Harry Potter Fantastic Beasts Illustrated Book

Chapter 161 Talk to me.
The joys and sorrows of human beings are not connected, and Professor Snape confirmed this saying.

While the whole school was cheering for the cancellation of Defense Against the Dark Arts, Snape hadn't smiled for days.

It made many students in the academy think that Snape had entered menopause.

Potions class.

Looking at Snape's gloomy face and cold eyes, even the Slytherin students didn't dare to breathe loudly for fear of disturbing Snape.

"In this class, you need to prepare a swelling potion."

After Snape finished speaking, he looked around, and everyone lowered their heads under his gaze.

"I hope you will perform well."

Snape tugged his robes, turned around and began to write on the blackboard.

After a while, he wrote down the amount of medicinal materials needed to prepare the swelling potion and the preparation method on the blackboard.

Snape turned around and saw that everyone was still looking at him. He curled his lips and said in a cold voice: "What? Haven't started yet? Are you still waiting for me to teach these simple things again? "

Immediately there was a sputtering sound in the classroom, and everyone picked up the medicinal materials that had been prepared on the table and began to cut them.

Whether it's right or wrong, let's talk about it after doing it anyway, or you'll just wait for Professor Snape's "care" to watch you.

Harry was particularly outstanding at this point. The moment Professor Snape spoke, he picked up the ingredients on the table and chopped them up with a knife. Those who didn't know thought it was a cooking competition. !
"Professor Snape, there seems to be something wrong today."

Hermione whispered as she held the cauldron.

Just as David was about to answer her question, Snape casually turned twice between the wooden tables and walked straight to his place.

"Scamander, other people have started to process the materials, what are you still doing here stupidly not moving? Are you waiting for me to help you?" Snape said sarcastically.

"Professor, I'll start now."

David picked up the knife and the bat spleen at hand and dealt with it seriously.

But Snape didn't seem to want to let David go, he stood still, squinting his eyes to observe every small movement of David.

It's a pity that Snape didn't find any shortcomings until David finished dealing with the whole spleen distension. He snorted coldly, walked away dissatisfied, and saw that the direction was Harry's direction.

After a moment of silence for Harry, David felt that it was better not to tell Hermione about Snape's rejection of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

Otherwise, David felt that there would be an extra full-time prosecutor when he took Potions class in the future.

"Harry Potter!" Snape's voice sounded in front of David, resounding throughout the classroom, "Is this how you deal with the bat's spleen distension? prepare dinner!"

"Five points from Gryffindor!"

Malfoy couldn't help but chuckle when he heard Snape's criticism, but when Snape looked over, he immediately put away the smile on his face, lay down on his stomach and focused on the materials on the table.

After Snape turned his head away, Malfoy quietly turned his head again and rolled his eyes at Harry.

Half an hour later, the twenty or so cauldrons in the Potions classroom steamed with mist, and none of them dared to fail under Snape's strict inspection.

When the bell rang for the end of get out of class, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Do you think it's true that Snape has come to menopause? He wasn't so irritable before. If he will be like this in the future, how will I pass my Potions class in the future?"

Walking in the hallway to the auditorium, Ron complained angrily that he was criticized by Snape five or six times in class today.

"Ron Weasley, slandering the professor behind his back, Gryffindor will deduct [-] points!"

Snape's cold voice came from behind, and Ron's whole body tensed up. Now he felt that his Potions class was completely hopeless!

Snape quickly passed the crowd from behind, and David saw a smile on the corner of his mouth, obviously he was in a good mood after deducting so many points from Gryffindor today.

After Snape walked away, Harry and Ron glanced at each other, their lips moved, but they didn't say any complaints, they were afraid that Snape would suddenly appear from some corner again.

After Potions class, the rest of the classes were very easy, and it was soon Friday night.

Harry's Parseltongue was finally almost practiced, and David decided to deal with the basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets tonight.

Although no one can call it out to make trouble now, David still wants to see if he can subdue it with his method.

It is mainly the ability of the greedy basilisk: stare at anyone to death.

Stealth went to Hagrid's hut to get the cock that had been prepared, and David walked quickly to the girls' bathroom.

