Marvel's Magic Master

Chapter 123 The Strength of the Professors (Part )
"Harry, let's move back!"

George did not go in with the professors, but obediently took Harry away from the door.

At this moment, just wait quietly for the results.

A moment later, a chaotic sound was heard in the room in the distance, including the crowing of roosters, the hissing of a basilisk in fear, and the sounds of professors casting spells.

"Close your eyes tightly!"

"The Divine Edge is Shadowless!"

"Thunderbolt explosion!"

"Super strong armor protection!"

"The Eye Disease Spell seals the strongest ability of the basilisk, the Explosion Spell blows it away, the Divine Edge Shadowless Finisher, and the Super Armor Spell protect everyone from the basilisk's counterattack. I'm afraid that even without the rooster, this basilisk is no match for the professors!"

George listened to the noise in the room and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Except for fake wizards like Lockhart, the wizards on the Hogwarts teaching team are the top wizards in the entire wizarding world.

Even Sybill Trelawney, the Divination professor who is crazy most of the time and only teaches nonsense in class, is the great-great-granddaughter of the real prophet "Cassandra Trelawney".

George waited until the noise in that room ended before he led Harry over.

At this time, the huge snake body of the basilisk was lying on the ground in pieces, and it was obviously dead.

The professors were unharmed as they used magic to collect the scattered roosters and put them back into the box.

"Dean, I'm very interested in magical animals, and I've been learning about them from Hagrid recently. Can I collect a few of its teeth as a souvenir?"

Seeing that the matter had been settled, George rolled his eyes and asked Snape.

The basilisk's teeth are one of the few things that can destroy Voldemort's Horcruxes. Getting a few of them can be used in the future in case of emergency.

"We were able to kill the basilisk so easily this time, thanks to the big rooster you brought. The basilisk's teeth are poisonous, so be careful."

Snape agreed without a second thought.

George immediately stepped forward and pulled out several of the basilisk's fangs and placed them in the box containing the rooster.

The basilisk was dealt with and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

But just as they turned to leave the room, Lockhart, who was walking at the back, quietly drew out his wand.

When he first fought the basilisk, he was so scared that he hid in the corner and trembled. If these professors went out, everything he had built before would be destroyed, and he would become the biggest liar.

So he planned to use the mass amnesia spell to erase the memories of these people while everyone was off guard, and change their memories to show that he alone defeated the basilisk and saved the entire Hogwarts.

"Professor Lockhart, what are you doing? Expelliarmus!"

George, who had been watching Lockhart's movements, saw Lockhart pull out his wand and wanted to attack all the professors, so he immediately cast a Disarming Spell, successfully knocking Lockhart away and disarming his wand.

"George, what's going on?"

McGonagall and the professors looked confused.

George pointed at Lockhart and replied:
"I just saw Professor Lockhart walking behind, trying to cast a spell on all the professors."

"No, I didn't do that, George, how could you attack a teacher?"

Lockhart stood up and quickly denied it, while Snape came directly to Lockhart:

"Legilimency!"

Compared to Lockhart, he definitely trusted George more. After a moment, he said with a grim expression:

"This guy wants to cast a Memory Charm on us and then take the credit for defeating the Basilisk, just like he wrote the stories of those other wizards in books and cast a Memory Charm on them."

"This liar, I knew he was a liar."

When the professors heard what Snape said, they immediately pointed at Lockhart and started cursing.

After Lockhart woke up, he continued to refute:

"You can't slander me just because you're jealous of me. I didn't do that."

"Confinement quickly!"

Snape pointed his wand at Lockhart, and a rope appeared out of thin air, tying Lockhart tightly like a snake.

"You'd better wait to tell these words to the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic. If they deny it then, I will provide them with a few drops of Veritaserum as a courtesy."

"I'm sorry, Lockhart. Although you've given me a lot of notes, I can't let you erase my memory."

George said to himself as he saw Lockhart's desperate face.

In fact, if Lockhart didn't want to erase everyone's memory in the end, he would not touch Lockhart because Lockhart often gave him notes.

It had nothing to do with him how many wizards' memories Lockhart had erased and claimed their experiences as his own to publish in novels.

By keeping Lockhart, he can continue to take the note to the restricted area to read books in the future.

Unfortunately, Lockhart was determined to erase everyone's memory, including him, so he naturally couldn't just sit there and do nothing.

Fortunately, he had copied down most of the valuable things in the restricted area, so it wouldn't be a problem if he didn't go there in the future.

In the afternoon, because the Chamber of Secrets was discovered and the basilisk was killed, Dumbledore naturally returned to school.

The first thing Dumbledore did after returning to school was to call George, Harry, Hermione, Ron and Ginny to the principal's office and asked them in detail about what had happened.

George naturally said what he should say and concealed what he should conceal.

In fact, apart from encouraging Ginny to tell the truth and helping to transport the rooster later, he did not appear to be involved in this matter much, and not many questions were asked of him.

The main targets of questioning were still Harry and Ginny.

Especially about the details of the night when Ginny's diary was stolen, he asked very carefully. It was obvious that Dumbledore did not want Voldemort's diary to be scattered around.

But he didn't get any clues.

The key point is that when Ginny was describing the incident, for some reason she did not mention that she had clipped the butterfly bookmark in her diary. George thought she might have forgotten this little detail.

Even if Ginny said it, it wouldn't matter. Who would have thought that he could use magnetism to locate the position of a bookmark? Magnetism is a superpower, just like the power of science, it is not in the wizarding system.

As long as Dumbledore didn't use the time-turner, he wouldn't be able to see any flaws, and it has already been more than five hours.

Besides, if it weren't for his encouragement, Ginny might not have the courage to confess all this. He was the hero of this matter.

After the questioning, George returned to the dormitory smoothly. He had no interest in knowing the subsequent private conversation between Dumbledore and Harry.

In the evening, an announcement was posted on the school bulletin board that the basilisk had been killed by the school professor, and the students were very happy.

Afterwards, the school resumed normal classes and the Quidditch games went on as normal. The final exams began more than half a month later and the good news of the cancellation of the final exams in the original book did not appear.
