Chapter 123 The Strength of the Professors (fourth update)

"Harry, let's retreat!"

George did not go in with the professors, but took Harry away from the door very obediently.

At this moment, just wait quietly for the result.

A moment later, a chaotic sound came from the room in the distance, including the sound of roosters crowing, the basilisk's terrified screams, and the sound of professors casting spells.

"Close your eyes tightly!"

"God of Swords!"

"Thunder Explosion!"

"Super Armor Protection!"

"Eye Disease Curse seals the strongest ability of the basilisk, Explosion Curse blows it away, God of Swords and Shadows finishes it off, and Super Armor Curse protects everyone from being counterattacked by the basilisk. I'm afraid that even without the rooster, this basilisk is not the opponent of the professors!"

George listened to the movement in the room and couldn't help sighing in his heart.

Except for the fake like Lockhart, the wizards in the Hogwarts teaching team are the top wizards in the entire wizarding world.

Even Sybill Trelawney, the divination professor who was crazy most of the time and could only talk nonsense in class, was the great-great-granddaughter of the true prophet "Cassandra Trelawney".

George waited until the noise in the room ended before he took Harry over.

At this time, the huge snake body of the basilisk was lying on the ground in some pieces, and it was obviously dead.

The professors were unharmed and used magic to collect the scattered roosters and put them back into the box.

"Dean, I am very interested in magical animals. I have been learning about this from Hagrid recently. Can I collect a few of its teeth as a souvenir?"

Seeing that the matter had been settled, George turned his eyes and asked Snape.

The teeth of the basilisk are rare things that can destroy Voldemort's Horcruxes. Getting a few of them can also be used in the future.

"This time, we can solve the basilisk so easily, thanks to the big rooster you brought. The basilisk's teeth are poisonous, so be careful."

Snape agreed without thinking.

George immediately stepped forward and pulled out several fangs of the basilisk and put them in the box containing the rooster.

The basilisk was solved, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

But just as they turned around and prepared to leave the room, Lockhart, who was walking at the back, quietly pulled out his wand.

He was so scared when he first beat the basilisk that he hid in the corner and trembled. If these professors went out, everything he had created before would be destroyed, and he would become the biggest liar.

So he planned to use the mass amnesia spell to erase the memories of these people while everyone was off guard, and change the memory to that he alone defeated the basilisk and saved the entire Hogwarts.

"Professor Lockhart, what are you doing? Disarm you!"

George, who had been paying attention to Lockhart's actions, saw Lockhart pull out his wand and wanted to attack all the professors, and immediately cast a disarming spell, successfully knocking Lockhart out and disarming his wand.

"George, what's going on?"

McGonagall and the professors were full of confusion.

George pointed at Lockhart and replied:

"I just saw Professor Lockhart walking behind, trying to cast a spell on all the professors."

"No, I didn't do that, George, how could you attack a teacher?"

Lockhart quickly denied it after getting up, and Snape came directly to Lockhart:

"Legitimate Psychic!"

Compared to Lockhart, he must trust George more.

After a moment, he said with a grim face:

"This guy wants to cast a forgetfulness spell on us, and then take the credit for defeating the basilisk on himself, just like he wrote the stories of other wizards into books and cast a forgetfulness spell on them."

"This liar, I knew he was a liar."

When the professors heard Snape's words, they immediately pointed at Lockhart and cursed.

After Lockhart woke up, he still argued:

"You can't slander me just because you are jealous of me. I didn't do that."

"Imprison him quickly!"

Snape pointed his wand at Lockhart, and a rope appeared out of thin air, tying Lockhart up tightly like a snake.

"You'd better wait to tell the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic these words. If they don't admit it, I will provide them with a few drops of truth serum as a friendly gesture."

"I'm sorry, Lockhart. Although you have written a lot of notes for me, I can't let you erase your memory."

George saw Lockhart's desperate face and said secretly in his heart.

In fact, if Lockhart didn't want to erase everyone's memory in the end, he wouldn't touch Lockhart because Lockhart often wrote notes for him.

It has nothing to do with him whether Lockhart erased the memories of many wizards and claimed their experiences as his own to publish novels.

If Lockhart is kept, he can continue to take notes to read books in the restricted area in the future.

Unfortunately, Lockhart wanted to erase everyone's memory, including him, so he couldn't just leave it alone.

Fortunately, he had copied down most of the valuable things in the restricted area, so it wouldn't be a big problem if he didn't go there in the future.

In the afternoon, because the Chamber of Secrets was discovered and the basilisk was killed, Dumbledore naturally returned to school.

As soon as Dumbledore returned to school, he called George, Harry, Hermione, Ron and Ginny to the principal's office and asked them about the details of what happened.

George naturally said what he should say and concealed what he should conceal.

In fact, apart from encouraging Ginny to tell the truth and helping to transport the rooster later, he didn't participate too much in this matter, and there were not many questions asked of him.

The main subjects of the inquiry were Harry and Ginny.

Especially for the details of the night when Ginny's diary was stolen, he asked very carefully. Obviously, Dumbledore did not want Voldemort's diary to be lost.

But he did not get any clues.

The key is that when Ginny described it, for some reason she did not mention that she put the butterfly bookmark in the diary. George thought she might have forgotten this little detail.

Even if Ginny said it, it would be nothing. Who would have thought that he could locate the position of the bookmark by magnetism? Magnetism is a superpower, just like the power of science, it is not in the wizard system.

No matter how deep Dumbledore's research on magic is, he can't see any flaws.

Moreover, if it weren't for his encouragement, Ginny might not have the courage to confess all this. He was the hero of this matter.

After the inquiry, George returned to the dormitory smoothly. He was not interested in knowing the private conversation between Dumbledore and Harry later.

In the evening, the school bulletin board posted a notice that the basilisk was killed by the school professor, and also stated that the successor of the Chamber of Secrets was a dark wizard from outside, and was also the pervert who attacked the seventh-year witch that night.

The Ministry of Magic is already looking for the fugitive dark wizard, and the school will also strengthen its defense and add protective magic to every dormitory window to prevent similar situations.

The school resumed normal classes, and the Quidditch game went on as usual. The final exams in more than half a month were still the same, and there was no good news that the original final exams were cancelled.
