Chapter 94 92. Snake and Jon in the Hall (seeking first order)
Christmas songs are being sung in the hall.
The singing is not loud, but it can be heard that every student who sings is very happy.
The professors who are not qualified to attend the Christmas dinner held by Voldemort are basically marginal figures, and their personalities are not the kind of extreme types, so leaving them to celebrate the holiday with the students will not make any students feel depressed or uncomfortable.
Jon, wearing the invisibility cloak, did not stay on the first floor for long. He held the opened Marauder's Map in his hand. After confirming that there was no one above the first floor in the entire castle in front of the stairs, he let go of his movements and quickly came to the door of the principal's office on the eighth floor.
He put away the invisibility cloak. Although wearing it can help a little at the beginning, it is also very likely to damage the invisibility cloak.
Jon did not forget that this cloak was not his, but the only hope of another witch who had given up. Moreover, as long as the crowing of the cock exposed his position, the real role of the invisibility cloak was actually not great.
After putting away the invisibility cloak and taking out the wand, he hid Fox's feather inside his sleeve cuffs to ensure that he could hold the feather in the first place if any accident happened. Then Jon took out a black cloth strip from his pocket.
He temporarily tied the black cloth strip to his forehead, took out the pendant with a ring and put it on his neck, then pulled off the two buttons sewn on the cuffs, and first removed the Transfiguration on the brown button.
A half-filled cloth bag appeared in front of him. Jon bit the wand in his mouth, lifted the cloth bag with one hand, and then pulled down the cloth strip on his forehead with the other hand 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 hallway as big as half of the auditorium, and a giant snake more than 20 feet long was winding in the center of the hallway!
When Jon came in, the basilisk was resting with its eyes closed. It had lived for nearly a thousand years, and had actually been sleeping most of its life. Although it was a magical animal born by a rooster, it would sleep longer in the cold winter.
But the moment Jon opened the door, it had already opened its earthy brown eyes alertly!
Its current owner arranged it here, which was a death order for it. Anyone who dared to break into this door, no matter who it was, would die!
In the past seven years, it has eaten three students and a professor who had mistakenly entered the principal's office, but its owner not only did not blame it, but also gave it the greatest reward.
It will not forget the deliciousness of human flesh, and after so long, today another "delicacy" finally came to its door.
It immediately looked for Jon's eyes, wanting to kill this weak life instantly through the magic of death, just like the previous four murders.
But Jon, who was already blindfolded, was of course not affected at all. After entering the door, he did not immediately undo the Transfiguration of the black button, but first poured all the contents of the cloth bag onto the ground.
It was a pile of sand, the gravel was very fine and dry, and after he poured it out, it scattered into a piece.
Then Jon undoes the Transfiguration on the black button, and a colorful rooster appears in his arms!
"Cock-a-doodle-doo!"
The next second after the rooster appeared, it opened its throat impatiently as Aberforth said, and made a pleasant crowing sound!
The crowing of the rooster echoed in the hallway, and at the moment this sound rang out, the basilisk suddenly rolled on the ground in pain as if it was poured with boiling hot oil!
The crowing of the rooster is the most terrifying poison in the world for it. The sound of this creature that breeds it is enough to cause it truly fatal damage.
But the basilisk was not so fragile that it would die immediately after hearing the crowing sound. Otherwise, it would not have been listed as a magical animal of the xxxxx level by the Ministry of Magic, on par with the Phoenix and Fire Dragon, and was crowned with the title of Snake King.
It endured the severe pain and fear from the depths of its soul, stared at Jon with its brown eyes, opened its bloody mouth, and revealed two fangs that flashed with cold light. Its body was compressed like a spring, and then rushed towards him at an incredible speed!
As soon as Jon unlocked the rooster transformation, he had already grasped the wand in his mouth. Instead of swinging the wand, he used the ring to cast a spell that was so familiar that it could not be more familiar.
"Wingardium Leviosa!"
The feeling of weightlessness instantly enveloped his whole body, making him float in the air!
The next second, the basilisk's head hit the ground where Jon had just stood, and the gravel scattered on the ground was arched everywhere.
Jon, who was flying in the air, did not stop his movements. He waved his wand without hesitation and chanted the same spell again!
"Wingardium Leviosa!"
The object of the floating spell cast by the wand this time was not anything else, but the gravel that had been scattered on the ground!
Thousands of tiny gravels floated up like Jon under the influence of the spell. In the air, they were like stars in the vast universe, floating and moving slowly in a weightless state, but when they encountered obstacles, they could give Jon, who released this magic, the most intuitive feedback.
This was enough for him to sense all the movements of the basilisk in the hallway even though he lost his sight!
Of course, the basilisk could not think of the purpose of the annoying gravel around it. It felt as if its brain was about to explode, and it only wanted to eat the flying human and the chicken in his arms immediately!
Soon it put this idea into action, and the green scales that reflected the faint light slid quickly. It once again aimed at Jon floating in the air, and rushed out again. This time it did not open its mouth again, but surrounded its long and thick body like a bucket, trying to trap Jon from a larger space, and then eat him without any mistakes!
However, every movement made by its huge body squeezed the floating space of the gravel around it. Jon could easily judge the position of the basilisk and the action it was going to make next by the direction in which the gravel was bumped.
After coming up with this method, he practiced it countless times with Aberforth in the Hog's Head Inn, and was able to make extremely accurate judgments about the information conveyed by the movement of gravel!
So, when the second cockcrow sounded and the basilisk launched its second sprint, Jon also prepared for the second dodge in advance.