The chairs in the corridor outside had already been taken away by Filch, presumably Dumbledore had already told him that the murderer in the Chamber of Secrets had been caught.

Pushing open the door of the bathroom, David saw Harry carefully hiding behind the compartment door. Myrtle had been hovering beside him, trying to get close to Harry, not knowing the meaning of his hiding.

"David, you're such a good friend." Myrtle glanced at David, then immediately turned her head and gave Harry a wink. "If only he could come here more often."

Myrtle used to do this to David a lot, but since she and Hermione became friends, it all disappeared.

David showed a mischievous smile, stared at Harry and said, "Okay, I will try to bring him more as a guest in the future, I think Harry would like it too, right?"

A look of panic flashed across Harry's face, and he hurriedly got up and pushed David aside: "We should go and subdue the basilisk, just in case Filch finds out later."

"Don't worry, Filch has no motivation to patrol until Mrs. Norris recovers. Fred and George have already confirmed this." David looked at Myrtle, "Do you want to go together?"

When Myrtle heard David's question, she hesitated for a moment. She wanted to go, but she shook her head and gave up thinking of those big, terrifying yellow eyes engraved in her memory.

"All right."

David took Harry to the sink and found the faucet with the little snake on it.

"Come on, it's time for Harry to show off your training results." David said, pointing at the faucet.

Harry nodded, glanced at the little snake, hissing from his mouth.

Under Harry's call, the faucet emitted a dazzling white light and began to spin rapidly.

"It's about to open."

Myrtle also flew to their side, looking curiously at the swaying pool in front of her.

After a while, the pool disappeared, revealing a very thick water pipe that could allow one person to pass through.

"I'll go ahead."

David fumbled out his wand and held the cock in front of him. If the basilisk was not asleep, he would have a plan to deal with it at any time.

Walking into the pipeline, David felt like sitting on a slide he had played in childhood, sliding down quickly, and constantly changing his position.

It would be a good experience if there is no smell that always lingers on the tip of the nose.

After going around seven times and eight times, the pipe became more and more sticky, and David felt that he was almost reaching the bottom. He put his wand in front of him, ready to go at any time.

When seeing the end, David took a deep breath, and just as his head came out of the pipe, he whispered: "Wingadim Leviosa."

The buoyancy immediately dragged David into the air, and then there was a slight collision sound in the spacious passage, like a big stone hitting a pool of water.

Harry slid down too, but he didn't do anything about it, and fell straight into the mud.

"You really don't look like a wizard."

David fell from the sky, and used the descaling charm to clean up the slime on Harry's body in disgust.

Harry smiled mischievously, he hadn't thought about using the spell at all, he was only interested in feeling the excitement.

"Fluorescent flashes."

Following David's words, a small light cluster appeared at the front of the spell, illuminating the way ahead for them.

"Let's go. I'll tell you to close your eyes later. You should close your eyes quickly without any hesitation, otherwise Madam Pomfrey may have another patient."

Harry nodded solemnly, and followed behind David step by step.

In the dark tunnel, only the sound of their footsteps in the mud was left, and the further they walked in, the more animal bones on the ground became more and more.

"David."

Harry swallowed, a little nervous, because a huge figure appeared in front of them, which was daunting.

"Don't worry, it doesn't seem real."

David squinted his eyes and saw that the huge body in front had many depressions, and it always felt like an empty shell.

David told Harry to stay where he was, and he walked over slowly with the cock in his hand, the light from his wand slowly extending to the huge body.

It is green and empty, and it is the snake skin that the basilisk has sloughed off.

"Come on, Harry, it's just a snakeskin."

Harry walked slowly to David's side. After hesitating for a moment, he expressed the worry in his heart: "David, why don't we go back, and we will come together when Professor Dumbledore is called."

"It's okay, don't worry, as long as you do what I say, we will never be in danger, trust me."

David patted Harry on the shoulder and comforted him, as long as the basilisk understands its habits, it is not a difficult animal to deal with.

"Well"

Harry couldn't hold back David, so he could only follow him and continue walking forward.

