Harry Potter Returns from Baldur's Gate

Although he felt Harry's gaze, Draco just stiffened his neck and stared at Ron, unwilling to turn around and meet Harry's gaze.

Draco had a feeling that what he had said before, 'Hogwarts is the safest place in the wizarding world', would probably not work.

Harry would repeat this sentence whenever he encountered something in Hogwarts.

But things can’t be that outrageous, right?

After all, Hogwarts is an ancient school that has existed for a thousand years. It should be safe...

When Draco thought of this, he suddenly realized something was wrong.

Hogwarts is a thousand-year-old castle... and a thousand-year-old castle with a lot of ghosts.

A shapeshifter and a basilisk may appear in this kind of castle today, and who knows what will appear tomorrow.

Add to that the forbidden forest next to it, which sounds like something bad is going to happen, and Draco feels that for the next seven years, Harry will probably greet him every year with the words "Hogwarts is the safest place in the wizarding world."

Damn it! Why did I have to say this at that time!

Just when Draco was regretting his decision.

Harry wanted to tease Draco by saying "Hogwarts is the safest place in the wizarding world", but when he found that Draco didn't respond, he didn't continue to torture Draco with a teasing look.

He turned his gaze to Ron.

"So what was the story behind that basilisk? And how could such a big thing be afraid of a rooster?"

After a brief recollection, Ron told Harry a story that Harry only heard halfway through before covering his face with his hands.

After Ron finished telling the story, Hermione didn't have any special reaction except that she frowned slightly, as if she was thinking about something.

Draco reached out and patted Harry's shoulder, looking at Harry with the same teasing look that Harry had just given him.

It's just that in Draco's eyes, besides three parts amusement, seven parts teasing, there was also ninety parts of disbelief.

Not only Draco found it unbelievable, but Harry, who covered his face halfway through listening and thought he couldn't be so stupid, also found it unbelievable.

An ordinary little wizard who only knew non-lethal spells dared to take his companions to the secret room of the castle to face a creature that might be as dangerous as a full-grown dragon.

And next to this basilisk, there is a lich.

Even after all this, I can still win? This is not magic!

But the mysterious man actually transformed himself into a lich?

While Harry covered his face and lamented how reckless he was in a certain timeline, he was also lamenting that the mysterious man had transformed himself into a lich instead of doing anything else.

Liches, undead creatures... hehehe...

When Ron finally finished telling the story of the wizard apprentice fighting the resurrected lich and basilisk.

When Harry took his hands away from his face, there was still a hint of embarrassment on his face.

That awkward expression was as if someone had taken your childhood diary and read it aloud in public.

If it were someone with a less-than-ideal skin, he would probably want to find a hole to crawl into at this moment.

Either the black wand goes in and the red wand comes out, and a thrilling fencing battle takes place on the spot.

But as a battle-hardened adventurer, Harry's skin is as thick as a city wall.

Don’t say that you didn’t do this yourself, even if you really did it yourself.

All you need to do is say, "These are all mistakes I made when I was young," and then add, "Who hasn't been young once?" and you can get away with it.

So even though he looked a little embarrassed, Harry still made a guess.

"Is there a possibility that Dumbledore gathered all the students in the Great Hall to prevent some overly curious students from appearing in places where they shouldn't be, so that it would be easier for him to deal with the basilisk?"

Draco scratched his head.

"Judging from the roosters at the entrance to the Great Hall, it is possible that Dumbledore does want to deal with the basilisk."

At this point, Draco paused.

"I can't understand why a creature at least the size of a full-grown dragon would be afraid of a rooster."

Hearing Draco's words, Hermione narrowed her eyes, and her whole body became sharper as if a sword had been cut out of her body.

"This is nothing strange. Some evil... magical creatures are difficult to destroy with artillery fire, but sharp blades and flames can achieve good results. Even spiritual... magic can also achieve good results."

Hearing Hermione's words, Draco and Harry shook their heads slightly at the same time.

“Obviously, there are some disagreements among us about this part of the experience.”

Seeing Draco and Harry shaking their heads, Hermione did not argue.

Instead, he looked around the hall and then at Harry and Draco.

