Harry Potter and the Temple of Tales

Chapter 43: The Basilisk Gaze

"Yellow eyes, yellow eyes."

In the library, as the end of the semester approaches, the little wizards have started a cramming policy. After all, not everyone has the strong learning ability of Hermione or Louis. After staying up late in the past few days and cramming, they have completed nearly a year.

Master the knowledge points as much as possible.

However, this was not the case for Hermione. She shuttled through the restricted book section of the library and even muttered something to herself, causing the administrator, Mrs. Pince, to stare at the second-year wizard with vigilant eyes from time to time.

Her little hand passed through the books and suddenly stopped at an ancient book.

"The Encyclopedia of Ancient Magical Creatures, this is it."

Hermione stood on her tiptoes and lightly slid her fingers on the book. The red-covered book gradually floated out from the bookshelf.

.....

Louis ran wildly and ran out of the Gryffindor common room. He bumped into many people along the way. They kept complaining, but when they turned around, they saw Louis again, and the foul language he just uttered was suppressed alive.

.

"Hey, Wiggins, where are you running?"

However, as soon as Louis ran under the living room, he was caught by Malfoy, who had been ambushing him for a long time.

"Go away, Malfoy, I don't have time to play with you right now." Louis' expression was extremely resentful.

"Oh, are the Mudbloods starting to get aggressive now?" Malfoy approached with Crabbe and Goyle.

"What do you want Malfoy?" Facing Draco's advances, Louis didn't want to think of the conflict and delay saving Hermione.

"What do you want? What do you think I want?" Malfoy laughed, Crabbe and Goyle also laughed, and at this moment, several people from Slytherin House gradually gathered around.

"I want you to kneel down, Mudblood." After the laughter, Malfoy's eyes suddenly became stern, "You Mudbloods are only worthy of licking our feet."

There was no emotion or anger on Louis' face. After a long time, he gradually squatted down.

Malfoy's lips curled up. Just when he was proud, Louis suddenly kicked Malfoy downwards.

Bang!

There was a loud noise from above, and Louis raised his fist and hit Malfoy directly on the chin.

Although he only had the physique of an eleven-year-old boy, under his powerful attack, Malfoy fell backwards and fell to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

In addition, he was attacked by two parties. The little Malfoy below was so painful that he could not straighten up due to such an attack by Louis, and Malfoy's jaw was almost broken by Louis.

But it wasn't over yet. Louis stepped forward and stepped on Malfoy's hand, causing the young master to faint from the pain.

Everything happened so fast that no one could react. Even Crabbe and Goyle, who were standing nearby, looked confused.

"Draco." Crabbe and Goyle took the lead in helping him, while the other Slytherins who were watching all pressed towards Louis.

He pulled out his wand and faced the Slytherin group. The tip of the wand was burning, and there was a danger of it breaking out at any time.

"If you want to try the curse, you can come forward." Louis said viciously. The Slytherins were a little panicked, and no one dared to come forward.

Louis stepped directly in front of Malfoy, who was crying and screaming. Facing Malfoy's appearance, he kicked Malfoy in the chest one after another.

"You just said who kneeled down and licked whom!"

Louis' attack was quite harsh. After all, Malfoy was a bit too weak. If he didn't respond to such humiliation, then he wouldn't be called Louis.

"You pure bloods are nothing more than this with your little strength."

At this time, Malfoy had already fainted from the pain. Crabbe and Goyle wanted to stop Louis, but the actions of the two stupid men had long been seen through by Louis.

With a deft dodge from him, they each punched each other and fell to the ground.

The little wizard relied so much on the power of magic that he had no defense against Louis' physical attacks. At such a close distance, any spell recited was useless as a direct punch.

"Huh, I told you not to block my way."

Lewis looked at the three people lying on the ground, then shook his head, and ran towards the library regardless of how they called.

Although a lot of time was wasted with Malfoy, he has not heard any sound of the basilisk moving so far, which means that Hermione is still safe for the time being.

The library was located upstairs on the other side of the castle. Louis finally opened the door to the library after going through all the hardships.

Looking around, there were all students working hard for the final exam, but Louis didn't see Hermione's curly hair. Could it be...

In the restricted book area, Hermione was holding a book and arguing with Mrs. Pince. Since there was no signature from the professor, students in the restricted book area were not allowed to borrow books, but Hermione insisted on doing so. When asked why, she said it was about the secret room.

things.

"You second-year students want to solve the secret room?" Mrs. Pince's eyes kept flashing doubts, "And it is too dangerous. I will not agree with you."

"Mrs. Pince, please help me. I really need this book." Hermione's eyes flashed with pitiful emotions, but Mrs. Pince didn't seem to agree with her.

"It's no use telling me, this is the rule."

"Hermione!"

