Chapter 234: Dealing with the Basilisk
The next day, in the afternoon, at the Gryffindor table, Harry looked at Ivan, who was a little absent-minded, and asked curiously.
"Ivan, did you catch Dobby last night?"
"Of course, but Dobby has already lost it," Ivan nodded, then spoke.
Harry was surprised to put down his knife and fork, and looked around to see that no one was paying attention to this side, so he asked in a low voice. "So what are we going to do?"
"Don't worry, I'll find the guy as soon as I can," Ivan said reassuringly.
When Harry saw Ivan say this, he was immediately relieved.
In fact, Ivan is also suffering from this, there are so many people in the school, and the Horcruxes are easy to hide, trying to find the person who has obtained the Horcreature is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.
After dinner, Ivan refused Harry's request and went to the abandoned girls' bathroom alone.
Maka, who had been watching here for a long time, flew over quickly when she saw Ivan arrive.
"Has anyone been here before? Maca? Ivan asked, who shook his head.
Ivan breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that Tom didn't have it so easy to confuse someone, at least not in just a few days.
As early as the day of the Horcrux's disappearance, Ivan had his owl focus on the corridor outside the girls' bathroom, and would report to him as soon as he saw someone coming in or heard any other movement.
People can also hide with the illusion charm, and this is the only way to enter the secret room.
In order to enter it, it is necessary to open this entrance, and the movement caused during this time cannot be hidden from the owl with a keen sense of hearing.
So as long as you keep an eye on this place, sooner or later you will be able to catch the person who took the Horcrux...
Of course, this premise is that he can dispose of the basilisk before he can set it as a trap!
Otherwise, the other party and the basilisk will flank him together...
After all, Tom Riddle has a lot more control over the basilisk than he does now...
It's bad for him!
"Hiss~ (Open!) Ivan uttered a snake language to the entrance mechanism, and with a jolt, the passage slowly opened, and then jumped down and entered.
When he came to the secret room again, Ivan was already familiar with the road.
However, Ivan did not let his guard down, and was always on guard against accidents, until he confirmed that the basilisk was still obediently staying in the lair with the Divine Guardian, and then he was finally relieved.
"Speak to me, Slytherin, the greatest of the Hogwarts Four." Ivan spoke and opened the door to the basilisk's lair.
The basilisk quickly responded to the call and crawled out of the mouth of the Slytherin statue, snaking its massive body and its hideous head in front of Ivan, spitting out letters.
"Hiss~ (Eat... Eight-Eyed Giant Spider... )”
Ivan didn't expect the basilisk to remember this all the time, so he spoke. "Take me to the lab again, I'll have to look at the materials again, and then I'll take you to eat the eight-eyed giant spider..."
The basilisk nodded, agreed, and leaned down to take Ivan into the lair as he had done last time.
"Can I take some of your blood then, if I need to study it?" Ivan asked suddenly.
The basilisk didn't speak, and with a large mouth full of fangs, he roared at Ivan for a while, his bulb-sized eyes revealing murderous intent...
While the first two controllers had taken blood from it more than once, it was based on its inability to resist.
The Parseltongue of the little wizard in front of him did not have such a powerful force to force it to obey orders.
Ivan was silent, he still had a glimmer of expectation for the basilisk, thinking that after fusing the snake's blood, he would be able to have a powerful helper.
Unfortunately, the loss of the Horcrux has turned the basilisk from a help to a threat again!
It was the last chance he gave the basilisk, but the other party obviously looked very unappreciative.
In this regard, Ivan can only say sorry... His improved potion can be boiled in these three days, and today's blood collection is just right!
"I hope those eight-eyed spiders can be a little more powerful... It's also a magical creature, with a whole nest... No matter how bad it is, you can make the basilisk eat it! Ivan muttered to himself, then changed his expression and soothed the basilisk in snake language, telling it to take him to the research room first.
He needs to get some useful information out first...
lest you have to climb up on your own next time...
......
In the middle of the night, on the shore of the lake at Hogwarts, a long black shadow passed quickly under the water, and the fish in the water fled in terror, causing waves of water...
In the middle of the bang, a flattened and huge head came out of the water, and Ivan, who was lying on it, coughed with difficulty.
"As I thought, there was always a pipe that led directly to here, but the sewer smell was a little too bad." Ivan jumped off the head of the basilisk, looked at the dense black woods around him, and said with emotion.
"Hiss~ (I smell them!) The basilisk began to stir, and it smelled the enticing fragrance again, and there were many, many of them...
Ivan didn't stop him anymore, and let the eight-eyed giant spider roam in the Forbidden Forest and start its hunting plan!
Inevitably injuring Hagrid, who often came to the Forbidden Forest, or the horses who stayed in the Forbidden Forest, Ivan chose to start in the early hours of the morning, when most intelligent beings were sleeping.
Moreover, Ivan had roughly judged the location of Aragog's lair from the route of the spider's escape from the school, and the place of entry was near here.
The possibility of being seen was minimized, and if this could be bumped into by some unlucky guy, Ivan could only say sorry.
It didn't take long for the basilisk to successfully find the nest of the eight-eyed giant spider with its keen sense of smell, and excitedly went straight into it.
The eight-eyed spiders were apparently unaware of the basilisk's surprise attack, or had sensed it but had not yet had time to escape, and the sound of the basilisk biting its prey suddenly sounded in the lair.
Immediately after that, countless small spiders poured out of the cave, all of them were ordinary spiders crawling in the castle for refuge, and they probably didn't expect the basilisk to kill them directly into their lair.
However, it is precisely because of their small size that they can't see the eyes of the basilisk at all, and the basilisk has no interest in eating them, so it is safe.
Ivan stood outside the door, looking at the five buttons in his hand, and had to say that the fifth-level transformation spell had been completely deformed, so that he could easily turn the five roosters into buttons and carry them directly by his side.
"I think it's about the same." Ivan waited a lot, noticed that the movement inside was getting smaller and smaller, and then slowly walked into the cave**, and the Patronus was around him, as his eyes.