At the end of the tunnel emerged a thick wall carved with two intertwined snakes, their eyes set with sparkling emeralds.

"It's your turn to come again."

David made room for Harry, wand at the ready, the Basilisk should be just behind the door.

After Harry's low hiss, the two snakes parted, and the stone wall split from it, sliding to the sides and disappearing.

"I'll go in later."

David stopped Harry, called out the invisible beast and quietly touched it.

Inside was a spacious long room, surrounded by green clouds and mist, which brought a little light to the whole room, so that David could see everything around him clearly.

There are many tall and thick stone pillars around the room, and there are giant snake stone sculptures wrapped around it, which looks like Slytherin's decoration style.

At the end of the long passage was a tall stone statue with a huge face that looked a bit like a monkey, and a long sparse beard that hung down to the hem of the wizard's robe.

David controlled the invisible beast to look around, but found no sign of the basilisk. It seemed that Voldemort had already put it to sleep in front of him.

"Let's go."

David put the rooster on the door and led Harry inside.

Harry stared nervously around. He felt that every giant snake carved on the stone pillar looked like a basilisk, but David didn't speak, and he didn't dare to make a sound, for fear of disturbing the big snake hiding in the dark.

David stopped when he was not far from the stone statue. He observed all the way, only thinking that the stone statue in front of him might be the habitat of the basilisk.

As for the plate on the stone pillar?
It would still be possible if the basilisk didn't often fall asleep.

David handed Harry the note that Dumbledore had given him earlier: "You follow the above and read it in a basilisk, and when you hear the sound, you close your eyes, and then when I tell you to make the basilisk turn its head, you Just let it turn its head and stop, understand?"

"Well"

Harry tried to calm himself, stared at the note and hissed, "Speak to me, Slytherin - the greatest of the Hogwarts Four."

To avoid failure, David also amplifies Harry's voice with the Amplifying Charm.

There was only hissing echoing throughout the room.

After a while, Slytherin's face moved, and its mouth slowly opened, forming a huge black hole.

The basilisk came out.

The sound of scales rubbing against the stone wall came from the cave, and David hurriedly told Harry to close his eyes, and he continued to observe everything around him through the invisible monster.

A huge basilisk crawled out of Slytherin's mouth slowly. Its body was green and glowed like a poisonous snake.

After fully crawling out of the cave, the basilisk snaked around Slytherin like a hyena that smelled fishy, ​​and quickly approached David and the others.

Seeing the basilisk's bright yellow eyes and the scarlet letter constantly disturbing the surrounding air, David felt a trace of fear in his heart, and wanted Harry to tell the basilisk to stop several times.

But in the end David held back, and now is not the time.

"Ok?"

Although Harry couldn't see ahead, the increasingly strong stench in his nostrils kept reminding him that the basilisk was approaching.

Glittering drops of sweat ooze from his forehead, the unknown is the scariest thing.

"That's it!"

Seeing the stone statue where the basilisk had moved away, David said immediately.

Harry's mouth immediately moved numbly, hissing tirelessly, for fear that as soon as he stopped, the basilisk would rush up and swallow them all in one gulp.

Harry's order made the basilisk feel irritable. It flicked its tail on the ground impatiently during the crawling process, and the stone slabs on the ground broke into several pieces and splashed all around.

But in the end, the basilisk couldn't resist the command of the basilisk, and reluctantly turned its head, and stopped in the middle of the passage.

It's something etched deep in their DNA, irresistible.

Seeing the basilisk turning its head, David opened his eyes, turned around quickly, and pointed with his wand: "The rooster is flying."

The rooster that he had placed at the door in front flew into his hands against the cage.

David squeezed the cock with his hands, and a loud "oooooooooooooo" echoed through the dark room.

The basilisk shuddered and tried to crawl back, but the path was too far, and David made the cock crow again.

The basilisk stopped in place as if it had been immobilized, its huge body still trembling uncomfortably.

David finally breathed a sigh of relief at this time, the basilisk is no longer a threat.

The reason why the rooster is placed at the door is that the basilisk will petrify it as soon as it crawls out. The rooster is not as smart as a human being, and knows how to close its eyes.
