In fact, many people in Hogwarts don't know that Harry is not the only one who has zero tolerance for certain forbidden words in this school.
"Well, anyway...this student is very suspicious! Not only does she have an invisibility cloak, but she also has a special box, which definitely contains some secrets!" Greenglass paid a little attention to his words, But the tone was still disgusting.
"I see. You have to find a place to interrogate slowly. Why don't you go to the staff lounge on the first floor."
Snape nodded slightly, and at the same time made a gesture of invitation, signaling the other party to go first.
"I have exactly the same intention. I absolutely cannot tolerate these disobedient bastard students!"
Seeing that Snape was willing to help, Greenglass immediately had a smug smile on his face.
He turned around and strode forward, thinking about how to punish Hermione after finding the things in his heart...
But just when he passed the corner of the corridor, he found that a strange wall with strange patterns, like the belly of a snake, suddenly appeared in front of him!
From that 'wall', an unknown liquid is even winding down...
Greengrass looked up subconsciously, and the last thing he saw was a pair of yellow-green snake eyes that could take lives!
"This is... ah!!!"
He only had time to let out a scream, and all his vitality was completely wiped out.
Bang!
Greengrass's body fell straight backwards, just in time to show a frightened face at the corner of the corridor, which also made Hermione and Snape, who were lagging behind, stunned in place at the same time...
(ps The basilisk raised by the pure-blood leader finally stared to death a pure-blood molecule~
In addition, as a family that has a close relationship with Malfoy, Greengrass should also have an extremely bad attitude towards people of ordinary background. His eldest daughter Daphne also mixed with Pansy Parkinson when she was in school. One of the people together.
So I can only say that the youngest daughter, Astoria, was an accident and does not represent the whole family, the above~)
Chapter 160 Eight Smart Girls Can Recognize Each Other
"Professor Snape... was the school trustee... killed by the basilisk?"
After saying the word 'death', Hermione suddenly felt the two tendons in her calf twitch non-stop, and the pain made her unable to move half a step at all.
In all fairness, except for the widened eyes, Greengrass' death condition is not particularly miserable... But it is those lifeless gray-white eyes, when Hermione subconsciously looks at them, her heart will unconsciously Create great fear.
A person who was still alive just now died in front of him in the blink of an eye. Hermione, who was only 13 years old, would naturally be greatly shocked.
"Basilisk... Granger, do you have a mirror on you?" Snape asked in a deep voice while pulling Hermione back.
There was a slight tremor in his tone, but he carefully concealed it, making it sound as usual.
"Yes, yes..."
"give me!"
Hermione barely took out the small mirror she had prepared to guard against the basilisk, but Snape snatched it away, and then her body was pushed into the empty classroom beside her.
"Find a chance to escape by yourself!"
"Professor Snape?!" Hermione hurriedly wanted to stop her, but the fear that hadn't dissipated restricted her actions, and she could only watch Snape strode away outside the door.
How to do…
What should I do?
In the empty classroom, Hermione, who was convulsed with nervousness, had never hated her cowardice and uselessness as much as now.
She has always been conceited, but now she has become a burden to others, and she is too scared to move by a corpse!
But... what can I do now?
Between advance and retreat, Hermione fell into a dilemma.
Her experience is still too little, even though she can master many complicated spells, and under Tina's teaching, has a combat ability far superior to that of Tongji, but when it comes to death, hesitation is always inevitable.
Because the choice of life and death cannot be taught, only face it yourself.
Bang!Bang bang!
At this time, the box next to Hermione suddenly began to vibrate continuously, accompanied by a muffled sound like knocking on the door.
"The box... yes!" The voice made Hermione wake up like a dream, and hurriedly opened the suitcase after unlocking it.
There are roosters specially prepared by Harry in the box. As long as they are released, maybe they can help Professor Snape defeat the basilisk.
"After knocking for so long, it finally opened." But just when Hermione was about to enter the suitcase, the blond girl's head stuck out of the suitcase, almost colliding with Hermione.
And... in her hand she was holding a big, bouncing cock!
