Green light erupted from the tip of Harry's wand, and Phoenix's wand cast a white spell at the same time. They met in the air in an instant, like two entangled poisonous snakes tumbling, and the middle part turned into a golden point of light. Riddle paused for a moment as he hadn't fully resurrected yet, and the point of light began to move towards Riddle.

Harry's wand was in Riddle's hand, and now all he had was a tattered Sorting Hat and a phoenix. After anxiously carrying Ginny to safety, Harry found that he was completely out of his hands.

Riddle had a focused look on his face, and after a moment he opened his mouth and hissed, "Speak to me, Slytherin, the greatest of the Hogwarts Four." ”

Slytherin's massive stone face moved. Its mouth opened and grew wider and wider, eventually forming a huge black hole. Something moves in the statue's mouth. Something slid upwards from the depths of the statue.

"Go deal with the basilisk, he'll leave it to me. Phoenix shouted.

"Okay. Harry tried to reply loudly, but understandably not very confident. He was basically bare-handed, and it was hard to imagine smoking a basilisk with a Sorting Hat.

He could almost see the serpent unfurling its coiled body from Slytherin's mouth. Then he heard Riddle's hissing voice: "Kill him." ”

This is Fox flying over.

Hovering over its head, the basilisk angrily lunged at the phoenix, muzzling thin, long saber-like fangs.

Fawkes swooped down, its long golden beak digging into the basilisk's head, and in an instant, a stream of black blood splattered onto the ground like a shower. The basilisk's tail swung wildly, nearly hitting Harry. Before Harry could close his eyes, the basilisk had already turned his head. Those two huge yellow eyes like light bulbs were blinded by the phoenix. Black blood spurted to the ground, and the basilisk purred in pain.

Riddle was engrossed, and the light began to move back little by little. Phoenix is not surprised, like a wooden barrel that is constantly being filled with water, Riddle's magical magnetic field is getting stronger and stronger, Ginny's vitality is slowly transferring to Riddle, and his strength is getting stronger little by little.

The magical magnetic field grew stronger and more stable with age - it couldn't be fought with him anymore. This direct confrontation of magical power mainly depends on the strength of the caster's magical magnetic field and willpower. Maybe they don't have much difference in willpower, but in terms of the strength of the magic magnetic field, Riddle has a natural advantage.

Another crimson bird suddenly fell from the sky and landed softly on Phoenix's shoulder. Some golden-red, mist-like gas drifted away from its body and flew into Phoenix's ears.

The light stopped, and stopped moving forward. Riddle smiled grimly, raised his wand slightly, and the point of light suddenly advanced. There was not a hint of panic on Phoenix's face, and he kept withdrawing his mana.

The point of light came to a few inches in front of only the Phoenix wand. He manipulated the flexible pick of the tip of his staff, and blew a breath of golden air at the point of light, and the entire green light exploded into a giant snake covered in flames, and in an instant, the damp feeling in the secret room was gone, and all that was left was the unbearable heat.

Eden chirped softly.

"Seriously—" It thinks it's the magic it provides, and it should turn into a phoenix instead of a snake.

As soon as the fiery snake rushed halfway, it was blown into a puff of black smoke. Riddle flicked his wand loudly, and the black smoke turned purple like a wave.

No, Riddle instinctively felt it. As soon as he thought of this, a strong current of water rushed him to the point where he wrapped him up and turned him into a water balloon.

Phoenix was already standing on top of the Slytherin statue at this point, and Riddle's attack was missed. Eden was constantly pumping out his magic and taking him with him a phantasmagion, and it was a little overwhelmed, swaying on its shoulders. He saw Harry slide down the wall to the ground. He grabbed the venom-spewing fangs and pulled it out of his arm.

"Quick, destroy that journal with snake fangs. With that, he stabbed forward with his wand, and the balloon of water that wrapped Riddle turned into an ice ball.

