The group looked ahead into the darkness, and Daphany cast a fluorescent spell. The surroundings suddenly lit up.

"Let's go!" Harry said, nodding Lockhart with his wand, "You go to the front!" ”

The footsteps of several people stepped on the wet ground, making a crackling sound, which was very noisy. This annoyed Daphany a little. At the same time, I began to think about how to deal with the situation in front of me. It seems like Harry was the only one in there, right? What's going on? Oh, it seems that Lockhart snatched Ron's wand, but Ron was a rotten wand at the time, and the magic bounced off the wall and collapsed.

Well, Lockhart doesn't seem to have a chance to grab his wand this time. Even if you grab it, it's a good wand. So what should I do about this?

Daphany walked at the end, thinking in secret, but heard Harry who walked to the front say, "Everyone have your glasses ready, and if there is any movement, put them on as soon as there is any movement." Or you can close your eyes. It's so nasty. It's so dark that you can't see anything with your sunglasses! ”

Everyone else responded, except for Lockhart, who complained that he didn't have sunglasses. But there was no more for Daphine. She only brought more than one pair, which she had given to Ron when she was in the library.

Everyone was cautious, but the tunnel was quiet, with no sound except for their own footsteps.

I don't know how long I walked, but suddenly there was a click. It seemed that Harry, who was walking ahead, stepped on something. Daphine widened the range of fluorescence. Immediately I saw the ground clearly, and it turned out that the ground was full of bones. Most of them are the bones of small animals. Well...... There are also some that are no longer considered small animals. Dafanie added an eagle eye to herself and found two centaur bones in the corner, but no human corpses were found.

Ron's face was terrible, and he clearly thought of something terrible, such as whether Ginny would become like this.

"We've got to hurry!" Ron said. Everyone but Lockhart nodded. Walked a little further, turning a dark bend. The group was all in unison.

In a clearing not far away, there is a behemoth! Although you can only see one outline, you can generally tell that it is a giant python. At this time, he was lying there, motionless.

The five of them were stunned for a moment. But Daphany soon realized that it wasn't a basilisk. There wasn't any magic or mental fluctuations on that guy's body. Daphine Nicolas has fought with the basilisk, and the magic fluctuations and elemental fluctuations on the basilisk are very amazing! Not only was there no magic and mental fluctuations in front of him, but there was no life at all.

"That'...... Is that a basilisk? Ron asked, his voice shaking.

"Are you asleep?" Draco said in the same vein. All three wore sunglasses hanging from the bridge of their noses, while Lockhart covered his eyes tightly.

"Don't scare yourself." Daphine walked up and raised her wand to make the glow brighter.

This time everyone saw it clearly. It was a giant snake moult. It's green and bright, and the color is very bright. According to the laws of nature, brightly colored things are often highly poisonous. Snakes generally fit this pattern very well. So this is definitely a molt of a highly venomous snake. It lay on the ground, empty inside. Visually, the guy who just shed this thing is at least fifty feet away.

"Oh my God......" Ron sighed physically. Draco on the side was also straight-eyed.

Daphany also wanted to say that in fact, when the basilisk was larger, she suddenly turned back thoughtfully. Sure enough, Lockhart quietly walked behind Ron while the attention of the four of them was focused on the super snake.

Just now, he unleashed a trace of magic fluctuation. Is it a deliberate attempt to get your own attention? Daphany didn't squeak.

The next moment, Lockhart pounced and threw Ron to the ground. Quickly snatched the wand from his hand and rolled on the spot.

"Ron!" Harry noticed the movement and turned around and exclaimed. Draco raised his wand to cast a spell on Lockhart.

Suddenly, however, Draco felt his mind wander. It's only a moment, but it's too late.

Lockhart rolled on the ground and quickly stood up. His movements at this time are faster than before, I don't know how many times. With Ron's wand in his hand, his characteristic smile on his face and his shiny teeth were bared.

"Kids, this is the end of your adventure!" "I'm going to take this leash to school," he said in a smug tone, and tell them that I was too late to save the girl, and that you will be sadly lost at the sight of her bloody corpse. That's right! Farewell to your memories! ”

He raised his wand high and shouted, "Forget it!" “

"Curse Return!" Daphany struck quickly. An invisible shield appeared in front of several people. The Oblivion spell hits the shield, but there is no magic backlash. Lockhart's spell hit the shield of the Reflection Spell, and it exploded!

It was no less powerful than a small bomb, and there was a violent roar in the dark corridor.

Harry covered his head with his arms and ran away, next to him Draco, who was also covering his head. The two of them ran through the giant snake in one go, successfully dodging the large pieces of rubble that had collapsed from the tunnel ceiling to the ground.

However, when the two of them stopped to look back, they were faced by a thick wall of rubble.

"Ron, Daphany, are you all right?" Harry ran to the wall, shouting.

"Cousin, are you alright?" Draco shouted just as loudly.

"I'm fine, but the other two aren't good!" From behind the gravel wall came Daphany's muffled voice: "Ron fell and fainted. Professor Lockhart appears to have been stoned...... Also dizzy. ”

"What now?" Draco looked at the stone wall and said depressedly, "We can't get by, and neither can you." Cousin, can you break through this stone wall? ”

"Not so easy! I'll try! Daphine's voice came, followed by a roar from the opposite side, and after a moment Dephany said helplessly: "No, the walls are thick!" "Zero Long Literature Network

"Can't waste any more time here!" Harry said eagerly, "Ginny can't wait too long, we need to hurry!" With that, he glanced at Draco, who was also looking at him. Draco nodded as Harry looked over.

