In This Hogwarts Without a Savior

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 sealed, leaving only the one on the eighth floor.

Unlike other classrooms or offices, the door to the principal's office is large and has two doors like a castle door.

At this moment, the door was tightly closed. Jon carefully approached the door, without reaching out to push it, but put his ear close to the door.

It was very quiet, almost no different from the current Hogwarts Castle, but for some reason, although Jon didn't hear anything, he smelled a faint fishy smell.

The smell was not strong, probably because it was blocked by the door, but the smell was so clear through the crack in the door that he knew it was not his imagination.

Jon put his hand on the door on the left. This door was not locked. It seemed that Snape and Dolohov had strict orders on all students, but there was no actual protection here. measure.

He let out a breath, then pushed forward slightly and pushed the door open a crack.

Through this crack, he saw what should be the foyer behind the door.

There was a thick and long body like a bucket lingering there. The emerald-green scales reflected the faint light in the dim light. It seemed to be asleep, and did not notice Jon who quietly opened the crack of the door. They were coiled together. The body floats up and down regularly.

Jon stared at the huge creature for a few seconds and closed the door again without seeing its head.

Nagini?

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

Another ancient one, the King of Snakes, did not belong to him, but obeyed his orders because of his bloodline and the talent of snake language inherited from his ancestors——

Basilisk!

Jon tightened the invisibility cloak around him, did not stop here, stepped lightly, and turned quickly towards the stairs.

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

Since Voldemort has taken control of Hogwarts Castle, the basilisk that was released from the Chamber of Secrets as early as when he was in school will naturally be used by him.

Letting it stay in front of the principal's office is the best guard. Locking the door is just superfluous.

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

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

As the most dangerous magical animal in the magical world, there is no doubt that the basilisk is powerful. Not only is it huge in size and extremely powerful, its skin is also resistant to most spells like a fire dragon, and its teeth are highly venomous, even Even Voldemort's Horcruxes can't resist it. The most important thing is that its eyes can directly deprive the life of the person looking at him once he looks into them.

Judging from these characteristics, a fire dragon of the same level is not even worthy of carrying its shoes in terms of aggression, but this powerful man-made black magic creature also has a fatal flaw!

It is afraid of the rooster's crow.

Perhaps because it was born from a rooster, even the crow of an ordinary rooster can be fatal to it.

To put it simply, 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 kill it very easily.

It's just that roosters are not so easy to find in Hogwarts. Voldemort must not be ignorant of this weakness of the basilisk. He must have told Snape that they would not let a rooster appear in Hogwarts. within the scope of tz.

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

The crowing of the rooster was quite loud. If it were at normal times, the sound would definitely attract other people, so that even if Jon eliminated the basilisk, he would not be able to sneak into the principal's office again.

Fortunately, there is still a long 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 that he can make adequate preparations next.

Moreover, if he remembered correctly, there should be another item in Hogwarts Castle that could help him with his next actions. There is a high probability that that item has not been 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 entire seven stories in the original book all revolve around this castle.

"After the afternoon ideological class, we have to clean the public bathroom in the castle, so I suggest you not to eat too much at noon. Randy, you forgot that you almost vomited when you were cleaning the bathroom last time. ?"

During lunch time, looking at Jon who was eating cold sausages and dry bread, Hermione couldn't help but remind him in a low voice.

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

It has been almost three weeks since he came to this castle, and he can basically tell that among the second-year students, Hermione is the "leader" among them.

This little girl is smart and careful, and she always takes care of other people and the students in the lower grades. The children in the second grade are also willing to listen to her.

"Have you never done such a job this summer? I remember that except when you cleaned the bathroom for the first time in the first grade and you cried because of the smell there, and then you forced yourself to accept it, you never did it again. Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

The girl looked at Jon and asked strangely.

Jon's heart skipped a beat, but he said with a calm expression on his face.

"The gentleman I boarded during the summer vacation was very kind to me and didn't ask me to do any of this work. I was a little uncomfortable when I first returned to school, but I won't be like this again."

Hermione seemed to be just asking a random question without any purpose. After hearing Jon's explanation, she nodded and said nothing more.

Jon became more vigilant in his heart. This little girl was different from other second-grade children. She could see the problem as long as she showed a little bit of behavior that was inconsistent with the original "Smith".

From now on, he would need to be more careful in front of Hermione.

I will continue writing in the afternoon and publish one chapter first in the morning.
