A day at Hogwarts

"Wow, this is the basilisk. It's so big!"

Seamus was "referring" to his homework just now, and was suddenly brought here by Fox. At first, when he saw the professors, they thought he had made some mistake, but he didn't expect that it was such an interesting thing.

Dumbledore conjured four flying stretchers and sent Harry, Ron, Ginny and Hermione away, and then everyone started looking for the Horcrux notebook.

Seamus was first attracted by the basilisk's body, looked around it several times, and then reached out to touch it.

He looked around and saw that the professors were all looking for something, so he quietly pulled out some scales.

The basilisk's body was covered in wounds from the whomping willow, and the scales near the wounds were easily removed.

He put the scales into his pocket, looked around again and found that Charles had been squatting by the snake's tail.

"What are you looking at?" Simo curiously squatted opposite and observed with him.

Charles said in a deep voice: "Someone once cut off part of the basilisk's tail."

Ordinary snake tails are pointed and have scales at the end, but the basilisk's tail is a bit unnaturally flat, and the meat in the cross-section has no scales.

Seamus poked it with his finger and said, "Maybe it was injured in a fight with someone before."

"It may have been eaten." Charles said, "Cook the snake meat in water and shred it. Fry the shredded meat slightly with lard, then steam it with wine, salt, ginger slices, and green onions for about an hour, and then snake it Boil the shredded pork, shredded chicken, shredded mushrooms, shredded fish maw, shredded fungus, and stock, and finally add some salt, pepper, water starch, and lard..."

Simo's mouth watered after hearing this. After swallowing, he asked, "Is it delicious?"

Charles was silent for a long time and said, "It should be delicious."

Seamus began to roll up his sleeves: "Then what are we waiting for?"

Charles looked around. The professors were carefully searching the stone pillars with carvings of coiled snakes in the secret room and the Slytherin statue at the end. He didn't look here, so he nodded to Seamus.

"Take the venom first."

Charles took out an empty bottle, opened the snake's mouth, and put the intact fang inside.

The snake's venom glands are located behind the eyes, so the length of Charles' wand comes into play. It can be extended into the snake's mouth and squeeze out the venom from back to front.

He then thought that the venom of the basilisk could add poisonous properties to weapons. In "Memory", Gryffindor's great sword was stained with the venom of the basilisk and had the power to destroy Horcruxes.

What if you use these venom to enchant other things, such as bullets or something.

The venom from the venom glands on both sides of the basilisk was quickly taken out. It was a little troublesome to break off the tooth, but it was not a big problem.

Dumbledore conjured a staircase in front of the Slytherin statue. After climbing up, he found that the inside of the statue's mouth was empty, and the Horcrux notebook was placed inside.

But now the notebook has become charred black, and when picked up, the pages turned into black charcoal and fell to the ground. There is an unpleasant smell in the air, and only the cover is still intact.

Dumbledore's face turned ugly. Horcruxes would not be damaged for no reason, so there was only one possibility: the soul had changed places.

He searched in the cave, but there was nothing here except rat bones and basilisk poop. Tom would definitely not use poop to make a Horcrux.

He looked around and had a very bad thought in his mind. What if Tom uses this castle as a Horcrux? Is it going to explode?

"Charles, what are you doing!"

Dumbledore's roar made everyone look back and saw that Charles was cutting a piece of meat from the basilisk and putting it in the bag.

In just a short time, Charles had removed most of the flesh and bones from the basilisk, leaving only the empty snake skin.

When Charles faced the professors who gathered around him, he had already thought of an excuse: "You don't know that raising Ruby is not easy. Its taste is so tricky that it won't eat good food. I was almost trained to be a chef by it. In order to think about it, It’s so hard for me to find a way to feed it delicious food.”

"If you don't believe me, ask Seamus. In the dormitory, I have to study recipes whenever I have free time."

Seamus nodded in agreement, and he would get a share of Ruby's food.

Snape said angrily: "The Basilisk is Slytherin's pet and it belongs to Slytherin House. You are stealing Slytherin House's things and should be expelled!"

Before Professor McGonagall could speak, Seamus put his hands on his hips and said angrily: "This monster almost killed me. In addition to me, there are students from Ravenclaw House and Hufflepuff House. Do you want Charles to help buy Mann?" Dracula is still like a stone in the school doctor's office, shouldn't I eat its flesh?"

"Since you said it belongs to Slytherin House, then Slytherin House should compensate us!"

"My demands are not high. It is reasonable for us victims to ask for 100 academy points each."

Seamus was one of the victims who was petrified by the basilisk. He must have felt uncomfortable when he was suddenly almost killed while doing homework in school. Now that the principal and his dean were here, of course he would take the opportunity to vent his resentment. This was said so confidently that it overwhelmed Snape and left him unable to refute.

Snape's face was as cold as liquid helium, and veins appeared in the hand holding the wand.

The other professors nearby watched indifferently. Just because of the words written on the door, some people are now starting to think about who the new dean of Slytherin House will be next school year.

However, Professor McGonagall still said to Seamus very seriously: "Finigan, you must be polite when you speak to the professor. You will be deducted three points from Gryffindor for your rudeness. Apologize to Professor Snape immediately."

Seamus also wanted to contradict Professor McGonagall, but Charles tugged on his sleeve and then reluctantly apologized.

At this time, Dumbledore came over and sighed in his heart. There were some things that had to be discussed with everyone individually. Now was not the time to talk.

The basilisk was solved, the students were rescued, and the damaged Horcrux was found. It was time to retreat.

Dumbledore and Charles called two phoenixes and took everyone away, leaving the basilisk's body and its outer skin intact.

In less than ten minutes, Charles returned to the door of the secret room, looked for the fragments of the door on the ground, and then put them together.

"Did you write the last line?" Charles seemed to be saying to himself.

Jack appeared behind him and said, "Guess when I came to write."

Charles replied: "No guess."

Charles didn't care about the old man's spoilers. It was good that Voldemort hadn't been captured by him and had a child adopted into the name of Ominis Gaunt before being killed.

As for the impact, wizards are still aware of the accuracy of prophecies. For example, Trelawny predicted that Harry would have 12 children in the future. It was full of flaws in every aspect. According to the way Harry named the children, it was definitely There will be someone named Hedwig Potter.

Jack asked Charles: "What do you care about those lines of words left behind?"

Charles said: "Maybe they are people from different worlds like me. Since I can travel through time, there's no reason why others can't."

Jack said: "Other worlds, I really want to see them."

"It's easy." Charles laughed, "Go to Japan and find a big truck to hit."

Jack gave the guy a Cruciatus Curse on his butt. It wasn't painful, but the effect lasted locally for several days, so much so that some people suspected he had hemorrhoids.
