Chapter 170: Foreign Aid

"But how is it possible for the basilisk to crawl around?" Harry still had questions, "An ugly serpent...... Someone will definitely see it......"

Charon pondered for a moment and gave the answer, "Sewer pipes!" Oh, the basilisk has been moving in the pipes. No wonder you can always hear that sound, the sewers are all over the castle! ”

Now that Charon and Harry have figured it out, there is only one last thing left, how to open the Chamber of Secrets and take out that basilisk?

"Why don't we go tell Dumbledore now?!" As expected, Harry's mouth was the suggestion, and he pulled Charon to leave.

"Absolutely not!" Charon hurriedly persuaded him, "You forgot? The cat, Lady Loris, and Colin Creevey were both attacked by Ginny, and although we all know that she was mentally controlled by Voldemort's remnant, if outsiders knew about it, she really wouldn't be able to gain a foothold in this school! Have you forgotten the rumors on campus? Just because you know how to talk snakes, you will be regarded as a murderer who opened the secret room! If the professors were told that their actions would definitely be discovered by the students, Ginny's affairs would not be hidden! ”

"Huh?" Harry was suddenly frightened, he had tasted the taste of being isolated and misunderstood during this time, he couldn't stand it as a big boy, and if it was a little girl like Ginny, it was estimated that he would die! "But if we don't tell the Professor, can we deal with the basilisk?"

"Don't worry about this," Charon said, patting his chest, "even if I can't handle it, there will still be my father!" Don't you believe in the strength of the current generation of the Shafiq family?! ”

That's right, Charon fought his father's idea! As the heir of the Shafiq family, the contemporary leader of the necromancer, and the good things left by the ancestors of Shafiq, Aiagoth has countless powerful skeletons in his hands, and it is not easy to clean up a small basilisk!

After Dad catches the basilisk, take this evidence to the Minister of Magic, Fudge. The evidence is conclusive and his father's face is confirmed, and there is absolutely no obstacle to releasing Hagrid, clearing his grievances, and restoring his status as a wizard!

Of course, Charon didn't want Dumbledore to be involved, and in addition to those reasons, the value of the basilisk was also an important reason!

It's a thousand-year-old basilisk, and those lethal eyeballs make great magic items. fangs, skins, bones, gall bladders...... All of them are rare good things, and it can be said that this basilisk is full of treasures. If Dumbledore is involved, Charon will be embarrassed to take these things!

Charon said the truth, Harry listened to it and admired in his heart, this little friend of his is really much better than himself, there are masters in the family, the Minister of Magic can see him if he wants, and he is also meticulous and detailed, he can't help but feel a little ashamed of himself!

Now that Charon had convinced Harry, he immediately sent a letter to his father, Aiagoth! It wasn't long before Aiagoth asked them to meet at the tavern in Hogsmeade Village, along with instructions on how to sneak to Hogsmeade Village through the secret passages.

Hogsmeade Village is right next to Hogwarts, and young wizards are not allowed to go until they are in their third year and signed by their guardians. However, Aiagoth actually knew how to sneak to Hogsmeade Village, which is enough to see that he was not a good boy when he was in school!

It's a little-known secret passage that opens in front of an ordinary hunchbacked, one-eyed stone witch statue in the hallway of Gang Hilda on the third floor of Hogwarts, after which the statue's hunchback opens to reveal a dark hole. Charon jumped in with Harry, and below was a long stone slide. The two slid for quite a long distance before hitting the cold, wet ground.

"Fluorescent flicker", Harry raised his wand. Charon can see at night, and there is no action to light the way.

The passage in front of me is winding, narrow, low, and uneven, making it quite difficult to walk. After about half an hour, the two walked to a dilapidated stone staircase and began to climb up. After climbing about two or three thousand stone steps, I finally arrived. Push open the hidden raised floor door and you'll find the basement of Duke Honey's shop.

Under the cover of the invisibility cloak, the two slipped out of Duke Honey's shop and arrived at the Pig's Head Bar. Aiagoth was already there waiting for them!

Harry was nervous and panicked when he first saw Aiagoth. However, when he saw the intimate interaction between Aiagos and Charon, he couldn't help but start to envy again. Although Aiagos looks cold, he is full of tenderness for his son.

The three of them gossiped and began to sit together and discuss how to deal with the basilisk.

Charon then recounted how he found the problem, how he got the Dark Arts diary, how he saw that something was wrong, and how he killed the remnants of the young Voldemort!

