[HP] The Elegance of the Night

Harry cast Occlumency again, staring sadly at the diary on the ground with blank eyes.Igil walked up to him and picked up the damaged diary, Harry's lips trembled a few times, and he remained silent.

"Harry Potter, you defeated Voldemort again." There was an inexplicable self-mockery on the corner of Igil's mouth, Harry didn't seem to hear his words, and there was no joy on his pale face.Holding his sword, he walked towards Basilisk step by step, each step leaving deep marks on the dusty ground.

"It just obeys the orders of the Parseltongue. No one died because of it. As a Slytherin, I won't let you hurt it." Igil stopped Harry's way, his eyes were firm: "If you want Kill it by stepping over my dead body, Harry Potter! I will not let you kill the symbol of our house in front of me."

The blue-eyed boy heard Yigil call out his name loudly, and his sluggish blue eyes recovered a little. "Okay," he lowered the weapon in his hand, "I won't attack a comrade who has been fighting with me all this time, you win, Black."

At this time, a faint groan came from the other side of the secret room, Ginny under the statue began to move, Harry hurried over, Ginny had already sat up, she looked blankly at the blue-eyed boy, then her eyes fell On Igil and the diary in his hand.

"I'm sorry, I did it, but I—I swear I—I didn't mean to, R—Riddle made me do it, he controlled me—" Ginny shuddered and gasped. The air was cold, and tears flowed down my face.

"It's all right," Harry said, "he's fucked, I—killed. Come on, Ginny, let's get out of here." The blue-eyed boy helped Ginny to her feet.Igil raised his wand and cast a spell at the petrified Ron and the unconscious Ellie next to Ginny, a puff of green smoke spewed out from his wand and filled under the statue. After a while, the two little lion cubs Blinking, recovered.

"Ginny!" Ron woke up and saw that his sister was safe and sound, he stepped forward to hug her in surprise, and shouted excitedly, "Great, great, you're fine, thank Merlin! Ginny— —”

Ellie opened her mouth wide and looked at the diary in Igil's hand, and then at the basilisk tied into a bow in the distance.

"I missed it!" she exclaimed, remembering the time before she fainted, when sixteen-year-old Riddle hit her with a spell.

"Um, I mean, it's really nice that I'm still alive..."

"I'll be expelled!" Ginny sobbed uncontrollably when Harry and Ron helped the wobbly Ginny to her feet, "I've been looking forward to studying at Hogwarts, and now I have to If you don't leave, what will Mom and Dad do—how should I put it?"

"It's okay, Ginny, it's okay..." Harry reassured her softly.

"What the hell happened? Why was Ginny fired? Harry, how do you have a sword?" Ron was full of doubts, and he seemed to have missed a lot.

"I'll explain it to you slowly when we get out of here," said Harry.

"But--"

"More on that later." Harry changed the subject, "Where's Lockhart? Black."

"I marked it, so it's easy to find when you go out." Igil walked up to Basilisk with the diary, and touched its big flat head. "Can you understand what I'm saying? Nod if you understand."

"My God, it's still alive!" Ellie's terrified scream pierced the sky.

"I don't want it to die." Igil glanced at Ellie and said coldly, the warmth in his eyes disappeared, "It belongs to the whole Slytherin, if you want to take its life, then—"

"No, Blake, you misunderstood." Ellie said embarrassingly.

"But it's a dangerous basilisk, it petrified so many people!" This was Ron's retort.

"Yes, its yellow eyes are beautiful. You understand us, beautiful basilisk."

Basilisk nodded, hissing in Parseltongue.At this time, a few little wizards of Gryffindor realized that the eyes of the basilisk were open.

"It-we, we're not petrified!" Ellie screamed again.

"I didn't think it was pretty!" Ron said disgustedly. "It's dangerous! Black, your taste will kill us."

"The basilisk can control its eyes. It only kills its prey with its eyes when it is eating. I think you should read more books, Ron Weasley." Igil shrugged.

"What do you mean! You evil Slater—" Before Ron finished speaking, Ginny let out a loud howl. He immediately stopped the vicious words that blurted out, and explained helplessly, "No—no, Ginny, I meant no harm—you hear me—I didn't mean to."

"I believe it's not malicious now, Ron Weasley." Igil looked contemptuously at the red-haired boy's clumsy comfort, why the red-haired boy hasn't grown up until now, his sister was once again beaten by him hurt.

"It was just contained before," Igil said.

Ginny's body froze when she heard the word "control". She looked at the boy in the Snake Court with the same expression as usual, and she felt hopeful in her heart. Maybe——she didn't have to leave Hogwarts .

"Riddle has been wiped out, I think it will return to its previous life." Igil touched the basilisk's slippery scales and murmured softly against its flat head. Basilisk nodded, He stuck out his tongue and let out a cold hiss.

"It said it didn't like to go out," Harry Parseltongue Potter translated for the young wizards, "Riddle commanded it, and it said let's untie it."

Igil also smiled in Parseltongue, and Basilisk's original sentence is actually this: [Hiss... That damned Tom Riddle disturbs me every time I sleep, doesn't he know about Basilisks? Do you need to hibernate too? If it weren't for him being a damn Parseltongue, my life wouldn't be as bad as it is now, hiss... I don't like bows, untie me quickly] "Then, it's settled." Yigil waved his wand, and the basilisk was free. "We'd better go back quickly."

"Well, let's go to Lockhart first." Harry said weakly, and Igil raised his eyebrows. There was something wrong with the blue-eyed boy.

