"Ahem~ahem...... Burst. ”

It felt like a long, long, even century, when Brandy, who had been dragged ashore like a dead dog by Ron, finally regained consciousness, and with a twitch, he quickly turned his head to the side and began to cough violently, squirting out a few mouthfuls of salt soda that had been stuck in his trachea. The water in this room was probably brought in from the large lake near the castle...... Because he felt like he was spitting out some small shrimp that were still alive.

Luckily, though, it was at least a little more acceptable to Brandi than life in the castle.

……… The cold, muddy air with the heavy smell of blood finally re-entered Brandi's lungs, and he breathed greedily, slumping back on the cold floor, his tense nerves completely relaxed.

The basilisk must be dead, Brandy thought lazily. He vaguely remembered that when he fell from the statue, he even used the strength to feed, and if it weren't for the fact that his arm was obviously much thicker than the eye socket, he would have reached in and pulled it out directly.

"Brandi, Brandi!"

Ron shouted eagerly from beside him, and a pair of hands nudgled his body a few times. But Brandi was so tired that he didn't even want to open his eyes. Now he just wants to lie down for a while and get a good rest.

The owner of the hand didn't seem to intend to let him get his wish, and as if finding that a simple push didn't work, Ron's hand retracted. Brandi heard the voices of the people around him.

"No, he still can't wake up...... That cough just now may have been just an instinctive reaction. ”

Ron's tone was very serious. "Why don't we just leave him here? Wait a moment to get back to the ground, and then ask the professors to come down and pick him up. ”

"That's not going to work." Harry objected resolutely, a hissing inhale in his voice, and it was clear that the feeling of his knee shattering was not kind to him. "God knows what evil else is going to be here...... Besides, he had just fallen into the water with the basilisk and drank so much water, and there was basilisk blood in it! God knows if it's toxic! We've got to take him back with us. ”

"But what do we do? The only ones who can still move around normally are me and the professor, you, Brandy, and Neville, who hasn't moved until now...... How could the two of us lift three people! Unless Brandi can wake up by now. ”

"Speaking of which, I know a lot of good ways to wake up a drowning person." Lockhart's voice returned to its original light and playful at this time, and Lockhart, who seemed to be a rare man, truly experienced a feeling of being a hero.

"I don't know if you've ever heard of a magical trick that is circulating in Muggles? Call... Not... cpr? He mysteriously lowered his voice, "It is said that he has saved many lives." ”

“cpr? I've been with my Muggle uncle for twelve years, but how come I haven't heard of that thing? Harry said curiously.

"Oh, otherwise it would have been so magical, but it just so happened. A wizard friend of mine who I met in Russia happened to teach me this magic healing, should we try it? ”

"Isn't it going to be troublesome...... Ron and I don't know anything about this. ”

At this time, Lockhart let out a barbell-like laugh. His voice was lower, and it sounded like he was whispering next to Harry and Ron's ears, so much so that Brandi didn't hear what they were saying. It can only be detected from Ron's exclamation that this technique is not simple......

"Merlin is on top!" Ron's voice was full of oddity. "It's such a terrible method, I only know now that doing this kind of thing has such a miraculous effect, no wonder my parents are so tired of being crooked all day."

"Ah, don't say it, it's disgusting to think about." Harry said awkwardly.

"Now it's saving people, it's a sacred job." Lockhart gave a rare serious look, "Do you want to make Brandi come to his senses!" ”

What are they talking about...... Brandi was starting to get a little curious.

"Okay then." Ron's reluctant voice came out, "So how do we divide the work?" ”

"You must be holding it down, Harry's knees are like that, he can't get down on his knees. You have to force it, and my friend emphasized this point very much, and he said to press down 5... Uh, 5 inches? ”

He seemed a little unsure of what kind of unit his friend was talking about.

"5 inches?!" Ron's voice sounded surprised. "Will he be fine?"

"Don't worry, how many years have Muggles used this set...... Then I was in charge of blowing and believe me, I blew out 9 candles in one breath at another birthday party! Harry's words, just watch from the side, don't worry, the credit for saving people will definitely be shared with you! ”

As Lockhart said this, Brandi felt someone kneeling next to his head.

Save? It is associated with pressing down and holding down, and blowing again. Coupled with the sudden pair of hands pressed on his broken sternum, Brandi suddenly had a bad premonition. His water-soaked brain finally brightened up, and he remembered the ill-intentioned introduction of CPR by the health and physical education teacher in elementary school to the beautiful girls in the class! Isn't that CPR?

