Chapter 050 Blood Pact

"That thousand-year-old basilisk has become my pet, but it doesn't know who opened the entrance to the secret room." As soon as he returned, Snape went straight to the point, "If you don't believe me, you can call Potter to confront you!" ”

"I'm just a spectator!" Lucius grumbled angrily, "They almost all communicate in snake language the whole time!" ”

"I'm the only translator!" Catherine said innocently, "But the Headmaster, you can postpone the disclosure of the truth about the 'Chamber of Secrets', because as long as the professor doesn't agree, Douglas, the millennium basilisk, will no longer follow any of the snake-cavity orders." ”

"This is indeed very timely good news! Thank you very much! Now—" Dumbledore walked to the fireplace, "I need to go and announce the curfew at once!" Principal's Office! He immediately rushed into the green flames that had just burst out.

"How could he leave so lightly?" Lucius said incredulously.

"His most important thing now is to stop the rumors and make sure that no other forces can take advantage of the opportunity to reach into Hogwarts." Catherine smiled.

"It's time for you to go!" Snape gave the order to evict the passengers.

"I'll send the three of them back tomorrow morning!" Lucius shrugged and left the fireplace that had not yet been extinguished without any objection.

"Can I take a look at Douglas?" As soon as she saw Snape's glaring gaze, Catherine immediately pleaded in a soft voice.

"Humph!" Snape snorted in displeasure, but took the ring off his left hand and handed it to the girl.

The little silver snake was still pretending to be stupid, obviously frightened by Snape, and only dared to wink at Catherine.

"Huh?" Catherine suddenly exclaimed, "Why did its eyes turn green?" ”

"So that you don't attract suspicion." Snape said as he held out his left hand, ready to retrieve the ring.

"I'll put it on for you!" Catherine suddenly smiled brightly and quickly placed the ring on the ring finger of Snape's left hand.

"Kay—" Snape tried to stop the girl's prank, but suddenly felt a sharp pain in his left hand, followed by a strong feeling of vertigo.

"Professor! What happened to you? Catherine cried out in panic, not understanding how things could have come to this.

[It's a blood contract!] Enric shouted, "Merlin! Douglas is a thousand-year-old basilisk! 】

[Blood!] Catherine! Hurry up and get more blood! An Liwen shouted, "Otherwise, he will be sucked dry!" 】

Catherine immediately took out the dagger from her left ring and slashed through her right palm, gripped Snape's left hand, and then felt violently dizzy.

[Go to the Medical Wing!] Catherine shouted, unable to resist the potent potion of the water of life and death applied to the dagger, and collapsed into Snape's arms.

"Catherine!" Snape tried to catch her, but she knocked him down, and before he could hit the ground, he found his body dangling in the air, and he only had time to hold the girl tightly, and he smashed it onto a bed.

"O Merlin! Severus! What happened to Catherine? Madam Pomfrey, startled, ran over in a panic.

"It's a blood pact!" Snape fainted.

"Blood Pact! Fast! Get Dumbledore! Madam Pomfrey immediately shouted at the portrait on the wall.

At this time, Dumbledore had just lifted the curfew when he saw a portrait barging in and shouting, busily using the guò fireplace to go to the medical wing.

"Albus!" As soon as Madam Pomfrey saw his figure emerge from the fireplace, she asked aloud, "Do you know why they have blood deeds on them?" ”

"O Merlin! It's the thousand-year-old basilisk! When Dumbledore heard this, he immediately rushed to Snape's bedside, "Bobby, go get some blood!" ”

"I'll go to St. Mungo at once!" Before she could finish speaking, Madam Pomfrey rushed into the fireplace.

The Blood Pact is the highest contract between a wizard and a magical creature, and once signed, it means that both parties are completely integrated in spirit, strength, and life. Therefore, in general, unless they are small, such as Tracey, or if the wizard is very pleasing to the eye, adult magical creatures will not enter into such a contract with a wizard.

Because after the magical creatures became adults, they were generally not small, and wizards who had always been physically weak could not provide the amount of blood required by the blood contract, so Snape and Douglas only signed a "telepathic" contract at the beginning, who would have thought that the contract would be automatically upgraded.

Dumbledore didn't know how big Douglas was, but since he had lived for a thousand years, and he didn't know that Catherine had actually been stunned by his own dagger, he decided to donate his blood to help Snape.

But as soon as he rolled up his sleeves, a silver phantom emerged from Snape, revealing Douglas's massive five-foot-wide head, which was staring at Dumbledore with its large, lantern-sized yellow eyes.

"I just wanted to help!" Dumbledore said with a smile and took a step forward.

Douglas immediately opened his mouth wide and hissed.

"Am I not suitable?" Dumbledore asked cautiously.

Douglas closed his mouth and spat out the snake letter.

