Chapter 88 The secret room was opened in advance
When Victor gave a eulogy for tonight's sacrifice, he wrote:
We will always miss the pumpkins who died generously when swallowed by the giant python.
I hope that the pumpkin will last forever in heaven, and one day it will grow vines that can reach the earth, allowing us to climb to our destination in heaven.
Professor McGonagall couldn't laugh or cry about this summary. She might usually be a bit strict, but this time it was Victor who wrote the summary on her behalf.
So she put down the correction quill and stamped the official seal of Hogwarts on the lower right corner of the summary.
"I only have an impression of the experience when I rescued you. In the rest of the story, you shouldn't have deliberately exaggerated your personal heroism, Professor Eisner?"
Victor raised his finger and swore, he promised God that every word of the plot he wrote in his summary was true.
If Professor McGonagall knew anything about Victor's atheism, he would not let Victor slide over with an oath so easily.
The Halloween dinner went beyond everyone's expectations, especially Victor's.
Not only the trolls, but the trolls were eliminated by Professor Flitwick's two fire spells.It's a pity that no one was around to witness this old tree, the former king of duels, when he rejuvenated and regained his heroic appearance.
Later, we could only learn from the professor's self-narration that the huge troll pinned the poor little Flitwick under him when he fell to the ground. The professor fainted in the women's bathroom for the rest of the night with his eyes darkened.
It's the basilisk that really causes the commotion.
The secret room was opened in advance.
Victor used magic to "act again", and the pupils of the fallen students in the auditorium fell back like film.Through his unique first-person perspective, Victor was able to deduce what happened at the dinner:
After Quirrell appeared in the auditorium with the report of the troll, the students were evacuated under the leadership of their prefects and professors.
The first and second grade students were the first to leave here, and when the last five, six, and seven seniors were about to follow, a basilisk appeared in the auditorium.
It emerged from inside a giant pumpkin decoration at the venue.
Afterwards, Victor and Hagrid went to investigate. Under this huge jack-o'-lantern holder was a pipe connecting the kitchen and the auditorium.This may be how the basilisk came to the auditorium.
"Fortunately, the pumpkin lanterns have stuffing magic. The students only saw the basilisk through the ghostly stuffing light. Otherwise, this would have been an accident that shocked the wizarding world." Hagrid was still frightened.
"At least it shocked Newt Scamander. In Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, his record of not seeing a basilisk in hundreds of years had to be updated." This is Victor.
But why did the basilisk appear in Hogwarts early?Victor never understood.
The diary may have its roots in the diary left by Tom Riddle.But Victor just turned a few pages in Malfoy Manor, and then it was stored in the Lock and Flask.
Nor was he led to the women's room by the diary.Victor could find no reason for the secret room to be opened.
He could only put the whole story aside and focus on the mess of the Halloween dinner.
Where are the other professors at Hogwarts?This was the first question that came to Victor's mind after probing the pupils of the seven students.
Dumbledore, where was he doing?Victor believed that if the legendary magician took action, he would have the upper hand even with his old bones and white beard, and he could confront the basilisk head-on.
Professor McGonagall stayed until the end, and the moment the basilisk appeared, she failed to prevent the students from being petrified.
But it was her brave "fangs into steel spikes" spell that forced the basilisk to escape through the pipe under the base of the jack-o'-lantern, giving the other students a chance to escape.
The students, those who were not petrified, were successfully placed in their respective dormitories.The professors formed patrol teams to search for traces of the basilisk and people who might be alone in the Hogwarts castle.
Victor closed Cedric's eyes, which were the pupils he had last explored with "Reenactment".
From Cedric's perspective, in order to protect the two underclassmen, he exposed himself to the gaze of the basilisk through the stuffing lamp.Although he is only one level older than the two junior students.
"Can it be saved?" Locken was worried.
"If you use mandrake to make a recovery potion, there will be no problem."
Madam Pomfrey in the infirmary is good at this.If it really doesn't work, it's not impossible to requisition the mandrakes on my farm to catch the young men.
Victor focuses on students.But in just one second, the danger alarm in his intuition was clearly detectable. Victor had no time to react whether his own intuitive radar was faster or Lock's "Master, back!"
Don't look back, don't look back, don't look back.
You stare at the basilisk, and the basilisk stares at you.
The personal Pharaoh deck in Victor's flagon is ready to move, and the mark on the back of his right hand is spiraling with heat.
The ancient Egyptian monster and the British Millennium Serpent fight, Newt Scamander will write a book about it.
Afterwards, Victor modestly described himself as "a frightened rabbit surrounded by grass and trees", tensing his muscles on the grassland highlands in an attempt to kill the eagles that were eyeing him in the sky.
The ghostly pupils of the basilisk reflected Victor's back.
Victor hid his wand against his chest.
"If you want to do it, seven inches is better."
Victor suddenly said this without thinking.
A figure appeared at the door of the auditorium.When the basilisk was attracted by Victor, he waved the wand like a whip.
Two fire snake charms mixed with transformation techniques flew through the air, and the golden snake danced wildly, directly hitting the basilisk's seven inches.
The basilisk hissed and exhaled, then slithered back into the pipe of the big pumpkin, and no one knew where it went.
The urgency in Victor's nerves disappeared, and the basilisk had left the scene.He stood up and reported to the wizard just now.
"Thank you, Professor McGonagall. The favor will have to wait until next time. Please let me join Professor Hogwarts's operation first."
No need to talk nonsense.McGonagall needed manpower, and Hogwarts also needed manpower. When Snape and Quirrell could not be found, McGonagall had to have someone take the petrified students to the school hospital with her.
"Is it safe there?"
"Sprout and her devil's ivy are guarding there. What we need to worry about is whether there are enough beds. Today's change happened so suddenly that I can't even figure out what happened now.
"A big snake wanders along the pipelines in Hogwarts and attacks our students? Associate Professor Eisner, you should have repaired the sewers instead of the secret room. Maybe you could have discovered it earlier."
It turns out that you talk so much when you are anxious.Victor thought to himself.
Repairing sewers, I'm not Mario the plumber.And the source of the basilisk is not from the sewer at all.It was the rumored Slytherin Chamber of Secrets.