What are you kidding, 5 inches of chest compressions? Is Lockhart trying to crush himself into a pie...... Wait a minute, blow? Blow?!

There was a terrible chill, the exhaustion and pain in his body seemed to be eliminated in an instant, he opened his eyes in horror, he didn't think about it, subconsciously he rolled over and narrowly avoided Lockhart's terrible big mouth that was pouted, and watched him kiss him on the ground in a cold sweat.

it! Brandi, who was covered in goosebumps, cried out for luck.

"Heh, it looks good, doesn't it?" Lockhart stood up from the ground triumphantly, bragging shamelessly. "Before the ceremony was even completed, Brandi had already come to his senses, and what my Japanese friend said was true, and it would only be effective if I kissed it sincerely."

…… So what kind of occupation is your Japanese friend who kisses and hits his chest when he doesn't agree with each other!

Brandi's head full of black lines.

The four of them probably exchanged the situation, and Harry and Ron were able to completely clear up the whole process, according to Lockhart, he was only provoked by Brandy's words before leaving, and considering that he really couldn't get out of the bathroom, so after Brandi and Ron went down for a while, he had the courage to jump in. And when he cautiously groped his way to the door of the secret room...... A burst of light erupted inside, and he squinted his eyes to see inside, but was surprised that a wand was sent to him by a levitation charm.

So he gritted his teeth and walked in with his wand. After trembling past the blind basilisk and coming to the platform, he heard what Brandy had specifically emphasized about the so-called weakness Lockhart was a little wasteful, but it didn't mean that he was a fool, and he quickly understood what Brandi wanted him to do.

"I said, Professor, where did you get your wand when you came with us, you confiscated it...... I was shot away. Harry took the wand from Lockhart, and the three of them thanked him earnestly. I'm sorry for doing you so much before, Professor. You saved our lives. ”

Lockhart was stunned.

He has received countless flowers, applause, and even fanatical worship and affectionate eyes. But none of those seem to be as grateful and apologetic as the three students in front of them now? A little bit, he seemed to understand the true meaning of the so-called hero.

He couldn't help but smile smugly.

…… Sure enough, Lockhart is still Lockhart after all. Even if it's a little more reliable than the original......

Brandi and the three looked at each other amusefully, grinning.

After such a dangerous and terrible event, the distance between Brandy and Lockhart seemed to have suddenly narrowed. Brandi and Ron were holding Harry, who couldn't walk on his own, while Lockhart volunteered to run to carry Neville, who was still unconscious, and as he was blowing about his awesome way to save Hogwarts from danger and carrying Neville to his shoulder, a black broken notebook fell out of Neville's pocket.

Brandi and the three of them had shocked looks on their faces at the same time.

"Professor, stay away from that thing!" Harry hurriedly warned, "That journal is the culprit of this secret room. ”

"What?" Lockhart, who had just boasted of his fearlessness, was beaten back to his prototype the next moment, and he jumped backwards with Neville on his back in a panic, as if the journal could have jumped up and eaten him.

"Harry, burn it, God knows if Riddle's memory has been erased."

Harry nodded, and he raised his wand. The blazing fireball exploded in the journal in a surprising way, and the fire spell seemed to have no effect at all. Once again, Harry, who was unbelievers, used the Splitting, Burning, and Crushing Charms. But no matter how he attacked, the diary was still intact on the bombed pitted floor.

"This thing's spell can't be broken...... he lowered his wand solemnly, "Riddle is right, he's really not defeated, and I bet he's hiding in this heavily guarded diary right now, trying to gather strength." ”

"So what do we do now? Throw it in here? ”

Brandi shook his head, and he stepped forward, bending down with difficulty, and tucking it into his pocket. Feeling everyone's worried eyes, he smiled confidently.

"Don't worry, a Riddle can't help me."

They returned to the tunnel, and in case something terrible could come out of the basilisk, Harry stared at the badly broken door and barely closed it with a parseltongue. They walked through the snakeskin and down the tunnel for a long time, until they finally returned to the entrance to the water pipe. Looking up, Brandi could even see the ceiling of the myrtle bathroom......

"How do we get up?" It was Lockhart who said this, "If my wand were still around, maybe I could still say a flying charm, but for now"

"Yes, yes, yes~" The three people who were used to Lockhart's bragging and not typing drafts nodded solemnly. "Maybe we can call someone into the bathroom first, maybe a rope will pull us up."

Thinking like this, Ron, who was full of energy, began to yell outside, not to mention, this is really effective.

Far away, a milky white head peeked out of a narrow exit.

Feeling the subtle gaze from his companion behind him, Brandi felt something wrong.
