Chapter Seventy-Eight: Who Are You?
Gryffindor Lounge.
The lion cubs were terrified, and they were chattering about Lockhart.
Even if he doesn't like it very much, at least he has more points.
Seeing that something might happen to him, I felt a little sad in my heart.
The Aurors grossly searched their dormitories, examining everything with a speculum - though Professor McGonagall told them that the spectacle was useless and could not be detected.
But they still clung to this thing and refused to let go.
When it comes to examining the dark arts, they are not as reliable as speculums.
Hermione and Ron were scared, and Harry never returned.
In this treacherous atmosphere.
Smack-
The voice of the apparition sounded, and everyone's hearts tightened like a frightened bird, and Professor McGonagall and the Aurors raised their wands and aimed them at the house-elf who appeared out of thin air.
"Professor McGonagall!" The house-elf's voice was flustered, "Professor Snape and Mr. Potter met the basilisk in the Great Hall!" They asked me to call you and need your help. โ
Professor McGonagall's face changed immediately, and Percy gave Percy an order, leaving an Auror, and hurried down the tower to the Great Hall.
The little wizards were even more flustered.
Ginny poked her head out of the dormitory with a blank face, and the house-elf gave her a look of grievance, and the phantom moved away.
In the auditorium on the first floor.
The two were still haggling, the basilisk was a rare creature of dark magic, and its materials were almost impossible to find on the market.
Snape hadn't used it many times, and a tenth pint of basilisk venom would cost hundreds of gold Galleons, not to mention things like basilisk eyes, wielding thousands of Galleons, might not be able to buy it.
In the end, it was discussed, snake eyes, poison sacs, and poisonous fangs were half for one person.
Scrimgeira couldn't let go of that face, and participated in the bargaining, and finally when the two of them finished dismantling the basilisk, he got a piece of snake skin the size of a face, more than a hundred pounds of snake meat, and two ribs, the two that were cut off by Snape.
The Sorting Hat's voice was terrified, "Harry, no, not really!" โ
"The Traceless Stretching Charm in me is just to store the Gryffindor Sword, and those books are already barely enough to fit such a big thing."
"You don't want anything to happen to me, do you?"
Harry nodded: "I know, put it here first, I'll see if I can let the family ...... later"
As he spoke, the words stopped abruptly.
With a serious face, he raised his wand and sword and looked in the direction of the grand staircase.
Snape turned, and immediately raised his wand.
Scrimgeour was a little confused, why, all of a sudden, so serious? Inexplicably, but if he didn't move, he would look so unsociable and unprofessional, and he raised his hand accordingly.
"It's Professor McGonagall." Harry's brow furrowed, "There's another group of people, presumably the Aurors. โ
The last word landed.
An Auror rushed in, a large hand condensed by a Transfiguration Charm, following him, grabbing his head, protecting his eyes, and pulling him back again.
"Gryffindor's?" Snape scoffed.
Scrimgeour buried his head, gritted his teeth, and vowed to train the group well when he returned.
Dealing with basilisk and being so reckless!
"Professor McGonagall, it's safe inside, the basilisk is dead." Harry opened his throat and called out loudly.
There was no answer.
The two Transfiguration rabbits jumped in, circled the auditorium carefully, and then bounced back unharmed before Professor McGonagall and the others walked in safely.
Harry looked at Snape, "Obviously, this is Gryffindor. โ
Snape didn't react.
Scrimgeur's face was flushed, and his face jumped.
"Professor, why are you here?" Harry greeted him and asked, "It's the common room......
"The elf told me that you have encountered a basilisk and need help." Professor McGonagall replied hastily, looking at the dissected basilisk corpse and Fawkes, who was crouching on the basilisk's head like an egg, and paused to add in more detail, "It says you need help. โ
"We don't." Snape shook his head and sneered, "It's just a basilisk." โ
Harry's face sank, and he pulled his legs and ran to the lounge: "I knew elves couldn't be trusted!" โ
"Woe to you, Ginny!"
McGonagall was stunned for a moment, reacted slowly, held her waist, and hurried away.
Scrimgeour hated that iron was not made of steel: "You're all here with Professor McGonagall?" Think about it in your minds, this is a basilisk, what's the use of you coming? โ
An Auror timidly replied, "We have one person in the break room to protect ......"
Scrimgeour's face turned greener.
One?
What's the use of one.
The dark wizard named "Tom" could even pronounce the unforgivable incantation silently, and the sting that penetrated deep into the bone marrow proved that he was an extremely evil and cunning fellow.
When did such a high-level dark wizard emerge?
Even during the period when Mysteries were raging, this level was rare among Death Eaters, and they were almost catching up with Snape.
He hurried to keep up with the man in front of him.
In the Gryffindor lounge where there was only one Auror left.
Holding a book in her arms, Ginny made her way through the crowd to the door of the lounge, leaning down to climb out.
Percy stood up suddenly, wand in hand, and took a deep breath, "Ginny, you can't go out right now, if you haven't eaten breakfast, Ron has some snacks." โ
Ron immediately rummaged through his bag and pulled out bread, desserts, and even a few rock crust cakes.
Ginny didn't respond to him, and continued her movements.
The Auror grabbed her arm and said sternly, "I know you Gryffindors, but this is not a good time to break the school rules. โ
"Stay in the lounge now, it's safe to ......"
Ginny looked back, with a stiff and strange smile on her face, the corners of her mouth curled high, but in her eyes, there was no trace of the joy that she should have when she smiled.
Suddenly, there was a tiny feeling on the waist and abdomen being pressed against a hard object.
The Aurors bowed their heads.
It's a wand, made of yew wood.
"Thunderbolt Explosion!"
Ginny's voice was beautiful, like a lamb, and it touched the heart softly.
But this spell is not good at all.
Loud explosions.
The Aurors flew upside down, their abdomen torn apart, scorched and burned, and their blood gushing out unstoppable.
"Faint!" Percy didn't hesitate and struck with a spell.
"Ginny" reacted quickly and dodged sideways.
Percy took the opportunity to turn around and shout, "All the little wizards, go back to the dormitory now." โ
The little wizards were flustered, crowded and noisy and ran to the dormitory.
Then he looked back at the guy who was dressed as his sister: "Who are you?" What is Tom? โ
Ginny's face changed, she waved her wand, and the long table in the lounge twisted and twisted, branching out, and nailed Percy hard.
"Armor protection!"
In a hurry, he cast a spell.
The invisible armor protected his body, which could prevent damage, but he couldn't prevent the force that penetrated him, and he was violently pumped away.
The Weasley brothers teamed up to turn Percy's chair into a cushion that would allow him to land safely if Tom had given them that chance.
Poofโ
The cushion changed again, twisting into equally sharp, withered branches, piercing Percy's palms and pinning him to the wall.
Cross type, hanging high.
"Faint!"
With trembling hands, Ron held his wand and chanted a spell at Ginny.
