Harry Potter: The Age of Magic

Chapter 23 Saving Ginny

Fudge and several people from the Ministry of Magic were eventually forced to stay and assist the Hogwarts staff in searching for Ginny's whereabouts in the castle. Only Lucius left Hogwarts.

But the other party will only stay in Hogwarts for one night and will leave early tomorrow morning.

After changing out of the dirty cotton and linen clothes on her body, Rosie went to the school hospital to find Harry Potter. She planned to learn the snake language from him to open the Chamber of Secrets, then lead everyone from the Ministry of Magic into the Chamber of Secrets to kill the basilisk.

But Harry Potter insisted on opening the Chamber of Secrets himself.

Since he was not sure whether this game would change the formula for opening the trap, Rossi weighed for a moment and walked back with Harry, whose bones had just grown out and were not yet fully grown.

On the way, the two met Ron and Hermione who were secretly looking for Harry Potter.

"Why are you here?" Harry Potter asked his friend strangely.

"We are going to find you, Harry." Hermione said, and then asked: "Have you heard? Ginny is missing, Dumbledore has been dismissed, and Hagrid will be taken to Aziz tomorrow morning.

Caban.”

"I know, Rosie has already told me." Harry Potter glanced at Rosie, "We plan to find members of the Ministry of Magic now and take them to the Chamber of Secrets!"

Hearing this, Hermione frowned and glanced at Rossi and said: "This is not good. If you can really open the secret room, and in front of those people from the Ministry of Magic, will they suspect that it is you?

Opened the secret room?"

"Yes, Hermione is right." Ron felt that what Hermione said made sense, and nodded, "Harry, we can't bring people from the Ministry of Magic to open the Chamber of Secrets, especially when Dumbledore is not around."

Rossi rolled his eyes and complained in his mind: "As you said, am I not from the Ministry of Magic?" He also said at the same time: "But if you don't take them with you, what will you do if you encounter a basilisk?"

"We're just going to turn on the switch, so we may not encounter a basilisk. Besides, I'm already prepared." Hermione said, taking out a mirror and telling the remaining three people, "Just follow us.

That’s it.”

Having said that, without giving Rossi a chance to refute, he took the lead and walked towards the interior of the castle. When he met the corner, he carefully poked out the mirror first and made sure there was no danger before calling on the three people behind him to follow.

Hermione's bossy look made Rossi both angry and funny, so he followed her behind without saying anything more.

"Don't mind, Hermione's character is like this." Harry Potter whispered to Rosie, "Last year, she behaved even more outrageously, but she is much better now."

Silently all the way, the four of them arrived at Myrtle's bathroom on the second floor.

"Is this the mechanism you're talking about?" The three Harry Potters looked at the faucet engraved with a small snake and asked Rosie for confirmation.

"Of course." Rosie shrugged. The faint hint of snow-white under the emerald green lace caused Ron, who was looking at him, to receive a heavy elbow from Hermione.

After getting the definite answer, Harry Potter looked directly at the snake sculpture on the faucet and said seriously: "Open it!"

"You need to use Parseltongue to open it, Harry." Rosie shook her head imperceptibly and pointed.

Harry Potter scratched his head in annoyance and explained: "But I don't know how to speak snake language."

"Try to think of it as a real snake, a living snake." Before Rosie could say what she wanted to say, Hermione, who had been staring at her next to her, said.

"Is this possible? Let me try!" Harry Potter said, concentrating on looking at the mechanism.

A moment later, an obscure snake language came out of Harry Potter's mouth, and then, the faucet suddenly extended a few inches, and then, as if it was alive, it spiraled and twisted and retracted inwards.

The next second, the wall in the middle of the bathroom quickly collapsed inwards, forming a large, dark hole extending downwards in a matter of seconds.

"Ding, mission one, finding Slytherin's secret room has been completed. Do you want to receive the mission reward?"

The system prompt had just sounded, and before Rossi had time to check the mission rewards, a strong smell of blood hit him directly at the door.

Immediately afterwards, a rumbling crash was heard coming from the cave, and the room was shaken.

When Rossi and the four of them were grabbing the hands of the people next to them, trying to stabilize themselves, an orange-red rope suddenly shot out from the hole, trapping the unsuspecting four people and dragging them in.

In the cave.

Although Hermione, holding the wand in hand, used the "Break Curse" in time to lift the confinement spell, the four of them had already fallen into the deep hole.

While Hermione was breaking the confinement spell, Rossi, who took out his wand from his wand bag, quickly cast the levitation spell, slowing down the four people's fall.

After landing in a somewhat awkward but safe manner, Rossi, who felt his feet stepping on a sticky mess, discovered that all the walls of the dark cave had been soaked in blood.

In front of them, there were two passages whose distance was unclear. One of them was exactly the direction from which the loud sound came.

"Lumos!" With a deafening crash, Hermione lit up the surrounding environment with her wand.

"Hiss!" Harry and the three of them suddenly gasped. As students, they had never seen such a bloody scene before. Ron on the side even immediately covered his mouth due to nausea.

Without paying too much attention to the shock of the three people next to him, Rossi looked towards the direction of the roar with the light of the luminous spell, and saw a huge, dark green snake going crazy at the cross passage in the distance.

It seemed to be rolling and howling.

Every part of its huge body was stained with bright red blood. Due to its huge size, Rossi, who was some distance away from it, could only see part of its body.

"Then, that's a snake, a basilisk? It's so scary!" At this time, Ron, who had recovered a little, stammered, "With so much blood, how many people did it kill?"

Hermione's face was also a little pale, but she still forced herself to calm down and said: "No, those should not be human blood, but chicken blood."

"Chicken blood? What did the person who opened the Chamber of Secrets do with so much chicken blood?" Harry Potter, who had been holding his breath for a while, finally couldn't help but take a few breaths and asked in confusion.

"It should be that person who planned to make the basilisk go berserk to increase its aggressiveness and lethality." After Rossi explained, he looked at another passage next to him for a while, thinking at the same time: "I just used magic

The person who dragged us into the cave should have left from this direction."

"What are you going to do?"

Hermione's sudden voice interrupted Rosie's thoughts. She turned her head and saw Harry Potter lighting up his wand and walking towards the basilisk with a determined expression.

"You guys find a way to find reinforcements!" Harry Potter said without looking back, "Ginny is most likely over there, I have to rescue her!"

"Wait, wait a minute!" Ron, who was obviously very frightened next to him, also stood up at this time, "Ginny is my sister, and I have to save her!" Turning to Hermione, he said: "Hermione, you think of a way.

Call for reinforcements, we're relying on you!"

"Reckless!" Rossi scolded in a low voice, but for the first time, he felt a little more appreciative of Gryffindor's courage.

"Ding! Mission three, rescuing Ginny has started."

The timely prompt from the system made Rossi chuckle and patted the somewhat overwhelmed Hermione on the shoulder: "Be obedient and go find the rescuers!"

After saying that, he held his wand tightly and quickly chased after Harry Potter and the other two.
