A Magical Journey Starting at Hogwarts

As the snake language was uttered, the upper part of the pool slowly rose, and the several sinks in the lower part moved forward. The sink facing the crowd sank into the ground, revealing a hole in the center.

The sound of people sucking in cold air came one after another. I don’t know if it was an illusion, but the temperature in the bathroom rose a little.

“Everyone, it seems that we are lucky.” Aaron said excitedly, as if he had seen a large number of magic points waving at him.

Lockhart glanced at the extremely deep hole and immediately took a step back in fear.

"Haha, if we must go down, I suggest we take a long-term view."

"You go down first." Snape said lightly, "I think the famous Gilderoy Lockhart should have the courage to lead the charge!"

"This... I..." Lockhart subconsciously clenched the two roosters and said righteously: "This is not a question of whether to lead the charge, but it is irrational to act rashly before the danger is confirmed."

"That's right, but what we lack most now is time." Aaron said as he walked up to Lockhart, quietly took away the two roosters, and then gently pushed him.

"Ah..."

A high voice suddenly sounded, but it became smaller and smaller.

Aaron carefully pricked up his ears at the entrance of the cave, and only turned around and looked at the people who had not yet recovered after hearing the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground.

"If I heard correctly, this passage is a zigzag pipe, very long, but not dangerous.

If I must use a metaphor, it's a slide, which will safely send people to the bottom."

"Very good analysis." McGonagall said, "But next time, don't use other people to explore the way."

"Professor Lockhart is the teacher of Defense Against the Dark Arts!" Aaron said with a wry smile, "You should have read his book, this is just a small scene."

Snape gave Aaron an appreciative look, "Just jump down, right?"

"That's right."

"I'm the deputy headmaster, I'll go down first." McGonagall said, then looked at the three Gryffindors, "You hurry back to the common room, it's safer there."

"But professor, we..."

"Be obedient, Granger . "Flitwick warned, "It's dangerous down there, we can't let the three kids take risks."

"What about him?" Ron pointed at Aaron unconvinced, "Why can he go with you?"

"With Gaius's ability, he has the power to protect himself." Snape sneered, "But the three of you will just be a drag if you go.

We can't be distracted from taking care of you while we're fighting the basilisk!"

"That... Professor, I think we still have to let Harry Potter go down with us.

Who knows if we need Parseltongue down there?"

Snape frowned slightly, and before he could raise any objections, Harry walked up to McGonagall, acting as if he was ready to die, "Let me go, Professor."

Professor McGonagall nodded with emotion, and even had a little moisture in the corners of her eyes.

"I'm going too." Ron said loudly, "The one who was captured is Ginny Weasley, she is my sister, you have no reason not to let me go."

"Okay, you go too, Miss Granger come with you."

"Professor McGonagall, this is not appropriate!" Snape said unhappily, "We are going to fight, take them with us..."

"They are Gryffindors, I will protect them." Professor McGonagall said directly, with a very firm tone.

In her opinion, this was originally a favorable game. Although it looked more thrilling, they had two natural enemies of the basilisk, which undoubtedly added a weight to the scale of victory.

In this case, it is not a big deal to take three Gryffindors over to broaden their horizons.

Having said that, Professor Snape could not raise any objections, and could only give the three people a look of self-care.

Professor McGonagall walked to the entrance, took a deep breath and jumped down, followed by Flitwick and Sprout.

Snape walked to the entrance, and just as he was about to jump, he thought of something and turned to look at Harry and the other two, "I'll only say this once, it's still not too late to go back now."

After he went down, Aaron turned around and looked at the three people and sighed, "My meaning is similar to Professor Snape's. Except for Harry, you two had better go back and wait for news."

"That's my sister! I must go." Ron said righteously.

Hermione said nothing, but her eyes were more determined than anyone else.

Aaron hesitated for a moment and divided the two roosters in his hand between Ron and Hermione.

"What are you doing?" Ron asked puzzled.

Aaron didn't explain either, he picked up Abe and jumped down.

"Maybe in his eyes, we are too weak!" Hermione said thoughtfully.

Hearing this, Ron was a little angry, but the rooster in his arms gave him a huge sense of security, and he would not throw away the amulet for that little face.

The three looked at each other, walked to the entrance one by one, closed their eyes and jumped down.

They slid forward quickly in the dark and sticky passage, screaming uncontrollably.

After an unknown amount of time, the pipe gradually became flat from steep.

After a buffer period, they slid out of the exit and fell onto an open space.

