Jingyan of HP

49 The Death of the Basilisk

When Snape woke up, he suddenly realized that there was a heat source beside him. The fighting consciousness he had cultivated for a long time made his body tense up. The person pulled and fell into that warm embrace.

"Severus, what's the matter?" Cheng Jing asked sleepily, tightening his arms around his waist.

It was only then that he remembered the virtue of a certain person who begged for admission last night, and couldn't help but get angry, "I think you seem to have forgotten that today is the back-to-school day? As a professor, I am not as leisurely as Mr. Cheng and can lie in bed." , let go! I want to get up!"

"Honey, you called me Mr. Cheng again..." Cheng Jingyan, who was still a little unconscious, rolled over and pressed on him, "I will punish you..." Then he gave him a deep kiss that was almost suffocating .

"Hmm...let go..." Snape finally pushed him away, got off the bed immediately, and rushed into the bathroom as if fleeing.

Cheng Jingyan couldn't help sneezing in the cold air after the quilt was lifted, and finally woke up. He turned his head to look at the closed door of the bathroom, and showed a very nice-er, smirk.

Then he immediately got out of bed and turned Snape's clothes out, and knocked on the bathroom door, "Severus, you come out and put on your clothes before you wash up, it's so cold you'll catch a cold!"

Snape opened the door and came out, seeing that he was only in pajamas, he snorted softly, "Don't bother you!" Then he went to the bed and threw someone's clothes over, "I don't want to waste time I'll make you cold medicine!"

So someone smirked and dressed and made him breakfast.

After breakfast, Snape was called into the office by Dumbledore, who said he wanted to talk to Ginny Weasley.Cheng Jingyan didn't go to watch. Although he had already participated in the great plan of "defeating the Dark Lord" and made a lot of contributions, he was still a student on the surface, so he couldn't show up directly, so he could only stay in the cellar. Waiting anxiously for his Severus to bring him the news.

This waited until noon.His baby Harry went to his dormitory for breakfast this morning but couldn't find him. He harassed him for a long time with QQ swiping screen. After finishing the lunch, Snape stepped out of the fireplace as if pinching his meal.

He looked at Snape as if he was a bit tired, and he didn't bother to ask right away.I didn't know the whole story until after dinner.

The crown was indeed a Horcrux. Ginny Weasley accidentally broke into the Response Room on the eighth floor to get it, and was manipulated by it to create a petrification event and kill Hagrid's rooster.

"So, the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets is indeed in Myrtle's bathroom?" Cheng Jingyan's expression was a little embarrassed, "The entrance to the Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets is actually in the girls' bathroom... This..." He looked at Slytherin hesitantly. Nepe glanced.

Snape's face darkened suddenly, "Don't talk about that!" He said angrily, "The crown has been destroyed, and Albus told you to prepare the weapon against the basilisk. Let's go to the Chamber of Secrets tonight!"

"Okay, okay," Cheng Jingyan nodded helplessly, "Did Ginny Weasley tell me what's going on in the Chamber of Secrets?"

Snape snorted disdainfully, "Hmph, that little female troll who stupidly collects a dark magic item of unknown origin doesn't even have achnatherum splendens in her mind, only remembers that the entrance to the secret room needs to be opened in Parseltongue, what other useful information I don't even remember!"

"So we still have to take Harry?" Cheng Jingyan frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly smiled, "It's okay, anyway, I've already prepared it, well, my dear, the basilisk should be a good potion material ?”

Snape's eyes lit up.

Cheng Jingyan brought out a lot of screw-top glass bottles from the space like offering treasures. This is the high-concentration ether he got from the Muggle world after he knew that the monster in the Chamber of Secrets was a basilisk. "Look, this stuff evaporates quickly. , as long as it is inhaled, the target can be given general anesthesia, and then you can do whatever you want to that basilisk!" After he finished speaking, he had an expression of "quick praise me, quick praise me", "Come on, Give me a reward!"

His darling turned her head and pulled those bottles into her space bag.

He had no choice but to rely on himself and leaned over to poke the person's face.

