Dumbledore glanced at the honest basilisk, thought for a moment, and looked at Dracula.

"Since it's a Slytherin pet, let it be placed in a Slytherin friend." He smiled and said, "I don't think I have the authority to dispose of the property left by a founder to future generations." ”

Dracula smiled dumbly and shook his head slightly.

"Salazar has been dead for so many years, so there's no need to be polite to him." He said completely unceremoniously, "Now, his property is my property, and I will even use his property against his descendants!" ”

As he spoke, he rubbed the green head of the basilisk and said to it:

"How about building a new home in the forests of Albania? By the way, you can do me a favor and help me search the hollow trees in that forest to see if I can find the Ravenclaw tiara, the one that Rowena often wears on his head, you should know. ”

The basilisk has been cultivated by Slytherin and evolved over thousands of years, and is now highly intelligent and able to understand human language.

Hearing Dracula's explanation, it closed its eyes and nodded its green head obediently.

"Didn't Professor Dracula hear about the crown from Voldemort himself?" Dumbledore asked curiously.

Dracula's face immediately turned black.

It can only be said that Voldemort's operation of exchanging the secret of immortality for a chance to escape did make his emotions fluctuate a lot.

After experiencing Voldemort's mystery, all Dracula could think about at the time was to kill this blind guy who poked him in the sore spots, and even forgot to help Helena ask about the Ravenclaw crown......

Fortunately, while thinking about how to place the basilisk, Dracula remembered in time what he had promised Helena, so he temporarily decided to send the basilisk to the forests of Albania.

"Professor Dracula, now that you've decided to send the basilisk to Albania, I have one more thing to tell you." Dumbledore pondered for a moment, then spoke, "Over the past decade or so, a friend of mine, Newt Scamander, has discovered a strange phenomenon in one of the forests in Albania—"

"A few years ago, Newt was invited by the Albanian Ministry of Magic to investigate as a guest magizoologist. In a forest over there, there are a lot of animals that have lost their vitality for no reason, and they have no wounds, and they are shriveled ......."

Dracula looked surprised.

"Isn't this what happened some time ago in the Forbidden Forest?" He said with interest, "This kind of black magic extracts the life force from the living beings in the form of sacrifices, so as to replenish their missing life force. ”

"What do you mean...... Was the strange phenomenon in that forest also caused by Voldemort? He looked at Dumbledore and asked.

"It's very likely!" Dumbledore nodded, "After Voldemort came to Hogwarts via Quirrell, Newt sent me a letter. In his letter, he told me that the phenomenon of the mysterious death of animals in the forest had suddenly disappeared. ”

"In other words, after Voldemort failed to steal the Philosopher's Stone and was annihilated by me the power he had just accumulated, it is very likely that he will return to the Albanian forest that he is most familiar with and has been staying in for eleven years!" The corners of Dracula's mouth curled into a wicked smile.

"In that case, then you have one more task." He turned his head to look at the basilisk and said gently, "I need your help me finding the traces of Voldemort, the Slytherin descendant who controlled you before." I'll go to you from time to time to ask for his leads. ”

The basilisk nodded tamely and without a hint of hesitation, abandoned the offspring of its original owner.

"Professor Dracula, I remember you said in that abandoned bathroom that you don't seem to know Parseltongue, do you?" Dumbledore suddenly asked, "So how are you going to get news of Voldemort from the basilisk?" ”

"Mr. Headmaster, how can we wizards be limited to verbal communication in their methods of obtaining information? That's just too inefficient. Dracula turned his head to look at him deeply and chuckled, "Don't you think you'll be quicker to get information with the Dementors?" ”

The corners of Dumbledore's eyes jumped.

The magic of the Celestial Mind that requires eye contact to obtain accurate information is theoretically extremely efficient in obtaining information when it has enough energy.

But if you want to use the Dementor to get the information in the basilisk's eyes, you must first make eye contact with the basilisk. I'm afraid only an existence like Professor Dracula would dare to do this......

Dumbledore sighed to himself.

Meanwhile, Dracula had already given it the task he needed to complete, and finally patted it on the head.

Then, he took two steps back and looked at it thoughtfully.

"Professor Dracula, Fawkes can teleport the basilisk outside of Hogwarts Castle if you need to."

Dumbledore thought that Dracula was struggling with how to send the basilisk to Albania, and introduced with a smile: "I can help you connect with a team that specializes in transporting large magical beasts, transported by four broomstick wielders, and it can be dropped into the forests of Albania tomorrow." ”

"Or we can follow Newt's method and make a large Traceless Stretch Charm space, put the basilisk in it, and then go to Albania through the Portkey. I happen to be very good at making doorkeys. ”

Dracula glanced at him and shook his head.

"It doesn't have to be that much trouble." He chuckled, "I was just wondering how big a moon it would take to fit this big guy in." ”

In Dumbledore's bewildered gaze, Dracula grabbed the basilisk by the tail, and an apparition vanished into the room in the forbidden area.

The next moment, Dracula and the basilisk appeared together at a height of hundreds of meters above the castle.

The basilisk, which had never been separated from land, began to struggle and writhe restlessly after a brief moment of consternation.

"Don't move, or I'll throw you down." Dracula said indifferently.

The basilisk suddenly became honest and let Dracula's magic hold it up in the air.

"Good." Dracula nodded in satisfaction, "That room was too small to be used just now, so I brought you here." ”

As he spoke, he raised a hand.

A huge dark moon quietly appeared high in the sky, emitting a cold light.

The basilisk's huge body was shrouded in the dark moon, and then it saw a dense forest, smelling the smell of the rain soaking the dead leaves and old trees, and the scent of dusty grass washed away......

Tonight, there are two moons in the sky of Hogwarts, two moonlights.
