"Who are you? Do we know each other?" The ghost Myrtle emerged from her cubicle and stared at Lockhart. You're obviously not a student of your age, professor?"

Because the professor also has the authority of a part of the castle, Myrtle did not dare to make trouble in front of the professor.

"Yes, I'm the new Defence Against the Dark Arts professor, I have a few

The students have gone from here, haven't they?

Originally, Myrtle seemed a little timid, but when she heard that he was a professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts, she suddenly came to her senses.

"Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, isn't it? That's a surprise! If you're going to die, please don't go too fast, okay? I mean, there's nothing wrong with being a ghost, and this bathroom is quite spacious. ."

This line should be reserved for Harry Potter, right? You flirtatious woman, Myrtle!

"If you are willing to help me down, I will seriously consider it." Lockhart is noncommittal, "but I am planning to avenge you and kill the monster below, so I don't plan to die."

Myrtle was obviously taken aback: "So you know!"

"You're not the only one who knows but refuses to say it," Lockhart said as he pulled his rubber boots over his feet.

"Then you're looking for your own death...or can you hide and collect the bodies for your students?"

"Can't you say a couple of nice things? To help, or not to help?" Lockhart lost his patience.

If you leave your gloves, I'll help you. "Myrtle made an offer.

Lockhart thought about it for a moment—if his luxurious robe was stained with a pile of feces and urine, it would be worth more than a pair of gloves, so he agreed.

Myrtle did what she said, and immediately after receiving the reward, she exerted her ability as a necromancer to help Lockhart float down from the hole.

The back room tunnel is very long. In the original book, Harry and Ron arrived at the back room passage after sliding for a long time. But with the help of the necromancer, Lockhart escaped from the cave almost as soon as he entered the cave.

The other end appeared, and the speed was definitely faster than that of the Phoenix.

Of course, it would have been better without that biting cold.

After landing, Lockhart was pleased to discover that he had made the right decision to change to a pair of rubber boots.

Because the passage in front of the secret room was not only filled with water and mud, but also filled with an unpleasant stench. The dim light of the fire shone on the ground, revealing the skeletons of small creatures such as mice and lizards.

I didn't expect this basilisk to be very particular, and it would even spit out bones after eating a mouse, instead of digesting it directly.

"Excellent Invisibility!"

Lockhart cast an invisibility spell on himself, then quickly stepped forward, towards the entrance of the secret room, where the sound of fighting had already been heard.

Contrary to Lockhart's expectations, the battle in the Chamber of Secrets was not as one-sided as he imagined

Under the fear of being destroyed, this piece of Tom Riddle's soul burst out with extraordinary strength, and it was not the Basilisk in Lockhart's imagination that was suppressed and beaten, but the three saviors.

"What's the matter? What about the look just now? Who is so outspoken that he is going to destroy me?"

Tom Riddle roared and poured the spell in his hand to the three saviors, and the secret room looked like an explosion had occurred, and the turned up stones were everywhere.

AE

The upturned rocks could be said to have saved Harry and the three of them—they were now hiding behind the rocks, suppressed by sixteen-year-old Voldemort who couldn't even lift their heads.

Harry Potter was lying on the ground in embarrassment, his eyes were closed, and there was blood on his forehead

With his third eye, he became the only one who dared to check Voldemort's love.

The people over there, and waving the wand trying to counterattack.

"Except your weapons!" he shouted.

Hearing Harry's move, Ron also stretched out his wand from behind another stone, aiming at a rough area: "Flying sand and moving stones!"

Hermione's was a little more advanced: "Immbulus!

She knew that the basilisk was cold-blooded, and the cold weather would make it more sluggish.

Despite being pinned down, their training over time taught them to form crossfires, splitting and combining attacks on their foes.

However, before the red spells could get close to Voldemort, they were bounced off by a turquoise figure.

The thousand-year-old basilisk curled up and moved slowly around Tom Riddle, helping him to block all the ill-tempered little curses of the Saviors.

The phoenix above the secret room screamed, as if it wanted to pounce on the basilisk, but every time it tried to pounce, it would be forced back by Voldemort's spell, and he never found a chance.

Seeing this situation, Lockhart was a little embarrassed at first, but then he reacted.