In the evening, after curfew, Cheng Jingyan mysteriously ran to his baby Harry's dormitory and told him the story.

"Wow! Can I go too?!" The child was so excited that his eyes glowed green.

His dad tried to warn him with a straight face: "Don't run around! Be sure to follow me and listen to the professor!"

"I know, I know, let's go!" Harry pulled him out as soon as he picked up the invisibility cloak.

After meeting Snape in the cellar, they headed to the bathroom on the second floor.

Ever since Harry knew about the tangled relationship between Snape and his parents, every time he saw Snape, he felt that he was also very tangled, and now he was staring at him coldly, so the child had to hide behind his daddy He complained in his heart about his father who "robbed someone's wife".

When they arrived at the destination, Dumbledore was already waiting there with a cage containing a rooster.

A group of people walked into the bathroom.

Myrtle was sitting on the cistern in the last toilet. When she saw Dumbledore walking in front, she floated over excitedly, "Oh, Headmaster, are you here to visit me?"

Dumbledore coughed dryly, "Can you tell me how you died?"

Myrtle's whole appearance changed, and she looked as if she had never been asked such a question to her liking.

"Oh, it was horrible," she relished. "It happened here. I died in this little room. I remember it well. I hid because Hobby was always making fun of my glasses." The door was locked and I was crying when I heard someone come in and they were saying something weird. I guess it must be in a foreign language. Anyway, it was a boy's voice that really caught my attention. So, I Open the door, tell him to use his toilet, and—" she said triumphantly emphatically, her face glowing, "I'm dead."

"How?" Harry asked curiously.

"I don't know," Myrtle said in a quiet voice, "I just remember seeing a pair of huge yellow eyes, and my whole body seemed to be lifted up, and then, I floated away..." She Looking at Harry with dreamy eyes, "Then, I came back again. I decided to pester Hebby, oh, she regretted laughing at me."

Dumbledore asked her, "Where did you see those eyes?"

"Probably over there," she said, pointing vaguely to the sink in front of her toilet.

They walked over.

It looked like an ordinary sink, and they checked every inch, inside and out, including the pipes underneath, and then Harry saw, a tiny snake carved into the side of the copper tap.

"That faucet never turns on," Myrtle said happily, as Harry tried to turn the faucet.

Dumbledore said with a smile, "Harry, say 'open' to the snake."

Harry looked like he was brewing for a moment, and then he made a "hissing" sound.

In an instant, the faucet was covered in a brilliant white light and began to spin, and then the sink began to move.In fact, the sink sinks to reveal a wide pipe wide enough for a person to slide in.

Harry looked up at the three adults.

Cheng Jingyan put a bubble head curse on himself and him, and reminded the other two to do the same, then he took out a few glass bottles filled with ether and threw them into the pipe.

After about ten seconds, there was a slight sound of a bottle breaking in the pipe. They waited for a few more minutes, and then Snape jumped in first, Cheng Jingyan led Harry in the middle, and Dumbledore took the cock queen.

The pipe was filthy, dark, and seemingly endless, and many other pipes could be seen stretching sideways, but none were as large, twisting, spinning, and sliding down as steeply as this one.

Just when Cheng Jingyan began to worry about what would happen after landing, the pipe stretched out horizontally, and then Snape fell from the front, and before he could scream, he shot out from the end of the pipe and landed on the rock. on the wet floor of the basement.

Quickly, he drew Harry closer to his arms, and then began to survey his surroundings.

After Dumbledore also arrived, he cast a dozen cleaning spells on several people very intimately.And Snape had already lit his wand and began to explore forward.

They started to set off, walking in the wetlands, the sound of their footsteps was extremely loud.There was so much space here that they could only see a short distance ahead.In the glow of the wand, their shadows were reflected on the wall, looking extremely terrifying.

Harry tightly grasped the corner of Cheng Jingyan's clothes.

Snape stopped suddenly.

Ahead of them, a huge, curved thing lay just around the corner of the tunnel, and it didn't move.