Harry struggled to insert it into the center of the journal. The purple smoke turned into black smoke once more obscuring their vision, and there was a terrible, long-lasting, eardrum-piercing scream, and streams of ink spurted out of the journal and ran down Harry's hands to the ground. The puck is blown apart.

Riddle twisted and struggled, his arms flailing and waving, his mouth screaming, and then - he was gone. With a click, Harry's wand fell to the ground, and everything fell silent, except for the sound of ink still ticking out of the diary. The basilisk's venom had burned a hole in the diary, and black smoke was still hissing.

A bright red light flashed lightly in front of him, and Harry heard the gentle scratching of claws beside him.

"Fawkes," Harry said indistinctly, "you're amazing, Fawkes—" He felt the big bird stick its beautiful head to the spot where he had been stabbed by the basilisk's fangs. Fawkes's head was clear and blurry. Large pearly tears rolled down its shiny feathers.

Phoenix walked over and picked up the gleaming silver sword, the hilt of which was studded with a dazzling egg-sized ruby. Take a closer look.

Harry quickly came to his senses, "I'm not dead?"

"The tears of the phoenix can heal any wound, and any venom can be neutralized. ”

Ginny sat up. Her blank gaze fell first on the massive body of the basilisk, then on Harry in his blood-stained robes, and finally on the diary in his hand. She snorted, gasped, and tears flowed down her cheeks.

"Are you alright?" Phoenix asked casually, but Ginny ignored him.

"Harry, I wanted to tell you at breakfast, but I couldn't say it in Percy's presence. I did it, Harry, but I-I swear I didn't mean to, Riddle forced me, he controlled me. How did you kill that guy? Where is Riddle? I only remember him coming out of his diary at the end?"

"It's all right now," Harry said, showing Ginny the big hole that had been pierced by fangs, "Riddle is finished." Look, he's done with the basilisk. ”

Eden chirped at Fawkes, as if to say hello. It just glanced at Eden and flew away. Phoenix licked his lips dried by the fiery serpent, "Go back to Ron." ”

Well, since it's old, you should respect the old man, the old phoenix. But how old are you?' Phoenix had just thought of this, and a thought suddenly came to his mind.

'I don't know how old you are—' Eden pecked him the head.

Fawkes circled at the entrance to the chamber, waiting for them. Harry urged Ginny to walk quickly, and they stepped over the motionless coiled corpse of the basilisk through the dark, empty, echoing room and back into the tunnel.

They walked up the tunnel for a few minutes when Harry heard the sound of slowly moving rocks in the distance. "Ron!" Harry shouted, sped up under his feet. "Ginny is alright!

He heard Ron let out a dull cheer. They turned another corner, and saw Ron's face peering eagerly at them through a large gap, which he had managed to dig out of the falling rubble.

"Ginny!" Ron reached out of the gap and pulled Ginny over first, "You're still alive! I can't believe it!" he tried to hug Ginny, but Ginny cried and wouldn't let him near him.

"You're all right, Ginny," Ron smiled at her, "it's all over, where did the bird come from?"

"It's Dumbledore's. Harry said, and Phoenix squeezed through the gap. "It's from Phoenix. ”

"How do you have a sword?" Ron asked, surprised, staring at the silver weapon in Phoenix's hand.

"We'll explain it slowly when we get out of here. Phoenix glanced at Lockhart, where he sat and hummed a little tune to himself.

"His memory is gone," Ron said, "and the Oblivion Charm fires backwards, not hitting us, but hitting himself. He doesn't remember who he is, where he is, and he doesn't know us anymore. I told him to come up here and wait. It's not safe for him to stay there. ”

"Alright, you grab Fawkes's tail feathers, one by one. Ginny, you hold Ron's hand—" After Phoenix finished, Harry asked suspiciously, "What about you?"

"Eden, you can take me up directly, you are not the owner of Fawkes, it can't take you directly to the illusion. See you above. ”

With that, Phoenix turned into a flame and disappeared into the secret room.