"Luna?" Hermione was taken aback when she saw this.
"There is a sight glass in the box to see what's going on outside. Can you catch it for me? It's struggling too much."
"okay."
Seeing the bloodstains on Luna's arm scratched by the chicken's claws, Hermione hurried forward to help, and the two barely suppressed the violent rooster with four hands.
"When I count to three, we'll rush out together and throw the chicken to the corner of the corridor!" At this moment, Hermione has no time to care about why Luna researched the suitcase more thoroughly than herself, and got the other party's assistance , she must immediately rescue Snape!
"One!" The two girls in the classroom looked tense at the same time, and even the cock in their hands subconsciously stopped struggling.
"three!!"
Hermione gave an order, and immediately jumped forward, while Luna immediately followed after being slightly dazed, and rushed out of the classroom with the other party holding the cock.
The two girls closed their eyes tightly and ran forward stumblingly. When they heard the roar of the monster getting closer, they both threw the cock out of their hands at the same time!
Due to excessive exertion, the two lost their balance and fell down involuntarily at the same time, but they didn't have time to cry out for pain at all, they just closed their eyes and hugged each other tightly, paralyzed on the ground and dared not move.
Oh cluck cluck!
Finally, a series of loud and clear rooster crows spread throughout the corridor, and the sound of the previous battle disappeared.
They didn't dare to open their eyes cautiously until the two women felt that the eerie roar was gradually drifting away in embarrassment.
The environment around the two of them was in chaos at the moment, and Greengrass's original intact body had become mutilated, apparently just now being used by Snape as a shield.
Judging from the bloodstains all over the floor, the monster obviously wanted to cross the corner to the corridor where Hermione was, but was dragged in place by Snape.
As for Snape himself who fought hard against the basilisk...
"Professor Snape?!"
In Hermione's eyes, Snape was holding a wand in one hand and Hermione's mirror in the other, standing motionless at the corner of the corridor, like a cold stone sculpture...
He was petrified.
Snape was supposed to be circling the basilisk across the corner, but when observing the movement with the help of a mirror, he accidentally saw the basilisk's eyes in the mirror.
"It's all my fault, my reaction is too slow!" Hermione blamed herself a lot now, she felt that Snape would be petrified, and she definitely had an inescapable responsibility.
If he had released the cock as soon as something happened to Greengrass, Snape wouldn't have to delay the basilisk to protect himself!
He once mentioned to Harry cryptically that he didn't even mind using himself as a bait to help Harry buy time... Hermione never expected that Snape's 'speaking of what he said' would turn out to be for her in the end!
"Are you okay?" Luna who was still sitting on the ground called softly, waking up Hermione who was blaming herself.
"I'm fine... this time is really thanks to you, thank you." Hermione managed to adjust her emotions, and after pulling Luna up from the ground, she thanked her solemnly.
The situation just now was really thanks to Luna, otherwise the consequences might not be as simple as the petrification of Sijiao.
And this also made Hermione start to reflect on whether she had been looking at Luna through colored glasses like other people before.
The reason why Harry valued this seemingly crazy girl so much, now it seems that there is a certain reason.
"You're welcome, but it's time for us to leave... we can't delay his actions." Luna's voice still sounded like she was singing, but it was a little out of tune when she listened carefully.
"I know! Professor Snape... can only be put here first." Hermione also knew that the situation was urgent, and they had to join Harry immediately, so there was no time to move the petrified Snape into the box.
"Uh... can you let me go back into the box?" Luna suddenly suggested weakly, "I didn't feel it just now, but now that I've calmed down, my feet are a little soft..."
"Ha, so you are also afraid, I thought you were so crazy that you didn't care about anything~"
Hermione couldn't help smiling when she heard the words, but she still carefully mixed Luna into the box.
"I didn't know this kind of thing at first." Luna puffed her mouth and said helplessly, but then she looked at Hermione with meaning, "By the way...why didn't you say 'two' just now?"
"I was nervous for a moment, so I forgot~" Hermione raised her chin slightly, her tone and demeanor regained her usual pride.
