Chapter 103: Separation
"It's a phoenix," Lockhart said, looking at the big bird that had just emerged from the flames. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Phoenix? Could it be Fawkes, Professor Dumbledore's phoenix? Hearing Lockhart's words, Harry was surprised and said, Darren also vaguely remembered that this was the name of the phoenix, I have to say, it seems that Dumbledore's level of naming pets is not high, because the English pronunciation of the phoenix is "Phoenix", and the name of the phoenix is Fawkes, which is basically the same level as calling the dog Doug and the cat Kate......
Of course, this was something that Darren thought of later, and at that time he didn't have time to think about it, because after a second of appearance, everyone was sure that the phoenix was what Harry was talking about, because it flew straight towards Harry, and I am afraid that no one else in Hogwarts was qualified to ask Dumbledore to send a phoenix to help.
When Fawkes flew up, Darren saw that the claws, which had been obscured by its long tail feathers, were also shiny gold, and there was a clutch of things inside.
Seeing that he was about to fly to Harry's side, Fawkes let go of his claws and threw the clump he was holding, and then stopped on Harry's shoulder, but fortunately Harry reacted quickly and caught the object, otherwise he would have fallen into the water.
Everyone turned their eyes to what was in Harry's hand, "It's the Sorting Hat!" After opening it, Harry inexplicably realized that it was actually the dirty, crumpled hat he had worn on his head when he entered school, but the hat was not singing now, not only did it not sing, it did not move at all, like a rag, motionless in Harry's hands.
"We're dealing with a basilisk that has lived for a thousand years, and Professor Dumbledore has sent a bird and a hat! What's the use of that? Have the bird put a hat on the basilisk and distribute it to Slytherin so that Snape can scare him to death? Ron muttered discontentedly.
And perhaps stimulated by Fawkes's singing, Darren and the others heard a grinding sound from the direction of the statue, this sound Darren was very familiar with, he had heard it on Valentine's Day night, it was the sound of a basilisk crawling!
"Be careful, the basilisk is coming!" Darren reminded the others.
"Damn, it's all this bird, what now?" Ron panicked, hearing his words, Fox poked his head over Harry's shoulder and pecked him the head, even Darren could hear a "boom" sound......
"Ahh It hurts! ”
"Anyway, we'd better get out of here first, the basilisk is coming over soon!" Percy looked at the long shadow cast by the basilisk on the ground and said, "Professor, do you have any suggestions?" ”
"Advice, my advice is, turn your back on the basilisk and don't even look back! Come on! As soon as Lockhart finished speaking, he was the first to rush out and burrow into the passage next to him, leaving a few people looking at his back in amazement.
“…… Is he serious? Harry said dumbfounded.
"If you think you can defeat the millennium basilisk without looking at each other's eyes, I'm joking!" At this moment, Lockhart's voice came from the passage, "Otherwise, it's better to hide in the passage, and we will find another chance to save Ginny, and then get out of here." ”
Regardless of whether what Lockhart said was true or not, seeing that the basilisk was about to approach, Darren and the others had no choice but to turn around and get into the pipe, and the basilisk seemed to have spotted the target, and let out a low hoarse roar, which was quite similar to the snake language Harry had spoken earlier.
After drilling into the pipe, the magic ball of light released by Lockhart could no longer shine in, and Darren was once again in darkness before his eyes, and he had to use his wand to release a fluorescent spell again, and in this intricate system of pipes, there was a better way to get lost with a light source that was not much brighter than a candle?
Therefore, after turning a few corners, Darren was not without depression to find that it seemed that he had just run a wrong fork in the road and separated from the others, and what made him even more depressed was that judging from the voice behind him, the basilisk did not chase the others, but followed him closely!
"Why me, shouldn't the basilisk attack Harry, that's the treatment of a savior, well, I'm a soy sauce beater! Damn, it won't be so unlucky......" Feeling the threat of the basilisk behind him, Darren ran desperately, but the faster he ran, the more he couldn't tell the direction, he was worried that if he continued to run like this, he was afraid that even if he got rid of the basilisk, he would not be able to find anyone else.
But listening to the voice behind him, the distance between the basilisk and Darren is getting closer and closer, if there is no accident, soon the basilisk will catch up with him, even if Darren can close his eyes to avoid that deadly gaze, he can't deal with the basilisk's full fangs, not to mention the huge size of the basilisk, as long as it runs over Darren, it is enough to kill Darren......
To make matters worse, Harry has Fawkes to help him deal with the Basilisk's Deadly Eye and the Gryffindor Sword in the Sorting Hat, while Darren is alone and wand in his hand!
"No, I can't deal with the basilisk alone, I just have those eyes, and I'll have to go to Harry and let Fawkes blind him," Darren thought as he ran, "but for now, I have to find a way to slow down the basilisk first, by the way, I'm so stupid!" ”
Darren suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "Obstacle Spell"! This spell can be cast within a certain range without aiming at the target, and can be used just right against the basilisk.
However, there is a small problem at the moment, that is, Darren is using his wand to cast a fluorescent spell, and if he wants to release other spells, he needs to cancel the fluorescent spell, which means that Darren has to turn off the only light source while running in this dark pipe......
But Darren had no choice but to grit his teeth and hold on while raising his wand to find the right terrain, but fortunately, he quickly found a straight pipe that allowed him to run forward for some distance, even without lighting.
"Obstacle Charm!" After Darren canceled the Glowing Spell, he ran forward, turned around and released the Spell behind him, and then continued to run wildly without checking the effect, preparing to release the Glowing Spell again.
But before he lit his wand, he felt his forehead hit something hard, followed by his nose, shoulders, chest, arms and legs swinging rapidly, it was a whole hard plane, and it bounced back to Darren and fell to the ground, the impact was so strong that Darren even took off his wand and flew out!
