Dressed as a Hogwarts portrait

The gossip portraits of Hogwarts once again found that they have a good temper (==) and good looks (...) What’s more important is that they are interested in the gossip that other portraits have long been tired of hearing. Green, who gave them a sense of accomplishment, didn't show up for another ten days.As a result, everyone kept talking about it every day, and the portraits of the girls were about to make lovesickness dreams, but no one knew where Green's paintings were hung. It seemed that Green himself didn't know very well, this castle is too big.

Counting the days, the start of school is approaching, and the portraits are looking forward to those children who get lost in the corridor, who are a little older and meet at the corner for a date, and meet duels that don't look right. For them, the time is like this. Year after year, 100 Year 100 years spent.

Except for a certain portrait hanging in the secret room.

He was sighing for the ten thousandth time on his stomach on the table.

Just over a month later, he was caught in the face, and he was hit head-on by the scariest potions professor at Hogwarts-it's safe to say that his days are over, because there is also a basilisk at the scene.Who knows if he will be suspected of being involved in the diary plot?He hasn't studied the Harry Potter book carefully, but at least he knows that in one book, whoever wins in the end needs to be wary of the most.

Not the savior, but the old man behind the savior, the headmaster of Hogwarts.

He couldn't count on Snape not telling Dumbledore about seeing the portrait of Salazar Slytherin.

At this moment, how much he wished that Snape was loyal to Voldemort...well, that guy has gone crazy to make himself that kind of virtue, or should he hope that Lily hates James Potter?Then there is no Harry, and it is a question of whether the book still exists-maybe he should hope that Voldemort, like Harry Potter, is still active and healthy after being abused? ?

Totally powerless.

Staring at the tall bookshelf in frustration, it was already in a mess.

All, every book here, every page in it, he has an impression.

Who the hell is he?

He should be a living person, not a portrait like this one that doesn't feel thirsty and hungry, and doesn't have a bed to sleep in, and can't get out of the frame.What, want to think about how to transform back into a living person?Merlin, he still hasn't figured out why the portraits in the wizarding world move. The books on the shelf are full of black magic and potions. Maybe he understands everything that black wizards know now, but it's a pity that he knows the common sense that wizards should know. But I don't know at all.

Damn it, he didn't want to continue to be moldy in the secret room.

"Master—I respect the great master!"

The mirror, who hadn't said anything for a long time, suddenly screamed, almost falling off the chair in fright.

"I know you are in a bad mood, yes, as the mirror of the noble Duke of Slytherin, I can't even see this, although I wonder why your bad mood lasted for so long this time, but I still have to risk my own bones to tell you..."

It's cheap for you to be divided into pieces, the corners of the mouth twitched fiercely, and he blurted out the black magic he just saw: "Flesh and flesh are separated."

"Ah—" shouted in anger, and the mirror continued to mutter intact: "My noble and great master, have you forgotten that I am a mirror, 'separation of flesh and blood' is only effective for flesh and blood..."

—He didn't forget that this is a mirror that likes to speak in arias, he just "often" forgets that he is just a portrait.

"...Aerys is outside the door, master. She is lying and rolling in the pool where she has slept for thousands of years. She looks very bad, master, do you really ignore Iris? Oh, that's the old man, wearing strange clothes , if you let me know that it was the mirror that gave him advice and taste—Merlin, he is calling your name, master, saying that Aerys has a bad stomach and apologizes to you..."

A drop of sweat.

The basilisk broke his stomach?Did Dumbledore come after him?Where should he run away? For more than ten days, he didn't have the courage to open the door leading to the head Slytherin's office.Even magic can make people know what is going on in other people's minds. God knows if he will be dragged out of this secret room because of this open door?

"Master, this old man is so irresponsible, he actually said that his Potions Master has returned home..."

Yes, good news, Professor Snape finally left the castle and went back to Spider's End, but what's the use?He still didn't dare to go out, Dumbledore was still in school.

