#821 - Uncle Hogg is going to get mad!

After nightfall, Hogg was in Anduin's office, listlessly fiddling with the Basilisk's remote control.

He had also heard about Professor McGonagall and Headmaster Dumbledore going to the Ministry of Magic today. Hogg knew that once the Ministry got involved, he probably wouldn't be able to keep the Basilisk for long.

So, he had already planned to arrange for the Basilisk to launch an all-out attack on these young wizards in the next couple of days, turning Hogwarts upside down.

As for the Chamber of Secrets, Hogg wasn't too worried. According to his observations, Harry, the only one who could open it, had been distancing himself from the school's organizations with Hermione, Ron, and Neville.

Besides, even if those little devils were really preparing to enter the Chamber of Secrets, Hogg would receive a warning immediately, allowing him to catch them all in one fell swoop.

How should he tease these little brats then? Hogg pondered all sorts of wicked ideas, a sly grin involuntarily appearing on his face.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

Just as Hogg was lost in thought, the office door was suddenly knocked on.

"Hmm? Why would someone be knocking at this hour? Could they be looking for the master? No, the teachers and students in the school should know that the master does experiments every night and has no free time."

Hogg tilted his head in confusion, then lazily dismissed the thought and opened the door directly.

What came into view was the Weasley twins, looking anxious. As soon as they saw Hogg, they hurriedly shouted, "Where's Professor Wilson? Something terrible has happened at the training grounds!"

"What's the rush?" Faced with their urgency, Hogg remained calm, even with a hint of vigilance. "The master isn't here right now. If something happened, why didn't you use the communicator and instead came here in person?"

The Weasley twins were taken aback by Hogg's question. They hadn't expected him to be so alert. Wouldn't a normal person ask what happened in this situation?

However, facing Hogg's unexpected reaction, they didn't care too much. After all, their purpose was just to trick him into opening the door.

So, after exchanging a glance, they suddenly sprang into action, grabbing Hogg from the room. At the same time, George pulled a net out of his pocket and threw it over Hogg.

Caught off guard by this sudden attack, Hogg was startled. "What the hell are you doing?"

After shouting, Hogg struggled frantically. Coincidentally, since it was his break time, he wasn't wearing Anduin's specially made tactical suit, and he couldn't even use magic to resist.

"Stop talking nonsense! We know your secret. You're the one controlling the Basilisk, aren't you?"

After dragging Hogg out of the office, they pinned him to the ground. George's net covered his entire body, ready to completely restrain him. Book 69 new

Upon hearing their words, Hogg's heart sank. He didn't know how the Basilisk's secret had been exposed, but he knew that since these two were here, there must be trouble in the Chamber of Secrets.

Sure enough, the moment Hogg was pinned down, the alarm on his body went off, indicating that someone was taking the opportunity to break into the Chamber of Secrets.

"Damn it, am I really going to be tricked by you two little devils?" Hogg roared, "Body Strengthening Technique! Steel Bones!"

As Hogg spoke, a strong magical surge arose within him.

At the same time, the Weasley twins felt the other party's body instantly become hard and heavy. Then, Hogg suddenly stood up, and they were shaken off by the force erupting from his body.

George and Fred were shocked. They never expected Hogg to have this kind of ability. Although they had always suffered in their fights with Hogg, it had always been when they didn't use their wands.

They had originally thought that as long as they used magic, Hogg would definitely not be their match.

As a result, the other party seemed to have transformed, turning from an ordinary husky into an invulnerable iron dog.

Hogg had just shouted "Body Strengthening Technique," was this the power of the Body Strengthening Technique spell?

At this critical moment, Fred couldn't help but let his thoughts wander, after all, their fights with Hogg weren't really life-threatening.

Just then, Hogg, having dealt with George, turned around and slowly approached Fred, who shouted, "Don't... I surrender! Hogg, you're amazing, I know I was wrong, I surrender!"

After shouting, Fred raised both hands above his head, looking like he admitted defeat.

"Hmph... just because you dared to sneak attack me, I won't let you off so easily." Hogg sneered and continued to walk towards Fred without slowing down.

"Surrendering isn't enough? You..." Fred was half dead with anger at Hogg's rogue attitude, then gritted his teeth and cast a Transfiguration spell at Hogg's feet.

Soon, the stone ground under Hogg's feet turned into a pool of sticky mud, sticking all the dog's limbs.

"Petty tricks! Body Strengthening Technique: Aftershock!" Hogg curled his lip dismissively, once again bursting out with a rapid surge of magic, followed by the dog's body and limbs suddenly vibrating violently, instantly shaking the mud sticking to him into scattered splashes.

"Are you kidding me?" Seeing Hogg break free so easily, Fred couldn't help but curse.

But the next second, he was hit in the abdomen by Hogg's headbutt, and then tragically fell to the ground unconscious.

After dealing with the twins, Hogg pretended to clap his hands. "These little devils are quite clever, unexpectedly realizing that the Basilisk is controlled by me, and even daring to attack me."

"But next, I'll have to teach you a good lesson." After complaining, he turned around, looking for the Basilisk controller that had fallen to the ground earlier.

But after searching every corner of the scene, he found that the controller was completely gone. Only then did Hogg's heart sink. "Damn it, could it be that there were more than just the twins who came here? Could someone else be lurking nearby?"

Thinking of this, Hogg quickly raised his nose and sniffed.

Sure enough, he soon smelled a third person's scent. After careful identification, Hogg confirmed that this person was Hermione, also from Gryffindor.

She must have used a Disillusionment Charm to lie in ambush nearby, and then taken the remote control while he was fighting with the twin brothers.

