92. Snake and Jon in the foyer (seeking first decision)
Christmas carols are being sung in the auditorium.
The singing is not loud, but you can tell that every student who sings is happy.
The professors who are not qualified to attend the Christmas dinner hosted by Voldemort are basically marginal figures, and their personalities are not extreme, so if they are left to celebrate the holiday with the students, no students will feel depressed or uncomfortable.
Jon, who was wearing the invisibility cloak, didn't stay on the first floor for long. He held the Marauder's Map that had been opened in his hand. He made sure in front of the stairs that there was no one in the entire castle above the first floor before he let go.
He made a move and quickly arrived in front of the principal's office on the eighth floor.
He put away the invisibility cloak. Although wearing it might help a little at the beginning, it would also likely damage the invisibility cloak.
Jon has not forgotten that this cloak is not his, but the only sustenance of another witch who has given up her heart. What's more, as long as the rooster crows and exposes his position, the real effect of the invisibility cloak is actually not
Not big anymore.
After putting away the invisibility cloak, he took out his wand, and at the same time hid Fox's feathers on the inside of his sleeves to ensure that if something unexpected happened, he would be able to hold the feathers immediately. After that, Jon took it from his pocket again.
He took out a strip of black cloth.
He temporarily tied the black cloth strip to his forehead, took out the pendant with the ring and put it on his neck, then pulled off the two buttons sewn on the cuffs, and first untied the brown button.
Transfiguration.
A half-filled cloth bag appeared in front of him. Jon put the wand in his mouth. He lifted the bag with one hand, and then used the other hand to pull down the cloth strip on his forehead to cover his eyes.
Finally, he took a deep breath and pushed open the door of the principal's office in front of him without hesitation!
In front of him was a wide entrance hall that was half as big as a small auditorium. A giant snake with a length of more than twenty feet was winding in the center of the entrance hall!
When Jon came in, the basilisk was resting with its eyes closed. It had lived for nearly a thousand years and spent most of its life sleeping. Although it was a magical animal born from a rooster, in the cold winter, it
Sleep time will also be extended accordingly.
But the moment Jon opened the door, it had already opened its earthy brown eyes alertly!
Its current owner arranged for it to be here and gave it a death order. Anyone who dares to break into this door, no matter who they are, will die!
In the past seven years, it has eaten three students and one professor who accidentally entered the principal's office, but its owner not only did not blame it, but also gave it the greatest commendation.
It will never forget the delicious taste of human flesh, and after such a long time, another "delicious food" finally came to its doorstep.
At the first moment, it searched for Jon's eyes and wanted to kill this weak life instantly through the magic of direct death just like the previous four killings.
But of course Jon, who was blindfolded, was not affected in any way. After entering the door, he did not undo the transformation technique of the black button immediately, but first dumped all the contents of the bag on the ground.
It was a pile of sand. The gravel was very fine and dry. After he poured it out, it fell into pieces.
Then Jon untied the transformation spell on the black button, and a colorful rooster appeared in his arms!
"Oh oh oh!"
The next second the rooster appeared, just as Aberforth said, it eagerly opened its throat and let out a sweet crow!
The sound of cockcrow echoed in the foyer, and at the moment when this sound sounded, the basilisk suddenly writhes on the ground in pain as if it was poured hot oil!
To it, the crowing of the rooster is the most terrifying poison in the world. The sound of the creature that reproduced it is enough to cause it real fatal harm.
But after all, the basilisk is not so fragile that it dies as soon as it hears the crow, otherwise it would not always be listed as an xxxxx-level magical animal by the Ministry of Magic, alongside the Phoenix, Fire Dragon, and be dubbed the Snake King.
It endured the severe pain and fear from the depths of its soul, and stared at Jon with its brown eyes. It opened its bloody mouth, revealing two fangs that shone with cold light. Its body was like a spring.
Immediately, and then rushed towards him at an extremely fast speed!
The moment Jon unlocked the cock transformation spell, he already held the wand in his mouth. Instead of waving the wand, he used the ring to cast a spell and recited the familiar spell.
"Wingardim Leviosa!"
The feeling of weightlessness enveloped his whole body in an instant, making him float in the air!
The next second, the basilisk's head hit the ground where Jon was just standing, spreading the gravel scattered on the ground everywhere.
Jon, who was flying in the air, did not stop the movement of his hands. He waved the wand in his hand without hesitation and recited the exact same spell again!
"Wingardim Leviosa!"
The object of the floating spell cast with the wand this time is not anything else, but the gravel that has been scattered on the ground!
Thousands of tiny gravels floated like Jon under the influence of the spell. They were like stars in the vast universe, slowly floating and moving in a weightless state, but when they encountered obstacles, they could
Give Jon the most intuitive feedback for releasing this magic.
This was enough for him to sense all the movements of the basilisk in the hall even if he lost his eyesight!
Of course, the basilisk couldn't think of the purpose of the annoying gravel around it. At this time, it felt as if its brain was going to explode. It just wanted to eat the flying human and the chicken in his arms immediately!
Soon it put this idea into action. The shimmering green scales slid quickly. It once again aimed at Jon floating in the air, and its body rushed out again. This time it didn't
When he opens his mouth again, he wraps around his long and thick body like a bucket, trying to trap Jon in a larger space and then eat him without fail!
It's just that every movement its huge body makes squeezes the space where the gravels floating around it are. Jon can easily identify the basilisk by looking at the direction in which the gravels are knocked.
its position, and what actions it plans to make next.
After proposing this method, he practiced it countless times with Aberforth in the Pig's Head Bar, and was able to make extremely accurate judgments on the information conveyed by the movement of gravel!
So, when the second cockcrow sounded and the Basilisk launched its second sprint, Jon also prepared his second dodge in advance.
