Darren's movements also caught Hermione's attention, and she held a notebook in one hand and leaned in to look, "It's weird, have you ever seen a spider like this?" She asked, puzzled. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"No," replied Darren, "most spiders act alone, it's rare to see so many spiders together, and you see that their species are not the same, normally they should fight, and it's so cold outside the castle, what are they going out for?" ”

Obviously, Hermione didn't know the answer to this question, and after looking at the spider with Darren for a while, she reached out and handed him the notebook, "Here, these are the notes from Professor Flitwick's Charms class this afternoon," and then whispered, "But I doubt you need it." ”

"......" Darren remembered what he had just said, and couldn't help but feel a heat in his ears, and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, of course I didn't listen to Professor Flitwick's lecture this afternoon, just thinking about it......" He stopped suddenly, could it be that he told Hermione that he had been wondering why she was with Ron all afternoon? Then I guess I will be beaten to death by Hermione, no, I will definitely be killed by Hermione!

"What's the matter, what do you think about in the afternoon class?" Hermione listened to Darren halfway through, naturally curious, and asked repeatedly.

"It's nothing, it's nothing, it's just a distraction, and I forgot what to think." Darren hurriedly said nonsense, but saw a hint of understanding and regret in Hermione's eyes, oh, it seems that he said something wrong again.

Darren hurriedly managed to change the subject, "By the way, the stairs to the medical wing are ahead, what are you doing here?" ”

Hearing Darren's question, Hermione opened her mouth and couldn't speak, looking at Hermione's appearance, Darren suddenly felt that she shouldn't have come here purely to avoid me, without looking at the road at all! That's a real huh, but Darren feels strange in the bottom of his heart, as if something is starting to sprout.

After looking around, "If it's okay, let's go back to the common room, the windows here are all broken, and it's weirdly cold." ”

Hermione didn't speak, she lowered her head and followed Darren to the other side of the corridor, but when she turned around, Darren's eyes swept over the spiders again, and she always felt a little uneasy in her heart, but what.

Along the way, Darren and Hermione did not speak, just walked quietly forward, and when they approached the corner of the hallway, suddenly, Darren heard a grinding sound in the silent hallway, as if something hard and smooth was sliding on the ground, as if something behemoth was swimming in the dark.

At this moment, Darren suddenly thought of what that trace of uneasiness was, spiders leaving the castle were not necessarily attracted by something outside, but also something they were afraid of, something in the castle, a terrifying existence!

The spider will run away when it sees it, because it is the spider's sworn enemy!

For a moment, Darren felt the blood freeze all over his body, and involuntarily held his breath, although he didn't see anything in the hallway, an inexplicable intuition told him that on the other side of the corner, it was Salazar. The Basilisk that Slytherin left behind at Hogwarts, a monster that has lived for a thousand years!

Darren froze there, although he had experienced encounters with trolls and passed the level where the professors protected the Philosopher's Stone, but when he and the basilisk were cornered by a corridor, he found that it was not worth mentioning at all, although he had also imagined fighting the basilisk, but the idea was just an idea, and in the face of reality, no matter how beautiful the idea was, it was just a dream, just like now.

Darren never imagined that when he was about to face the basilisk, he would be like this, his whole body stiffened and unable to move because of fear, as if he was indirectly watched by the basilisk's gaze, even though he didn't even see the shadow of the basilisk.

Naturally, Hermione's strangeness was immediately noticed, and she wondered how Darren could suddenly stand still, "Why did you stop, Darren." ”

Without Darren's response, Hermione was a little surprised, turned her head to look at Darren, and was surprised to find that Darren was actually trembling, "What's wrong with you, are you uncomfortable?" ”

But at this time, Darren couldn't hear Hermione's voice at all, only the friction sound from the corridor in his ears, closer and closer, closer and closer, but he was like the legendary frog enchanted by the snake, although his body was still stiff, completely unable to move, quietly waiting for the arrival of death.

Slowly, Darren heard a voice that seemed to come from a far away, and there was a faint light in front of him, and his consciousness gradually became clearer, only to find that Hermione was holding a wand in front of his eyes, looking at him anxiously, constantly patting his body, and the voice was gradually recognizable, "...... What the hell is wrong with you? Speak quickly! ”

Perhaps because Hermione's attention was so focused on Darren that she didn't notice the grinding sound coming from the other side of the hallway, she naturally didn't see a huge shadow on the wall that was illuminated by the hallway lights.

Darren could see just above Hermione's shoulders that the top half of the shadow was raised tall and stretched forward, its huge, flat head split in half from the middle, and the gap was obviously its mouth, because it was filled with a vague shadow in the middle, and Darren knew that it was the shadow of the basilisk's teeth!

Darren seemed to see that in a few seconds, the basilisk would pass through the hallway, look directly at itself with its murderous eyes, and then stab Hermione's body with teeth with a deadly, even Horcrux-destroying venom, blood coming out of the basilisk's mouth, it was Hermione's blood......

"No!" Suddenly, the strength that appeared out of nowhere in Darren's body made him regain his movements, he grabbed Hermione's hand, turned around and ran backwards, "Follow me, run hard, don't look back!" ”

Hermione was confused by this sudden turn of events, and just subconsciously followed Darren, "What's wrong, what's going on?" ”

"There's a snake ahead...... Monsters, terrible monsters, big, it's chasing it, run! ”

Holding Hermione with one hand, Darren ran as hard as he could, he didn't know the speed of the basilisk, but he was still running forward, even though he was out of breath, he felt Hermione's pull getting bigger and bigger, and there was only this thought in his mind, "Run!" Run! Far away from that monster, it only needs to look at it, it will die by itself, it also has a huge body, terrifying power, poisonous teeth, can easily tear itself to pieces, run! Run! The basilisk is so scary, go tell the Professor, tell Dumbledore, tell everyone that the Chamber of Secrets has been opened again! ”
