"Hmm...... Say something. Harry took Ron in one hand and pressed the weight of his body over it, then reached out with his other hand and stabbed Brandi in the waist. That expression is reminiscent of George and Fred when they see the big dung eggs.

"Why me?" Brandi lowered his voice, his face full of reluctance.

"Why...... Don't you see myrtle's eyes glowing when you see them! Your blood-soaked and sloppy appearance must be handsome in her eyes. Lockhart sat next to him and explained.

Harry and Lockhart looked at each other, probably never feeling that they were so compatible. So the two hit it off and pushed him from behind, and Brandi staggered and came to Myrtle.

Brandi was stunned for a moment, then spoke awkwardly.

"Uh, myrtle...... You seem to be happy? ”

"Happy?"

Myrtle's eyes widened and she looked at him aggrievedly. "What stupid are you talking about, Brandi. I'm so sad that I'm about to cry now, how can I be happy......"

Although she didn't know what she was upset about, Brandi subconsciously thought that she seemed to need to comfort her, but his hand had just been raised, and Myrtle twisted and finished the second half of the sentence.

"If you're not dead, who's going to share the toilet bowl with me?"

…… I'm so sorry I didn't die. Brandi struggled to keep his face on the floor, automatically filtering the laughter of eating behind him.

Of course, although there was a little episode in the middle that made Brandi not very pleasant, the request for help from Myrtle was unexpectedly answered. She patted her chest proudly, her face turned silvery white with shyness, and then under the watchful eyes of the four people, she jumped into the tube Brandi They immediately understood why Myrtle was smiling so hard when she appeared just now, this tube also seemed to be attached to the magic of repelling ghosts, and the moment Myrtle got in, she began to bounce around like a 3D dynamic pinball...... Maybe for a ghost who doesn't have any sense of touch, it excites her? Probably like a pirate ship or a roller coaster?

Myrtle's nervous screams were gone, but silence still hadn't been restored in the tunnel.

"Haha! Brandi, I think Myrtle has a crush on you! Ron hugged Harry, and the laughter that the two of them had forced to hold back was finally released, especially Harry, who was laughing as he inhaled in the pain of the nerves he was pulling. Pain and happiness are probably the same expression he has now. "You see the way she just lowered her head, just like a new wife."

"Oh, stop talking...... I'm going to cry. ”

After laughing for a while, Brandi changed his mind and finally got down to business.

"What are we going to do when we get up......" he glanced at Lockhart worriedly. Come to think of it, the Professor told Professor McGonagall that he had volunteered to come down and kill the basilisk. But what's going on with us? Violating school rules and leaving the lounge in the middle of the night and following the professor to make it more difficult for him? Professor McGonagall wasn't as talkative as Professor Dumbledore, she was notoriously business-like! Then we might really get expelled! ”

Hearing Brandi's words, Lockhart's expression was full of astonishment, and he pointed to himself in confusion. "Me? Voluntarily come down and kill the basilisk? ”

The three of them nodded as a matter of course. "That's right, that's not what you promised Professor McGonagall at the time. That's the best excuse ever! ”

"But actually......" Lockhart's lips trembled and he couldn't speak, he knew what kind of weight he had in the whole fight. He didn't even dare to look at the basilisk except for finally defeating the strange Slytherin heir with a powerful Oblivion Charm that he was proud of under Brandy's guidance...... But according to Brandy, they seem to want to give themselves the credit for killing the basilisk?

Seeing the look on Lockhart's face, Brandi and the others looked at each other amusedly, something they had thought about when they were cleaning up the mess in the back room.

"Professor." Brandi said sincerely, "While we did resent you for taking advantage of someone else's heroic deeds, you still mustered up the courage at the last minute and gave Riddle the final blow. If it weren't for you, the three of us would have died by now, and you saved our lives. At this point, we can't bear to see the hero who saved us end up with a bad reputation. ”

"But......," Lockhart wanted to say. In the past, he would have liked to see this kind of pie-in-the-sky thing, but now he found that he was reluctant in his heart!

"And we have a purpose for that too." Brandi winked at him and made a gesture of mercy. "In a while, Professor, you have to say good things for us, and it's up to you whether the three of us can escape! And... That's right... We need you to help us, no, a great favor for the whole of Hogwarts. ”

Brandi's eyes rolled and he whispered to Lockhart about the idea he had come up with on a spur of the moment...... He looked quite moved. "That's it? That's too hasty, isn't it...... I can't guarantee that it will work. ”

"Hey, don't worry." For some reason, Brandi's smile at this moment suddenly reminded Harry and Ron of Hermione. "You're underestimating your energy, it's beyond your imagination! This is a wealth of experience that I have accumulated~"

Harry and Ron began to look confused as Brandi and Lockhart gathered together in a lively atmosphere, discussing what they seemed to understand...... Time passed quickly.