After hearing this, Aiagos directly gave Charon a brain breakdown, "You little bastard, you are tired of life, don't tell your parents and teachers about this dangerous thing, and make trouble by yourself!" Is Voldemort's remnant easy to deal with? I have to do my best to do this kind of evil spirit, how old are you, and you dare to toss around like this?! ”

Charon endured his father's scolding, so he had to apologize honestly, and it was indeed too reckless to clean up Voldemort's remnant soul by himself!

However, Ayagos criticized criticism, and when he saw Charon ostentatiously summoning Voldemort's geist, he couldn't help but smile smugly.

Harry couldn't help but feel a pain in his head as he looked at the spirits flying up and down. How can this Charon family look even more terrifying than Voldemort!

Next, we began to discuss how to deal with the millennium basilisk.

Ayagos also asked if he wanted to tell Dumbledore, but when he met Charon's eyes, he immediately understood. Make a fortune in a muffled voice, let Dumbledore know, and the big fortune will be gone!

Sure enough, Aiagoth was confident in dealing with the millennium basilisk. No matter how much he is just a sane brute, wizards are experienced in capturing such magical creatures. The basilisk's most powerful weapon is the lethal gaze, which is no threat as long as you wear protective glasses! As for the basilisk's thick skin, sensitive movements, and sharp fangs, these are the regular abilities of magical creatures, which are nothing at all, and there are countless ways to deal with them!

Finally, Charon and Aiagos talked about the distribution of income, and the two were even more enthusiastic. According to them, the whole body of the basilisk is a treasure, the snake skin is used as armor, the fangs are used as weapons, the snake gall can be used as medicine, the snake meat can be used as medicine or edible, the snake bone can be used as a skeleton, and the snake eyes can be used as magic weapon materials.

The two of them were so excited that Harry was terrified when he heard it, this was killing the basilisk as a fat pig!

After some argument, the basilisk's whole body material was cut into pieces. Of course, Charon and Aiagos haven't forgotten Harry, fangs can make two daggers, Charon and Harry have one each! It's poisonous and sharp, making it a great weapon for self-defense!

Harry repeatedly refused, but could not resist Charon's kindness, and agreed.

Harry, of course, was most concerned about Hagrid. However, Aiagos patted his chest and promised that after killing the basilisk, he would contact Cornelius Fudge and help Hagrid clear his grievances easily.

Charon also gave Aiagoth a sneaky idea, which was to make the removal of the basilisk an act of the Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge!

Although Charon didn't care much about the rights and wrongs of the Ministry, he also knew that the current Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, was an awkward and inactive person. His rise to power was the result of a compromise between radicals and conservatives. At Hogwarts, not a single student or teacher spoke of him as respectful, and everyone admired and adored Dumbledore and thought Fudge was an idiot! Of course, this is true.

Fudge himself knows this, he is deeply jealous of Dumbledore, if he can find something unpleasant for Dumbledore without taking risks, Fudge will definitely approve!

And Charon's idea is exactly that, that is, to refute Dumbledore's face without taking any risks.

He plans to have Aiagoth go directly to Fudge for a private conversation, tell him about the Basilisk in the secret room, and then propose to find someone to open the secret room and kill the basilisk himself!

As long as Fudge agrees and obtains a Hogwarts entry and exit order from him, Aiagoth can legitimately enter Hogwarts, enter the secret room, kill the basilisk, or take the treasures from the basilisk as loot!

For Fudge, if Aiagos successfully destroyed the basilisk, then all this was naturally done under Fudge's strategy, and Dumbledore couldn't solve the school's problems by himself, and Fudge sent someone to solve them, which greatly increased Fudge's prestige and cut Dumbledore's face.

As long as Fudge is satisfied, Hagrid's grievances will be easily washed away, and he will not have to suffer in Azkaban prison. Completely destroying the basilisk also eliminated a hidden danger in the school.

For Harry, having him involved without him to intervene to ensure his safety also gave Dumbledore face. I expected that Dumbledore would not blame Charon too much when he looked at Harry's face. Harry wouldn't be unwilling, he also wanted to wash away the rumors on himself, what "Heir of Slytherin" is really not a positive title!!

Charon secretly informed Ayagos of his plan, and he smiled, pointed at Charon, and said, "You little fellow, you have a lot of eyes!" Better than my dad. Okay, you've got a good plan, I'll listen to you this time! ”

It wasn't difficult for Aiagoth to get Fudge to talk privately, after all, even the Minister of Magic didn't want to mess with a middle force like the Shafiq family. After the meeting, everything went extremely smoothly, and the carefully prepared words of Aiagos had not yet been finished, and the other party had already agreed. Originally, Fudge didn't have to bother except for a pass, but he gained a lot. Fudge even promised to free Hagrid immediately as soon as he killed the basilisk, and clear his name and restore him to his status as a magician!