Voldemort in the original book is undoubtedly too big. When he saw Harry lost his wand and came alone, he tried to talk to him with teasing and curiosity, but he was never able to kill him, and he finally got rid of it. Harry found a chance to use the basilisk's fangs to pierce the diary.

But now Voldemort is full of firepower, even if he is only in the fifth grade at the age of 16, and he is not proficient in so much black magic, that is not what Harry and the others can compete with now.

Lockhart also noticed that although Harry had the Gryffindor sword in his hand, he had no chance of getting close to the Basilisk or Voldemort at all, and had to continue.

Continue to huddle behind the stone.

Ron was wearing the magic lens that Lockhart had given him, and his heart was getting more and more anxious.

Because he can see that Tom Riddle's body is getting brighter and brighter, while his sister's side is getting darker and darker, which is obviously not a good sign.

But it's useless to be anxious about some things. In terms of Voldemort's current offensive and defensive level, as long as he doesn't release water, the three little wizards can't attack at all.

This gets a little tricky.

Chapter 103 Three on One

As the situation gradually moved in Voldemort's favor, Voldemort began to float again.

\"Come on, bed bugs! How about your righteousness?"

The reason why Voldemort can be arrogant naturally has his reasons. I saw him shaking his hand, and three magics flew out from the tip of his wand. This multi-casting skill is difficult for even Lockhart to master now.

After discovering that the three little wizards were unable to counterattack, he even had enough energy to use polymorphism to turn the gravel on the ground into small snakes and let them harass Harry a few.

Hermione J was the only one who was quite accomplished in Transfiguration, so she had to devote a lot of energy to dealing with Riddle's Transfiguration, and there was one less person who could participate in the siege.

For the first time, Harry and Ron hated how little effort they put into Transfiguration class, and they couldn't even turn fur slippers into little white rabbits at their current level.

If it weren't for the fact that Ginny's magic power is too weak, Tom Riddle's advantage is definitely not as small as it is now.

"It can't go on like this!" Harry leaned down and shouted to the two little friends,

"we must…"

"Quiet!" Hermione's voice suddenly sounded in his heart, "Even if you have something to say, don't say it."

Harry couldn't help but wonder when Hermione learned the sound transmission spell, and he must come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible.

"You and Ron get his attention, and I'm going to put on the invisibility cloak that Dad gave me, get close to the snake with that sword, and kill it! As long as the snake is around, I

There is no way we can attack Voldemort! \"

As Harry said that, he took out the invisibility cloak from his bulging clothes on his chest, and it seemed that he planned to go straight on.

"What?" Hermione was taken aback. "Wait, do we need to plan some more..."

"There's no time to plan, so just do it!"

Harry made a prompt decision and threw the only cloak in the Deathly Hallows that helped the original owner avoid death, and the whole person suddenly disappeared from the sight of the other two.

Ron reacted quicker than Hermione, and as soon as Harry became invisible, he reached for the wand in his hand and pointed in Voldemort's direction.

"The arrow is not empty!"

With this incantation, four or five feathered arrows bounced off the tip of his staff.

It's a pity that these feathered arrows are not very accurate. Except for one arrow that almost hit the basilisk's eye, the rest are not even within three meters of the target.

\"Arrow Charm?" Hermione was a little surprised.

Ron grudgingly answered - he didn't really like the spell.

Hermione knew why—she had seen it on Quidditch Origins before. There was a team called the "Appleby Arrows" in the professional Quidditch team. Whenever the team's Chaser scored, Their supporters would cast arrows into the air with a spell.

But Ron is a supporter of the Chadley Cannons, and the Chadley Cannons have been going from bad to worse in recent years, and it's normal that he doesn't like to use the spell of one of his mortal enemies, because every time he hears it, it means The Arrows got another 10 at home to the Artillery.

Although he doesn't like it, Ron also knows that this is not the time to be emotional.

The team needs remote output, and he can only use this kind of low mana consumption as much as possible.

A spell that threatens the Basilisk.

And Hermione, as the only person in the team who didn't desert in the Transfiguration class, she must shoulder the responsibility of fighting the Transfiguration.

She opened the magic umbrella to cover herself, and then began to concentrate on performing Transfiguration.

"The appearance has changed drastically!"

