The Wizarding Journey of Hogwarts

Chapter 174 The First Knee Pillow
The next morning, after Hermione entered the auditorium with Bell, she was surprised to learn that the basilisk had been killed! ?
Every little wizard around was talking about it loudly.Some people who still had some doubts, after being told that the news came from Professor McGonagall, also believed it.

As for who and how the basilisk was killed, there are different opinions.

Some people say that Professor Dumbledore killed the basilisk.The previous news that Professor Dumbledore was dismissed from the position of principal was actually a bait, in order to let the heir of Slytherin relax his vigilance.

Others say that it was Harry Potter who killed the basilisk.Harry, who was unwilling to return to live among Muggles, finally untied his own seal, released a powerful force, and crushed the basilisk to death.

Even the most outrageous, some people even said that when the basilisk attacked a little wizard, it wanted to eat him, but unfortunately choked itself to death.

In fact, it's not that Professor McGonagall deliberately concealed the cause of the basilisk's death. The problem is that she really doesn't know how the basilisk died!

When she appeared on the scene, the basilisk was already on the verge of death.And because she was afraid of coming into contact with the sight of the basilisk, she didn't approach it.

In addition, it was in the early hours of the morning, and the lights were dark, so until the house elf named Lim took away the body of the basilisk, she couldn't observe the wounds on the basilisk.

After going back last night, the more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong.

How could a second-year little wizard defeat a basilisk by himself?
You know, the basilisk is a very terrifying magical creature.Not only does it have a touch-to-death vision, but its fangs are also nearly unsolvable.

Even most adult wizards, after encountering the basilisk, can only pray that they are lucky enough to escape successfully.

Therefore, compared to a second-year little wizard who can kill the basilisk, Professor McGonagall thinks it is more reliable to say that this little wizard is actually the reincarnation of Merlin.

Ultimately, Professor McGonagall concluded: 'It cannot be the basilisk that Bel Menethil killed! '.

Perhaps it was the house-elf's hand?Maybe some unknown powerful magic item was used?After all, the Menethil family is most famous for the various magic accessories produced by their family.

Sly brat!Even before she arrived, she pretended to kill the basilisk alone, so she almost believed it!

And it is precisely because of this consideration, coupled with Dumbledore's hint, that Professor McGonagall did not explain the cause of the Basilisk's death when facing the curious little wizards.

……

"Bell! The basilisk is dead? Did you do it? Why didn't you tell me!?"

"It's not a big deal, there's nothing to say."

As soon as the shameful basilisk was mentioned, Bell felt unmotivated.

"It's not even a big deal!? What is it? In your opinion, it's a big deal!

How are you?Are you hurt? "

Hermione groped Bell nervously, wanting to check if Bell was missing something.

"Let's put... ouch, I actually have a headache."

Bell suddenly realized that this was a godsend opportunity!

As the saying goes, "If God does not take, he will be blamed." If he misses this kind of god-given opportunity, he might be punished by God.

"Headache? Why didn't you tell me about the headache earlier! Besides, you had such intense training in the morning, wouldn't you take a day off!"

Hermione scolded worriedly.

She tried her best to stand on her toes, and put her hand on Bell's forehead to feel it.

"Hermione, I don't have a fever, what can you find if you touch your forehead?"

Bell was speechless.

"Then what should we do? That's right! Let's go to Madam Pomfrey and let her show you!"

With that said, Hermione pulled Bell and was about to go out.

"stop!"

Bell grabbed Hermione.

"Madame Pomfrey can't help me with this problem."

"what!?"

Hearing that the problem was so serious that Madam Pomfrey couldn't solve it, Hermione was so anxious that she almost burst into tears.

"Then what should we do? Bell, why don't we ask the professor for a leave of absence and go to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries. I heard that there is..."

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Bell, who realized that he was a little out of play, hurriedly explained.

"What I mean is that the problem is not serious, so Madam Pomfrey doesn't need to take action, and it will be fine after a while.

However, I knew there was a way to ease my pain and speed up my recovery. "

Bell is about to show up.

"What way? Is there anything I can do to help?"

Hermione wished to take the bait.

"This method really requires your help."

Bell pulled Hermione to the corner of the auditorium, used Transfiguration to turn a chair into a couch, and sat on it side by side with Hermione.

"In fact, a gentle massage of the temples has been effective in relieving my pain. Can you help me?"

"Of course!"

It was rare to be able to help Bell. At this moment, Hermione was full of fighting spirit.

Showing a tricky smile, Bell lay on Hermione's lap, enjoying the massage from his girlfriend's soft little hands.

Although the Yimapingchuan in front of him somewhat disappointed him, it didn't affect his excitement about enjoying the knee pillow for the first time at all.

"Bell, what happened? How did you get hurt?"

The naive Hermione didn't have the slightest suspicion until now.Now she is full of worries about her boyfriend.

"Oh~!"

Bell showed a look of unbearable past memories.

"The basilisk was so unexpected that I was shocked when I saw it. I haven't recovered from it until now."

Yes, even now, Bell still feels weak when he thinks of the huge gap last night, wishing he could rush into the Forbidden Forest and fight with the acromantulas again!
So strictly speaking, Bell did not lie.

After all, 'honesty' is one of his few advantages.

The two just enjoyed a warm time like no one else was there.Of course, others can't see the two of them.

Although Bell doesn't care about the eyes of others, he still has to worry about the feelings of his thin-skinned girlfriend.So at the very beginning, he opened the expulsion barrier.

A loud shout suddenly sounded, suppressing the vented celebrations of the little wizards.

"Mr. Menethil! Is Mr. Bel Menethil here? If you are, please come here. Professor Dumbledore has something to ask for you!"

Professor McGonagall stood in the middle of the auditorium, shouting loudly.

She had already searched around the auditorium just now, because Dumbledore had clearly told her that Bell was in the auditorium.

If she didn't know that Dumbledore would not joke with her about this kind of thing, she would have thought she had been fooled again!
By the way, why did she use 'again'?