"Damn it!" Hogg gnashed his teeth. "I didn't expect to fall for it. That little girl Hermione even used a deodorant to prevent me from tracking her. Although it doesn't work much on me, it can delay a lot of time. By the time I really catch her, it'll probably be too late."

"What to do... Without my control, that Basilisk is just like a fool. Facing those well-trained guys, I estimate it won't last five minutes."

Hogg was exasperated and paced back and forth on the spot. It wasn't that he felt sorry for the Basilisk, after all, that guy was originally used to test the young wizards, and it wouldn't be a big deal if they caught it.

In fact, if the students couldn't find a way to enter the Chamber of Secrets, Hogg was even prepared to let the Basilisk take the initiative to attack, anyway, the Basilisk would eventually fall back into Anduin's hands.

Actually, what Hogg hates most now is that he would be tricked by a group of students. If they really successfully took down the Chamber of Secrets, where would he put his old face in the future? Would anyone listen to him during training in the future?

"You forced me to do this." Hogg gritted his teeth, his eyes suddenly becoming dangerous.

Then, Hogg rushed towards the office without looking back, diving into an arbitrary door.

On the other side, after receiving Hermione's signal, the main force of Gryffindor, led by Harry, immediately set off towards the depths of the Chamber of Secrets.

Unsurprisingly, after learning that Gryffindor had a big move, the other colleges immediately followed, and hundreds of people blocked the second floor of the castle.

However, due to the relationship of cooperation, the Ravenclaw students took the initiative to give up following the Lions into the Chamber of Secrets, but instead acted as guards, firmly blocking the entrance to the bathroom.

At the beginning, this obviously aroused the dissatisfaction of the other two colleges, but they couldn't do anything about it. After all, after the dueling club incident, no one dared to use force at will in the school, especially against classmates.

And what ultimately made them have to give up on this was seeing Harry use Parseltongue to open and close the door to the Chamber of Secrets.

What the hell are we doing here, the key to opening the door to the Chamber of Secrets is actually Parseltongue, and the only key is in the hands of the Lions.

Faced with this situation, Hufflepuff and Slytherin could only helplessly give up, but everyone's hearts were also full of doubts, they didn't understand why Harry would have such a special talent as Parseltongue.

As for the main force, the progress after entering the Chamber of Secrets was also very smooth, and they passed through the second stone gate in less than two minutes, arriving in front of the Slytherin statue.

Soon, the students of Gryffindor College alarmed the Basilisk resting in the depths of the tunnel.

However, after it appeared from the mouth of the statue, what appeared was not the scene of the Basilisk slaughtering all directions, but a tragic scene of a trapped beast fighting.

Percy naturally made sufficient preparations in tactics after learning that the opponent was a Basilisk.

The most dangerous part of the Basilisk is naturally its eyes, so Percy wet the ground with the Water-Making Spell early in the morning.

At the same time, he ordered everyone to keep their heads down as much as possible when facing the Basilisk, and then use the reflection of the ground water to judge the enemy's movements.

And as soon as the Basilisk appeared, Percy commanded everyone to use the flashbangs exchanged from the Silver Flash Amulet to interfere with the Basilisk's vision.

Then what everyone had to do was very simple, a team used Transfiguration to transform the ground, restricting the Basilisk's actions, and a team used Binding Curses, Sleep Charms, and Petrification Charms to continuously attack the Basilisk.

Before long, the Basilisk was taken down on the spot by everyone, and it felt no more difficult than catching a chicken.

"Hehe, isn't it easy to catch a mere Basilisk?" After the battle, Ron jumped onto the Basilisk and proudly showed off to everyone, "Who brought a magic camera? Come and take a picture of me."

"Colin, the only one with a camera, has already been petrified, don't you remember?" Percy rolled his eyes, "And how much does this capture of the Basilisk have to do with you? Harry opened the door to the Chamber of Secrets, and the Weasley twins and Hermione helped hold back Hogg. You only casually threw two spells just now."

"Speaking of which, Hermione is more clever." Looking at the Basilisk's huge body that had fallen asleep, Harry couldn't help but sigh, "If she hadn't kept an eye out and followed George and Fred, things might not have gone so smoothly."

The others had already received the news from Hermione from the office. Although Hogg was not subdued by the twins, the device to control the Basilisk was secretly taken away by her.

Because of this, Gryffindor's actions could be carried out so smoothly.

"Haha, Hogg is nothing more than that, and so is Professor Wilson. They always change their ways to prank us. This time, let them taste the feeling of being schemed against!" Compared to the others' rejoicing, Ron made no secret of his pride.

"Is that so?"

Before the little lions could celebrate for long, a sinister voice suddenly came from above them. When everyone looked up, they realized that Hogg didn't know when he had appeared in the mouth of the Chamber of Secrets statue.

"You actually dare to tease me, don't you think everything is over?"

"Hey, we've already caught the Basilisk, what else do you want?" Seeing that it was Hogg, Ron crossed his arms unceremoniously, "And you were the one who drove the Basilisk to tease us first, we're just giving you a taste of your own medicine."

"That's right." Percy also nodded, "The matter ends here, the professor asked you to attack us with the Basilisk, also to stimulate the students' sense of crisis, now everyone's performance must not disappoint the professor."

"Your performance is indeed admirable." Hogg nodded indifferently, but soon his face turned stern, "However... this does not affect my anger, tell you, I, Hogg, am going to go wild!"

After saying that, Hogg jumped high, and at the same time kept getting bigger in mid-air. When he landed, he had transformed into a giant wolf as big as Fluffy, majestic and awe-inspiring!
