Chapter 267: Fighting with the basilisk and escaping death

When Ron heard what Professor Lockhart said, he couldn't help but turn to look at Hermione.

"Hermione, please tell me, are you one of the 46 people?"

Hermione lowered her head and flipped through her class schedule in her schoolbag, but didn't answer.

Valentine's Day was a disaster.

The so-called cupid dwarf hired by Professor Lockhart is not only active in the auditorium, but also breaks into the classroom and delivers Valentine's Day cards to every wizard.

Other little wizards can see through the frequency of dwarves entering the classroom, which little wizard is more popular?

But that's not the point. The point is that it annoys the teachers.

In the evening when everyone gathered together to have dinner.

Ron discusses what happened today.

"I guess Professor Lockhart must not have been angry with the other professors, otherwise the other professors wouldn't be so bored."

Hermione said: "Even if they are angry, they never thought that these cupid dwarfs would even break into the classroom where classes are being held. Is this still Valentine's Day?

In a serious class, having a dwarf read the content of a love letter out loud is simply a torture. The person who sent the letter did not consider the mood of the recipient at all. "

Among them, Draco's expression could be described as gloomy as water.

Because during class today, he received many letters from the dwarf, the god of love.

He sat in class and heard someone read out the content of a love letter written to him. What was that——

"Skin as delicate as milk", "Pink lips as pink as cherry blossoms", "Platinum blonde hair that is even worse than gold", "Fragrant breeze when walking"...

After hearing this, he could dig out a castle with his toes!

He is considered the ultimate victim in this love letter incident.

If he could, Draco would have written seventy or eighty love letters to Professor Lockhart and interrupted his class.

Let the dwarfs line up one by one to read out the contents of the love letter in the classroom, making Lockhart feel ashamed!

On the contrary, Professor Lockhart enjoyed being in the spotlight.

If he did this, it would make the other person feel very happy, which would go against Draco's original intention.

Draco couldn't bear it and said: "If another dwarf of love appears in front of me, I will definitely cast a curse on him. I will seal his tongue so that he can't make any sound!"

But that's it.

After a while, a dwarf appeared in front of them. Draco had already taken out his wand and stared at the dwarf walking towards him with stern eyes, somewhat ready to make a move.

But luckily, the dwarf's target was not Draco, but Harry who was sitting nearby.

"Hey, you, Harry Potter!" The dwarf's face looked very gloomy.

Harry suddenly felt very nervous and found many young wizards looking over.

Oh, damn!

This is the auditorium, the place with the most people!

Harry absolutely did not want to hear the contents of love letters written to him in front of so many people. What kind of social death scene was this?

He immediately stood up and tried to run away.

But before he could even take two steps, the dwarf kicked people's calves all the way and pushed through the crowd to catch up with him.

"I have a message with music that I want to deliver to Harry Potter personally." The dwarf said, strumming the harp in an aggressive manner.

Harry whispered, his eyes wandering, and he wanted to run away again.

"No, not here!"

But the dwarf was extremely strong at this time and grabbed Harry's schoolbag and pulled him back.

"Stop!" the dwarf insisted Harry stop.

"No, let me go!" Harry tugged hard on his schoolbag.

With a click, the schoolbag was torn in half.

The book, wand, parchment, and quill clattered to the floor, and the ink bottle shattered on top of it, leaving a puddle of black ink on the floor.

While he was picking up his schoolbag, the dwarf simply sat on him and held him down.

"Okay, listen, this is a Valentine's Day love letter someone gave you."

Under the cadence of the voice, Harry's face turned red and he felt so embarrassed that he didn't dare to look up at the other little wizards.

There is no wizard more disgraceful than him in the whole world.

"His eyes are as green as fresh toads, and his hair is as black and chic as a blackboard. I hope he is mine. He is really handsome. He is the warrior who conquered the Dark Lord~"

Ron looked at this scene in shock, suddenly thought of something, and immediately turned to look at Ginny.

If he had read correctly before, the last person this dwarf came into contact with was Ginny.

He saw Ginny handing a letter to the dwarf. Could it be that this letter was written by Ginny?

