Harry Potter Fantastic Beasts Illustrated Book

163 Chapter 159
After a friendly exchange with Salazar, David let all the giant snakes return to their original positions, and then let the Norwegian Ridgeback fly to the entrance of the cave with him on his back.

When approaching the edge, David stopped the Norwegian Ridgeback. He poked his head up and glanced, but found no sign of Harry.

He has left?
David controlled the dragon to fly to the ground, and after calling it back, David was about to look around, but it was the sound of hurried footsteps in the distance of the hall.

A tall figure gradually broke through the green mist and appeared in front of David.

professor?

David waved his hand forward: "Professor Dumbledore, why are you here?"

Dumbledore hurried to David's side, let out a breath slowly, and the beard around his mouth was blown wildly by him: "Harry said you were in danger, but it seems that you are unscathed."

"David, are you okay?"

Harry shouted loudly while panting heavily, and he saw the two people talking from a distance.

"I am fine."

David waved to Harry.

But Harry didn't seem to believe it. He walked up to David, turned around, and after looking carefully, he breathed a sigh of relief and hugged David hard.

"I thought you were trapped inside." Harry's voice was a little choked up.

David was taken aback, and patted Harry on the shoulder.

"Would you like to tell me what happened to this old man?"

After David and Harry finished embracing, Dumbledore said with a smile.

"We met a portrait of Salazar inside. He thought I was a magical wizard, so he sent Harry out and kept me. Then he gave me a lot of gifts."

David said "without exaggeration" that if Salazar could hear him, he might break out of the painting and reward David with a big melon from Adawa.

Harry heard David's words, and the worried expression on his face instantly disappeared without a trace. I was sent out because of me?

Harry said he couldn't understand!

Dumbledore automatically ignored David's boastful words and asked, "What did he give you?"

"Some magic books, but I don't understand them well, so I need to trouble the professor."

David opened the leather bag and took out a book and handed it to Dumbledore.

Dumbledore flipped through it, and said, "These are some ancient spells, and their translations are also available in the Restricted Books Section. You can go and see them later."

"What about these?"

David hurriedly took out all the other books and circled around him.

Dumbledore glanced at it for a moment, and only took out two or three books about it, the others were in the library.

A sense of sadness welled up in David's heart, but fortunately, the little green snake could calm him down a little.

After Dumbledore led them out of the Chamber of Secrets, David and Harry returned to the Gryffindor lounge together.

Hermione and the others haven't rested yet, they are quietly curling up on the sofa in front of the fireplace.

"Well, you are not injured, are you?"

Seeing the two people coming in through the doorway, Hermione hurriedly stood up and whispered.

"Unscathed."

David let out a sigh of relief on his hand, and reached Hermione's side, the current weather has brought a chill.

"Have you tamed the basilisk? What does it look like?"

Ron asked curiously. Originally, he also clamored to go, but David refused him because he was afraid of accidents.

"Of course." David stretched out his hand in front of the fireplace, trying to warm himself up, "As for its appearance?"

David caught a glimpse of the book on Hermione's lap, turned to the page of the basilisk skillfully, pointed to the basilisk on it, and said to Ron, "That's it, it's not bad at all."

"Of course I know." Ron closed the book angrily. "I mean, how does it feel to see it up close?"

"It's shocking. It's a little more beautiful than the one in the book. I can take you to see it in the future." David said.

"really?"

Ron was surprised.

But Hermione frowned. She gently tugged David's arm, and said softly, "Is there any danger? I read in the book that the gaze of a basilisk can easily kill a wizard."

"As long as we don't meet the eyes of the basilisk." David said with a smile: "Besides, we still have Harry. After he orders the basilisk to turn around, we just need to open our eyes."

When Harry heard this, he patted his chest immediately, and he felt that he was fine again.

Seeing this, Ron hurriedly discussed with Harry excitedly, and his voice couldn't help getting louder.

David felt that they were interrupted: "I know that the basilisk is a very cool animal, and I understand your feelings, but Percy may not be able to understand it. If you continue to chat, he may Run down and deduct your points."

