Chapter 10: Unplanned Battles
Almost turning a corner, Lockhart suddenly felt a sense of crisis, the wall was shaking slightly, and the basilisk was in the nearby water pipe!
He covered Hermione's eyes and told Hermione to face him, "Don't look at anything." The imaginary struggle didn't happen, and Hermione hid in Lockhart's arms like a docile kitten, her arms around his waist, her face flushed.
Not to mention that Hermione was cranky at this time, even Lockhart himself felt weird, holding people with one hand and covering their eyes with the other, just like a couple.
Slowly approaching the corner, the snake's tongue could already be heard, and Lockhart pulled out his wand.
A gust of fishy wind blew in his face, the basilisk pounced out from behind the corner, and Lockhart subconsciously closed his eyes: "Armor to protect yourself!"
There was a loud blast that knocked both Lockhart and Hermione out "Eyes closed!" Lockhart shouted, "Flash!" Sneaking his eyes open, he saw a large snake writhing there with its eyes closed. It flashed its eyes with flashes and was recovering.
Lockhart's wand was knocked off and he had to crawl on the ground to find it, when a lewd house-elf appeared, picked up the wand on the ground, and handed it to Lockhart, "Sir, please protect Harry." A snap of his fingers and vanished.
Dobby was actually at school at this time! What was the chores of his house? It was really bad luck for the Malfoy family to meet such a disobedient house-elf. Oh stop, now is not the time for crankiness.
Rare opportunity, "Eye Disease Spell!" This spell can make the basilisk unable to open its eyes for a while, but it won't last long. Hermione was lying on the ground at this time, trembling with fright, she should have fallen, but she still closed her eyes, it was good to talk to smart people, she would never cry and cry bad things.
Pulling out a packet of potions, "Split! 10,000 bullets in unison!" The potion bag was shattered in the air, the powder spilled out, and the 10,000 bullets flew towards the basilisk's eyes. Lockhart closed his eyes as soon as he completed the spell, but the basilisk opened it just in time, and the potion spilled into its eyes. God knows what kind of potion it is, and Lockhart grabs it casually, maybe it's an aphrodisiac, but whatever it is, it's always unpleasant to spill it into the eyes.
The basilisk had to close its eyes again, it was almost mad, and in broad daylight, the Slytherin heir suddenly asked him to run out and kill people, and as a result, he couldn't even open his eyes for a long time, and he howled wildly and rushed to the place where the sound was made. At this time, Lockhart had already added a stunner to Hermione, and he stared into the eyes of the basilisk and began to release attack magic, desperately trying to blind it first!
Attacking magic requires eyes to look directly at the target, and now that the basilisk can't keep its eyes open, it's a good opportunity. "One Breath Breaker!" is not a very complex attack magic, the effect is similar to "Bladeless Blade", but Bladeless Blade is a cutting spell, and Lockhart is a piercing!
The basilisk's two eyes were stabbed, it rushed towards the source of the attack frantically, Lockhart kept releasing obstacles, the basilisk's body magic resistance was too high, he had no way to kill it now, he could only lead it to the lobby, hoping that other professors could help.
Along the way, I met many students, and when I saw the basilisk chasing Professor Lockhart, they all screamed loudly, and Lockhart had to give himself a loud spell: "Get out of the way, I can deal with it!"
The basilisk followed Lockhart into the school lobby.
Luckily, Professor McGonagall was in the lobby, "Quick, this is the monster in the chamber, help me." Lockhart rushed over in a wolf manner, and Professor McGonagall was taken aback and hurriedly joined in to help, "All students out of the lobby!" Professor McGonagall shouted, and hatred immediately came to her.
Professor McGonagall, as Dumbledore's favorite next Headmaster, is really extraordinary, and after a few spells, the basilisk immediately opens its flesh and blood. While McGonagall was hesitating whether to kill him, Headmaster Dumbledore arrived.
"The flames are blazing. ", a soft snort. Lockhart felt the surging wave of mana, and the basilisk's body burned at a speed visible to the naked eye, and after a few seconds, only a smoking skeleton remained.
Lockhart was shocked in his heart, Dumbledore was so powerful! Just this one fire charm, all Hogwarts graduates would, but the power was very different, and nothing was ignited except the basilisk, he didn't even feel the heat on his face, what kind of manipulation was this!
"If Dumbledore tells me to cast this spell on me next, give me a month to prepare, and I don't have any hope of survival. Lockhart thought to himself. "There is such a big gap between ordinary wizards and top wizards? ”
Now is not the time to think about this, Lockhart has to go to Ginny immediately, or the diary, I don't know what the consequences will be if I destroy the plot, but no matter what, I must not let that journal escape!
"Professor Lockhart, what's going on. Dumbledore asked.
"I'm sorry, Headmaster, but there's something more important right now. ”
Rushing back to the scene, the people were no longer there, and a bunch of students were watching.
"Find Ginny, show me the way!" the wand floated up, pointing in one direction.
Yes, just leave the Anti-Apparition Zone of Hogwarts and you're ready to fly!
Lockhart chased after him frantically, while Dumbledore and McGonagall chased after Lockhart.
Look, Ginny and Hermione together.
"Ginny, stop! Hermione, get out of her!" Lockhart pounced, trying to separate Ginny and Hermione.
The moment Hermione was pushed away, a wand was aimed at Lockhart, "Let me go, no one will get hurt." Ginny said with a confused look on her face, and Lockhart held up his hand in agreement.
Ginny forced Lockhart to walk towards the Quidditch pitch, she was supposed to find a broomstick and leave with the diary, as long as she flew out of the anti-illusion area of Hogwarts, she would never find the journal again. And Hermione, Dumbledore and others who were chasing behind, could only watch Lockhart being carried slowly towards the court.
To tell the truth, in two lives, Lockhart came out without thinking that he would become a hostage, in his previous life he was an ordinary student, and no one would target him, and as Lockhart, he was cautious, never came out, never took risks.
Lockhart almost wanted to cry at this time, could it be that he changed the plot and increased the difficulty, what the hell is this. As the Quidditch pitch got closer and closer, Dumbledore's face became more and more stern, and Lockhart was also in a cold sweat.
There was no doubt that Dumbledore was a good man, but he had the disadvantage of always seeing the friendly people around him as willing to sacrifice as much as he did. Ghosts are willing to sacrifice!
(Dumbledore would never let this Horcrux go.) Lockhart knew very well in his heart that instead of doing this, it was better to pretend to be a hero. Holding Ginny's wand in his backhand, "Voldemort, I want to see what spells you can use with this body!"
"How do you know who I am?" Ginny glanced at Lockhart with mixed eyes, "If you want to see, then you will be fulfilled." ”
"Avada asks for his life. ”
(How is that possible...... Could it be that the Defence Against the Dark Arts professorship is really cursed? That was Lockhart's last thought.
The world turned green, then black again.
