Reborn at Hogwarts - Chapter 119

c118 The Basilisk Attacks

Professor Quirrell’s words caused a commotion in the auditorium, and everyone was in a mess.

“Quiet!”

Dumbledore stood up and let the tip of his wand emit a few bursts of purple fireworks, and everyone gradually fell silent.

The old wizard looked very serious.

“Prefect,” he said in a low voice, “immediately lead the students from each college to the dormitory!”

Gryffindor’s prefect Percy Weasley was the first to stand up, and while Ravenclaw’s prefect Allen was still frantically trying to spit out a half-eaten potato, he was already familiar with it He led the students towards the outside of the auditorium.

Ivan sighed when he heard several Ravenclaw students couldn’t bear to look directly at them.

“Don’t be bored…” Allen’s mouth was filled with half a potato, and he waved eagerly at the students.

Everyone stood up sparsely and followed him out of the auditorium.

Ivan dawdled at the end of the line, looking around absent-mindedly.

He wasn’t going to follow the prefect back to the common room.

At this critical moment, there should be no accidents. Ivan is going to use the incarnation technique to hide near the women’s bathroom one step ahead, so that if there is a problem, he can remedy it in time.

Of course, there is another reason.

Although recently, for the sake of the smooth development of the plot, he avoided Hermione intentionally or unintentionally and allowed her to be excluded, but this did not mean that Hermione was no longer his friend.

In case anything happened to Harry and Ron, he was an insurance policy. As long as he didn’t encounter an enemy of Paracelsus’ level, he was hiding in the dark enough to last until the professors arrived.

Before leaving the auditorium, Ivan glanced at Dumbledore who was whispering with Professor McGonagall in the guest seat.

At the beginning of the month, Ivan had a parasitic bug of mysterious origin in his eyes. At that time, he and Snape went to the principal’s office to ask Dumbledore for help, but Dumbledore was not at school, but went out on business.

After Madam Pomfrey helped remove the parasite, Ivan went with her to visit Dumbledore again.

The old wizard looked a little unspeakably tired at that time, and he simply said “I understand, don’t worry” to the two of them, indicating that they can leave, and did not express anything else.

Ivan vaguely realized that maybe something happened to the old wizard.

It’s just that he reminded a few words vaguely, but Dumbledore didn’t mean anything explicitly.

Seeing his serious look today, Ivan remembered this incident again.

In the end what happened……

Thinking of this, Ivan followed the team out of the auditorium.

…

“Can you smell something?”

Ron raised his hand.

At this time, he and Harry had managed to avoid the crowd, and followed Snape to an unfamiliar corridor.

“What is the taste–”

Harry sniffed, and a foul stench entered his nostrils. It was a mixture of smelly socks and public toilets that were never cleaned.

Then they heard a muffled grunt and the scuffing of huge feet on the ground. At the end of a passage to the left of the two, a huge creature was moving towards them. They retreated into the darkness and watched it slowly walk into the moonlight.

“What’s this?”

Ron asked quietly. His voice trembled uncontrollably, his whole face wrinkled into a ball, as if he was about to cry.

“It’s the troll that Professor Quirrell said about.” Harry stared at the twelve-foot-tall guy with gray skin like granite and a ridiculous head like a cocoa bean, and subconsciously replied Ron’s question. He didn’t realize that his voice had distorted.

Holding a thick wooden stick, the giant slowly stopped by a door, peeped inside, then lowered its head, and got into the room.

“The key’s in the lock,” Harry murmured. “We can lock it in there.”

“Good idea,” said Ron nervously.

They walked sideways toward the open door.

…

“ah!!”

As soon as Ivan came to this corridor, he heard a shrill, terrified scream.

Hermione’s voice…

He thought, the body in the avatar state rushed forward along the wall quickly.

Harry and Ron were just ahead – two children standing at the door they had just closed, pale and clumsy with nervousness, trembling as they tried to reopen the door.

Ivan glanced at them hastily, turned his head and got into the room.

He saw Hermione at a glance—she was curled up against the wall, trembling with extreme tension, her lips were trembling, and she looked like she might faint at any moment.

The monster with a hideous face and a disgusting stench was staggering towards her. As it walked, it knocked the pool away from the wall.

At this moment, the door of the women’s room opened, and Harry and Ron staggered in.

Everything that followed was exactly the same as in the original book-Harry wanted to confuse the troll, but instead attracted his attention. In order to save Ron, he threw himself on the troll and put his arms around its neck; Moments later, Ron’s spell sent the club flying from the troll’s hands, hitting it on the head, knocking it unconscious.

Professor McGonagall, Snape, and Quirrell who came later mistook Harry for a trick. Hermione stepped forward and lied to the professors, and the three left the women’s room for the last time.

There is no need to look at the next thing.

Ivan breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to leave here.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a strong suction coming from behind him.

The boy quickly adjusted his position and looked in the direction of the suction.

In the weird world made of elements, a slender figure was standing not far away, staring at him quietly.

It’s hard to say what it is – from the outside, this shadow is more like an upright, twisted snake with a black body and no limbs, but it has obvious human facial features and snake-like vertical pupils It was bright red and stared at him expressionlessly.

“Hiss~ha~”

The shadow opened its mouth abruptly, and a hoarse and unpleasant sound came out of it.

Like the neighing of a snake.

Parseltongue?

Ivan was taken aback.

Who is a Parseltongue at Hogwarts right now?

Only Harry Potter, with a fragment of Voldemort’s soul remaining on his body.

Even Dumbledore, who is knowledgeable and has mastered many different languages, does not have this ability.

Ivan knew that he was in trouble again.

Worst of all, he discovered that he could no longer use Incarnation.

With the sound of this snake language, the nearby elements seemed to have some kind of strange disorder, which made him unable to move.

A “rumbling” sound came from a distant place, approaching him at an extremely fast speed.

In the blink of an eye, a huge and slender shadow suddenly broke through the ground!

Basilisk!

Because of the need to speed up the completion of the book, you may feel that the rhythm is abnormal during the reading process-this, uh…
