Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 641 Underestimate the enemy

  Thirty seconds ago, Tom, who used magic to control Ginny Weasley's body, had been silently watching the position of the ink dot representing Albert on the diary, quietly waiting for the other party to step into his attack range like a poisonous snake.

  Tom came to the basilisk, intending to let the Muggle wizard be killed by the eyes of the basilisk, to witness the truth of the matter with his own eyes. This is the last mercy given by Voldemort.

   However, Tom's bad taste didn't work out.

   After a few seconds, things changed unexpectedly.

  The ink dot marked Albert Anderson on the diary, suddenly stopped moving forward, turned around and left in the direction it came from.

  Tom was stunned for a few seconds, and his first reaction was that the other party sensed the ambush, so he turned around and left.

   No, it should be said that the Muggle wizard knew from the beginning that he would let the basilisk attack him, so it was not too surprising that he would react like this.

   It's just, how did the other party realize that he was going to attack him here, or was the other party just planning to wander back and forth in the nearby corridors, trying to lure himself to appear?

  Whether it is the former or the latter, it actually doesn't make sense to Tom Riddle.

   Albert's abnormal behavior really disgusted Tom.

  It would be a shame if you just watched the prey that took the bait slip away from your nose like this.

  Tom even wondered if the guy with a fairly smart mind used this method to provoke himself on purpose.

  Since the ambush failed, Tom didn't want to wait any longer. Without any hesitation, he immediately hissed from his mouth, and directly ordered the basilisk beside him to chase up and kill the guy.

Due to the Easter holiday, most of the students in the castle went home for the holidays, and the number of students staying in the school was limited, and Professor McGonagall asked the students who stayed in the school to stay in their common rooms or libraries. Most of the Hogwarts castle was completely deserted, not to mention that Tom had been using the footprint spell to spy on the entire castle, which was why he was able to find Albert accurately.

  Of course, even if someone strayed in, it didn't matter. After Dumbledore was chased away by his tricks, no one in the school could stop him anymore.

  After receiving the master's order, the basilisk twisted its body excitedly, and chased in the direction where Albert was escaping.

   It was the prey, the food the owner allowed it to eat, which made the eyes of the basilisk even more terrifying after starving for a long time.

  The basilisk stared straight at the running figure in the corridor, and made a slight hissing sound, as if saying: "...tear you...kill you...eat you..."

  Although Albert didn't understand Parseltongue, the cold sight from behind and the sound of the Basilisk's heavy body sliding across the marble floor made the hairs on his back stand up.

  The Elixir of Felicity (intuition) is frantically reminding him that he can't turn back, don't turn back, he will die, and he will be killed by the eyes of the basilisk.

  Under the oppression of death, Albert ran quickly.

  Even if he didn't look back, he knew that the basilisk had already caught up. As expected, the speed of the basilisk was faster than himself.

   "You can't escape!"

  Tom Riddle came out from the corner, looking at the back of the fleeing figure in front of him, with a happy smile on his face.

  The basilisk was getting closer and closer to Albert, and it was about to pounce on him and tear him into pieces.

   However, the smile on Tom's face froze.

  He saw the Muggle wizard throw something behind him, and a strange yellow smoke suddenly rose from the corridor.

  From the hiss of the basilisk, Tom could sense that the basilisk seemed to hate the smoke and the smell in the air.

  Actually, Tom could smell the irritating smell that made him uncomfortable from a long distance, so he had to use the bubble head spell to isolate his head from the outside world to prevent himself from inhaling the poisonous gas in the corridor.

   "Is this what you rely on?" Tom murmured, and finally understood why the Muggle wizard had the courage to challenge the basilisk. It turned out that he had found a way to expel the basilisk.

  This little trick made Tom feel ridiculous. He waved Ginny's wand, and a gust of wind was created, sweeping away all the poisonous gas that filled the corridor.

   "Don't let him escape, go after him and kill him."

  Tom continued to use Parseltongue to issue orders to the basilisk, making it continue to chase the embarrassed figure in front of him, who dared to provoke him, Tom would never allow the other party to escape like this.

  Actually, Albert was not as embarrassed as Tom thought. The Felix Elixir had enhanced his physical strength very well, and he had also been exercising a while ago, so Albert was still able to handle it with ease.

   Fear, fear?

is a bit.

  Everyone is afraid of death.

  The Elixir of Felicity allowed Albert to keep his head calm, and he was even thinking about how to use the props he had prepared to blind the basilisk's eyes and kill it back.

  I can fight back!

  This is probably Albert's current mentality.

   Yes, his mind was a little inflated.

  The Bliss Elixir (intuition) reminded him all the time that relying on the previous preparations, it would be easy to kill the basilisk.