"It's so dirty." Ron said with disgust.

"It would be fine if it was just dirty." Aaron cast a cleaning spell on himself and said meaningfully, "Friendly reminder, you'd better not look down."

"Fluorescence." Hermione picked up the wand and emitted a bright light, looked at the ground, then screamed in panic, and subconsciously hugged Aaron who was standing next to her.

Because the place where they stood was covered with bones of all kinds of animals, it was creepy.

"I told you not to look down." Aaron didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and cast a cleaning spell on his soiled clothes.

"Ginny."

Ron's face turned pale. He simply couldn't imagine what his sister would look like when she was found.

"Let's go quickly!" said Professor Flitwick. "We don't have time to waste here."

"You're right, finding the girl is the top priority," Lockhart said.

"You go ahead." Snape gave Lockhart a look, "Now is the time to prove your ability. I believe you won't refuse!"

Lockhart pretended to be calm and nodded, and was about to take the cock from Hermione's hand.

But as soon as he walked up to Hermione, a black wand appeared in front of his eyes. Aaron looked at him with a smile and said, "I don't think you, Professor, will steal the amulet from a student!"

Lockhart was dumbfounded. Without these two cocks, it would be a serious question whether his life could be saved.

"This, that..."

"Stop this and that, are the professors here watching?"

Hearing this, Lockhart's heart skipped a beat. Although he was scared to death, he still had to put on a smile and gritted his teeth and said, "Of course not."

"I saw you right, Professor Lockhart." Professor Snape sneered, and then made a gesture of invitation, "Please!"

Lockhart looked at the dark curve, his legs trembling slightly, and he took steps with difficulty.

Through the bend, there is a rugged underground space.

But when everyone looked at the behemoth in front of them, their mouths opened in disbelief.

"Snake skins," Professor Sprout murmured, "These are the skins shed by the basilisk, the best record of its body shape changes in the past thousand years."

"This is not good news." Professor Flitwick carefully pulled out his wand, "The smallest snake slough here is twenty feet long.

The largest one is probably fifty or sixty feet tall! "

"Don't worry, Professor Flitwick." Professor Snape said with a sinister smile, "We have Gilderoy Lockhart here, and a mere basilisk is definitely a piece of cake for him.

With him taking the lead, all problems are no problem, right? Professor Lockhart? "

Lockhart didn't answer when he heard this, but his cheeks kept twitching and he cursed in his heart.

Didn’t I just pretend to be in front of you a few times? As for tricking me to this extent?

Normally he would have shamelessly acknowledged this vanity, but now he just wanted a life-saving rooster.

But when he turned around inadvertently, he saw that Harry, Ron, and Hermione, as well as the two cocks in their hands, were protected by Professor McGonagall. They didn't give them any chance to make a move!

In desperation, Lockhart rolled his eyes and fell backward.

Pretending to be stunned, the most versatile way to solve a problem is to hand it over to someone who can solve it.

"Professor." Hermione was shocked. She wanted to go over and have a look but was stopped by Professor McGonagall. "Don't run around. Lockhart just fainted."

"Oh my!" Snape said disdainfully, "It seems that our Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is not as powerful as he boasted. He just didn't want to be the first to say something. Why did he faint!"

Lockhart: ...

Do I dare to refuse you with your fierce look?

"Leave it to me." Aaron volunteered, then walked up to Lockhart and pointed his wand at his face, "Clear spring like water."

The cold water was splashed directly on Lockhart's face, but his acting skills were excellent and he didn't even move, let alone open his eyes.

"Fuck!" Aaron's eyes widened and he patted Lockhart's left cheek, "You are considered a talent.

Being a teacher is really a waste of talent. You should become an actor, or even an undercover agent. "

"Aaron, isn't it nice of you to be like this?" Hermione said unbearably. She still had some illusions about Lockhart, after all, he was one of the figures she admired.

"Alas!" Aaron sighed and put away the wand in his hand.

When Hermione saw this, a smile appeared on her face, and Lockhart, who was lying on the ground, also breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the next moment, Lockhart was slapped on the face. He cried out in pain and got up from the ground.

"you..."

"You're welcome, that's how some Muggles save people.

Professor Lockhart, you are my mentor and friend, and a beacon of life. How can I bear to leave you here alone! Aaron said with a smile, and then pointed to the ridiculous road blocked by the snake's slough, "Now that I'm awake, I'll leave it to you to take the lead. You shouldn't refuse!" "
