Chapter 77: King of 760,000 Snakes

Chapter 77 76. King of Ten Thousand Snakes

The principal's office on the eighth floor actually has two entrances.

One is right in front of Jon, and the other is on the third floor, but the entrance on the third floor has been completely blocked, leaving only the one on the eighth floor.

Unlike other classrooms or offices, the door of the principal's office is very large, and there are two doors like the castle gate.

At this moment, the door is tightly closed. Jon carefully approaches the door, but does not reach out to push it, but puts his ear close to the door.

It is very quiet, and it is almost no different from the current Hogwarts Castle. But for some reason, although Jon did not hear any sound, he smelled a faint fishy smell.

The smell is not strong, probably blocked by the door, but the fishy smell through the crack of the door is so clear that he knows it is not his illusion.

Jon put his hand on the door on the left. The door was not locked. It seemed that Snape and Dolohov had issued strict orders to all students, but there were no actual protective measures here.

He exhaled lightly, then pushed forward slightly and pushed the door open a crack.

Through the crack, he saw the scene behind the door, which should be the entrance hall.

There was a long and thick body like a bucket, and its emerald green scales reflected a faint light under the dim light. It seemed to be asleep and did not notice Jon who quietly opened the crack in the door. The coiled body floated up and down regularly.

Jon stared at the huge creature for a few seconds, and when he did not see its head, he closed the crack again.

Nagini?

No, this is Hogwarts Castle. If he really wanted something to help him guard the principal's office, then Nagini would definitely not be suitable. The most suitable one should be another snake.

Another ancient snake that did not belong to him, but obeyed his orders because of his blood and the gift of snake language inherited from his ancestors--

Basilisk!

Jon wrapped the invisibility cloak tightly around him, did not stop here, walked lightly, and turned quickly towards the stairs.

He finally understood why Snape and others had been emphasizing to students not to approach the area of ​​the principal's office, but did not take any protective measures for this room.

Since Voldemort had taken control of Hogwarts Castle, he would naturally use the basilisk that had been released from the Chamber of Secrets once when he was in school.

Letting it stay in front of the principal's office is the best guard, and locking the door is completely superfluous.

Back in his dormitory, Jon took off the invisibility cloak, carefully stuffed it and the wand into the inner pocket of his robe, and lay back on the bed. He began to think about the next countermeasures.

He must go into the principal's office, and before going in, he must find a way to deal with the basilisk.

As the most dangerous magical animal in the magic world, the basilisk is undoubtedly powerful. It is not only huge in size and extremely powerful, but its skin is also resistant to most spells like a fire dragon, and its teeth are highly toxic, even Voldemort's Horcruxes cannot resist it. The most important thing is that its eyes can directly deprive the gazer of life once it looks at people.

From these characteristics, the fire dragon of the same level is not even worthy of carrying its shoes in terms of aggressiveness, but this powerful artificial black magic creature also has a fatal flaw!

It is afraid of the crowing of roosters.

Perhaps because it was born by a rooster, even the crowing of an ordinary rooster can cause fatal damage to it.

In short, this is a creature with high attack and low defense. It has the ability to kill the enemy instantly, but as long as you find the right method, you can also kill it very easily.

However, roosters are not so easy to find in Hogwarts. Voldemort must know the weakness of the basilisk. He must have told Snape and others not to let a rooster appear in the range of Hogwarts.

Moreover, even if he found a rooster, he had to find a suitable time to deal with the basilisk.

The crowing of the rooster is not small. If it is at ordinary times, the sound will definitely attract other people. In this way, even if Jon solves the basilisk, he will not be able to sneak into the principal's office again.

Fortunately, there is still a lot of time left for him to solve these problems. At least he knows in advance what the guards in front of the principal's office are, so he can make adequate preparations next.

Moreover, if he remembers correctly, there should be an item in the Hogwarts Castle that can help him with his next action, and that thing is probably not discovered yet.

This castle seems to be full of dangers, but for Jon, this may be the place he is most familiar with. After all, the seven stories in the original book are all centered around this castle.

"After the ideological class in the afternoon, we still have to clean the public bathroom in the castle, so I suggest you don't eat too much at noon, Randy, have you forgotten that you almost vomited when you cleaned the bathroom last time?"

At lunch time, looking at Jon who was eating cold sausages and dry bread, Hermione couldn't help but whispered to remind him.

After hearing her words, Jon also put down the last piece of dry bread in his hand. Hermione was right. He almost couldn't hold it in the last time he cleaned the bathroom for the first time.

It has been almost three weeks since he came to this castle. He has basically realized that among these second-year students, Hermione is the "leader".

This little girl is smart and careful. She always takes care of others and lower-grade students. These second-year children are willing to listen to her.

"Have you never done such work again this summer? I remember that except for the first time you cleaned the bathroom in the first grade, you were uncomfortable and cried because of the smell there. After that, you forced yourself to accept it, and you never felt uncomfortable again?"

The girl looked at Jon and asked strangely.

Jon's heart jumped slightly, but his face remained calm.

"The gentleman who boarded with me during the summer vacation was very good to me and didn't let me do these jobs. I was a little uncomfortable when I just returned to school, but it won't be like this later."

Hermione seemed to be just asking questions without purpose. After hearing Jon's explanation, she nodded and didn't say anything more.

Jon became more alert in his heart. This little girl was different from other second-grade children. She would be able to see the problem as long as he showed a little bit of inconsistency with the original "Smith" behavior.

In the future, he needs to be more careful in front of Hermione.

I will continue writing in the afternoon and post one chapter in the morning
