Chapter 48: Preparation for the Snake Slayer
"Damn, it's really all come together!" Ning Yuan thought helplessly on the way back to the castle.
The previous year's holiday was busy with the strategic deployment of Voldemort's extermination plan, and Voldemort was by his side, so Dumbledore had no intention of solving the basilisk in the secret room for the time being, anyway, people without a parseltongue would definitely not be able to enter the secret room, and they would not be able to drive the basilisk. The basilisk that no one drives will not run out for no reason, more than a thousand years have passed, and there is no danger in it, just watch and don't let the Horcruxes flow into the campus or let Voldemort have a chance to release the basilisk.
After Voldemort failed again and escaped from Hogwarts, everyone couldn't get out of their hands because of some things such as caves and corpses, so this safety hazard has not been solved until now.
Besides, it is not suitable for students to take action against the basilisk while they are in school, after all, this thing has lived in Hogwarts for nearly a thousand years, and I am afraid that all the pipes in the small interior are clear, if it can't be killed in one fell swoop and let it escape from the secret room, it will be too dangerous, not everyone will be as lucky as the victims in the novel, but indirectly see the snake eyes petrified.
Therefore, according to Ning Yuan and Dumbledore's plan, it should have been solved on Christmas this semester, anyway, the Horcrux Ning Yuan has been handed over to Nick Lemay, there will be no Horcruxes to confuse the students anymore, Voldemort himself is still in the Albanian forest, and it will be too late then, who would have thought that this little of fate would be so ruthless, shameless and vexatious!
Fortunately, there have been no accidents yet, so they still have some time to prepare, so he rushed to the principal's office in a hurry, and notified the four deans on the way, after all, this is a matter in the school, and it is also about the secret room left by the Big Four, plus to destroy the basilisk, it also needs the cooperation of the four deans, and he has to talk to them both public and private.
When he arrived at the Headmaster's office to explain the situation, Dumbledore and the four Headmasters, who had hurried to the headmaster's office, told him what had happened.
"Merlin, a basilisk is ...... in the school," Hufflepuff Head Pomona Sprout clutched her chest, and the Hufflepuff common room was in the basement, very close to where the basilisk lived.
The abbot of Ravenclaw, Philius Flitwick, was surprised by the existence of the basilisk, but was interested in the Slytherin Chamber and the basilisk that had theoretically lived for thousands of years.
Severus Snape, the head of Slytherin, had a dark face and didn't know what he was thinking.
However, Gryffindor's headmaster, Minova McGonagall, was just as shocked as Sprout, in addition to the Slytherin Chamber and the Basilisk, Harry Potter was actually a parseltongue.
After all, the truth is in the hands of a few people, and now in this world, there are only four people who know that Harry is a Horcrux, and there are not many estimates who know the Potter family and admire the relationship between the Lear family and the Slytherin family, but it is estimated that Ning Yuan is the only one who knows that all the bloodlines of wizards originate from Merlin.
"That's the way it is! The basilisk didn't know why it woke up from its slumber, although it couldn't open the door of the secret room without the Parseltongue, but the basilisk could reach any location in Hogwarts through the pipes inside the walls of Hogwarts, which was too dangerous, it was planned that we should solve this problem during this year's Christmas holidays, who knows......" Dumbledore sighed, more and more pressure has been pressing on him in recent days, whether it is Voldemort, the biggest trouble in the wizarding world at this stage, or the potential threat that has been sealed, Or the basilisk now, but thankfully, at least it's not bad, and there's room for remedy.
"Albus, do we need to notify the Ministry of Magic now, and then let the children leave the school temporarily, after all, the basilisk is too dangerous!" Professor McGonagall hesitated, not because he was afraid that the Ministry of Magic would take the opportunity to meddle in the school's affairs, but because Harry was a parseltongue......
Dumbledore hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "Not for the time being, we can let the children temporarily take a dueling lesson to a room where the basilisk will never arrive, and then we can take the opportunity to deal with the basilisk!" ”
"But Albus......" Professor McGonagall wanted to say something, but swallowed Dumbledore's determined expression and said nothing.
