Chapter 53: There is no danger
Draco didn't have time to dodge, swinging his silver sword haphazardly forward. He felt a sudden piercing pain in his arm, and he had to throw the sword away from his hand. A venom-laden tusk was sinking deeper and deeper into his arm.
It's over, I'm going to die......
Death did not come as expected. Draco could still only feel the sharp pain in his arm. But soon, he smelled a scorching stench.
"Professor Capet!"
"Professor! My sister ......"
Draco heard two excited voices before he opened his eyes. The basilisk's body was broken in two, both twisting and twisting, and from the fracture came a foul of black blood. The snake's head rolled to the side, but the fangs were broken, still stuck in his arm.
】
"Ho-ho......" Draco gasped and fell to the ground. He grabbed the fang, which was spewing venom into his body, and pulled it out of his arm. But he knew it was too late.
The intense pain is slowly but persistently spreading from the wound to the whole body. As he threw away his fangs and watched his own blood slowly soak through his robes, his gaze began to blur.
"Draco! Draco! ”
Professor Capet's voice seemed to come from the horizon.
"Professor......" Draco said indistinctly, two lines of tears streaming down his eyes, "I don't want to die... Shouldn't I come down. ”
"Don't worry, you won't die. Your father is coming, and he will be proud of you. Calvin's words reassured Draco a little, and he slowly closed his eyes.
Calvin raised his head and said to the phoenix that was still hovering in the sky, "Fawkes, you'd better listen to me today. Hurry up and get down. ”
A bright red glow swept across the sky and came to a light stop in front of Draco with a wail.
"Good, good, Fawkes."
Draco felt the phoenix stick its beautiful head to the spot where he had been stabbed by the basilisk's fangs. Large pearly tears rolled down its shiny feathers.
Tears dripped down Draco's wound, and the purple-black wound healed quickly. Draco gradually stopped feeling the pain, and the world around him began to become clearer instead of dark.
"It's the first time I've seen you," Calvin crouched beside Draco, looking at Fawkes carefully, "Phoenix's tears, healing. ”
Once Draco's wounds were completely healed, he stood up with Professor Capet's support.
At that moment, a soft moan came from the other side of the chamber. Ginny began to move. When Ron hurried over, Ginny was still unconscious.
"Professor Capet, Ginny, she, is she alright?" Ron asked uneasily.
Calvin hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Ginny is not in danger of life. ”
-----------------
Calvin left the Chamber of Secrets with four young wizards, all wounded, and took them to Madam Pomfrey, the school doctor.
"Madam Pomfrey, look at these four unruly little wizards I've caught. Alas, they don't look at what time it is. Calvin smiled and said, "Anyway, they'll be handed over to you." ”
Immediately afterward, Calvin tucked his limp sorting hat and the ruby-encrusted silver sword into his sleeve and prepared to return to his office, where he was to hand them over to his body.
Calvin, who had been silent in the office, suddenly stood up, walked to the door, opened it, and looked out.
Then he turned to Lucius, who was still aggressive, and said, "Mr. Malfoy, you've been arguing in my office for an hour. ”
"I think Headmaster Dumbledore has made it very clear that no one is dead in the school, everything is under his control. As for your statement that you are going to hand over the murderer Hagrid, it is even more nonsense, and there is no evidence that Rubeus Hagrid is the heir to the secret room. Calvin's tone was stern, but his eyes blinked quietly.
Lucius looked at his watch, "I don't want to spend any more time with you, just wait for the school board to come and talk to you." With that, he picked up his cane and walked out of the office in a huff. But Calvin clearly sensed it, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
After a moment of silence, Dumbledore asked, "Settled?" ”
Calvin nodded, and took the Sorting Hat and silver longsword from his sleeve and placed them on the table.
"There is a surprise...... No risk. ”
"Basilisk? You're dead? Snape was a little surprised, "But you've been here all along?" ”
"I've got some magical magic, by the way," Calvin pulled out the basilisk's remains, "I think you can make a potion that de-petrifies." ”
Snape took the metal-like piece of the relic and looked at Calvin, "There's no hurry, I'd like to hear what happened." ”
"I thought it would be better to hear the children say it themselves. I also have a lot of things I want to ask them. ”
Dumbledore nodded, and led Snape and Calvin to the hospital.
Madam Pomfrey did not welcome the three of them, believing that the children needed to recuperate. Although the three little wizards had minor physical injuries, the mental injuries were very serious, especially the pale-skinned little boy.
But Madam Pomfrey eventually relented and allowed the Headmaster to visit them.
"I think you must have a lot to say." Dumbledore's tone was not very harsh, but Harry still didn't dare to hide it in the slightest, and told it as it was.
He recounted hearing the first time he heard the staccato sound when he was locked up in Lockhart's office. Based on Professor Capet's information, he guessed that he was a snake elder.
"When I heard that the serpent was a symbol of Slytherin, I began to hide it, as the Sorting Hat had hesitated to sort me into the Slytherin ......"
Harry was a little ashamed, he remembered Professor Capet's words that he shouldn't be prejudiced against Slytherin House. In fact, the people at Slytherin House aren't exactly bad people, like ......
"It's nothing, everyone has secrets and doesn't want others to know." Dumbledore said empathetically. Behind him, Snape and Calvin turned their heads to look out the window.
Harry also said that after yesterday's attack, he wanted to find the killer himself for fear of being considered an heir.
"Ahh Snape whispered, "If I were the headmaster, you'd have to stay locked up until the end of the semester." ”
Harry glanced at Snape and continued, "In our search for an heir, Ron and I met Malfoy. ”
Dumbledore, Snape, and Calvin all looked at Draco as he lay on the bed.
"So, Mr. Malfoy, can you tell me your story?" Dumbledore asked gently.
