Chapter 793

The Basque Country is molting. He was not unharmed during the Battle of Hogwarts, and the giant's strange powers were still able to have some effect on him.

"The dean always prepares for a rainy day, and the main entrance that night might have been breached on a large scale if it had not been for the Basque Country. Barrow floated next to Solim and watched with him at the molting Basque.

The "dean" he meant by "Dean" was certainly not Snape.

"Salazar. As the owner of this castle, Slytherin naturally did not rely on those disposable defensive statues. "It's not surprising that he's arranging some extra defenses," Solim said. But I guess he must have left more than a basilisk, right?"

Barrow took a deep look at Solim and said nothing.

"I guess you didn't just call me here to see the Basque molt, did you?"

"I know what Basque's presence means, and although he is only doing the duties assigned to him by the Dean, the exposure of a millennial basilisk to the public is bound to attract some greedy eyes...... It's time for you to be prepared. "

"When I took the Basque Country, you should have expected what is happening today. Solim said: "Unless Basque stays in the Chamber of Secrets forever and never appears in front of people, his exposure is inevitable." "

"Can you protect him?"

"Hehe, you really think too highly of me. Solim smiled and shook his head, "I'm just a wizard who is about to reach adulthood, how can I have the ability to protect a thousand-year-old basilisk from being snatched away." "

The Basque has been resting just now, and now that he has rested enough, he has begun to molt again, and there are stone pillars and statues in the secret room, and Solim, who has also experienced molting, knows that these things are of great help to the Basques.

"If you can't do that, just leave him here, and I'll talk to him when Dumbledore returns." "

"With all due respect, Dumbledore can't save the Basques. Solim went straight to the point, "You can't be as naïve as those fools and fools as you are as a Slytherin student. Even Dumbledore had to compromise in the face of certain pressures. "

Dumbledore had many identities: Honorary President of the International Confederation of Wizards, member of the Order of Sir Merlin, Chief Wizard of the Wizengamot...... But among his list of identities, the only one who can influence the Basque Country is the identity of the Headmaster of Hogwarts. And how did this headmaster come about? It was approved by the Hogwarts Board of Trustees. So who is the Hogwarts Board of Directors? It's too simple for a family like Selwyn to put pressure on the Hogwarts Board members—it's not even a thing.

The Hogwarts Board of Directors can revoke Dumbledore's status as Headmaster, and Dumbledore will naturally have no say in matters related to Hogwarts.

"Then I'll hide him in the Forbidden Forest. "

"Don't be pessimistic, the Basque Country will be fine. "

"You can't protect him—you said it yourself. "

"Yes, I can't protect him, but my family can. Solim looked at Barrow.

"Your family ......," Barrow seemed to chew on the alternative message contained in Solim's words.

Pure-blood families have no personal position in the face of vital interests – only a family position. Solim says he can't protect the Basques, but the Selwyns can...... This made Barrow realize something.

"Your thoughts don't align with your family's?"

"I don't want the Basque to be a cow in captivity – when to milk the cow, when to shovel the manure...... "Solim sighed, "maybe because of our communicative relationship, my sister and I don't see him as an anomaly, but as a friend who can talk, but other wizards don't think much of it." In their eyes, the Basque is just a treasure capable of producing scales, snake molts, venom and fangs – a hen that lays golden eggs. "

"But I don't think you're taking any less advantage, are you?" Barrow glanced at Solim's gloved left hand under his robe.

"Oh, this time thanks to all the bits and pieces that have fallen from the Basque Country, otherwise I wouldn't have known what to do. Solim put his left hand in front of him and looked at it.

"I heard, Filch did it?"

That's interesting, Solim thought, apart from Dumbledore and Evans, no one at Hogwarts should know about Filch, so who did Barrow listen to?

"Yes, I brought it on myself. Solim put down his hand and said in a casual tone, "You just said that you were going to send the Basque Country to the Forbidden Forest. Is there anything there?"

Seeing that Barrow didn't speak, Solim didn't ask any more questions. Anyway, he was going to go to the Forbidden Forest again.

Before Solim took the rest of the centaurs to Hogwarts that night, the centaur elder named "Old Pony" gave him something - a wooden statue of the centaurs. Judging by the details on the statue, it resembles an elder at the time, and it is clear that the statue is a soothsayer among the centaurs.

The elder said that this thing would help him, but Solim didn't understand what the centaur elder was talking about, and he was going to go to the Forbidden Forest again to ask the centaurs.

After the battle, Ronan returned to the Forbidden Forest with the remaining surviving centaurs. Despite their heavy losses, the horses have improved their relationship with the wizards - at least with Hogwarts. They are no longer hostile to wizards. These upright centaurs like to go straight, and the wizards lend a helping hand in their most difficult times, so they want to reciprocate the behavior.

This was wishful thinking on the part of the horses, and if it weren't for Solim, no one would have thought of them at all.

———————————————————————————————————

The reappearance of Solim makes an immediate change at Hogwarts.

First of all, Slytherin, the second generation of Nott is the most entangled. Many of their elders were either captured or killed that night, arguably the most depressing period of all, especially considering that their operation at school that night was not a success.

However, one thing is a good thing for them, that is, coming out of the vanishing locker, the Death Eaters who were chosen to raid the interior of Hogwarts are basically dead, and those who are not dead are firmly controlled by the Order of the Phoenix, and their performance that night will not reach Voldemort's ears "for the time being".

If Solim hadn't let them go, Noether couldn't imagine what would have become. As soon as the battle was over, they went to the eighth floor to see the potholed corridors littered with stumps, broken arms, intestines, and brains. It's impossible to say that Noether isn't grateful to Solim, but they can't show it.

The story of the Malfoys had long since spread among the Death Eaters, and Nott and the others were now sincerely hoping that their family would be the next Malfoy. The only thing that bothered them and the family behind them was how to impress Solim, or rather, Selwyn.

I don't know how many students have been looking for Malfoy's relationship these days, but in Malfoy's words, it's like going back to when I first started.
