The Magical Principles of Natural Philosophy at Hogwarts

The giant snake's body and head were separated, and almost instantly, its body made a sizzling sound, and quickly shriveled up. Its flesh and blood were melting, forming disgusting pus that flowed out from the wound.

After more than ten seconds, there was only a huge bone wrapped in snakeskin left.

"It should contain highly corrosive and highly poisonous substances all over its body," Melanie walked over and said, "After the head was severed, these highly toxic substances got out of control."

Erwin felt a little pity, the flesh and internal organs of the basilisk should be quite good materials.

The first thing to do after a fight is naturally to count the loot, and it's not as simple as crouching down and touching a glowing corpse.

Erwin cut open the snake's skin with the invisible blade, and then carefully removed the pus attached to the snake's skin and bones with a cleaning spell, which was delicate and time-consuming.

Melanie squatted down, hugged her knees and watched Erwin busy with interest.

"You just look at it like this?" Erwin glanced at her.

"Then what can I do? Help you rub your shoulders or something?" Melanie was about to post it.

"No need." Erwin immediately raised his hand to refuse.

This woman really can't help much now, Erwin looked at Ginny who was paralyzed on the ground, "How is her condition?"

"It's just fainting, it's not life-threatening."

After processing the body, the next step is the snake head embedded in the floor tiles.Quasimodo picked up the cross and smashed the incredibly hard floor tiles around, so that Erwin could pry the snake's head out.

Disappointingly, the basilisk's most valuable organ, the eyes, had been reduced to a mixture of meat paste and lens.Although it can show a terrifying instant death effect, the eyeball itself is difficult to be strengthened like a muscle, so when the entire snake head bears Quasimodo's heavy blow, the force is transmitted to the eyeball and shatters it directly.

What is left of value is the skull, brain, poison glands, and snake teeth.

Before it is fully unfolded, the LeMay Cabin looks like a black cube, which can function as a portable storage, but it cannot ignore the collision of objects when storing or taking it out, that is, if you want to take out or put in items, The cube must be expanded to a size that will accommodate it.

Erwin made it expand to a length of five meters, and then ordered Quasimodo to return to it with the spoils that had been processed, and Esmeralda would store these things in the warehouse in the most appropriate way.

Melanie lifted her fair chin, "Your things are really convenient, damn it, why can't I meet a master alchemist who is about to die and has to distribute the inheritance?"

Erwin didn't talk to him, watched Quasimodo's back disappear, and then shrunk the cube down to the point where he could hold it with one hand. "Compared with Quasimodo in full body, who is more powerful?" he asked suddenly.

Melanie froze for a moment. "His speed is too slow," she said.

"That means you can't match your offensive ability and resistance to blows, right?" Erwin automatically translated.

"Yes." Melanie kept smiling.

Ginny woke up Yoyo at this time, Erwin and Melanie immediately stopped talking, and Qi Qi looked at her.

The little red-haired girl was at a loss, and then burst into tears immediately, "I'm sorry, Mr. Erwin, I don't want to hurt you, it's that guy..."

Although it is not as good as a vampire like Melanie who has the ability to pinch her own face, Ginny is still quite cute. It is not a problem to crush Miss Nutria in terms of appearance, and the way she cries is very inspiring to others compassion.

"Which guy?" Erwin asked calmly.

"This." It was Melanie who answered.She pointed to the diary on the ground over there, "Be careful, there is a soul on the facade."

Since the armor ring was damaged, Erwin first cast the armor protection spell on himself carefully, and then picked up the diary. It felt cold in his hand, and it looked nothing special from the outside, so he opened it, It was found that a line of words appeared on the blank page:

"Ginny? Hurry up and accept me again, only I can control that basilisk, these two people have discovered your secret, you must get rid of them..."

Erwin's face suddenly became a little playful, "This soul usually communicates with you through text?"

Ginny nodded timidly, her tears still wet.

"It's really low-level, and he doesn't even have the ability to perceive the outside world, so he doesn't know the current situation." Erwin shook his head slightly. "I think you should have completely opened up your heart to him, so you will be controlled by him?"

This guy is just to the extent of cheating a little girl.Only the innocent Ginny would foolishly expose her soul to him.

Ginny nodded again, "He said his name was Tom, and he was also a student at Hogwarts."

Tom?The name is a bit too generic, but since it can speak Parseltongue and can open the chamber to control the basilisk, it's a bit too obvious.