"Guys, we can't waste time here now, we have to get out of here."

Harry's brows immediately frowned when he heard Hermione's suggestion.

"We were asked to stay here. Apparently Dumbledore and the others are dealing with the basilisk now. I don't think it would be a good idea to leave now."

Draco nodded as well.

"We don't know what's going on outside yet, so it's not safe to attack rashly."

After hearing what Harry and Draco said, Hermione's expression did not change, but Ron looked at Harry and Hermione in surprise.

"What's wrong? Do we have any problem?"

Noticing Ron's surprised look, Harry turned his head and looked at Ron, whose face was full of shock.

"Your roles are reversed. Usually, Harry, you come up with some more radical ideas..."

Halfway through his speech, Ron turned his gaze from Harry to Hermione.

"And Hermione will help while saying it's against school rules..."

Ron's eyes flickered between Harry and Hermione.

"Why do you all seem to have changed your style now?"

"That's my style."

As soon as Ron finished speaking, Harry and Hermione answered in unison.

As soon as I said this, I realized that the other person was saying the same thing as me.

Harry and Hermione immediately turned to look at each other.

The moment I opened my mouth, I found that the other person's lip shape was exactly the same as what I was about to say.

He quickly shut his mouth and tried to find another excuse.

But after seeing that the other party also shut up at this time, the two sides fell into a stalemate like meeting on a narrow road.

"A lot of things have changed, so you don't have to stick to the things you know."

Just as Harry and Hermione were in a weird stalemate, Draco put his arms around Ron's neck.

asked Harry and Hermione, who seemed to have entered a game called "Who Blinks First Loses".

“What should we do now?”

"Stay here and wait for further instructions from Dumbledore. We are students now and should obey the school rules."

Harry looked Hermione in the eyes and said to Draco.

"What Harry said makes sense, especially since we just lost 70 points. Don't forget what Dumbledore warned us before school started."

As soon as Draco agreed with Harry's point of view, Hermione looked Harry in the eye and said

"It's meaningless for us to stay here except to waste time. The shapeshifter is likely to be active right now. Every second we waste now may allow the shapeshifter's plan to move forward."

"Hermione is right. The threat posed by that shapeshifter is huge. It may be trying to get into the Room of Requirement right now."

"Who do you support?!"

Harry and Hermione turned their heads at the same time and shouted to Draco.

"Oh, calm down, calm down."

Draco raised his hand and waved at Harry and Hermione, signaling them not to get excited.

I saw that although Harry and Hermione had reached some kind of wonderful synchronization again, they finally stopped staring at each other and playing that childish blinking game.

Draco scratched the back of his head.

"That shapeshifter is indeed a threat, but we have also prepared insurance measures, so the danger from the shapeshifter is not as great as the threat from the basilisk right now."

When Hermione heard Draco say this, she narrowed her eyes slightly, and a certain aura rose from her body.

Even allowing Harry and his group to occupy this corner, Crabbe and Goyle, who were eating heartily, took away two plates of chicken legs and cakes from the table next to them. They turned their heads and looked at Harry and his group with surprise as they were discussing something.

However, after realizing that nothing had happened that was worth putting down the plates in front of them, Crabbe and Goyle continued to eat with their plates in hand.

Draco was not affected by the dominant aura that Hermione suddenly exuded, and continued to speak calmly.

"According to Ron, the basilisk can move through the pipes in the walls of Hogwarts, so..."

"Kill! Kill them all!"

While Draco was speaking, Harry suddenly heard a murderous voice.

"Did you hear that?"

"What did you hear?"

Draco, who was suddenly interrupted by Harry in the middle of speaking, looked at Harry strangely.

"Just now, a voice full of murderous intent said, 'Kill, kill them all.'"

Draco and Hermione's expressions turned serious when they heard Harry's words.

"I didn't hear anything."

"I do not have either."

Ever since I found out that those mind flayers had stuffed a larva into my brain.

This was the first time that Harry frowned so deeply, and the furrow between his brows was big enough to kill a mosquito.

"Great, it's a voice that only I can hear..."

Rubbing his temples with both hands, Harry began to wonder if he had brought back something else, or if it was when the shapeshifter had strangled him before.