"...It's too much, the so-called potions professor actually wrote back to this old man saying that the magic notes you left behind, master, didn't include any potions to cure Aerys' indigestion, and there was nothing he could do..."

The back of his head was sweating, what was it all about, what did the basilisk eat, given its size, and its strength as a magical creature, what else could it not digest?Merlin.

After thinking about it, I accidentally said it.

Dedicated mirror——Although the outer side has been cracked into seven or eight pieces and lying on the ground, it still performs well as a solid alchemy item, and the broken voice is still clear: "Oh, Merlin is here, poor Aerys, my master asks what did you eat?"

The basilisk rolling outside was tumbling in the water, and the white-bearded old man who had been babbling had a sly smile in his eyes, and soon he coughed softly with a sad face: "It's too unfortunate, Miss Iris may be hungry. It's been too long, maybe it's because she hasn't eaten lemon cake, she swallowed more than 800 in one go-although my heart hurts, but since Iris likes it-I sent her back the day before yesterday and it was fine, today I came to think Invited her to my office to taste the newly bought Zizi Honey Candy, unexpectedly..."

After listening to the retelling by the mirror without missing a single word, the portrait froze.

Dumbledore took the basilisk to the headmaster's office for cake?

The basilisk is still gone? !

That's not the point... The point is that the basilisk actually ate that lemon cake? !Or more than 800?Merlin, is he crazy or is the world changing too fast? (It's because Nai's pet is too slanderous, um, and Dumbledore is too rich, [-] lemon cakes, how many children are enough for the Weasley family...)

Maybe it was because his anger was too obvious, the mirror's voice became lower and lower, and he got up some time: "Master... Aerys..."

"Shut up! You can't die!!"

After yelling, I suddenly felt a palpitation in my heart.

——The gastric juice of the basilisk is a kind of strong corrosive venom. There is almost nothing that cannot be melted, including animal bones. The basilisk eats live animals directly by swallowing them. A small lemon cake cannot make the basilisk have a stomachache.

The basilisk is the most terrifying magical creature in England. Together with the feathered snake on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean and Anubis in Egypt, it is called the monster that wizards need to avoid most. The basilisk can use its eyes to kill people from birth. Its teeth are highly poisonous. Being able to control surrounding creatures with magic power includes manipulating wizards and temporarily depriving them of consciousness. The attack speed within a certain range is as fast as lightning, and possesses wisdom comparable to wizards. The only vulnerable period in its life is when it sheds its skin...

Yes, it has been hungry for so long, and of course it will shed its skin after getting enough food.

"Aerys, the master said, you're going to shed your skin, aren't you?"

The mirror completely ignored Dumbledore, but Dumbledore was not annoyed at all. On the contrary, he was very surprised, his eyes fixed, and his expression became solemn. Obviously, he also knew that the strong physique of the basilisk could not spoil his stomach, at most he would be hungry for too long Indigestion, bringing the basilisk to the door itself is ulterior motives, and I heard the horrifying facts before I had time to be happy.

For a snake, whether it's a mighty basilisk or a grass snake in a vegetable patch, shedding its skin is a dangerous business.

He had to rush to the Diagon Alley pet store to buy a special nutritional supplement for molting.

Oh, no, maybe he needs to send Fox to find Severus to make potions, magic power restoration potions and growth potions, and maybe painkilling potions, such a big basilisk, it's a bit of a toss after shedding its skin once, maybe it's going to hurt A few days and nights are normal!

Don't be afraid that Severus won't agree, just a few boxes of chocolate Olaf, and the lovely Aerys will definitely agree to give the snake slough to Severus.

Dumbledore, who left in a hurry, suddenly had the last thought before Apparating:—Merlin, it is already big enough, how much longer will it have to molt this time?Maybe a few boxes of chocolate snow treasures are not enough, need to prepare a dozen boxes?The question is, does Honeydukes have that much stock?
