A Professor of Magic at Hogwarts Chapter 58: Basilisk and Parseltongue

"Calm down, Miss Granger!" Felix asked, "You need to tell me, how long has it been since you and Harry last met? Can you confirm his location now? And what did he use?" A way to track the basilisk?"

Hermione quickly said: "No more than 5 minutes, Professor. We speculated that the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets is in Myrtle's bathroom, so we made an appointment to meet there. Harry located the Basilisk through Parseltongue..."

"Very good," Felix interrupted her. He waved his wand, and a silver light flew out from the tip of the wand, which condensed into a small bird in the air. It was suspended in the air, with a pair of Long and narrow sickle-shaped wings.

Felix said loudly: "Principal Dumbledore, Harry Potter is tracking the Basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets alone, please come to the abandoned bathroom of Myrtle, which is most likely where the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets is located."

After speaking, the small bird flapped its wings and disappeared in a flash of light.

"Professor, what kind of magic is this?" Even though the situation was urgent, the little witch couldn't help asking.

"The Patronus Charm, it can help you resist dementors, or send a message temporarily."

"Is that a kind of swift?"

"Well, it's fast."

"Let's go to the bathroom first." Felix said to Hermione, "You can tell me what happened on the way."

By the time the two had nearly reached Myrtle's bathroom, Felix had figured out what was going on.

An hour ago.

Harry, Ron and Hermione sat in the Great Hall and quickly finished their dinner. They looked at each other and slipped out tacitly.

"It's 6:20," Hermione said to the two of them before the action: "We have about 40 minutes, as long as we come back before 7 o'clock and the main force returns to the common room, no one will find us I've been out."

They are going to have a showdown with Professor Haip, and after gaining his trust, they will report the Chamber of Secrets information to Principal Dumbledore.

But something went wrong on the way—

"Tearing you apart... wanting to kill people... thirsting for blood..."

As they passed through a dimly lit corridor, Harry suddenly heard the voice, and he yelled, "It's the Basilisk! It's out!"

"Did you hear that?" said Ron nervously.

Harry rushed out. He climbed up a flight of stairs, pricked up his ears and kept searching. He seemed to hear a slight grinding sound, so he ran in big strides, with Ron and Hermione following closely behind.

But if the sound was not there, Harry would lose track of it from time to time, and he had to climb up and down to confirm the position.

After running for a long time, the three of them were exhausted and out of breath.

"He went back? Maybe just out for a walk?" Ron asked expectantly.

"Absolutely not!" Harry said, "It wants to kill, it says it's thirsty for blood!"

"Tear up your...target..."

Harry jerked his head up, the voice above his head.

"It's upstairs!"

Harry ran quickly upstairs, leaving Ron and Hermione far behind.

Turning a corner, he saw Justin coming from the other side of the corridor alone.

"Come out... kill... tear it to pieces..."

Harry's expression was terrified, it was going to be too late. He yelled at Justin: "Close your eyes, Justin! Close your eyes, the basilisk in the secret room has come out!"

Justin has been avoiding Harry for the past few days, and he asked in astonishment: "What?"

Harry didn't have time to explain, he had already clearly heard the sound of "click click", that must be the basilisk, it is about to come out, it is going to kill people!

"There are many obstacles!" Harry took out his wand, and an obstacle spell knocked Justin into the air, with surprise and panic on his face.

Harry threw himself on Justin to drag him away, which was not easy - Justin struggled desperately after he was freed from the effect of the spell, and the two became entangled.

"What are you going to do? Harry, what are you going to do!"

"Shut up! I'm saving your life!" Harry gave him a hard punch to silence him, "Listen! The Chamber of Secrets monster is out, and its eyes can kill people, so hurry up Close your eyes."

There was a rustling sound, which was very clear in the corridor.

Justin tightly closed his eyes, his body trembling uncontrollably. Harry closed his eyes too, fumbling with one hand for his wand - his wand fell to the floor during the brief tussle between the two of them.

"Are we going to die, Harry? I don't want to die, Harry, I'm sorry I misunderstood you." Justin said incoherently.

"Shut up!" Harry yelled, echoing clearly in the hallway.

He came across a small wooden stick, which was his wand, but he was completely unable to fight the basilisk, his eyes were still closed!

A door was knocked open, and the sound of "click, click" was getting closer, Harry judged that the basilisk was less than two meters away from them, maybe its head was hanging down in front of him?

He even smelled a pungent stench.

"Get out of here!" he yelled.

"What?" Justin asked tremblingly.

"Not you, get out of here!"

Justin only understood the first half of the sentence, and the second half, the creepy sound that came out of Harry's mouth was like the "hissing" sound of a snake, but it was much more terrifying than that.

It's Parseltongue~IndoMTL.com~ He wakes up instantly.

Harry kept saying Parseltongue, telling the basilisk to "get out of here" and "go back", and it worked, the sound of the basilisk moving stopped.

But it didn't go away, instead, it responded, "Kill...the master's order...tear up...eliminate Muggles..."

"Get out of here!" Harry said in Parseltongue, "I order you, get out of here!" Thanks to the fact that he has been using magic scrolls for the past two days, he has become quite proficient in Parseltongue.

"Master's order..."

"Your master and I are best friends, we are together, listen! You are in danger now, a powerful wizard is coming! Get out of here quickly!" Harry kept urging, he I don't know if it will work, but Hermione learned from Professor Haip that Parseltongue can control snakes.

He doesn't know the truth, but he can only pray in his heart that it is true.

Finally, the basilisk moved, and Harry held his breath, waiting for the fate to judge - fortunately, the sliding sound of the basilisk became farther and farther away, and finally disappeared.

"Can't stop the killing... the next attack... soon...too long to endure..." These were the words Harry heard from the ceiling, and it seemed that the basilisk had returned to the pipe.

Justin collapsed on the ground trembling, with a look of shock.

"It's over." Harry opened his eyes.

Tens of seconds later, Hermione and Ron chased after them panting, "Harry, what happened?" They lost track and took a short detour.

Harry said with great fear: "The basilisk wanted to attack Justin, and I stopped it."

"What - oh, my God!" Hermione pointed to the scratch marks on the ground, "This is..."

"Yeah, I met it head-on."