There are not too many books on Voldemort in the past ten years, and people are eager to know where such a Dark Lord came from.Excluding the false information that was made up and spread, at least his real name is no longer a secret. 33 Novel Network

Tom Marvolo Riddle.

Whether this diary is related to the most powerful dark wizard in Britain in the past 50 years is not the time to study it.Erwin closed the diary, "Where did you get this?"

This is a very crucial question.

"I found it in my Transfiguration textbook. I don't know who put it in there." Ginny was a little dazed.

"The specific time?"

"I found it the first time I opened the book after I bought it in Diagon Alley."

"So, who did you meet from the time you bought the book at Lihen Bookstore to when you came home?" Erwin looked directly into the girl's eyes.

Ginny named some Diagon Alley clerks and little wizards, and finally mentioned a name, Lucius Malfoy.

"That's Drago Malfoy's father. Dad had a bad fight with him in the bookstore." Ginny stopped suddenly, her face paled, "It was him, he must have put the diary in my textbook inside."

"A very direct inference." Erwin nodded slightly.

The Malfoy family?It's kind of interesting.

He put his hand on Ginny's shoulder, and could feel the little girl's thin body trembling slightly.

"Don't be afraid, you are safe, and no one will blame you." His tone was very gentle, and the temperature of his palm was very warm.

Ginny's mood actually calmed down, and there was a trace of gratitude in her eyes looking at Erwin.

It doesn't matter whether this little girl is completely controlled or not, and how much of her will was involved in the previous actions. "Leave this diary to me for safekeeping. I will hand it over to Professor Dumbledore tomorrow. You should have no objection?"

Ginny nodded.

"Then what happened tonight, including the existence of the Basilisk and the Chamber of Secrets, is not suitable for public announcement, so we should all keep it a secret, what do you think?" Erwin tried to persuade.

Ginny has no reason not to agree.

"Finally, I hope you can forgive Melanie, she is not really bullying you, everything is just to help you get rid of the control of this diary."

Ginny glanced at Melanie, her face was still a little unnatural, and the latter smiled sweetly.

"Then, it's getting late, let's get out of here, you should go back and rest."

Coax Ginny well and send her back to the dormitory, but Erwin has no plans to fall asleep.

How could he sleep.

He didn't let Melanie follow him, and stepped into the Forbidden Forest by night to the familiar open space. Erwin fully unfolded the Flamel Cabin and walked in.

What should he do now?Dealing with the basilisk's head?Study that diary?Or check whether Quasimodo has suffered any damage?No, the first thing he has to do now is to recreate a ring of armor.

The battle with the basilisk has clearly demonstrated the superiority of permanent armor protection.

When dawn came, Erwin stopped working. This time he made two rings at once, and the third one was more than half finished.

Since it is easy to break, prepare several more, which is the same as preparing several spare wands.

Back at Hogwarts Castle, Erwin took the diary to the headmaster's office. After all, it was related to a basilisk hidden in Hogwarts, and it was obviously inappropriate to conceal it.

But he found that Professor Dumbledore was not in school again.

"When will the principal come back?" He found Professor McGonagall and asked,

"I can't give you any confidence either, Professor Dumbledore has a lot of important things to do."

Looking at Professor McGonagall's stern face, Erwin hesitated for a while, and finally didn't tell her the situation, because that would require explaining how he defeated a basilisk.As for Quasimodo, Flame House, and his blood, the fewer people who know about it, the better.

At lunchtime, Gilderoy Lockhart had a Gryffindor senior send Erwin a text message saying that what he wanted was ready.

"Got it." Erwin said.

The door of the office of Defense Against the Dark Arts was half ajar, and Erwin didn't intend to knock on the door, so he just pushed the door and went in.

What I saw was the huge portrait of Lockhart, and it was still his portrait when I glanced at it. The portraits all over the wall are really a bit mentally polluted.

Erwin couldn't help being a little distracted.

At this time, a loud shout came from behind him, "Forget everything!"

The beam of light formed by the Oblivion Charm hit Erwin, and then triggered the armor protection with a bang, and was bounced to Lockhart's feet. He jumped up in fright, his face turned ashen.

"So, you hid in the closet and used such a clumsy method to cast an oblivion curse on me?" Erwin turned around slowly, his eyes indifferent.

He took out his wand at a slow but oppressive speed, and when he pointed at Lockhart, whose complexion was getting paler and paler, the man's wand flew out immediately, and in the second second, his whole body flew away Go out and stick it on his portrait.

"Unfortunately, you miscalculated."

Erwin raised his wand, and the door closed automatically behind him.
