Hogwarts Dances with Dragons

"I have to remind you, Alvin, don't be careless!" Dumbledore's voice sounded from behind: "This should be the snake that shed a long time ago. The adult basilisk should be more than fifty feet long."

"Okay, I admit that I just spoke a little too loudly..." Ivan shrugged, pressing Lockhart and moving forward: "But it's just a little loud, after all, we have Mr. Lockhart who has a lot of adventure experience - "

"You know he's a loser and this will kill him," Moody said gruffly.

"It doesn't matter, Lockhart is not afraid of death." Ivan grinned.

"Actually, I'm afraid..." Lockhart said sarcastically.

"A man who is afraid of death is not a good man!" Alvin said briskly: "Look at the stories written in your book, what a brave and fearless Professor Lockhart!"

Lockhart's face turned red, and when he realized that he was being played by Alvin, he finally couldn't hold it any longer: "Well, books can be deceiving..."

While everyone was bypassing the snake, Lockhart began to describe his deeds in a subtle way. It was an ugly old American wizard who exorcised the werewolves, and it was an old witch with a hairy chin who exorcised the Wanlun female ghost.

Lockhart's own achievement was to extract the specific details of their experiences from these people through inquiring, and then secretly cast a forgetting spell on them...

Moody snorted: "Welcome to Azkaban, Professor Lockhart!"

As soon as the words fell, everyone except Snape burst out laughing, and even Snape had an obvious smile on his face.

Lockhart looked embarrassed, laughed dryly, and walked in front with small steps.

Everyone passed through the tunnel, turned two more turns, and then came to the end of the tunnel.

In front of the wall is a solid wall with two intertwined snake-shaped reliefs carved on it. The eyes of the two snakes are inlaid with large, sparkling green gems.

"Salazar Slytherin's inheritance... you can get a lot of money by picking this thing up." Ivan said casually.

"Let's talk about it after we come out. Who knows what will happen if we pick it off now..." Moody said, looking at Harry: "Mr. Potter, it's up to you."

Harry nodded. He didn't need to think about it this time. The snake pattern embossed on the wall looked basically the same as a real snake.

"Open!"

There was still the hissing sound, and then, the two snakes entangled with each other slowly separated, and the stone wall cracked from the middle, slowly sliding to both sides and disappearing.

Then, a long, dimly lit huge room appeared in front of everyone.

Numerous stone pillars carved with entangled snakes held up the ceiling, casting long and eerie black shadows on the entire room that was filled with green and mysterious atmosphere.

Mysterious, dark.

"Old pervert, if you don't have some mental illness, you can't design such a place in the underworld." Ivan complained casually, raised his foot and kicked the stone pillar aside: "It's quite strong..."

The footsteps of everyone echoed crisply in the room. They reached the last row of stone pillars, and suddenly a giant statue as tall as the room itself appeared in front of them, clinging to the dark wall behind.

He has an old face, a sparse beard, long wizard robes, and thick big feet.

For the first time, everyone saw the true face of the legendary wizard, Salazar Slytherin.

"So... where is the basilisk?" Ivan looked at Lockhart.

Lockhart laughed dryly, and his face became paler. Finally, he twitched comically. He was suddenly shorter and had more freckles on his face.

Ivan's expression changed, and Moody suddenly shouted loudly behind him: "Be careful! The basilisk has been released!"

With that said, he dug out his magic eyes and said to Alvin: "Let him go, this kid is so pitiful!"

Ivan looked at Lockhart, no, it wasn't Lockhart, it was this year's new student in Gryffindor, Colin Creevey!

Ai Wen's face suddenly darkened, his eyes were piercingly cold, and his red eyes flashed with crazy murderous intent.

been played!

Still being tricked by Lockhart!

The most important thing is that this guy also sprayed Colin with his perfume, used his shampoo, and deceived his nose with the rich tulip scent!

"It's amazing..." Dumbledore supported Colin and sighed softly: "I always thought he was only good at forgetting spells, but now it seems that Lockhart is a master at playing with memory."

As he spoke, he flicked his wand, and a ray of silver light flew out of the secret room.

That was his patronus phoenix. Powerful wizards could send messages through the patronus. I think Dumbledore should have sent the patronus to notify Professor McGonagall and others.

Snape looked very ugly. Like Ivan, he couldn't accept being tricked by Lockhart.

"Poor boy..." Professor Flitwick sighed, and came forward to perform a physical examination on Colin: "It was covered with a layer of falsehood... No, that guy was afraid of being betrayed, so he completely transplanted his own real memory. I have also been controlled by the Imperius Curse for several days, but fortunately my memory has not been erased, it just needs some days to recover..."

Snape searched Colin, pulled out a small bottle, opened it, smelled it, and looked at Dumbledore: "Polyjuice Potion."

Dumbledore nodded slightly, and Moody shouted: "Okay, now we are blocked here by the basilisk!"

There was a noise from the direction of the door of the room, as if something huge was slowly swimming on the ground.

"Be careful, everyone." Moody said loudly, holding the wand tightly in his hand: "That thing doesn't look good!"

"I just want to know, where is Lockhart now?" Ivan turned around, his eyes dark and sharp, looking in the direction of the door like a knife.

"At this time, I think he should have left Hogwarts." Dumbledore shook his head and sighed: "Unfortunately, Ivan, we started a little late."

As soon as he finished speaking, next to Dumbledore, Harry suddenly screamed: "Evan! The basilisk's target is you!"

Alvin: "Huh?"

Seeing Ivan's cold gaze, Harry felt a sudden change in his heart and said quickly: "That thing said... kill the little dark wizard..."

"The little dark wizard..." Dumbledore nodded slightly: "The description is very appropriate. Snakes are color blind and cannot judge things through vision. However, your body shape and the aura of dark magic on your body are still very obvious. It seems that Lockhart It’s also a waste of a lot of thought.”

"Ha..." Ivan sneered and strode towards the door of the room.

"Evan!" Harry was a little worried.

"Close your eyes, Harry." Dumbledore said gently: "I believe Mr. Darknight has a full understanding of his own strength."

After the words fell, outside the room, a huge, green snake head stretched out from the secret room, and a pair of big yellow eyes looked straight at Ivan.

Ivan stretched out his hand and tore off a piece of black mist in the air. He raised his hand and stuffed it into his mouth. He strode towards the basilisk, his red eyes flashing with cold murderous intent.

Seeing that Alvin was not affected by his sight, the basilisk suddenly became furious. He raised his huge head and let out a sharp roar from his bloody mouth. The huge snake head suddenly shot towards Alvin.

"Stay out of the way!!!"

Aiwen raised his hand, black and red magic suddenly burst out, raised his hand and punched the basilisk on the head.

Then, there was a sound explosion, and the huge head of the basilisk exploded!

The fire burned, black mist filled the air, and the yellow eyes exploded into blood mist. When everyone came back to their senses, the entire head of the basilisk had disappeared, leaving only a long body lying at the entrance of the secret room. Ivan The back figure also disappeared into the darkness outside the door.

There was a suffocating silence, and Professor Flitwick suddenly looked up at Dumbledore.

"So...Albus, what are we down here for?"

Dumbledore: "..."