Fox's broad scarlet wings cast a soft golden light in the dark.The little wizards followed behind him, returning all the way, and Igil found the invisible Lockhart under the eye-catching mark.

As soon as the stun spell was lifted, the handsome blond man who had just regained his sanity jumped up from the ground. He looked around nervously for something, and he was relieved only when he found the brightly colored snakeskin in his pocket.

"Oh, everything is settled?" He blinked his forget-me-not grass blue eyes and six teeth flashed, "How can I be missing at this time, it's a pity."

The little wizards of Gryffindor collectively despise him, and the little wizards of Slytherin are much more graceful. Of course, Miss Ginny is completely at a loss.

Taking Lockhart with them, the little wizards returned to the entrance of the water pipe, when they encountered a problem.

"How do we go back up there along the water pipe?" Yigil looked up through the long, dark water pipe. If the cubs had walked the secret passage he arranged, they would not have encountered this situation.Phoenix Fawkes swished over their heads, scratching with its two claws in mid-air.

"Oh, there's a way!" said Harry. "We can hold on to each other and let Fox take us up."

"That's the only way—" Igil complained in his heart, he hugged Harry's waist helplessly, and felt the hand hugging him from behind rubbing against his abdomen.

"Miss Windsor, I think you should hold on tighter!" Igil rolled his eyes.

"Sorry, Blake, I was just a little nervous." Allie withdrew her tofu-eating hand and hugged instead.

Awow, if I could travel back in time, I would write a book called "Intimate Contact with the Man in the Snake Court!" "Ellie was very excited.

Igil's waist is very thin, and the forehead—it feels good in the hand. I don't know how the dean feels when he touches it. A certain woman began to think wildly...

In the quiet room, Basilisk curled up on the floor and spit out snake letters. In the darkness, an old man wearing a star robe raised his wand and pointed it at the basilisk.

"What do you want to do to my pet? Dumbledore." The voice that seemed to contain powerful magic power suddenly appeared, causing the old man's figure to pause in surprise.He stepped out of the darkness, and a ball of light burst from his wand.

The light illuminated the entire secret room, and the metal picture frame in the corner was exposed to the light, and the handsome man with red eyes in the portrait sat gracefully, revealing endless majesty.

"Salazar Slytherin?" The old man said uncertainly, the statue was too different from the portrait, but the iconic red eyes and the content of the words had already indicated his identity.

"As you can see, Albus Dumbledore." The handsome red-eyed man looked at the old man with elegant jaws and gorgeous red eyes, "I noticed you as soon as you came. Dumbledore, as the current principal, you, Done enough for those little wizards, graying their hair at such a young age."

"Dear Slytherin, your pet has increased my workload." Dumbledore lowered the wand in his hand. He knew that the time to kill the basilisk had passed, and Salazar Slytherin actually stayed behind. Portrait, it was a big surprise.

"The glory of Slytherin for thousands of years has been forgotten, and my little pet is just a reminder to those who are no longer sincere." Baslisk, if it wasn't for my order, it wouldn't be so weak. Every drop of a wizard's blood is precious, and no one would die for it, right?"

"The innocent girl turned into a ghost 50 years ago, she is still wandering in the bathroom, great - Slytherin." Dumbledore's tone was extremely heavy.

"I'm sorry for the accident, I think this incident has shown the problem, Dumbledore, everyone makes mistakes, doesn't it?"

"Yes." Dumbledore thought of Ariana for a moment. Everyone makes mistakes, and the death of his sister has paid a heavy price for the mistakes he once made.

Dumbledore's bright blue eyes rested on the portrait, staring penetratingly at one of the Hogwarts Big Four in the frame.

"Tom—" he said, "that kid is the last of Slytherin, and he's gone astray. Maybe you can do something for him as he goes further and further in the pursuit of the truth?"

The red-eyed handsome man in the portrait narrowed his eyes into a line, and sneered coldly: "Dumbledore, Gryffindor's great sentiment of caring about half-blood wizards really hasn't changed at all."

"Half-blood wizard! Do you think so of Tom?" Dumbledore was surprised by the indifference of the snake ancestor, and the corners of the mouth of the red-eyed handsome man in the portrait drew a perfect arc, "Isn't it? Dumbledore, you seem to have forgotten Despite this fact, is it still - half-blood wizards in Slytherin House, far less Gryffindors - worthy of your kindness?"

"Maybe we are all wrong." Dumbledore sighed, and the mocking smile of the handsome man with red eyes in the portrait did not change.

If some problems are so easy to solve, it won't be a thousand years. Even if we confess to each other, we will continue to move forward in our respective directions, because this is the choice we have made long ago.

"Leave from my secret room, Dumbledore, and don't keep those students who need you waiting." Salazar Slytherin suddenly lost interest in talking and gave the order to evict. "I'll change the spell that opens the Chamber of Secrets while you're gone. That's - the only thing I can do for Hogwarts."

The old man sighed long, Salazar Slytherin was more extreme than the legends said, this conversation is meaningless - even if the spell is not changed, there will be no real Parseltongue to open the Chamber of Secrets.

Dumbledore left the secret room with heavy steps. In the portrait, the handsome man with red eyes teased his pet with his fingers, making the basilisk change various postures with his gestures, and skillfully tied itself into a bow and then untied it. .

【We are moving, Baslisk】With no outsiders present, Salazar Slytherin's smile is much gentler 【Back to the original place - Slytherin Manor】Hiss... Baslisk shook Tail responded to him happily.

That—is where it was born.
