Chapter 84 Attack on Lockhart

Lockhart has faced many powerful wizards, who are the real protagonists in his books after all, but they were all solved by him using the Oblivion Curse.Lockhart thought this was because he specialized in the Oblivion Curse, and it was definitely not a sneak attack.

Diving into the cold water again, Lockhart headed upstream.There is no doubt that Lockhart was Dumbledore's pupil.But throughout Lockhart's student career, he and Dumbledore never had face-to-face contact.

The cold river water extinguished Lockhart's unrealistic fantasies, and he even began to comfort himself. Maybe he could write a book "Exploring the Basilisk with Dumbledore" after a while, which would definitely have good sales.

The width of the boulder was far beyond Lockhart's imagination. He wanted to cast a warming spell on himself, but he was afraid that the spell would fail in the water.Looking back at Dumbledore, Lockhart found that Dumbledore was following him calmly, his clothes were not wet, and a force blocked the water flow. Dumbledore's bird was standing on his shoulder. Pleasantly combing feathers.

"It's all thanks to Fawkes." Lockhart heard Dumbledore's words clearly, and he was also helpless about it. Why didn't he have a very powerful bird like Dumbledore?

During the long journey, there were no surprises along the way, except for the traces of the basilisk crawling under the fluorescent light of the wand.Lockhart was finally able to get his head out of the water.

"It seems that we have found the right place." Dumbledore took the lead on the shore and used his wand to help Lockhart clean the river water on his clothes.

"Sorry, Headmaster, I rarely use these magics...but how did you see that we were in the right place?" Lockhart explained. He looked around and found nothing.

"Watch your step, Gilderoy." Dumbledore replied patiently.

Lockhart looked down and saw that he was stepping on a green snakeskin with a dull and bright color.Although he doesn't have much ability and is only proficient in the Forgetting Charm, he is also the idol of many middle-aged and elderly witches, even young witches. If you think about it carefully, Lockhart is still quite powerful.In addition, Lockhart's eyesight is still good. "This should be a snake skin from a long time ago." He said.

"The ultimate fluorescent flash!" The light illuminated the environment where the two of them were.

"There's a tunnel there!" shouted Lockhart.

"Fawkes!" Dumbledore called his phoenix, and Fawkes rose up and flew into the tunnel. "Let's go too," Dumbledore said to Lockhart.

Lockhart followed Fawkes through the tunnel. He was afraid that a basilisk would emerge from that unknown corner, but luckily Dumbledore's bird was in front of him.Despite this, Lockhart still tried his best to recall the spell that Tangning had mentioned before that could ignore the eyes of the basilisk, but unfortunately he found that he could no longer remember the syllables of the spell.

At this moment, Lockhart hoped beyond all hope that this tunnel was just a dead end.

Murphy's Law says that if you worry about something happening, it's more likely to happen.Just when Lockhart's heart began to look forward to it, the tunnel came to an end.What appeared in front of him was a solid wall, on which were carved two large snakes entwined with each other. The eyes of the two snakes were set with huge emeralds, which were shining in the fluorescent light.Lockhart sighed with emotion, "How many galleons can such a big gem be exchanged for!"

But in an instant, Lockhart found that his dream seemed to come true!He tried to speak in a frightened tone, but he could not control his joy, "There is no way ahead, Principal Dumbledore, it seems we can only go back!"

"Let me try." Dumbledore stepped forward and looked quietly at the eyes of the two snakes on the wall. After a while, Dumbledore reached forward again and touched the wall.

"Open!" Dumbledore said in Parseltongue.

The two entangled snakes separated, and the wall cracked from the middle. Lockhart's heart sank to the bottom. He could not imagine the horror after seeing the basilisk.

But Lockhart soon discovered that he had completely underestimated Dumbledore's strength. The moment the wall cracked, Fawkes screamed and rushed in.Almost immediately, Lockhart heard the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground from behind the wall, followed by a 'hissing' sound mixed with Fawkes' screams. Lockhart was very sure that it was Fawkes and the basilisk. fighting.

Not long after, not even a minute, Fox's brisk singing voice came from the other side of the wall.By this time, the wall was fully open.

"Fox blinded the basilisk." Dumbledore said calmly, "Gilderoy, I'll leave the rest to you. I'll save Miss Weasley."

Before Lockhart could agree, Dumbledore disappeared via Apparition.

Then Lockhart discovered that the basilisk was rushing towards him under the guidance of Fox. Even if he lost his eyes, the huge size of the basilisk still gave Lockhart a great sense of oppression. Moreover, Lockhart discovered that the basilisk was It was as if his presence was detected through the sense of smell.

Does the Oblivion Curse work on basilisks?Waiting online, it’s very urgent!

During the subsequent evasion, Lockhart discovered that the basilisk was not only large, but also quite flexible.Two times later, at the critical juncture that was inevitable, Lockhart used his special skill, "Forget everything!"

The spell hit the basilisk's head, but Lockhart did not receive feedback from the spell's hit. He realized something was wrong, but it was too late... the Oblivion Curse was reflected back, hitting Lockhart.

Lockhart was hit and flew back several steps, just in time to avoid the basilisk's attack.He got up from the ground shaking his head, completely forgetting why he was here.

"Ah!~" Lockhart screamed loudly after seeing the basilisk flying towards him. "Help!" he couldn't help shouting.

Then, Lockhart's body moved uncontrollably, and with his screams, he got further and further away from the basilisk.

Dumbledore carried the unconscious Ginny back to the wall entrance, but the situation at the scene was beyond his expectation. Lockhart was in a serious condition for some reason.He had no choice but to hand Ginny over to Fawkes and put the Voldemort's notebook he had just destroyed on his belt.The fact that the basilisk's scales could reflect spells annoyed him a little, but for Dumbledore, it was only a little troublesome.

……

Just after nightfall, all students were notified by Dumbledore that the danger in the Chamber of Secrets had been eliminated, Ginny Weasley was being examined in the school hospital, and the basilisk had been eliminated. The only bad news was that Professor Lockhart was His memory was accidentally lost during the operation to eliminate the basilisk, which means that in the next half school year, if Dumbledore cannot find a suitable substitute professor, the students of Hogwarts will have to wait for a long time. No more Defense Against the Dark Arts classes.