The fireplace suddenly burst into flames, and Madam Pomfrey rushed back from St. Mungo, and when she began the blood transfusion, Snape and Catherine's pale faces began to turn bloody, and Dumbledore and Pomfrey breathed a sigh of relief, dragging the other bed aside for the girl to lie down.

Dumbledore then announced a gag order on the matter in the name of the Headmaster, and temporarily closed the medical wing, and he was now only glad that the students who had been hospitalized had been discharged en masse in order to attend tonight's Halloween party.

The next morning, Catherine, whose powerful water of life and death had worn off, opened her eyes at six o'clock as usual, and finally she remembered what happened before she fell unconscious, and after seeing the ceiling of the medical wing, she didn't make a fuss, just sat up gently, and then saw Dumbledore and Madam Pomfrey sitting on the other two hospital beds, dozing off against the bed boards, and when Catherine was hesitating whether to wake them up, Douglas's avatar suddenly appeared from Snape.

[Catherine, if we want to merge forces, we must sleep for a while! Douglas said directly.

How long will it take? 】

【Let's do it for a week!】 With that, the avatar vanished, and the little silver snake left Catherine's palm and retracted back onto Snape's ring finger on his left hand.

"What does it say?" Dumbledore's voice interrupted Catherine's thoughts.

"It says Professor Snape needs to sleep for at least a week."

"Oh!" Dumbledore rubbed his eyes and asked, "Do you know why this is happening?" ”

Catherine clenched her right hand and shook her head.

"I've given a gag order about the blood pact, and the portraits and ghosts won't be publicized." Dumbledore pondered for a moment before saying, "Externally, we claim that Snape had a potions accident. ”

Madam Pomfrey nodded, and got up to move Snape's bed into a separate room.

"Let's go, Catherine," Dumbledore got up and walked over to the girl, "you should go back and get some rest." ”

"Hmm!" Catherine answered, heading straight back to Snape's office from the fireplace.

After finishing Dobby's breakfast, Catherine sat there in a daze until about eight o'clock, when Lucius sent Draco and them back to school.

"The professor had some accident and needed to stay in the medical wing for a week." As soon as they arrived, Catherine announced Dumbledore's statement.

As soon as Lucius heard this, he rushed to the medical wing through the guò fireplace, followed by Draco and Pansy and Blaise. Catherine did not follow, but sat there with her eyes closed until they returned.

"It's not a potions accident, is it?" As soon as Lucius emerged from the fireplace, he questioned Catherine.

"When the professor wakes up, you can ask him yourself." Catherine replied weakly, her eyes still closed.

"Uh-huh," Lucius snorted in displeasure, turning to the three children who followed him, "stay honest! Don't make trouble for your dean! ”

The three children nodded hurriedly, watching Lucius leave in a hurry.

"Catherine! What the hell is going on? Did that basilisk really get solved? As soon as Lucius's figure vanished, Draco ran up to the red-haired girl and asked, "Father only told us that it was taken in by the Dean!" ”

"It was because the dean took it that last night's accident happened." Catherine opened her eyes and said lazily, "But the school is not safe yet, and the basilisk doesn't know who called it out, so the basilisk will no longer threaten the safety of the students and cannot be made public, so as not to alarm that person, and the basilisk cannot be made public, so as not to cause panic among other students." ”

"What about Potter?"

"Headmaster Dumbledore will figure it out." Catherine closed her eyes again, "Now we need to speak in unison. ”

Because of the unanimous silence of the parties, the Basilisk did not spread, but the curfew that night, the "secret room" declaration that could not be wiped off the door of Myrtle's bathroom, and Snape's week-long stay in the hospital due to the "Potions Incident" still caused a lot of rumors in the school, although the students were glad that they did not have to be destroyed by the poisonous tongue of the Slytherin head for the time being.

It's not that no one asked a few of the students who didn't attend the party that night, but Harry and the three of them were confused, and Draco and the three of them all pushed it on Catherine, and Catherine, in order to take care of Snape, disappeared from class, and couldn't find anyone to ask.

Saturday's Quidditch match put the strange things that had happened in the past behind us for a while, it was a hot and humid day, and there was a faint sound of thunder in the air, as if it would rain at any moment, but this did not dampen the enthusiasm of the teachers and students for Quidditch, and only the medical wing of Hogwarts was still there and did not leave the castle.

"Aren't you going to watch the game?" Madam Pomfrey pushed open the door and asked Catherine, who was sitting on the edge of Snape's bed, holding his left hand and reading a book.

"It's been a week," Catherine looked up at Snape, who was still asleep, "the professor will wake up at any moment." ”

"How nice it would be if you really were Severus's daughter!" Madam Pomfrey walked over and stroked Catherine's hair gently, "so that he doesn't have to be left alone." ”

"Aren't I with him right now?" Catherine looked at the two of them shaking hands.