  What really scares Albert is the eyes of the basilisk. As long as he blinds the basilisk, he has countless ways to kill it.

  When countless ways to kill the basilisk came to Albert's mind, a new task even appeared on the task panel, which made him itchy and wanted to try to kill the basilisk that was chasing him.

  However, Albert quickly suppressed the churning thoughts in his mind, and never forgot his purpose. He also knew that "I can fight back" is just an illusion, and the truth is that if you try it, you will die.

   There is nothing wrong with being careful.

   Kill the Basilisk.

  That is Harry Potter's task, there is no need to risk your own life.

  Um, now?

   It's not an adventure at all right now.

  Perhaps, in Tom's eyes, the basilisk chased Albert away, but Albert knew that as long as he didn't stop, the basilisk behind him couldn't threaten his life when he was prepared.

   Taking advantage of the snake-repelling bullets to block the basilisk, Albert opened a distance again.

  Felix Felicia (intuition) was reminding him again that something big would have to happen before Tom could be forced to take Ginny into the Chamber of Secrets.

   Bringing that process up front is the main reason he's here now.

  Actually, Albert felt that throwing a few smoke bombs made of dark powder blocked the Basilisk's sight for a moment. Taking advantage of the opportunity to arrange the scene, there is a chance to kill the basilisk or cause a lot of trouble for it, but the idea of ​​​​stopping was eventually rejected by Albert.

  The real enemy is not necessarily the basilisk behind him, but also his growing confidence.

   Albert threw all the sticky **** behind him, instantly creating a large sticky area behind him.

   This obviously can't trap the basilisk, but it can cause some trouble for the basilisk.

   When the basilisk twisted its body and waded through the sticky area, its movement speed dropped a lot instantly.

   "That **** guy!"

  Seeing this scene, Tom Riddle felt as sick as swallowing a fly. He waved his wand to eliminate the large sticky area in front of him.

  However, Albert Anderson took the opportunity to pass the corner and disappeared from Tom's field of vision.

   When Tom caught up again, he found that Albert Anderson had disappeared from the corridor. He knew that the other party had not used the Disillusionment Charm on him, because the Disillusionment Curse had no effect on the basilisk.

  Tom immediately turned his attention to the diary in his hand, and the ink dot marked Albert Anderson on the map was in the classroom on the side of the corridor.

  What the **** is that guy doing?

give up?

   Or are you going to stick to the classroom and wait for other professors to come over?

   Albert's mysterious behavior confused Tom. He looked at the classroom where Albert was hiding, and the entrance door was sealed by magic.

  When the basilisk broke in through the door, Tom Riddle discovered that the classroom was a trap prepared by Albert for the basilisk.

   There was a strange darkness in the classroom door that was knocked open, and that darkness could not penetrate even light.

  The moment the basilisk opened the door and broke into the classroom, two puppets controlled by magic swung rusty axes and long swords at the basilisk at the first moment.

  The rusty ax and the long sword slashed on the scales of the basilisk, but they couldn't cause substantial damage to it.

  However, what Tom couldn't believe the most was that there was not only an ambush in the darkness of the classroom, but also a rooster crowing.

The rooster that the house elf had raised for several months was finally released from the elf ball by Albert. After hearing the two brave and fearless knight armors being crushed by the basilisk, he was frightened and screamed. stand up.

  When the basilisk heard the crowing of the rooster, it immediately ran out of the classroom in panic, making a lot of noise, and almost knocked Tom down.

  Even though Tom kept hissing, he still couldn't calm down the basilisk.

   Run for your life in a hurry.

   There is probably no better word to describe the basilisks of today.

Rooster?

  Where did the rooster come from in the school? Hearing the sound, there is more than one rooster.

  At this moment, Tom felt that he had been punched so hard that his nose was crooked.

  He knew he had made a stupid mistake and underestimated his opponent too much.

it's all over!

  Tom is going to kill the Muggle wizard who dared to fool himself.

  After he waved his wand and rolled the black smoke out of the window, he found that there were only a group of crowing roosters left in the classroom, and only the desk damaged by the basilisk and the crushed knight armor remained.

  Where did you hide?

  There is no shadow of Albert now.

  Tom Riddle immediately looked at the diary, and the ink dot marking Albert Anderson had completely disappeared from the diary.

   "Asshole, I must kill you!"

  Tom felt his cheeks were hot, as if he had been slapped several times. He didn't know that he was fooled by Albert Anderson. No one had ever dared to fool Voldemort like this.

  Other professors have sensed the noise here and are coming here.

  Before leaving, Tom looked back at the classroom again, but still couldn't figure out how the guy disappeared from under his nose.
