Hogwarts: A Chinese-Style Professor

Chapter 32 This isn't the time for kids to show off.
The group saw the ghosts' cheese covered in green mold, the giant gray tombstone cake, and enjoyed a performance by the headless hunters.

Harry didn't find a chance to speak to Camille until Ron's teeth were chattering and he complained that he couldn't take it anymore.

"Hurry up, hurry up! I hope there's still some pudding left in the auditorium for me to eat. I'm starving."

Seeing that Ron was in a hurry to leave, and that the others had almost finished their sightseeing, they prepared to leave with him and headed towards the passageway lit by black candles.

Just as Harry was feeling down, he suddenly heard a sinister, low hissing voice in his ear.

"Tear you apart, rip you apart, kill you."

That familiar voice again. It's the basilisk!
Harry snapped back to reality and called out to the others.

"Watch out! The basilisk is coming! I heard its voice, put on your glasses right away!"

During this time, he was busy with Quidditch training and homework and hardly had time to go out with Hermione and Ron, but all three of them remembered the rule of safety first and either wore their glasses or had them on.

"Basilisk?"

Jowell and Camille exchanged a glance, waved their wands, and along with Cedric, who was still confused about the situation, all three of them automatically put on a pair of glasses.

"Well"

Cedric adjusted his glasses, which had suddenly appeared, with a hint of unease. Despite having a lot of questions, he didn't rush to ask.

Harry's expression was solemn as he spoke, word by word:

“It said—it was starving—to kill—it was time.”

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed.

"We have to stop it!"

Without much thought, Harry charged ahead.

"Wait, Potter!"

Jowell tried to stop him, but Harry rushed too fast and was already out of his reach in the blink of an eye.

"Ah!"

A scornful jeer rang out, and Camille waved her wand without hesitation!
A strange sound rang out, and the ground beneath Harry's feet suddenly twisted violently, then rolled over him like soft waves, pulling him back in.

"what are you doing!"

Harry glared at her, trembling with rage.

“You reckless brat, with adults here, it’s not your place to show off.”

Camille didn't take Harry's abruptness to heart.

In the blink of an eye, she and Joe Weli had already started running before anyone else could react!

Beside them, Harry was bound by a rock slab controlled by Camille, moving spontaneously as the two advanced.

"Hermione, go to the professor's office right now and tell him about the Basilisk. Remember to secure your glasses, stay alert on the way, and respond when you hear me!"

Jia Meier decisively gave the order, and in the blink of an eye, she and Qiao Weili were about to rush out of the passage.

"Yes—yes! I understand!"

Hermione responded instinctively, but after realizing what she was doing, she hesitated—almost immediately, she looked at Ron beside her.

Ron had just swallowed a mouthful of saliva when his gaze met Hermione's, but his eyes immediately hardened—Hermione instantly understood what he meant.

The three of them dared to confront the thief who stole the magic stone when they were in first grade, so how could a basilisk monster scare them now?

Now that Harry has been taken away, they will naturally follow!
"Cedric, go and inform the professor about this. We can't leave Harry alone!"

Hermione and Ron gave Cedric almost no time to react before they started running, trying to catch up with the troops ahead!
"Wait—you guys—"

Cedric reached out in vain to try and stop the two, but was left alone in the end.

"Tsk!"

He gritted his teeth and decisively turned and ran towards Li Wei's office—what were they talking about, a basilisk? Judging from the glasses on their faces, including mine, yes, this kind of response probably means a basilisk.

But why could Harry hear the Basilisk's voice? And why did everyone else seem to know all about it?

If Cedric hadn't already studied Levi's Dark Creature Notes beforehand, he would have been completely bewildered. "How could such a dangerous creature be in the school?"

Cedric ran frantically down the stairwell, wishing he had his flying broomstick with him at the moment—next time, he would definitely place it in a fixed location so he could summon it at any time.

"Go this way!"

Having calmed down, Harry was led by Camille to run up the stairs and into the foyer.

The hall was filled with the sounds of laughter and celebration from the Halloween party, making it unlikely that anything else could be heard.

"Put me down! I can't hear you like this."

Camille glanced at Jowell, and seeing that he nodded, she put Harry down.

The two followed Harry as he ran at full speed up the marble staircase, reaching the second and third floors of the castle. Harry raced around the entire third floor, followed closely by the voices of Ron and Hermione.

"Nonsense! What are you doing here!"

When Jowell saw Hermione Ron stumbling along, his tone suddenly turned stern.

This is a basilisk! A creature even they weren't confident they could subdue, are these students joking?!

"us--"

Hermione was about to defend herself.

"Forget it—this is not the time to argue."

Camille interrupted Hermione, gripped her wand tightly, and gestured for Jowell to come with her.

“Joely, I’ll be your eyes. Once you spot the basilisk, you must contain it!”

"I know."

Joe Willy looked down at Camille's boots, his expression grave.

His magic is stronger than Camille's; now is not the time to worry about her safety.

"Wait, can we make a big commotion to scare it away? Or attract other professors—do we really have to do it ourselves?"

Ron saw the two walk forward without any hesitation, and he admired them but was also very worried. He subconsciously offered a suggestion.

"No, the basilisk's eyes are too deadly. We can't let it run rampant—the same goes for the other professors. Caught off guard, they are very likely to be hit, and the cost will be even greater than for us."

The two held their breath and moved slowly forward in the darkness, gradually making out a line of blood-red words.

The secret chamber has been opened. Beware of those who oppose the heir.

Harry and his friends quickly caught up with the two and saw the blood-written words on the wall.

The three of them felt the cold air from the ground rise up again, freezing their bodies and blood with an even colder temperature!
Just then, Li Wei appeared from the corner of the wall and darted to the side of the group in a few big strides.

"professor!"

Upon seeing Levi appear, although Jovel and Camille's expressions remained solemn, their hearts immediately relaxed—with the professor there, they had nothing to fear, even if the enemy was a basilisk!

"Ah."

Li Wei responded, but his expression wasn't good.

He had already told Dumbledore about the Basilisk, so how did the Basilisk incident still happen?

But the first thing to confirm is whether the basilisk is still here!
He knelt on one knee and struck the ground with his wand.

"Da—Da—"

The sound waves spread to the ground with the tapping action, the echoes lingering and gradually spreading to the entire third floor, and then to the entire castle.

"."

The professors, who were enjoying the festive atmosphere on the first floor, suddenly looked up and alertly glanced at the third floor.

At Hogwarts, who would dare to use detection magic on such a large scale?