"Daphine, you're here, trying to clear this wall. Draco and I continued on our way. If we don't come back in an hour......" Harry said, pausing for a long time before saying, "See you later!" ”

After that, the two of them walked briskly towards the tunnel.

The other side of the wall.

Daphany took her wand and turned her head to look at Lockhart, who was standing on the side, with his hands down, and Ron, who was lying on the side, unconscious: "It's not the best situation, but it's not bad. Right? Professor? ”

"Ahh What are you talking about? Lockhart pretended to be puzzled: "Why, you want to knock that little guy unconscious, and why did you say that I fainted too, hehehehe...... So, can I go? ”

"Okay, okay, don't pretend! Thank you, Professor, for helping me stop the basilisk earlier! Daphne waved her hand and said with a smile. The explosion just now can be said to have been caused by her and Lockhart's team-up. Lockhart's Memory Charm is a failed spell that causes an explosion whenever it hits something. Apparently Lockhart had already intended to isolate Harry and let Harry move on on to himself.

Daphany and Lockhart share the same idea, and her spell return also has an explosive effect. As a result, the explosion exploded. The explosion caused a small part of the collapse, and Daphne quietly gave Ron a high-intensity stun spell as the rubble fell. Ron fainted without any reaction. Then she was pulled aside by Dafanie.

If there was one surprise to Daphany, it was Draco who followed. But this is a minor problem, and Daphany feels that the first thing to solve is the problem of the pretentious Lockhart.

"Ahh What do you say? Lockhart pretended to be puzzled by Daphany's words, and smiled in a panicked but forced composure.

"Do you want me to get your wand back and do a flashback spell?" The corners of Daphany's mouth were slightly hooked, and she asked with a smile.

Lockhart was stunned for a moment, and the originally exaggerated smile on his face was suppressed by his might. An interested smile appeared, "Headmaster Dumbledore said you were a funny little guy. But I didn't expect it to be so interesting! ”

"Oh? Is it finally time to show your true face? Dephany said with a smile, then pointed to the wand in his hand, "Get your own guy first, or won't it be unpleasant?" ”

"That's right!" Lohart nodded, and gently waved the wand in his hand: "The wand is flying!" Then he looked at Daphany and waited for her to speak.

"Long story short!" Daphany smiled and said, "I still have to chase Harry and the two of them as soon as possible, but I can't delay here for too long." Seeing Lohart nodding, Daphany continued to ask, "Your true identity shouldn't be just a family, right?" ”

"It's actually a home," Lockhart laughed, "but it might be a little special." Well, let's talk about the most special place. I'm a student at Grindelwald! ”

"Oh?" Daphne was a little surprised, and this statement was unexpected: "But, aren't you a student of Ravenclaw?" ”

"That's right," Lohar nodded, "and after I graduated, I went to work in Newmengard, and then I got to know my teacher. Studied with him for a long time! Later, I traveled around the world with a few friends and wrote a book about our adventures. Well......" Lockhart seemed a little embarrassed at this point: "Because, I have the best face, so those guys, you must let me be the image representative, saying that this is how the book can sell well." Well, well, I'm actually pretty proud of that......"

Daphany listened with a confused expression.

At this moment, a sharp sound of breaking wind was heard, and the next moment, a wand flew from far and near. Lockhart raised his hand to catch it. Holding it in his hand and waving it gently: "Alas, it's still an old friend!" ”

"So, why did you come to teach at Hogwarts?" Daphany continued.

"I'm dying!" Lockhart said with a smile.

"What?" Daphany looked incredulous, because Lockhart didn't mean to die in the slightest as he looked like he was.

"Cancer, terminal." Lockhart's smile was still hearty: "This disease is famous in the Muggle world, and it is incurable. But it's not just Muggles, mages don't have much to do about it. ”

Daphne was shocked, she didn't expect it to be like this, and she was slightly sad.

"This is retribution, the retribution of youth and frivolity!" Lockhart was still smiling, but a hint of sadness flashed in his eyes: "My magic is stronger, and it will last a little longer." My friends were all ahead of me. ”

"It's all cancer?" Daphany frowned slightly, realizing that something didn't seem right.

"Very sharp!" Lockhart shook his head with a smile and said helplessly: "Yes, it's all cancer." But unlike ordinary cancer, several of us are actually cursed! ”

"Cursed?" Daphne was a little surprised, curses were extremely ancient forms of magic. The cursed magic of ancient times is not one in a hundred.

"Yes, cursed ......" Lockhart shook his head, "My companions and I went on an adventure in Egypt the year before last and entered a pyramid of ancient pharaohs. The pharaoh didn't know if he was a skilled sorcerer or if he had a powerful sorcerer priest by his side. In short, the pyramids were subjected to a terrible curse. We didn't find out at the time, but when we came out, the local archmages told us that we were cursed. Over the next two years, my companions passed away from cancer. My magic is the strongest, so I've survived until now. ”

Speaking of this, Lockhart rubbed his face and smiled again: "In the last days, I would have liked to go back to my teacher for the rest of my life. But Professor Dumbledore approached me and asked me to do him a favor and train Harry. I'm going to die anyway, if I can help the teacher...... Well, old friend, the last days are not wasted. ”

"Femdom Harry? Didn't notice what you taught? Daphany looked odd.

"Well, Professor Dumbledore's request is a bit odd." Lockhart gave a quirky, somewhat awkward smile, "He wants me to make Harry understand." What a terrible thing it is to indulge in useless fame. After all, the boy who doesn't die in calamity is really a bit famous......"
