Hogwarts: My name is the Unforgivable Curse

Chapter 153 Basilisk: (parseltongue swear)

After smelling several strange smells, the basilisk immediately became energetic - its instinct was telling it that food was coming to its door.

So it immediately stared at the leader with its deadly gaze, and let out a dangerous and cold hiss. Its sharp fangs were looming, and its entire body was compressed and tightened like a spring, forming an extremely... Uneasy and ready to go, it seems that it will rise up in the next second and swallow up those few little things...

thump.

Suddenly, the originally solid ground beneath the basilisk suddenly turned into a pool, causing it to fall in unexpectedly. However, what is even more despicable is that the water instantly turned back into hard stone after completely submerging the basilisk's body, thus firmly imprisoning it in the ground and unable to move...

Then, a piece of gravel on the ground suddenly turned into a black cloth and flew up, tightly wrapping the basilisk's eyes.

"I think we can open our eyes."

Professor McGonagall put down her wand in a brisk tone and took off her sunglasses.

"Well done, Minerva."

Dumbledore and the other professors happily took off their sunglasses and began to gather around the basilisk and look at it unscrupulously. Professor Flitwick thought the basilisk buried in the ground looked incomplete, so he let thick steel grow out of the ground to wrap around the basilisk's body and lift it up into the air, as if in a museum. The specimens shown here are the same...

All in all, there is nothing impressive about it.

"Children, come and take a look. The basilisk is no longer in danger."

Professor Sprout cheerfully greeted the students hiding behind the door, and the latter walked in with a confused expression, and then looked around with a confused expression, convinced that his current location was A secret room full of dangers, not a museum...

"Uh, professor,"

Harry pointed to the thing that was tied to the shelf with some uncertainty: "Is that the basilisk?"

"Yes." Professor Sprout nodded gently.

"Is it the behemoth that has lived from the Slytherin era to today, the most dangerous XXXXX-level magical creature, Voldemort's trump card, and the culprit who turned the students to stone?"

"That's right."

"Then, it was solved in just three or two strokes?"

Harry also deliberately rubbed his eyes, and together with Ron, Hermione and Luna, showed expressions that had not turned around, as if they were not very accepting of the fact that the shadow that had been entrenched in Hogwarts for thousands of years was resolved in a few seconds.

"How many more strokes do you expect, Mr. Potter?"

Professor Sprout asked with a smile: "No matter how long-lived, deadly or famous it is - it is just a magical creature, with only a few kinds of magic on it, and other than that it has only It takes more effort... We are wizards, Mr. Potter."

"Wizards are the ones who truly stand at the top of all magical creatures."

"……ha?"

Several first- and second-year guys looked at each other, unable to turn around for a while.

"You need to update your concepts appropriately - the fact that wizards cannot defeat magical creatures has long been a thing of the past."

Avada and Baron looked as usual. After all, they had seen the fighting power of top wizards two years ago. Avada even had the time to explain to Harry and the others while playing with the twins: "We have a level of mental power that surpasses that of most magical creatures, the ability to learn any magic, a complete knowledge system for exploring magic, and A variety of auxiliary disciplines - beasts have no advantage over us except that they look scary."

"Perhaps you will be frightened by the attacks by magical creatures that occur from time to time, but almost all of those attacked were killed due to lack of preparation and sudden events - and the professors have already figured out the characteristics of the basilisk this time , took the initiative again, it’s hard to imagine how to lose.”

Seeing that Harry and the others were in a state of thinking about life, Avada turned back with satisfaction and walked towards the basilisk with Baron and Professor Sprout, while chatting leisurely... …

"By the way, the trick Professor McGonagall just used is similar to what you used on me at the Duel Club?"

"Indeed. Look, even weaklings like us, third graders, were able to dodge the basilisk directly... Professor, if it were you, how would you deal with it?"

"Me? I'll probably use a similar method. This is already the most convenient way."

Professor Sprout smiled: "But if I have to use some personal methods, I will probably use some plant seeds and spores to instantly plant them into the body of the basilisk, and then use magic to instantly activate...such as the devil Is the internet good?"

Avada and Balon shivered together.

"Ouch! Look at these scales!"

On the other side of the basilisk, Professor Kettleburn started to touch it excitedly: "I bet this basilisk must have lived for more than a thousand years!"

"And these two fangs are simply works of art..."

While he manipulated the steel frame to open the basilisk's mouth, he caressed the two big fangs intoxicatedly. He also took out a bunch of bottles and jars to collect the basilisk's venom and saliva, and even took the risk to open the black basilisk's mouth. I cast a magic spell to collect tears...

"Okay everyone."

Dumbledore had to clapped his hands helplessly, making all the professors, including Snape, who were enjoying themselves, stop: "I think it's time to kill it, we have to show it to the whole school. body, but after that you can study it to your heart’s content.”

"……All right."

The professors reluctantly stepped back and stood beside Dumbledore: "How to kill?"

"Don't destroy its body!"

Professor Kettleburn was still pleading: "Destroying the body now will make many specimens incomplete! It is best to leave the body intact, and then Hagrid and I can dissect it... Oh, maybe I can You can invite Newt and Charlie over, they will definitely be excited and crazy..."

His statement was immediately unanimously agreed by the professors - this is an extremely precious research material, and even if it is damaged even a little, it will be enough to make them feel distressed for a long time.

"Um……"

Snape weighed the wand: "How about using that magic..."

"Which one?"

The other professors did not react for a while.

"That's the one……"

Snape quietly pointed at Avada, who was chatting with Balon, and winked wildly, almost making it clear.

"..."

Professors, you looked at me and I looked at you, but in the end they could not resist the temptation of a complete basilisk specimen and nodded through gritted teeth.

"Children, please leave for a moment."

Professor McGonagall turned around and chased people away: "The next scene is not suitable for you to watch."

She waved her hand and drove Avada and the others back to the entrance of the secret room without mercy despite their protests. She also moved the statues of the twins there, and uneasily released a soundproofing magic at the door. Then she stood back He joined the ranks of professors and raised his wand with them...

Harry and the others couldn't hear what the professors were shouting, but they saw six thick green lights hitting the basilisk's head hard, and the body that was still trembling and struggling suddenly became motionless.
