be joking just now, because the long thing was coiled up thickly, and it did It's really a lot like... um, that thing.

The basilisk is not deaf. The most spells that a first-year girl Ginny Weasley can use proficiently is the levitation spell, and it is impossible to kill a basilisk by one person alone. So it is obvious that at the moment they The one in front of me must be the skin that the basilisk shed before—I heard that the basilisk will double in size after it sheds its skin—the basilisk that Scorpius saw in the fourth grade was already a rotten body Corpse, at that time, he already felt that the basilisk in Hogwarts was much more nutritious than he imagined, and now it seems...

More than just nutritious.

It is simply over-nutrition.

According to the habits of snakes, because they are extremely fragile when moulting, they usually choose a place that they feel safe to complete molt-this place is usually their old nest.

In other words, they are now standing majestically on the territory of Mr. Basilisk.

Scorpius glanced back, as expected, the great Professor Lockhart has run away and disappeared, his hands and feet are really nimble, probably at this moment he has found a good place to hide, without hindering him It does not prevent him from continuing to enjoy his extremely cherished life.

...Lockhart's life is very valuable, and our lives are not cheap.

Scorpius looked around while thinking about it, and it was dark at the moment, which was a rather unfavorable factor—first of all, such dim light would prevent them from discovering the appearance of the basilisk in time, and second, to use an analogy , In the darkness, if a different light source suddenly appeared in a place, what would be your first reaction?

The answer is: subconsciously look towards that light source.

And here, the pupils of the basilisk are the so-called light sources.

Exactly the same as Moaning Myrtle.

Even if one is prepared for this, it is impossible to completely restrain the body's instinctive reaction to certain things in a panic situation——

Well, now there is only one way to prevent the tragedy of "died before leaving school"... Scorpius paused, and quietly pointed at the cloak with his wand and whispered a curse, and the slight cloth At the same time as the sound of tearing was heard, he bent down, leaned close to the ear of the platinum noble next to him, and lowered his voice, "Draco, you said you would trust me, didn't you?"

Draco inexplicably turned his head and glanced at the mysterious senior Slytherin beside him, frowned, and said impatiently: "Yes, I don't want to repeat what I said—oh, what are you doing ?!"

"In case you look around and see something you shouldn't see." Scorpius covered the eyes of Prince Slytherin with the cloth strip torn from the cloak in his hand.

"Damn it I can't see anything," Draco growled annoyed.

Scorpius calmly patted his hand that was about to tear off the cloth strip: "You said that my sense of smell is better than that of a hellhound, and you also said that trust me, now, honestly hold your wand , Che Er listens to everything that happens around you, and then do as I say, I am your eyes."
