Chapter 99: New Victims, Secret Chamber

After Dobby completed the oath, Aiden completely erased the contract between Dobby and the Malfoy family.

"You can do this kind of thing." Harry was a little surprised.

"After all, I am far superior to ordinary people in the spiritual realm." Aiden said modestly.

"Okay, Dobby, now I'll give you your first task. You need to lurk in the Malfoy family and provide us with intelligence."

"Yes, sir." Dobby saluted and disappeared into the air.

Harry had a complicated expression as he watched the two people talking. It was the first time he felt powerless towards someone his own age.

"Hermione: "?" Harry: "You are my mother and you don't count."

Just as Harry was about to ask something else, Aiden suddenly pushed him onto the bed and covered him with a blanket.

Then Aiden disappeared into the air, and there was a burst of noise outside the door.

Two professors came in carrying a person, and Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall followed anxiously behind.

The person carried in was Colin, who was coming to visit Harry. He held a camera in one hand and a bunch of grapes in the other.

"I think he is petrified, Pomfrey."

Professor McGonagall covered Colin with a blanket.

"Perhaps Mr. Colin was about to take a picture of the intruder. Fortunately, I went downstairs to have a cup of hot chocolate and found him."

Dumbledore took down Colin's camera, and smoke came out of it.

"What's going on, Headmaster?" Professor McGonagall looked at him worriedly.

"Perhaps, we should tell everyone the truth. Hogwarts is no longer safe. The Chamber of Secrets has been opened." Dumbledore murmured.

Harry, who was standing by, looked even more gloomy when he heard these words.

Afterwards, several professors left the medical wing.

Dumbledore patrolled the corridors, trying to find any sign of the attacker.

"Perhaps you need the help of an old senior student in the United States, Professor."

A clear young voice came from behind Dumbledore.

"Well, your skills are getting better and better, Aiden." Dumbledore pushed up his glasses.

"Well, the moonlight is just right, let's go for a walk together."

Aiden smiled and said that this time he was definitely not trying to be mysterious in reporting the incident in the forbidden forest last year.

"Wow, an excellent student invites me, how can I not accompany him?"

Dumbledore gestured for permission.

Aiden led Dumbledore all the way to the abandoned women's bathroom on the second floor of the castle.

"So, you're bringing an old man to the ladies' room late at night?" Dumbledore's glasses flashed with doubt.

"Maybe we have to come here at night to get the blessing of the master of the bathroom." Aiden joked.

Aiden took out his wand, put it to his mouth like a trumpet, and blew hard while spinning it.

Golden powder flew out from the tip of the magic wand and covered the surroundings.

The powder formed a huge figure around it and slowly crawled towards the drainpipe.

Seeing the revealed image, Dumbledore also recognized what it was.

"Excellent spell, twenty points for Ravenclaw."

Dumbledore smiled and gave Aiden extra points. At the same time, Dumbledore breathed a sigh of relief when he learned about his opponent.

"Newt's spell. It seems that you have a close relationship with him. He actually taught you his specialty."

Dumbledore joked with Aiden.

"I begged him for a long time. I didn't expect that Senior Newt is also a man of character. He specially improved the spell to catch magical creatures."

Aiden watched the giant snake formed by the gold powder crawl into the secret room and continued,

"Okay, professor, now it's time to deal with it." Aiden replaced the short staff with a long staff.

"Well, now that the contents of the Chamber of Secrets are under control, I have a plan."

Aiden understood what he meant and looked at Dumbledore, and they smiled at each other.

For some reason, Harry, who was far away in the medical wing, always felt a chill invading him.

Then Dumbledore summoned the Phoenix, and in the flickering light of flames, the two entered the Chamber of Secrets.

The decoration of the secret room is very simple, which is in line with the simple thinking of people in that era.

The interior is decorated with stone pillars carved with coiled serpents, and there is a statue of Salazar Slytherin at the end.

Our Dean Salazar has done a very adequate job in terms of protection. Along the way, Aiden discovered at least twenty alchemical traps targeting non-Hogwarts personnel.

However, the old dean still made an oversight. He never expected that it was his descendants who brought the phoenix to break into his secret room.

The mechanism that trapped the basilisk was also violently dismantled by Dumbledore, and the basilisk crawled out of the mouth of the old dean's statue.

"Does our old Slytherin headmaster have any strange hobbies?" Aiden got goosebumps when he saw this scene.

"Aiden, it's not good to criticize predecessors."

Dumbledore calmly waved his wand and the entire basilisk was hung up by him.

"Well, what should we do with this guy now? It really gives the old man a headache."

Dumbledore said, still staring at Aiden.

"Hey, could you be serious? Where is the strong and reliable principal when we first met?" Aiden sighed.

"Perhaps reality and ideals are always drifting further and further apart." Dumbledore blinked.

Ignoring Dumbledore's antics, Aiden turned his attention back to business.

“My suggestion is to complete Eihwaz (?). The creation of the basilisk itself is closely related to this rune. Helbo used consciousness to weaken the power of ?.

The runes that originally symbolized the cycle of life and death have now become nothing more than the power of death. This is a common problem among dark wizards, who simply pursue extreme destruction. "

"Then, this difficult task will be handed over to our Master Alchemist Pwett."

Dumbledore waved his hand and prepared to leave.

"Hey, are you just leaving this shit to me? Be careful or I'll sue you for abusing child labor." Aiden put his hands on his hips.

"There is no law to protect minors among wizards." Dumbledore's voice came from a distance, and it seemed that he was really going to leave.

Aiden was the only one left in the secret room, and he began to transform the basilisk.

"Well, look at these big, Caroline eyes." Aiden looked into the basilisk's eyes.

"You're dead," the basilisk thought to himself.

But nothing happened. The deadly magic entered Aiden's body through his eyes and was completely digested in the blink of an eye.

In Aiden's case, his body stiffened slightly and then returned to normal.

Aiden's heterochromatic eyes began to exude dragon power, and the basilisk quickly lowered its head, not daring to look Aiden in the eye.

"Is it a snake after all? Dragon and snake, dragon and snake. Is there really a mystical connection between them?" Aiden touched his chin, while his right hand did not stop scanning the basilisk.

Just as Aiden was about to take out his magic wand to modify the runes in the basilisk's mind, an idea flashed in his mind.

"System, can I..."

'Ding, OK'

Then, Aiden began to complete the runes on the basilisk's body, and finally changed the fatal eyes into petrifying eyes.

At the same time, because of the accompanying death and rebirth effects, after being petrified due to damage, the petrification magic will slowly turn into healing.

Thereby achieving the effect of drug-free self-healing.

Then, Aiden carved the rune into the basilisk's mind.

"It's done. No need for long-term slavery, just temporary control." Aiden looked at his work with a smug smile on his face.

"Come, follow me, the outsider who does not belong to this world, the great master of the sea of ​​consciousness, the gray dragon that controls the mind.

I swear to you that I am willing to abide by my oath, not to initiate a war, and to work tirelessly to maintain peace among magical creatures."

“Hiss…hiss…hiss…hiss.”

As Aiden and the basilisk completed their oath, the power of the mind flowed through the basilisk's body, and the basilisk's eyes became more lively.
