Chapter 153

The wound was so severe that it was difficult to see the wound.

When Professor Cat Cat appeared in the Slytherin Chamber holding Fox's claws, Argus had already dealt with the basilisk.

His body was torn and he sat on the ground helplessly.

Seeing Professor McGonagall coming over, he showed a tired smile.

"Professor McGonagall..."

"Merlin's beard!"

Professor McGonagall rushed to Argus at her fastest speed.

Her eyes were more tense than ever before.

"Professor McGonagall, don't worry, it's just some superficial injuries."

As soon as Argus finished speaking, Fox came up.

Crystal clear tears dripped on his wounds.

There was a sizzling sound like oil boiling in a raging fire.

Strangely, Argus's wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Professor McGonagall helped Argus up and examined him carefully. After confirming that Argus was not poisoned or otherwise injured, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Grindelwald, what happened!"

"This is a long story. Let's go to Headmaster Dumbledore's office first. There, I will tell you the details of what happened."

Argus thought it would be Snape who came, and the words he had prepared in advance were also directed at Snape.

Unexpectedly, it was Professor McGonagall!

With Professor McGonagall's fair style, if she knew about Dumbledore's deal with her, she would deliberately indulge Harry and Ron, two little wizards who knew nothing, to investigate the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets.

I'm afraid she would have a big quarrel with Dumbledore.

As a member of the Order of the Phoenix, it seems that Professor McGonagall has always carried out positive tasks, except for some secretive times when attending Order of the Phoenix gatherings.

This is the first time he has seen someone get involved in something that cannot be made public.

Professor McGonagall frowned, as if she realized something, and looked at Argus with complicated eyes.

She opened her mouth and wanted to say something.

Finally, she sighed.

"Mr. Grindelwald, I know what your life experience represents."

"But as your professor, I still hope that you can ask me or other professors for help if you have something."

"Anyway, you are my student. It is too dangerous for a twelve-year-old wizard to deal with a magical animal like a basilisk."

Argus was silent for a long time and nodded: "I understand, Professor McGonagall."

"If there is a next time, I will..."

"Do you want to have a next time?" Professor McGonagall's green eyes widened.

She still couldn't believe that a second-year wizard could kill a basilisk alone!

Even the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic couldn't deal with such a terrifying magical animal alone!

A whole team cooperated with each other to barely deal with it.

Even some casualties were paid!

She glanced around briefly and roughly judged some of the battle.

There are obvious signs of injury on the eyes, but the wound is not big. It seems that Fox did it.

The tail of the basilisk was nailed to the ground, and most of its body was injured by falling rocks.

The scattered stones on the ground can confirm this.

At the age of twelve, he can use the terrain advantage to deal with the basilisk and kill it with the help of the terrain.

It should be said... he is worthy of being the most talented student in the history of Hogwarts.

Although Professor McGonagall scolded, her actions were not slow at all.

Not caring about the dust on Argus's clothes, she supported him with one hand and motioned to Fox to take the two away with the other hand.

"Wait a minute, Professor McGonagall, there is one more thing I think you should deal with first."

"Nothing is more important than you going to check it now!"

"Professor McGonagall, look over there!"

Argus shook his head helplessly and pointed to the basilisk not far away.

Lockhart's bloody body fell to the ground, his eyes fixed on the top of the cave.

Die with eyes open!

"Professor Lockhart?" Professor McGonagall was pale.

Subconsciously, I wanted to check the situation.

Just after taking a step, I suddenly realized that I was still supporting Argus, and hurriedly stopped.

"Professor McGonagall, go and take a look. I'm fine alone."

"Okay, wait a moment, I'll take a look and go to the principal's office with you."

In fact, Professor McGonagall knew that Lockhart was probably dead in this situation.

But he is a professor at Hogwarts after all, he can't die in vain!

After a simple inspection, Professor McGonagall took out the magic wand and put Lockhart's body into an empty traceless extension spell pocket.

Reaching out to call Fawkes, he disappeared into the cave with Argus.

...

The flames ignited.

Two people and a bird appeared in Dumbledore's office.

Professor McGonagall helped Argus sit down.

"Fawkes has almost cured my injury, Professor McGonagall."

"Wait here for a moment, I'll go to Madam Pomfrey to get some healing potions." Professor McGonagall ignored him and walked out of the headmaster's office.

After a while, she came in with several bottles of potions of different colors.

"Drink these."

Argus didn't dare to make any extra movements.

He took the potions and drank them one by one.

To be honest, perhaps in order to make the little wizard of Hogwarts remember more deeply, Madam Pomfrey's potions were much harder to drink than those sold in St. Mungo's or other stores.

Not long after drinking, a stream of hot air traveled along Argus' body.

White mist sprayed out of his ears and nose.

As the mist sprayed out, Argus obviously felt much more relaxed.

Just then, Dumbledore pushed the door and walked in.

With a serious expression, he looked at Argus with a look of deep scrutiny.

"Argus, what happened in the Chamber of Secrets! Why were Harry and Ron hit by the Oblivion Curse!"

"What! Harry and Ron were hit by the Oblivion Curse!" Professor McGonagall was completely upset.

In one night, three students were injured and a professor was killed!

Looking at the entire history of Hogwarts, such a vicious incident has never happened!

"I won't say much about what happened before entering the Chamber of Secrets. I will only talk about what happened after entering the Chamber of Secrets."

Argus had long expected this scene to happen.

He spoke calmly, "Harry, Ron, and Lockhart saw the basilisk's snake slough soon after they entered. Lockhart fainted on the spot. Then the basilisk appeared and Fawkes blinded it."

"At the same time, the basilisk went crazy and rolled around in the cave, collapsing many stone pillars, and Fawkes was hit."

"After Fawkes was hit by the stone pillar, the basilisk went crazy and pounced on Harry and Ron again."

"I saw the right position and used the collapsed stone pillar on the top of the cave to nail the basilisk's tail to the ground, saving Harry and Ron's lives."

"A wise move!" Dumbledore had learned about the previous events from Fawkes, which were basically consistent with what Argus said.

He simulated the scene of the cave in his mind.

Judging from the situation at the time, Argus's move was indeed the best solution.

He nodded and motioned for him to continue.

Argus cleared his throat and continued to speak...
