Fire Bearer at Hogwarts

Chapter 261

Chapter 261

"Soul arrow shooting!"

With a flick of Harry's wand, the silver-blue soul arrow came towards the back of the giant python.

This soul arrow not only woke up Claire, who was soundly asleep, but also startled the crawling python. It turned its head violently, and the first thing it saw was Claire who was equally surprised.

Through the glass of the lantern, Claire and the giant snake looked into each other's eyes for a moment, and then...then there was no more, the newly appointed castle administrator at Hogwarts became a stone sculpture with Harry's help.

"Ms. Claire!" Harry called out quickly, but the giant snake didn't intend to stay. It turned its head and saw Harry, swung its tail violently, and then slipped away.

Harry looked at the slipping python and the stiff Claire, and was caught in a dilemma for a while.

In desperation, Harry had no choice but to give up the pursuit, he walked up to Claire and then stretched out his hand and patted her shoulder lightly.

"Ms. Claire?"

The hard body gave Harry the answer, and Claire was also petrified by the giant python.

…………

"So you met in the auditorium... the python, right?" Snape frowned, and Harry's face was also full of unhappiness.

He didn't expect to meet Snape in the headmaster's office.

If he knew this was the case, he might as well go to Professor Embers.

"Yeah..." Harry said reluctantly, "It petrified Ms. Clare."

"What are you doing there so late?" Snape stood up abruptly, then looked at Harry with displeasure, and said in the deepest voice imaginable: "[-] points deduction from Gryffindor... "

"You!" Harry was so angry that he almost threw his head on the ground. He opened his mouth wide and was about to speak when the door of the principal's office was opened, and a group of professors walked in.

The leader was none other than Lockhart.

"Snape teaches... Headmaster, Hogwarts is no longer able to carry out teaching work..." Lockhart said with a forced smile, and he was still carrying a suitcase in his hand.

Obviously, his first thought when he heard the news was to hurry up and slip away.

"Professor Snape, this matter must be dealt with immediately." It was McGonagall who spoke, and she looked at Snape worriedly: "This may lead to the closure of Hogwarts."

After all, no one wanted to study in such a dangerous place. The last student who was petrified had just been sent to the school hospital, and the next one was Hogwarts Castle Warden.

What's next?

Hogwarts professors?

Flitwick was still standing behind McGonagall, he jumped to the front of the professors and said, "That must be a basilisk!"

His voice was sharp and seemed worried: "Only a basilisk can petrify others with its eyes!"

"The basilisk kills, not petrifies," another professor muttered.

"No no no!" Flitwick said, "If you look directly at it, the basilisk will kill that person, but if there is something in between, even glass will only petrify."

"Do not……"

Looking at the noisy professors, Snape frowned more and more. He first grabbed Lockhart who was about to run away, and then raised his wand around his neck.

"The sound is as loud as a bell!"

The loud voice overwhelmed the quarrels of the professors, and temporarily silenced the principal's office.

Looking at the messy professors, Snape swallowed and said, "First of all... Lockhart, you can't go."

"Then deans, please return to the lounge of the academy where you are to appease the little wizards immediately."

"Finally..." Snape glanced at Harry, who gave him a hard look, and said, "Mr. Potter... please return to your lounge immediately!"

After receiving the order from the acting headmaster, the professors responded coldly, and they started to walk towards the lounge.

"Principal Snape..." Lockhart stayed in the principal's office, he smiled awkwardly and said, "I still have a lot of letters to write, I'll go first..."

"Lockhart, come with me...to find Professor Embers." Snape said after holding back for a long time.

Except for Snape, who knew about the secret room incident, Ash should be the only one left in the school.

So, what is Ash doing now?

"Phil, the first thing you need is a firm grip on the back end of your wand."

Ash is teaching Phil a new magic at this time, which is Ash's favorite magic, and that is the soul crystal gun.

As a student of Biheim, whether he can graduate depends on the mastery of the soul crystal gun.

A qualified magician can master this...then a qualified owl should be able to do it too, right?

Phil was waving his wand, and there was a knock on the office door as soon as he took it.

"Please come in..." Phil flexibly transformed back into an owl, while Ash pulled open the wooden door of the office in doubt.

It's already two o'clock in the morning... Don't you humans sleep?

"Embers...someone has been petrified again." Snape said with a dark face, "It's Claire."

"Claire?" Ash was stunned for a moment... Why did he go to the infirmary just two days ago...

"The murderer is a basilisk." Seeing Ash's silent expression, Snape continued.

At the same time, he also pulled out Lockhart beside him.

"Oh... Ash!" Lockhart gave an embarrassed smile.

"Good evening, Lockhart..." Ash raised his eyebrows, and then asked, "Who found it?"

"Harry Potter..." Snape held back the name for a while.

"Huh?" Now Ash is a little...why it's him every time...

"Why is he there?" Ash continued to ask, standing up while asking, and then pulled Phil on his arm.

"I don't know either." Snape shook his head, before Ash finished speaking, he continued, "I told him to go back to the lounge first."

Ash couldn't help shaking his head now, you let Harry go back to the lounge in peace?Now he has fully understood the "brave" of Dumbledore...

Can he go back to rest in peace?

It is estimated that he will slip out of the lounge wearing an invisibility cloak in a short time.

The most important thing is to find him first, and then learn more information from him.

"Go to the Gryffindor lounge first." Ash said, and then took the lead and walked in front.

Snape nodded upon seeing this, and then dragged Lockhart to follow behind Ash.

…………

"What?" Ron looked at Harry in shock: "Ms. Claire was also petrified?!"

"Yes!" said Harry, "and I know what hit her."

"The professors say it's a basilisk!"

"The basilisk?!" Hermione was startled, "If you see the eyes of the basilisk..."

"That's right." Harry nodded, "But I know where the Chamber of Secrets is."

Both Hermione and Ron froze at his words.

Harry said, "The entrance to the Chamber of Secrets is Myrtle's bathroom on the second floor..." He wouldn't tell Hermione and Ron, as Tom had just told him.

"Let's go now!" Harry said, "Hogwarts can only be saved by killing the basilisk."

"Otherwise Hogwarts might, really, be shut down!"
