"It won't be long, a few more days." Hermione replied. She goes to check the progress every morning, noon and evening.

"Well, it looks like there's no hope before Christmas. Why don't you come home with me for Christmas, and talk about the heirs after the holidays? Ivey asked tentatively

"No," Hermione shook her head, "if we're leaving, what if something goes wrong with the potion of rejuvenation." ”

"Yes, then you can only fight alone"

"When have you ever counted on you two," Ron said angrily

"At least we will continue to support the logistics," Ivy said.....

——————

The next day, word broke that Justin had been attacked. Everyone knows that Ivey injured the monster in the secret room. This made everyone panic and admire it at the same time.

"That night. I was on my way back from using the toilet with Harry and the others....."

In the courtyard, Ivy was standing on a bench, telling the story of last night. He was surrounded by people, all of the colleges. The front row is basically a girl, and they are all. Several Ravenclaw seniors stared at him eagerly, licking their lips from time to time.

"As I passed a corner, I noticed that the water on the ground suddenly rippled. But there was no wind in the hallway. Ivey's deep voice is immersive

"What does that mean?" Lisa, a little girl from Ravenclaw, raised her hand and asked

"It means that a monster so big that it can make the floor shake has appeared!" Ivey looked serious, "At that time, I realized that this guy was probably a monster in the secret room. ”

"Frankly speaking, I originally wanted to protect myself, but I wasn't sure about the difference in size alone." Ivy sighed unwillingly, and then suddenly became high-pitched, "But just as I was about to leave, Justin's cry for help suddenly came from afar!" ”

"I immediately stopped and turned to go to the rescue. But my buddies stopped me and told me to protect myself and report to the professors. ”

"And how did you choose?" Another little girl asked

That's a good question. I don't want to lie to you, but at first, I was really moved by what they said. Because I'm just an ordinary person, not a battle-hardened Auror. Ivey's voice was a little low

But at this moment, Justin's cries for help rang out again. He said sadly, "You know, I've never heard such a heart-rending voice. It's so helpless and hopeless. ”

At this point, the sad tone became uplifted again: "I roar directly to my companions: I must not watch others die!" After saying that, he immediately threw off the arms of his companions, let them keep calling behind him, and resolutely rushed forward! ”

The golden sunlight shone on his tall body, with a resolute and handsome face, and the girls around him kept swallowing their saliva.

"You're a hero!" A girl shouted

Ivy smiled indifferently, "I'm just an ordinary person"

Soon he was drowning in the waves of flesh

While he pretended to be forced, the trio sat in the hallway and kept complaining.

"It's so shameless," Ron said speechlessly, "obviously he doesn't want to get into trouble, and now it's up to us to drag him." ”

"No wonder Lockhart likes to brag so much," Harry lamented

"None of them bragging, okay! Although there was an element of exaggeration, Ivey did save us. Hermione listened with relish

"Come on Hermione, Ivy will blow it. Can Lockhart be the same as Ivey! If he encounters a basilisk, he can scare out his urine. "Ron was very hostile to Lockhart

"You-" Hermione was angry. It seems that the lesson of the last time was not enough

"Professor McGonagall is here," Betty interrupted

Everyone turned their heads, and saw Professor McGonagall, dressed in emerald green, walking over, "Are you here, Ive?" ”

"I'll call him," Betty replied, walking toward the courtyard.

Ivey was signing autographs for the girls at this time. It has to be said that girls in the West are bold and precocious. He already had four or five lipstick marks on his face, not to mention the ones that were touched.

"With my talent, if I'm like Lockhart, I guess I can't just sleep powder." Ivy was obscene

"When you've had enough, get out," Betty's voice popped up in her ears

Ivy looked up and saw Betty standing outside the crowd, looking at him with a blank face.

"Is this the legendary Transmission of Secrets?" Thinking to himself, he shouted to the crowd, "The story about my battle against the monsters in the secret room, I'll tell you when I have a chance." ”

Then, he hurriedly ran out.

"Po-" ran up to Betty and kissed her, "What's wrong?" ”

Betty handed him a handkerchief and motioned for him to wipe his face, "Professor McGonagall is looking for us"

The two walked back, and Ivy said, "Professor McGonagall, how do you need help?" ”

"Headmaster Dumbledore wants to see you, come with me"

Several men followed Professor McGonagall to the Headmaster's office

"What do you think the principal is looking for us?" Ron asked Hermione in a low voice

"How do I know," Hermione didn't give him an angry look

"Harry, you know what?" Ron turned his head and asked again

"Unclear"

"If you want to know, just ask Professor McGonagall" Before Ron could speak, Ivy answered first.