Ron and Harry looked at each other and quickly stopped talking. It was almost three o'clock in the middle of the night. If Percy heard the movement, he would definitely rush down and criticize them severely, and in order to declare his superiority He will deduct a few points for his authority.

Fred and George knew this well. David often heard them complain that Percy was almost catching up with Filch, and the most terrifying thing was that Percy would write to Mrs. Weasley after deducting points. a letter.

Fred and George basically received a letter every three days, so they have been planning to get revenge on Percy's prank.

"Why don't we go back and rest first, in case Percy catches us later."

Hermione didn't want them to dwarf the Gryffindor hourglass just to chat.

Harry and Ron nodded cooperatively.

David's body was already warmed up.

"Okay then." David cast a spell as he passed the gap between his clothes, and the flame in the fireplace gradually died down.

The living room became a little dark, only a few small old lamps on the wall reflected the black smoke rising from the ashes.

"Then... good night."

Hermione straightened up, wrapped herself in the blanket she had brought down, and turned around to run to the girls' dormitory.

"Wait a minute, Hermione." David called to her.

"how?"

Hermione turned her head, blinking.

"I have something for you."

David took out the magic book that Dumbledore left him in his leather bag. There were some commonly used spells on it, but there were many precautions and techniques for casting spells that were not found in modern books, and And Salazar's note.

Although he couldn't read it himself, David felt that Hermione would find a way to understand it.

Hermione frowned: "You got these from the Chamber of Secrets?"

"Well, there were still some, but Dumbledore thought it was too dangerous, so he confiscated them."

David shrugged helplessly.

"No, that's enough."

Hermione picked up a book and flipped through it. After putting it down, she looked down at the book for a while, then raised her head and hugged David with a blushing face.

After releasing it, Hermione picked up her wand, and the magic book on the sofa obediently followed her to the dormitory.

Fortunately, Harry and Ron had already left, otherwise their two exclamations would surely have woken Percy who was sleeping high in the tower.

Davy scratched his head and walked up the spiral staircase, his chin still feeling the twitch of Hermione's hair.

Walking into the dormitory, Harry had already fallen asleep on the bed, his clothes were messily thrown aside by him, what happened today still consumed him a little too much.

As for Ron?

He has always been the master who sleeps on the bed.

David walked over to help Harry put away his clothes, and when he got up, a small call came from his ear.

Following the sound, Neville was not asleep yet, he had been hiding under the covers and waiting for David.

"You're not hurt are you?"

Neville poked his head out a little and asked in a very low voice.

"It's nothing at all, it can't hurt me, go to sleep, it's getting late, I'll take you to see the basilisk some other day," David said softly.

Neville nodded, retracted his body under the quilt, closed his eyes and fell asleep peacefully, with a smile on his face, maybe in the dream, he was already fighting heroically with the basilisk.

After the basilisk was subdued, Hogwarts completely calmed down. Especially after Lockhart left, the teaching atmosphere on the campus became more intense.

But the students are always restless, because Christmas is coming soon.

In the Gryffindor common room before the Christmas break.

Hermione, David, Harry and Ron sat around a table in the corner, while Neville went upstairs early to pack his things. After all, he had to spend a lot of time thinking about every thing he packed: how did he put them? Where did you put it?
"Would Harry like to come to my house for Christmas?"

David chewed a biscuit and asked softly.

The cookies on the table are all Christmas presents from the Hogwarts elves to David.

"Go to your home?"

Harry's eyes widened, the biscuit still on his lips.

"Yes, are you going? If you want to go together, I'll write to my grandpa right away." David asked.

"It would be great if I could go!"

Harry said excitedly that Ron and the others have decided to go home, which means that he can only stay alone in the dormitory at Christmas.

"Okay, I'll write a letter later, and then I can take you to see some interesting animals," David said.

Ron's eyes lit up brightly at the sound of funny animals, but he had already written to Mrs Weasley that he would be home for Christmas.