"Oh, that's it~" Luna responded lightly, still as disapproving as when she first met Hermione.
Both are smart girls, one doesn't want to hurt the other, and wants to rush out by making a sudden miscount; while the other reacts immediately and follows closely... These words are completely understandable between them.
Inside and outside the suitcase, the two women looked at each other and smiled, and they finally began to truly identify with each other.
Chapter 160 IX Former Eagle Academy Alumni Can't Even Enter the Gate
"Success..."
After extinguishing the fire, he used his wand to stir the potion in the crucible from boiling to cooling. Looking at the transparent liquid at the shallow bottom of the pot, Harry finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After more than twenty days, before the one-month deadline approached, Harry finally brewed the most important veritaserum.
Moreover, Principal Derwent, who was very knowledgeable about potions, also helped to confirm that there was no problem in Harry's process from brewing to the final potion, so he really succeeded.
After carefully putting the potion bottle away, Harry's tense face relaxed a little.
"Next, it's time to act!"
The cauldron, which was too late to clean up in the future, was temporarily placed in the principal's office, and Harry poured down the remaining Felicity Elixir in one gulp, and then he was ready to go!
"Son, we ashamed old guys can't do anything for you, and we can only hope for your safe return here."
Principal Dippet blamed himself for not being able to help Harry, but at the same time he had great expectations for Harry.
"Harry, you will definitely become a great wizard in the future. If you are willing to return to Hogwarts to teach after graduation, I can be sure that your portrait will appear in this room!"
How should I put it, although Principal Dippet's expectation of Harry is obvious to all, but what he said made Harry want to cover his face in various ways.
"Principal Dippet, can you stop thinking so far and just wait for me?" Harry couldn't laugh or cry.
Good guy, I haven't even lived enough, the former principal has already begun to look forward to his achievements after death~
Still, Harry was grateful for his consideration.
"Headmasters, it's getting late..." Harry waved his hand at the picture frames all over the wall, "It's time for me to save Hogwarts~"
After speaking, Harry turned around without hesitation, and strode down the spiral staircase leading to the exit on the third floor.
"Will this kid succeed?" After Harry left, the headmistress Moore asked uncertainly.
"That's for sure! Although he chose to give up his own honor, he is still the godson of my great-great-grandson Sirius, and he will never be ashamed for my Black family!" Phoenix said proudly, "But what I am curious about is that he Can you really become the second headmaster of the Black family after me in the future?"
"His surname is not Black at all, okay?" Dippet put his hand on his forehead helplessly, but his face always had a look of expectation, "Perhaps only Albus can see the child's future more clearly. But I believe that even if he doesn't become the headmaster in the future, he will definitely inject new vitality into Hogwarts, which is now stagnant!"
...
"What's the matter?" After leaving the principal's office, Harry couldn't help being confused when he heard the noise in his ears.
I haven't done anything myself yet, why is there a mess in the school first?
"Master Granger! Master Granger... something is wrong!!"
Coincidentally, Peeves also flew over at this time, and under his breathless explanation, Harry finally knew what was happening now.
The entrance to the Chamber of Secrets was opened again, and the heir of Slytherin left blood on the wall, saying that the bones of a student would remain in the Chamber of Secrets forever.
After seeing the news, the only remaining teachers in the school and the parents of the pure-blood family started to act at the same time, scattered all over the school in groups, and began to search the location of the secret room.
And under Gilderoy Lockhart's suggestion, the teachers didn't even spare the students' dormitories this time. It can be said that they are completely determined to find the secret room!
It's just... If Lockhart is the one who takes the lead, then there is definitely something wrong with it.
Also, why would the abducted student be Ginny Weasley?
"How is Hermione? What about Lockhart?" Frowning, Harry asked the question he was most concerned about.
"I don't know about Miss Granger's situation. After we parted on the eighth floor, I was busy following that idiot Lockhart." Peeves explained, "That guy is with Flitwick now. , to the Ravenclaw Tower!"
"As expected... Peeves, you go make trouble on the road first, hold him back for me!"
"Okay! I'm good at making things happen, Mr. Granger, just watch~"