There was a hurried shout, and Louis appeared behind Hermione in time.

"Mrs. Pingsi, I'm sorry, we are leaving now."

Hermione, who was originally excited, was confused by Louis's actions. In desperation, she had no choice but to return the book to the librarian intact.

Hermione, who was pulled out by Louis, was speechless all the way. Finally, she couldn't help but said on the way: "Louis, what's wrong?"

"What are you thinking about, Hermione." Louis' mood was somewhat irritable.

"You know it's so dangerous to go out alone, why do you still insist on going to the library to check? Do you know how I will explain to Harry and Ron if the monster comes to find you?"

Perhaps affected by Malfoy's previous mood, Lewis's series of questions left Hermione speechless.

"I'm not your captive pet, Louis." Hermione said firmly, she looked at Louis' cheek, "I have my own choices, and I also have reasons for doing all this, and compared to you and Ginny

I can protect myself better!"

Louis was stunned. He suddenly realized that he was too afraid of losing his friends and wanted to protect them too much. But at the same time, he also ignored one thing. Hermione, as a girl who was a whole level higher than him, had already experienced magic.

The girl involved in the stone incident may be relatively more experienced in handling crises than herself.

"Hermione, I..." Louis was about to apologize to Hermione, but at this moment, a strong sense of crisis rushed into his heart.

He frowned, and his first reaction was to protect Hermione behind him, and then he heard the cold whisper that had appeared for the third time.

Hermione looked confused, but when she saw Lewis's serious expression, she became nervous unconsciously.

The whispers were getting closer and closer, like devils roaring around. Louis pointed his wand around, always paying attention to the movements around him.

"Louis..." Hermione leaned towards Louis and pulled out the wand with him. Although she didn't know what they were facing, the invisible sense of crisis was more motivating.

Inner fear.

"Over there!" Louis pointed his wand, and a spell was immediately formed, and the red light flashed and hit the empty space.

At this moment, a giant snake as thick as a sewer pipe slowly emerged from the toilet next to it.

Louis had never seen the appearance of a basilisk. The basilisk had gray scales all over its body, its head was like a fire dragon, and it had sharp fangs, just like the male version of Jörmungandr in Nordic mythology.

"Close your eyes, Hermione!" Louis immediately reminded Hermione, and at the same time pointed his wand forward, "Thunderbolt explosion!"

At this time, Louis could think of a more powerful spell. The only drawback was that the directionality was not very good, but it was more than enough to defeat such a large monster.

The basilisk was in pain, and suddenly screamed strangely, and then its whole body was attacked like a whirlwind sweeping leaves.

With his eyes closed, Louis could only judge the Basilisk's attack through his ears and his sixth sense. He felt a strong wind blowing from the right, and immediately pulled Hermione to the left.

The basilisk's powerful attack hit the ground and splashed a large amount of gravel.

"What is that?" Hermione asked Louis in shock.

"Basilisk." Louis could only answer briefly because he felt that this guy's next attack was about to come.

"The Basilisk? I should have known." Hermione suddenly realized, "Yellow eyes, the power of the death gaze, and even Hagrid's rooster. I have read in a book that the Basilisk is an egg from a toad's belly.

It hatches out of a spider and is the natural enemy of spiders. They are all matched!"

"Don't worry about whether it's right or not, let's solve the problem at hand first." Louis shouted immediately, and the basilisk's tail swept over their heads again. He waved his wand, "Shattered to pieces!" Attacked the basilisk again, bang.

With one blow, his scales slightly exploded.

There is no completely effective way to deal with the basilisk, and it also has a special move, which is its death stare.

"Hermione, there is only one way now." Lewis said to Hermione cautiously, "I will attract its attention and hold it down. You quickly go and notify Dumbledore. I think he must have a way to deal with the basilisk.

.”

"No, Louis, I won't allow it..."

"No time, Hermione." Louis cast an affirmative look at Hermione, and then without waiting for Hermione to react, Louis rushed directly in front of the basilisk and yelled at it.

"Hey, silly guy, don't you want blood? I'm here!"

He seemed to be speaking in a snake-like tone, and the basilisk immediately turned his head.

It was now that Louis raised his wand high, pointed it at the basilisk's head, and used the spell for the first time.

"The Divine Edge is Shadowless!"

Perhaps due to the limitation of his magic power, the spell that Snape was once proud of only left a white trace on the head of the basilisk. However, at this moment, the basilisk opened its eyes and looked directly at Louis.

body.

The death stare from the basilisk, the yellow eyes that represent death.

Louis felt his whole body tremble, and a pain from the depths of his soul was squeezing from all directions. Gradually, he seemed to lose consciousness, and endless darkness suddenly enveloped him. Even Hermione's call from the side could no longer be heard clearly.
