HP in the name of Slytherin

"Lily!" James rushed forward without thinking and could only grab Lily's hood.

Everything happened so fast that no one could react, except Catherine, who already knew the bad taste of this female ghost through Myrtle's memory, and also knew the time when she usually appeared.

All you need to do is ask Dumbledore to let the professor on night watch go out a few minutes later. After calculating the route, you can "accidentally" send the Gryffindors into the women's bathroom.

If they were more careful in the future, or decided to go to Dumbledore earlier, there would be no accidents.

The only fault is that a few lion cubs were cautious when they should have been curious and waited a little longer before coming out to check. They were too curious when they should be cautious. They were so close to the entrance of the cave and would definitely fall down if they were not careful.

James, Sirius, and even Remus had completely disappeared from the entrance of the cave, and now only Severus was left on the ground, struggling to hold himself up until his face turned red.

... He rushed up when he saw Monica waving her arms. His original intention was to pull Lily away. He didn't expect Lily to fall down so quickly. Only James grabbed the hood of her wizard robe.

Seeing James rushing towards him, Sirius also grabbed James' hand, causing James to be dragged down by Lily. James was holding Lily's hat with one hand, and Sirius was pulling him with the other, but Sirius couldn't hold on to either one. There was a large group of people below, but Remus, who was holding him, was taken down with them.

"Lily—" Severus really used all his strength to pull the person up.

But it's no use at all.

He felt Remus' arm sliding downward.

Lily's neck was caught by the button of the wizard's robe. When she raised her head, she wouldn't be suffocated, but her voice was buzzing: "Sev... my shoe is about to fall off, Mary, grab my ankle! My wand has fallen off. …”

It was too dark down there, and the moonlight couldn't shine through at all. Severus could only vaguely see a bit of red, but he couldn't tell whether it was Gryffindor's tie or Lily's hair.

Myrtle realized she was in trouble, muttered "I'm going to find the professor" and flew away. Looking at the direction, she was indeed looking for Dumbledore.

Severus didn't have time to take out his wand, and because of the various spells in his head, he couldn't cast them without a wand because of his confused thoughts.

What's worse is that he is also sliding down. If he doesn't let go, he will be dragged down soon.

Suddenly, the strength in my hand relaxed a lot...

"Sev, go find the professor!" Lily yelled as her voice faded away.

Severus opened his eyes wide and kept doing nothing amidst Potter's noisy shouts. He pretended that all his strength was exhausted and slid down with everyone.

He vaguely guessed that maybe his performance was also what Catherine had expected...

The little lions of Gryffindor have all performed their tricks to this point, just to gain favor, and adding Severus would be no problem.

If he wants to continue to be friends with Lily, it's best not to have too stiff a relationship with Lily's friends all the time, otherwise it will be difficult for Lily too.

Catherine slowly came out after everyone fell, accompanied by Dumbledore with Fawkes the Phoenix.

"Ask Fawkes to accompany you down, Catherine," Dumbledore said with a complicated expression, "otherwise it will not be easy for you to bring them up yourself."

The passage was cleaned again when Haierbo passed by - the enlarged basilisk wrapped itself cleanly inside, and the fine gravel and bumps were crushed by the hard scales. There was no danger for a few people to fall in. , it was just too long and terrible, and the screams rang all the way.

Catherine did not refuse Dumbledore's kindness, "Indeed, they may not like snakes in the future."

Dumbledore's mouth twitched. He had also seen the series of changes just now. He couldn't blame Catherine for not following along. "Growth always requires some price."

It was rare to see the calm Dumbledore look like he was embarrassed. Catherine smiled and comforted him, "Don't worry, it's just a little adventure game."

When the screams disappeared, Catherine grabbed Fox's paw and flew down.

This speed is much faster than when she uses the levitating spell. Of course, the fastest ones are the ones that go down the slide.

The disappearance of the screams was not because they had reached the bottom, but because they gradually realized that it was not that scary. Instead of screaming all the way and causing unknown awareness below, it was better to think of ways to slow down the impact of the final landing.

Severus got angry when he saw some Gryffindors looking confused. He was too far away from Lily, and he would not be happy if he was asked to use a shock-absorbing spell to catch some Gryffindor boys. He thought that Catherine had no choice but to go down. There won't be any danger.

Sure enough, at the end of the passage was a pit made of fine powder. Falling down would not hurt at all except for the dust raised.

Severus raised his hand and crushed it carefully, finding that it was crushed animal bone.

...It seems that Haierbo's journey has been really hard.

He raised his head, looked at the guarded Gryffindors in front of him, and stood up with a sneer, "If I were you, at least I would not pull out the wand for someone who helped me."

Remus coughed dryly and pushed James.

James' glasses were crooked and there was a lot of powder stuck to his bird's nest head. Without caring about his image, he just asked Severus, "Did you come with Slytherin?!"

Severus snorted coldly, not even bothering to look at him, and asked Lily, "Are you not hurt?"

"No," Lily's hair was messed up, and two buttons of her wizard robe were torn off. She walked to Severus, her eyes sparkling, "Is Severus here to see me? Have you seen Catherine?"

Severus coughed dryly and wanted to skip the topic. It just so happened that Remus didn't want the atmosphere to be so tense. He still remembered that Severus held his hand tightly. The strength was irresistible. He really wanted to save him. Their.

"Let's find a way out quickly, or wait here for the professors?" he asked everyone.

Lily was about to say that she had contacted Catherine, but Severus suddenly interrupted her, "There is something in her hair."

As he spoke, he started to help her with her hair, which made Lily feel like a sloppy little girl and her face turned slightly red.

The atmosphere that they grew up with cannot be penetrated by others. James puffed up his cheeks and looked up at the place where they fell, "There is no way to get up from here."

"You may need to go here next to it." Sirius pointed to the horizontal passage that everyone could ignore.

"Is this where Miss Slytherin's basilisk entered..." Mary whispered.

Monica pursed her lips: "I'm so tired."

Severus turned his back to everyone and shook his head gently at Lily who wanted to speak. When no one else was paying attention, he whispered: "Don't talk about you and Catherine."

Lily blinked, her green eyes a little confused.

This silly girl has never thought of telling everyone now that she has been in contact with Catherine. She has already told Catherine their whereabouts. What will everyone think?

What she might have thought about was that Lily saw the nervous Mary and Monica and couldn't bear to hide it from them.

She is always so considerate of others.

It was too noisy down there, and Myrtle's voice was very low after feeling guilty. Severus guessed that they didn't hear what she said, so he said: "The professor may not find us until class tomorrow. If it is Miss Catherine's basilisk, it won't It will hurt us.”

I was afraid that there would be some surprises, so I didn't tell him directly to follow Haierbo. Naturally, some smart adventurer would step forward.

Brave James didn't need to borrow Catherine's light. He took out his wand and said, "I saw some forks when I was sliding down. If I go forward, I might be able to see the passage going up."

Sirius also said: "This should be underground of the castle. If there is an upward passage, you should be able to climb back."

The two most active people said so, and the only Slytherin who could be the dissenter also walked forward. Monica and Mary had no choice but to follow them no matter how unwilling they were.

There were no surprises in the result. Although everyone used fluorescent lights to move forward, Severus had richer life experience and knew Haierbo better, so he quietly guided everyone to the path Haierbo had taken.

When everything was flat, there was a natural cave ahead, and the only light came from an open metal circular door.

Back or forward, at this point, the curiosity of the Gryffindors has been raised to the highest level, what is there to hesitate about?
