Downstairs in the tower hall, the Harris are basically there.

Morgan Lefay was helping Fleur complete the gift list, she glanced up at the family of three downstairs, her eyes were back on the clothing advertisements, and her mouth asked with Chapter 996, "Alan, why did you come down from the upstairs? Oh, so you're notifying us because the basilisk hatched?"

The others present reacted and looked up at Allen.

"That's right, Mother, the basilisk has been successfully hatched today, but the rooster's crow is fatal to it, so I asked Maggie to dispose of all the roosters in the house..."

Unexpectedly, many of the people who didn't expect Eren to bring the basilisk down like this had already instinctively closed their eyes, but Harris, who realized that Eren would not bring danger to them, immediately opened his eyes again and began to look at the ????? that had been rated by the Ministry of Magic level of dangerous creatures.

"The basilisk's gaze is indeed the most dangerous weapon of attack, and any creature that directly interacts with its gaze will be killed instantly, and intersect indirectly - for example, a creature seen through reflection in the mirror or water will be bound and petrified by its whole body... But don't worry, I've put a blindfold made of crystal lenses on its eyes..."Alan pressed his finger on the head of the little basilisk, and the little basilisk curled up on his shoulder, lazily flicking his tail," Of course, wearing regular glasses won't save a person's life when making eye contact with a basilisk, because glasses can still allow the gaze to pass through directly, rather than creating reflections like mirrors and cameras, but my principle is not to use reflections, but to use ancient magic methods, using lenses to directly weaken and absorb the murderous gaze that overflows from its eyes. ”

But even with the isolation of the crystal eye patch, after making eye contact with this cute little basilisk that was just born, everyone felt a slight or heavy discomfort.

Fleur turned her head violently, she seemed to feel her whole body become very stiff, every movement was very difficult, she struggled to open her mouth, only to find that she couldn't even stretch her tongue freely - Fleur had been with Harris for the shortest time, and the soul energy was the weakest, so it was more uncomfortable when facing the gaze of the little basilisk.

Albert, who was only a little dizzy at first sight, was fine, but after seeing his fiancée's discomfort, he hurriedly took Fleur in his arms, helped him to the sofa next to him, and began to show off his affection in public and continue to comfort Fleur.

"With goggles on and still with such power, this little guy is a little more powerful than Josephine you predicted. Owen shook his head away from the basilisk and turned to look at his sister, who seemed completely fine.

"That's a good thing, many families want to tame a dangerous magical creature like a basilisk to protect their wealth and protect their family. Aunt Josephine stared at the little basilisk's yellow eyes, "Not counting the Slytherins left at Hogwarts, there has been no record of sightings of basilisiks in Britain for at least four hundred years, and the Committee for the Disposal of Dangerous Creatures under the Department of Magical Creatures Management and Control I manage will occasionally investigate and deal with several incidents of smuggling basilisk eggs, of course, most of them are fake things, Moody's guy once used an alarm clock given to him by someone else as a basilisk egg... But I've come across a smuggling case where a real guy was involved, but unfortunately it was a dead guy with no signs of life..."

"Alas," Alan sighed regretfully, "it's a pity, otherwise if you can get it back, this little guy will have company." ”

"Many of these magical creatures artificially cultivated by wizards do not have the ability to reproduce. Luna nestled in the couch and rested her head on Helena's materialized lap, "But this monkey-faced pet can indeed reproduce normally..." Chapter 17: Of the Four Warriors, the basilisk may also have the ability to reproduce, as Moody once suspected that the gift he received was a "pretending clever basilisk egg" and that the basilisk could lay eggs despite the fact that the travel alarm clock was smashed by Thirty-Seven Twenty-One. ）

"Gross... Uh-huh..."

Morgan Lefay clutched her chest, and a sour smell of corroded gastric juices emanated from the food she vomited.

"If you don't feel comfortable looking at it, just twist your head, and see if you can do it forcibly..."Owen hugged his wife, half-supported and half-hugged Morgan Lefay to the side of the sofa to rest, and like his eldest son, he also began to show affection in public and continued to comfort Morgan Lefay.