They heard a sound coming from inside the pipe at the same time, and Harry almost subconsciously jumped up, how could he play the standing long jump on his leg, and sat on the ground with a painful butt. But just like that, he still shouted loudly: "It's the sound of a broomstick, the professors are here!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, several worn-out broomsticks whizzed out of the tube, nearly knocking Brandi and Lockhart out of the front. But the man's flying skills were apparently solid, and the broomstick stopped in front of the tip of Brandi's nose, which was about to dodge...... A voice familiar after a long time rang out.

"Oh! Thank goodness kids. None of you had an accident! Mrs. Hooch covered her mouth with her hands, her face as pale as Neville on Lockhart's back at the moment. When Professor Flitwick found me, I thought he was crazy, how could three children follow Gildelow into the secret room to face a basilisk! You're all okay|"

She spoke quickly, worried eyes sliding over Harry's lame leg and Brandy's bloodied robes.

"Merlin is on top... Porter, Barton... Maybe you two can sit with me and Gildelow on a broomstick? ”

"Oh, no, Mrs. Hooch!" Harry couldn't wait to say, "I can do it myself." ”

"I forgot, you don't need my help with your flying talent...... Then Barton, sit behind me...... Wrap your arms around my waist! We're going to fly upwards in a moment! What a shyness! ”

Well, Mrs. Hodge's resoluteness doesn't seem to have diminished at all.

As it turned out, if he didn't control it, flying was actually a rather exciting experience for Brandy, with the cold air currents blowing through his hair, and he felt the feeling of flying high against gravity with his eyes closed (although he couldn't see anything even when he opened them).

He's never flown this high!

But soon, when the journey was over, their eyes lit up, and they saw the damp, moldy ceiling of the myrtle bathroom above, and they fell. At this time, Brandi and the others suddenly realized that the early morning sun had spilled into the bathroom, and the night was over.

A round of applause and cheers erupted from all around them.

The bathroom was full of people, ghosts and professors. Professor McGonagall stood at the front, her tense face completely iron-blue, and the momentum that was not angry but made Brandy shrink her neck. Seeing the five men returning safely, Professor McGonagall's face twitched a few times, and she seemed to be about to get angry

But she couldn't say it after all.

Under Brandi's surprised gaze, tears rolled down his red eyes. Professor McGonagall cried.

"Severus, take them to the school hospital first. I've hired two healers from St. Mungo, and I'll let Gildero say the things in the Chamber of Secrets later, Merlin bless, it's great, no one has lost their lives...... That's great. ”

Professor McGonagall leaned on Mrs. Hooch's shoulder, hiding her face and weeping. The noise stopped, and the people slowly made way for Brandi and them.

Even Snape, who usually spews venom indiscriminately, couldn't say anything to spoil the atmosphere at this time. He walked up to Brandi and the others, his eyes filled with mixed feelings.

He gave Harry a deep look. "Let's go."

………… Until they were taken to the school hospital, Snape did not utter a single word of mockery.

"I thought Professor McGonagall was going to give us a hard lecture first!" After being tossed around by the therapists, Brandi was finally able to lie comfortably on the hospital bed, he was now covered in bandages, almost like a mummy. Harry and Ron sat next to him, the doctor of St. Mungo, it was really not blowing, that skill was indeed much higher than that of Madam Pomfrey, Harry's knee was restored in less than a minute, only Ron was still on the back of his head, and the bruise was not so easy to let go.

"After all, after Dumbledore was kicked out, Professor McGonagall was under a lot of pressure...... She sees every student as her own child, especially us. Harry said with a sigh, remembering the conversation between the professors in the staff lounge. Thankfully, we not only defeated the basilisk, but we came back alive to be honest, and when I jumped into the pipe, I was stupidly thinking that we would die together. As it turned out, if you hadn't managed to design and kill the basilisk half-crippled, we wouldn't even have the qualifications to die. ”

"yes, if the basilisk had both eyes, my protective charm wouldn't have lasted that long." Brandi said with trepidation, "It didn't feel good, it was like being stuffed into a fully enclosed iron box...... Hermione and Parvati must have been particularly miserable at the time......"

"Speaking of which!" Ron suddenly remembered, "Isn't petrification only possible by looking at the basilisk's eyes through something, what did Hermione rely on to stare directly into the basilisk's eyes and not die?" ”

"About that." Brandi hesitated, and he struggled out of bed and walked out of the room. "If I'm right......"

They arrive at the room where the attacker is housed, and see Hermione at a glance. In the midst of Ron and Harry's bewildered gazes, Brandi stepped forward and reached for her waist.

"Hey! What are you doing here? Harry exclaimed next to him.

Brandi didn't stop, he lifted Hermione's robes and ripped off the blue cloth bag that hung from her waist. He untied the string at the mouth of the bag...... Pour the contents into your hands.

Tiny fragments, sprinkled like eggshells all over his palms. Brandi looked at the fragments of the dragon's scales, and he let out a long sigh of relief.

Good thing you've always had you with you, Hermione. We're almost going to lose you......
