This Hogwarts is not normal

The first person to know of the basilisk's arrival was Aragog, who stayed in his lair.

Fifty years ago, when it was only the size of Hagrid's palm, it already knew that Hogwarts Castle had its natural enemies.

"Run away, Mossag——"

It turned its back to its bristle-bristled wife and said, "Take the children and leave the territory and go in the direction of the castle."

Mosag raised his big head, "What about you? Ever since that ghost stepped into our territory, I have felt instinctive fear."

"I am old and no longer have the strength to escape with you." Aragog turned around, his eight big gray eyes full of sadness,

"If you see Hagrid, remember to thank him for me and thank him for the help he has given to our tribe over the past fifty years."

"Aragog—"

"Let's go, Mosag, take the children and leave here."

The reluctance in Mosag's eyes became firmer.

It wants to survive, take its children away from terrible natural enemies, and find a new land to continue living.

After Aragog finished his last words, he lay quietly on the ground.

Until Mosag walked out of the nest, it slowly closed its eight big eyes.

It is impossible not to be afraid of the basilisk, but it is the leader of the entire group, and it is also an old leader.

Mingyuan has decided that it cannot leave here, leave this forbidden forest where it has lived all its life.

…

…

McGonagall and Flitwick's judgment was correct. The Acromantula tribe came out in full force, all of them scattered forward and fled.

The vacant space in that section is where the two of them are, and it is also the direction in which the basilisk is heading.

"We have chosen a good place." Mag recalled the wooden giant who was distracted.

There was movement in the smoke ahead, and the basilisk was very close to them.

Flitwick waved his wand and created a barrier in front of him, "Minerva, we are very lucky."

If the basilisk didn't shed its skin, it would be quite troublesome for them to deal with it.

Its strong scales can protect against physical and magical damage, and its large size allows it to move flexibly in the Forbidden Forest.

The only things that can be called dangerous now are eyes and venom.

But the black smoke drifted over and mixed with the original smoke.

The only thing the two of them need to watch out for is venom.

"Hiss——"

"It's coming." Mag asked the two wooden giants at the front to stretch out their hands.

Flitwick looked at the castle that was lit up a little in the distance, "Minerva, it seems you don't need to activate that magic anymore."

"Yes." McGonagall had some regrets on her face, but she was more pleased, "This idea is not Pomona's style. Could it be that Albus is back?"

"Maybe Vincent."

"Probably not." The corners of her mouth raised slightly, "The reason for that person's return is different from last year. Even with Severus here, the time needed will not be so short."

"They have grown up." Flitwick was a little bit resentful in addition to being happy.

It would be nice if there were six little ones plus an eaglet.

His mood did not remain depressed for long, because a giant outline could be vaguely seen in the smoke ahead.

…

The principal's office on the eighth floor.

There has been a stalemate here for more than ten minutes.

Tom's body didn't move, and he only looked towards the noisy door.

He asked the basilisk to lure away the professors in order to take away the Sword of Gryffindor.

The movement outside can only mean one thing, that is, the students have woken up.

There's no way of knowing why, but the situation is pretty dire.

"Harry Potter, why don't we sit down and talk.

You can put the weapon just now on my neck, so you don't have to worry about me picking up the wand, right?"

Of course Vincent knew that this was a test to see if there was anyone else here.

Snape also knew it, and neither of them had any intention of paying attention to Tom.

If you agree, there is still someone there; if you don't agree, there is no one.

But no matter what the result is, Tom will not choose to believe it.

"I can give you a chance, Harry Potter—"

His expression was very kind, without any of the ferocity unique to dark wizards, "If the two of us join forces, conquering the world will not be a problem."

There is no use in bewitching, especially for Vincent.

Compared with conquering the world, changing the world is more difficult and the sense of accomplishment is greater.

"I know you care about the fact that my parents were killed by me, but I have a way to resurrect them."

"Da——" A crisp step sounded in the silent principal's office.

Tom's dark eyes swept over.

On the left front, less than one meter away.

"I can do many incredible things, and resurrection is just the least of them."

He took a tentative step and said, "James Potter, right? He is your father."

Snape was trembling all over under the Disillusionment Curse.

"And your mother, Lily Potter."

Vincent had to admire Tom's insight.

The only person who can hide under the nose of a master of Legilimency is a master of Occlumency.

If Dumbledore were here, there would definitely not be a stalemate like this.

So if there are others, they can only be the gold medal undercovers who will be regarded as traitors.

But according to Snape's impeccable character, Tom with a nose would never know about the little things between him and Harry's parents.

"Harry Potter, I can reunite your family and let you have again—"

"Stop talking!" Snape raised his wand and lit up a bright light that could not be hidden.

Tom quickly lay down on the ground, the triumphant smile on his lips unable to be hidden.

With a "bang" sound, Vincent was very suddenly knocked away by a powerful coma spell.

He almost knocked the entire large round table apart, and the phantom spell covering his body became ineffective.

"It's really two people." Tom picked up the wand and blocked the oncoming spells one by one.

"Anger is a good emotion." He pointed his right hand holding the wand at Snape, showing a particularly cruel smile.

"It can help me find the enemy's weaknesses and help me gain the final victory - Expelliarmus!"

In a rage, Snape slammed into the wall under the headmaster's portrait, and his wand flew into the air.

Tom caught it firmly and quickly turned sideways.

The same bat helmet, the only difference is the clothes.

If Vincent was a professional, Snape looked particularly amateurish.

"Harry Potter, we can talk now."

He pointed his wand at the two of them one after the other, and showed an expression that was true when he saw the sword of Gryffindor.

Although I don't know why, it can indeed cause harm to the soul.

Vincent, whose head was dizzy, never let go of his hands holding the sword.

Compared with Snape's gritted teeth expression, he became more and more confused about the wand pointed at him.

The 9-inch cherry wood has a particularly exquisite appearance and is a top-quality product that is expensive to make.

And it looked very familiar, as if I had seen it somewhere before.

Yesterday? No, it’s tonight!

The wand in Tom's hand actually belongs to Lockhart!