And Kreacher, the house-elf who appeared before Maggie, quickly waved his fingers to clean up the vomit in an instant, then took out the perfume bottle and sprayed it thoughtfully, then bowed to the surrounding masters and disappeared in place.

However, after this incident, almost no one in the family, including Owen, wants to look at the dangerous little basilisk anymore, and although it is not fatal, the almost petrified feeling makes them uncomfortable - and Daisy and Fleur are a bit of a match in this regard, neither of them is very fond of snakes.

"They're your family too... Protect them..."Allen's jaw was slightly retracted, and he lowered his head to hiss at the little basilisk, and the little basilisk who couldn't understand too much information because he was too old raised his head suspiciously, and after Eren passed on his thoughts through the enslavement gem again, the little guy finally understood somewhat.

"You'd better come up one by one and let it identify it. Seeing that the basilisk understood the order, Alan beckoned everyone forward.

Aunt Josephine, who was closest to her, was the first to come over, she stretched out her pale hand and let the little basilisk entangle her, and then felt the coldness on each other's bodies, "It is difficult for other magical creatures to distinguish us from our appearance, after all, they all feel similar to us when we look at them, but the snake's sense of smell is very developed, and the basilisk can also remember human voices, but this one is a little too young, so we had better be patient and try to get along with it more..."

After Josephine, his brother Owen followed with a somewhat relaxed expression, and he obviously realized his state later, and smiled a little self-deprecatingly: "Actually, owning a basilisk was something I couldn't think of before, and at that time, I was afraid that whoever gave me one I was afraid of going to jail and didn't dare to raise it... But since Alan went to Hogwarts, I seem to be a little immune to these things, and it's no wonder..."

"I wouldn't dare raise them without enslaving the gems. Alan affectionately tugged at the little basilisk's tail, "This little guy's attack intent is much stronger than expected." ”

Owen secretly turned his head and glanced at Luna on the sofa, and when he found that the other party was distracted again, he smiled bitterly and shook his head, and then said generously: "Speaking of which, this male egg was brought back by Penelope when he was on your mission in Africa, it's really hard for this girl... Now that it's hatched out of Ellen, do you remember to inform her... By the way, Alan, Penelope, how did her parents convince her? What about Hermione's parents? Did they agree to move to your school town then?"

"Uh... It shouldn't be yet, I'll make sure when I send the news later..."Alan didn't care much about this matter after the two witches said that they could solve it, and after being asked by his father this time, he felt that as the initiator, he should care more.

"It's so cute!"

It turned out that Emily, who was about to play on the side, saw that her father did not get out of the way but chatted with Alan, she walked over directly without patience, and continued to look at the basilisk with a strong paralysis caused by her body, full of admiration for this creature that is both cute and full of danger, "Alan, have you named it?"

"Merope. There was a slight smug hint in Alan's tone.

Owen frowned, "Merope, it seems that you really have some sympathy for the mystery man?"

"Well, not father, I just think the name Gaunt behind this name is quite suitable for this snake, after all, they also have Salazar Slytherin blood. Alan now found a reason to explain, and he remembered that according to the customs here, the name of the elder is mostly out of remembrance and respect - for example, James Potter's son Harry Potter's full name is Harry James Potter, and Harry's eldest son, who is not yet born, is named James Sirius Potter by Harry after his father, which is also known as James Potter...

Allen, who realized that Luna must have been looking at his brain just now, pretended to be angry and glared at Luna on the sofa, Luna just said lightly, "Since there is a resurrection stone, then their family may also be Cadmus Peverell, that is, the descendant of the second eldest in the story of the three Death brothers..."

Owen noticed Emily's puzzled look at them, and habitually turned his head and shouted, "Lunn, explain to us the meaning of the name Merope." ”

But there was no reply, Owen strangely turned back to look for Lunn in the family, Alan also turned back and swept the faces of his family, and suddenly realized that he had made a mistake - let Lunn deal with the dark wizard himself before leaving, and let him buy the local specialty fruit brandy, and Lunn did not have the ability to directly return from Burglia at one time directly and long-distance apparition...

In this case, Lunn would have to wait a little longer to get home, and everyone didn't realize that Lunn was usually absent - his presence was too low when he was fine.
