This Hogwarts isn't normal.

The first recorded basilisk in history was bred by the dastardly Herbo. ♜ ♦ ♗♦

He is one of the earliest known Dark wizards and one of the earliest Parseltongues.

He lived in ancient Greece BC, more than two thousand years ago.

The Sorting Hat talked a lot with Vincent.

Including the origin of the despicable title, as well as some evil curses invented by Haierbo.

Of course, the most important thing at the moment is the information about the basilisk.

There are two basilisks that have lived beyond their life span:

One is the first one bred by Haierbo;

Second, only one Salazar Slytherin can survive forever, the one currently staying in the secret room of the castle.

The way to reach the life limit is very simple, which is to use Parseltongue to control it and let it enter a state of deep sleep.

The body cannot continue to grow, which is similar to suspended animation. It is not a problem to easily live for 900 years.

In addition to being instantly lethal with its gaze, the basilisk's venom can also kill a person within minutes.

The venom, which has a long-lasting effect that leaves people dazed, blurred vision and hallucinations before death, luckily has an antidote.

Although there is only one kind, the difficulty of obtaining it is basically zero for Vincent.

"Mr. Hat, does it have any weaknesses?"

The brim of the Sorting Hat hung down on his head, as if he was trying to find some particularly distant memories.

"I remembered!

Whether they are males with red feathers on their heads or females without, they are particularly afraid of the crowing of roosters! "

Obtaining a rooster was easier, and Hagrid kept several outside the cabin.

Even if not, it would not be difficult to write home and send one.

But time is limited now, and the person who opens the secret room will most likely not wait until tomorrow.

"Let's split up!"

"ah?"

From the perspective of the other five people, he just stood suddenly at the corner of the corridor, talking to himself for a few minutes, and then turned around and said something very suddenly.

"There's no time to explain, we have to make all preparations as soon as possible!"

Judging from his anxious expression, all five of them knew that the Sorting Hat must have said something very important.

"Fred, you and George go get the map together, and then keep an eye on the third floor to see who goes into the girls' bathroom.

Rolf, you go to Hagrid's place and bring some roosters - you'd better go with Hermione, I'm afraid he'll drive you away. "

"How is that possible!" Mrs. Luo said innocently, "I have never entered the Forbidden Forest this semester!"

"It's just a precautionary measure." Vincent looked at Cedric, "Ced, go ask Professor Sprout for some mandrakes."

"If you don't go, you won't go even to death!" Cedric shook his head crazily.

"Use your charm?"

"The key is not mature yet. 是x̸͍̘̳͂͊̂̊̀͊̕͘.̷̹̦̆̆c̶͙͈͚̽̄̈̎̒͜ó̶̧̧̝̳̠͇͕̺̲̹̔̈́̃͝͝m̷̗͓̽̂̌̋̃̌" "

Vincent paused, "Then go to the second floor and ask Madam Pomfrey for some potion to relieve petrification?"

"this--"

"That's it!" He turned to the left corner of the corridor and walked quickly towards the Gryffindor dormitory.

"Wait! What are you doing back?"

“Making lenses with extremely low point transmittance.”

Time is tight and the task is heavy.

Fred and George had been staring at the situation on the third floor since they opened the Marauder's Map.

No one entered the girls' bathroom, and Lockhart was the only one on the entire floor who was in his office.

There is also a potion to relieve petrification, but Cedric is not in a good mood.

Vincent managed to make six pairs of anti-basilisk lenses, and made a few more as spares.

Although the light transmittance has not been tested, at least the potion will not cause instant death.

It's just that Hermione and Rolf had a little problem.

When they got to the hut, Hagrid was crying and giving a funeral to his chickens.

"Let's go to the fourth floor first." Vincent handed out black-rimmed glasses with lenses to them.

The biggest killer weapon is gone, and the venom problem will be difficult to solve.

And the timing is very coincidental, it just so happens that Dumbledore is not here tonight.

"He will definitely appear." As soon as Hermione put on her glasses, the straight ear pads extended upward and turned into two small sharp corners.

"Miss Catwoman?" The glasses worn by Fred and George turned into eye patches.

Cedric shook his glasses in disgust, "Is this disguise useful for noseless Tom?"

Vincent tapped his school robe with his wand, "Although he is a master of Legilimency, he can still make you sick."

"Awesome!" Rolf gave a thumbs up, "If I were Tom, I might have been driven crazy by you on the spot."

George pursed his lips and held the wand, "He would have gone crazy, otherwise he would not have returned to Hogwarts again."

"Oh -" Cedric sneered and put on his glasses, "I am the one who suffers the most every time, you bunch of bad friends!"

"What the hell." George smirked and turned his school robe into a Robin uniform, "It's all your dad's fault."

Cedric gritted his teeth and glared at Vincent, "I also have a pretty butt, so why not——"

"First come, first served!" George quickly pointed the wand at his school robe.

Compared with the title of "big boy", it is more comfortable to have a "big butt".

Hermione thought about it seriously, and the rejection in her heart suddenly decreased sharply.

When they were ready, there was still no movement on the third floor below.

"The students have all gone back."

"It's already curfew time."

"It's one in the morning, why not go to the kitchen first?"

As soon as Fred made a suggestion, Filch and Mrs. Norris patrolled to the third floor.

"Is it this old guy?"

"Don't be joking." Cedric became serious, "He is just a little jealous of us, not to the point of being killed by the basilisk."

"I'll go down and take a look." Vincent opened the window. "If a third party comes over, there is a high probability that even Lockhart will be that person."

"You want to protect Filch?" George nodded matter-of-factly after being surprised.

"That's right. If another victim appears, Hogwarts may be closed for a period of time."

"Ced is right," Vincent tied the rope. "Those are two living lives. I can't just watch them leave."

"Same for us." Hermione stepped forward, "If Tom fell to the ground because he knew that Professor Dumbledore was not here, then he would not simply end it."

"Agreed." Rolf and Cedric also stepped forward.

Fred and George looked at each other:

"Okay, we're both bad guys."

Vincent shook his head, "No matter how annoying Filch is, he will always be a part of our Hogwarts family."

He stretched out his hand and put on the rope, "I don't care about the reason why Voldemort comes back. I only know that if he dares to appear once, I will dare to drive him away once."

"That's right!" Fred and George put away their usual playful smiles, "No matter how scary Voldemort is, that's in the past!"

A soul that has lost almost all its power really has nothing to fear.