"Ron, do you want to come with me?"

said Harry, looking at Ron expectantly.

Ron put the biscuit in his mouth and gnawed it, suddenly felt that the taste of this delicious biscuit was a little weak.

"Where are you telling Ron to go?"

Fred came up behind Harry, grabbed a biscuit and popped it into his mouth.

"Any interesting plans?"

George came up from the other side of Harry, doing exactly the same thing.

"Can you take us with you?"

After Fred finished speaking, he looked at George and said at the same time: "We will definitely help you a lot."

"I'm inviting them to my house for Christmas."

David laughed and said Fred and George were always a source of joy at school.

"To your house?" Fred and George smiled at each other. "Doesn't that mean that there are many magical animals to be seen?"

Fred walked up to David's chair, leaned on his shoulder and said, "Can we go together?"

George followed up and said, "The two of us can take Ron's place."

"Yes, he's written to mother, so he won't go back," said Fred.

"George, Fred! Didn't you two also write to Mom?" Ron got up angrily and said loudly.

"But we are not mother's good babies, and mother doesn't think so again, but"

After Fred finished speaking, George took over and said, "But Mommy thinks you are a good baby, right, Baby Ron, you can't stop talking about Mommy."

Ron blushed instantly: "I'm not mother's good baby!"

Fred and George looked at each other in surprise.

"Did you hear that?"

"Ron said he wasn't mama's good baby."

"How much this hurts my mother's heart!"

"It's a pity that we didn't take a picture of him, otherwise we must show it to my mother."

"Do you think mom knows Legilimency? If so, just let her not see it."

"But... then she will find out what we hide at home"

"Right."

Fred and George sang the oboe, and Ron opened his mouth, unable to get a word in.

David and the others beside him were laughing deeply.

After Fred and George finished talking, David gave them a satisfactory answer, and they could all go to his house for Christmas.

Fred and George cheered, and they ran upstairs quickly. They wanted to tell Mrs. Weasley quickly.

"Ron, have you decided yet?" David asked.

Ron leaned on the chair, thought about it slowly, and said after a while, "Well, I'll go too. If I tell my mother that I'm going to your house, she shouldn't object."

"Okay." David nodded and looked at Hermione: "Want to be together? Hermione?"

Hermione tilted her head and thought for a moment, scratched her tangled hair, and said, "Okay, I'll go too, Harry, Hedwig will lend me some, I need to write a letter to my parents."

"no problem."

Harry waved his hand generously.

With Harry's consent, Hermione immediately walked to the girls' dormitory.

Afterwards, David and the others also returned to the dormitory, and they asked Neville again, but unfortunately he said that he would go back to accompany his wife, and he still needed to see his parents, so he couldn't be with David and the others.

The Christmas holiday began, and David and the others went to occupy a compartment on the Hogwarts train early.

Fred and George also brought a lot of pots, and they said they were going to collect the droppings of some magical animals for their experimental research.

As the train pulled up, David leaned out the window and saw Newt and John standing at the edge of the crowd.

"Grandpa! John!"

David waved at the two, and led Hermione and the others quickly approached them.

After introducing Hermione and the others to Newt, David asked, "Grandpa, how do we go back?"

Newt used to apparate when he came home, but it's obvious that so many people can't use this method today.

"Don't worry, I've arranged everything!"

Newt was in a good mood seeing David's friends.

"Is it Thunderbird? Will we fly back on its back?" Fred asked curiously.

Newt was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't help laughing. He remembered the two twins just now, because David hadn't introduced them yet, the two of them walked up to the front, saluted him respectfully, and introduced their twins. identity.

"I think it's better for us to choose a safe mode of transportation." Newt said with a smile: "If Thunderbird is to send you off, it will probably put you in its belly before sending you back."

"You're right, we need to pay attention." Fred nodded solemnly, "With so many of us, if the Thunderbird is broken, it won't be a second."

　It seems that the writing collapsed later, and not many people read it