Ginny was lowering her head, covering her face with her hands, and looked over through the gaps between her fingers, her eyes sparkling with excitement and curiosity.

Ron couldn't help but hold his forehead, he was so fucking messed up!

Draco had been walking with Ron before and saw Ginny handing a letter to the dwarf.

After the dwarf received the letter, he came to Harry aggressively.

He also turned to look at Ginny, as if he understood something, and said in a tone that only he and Ron could hear:

"Your sister sounds like she has good writing skills, but this love letter is just not at the right time."

Ron was feeling irritable and cursed back: "Get out!"

Seeing the chaos in the auditorium, Lin Xia and Hermione looked at each other and decided not to stay in the auditorium.

They ate in a hurry and did not go to the laboratory, but came to the library instead.

Hermione was looking for information, while Lin Xia felt that her laboratory might not be able to stop the dwarves.

If these dwarves kept knocking on the door of the laboratory, she would be very annoyed, so she simply ran to the library.

Under the surveillance of Madam Pince, the dwarves were still a little afraid of this angry librarian.

After arriving at the library, Lin Xia found that Mikkel was also in the library.

He probably thought that no one would find out that he was always walking back and forth in a certain place, and Lin Xia's eyes flashed slightly.

The place where Mikkel walked was the place where she went to the forbidden book area before. As long as she stepped into a certain place, she could go to a different space and come to the real forbidden book area.

But it was obvious that the real forbidden area was not so easy to enter.

Lin Xia entered the forbidden area twice, both times under the guidance of the professor.

She thought that perhaps only the professor had the key to the space in the forbidden area.

Or maybe only the professor can open it, or maybe she can enter because she has obtained the application for entry through the secret key.

There may be many ways to enter, but it is not that Mikel can enter by walking around like this.

Hermione has found the information she wants, and turned to look at Lin Xia. Seeing that Lin Xia was looking at a certain place, she couldn't help but look over.

She frowned and asked, "What is Mikel doing? Why is he always walking around? Is he looking for something?"

Lin Xia shrugged, "I don't know, but I know that Madam Pince has been staring at him for a long time. If he keeps walking like this, Madam will definitely drive him out."

Hermione saw that Lin Xia seemed to be interested in this scene, and it was rare that she was not immersed in the book, but read it with her.

This time, she found many different places.

Hermione frowned again: "I don't think he's looking for books. His head is always looking down at the floor. Is he looking for some kind of secret compartment?

No, the library is so empty, is there a basement or something like that?"

Lin Xia raised her eyebrows and put forward another idea: "I always feel that he is scouting."

Hermione snorted and said with a smile: "What is there in the library that needs to be scouted? Is he going to make some big news here? What does he think of Hogwarts?"

If there is a problem in other classrooms, Hermione will still believe it, but there is absolutely no problem in the library.

The place where knowledge is stored has always been the most strictly guarded place in the entire Hogwarts.

On the surface, there is only one administrator, Madam Pince, but in fact, many professors are watching.

It was only after Hermione became an excellent student that she realized how much manpower the school has deployed to the library.

It's a pity that they can't analyze more reasons from Mikel's motives, because Madam Pince suddenly came over and drove him away mercilessly.

There is no more drama to watch, Lin Xia looked elsewhere casually.

Suddenly, she felt something was wrong, and had a bad feeling in her heart.

Lin Xia whispered: "Hermione, do you think the library is a bit empty?"

Hermione nodded: "Yes, today is Valentine's Day, they went to the auditorium to watch a play."

Lin Xia's feeling of uneasiness became heavier, she stood up suddenly, and pulled Hermione up by the way.

"Let's go to the laboratory to see." Lin Xia said.

Hermione was puzzled: "Ah? Aren't you worried that the laboratory can't lock up the Cupid dwarf, so you came to the library, why-"

Before she finished speaking, she saw Lin Xia's face change drastically.

Lin Xia said loudly: "Hermione, close your eyes!"

Hermione immediately closed her eyes, and pulled out her wand with her backhand, and cast an armor spell on herself.

And Lin Xia also closed her eyes. The moment she saw the tail of the basilisk appear, she used her wand to complete three spells:

Armor spell, shattered bones, rebound spell!

