A Professor of Magic at Hogwarts Chapter 61: Deep into the secret room

The phoenix flew away along the water pipe.

Facing Felix's puzzled gaze, Dumbledore explained: "Fox is too weak now, it can't take the three of us, if Harry is in danger, as long as he sincerely asks for help, Fox will sense it His position."

At this time, a cold voice came from outside the door, "Sorry, I think there are four of them." Professor Snape appeared, wearing a dark green pajamas, with fluffy and messy hair, slightly panting.

"Severus," Dumbledore looked at him, "you are here too."

"How could I not come, Potter...the life of a Hogwarts student is threatened!" Snape's temper was not very good, "What are we waiting for, do you want to start a game here? Party?"

"That's right, Severus." Dumbledore seemed to suddenly understand, he glanced at the four people present, "Miss Granger..."

"I want to go down!" Hermione said quickly: "I won't hold back, I can, um..."

She saw the schoolbag in the corner, her eyes lit up, she ran over to rummage through it, and finally found a magic scroll.

"Principal, Professor, this is Harry's scroll, which records part of the pronunciation of Parseltongue. I think it may be useful."

"This is?" Dumbledore showed a surprised expression, and he looked at Felix.

"We mentioned..." Felix said implicitly, and the headmaster understood.

"Very good, Granger," Dumbledore praised.

Hermione tried not to look complacent.

Dumbledore touched her shoulder with his wand, and she felt that she became light and floated up from the ground with a little force.

Afterwards, the three of them each cast a Levitating Charm on themselves, "Are you ready?" Dumbledore received an affirmative answer, and he waved his wand, and the four of them flew into the pitch-black water pipe like light soap bubbles.

Next, there is a long underground slide. Felix is ​​not sure whether it is five kilometers or ten kilometers.

With the help of the magic twilight, Felix could see the slimy, wet liquid on the inner wall of the chute, with many pipes branching out in all directions.

Finally, the slide all the way down became horizontal. They came to a circular clearing, the ground was full of stagnant water, and above the stagnant water were countless pale rat skeletons.

At this moment, they are standing on the huge pile of bones.

The tunnel was as silent as a grave.

Dumbledore looked around with a serious expression. He never knew this place, and he said softly: "A huge project... It seems that Slytherin spent a lot of time on this."

The four of them walked towards the mouth of the largest tunnel, and in the distance, Felix saw a giant coiled around.

"Close your eyes!" he yelled quickly.

Hermione closed her eyes obediently, and Dumbledore and Snape drew their wands while closing their eyes.

Following his feeling, Felix swung a fiery red light, and the spell with the thickness of his wrist roughly hit the body of the behemoth, making an extremely dull roar.

At the same time, there was an extremely subtle sound of wind—this was Snape's spell.

Dumbledore also shot, he blessed the four with a shallow golden shield.

Waiting for a moment, there was an unexpected hiss and movement of the basilisk.

Felix opened his eyes, and the huge monster had been shattered into several pieces, but there was no smell of blood at all.

He and Snape stepped forward, only to find that it was a pair of huge snake skin, shiny green, but the surface was covered with a layer of dust, which made it look gray-green.

"The basilisk must be at least twenty feet long - besides," said Felix, "excellent cutting spell, Professor Snape."

Snape gave him a nod, "You're not bad, Felix, your 'stunning' effect is comparable to the Explosive Curse."

Hermione and Dumbledore came closer, and Hermione carefully looked at the remains of the slough. A third of it was blown into pieces—this was the trace of Professor Haipu's magic, and the rest was cut in half with smooth cuts, obviously some kind of powerful cutting magic.

The little witch picked up a piece of snake slough, which was as hard as a piece of metal, and she couldn't help but click her tongue.

Dumbledore looked carefully at the basilisk's shed skin, "It's been a while, maybe it was left by the basilisk when the Chamber of Secrets was opened last time."

At this moment, a clear and crisp phoenix cry came from afar.

"We need to speed up." Dumbledore took the lead and walked ahead.

They turned one turn after another, stepping on the wet water under their feet, making a clacking sound. Hermione felt sticky under her feet, her nerves were shaking uncomfortably, and she just wanted to end this as soon as possible.

Finally, they came across a solid wall with a round iron gate embedded in it. This arrangement looks a bit like the circular door to the Gryffindor common room, but instead of portraits, there are seven entangled snakes with large, shiny emeralds in their eyes. The tails of the snakes intersect, and the heads of the snakes spread out, completely sealing the entrance.

"Obviously, we need entry commands or forced sabotage," Felix said.

Snape waved his wand, and under the action of the invisible cutting spell, the iron switch burst into bright green fluorescence. When everything returned to calm, the round iron door was intact.

Dumbledore stroked the twisted snake on the iron door with his fingers, he shook his head, "I can break through, but it will take time." He looked at Felix.

Felix took out the scroll knowingly, threw it high, and the magic scroll spread out quickly, stretching seven or eight meters long.

His wand was on it, and he said softly, "Open." The writing on the magic scroll began to distort, deform, and recombine, and soon a vortex appeared in the center of the scroll.

The four people present heard a weird, "hissing" sound from the magic scroll.

The next moment, the circular iron gate moved ~IndoMTL.com~ From the intersection of the snake's tail, a smaller snake swam out. It swam around the iron gate for a circle, and then the gate opened with a "click".

"Professor, this is?" Hermione was a little curious, she didn't know that the magic scroll had this function.

"It can convert my words into Parseltongue. Of course, the premise is that it stores enough Parseltongue information inside."

Dumbledore said with admiration: "This is the point of view you and I mentioned during the interview, combining Muggle wisdom with magic?"

Snape's and Hermione's eyes fell on him simultaneously.

Felix said calmly, "Just a try."

"Felix," said Dumbledore, "there are not many open-minded wizards like you."

Afterwards, several people continued to move forward, passing through the circular iron gate, and in front of them was a long, dimly lit space. The shape of the space is like a hammer, and the handle of the hammer is the spacious aisle in front of them. On both sides of the aisle, there are many stone pillars carved with coiled snakes.

These stone pillars soared to support the high, dark ceiling, casting long and treacherous shadows under the green light.

At the end of the space, there is an open space, like the square head of a hammer. At the edge of the clearing was a statue as tall as the room itself, clinging to the darkened wall behind.

Felix recognized the statue of Slytherin almost at a glance. He had seen similar things in many books.

His eyes fell on the clearing, where a fierce battle was taking place.

A blind basilisk twisted its body wildly. It was a full thirty feet long.

It is Harry Potter.
