Reborn at Hogwarts
Chapter 119 Snape and McGonagall's Countermeasures
A snake-like twisted shadow suddenly appeared in Ivan's field of vision, and the moment the obscure and hoarse snake language came out, a "rumbling" sound came from the depths of the earth.
Almost without thinking, Ivan knew that something was wrong. He was about to adjust the state of the incarnation and leave the battlefield, but he was shocked to find that the free elements and magic power in the air had been completely frozen at some point.
Can't move!
A strange chill quickly flooded his whole body, and in an instant, a shadow broke out of the ground!
This is a ferocious giant snake, its whole body is green and glowing with the unique radiance of poisonous snakes. Its body was as thick as the trunk of an oak tree, and Ivan's frozen figure was reflected in the huge yellow eyes like light bulbs.
Basilisk...
The name flashed through Ivan's mind.
The monster kept in the Chamber of Secrets by Salazar Slytherin to help his heir clean up those students who are "unworthy of learning magic".
Fifty years ago, it was driven by Tom Riddle to kill "Moaning Myrtle", and she turned into a ghost still haunts the bathroom on the second floor of the castle.
It can see me...it's impossible...it shouldn't be here...the diary has been destroyed by Dumbledore, without the guidance and bewitching of Riddle's soul, who can open the secret room and release the basilisk ?
When Ivan was in a desperate situation because he couldn't change his state, the monster that suddenly rushed out of the water pipe in the bathroom changed the expressions of the three professors who hadn't left yet.
"What kind of monster is this?"
The dean of Gryffindor College, Professor of Transfiguration, McGonagall showed great shock on his always serious face. The hand she was holding the wand unconsciously used strength, and her fingertips were slightly white.
Snape's face was gloomy. The moment he saw the basilisk, he immediately raised his hand, covered his eyes with his sleeve, and pulled Professor McGonagall's arm.
"Basilisk." He said briefly, perhaps without realizing it, his tone was mixed with extreme fear at the moment.
People often say that "the unknown is the most frightening", but in fact, those who know the bottom line but know that they are powerless are the most likely to cause despair.
After hearing Snape's words, Professor McGonagall's face turned pale in an instant. She immediately covered her eyes, turned around quickly, and whispered to Harry, Ron and Hermione who returned following the sound: "Go! Go to Professor Dumbledore!"
The three of them stared dumbfounded at the basilisk that almost filled the entire bathroom, and couldn't help swallowing in unison.
They didn't fully react until Professor McGonagall yelled in a more emphatic tone, and hurried out of the bathroom.
After watching the figures of the three disappear at the end of the corridor and making sure that they would not turn back halfway, Professor McGonagall looked away and nodded to Snape who was looking over.
Although the two often fought because of the relationship between the colleges, they quickly unified their positions in the face of big right and wrong.
This monster must not be allowed to threaten the other students of Hogwarts!
Thinking of this, the two turned their attention to Professor Quirrell.
Although he always looks unreliable on weekdays, after all, Quirrell is also a professor who is qualified to teach students Defense Against the Dark Arts, and it will definitely come in handy at this time.
It was only when they turned their gazes that they discovered in astonishment that at some point, Quirrell had fallen straight to the ground.
Judging by his pale face, he was undoubtedly fainted by fright.
McGonagall and Snape looked at each other.
"Don't worry about him, he won't die." Snape gave Quirrell a cold look.
He looked at the basilisk.
Only then did he realize that they were blindfolded here, and they were directing the students to notify the principal, and they were in a panic.
But the basilisk that appeared suddenly did not notice them at all.
Its upper half was raised high, its big flat head pressed against the ceiling, staring motionlessly at a certain point in the void.
It seems to be confronting something.
This posture has been maintained for some time.
"Our magic doesn't work on the basilisk." Professor McGonagall obviously noticed the abnormality of the basilisk, and whispered, "Its scales—"
"—can bounce the spell. I know." Snape interrupted McGonagall directly, "We're trapping it here."
He winked at Mag, signaling her to pay attention to her surroundings.
Mag followed his line of sight, and his eyes immediately lit up.
When the basilisk rushed out of the ground just now, it caused a huge shock.
As a result, the ground collapsed, and many huge rubbles were scattered all over the place.
Professor McGonagall understood what Snape meant.
"I'll do it," she said immediately.
Before she finished speaking, she raised her hand and waved her wand.
Those scattered huge stones floated together under the traction of the invisible force. While suspended in the air, they quickly "melted" like steel in a smelting furnace, twisting and changing shapes.
Professor McGonagall's wand tapped four times in the air, and the melted rubble immediately rushed to the direction she pointed, and the transformation unfolded again in an instant, four stone pillars rose from the ground, met at the ceiling, and finally merged into one place.
A gabion large enough to trap the basilisk in it took shape in an instant!
When the crisis came, the basilisk finally turned its attention away from the invisible enemy. It looked at the four huge stone pillars that bound itself, let out an angry and hoarse roar, swung its head suddenly, and slammed into the stone pillars in front of it.
boom!
There was a loud bang, and the dust exploded at the moment when the snake's head collided with the stone pillar, blocking the sight of the two professors.
The huge earthquake that followed caused the entire castle to almost shake slightly.
Snape supported the wall with one hand, raised his wand with the other, and pointed to the smoky bathroom.
A gust of wind blasted from the tip of his staff, and disappeared after dispelling the dust in front of him.
After seeing the scene in the bathroom clearly, Snape's pupils narrowed slightly.
The stone pillar hit by the snake's head was covered with fine cracks at this time, and it was about to shatter completely!
And this basilisk was holding its head high, ready to launch its next attack.
The collision between the body and the stone did not seem to bring any pain to it at all.
Seeing this, Snape remained silent, and waved his wand again.
The small pieces of gravel that Mag had not used to make gabions before flew up and quickly filled the gaps between the stone pillars.
"Are you going to seal the cage directly?"
The people around him asked.
Hearing the voice, Snape didn't answer, didn't even turn his body, and waved his wand directly in the direction of the voice.
The next moment, the expected hit sound of the spell did not sound, and the red light sprayed from the tip of his staff seemed to sink into the sea without any waves.
Snape turned abruptly.
A young, handsome, but somewhat sickly pale face appeared in front of him.
Then Snape knew nothing.
In his last moments of unconsciousness, he saw Professor McGonagall lying on the ground with his eyes closed.
No bento. Just comatose.