Snape raised his wand a little higher and took a few cautious steps forward, and the others hurried to follow.

"Wow..." Harry sighed with his mouth open.

What flashed across was a piece of python skin, disgusting bright green, curled up, lying empty on the floor of the underground tunnel.The python that shed this skin must have been at least twenty feet long.

Snape turned his head, staring at Cheng Jingyan with bright eyes.

"I know, I know." Cheng Jingyan smiled and put the snake slough into the space.

They went on, turned another bend, and a solid wall loomed before them.Carved on the wall are two intertwined snakes, their eyes set with huge shining emeralds.

"Harry, go ahead and say 'Open'," Dumbledore ordered.

"Open it," said Harry in a low, faint hiss.

The wall cracked, and the two snakes separated.The two walls slid apart in a balanced manner and disappeared without a trace.

They went in and stood at the end of a stone chamber.The stone chamber is quite large and dimly lit.Towering stone pillars entwined with more stone-carved serpents rose up, disappearing into the dark ceiling.

Snape gripped his wand tightly, and walked slowly between the pillars carved with pythons, each step echoing through the walls.

Cheng Jingyan handed Harry a bottle of ether, followed nervously, and Dumbledore was already on guard.

When they reached the last pair of pillars, a sculpture as tall as the stone chamber jumped into view.The sculpture stood close to the back wall and looked quite old. It looked like a monkey, with a long sparse beard hanging down to the bottom of the stone robe, and two gray legs standing on the smooth floor of the stone room.

Cheng Jingyan's expression suddenly became weird, he looked at Snape, and asked hesitantly: "Uh, Severus, is this..."

"Shut up!" Snape said murderously.

Dumbledore chuckled and said to Harry, "Harry, speak Parseltongue to the statue again, just say 'Speak to me, Slytherin! The greatest of the Hogwarts Four ', well, I think, Miss Weasley said she seemed to remember saying so."

Harry hissed at the statue.

The huge stone face moved.To Harry's horror, he saw its mouth open, widen and wide, until it formed a gigantic black hole.Something was moving in the mouth of the statue, gliding upwards from the depths of the statue.

"Severus, hurry up!" Cheng Jingyan frantically took out several bottles of ether and threw them into the stone sculpture's mouth. In his haste, he even found a few folding stools, which seemed to be placed next to the vegetable field in the space Yes, he also threw it out, and then pulled Harry back quickly.

Snape dropped a few bottles too, then retreated to him.

Dumbledore released the rooster from its cage and cast a spell, which immediately crowed vigorously.

A loud "hissing" sound came from the stone sculpture's mouth.

"Huh? It said the eyes hurt..." Harry said in amazement, "and said the cock was horrible..."

The ground was shaking, and the tumbling sound from the stone carving's mouth became louder and closer.

"Everyone shut your eyes!" Snape yelled, pulling Cheng Jingyan and Harry behind a pillar.

Cheng Jingyan took the time to ask Harry: "Harry, what else did it say?"

"It said it was dizzy and said 'I'm going to kill you...kill you' and all that, and Harry whispered, 'Ah, it's coming out! "

Cheng Jingyan quickly covered his eyes, and closed them himself.

The "hissing" sound was getting closer and closer, and suddenly—the sound stopped abruptly, and then a dull heavy object fell to the ground, and the secret room was instantly silent.

Everyone waited for a while, but nothing happened.Cheng Jingyan opened his eyes and looked out, and then his eyes widened immediately.

A green giant python as thick as a beech tree by the Black Lake stretched out its stone-carved mouth, lying quietly on the ground, its two eyes still bleeding.

"Severus, that basilisk...it seems to be really drugged...and the eye was smashed!" he exclaimed in surprise.

Only then did everyone open their eyes.

To be on the safe side, Snape also threw a few spells in the direction of the basilisk, until he confirmed that there was no danger, he ran over in three steps at a time, and used the levitation spell to drag the entire body of the basilisk out. During the period, several folding stools stained with blood were dragged out.

The author has something to say: Some girls, the folding stool you are looking forward to is here...
