Hogwarts Homecoming

A huge roar resounded through the dark room, and the heavy impact made the huge room tremble. What was even more terrible was that under the basilisk's reckless impact, Salazar Slytherin's leg fell from the knee. It broke directly at the position, and the huge stone pillar fell and hit Amosta and Newt.

This sudden change shocked Newt so much that he didn't react at all. Amosta had no choice but to grab Newt's arm and drag the legendary magical creature expert a few steps aside to prevent him from using this weapon. Die a shameful way.

Boom! ! !

The pillar-like stone legs suddenly fell down, and the strong earthquake bounced Amosta and Newt off the ground. The entire stone room shook in the aftermath of the tremors, and smoke and dust fell from the sky like drizzle. Amosta's quick eyesight and hands quickly propped up the milky white barrier, preventing the two of them from becoming even more embarrassed.

But something more terrible happened!

The huge statue that was missing a leg was shaken by the chain reaction caused by the vibration. The statue that was dozens of feet tall actually lost its stability and tilted to one side. And such a large stone block hit the ground, which completely shook the converted cellar. No.

At this time, even Amosta frowned.

He suddenly raised his index finger, and a cluster of small golden flames suddenly appeared on his fingertips. Then, he curled his fingers and the small flames immediately left the fingertips and swelled in the wind. By the time they fell on the stone statue, they had already become There was an overwhelming golden curtain of fire, covering Slytherin's face that was obviously deformed by some magical experiments when he was old!

Magical creations are more easily dissolved.

Like snow meeting a bright spring, the huge Slytherin sculpture melted rapidly from the beginning. Before the body could tilt much, the huge statue disappeared in front of Newt's eyes as if it had been erased.

call!

Amosta waved his sleeves and stirred up an evil wind, scattering all the smoke and dust that had not yet swept away. The flames that burned the statue flew up to the ceiling and turned into bright stars. For a moment, the dark room was as bright as day.

After doing all this, Amosta had time to look at the basilisk that had caused trouble, and when he saw it, he immediately became speechless.

Most of the basilisk's huge body has been embedded deep into the wall, and only half of its tail is still exposed in the air, swinging wildly. It probably intends to drill through the wall and leave, but it has already reached the limit of the space blocked by the Traceless Stretch Curse. No matter what, No matter how hard you try, you won't make any progress!

Blah, blah, blah!

But the basilisk didn't know this, it was still squirming crazily, breaking large pieces of stone!

Newt stared in shock and confusion at the basilisk that seemed to have turned into a 'earthworm'. After holding it in for a long time, his wrinkled cheeks trembled slightly as he looked at Amosta.

"What have you done to it?"

“It’s nothing”

Amosta frowned and thought for a while, "The last time I met it, it was trying to kill a few little wizards, so, I, um, scared it?"

After saying that, Amosta responded to Newt's glare 'innocently'.

In fact, he also missed the point that at that time, he dismembered the Horcrux of Salazar Slytherin's descendant in front of the Basilisk.

The basilisk was still tossing endlessly, which was quite annoying. Amosta raised his hand and moved his fingers. One of the stars illuminated under the ceiling fell down and turned into a huge flaming sword on the basilisk that had penetrated the wall. The sword is ready to kill.

The swaying snake's tail suddenly straightened.

Amosta walked over slowly and said calmly,

"come out."

Susu——

The snake's tail curled, and the basilisk swayed again, but this time it did not escape forward, but backwards. After another period of tossing, with a bang, the basilisk returned to the cellar, lying on Amos's face in disgrace. In front of the tower.

The flaming sword lying across the top of the basilisk lost its sword form, softened into a rope and fell down, covering the basilisk's huge snake head to form a suspended collar. During the whole process, the basilisk remained motionless. It was still there. I remember that it was burned by this kind of flame, and the aura of destruction contained in it made it tremble.

"I thought it only understood Parseltongue."

Amosta turned his head to look at Newt and said a little happily, but he was very sure that Newt's face flashed with greenness after hearing him speak, but in the end, he sighed helplessly,

"Perhaps violence can make magical beasts surrender temporarily, Amosta, but you can never win their sincerity, and you can never become friends."

Amosta nodded knowingly, then looked at the basilisk's blind eyes and said calmly and indifferently,

"Open your mouth."

The basilisk vomited a small piece of snake letter. It seemed a little unhappy and a little aggrieved. What could it possibly do? The wizard in front of it seemed to be more ferocious and powerful than last time. It could only do as it was told and slowly opened its mouth. The mouth revealed two rows of ferocious and terrifying fangs, filled with a strong fishy smell.

Amosta looked around for a few times and soon saw the two empty spaces in the basilisk's lower jaw and a row of fangs.

"Dumbledore took one of the fangs?"

The basilisk was so cooperative that Newt was stunned for a moment. He took a deep breath and walked to Amosta's side.

"That's right--"

Newt nodded and said,

"Not long after Wright was delivered to me, Albus wrote to me, saying that he hoped to have one of Wright's fangs for research, so I pulled one out and sent it to Albus while I was checking Wright's teeth. Don’t think.”

After a pause in his tone, Newt bent down, pointed at another empty spot and said,

"About October last year, Wright became very manic for a while. I communicated with him for a long time before he was willing to tell me that one of his teeth was uncomfortable. I guess it was lost. That fang gave it a psychological shadow

Anyway, I checked its teeth again and found that the root of the fang buried in the gum was severely corroded and loose. So, I persuaded Wright to let me remove the fang for it. To my surprise, after I pulled out the bad tooth, I discovered that the tooth was hollow, with a Slytherin family crest made of mithril and gold and embellished with emeralds hidden inside. "

Seeing Amosta squinting his eyes and listening carefully, Newt took a breath and continued,

"I asked Wright, but he didn't know anything about it. He didn't know why he had this thing hidden in his teeth, but he did recognize the name Salazar on the exquisite Slytherin emblem. The scent of Slytherin himself."

Amosta rubbed his fingers.

"Have you told Headmaster Dumbledore about this?"

"I did mention it in my letter to Albus, and Albus was also very interested. He wanted to see the badge, but I told Albus that Wright was very obsessed with the symbol on the badge. The breath of Racha himself, so it begged me to return the badge to it in Wright's belly.

Albus asked me to confirm with Wright whether no one else had touched the badge from it. After getting the answer, he gave up his plan to get the badge. But Albus said, if I have a chance to meet you, I can Tell you this. "

Amosta stood with his hands behind his hands, thinking quietly.

When Dumbledore first heard about this, his first reaction was probably that it was another Horcrux hidden by Voldemort, but he soon understood that this possibility was unlikely.

First of all, the basilisk has told Newt that it knows nothing about this family emblem.

Secondly, it was impossible for Voldemort to make such a mistake and let his two Horcruxes collide, as the risk of exposure would be greatly increased.

Thirdly, if the basilisk's teeth were really Horcruxes, there would be no need for Lucius Malfoy to send the notebook back to Hogwarts for the Chamber of Secrets to be opened.

It should be the handiwork of Salazar Slytherin himself.

Dumbledore knew what he was supposed to be tracking down, and it was related to the four founders of Hogwarts. He had previously taken back the Ravenclaw crown from Dumbledore, and had also inspected the relics of the Big Four. is extremely concerned about the mysterious runes.

Dumbledore may have thought that this badge might be related to what he was investigating, and in order to avoid the misunderstanding that he was peeking into his secrets, he asked Newt to tell him.

Amosta glanced at Newt, who was looking at him curiously, hesitated for a moment, and his gaze on the basilisk's giant mouth became indifferent again.

"Spit it out."

Amosta said.
