The Extraordinary Apothecary at Hogwarts

The basilisk's eyes were open and empty. After molting, its blind eyes turned into two turbid and useless earth-yellow spheres, like river water filled with sand.

Its temper became even more violent after it became blind, and it became hostile to the sounds around it.

Harry's irregular footsteps echoed in the empty room, and the basilisk approached violently, its heavy body sliding on the wet ground.

It heard the sound of splashing water. When Harry retreated with his eyes closed, he stepped in the air and fell into the water. He quickly climbed out, but was already locked in the direction of the basilisk. The huge snake head rushed towards him. Harry shouted according to this giant monster. The voice dodges quickly.

As soon as he got out of the way, there was a loud bang and rubble was thrown out of the place where he was standing.

Fox then dived quickly, knocking away Harry who had escaped from the basilisk's attack. The sharp explosion grazed Harry's ears and flew over, hitting the wall behind him.

Eugenie's hand was released, and she immediately raised her wand to defend herself. At the same time, her shoulders were clasped, and her whole body was pulled closer. Although it was not easy to see the human form under the illusion spell, she could feel the waves coming from her shoulders and sides. temperature.

Crazy cracks chased Harry like a machine gun. Harry ran in a zigzag to dodge, and took a breather behind a stone pillar, which was also blown apart.

The furious basilisk swung its tail manically, and Eugenie quietly blocked Ron and Hermione with a hemispherical iron armor spell. The snake's tail and the broken stones hit the barrier and changed its direction. The barrier made an inconspicuous sound when it was hit. of light.

Riddle slowly approached with his wand raised, not taking any time to notice anything strange behind him.

His eyes were always fixed on Harry, with a strange, crazy red light shining in his eyes. He used Harry's wand to send out thunderbolt explosion spells one after another. Fortunately, his magic power had not yet recovered enough to throw out the big gnaws at will. The point of melon.

His attack pointed the direction for the blind basilisk. Spells and snake heads were bombarded in turn like bullets and artillery fire. Harry was almost unable to escape several times but was saved by Fox's well-timed dive.

But Harry's pace became unsteady, and multiple close-range explosions burned his body. Eugenie saw several broken stones with sharp edges penetrated Harry's pants during the impact of the explosion. legs.

Blood continued to seep out along the wound. The black school uniform covered up the bright red color, and the pants only became wet, clinging to the legs and becoming heavier.

The pursuit lasted for several long minutes. The explosion stopped. The basilisk suddenly lost its voice guidance and was dazed for two seconds. It was used to the strong vibration of the explosion. It could no longer feel the sound of footsteps. The basilisk angrily launched indiscriminate attacks in all directions.

Its behavior was quickly stopped by Riddle. Eugenie rubbed her ears and heard a hissing snake language coming from Riddle's mouth that made people's hair stand on end.

The basilisk turned.

"No!" Harry didn't care to close his eyes. He understood Riddle's instructions, and Ron's wand crackled with sparks in his hand - it still couldn't be used. "Save them!" Harry Shouted to Phoenix, he grabbed the brim of the hat with his other hand and pushed the Sorting Hat down, trying to make it hear the voice in his head.

Save Ron and Hermione!

"The game of snake and mouse is over, Harry Potter, come and say goodbye to your friends." Riddle lost his patience and finally said to Harry in human language, "You have to choose to leave them and run away alone. Is that so? Your friends will use their lives to buy you some pitiful time. Don’t live up to their kindness, Harry."

Eugenie's eyes widened. She saw that her iron armor spell had been erased, and the scattered stones around her had also returned to chaos at some point, no longer taking on the form blocked by a circle.

Dumbledore was pushing her arm down to lower her wand.

"No!" Harry hurriedly ran back, his heart beating desperately but his chest was so compressed that he could hardly breathe.

Ron and Hermione were caught in the snake's tail and lifted into the air. The basilisk opened its mouth, revealing its sword-long fangs - the fangs had grown back after the last fight.

Harry found that he had completely forgotten to avoid looking directly into the snake's eyes, but he saw that there were only a pair of cloudy orbs in the large eye sockets.

He looked down at himself and saw that his soul had not been lifted up like Myrtle said. He was still in his body intact.

Harry shouted to Riddle with hatred, "Your target is me, Voldemort. Haven't you always wanted to kill me? Haven't you been unable to kill me? Come on, try again, come at me!"

Let them go!

Ron and Hermione were involved, and he was supposed to face Voldemort alone - just like last year, face alone the dark wizard who had taken the lives of his parents, and many innocent lives.

Even if he is destined to die here today, he must try his best to stop Voldemort.

He rolled up his sleeves and prepared to use the method he used to deal with Quirrell to put Voldemort into pain again.

He was about to charge forward, and Riddle also expected what he was thinking now.

Bang!

Riddle hasn't taken action yet;

Harry was blinded by the sudden unknown attack.

Something metal fell on his head.

Harry took off his hat dazedly and grabbed the cold object.

A metal rolling pin?

Oh, it's a gleaming silver sword set with rubies.

There were fewer stars in Harry's eyes, and he could finally see them clearly.

Fortunately, the sword hilt hit him on the head.

Eugenie finally breathed out, and she felt the stiff hand on her shoulder loosen.

Riddle's expression was twisted, and he said something in Parselang again, and a more intense light shot out from the tip of the wand, but Harry nimbly dodged it.

Fox launched attack after attack to fight with Riddle, interfering with his ability to use spells on Harry.

Harry rushed towards the basilisk with his sword and slashed at the snake's tail that was entangled with Ron and Hermione.

The scales are too thick.

The sword hit the scales, making a hard collision sound.

The basilisk was enraged and opened its mouth wide enough to swallow Harry, its fangs and sword gleaming with cold light.

Without hesitation, Harry thrust the sword into the upper jaw of the basilisk. The blade of the sword completely penetrated the huge head, and the fangs dug into his arm.

He pulled out the fangs while the basilisk was writhing in pain. His vision was blurred, and he could only use his remaining strength to protect Ron and Hermione who fell to the ground behind their thin bodies.

He glanced at them one last time. It was lucky they hadn't been crushed by the basilisk's roll.

They're fine.

Great, the colors in front of his eyes were quickly leaving, and Fox's singing was getting further and further away.

Eugenie put down her wand and watched with trepidation as they ushered in victory.