"Uh- Hermione, why don't you ask" Ron wilted as soon as he heard about asking the professor

Hermione was speechless. Fortunately, she is more reliable, "Professor McGonagall, is there something wrong with the Rector's meeting with us?" ”

"Don't worry, it's a good thing. It's mainly about what you saved yesterday," Professor McGonagall said gently, and then said no more.

"It's definitely going to reward us!" Ron's voice suddenly grew louder again

"Maybe we can keep Gryffindor in Quidditch!" Harry said expectantly

"Stop dreaming," Hermione looked at the two daydreaming men with disdain

"It's here," Professor McGonagall's voice interrupted the chatter

The three of them looked around and looked at each other, and there was nothing but a statue embedded in the wall.

"Uh-where? Professor"

Ignoring Ron's doubts, Professor McGonagall shouted at the statue, "Chilled lemonade!" ”

Under the curious gaze of the trio, the monster statue began to turn and rise, and a flight of stairs appeared in front of them.

"Go up," Professor McGonagall said and left

"Let's go" After watching the professor leave, Ivy took the lead up the steps

Once again, I came to the principal's office, which was pretty much the same as the last time I came, with no changes. A few people walked around casually and looked at it.

"Fox? You're dead again! Looking at the phoenix, which looked like a dehaired chicken, Ivy shouted in surprise

"Twitter-" Fawkes, visibly remembering Ivey, kept opening his mouth towards him.

"Hungry? Doesn't the principal feed you? He complained and handed his hand over

"Twing-" Fawkes cried even higher-pitched, as if he was happy.

"Ivey, what are you doing?" Hermione walked over

"Whoa—" Ivy spouted at Foxnunu, "This is Dumbledore's pet, a phoenix. ”

"Yes, Mr. Shafiq"

"Hello, Headmaster" the group looked over as Dumbledore descended the stairs.

"Hello, do you want something to drink? How about juice" Dumbledore waved his hand, and several glasses of juice appeared on the table.

"Professor, Principal Lorna, she ————" Ivy looked up to find that Ms. Lona's frame was empty.

"It's time to go to the door, Ms. Lorna has been uncertain. It was a coincidence that you came last time," Dumbledore joked

"Professor, are you looking for us?" Harry asked

"Of course. I heard about last night, and you guys are very brave. But I had to nag more, even with Shafiq's classmates, it was still too risky. Dumbledore said slowly

"I'm sorry Principal, but I was too impulsive." Harry simply confessed

"There is no need to apologize at all~ You saved the life of a classmate, this is a deed worthy of praise." Dumbledore laughed

"Then Headmaster, you're not trying to punish us," Ron asked cautiously

"Gryffindor and Hufflepuff plus thirty points each," Dumbledore answered his question directly

"Yay!" Hermione cheered quietly. Harry and Ron were also excited.

"Since you were able to stop this vicious I incident in time, you should have some clues. Would you like to share it with me—"

"Uh-" Several people are all stuck, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know how to pick up.

"Professor, Harry and the others did the investigation, you can ask them." Ivey directly sells the Iron Triangle, causing the three of them to glare at him angrily.

Harry was overwhelmed by Dumbledore's probing gaze. He held back for a long time before finally speaking, "Professor, we don't know much. I only know that the monster in the secret room is a basilisk."

"Basilisk?" Dumbledore repeated

"Yes, sir." Hermione chimed in

"You've seen it?" Dumbledore asked

"I haven't seen the whole picture, I've only seen its eyes." Harry replied

"Did you lock on to the clue with just one eye?"

"Nope! Sir, it's complicated. First of all, because we had a good relationship with Hagrid, he told us that all the roosters in the academy had been killed. We speculated that the two might be related, so ————" Hermione explained in a panic

Facing the somewhat cramped trio, Dumbledore didn't ask any more questions, just watched them quietly. The bright, wise gaze of the trio shone like a searchlight, making it difficult for the trio to look at them.

"Intuition is sharp" seemed to be a complimentary remark, reassuring the trio a little, "Is there anything else Mr. Ivey and Miss Betty would like to add?" ”

"The basilisk has one eye wounded by me, and I believe it can be stable for a while." Ivey said

"Very good news," Dumbledore affirmed. Then he glanced at the faces of several people and said meaningfully, "So—is there anything else you need me to help with?" ”

"Professor, we want to know what spells simulate animal calls." Betty asked directly

"Hmm—anything else?" Dumbledore looked at her and then at the others. Seeing that no one answered, he stood up and said, "Okay~"

He walked over to the bookshelf, pulled out a roll of parchment and walked back, handing it to Betty, "You guys are brave, but be safe. ”