Under the transformation spell, the icy stone turned into little meerkat, and dashed towards the snake that it touched.

Ron was in charge of the long-range attack, Hermione controlled the field, and a hidden battlefield assassin touched the enemy's back - the scene that Lockhart most wanted to see finally appeared.

Too bad there are flaws.

As one of the holy weapons that has deceived Death, Peverell's invisibility cloak still works, and Voldemort failed to see through it. But no matter how careful Harry was, he couldn't completely hide the sound of his walking.

That's why he needs someone else to cover him 0

It would be nice to cast a muffler spell. Lockhart said heartily.

But it’s not a big problem. Let’s not say that Voldemort’s attention is all on the battle. It’s the basilisk. Because it hasn’t shed its skin yet, its hearing and vision are in the worst state, so I can’t hear Harry approaching. .

Although Lockhart didn't know where Harry was, that didn't stop him from continuing to watch the battle.

Seeing the meerkat transformed by Hermione, the basilisk suddenly became agitated. It stared at the meerkat transformed by Hermione and made a threatening roar.

Voldemort naturally observed this phenomenon, but as a kind of snake, he knew that this was the instinctive reaction of the snake when it saw its natural enemy, as if he couldn't control the snake that day and let it attack Filch instinctively. like a cat.

"Calm, that little thing can't hurt you!" He had to remind him in Parseltongue. "I know! But I can't see! I can't hear!" replied the basilisk irritably.

"what?"

Tom Riddle didn't react for a while, and thought it was the basilisk's molt that finally thickened to an unbearable level.

"Hold on for a while, and when it's over, you can use the pile of tongue stones in front of you to shed your skin." He hurriedly ordered, "Smell with your nose!"

But then he realized that something was wrong - because he felt the breath of magic in the head of the basilisk.

Above the secret room, a pattern of a crescent moon mixed with mysterious runes shone there, which was very beautiful. But no matter who looks at it, there is a kind of fear in the heart.

"Ancient rune? No, it's a spell!" He raised Ginny's wand. "Distraction!"

It's too late, it's too soon.

Just as Tom cast the spell, Harry suddenly lifted his invisibility cloak.

He closed his eyes tightly, and rushed forward with the silver sword in his hand, the tip of the sword was about to stab the basilisk's jaw.

But the little wizards probably haven't heard of the three-purpose technique. Tom Riddle responded very quickly, and immediately used the exorcism spell on it: "Depuls!"

Harry felt a sudden force attack, his body flew three or four meters away as if hit by a wild boar, and even threw his wand out.

But the so-called care of one and the other is the same thing, the phoenix that has been hovering in the sky

Finally found the opportunity, and swooped down, facing the basilisk's cloudy eyes - pecking fiercely.

The black blood of the basilisk sprinkled from the sky, and the stench suddenly filled the entire secret room. Even Ron and Hermione could smell the smell of snake blood.

But Tom Riddle couldn't care less about the snake. Seeing that he had a chance to hold Harry as a hostage, he ignored the arrows that Ron let over, and immediately followed Harry with a spell.

\"All bound!" He used the binding spell.

It wasn't that he didn't want to use Arvada to eat the melon, but he knew that Ginny's magic power wasn't enough, and the wand wouldn't cooperate.

Harry wanted to get up from the ground and dodge the spell, but no matter how fast the spell was, it was faster than a human being. He just lost his focus and immediately wanted to move away. I'm afraid even the youngest seeker in history. Golfers are not so simple either.

And of course, Harry got hit by the spell and went stiff all over.

Tom Riddle was overjoyed to see Harry incapacitated.

He raised his hand and struck the phoenix with another spell, and Fox deftly flew away, but it also freed the basilisk from its entanglement.

"Kill him!" Tom Riddle shouted, pointing in front of him. "You can smell it, it's right in front of you!"

If he succeeds, even if the basilisk's eyes can no longer be used, it can use its fangs to make the savior no longer live up to its name.

Too bad there were other people there.

Chapter 104 Heroes always appear when they are most needed

After hearing the order, the basilisk immediately flattened its tall body, smelled the smell of Harry Potter, and walked on the ground.

Fox tried to step up to block, but Voldemort threw a dozen or so missiles into the air, driving it away from the basilisk's head to keep it out of the way.