"But, in the school room, how can you be sure that the basilisk will not get in, Dumbledore, has your brain finally been corrupted by syrup? For the sake of a Potter to put the whole school in danger, ha, the Potter family actually has a parseltongue, maybe this is another trick for him to earn eyes! "Snape was squirting venom as always, Lily was killed by Voldemort, and Voldemort, a Slytherin descendant, was the only parseltongue in the world today, and if Harry, or the Potter family, really had Slytherin blood, then Snape had one more reason to hate Harry.
"Severus, such accusations are terrible, Harry can't be such a person!" Professor McGonagall glared at Snape, then said quietly.
On the other side, Sprout and Flitwick were wise not to interject Gryffindor, the head of the Slytherin Academy.
However, Ning Yuan quickly figured out Dumbledore's plan, there is any place in the school where the basilisk will definitely not be able to enter, except for the headmaster's room and some hidden rooms that no one knows, it is estimated that there is only a room for requirement, as long as a lobby is set up that is not connected to the school pipeline, it is enough to set up a big stage, enough for a certain Dumbledore to attract the attention of most students.
"Professor, if you're talking about having a responsive room, then it should be feasible, but I think we need to make some more preparations......" Ning Yuan thought for a while and said.
Dumbledore nodded in agreement, then looked at Snape, "Sever, go to Poppy (Poppy Pomfrey, Medical Wing healer and head nurse) to prepare any antidotes, blood tonics, or any potions we might use in our fight with the basilisk!" ”
"Minova, please check the pipes around the school with Filius!"
"Pomona, you go to Hagrid, we need as many roosters as possible or any plant that can have an effect on the basilisk."
After deciding to start tomorrow at noon, the four deans left the principal's office to get ready.
How to say that it is also a basilisk that has lived for a thousand years, before I see it, no one knows how dangerous this basilisk is, after all, the first recorded basilisk "Despicable Helmpo" is only nine hundred years old, and this one is suspected to be left by Slytherin himself, no one dares to have a trace of sloppiness.
In any case, he is also the most famous and recognized most powerful dark wizard recorded in the history of wizards in the world, if Voldemort did not have the fame brought by the descendants of Slytherin, even his predecessor Grindelwald could not be compared, let alone have such a great reputation.
And this is the place where he and his four friends have spent countless efforts, and no one can predict how many traps he will arrange in the secret room before he leaves in a bad mood.
Ning Yuan and Dumbledore, who know the inside story, are relatively calm, in the final analysis, they are just a bigger snake, as long as there is the most terrible rooster cry for the basilisk, and then let the phoenix solve the other party's two eyes that are a big threat to anyone, can instantly kill or petrify, then it is just a larger wild animal, and it is impossible to use magic or spit out Neidan like written in fantasy novels!
Of course, Ning Yuan is actually quite curious about Slytherin's secret room, and like many Harbin fans, he doesn't believe that Slytherin left his descendants only a basilisk that has little practical significance, as for Slytherin's desire to clean up wizards other than purebloods, Ning Yuan doesn't think it's very likely.
Even if Slytherin is really an evil dark wizard, then he must be a dark wizard with style, just like a gangster who has no style and can't be a godfather-level boss, for the school that has paid a lifetime of hard work, even if he really leaves, he will not want to destroy this place, even if it is irreconcilable because of the conflict of ideas, the other party will not do it, so it will not be meaningful except to appear unreasonable, and a proud person like him will lose simply and win with reason and moderation.
Of course, this is all Ning Yuan's speculation, what the truth is, unless he gossips with the heart of truth, no one knows, but Ning Yuan believes that the so-called "secret room" is definitely not a real secret room, according to the fanfiction, Ning Yuan believes that it is more likely to be a pet room there.
Of course, given the experience of the cave, Ning Yuan's idea of finding the bottom of the matter did not last long before being dispelled.
In this kind of chaotic fate trajectory, it is better not to die again, it is estimated that Dumbledore will not delve too much into the existence of the secret room after destroying the basilisk, after all, this is the school, and it is now a semester, and if something goes wrong, it is not enough to die a hundred times. Besides, if he causes any more trouble like the cave, it is estimated that Dumbledore's beard will fall out.