Bang!

A huge force came, Lin Xia held Hermione tightly, and felt her body moving backwards, hitting rows of bookshelves.

But because they used the Armor Charm in advance, they were not hurt in this round of impact, except that the books were knocked to the ground.

On the contrary, the basilisk suffered a lot in this wave of collision.

The Armor Charm blocked its attack, and the Rebound Charm also rebounded the force of its tail whipping, making it bear its own attack.

At the same time, it had to bear Lin Xia's "smashed to pieces"!

Lin Xia's smashed to pieces was not a joke, it used full strength, and the basilisk felt as if the bones in its body were about to break, and rolled on the ground in pain.

Hermione screamed: "What should I do? Lin Xia!"

Lin Xia replied calmly: "Close your eyes, Hermione, you must not open your eyes, use the Super Sense Charm to strengthen your five senses, we can find the position of the basilisk."

When Lin Xia answered, she also heard the basilisk's fragmented voice in her ears.

She thought that she finally understood Harry at this moment.

The voice of the basilisk was just as Harry described -

It was so cold and evil, as if all the evil in the world was concentrated in one place, making people's scalps numb and their hair stand on end!

"I'm so hungry, so hungry, I want to eat people, I want to kill you..."

"Order... kill... clean up... purify..."

"Kill you, kill you, kill everyone..."

Lin Xia took a deep breath and tried to calm her mind and block out the sound of the basilisk.

She used the supersensory spell to enhance her hearing and heard the sound of the basilisk tumbling and swaying, and also heard a series of tiny footsteps.

The footsteps seemed to be from Madam Pince, but soon, she didn't hear them again.

Lin Xia's heart sank slightly. Madam Pince saw the basilisk and was probably petrified.

Soon, she heard a series of footsteps again. There should be a lot of people heading here.

I don't know who took the lead, or if other little wizards heard the movement and went here.

The basilisk has not been driven away. Once they encounter it, those little wizards will be petrified.

No!

Can't let the basilisk succeed!

Lin Xia waved her wand. Although she couldn't see it, she still attacked it with a firm belief: "Smash it to pieces! Thunder and lightning! Flesh and bones separated!"

Each spell was cast from a different location. She was also trying to find the specific location of the basilisk. As long as she could be hit by a spell, it would be a victory.

"Ahhh, it hurts so much, it hurts so much..."

"This damn wizard, I must eat her, eat her!"

Lin Xia listened carefully to the movement of the basilisk. This movement was very similar to the reaction after using the "crushed to pieces" spell.

Although the basilisk is highly resistant to magic, the reactions caused by different spells are different.

She immediately figured out the position of the basilisk, mobilized the magic power of her body, and said at a very fast speed: "Crushed to pieces, crushed to pieces, crushed to pieces!"

A burst of anger from the bottom of her heart sounded, and she heard the roar of the basilisk after its death, which also affected her mood.

The footsteps of other wizards were getting closer and closer, and they seemed to be pushing open the door of the library.

Lin Xia held the magic wand tightly in front of her, and closed her eyes, but her head looked in the direction of the basilisk.

She whispered in snake language and roared: "Get back!"

The basilisk made a retreating sound, and shouted "I want to kill her" in a somewhat cowardly way, but it also kept retreating.

Finally, Lin Xia no longer heard the voice of the basilisk.

At this time, the voices of other young wizards also came in surprise.

"Lin Xia, Hermione, what happened to you?"

Lin Xia opened her eyes and looked around.

The ground was in a mess, books were thrown to the ground in a mess, several bookcases fell, some books seemed to be crushed by some kind of gravity, and the spines were broken.

Some books were separated from each other, with a crooked mark in the middle, and the ceiling had several holes, and plaster fragments fell down.

Not far from them, Madam Pince turned into an upright stone statue.

The young wizards screamed when they saw the stone statue.

In this chaotic situation, Lin Xia breathed a sigh of relief and looked down at Hermione in her arms.

She patted Hermione gently and said softly: "Hermione, it's okay."

Hermione opened her eyes and her face was wet with tears.

No one expected that they had just fought with the serpent monster and escaped from the snake's mouth!
