Harry Potter: The Grand Arcanist

There was a rush of footsteps in the corridor outside the principal's room, and Snape, wearing a black cloak, slid into the principal's office like a big bat. He glanced at the people inside and said:"The ghosts have checked to make sure all students have gone to the Quidditch pitch to watch the game. Filch has closed the gate to Hogwarts. I think we can get started.""

"I hope I'm not too late. Do you want anything from me?"Lockhart walked into the principal's office with a smile. The other professors turned their heads and stared at him.

"The problem solver has arrived."Snape took a step forward and said first.

"what is the problem?"

"We are discussing how to deal with the basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets. Although the culprit who opened the secret room has been found, we cannot let the basilisk stay in Hogwarts to avoid similar accidents from happening again. said Professor Flitwick sharply.

"I remember what you said. You said it was a pity that you couldn't compete with the monster."Snape stared at Lockhart's stunned expression.���Said,"Now, the opportunity has come. If you think we are in the way, I think Dumbledore will let you handle this matter."

Lockhart looked at several colleagues in stunned silence and said hesitantly:"I......I really never...You may have misunderstood...Also, Dumbledore……"

The Defense Against Dark Arts professor looked at Dumbledore as if he had found a savior. He seemed to have thought of something, and said quickly:"Dumbledore is here. The basilisk hiding in the secret room does not need me to deal with it. He is more powerful than me." Good at dealing with these things."

After saying that, Lockhart nodded again, as if to confirm this matter.

"We need help, Gilderoy! Dumbledore said seriously:"I think with the help of you, the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, we will be more confident to deal with a basilisk." After all, a basilisk that has lived for a thousand years is not easy to deal with. To this end, we also asked Mr. Lannister to help"

"That--then, of course, I'd be happy to help. Lockhart looked around desperately and said with trembling lips:"I-I'll go to my office and get-get ready.""

Now, Lockhart no longer looks handsome. His face does not have the usual smile showing bright teeth. It looks like a sunken chin, a skinny and haggard look, as if he has just suffered a great blow.

"No time, just bring your wand. Snape glanced at Lockhart's embarrassment, snorted coldly, looked at Dumbledore and said,"We have to deal with the basilisk before the end of the Quidditch game, otherwise there will be a lot of trouble.""

Several people followed Dumbledore and left the principal's office, headed towards the corridor outside, and stopped in front of the Room of Requirement.

"Is the basilisk hiding here?"Snape asked doubtfully.

"Most likely, come with me!"Dumbledore stepped forward and passed through the wall opposite the tapestry on the eighth floor where the troll beat Barnabas silly. A very smooth door appeared in front of everyone.

When a few people entered, they appeared in a room that was not In the spacious room, a door could be seen on the wall. There was a snake mark on the door.

Several people looked at Paz, as if waiting for him to open the door to the secret room.

Paz shook his head and said,"I can't." It's not a real Parseltongue. Dead things cannot communicate. Just take it apart by force!"

"Parseltongue, that's what Potter is, let him come and help open this door, we need you to stay in shape for whatever trouble may come next."Snape rejected the suggestion. He knew that Paz used that weird spell, which consumed a lot of people's energy.

"I'm going to the Quidditch pitch to find Potter!" Lockhart volunteered.

"I won't bother you, I'll go now."Professor Snape turned and left after getting Dumbledore's consent.

After a while, Snape Harry appeared in the room.

The savior still looked at everyone in the room with a confused look, and then looked at Dumbledore asked:"Professor Dumbledore, what's the matter?"

"Harry, we need you to help us open this door."Dumbledore said to Harry

"This door? Harry stared at the door on the wall in confusion, then looked at Dumbledore and asked,"How to open this door?""

As he said this, Harry's eyes fell on Paz again. He was a little confused as to why he was here.

"Just use Parseltongue and command the door to open."Paz reminded

"But——"

"Try what Mr. Lannister suggested."Dumbledore said

"All right!"Harry stared at the door, thinking desperately about what happened in the past. He could only speak Parseltongue when facing a real snake.

But facing a snake on the door, Harry was not sure whether he could speak Parseltongue. Exit.

At this moment, Harry stared at the snake on the door, trying to imagine it as a real snake.

"Open." he said.

The stone door remained motionless.

"No, you are speaking human language." Snape reminded,"Use Parseltongue Potter.

Harry was so angry that his nose was twisted. He really wanted to point his finger at Snape's nose and roar,"Do you think you can speak Parseltongue by speaking Parselmouth?""

Unfortunately, Harry didn't dare to do this. He turned his head and looked at the snake again, forcing himself to believe that it was alive.

Unfortunately, he tried several more times, but still failed.

"By the way, get a snake out. Paz looked at Snape and said.

The corner of Snape's mouth twitched twice and thought to himself: Why didn't you tell me earlier?

In this way, he didn't need to go to Potter just now.

You definitely did it on purpose just now. Yeah, it's definitely intentional

"Oolong comes out of the hole."A snake appeared from Snape's wand and landed on the ground, startling Potter.

"Okay, give it a try," Paz reminded.

"Open."Harry looked at the snake and then at the stone door and said.

What he heard was not these words, but a strange hissing sound coming from Harry's mouth.

Suddenly, after a creaking sound, the two-headed snakes on the stone door began to Wander away, the door opens like this

"very good. Snape looked at Harry with strange eyes and said,"Stay outside and don't run around.""

"Wait, Professor."Harry said quickly

"We probably can't take care of you, Harry, just wait outside."Dumbledore reached out and patted Harry on the shoulder and said,"You did a good job."

After that, several people walked into the door one after another. Inside was a downward-facing tube.

Lockhart, who was a little reluctant at first, was also pushed into the tube by Snape and began to slide downward.

After several people After going down, Harry saw a firebird flying towards the door.

Soon, everyone appeared in the secret room again, but the entrance was different.

"It seems that that is another passage in the secret room. No wonder the basilisk can still escape after sealing the one on the second floor."Professor Flitwick muttered, raising his wand to disperse the darkness around him.

"Pay attention to your surroundings and don't stare into the basilisk's eyes, or you may get petrified."Dumbledore reminded._To read the ununderlined version of the novel, please download Feilu Novels
