Chapter 372 The Basilisk Appears, the Veela Sisters Arrive
It's the weekend now.
Although Hogwarts has weekends, students do not go home; they simply do not have to attend school.
Wizards in their third year or above can visit Hogsmeade during the day after their parents sign their consent, but must return to the castle at night.
At least that's true of Hogwarts.
Aaron originally planned to take Merakala to Hogsmeade Village for an experience.
As the most special member of Hogwarts, even more so than Hagrid, Aaron naturally enjoyed certain privileges.
Even though Mera and Carla were only first-year students, Dumbledore turned a blind eye to their leaving the castle.
Hermione, hearing this, followed out of curiosity.
However, just as the three were preparing to leave on Saturday morning,
The sudden arrival of two girls disrupted the four's plans.
Looking at the two girls before me, one big and one small, who seemed to have been cut from the same mold, Hibiscus and Gabrielle...
Kara and Mera looked left and right, then stared intently at Aaron.
Those little eyes seemed to say: Too small.
Furong is nearly 1.7 meters tall, with waist-length silver hair and sparkling blue eyes that attract everyone's attention.
In addition, her grandmother was a Veela, so she, being a hybrid of human and Veela, possesses the advantages of both.
Just standing there made most witches feel ashamed.
“Hello, Mr. Aaron! I am Fleur de Lacourt, a fifth-year student at the Beauxbatons School of Magic in France.”
“I am Gabriella Curl, the future Wizard 01 of Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.”
Hibiscus and Gabrielle were well-mannered and introduced themselves immediately, displaying aristocratic manners in every smile and gesture.
“I know you guys, but I didn’t expect you to come to Hogwarts on a Saturday.”
Aaron was somewhat surprised, because theoretically, the rules of Beauxbatons Magic were similar to those of Hogwarts, and one could not go out freely even on weekends.
Hibiscus smiled shyly, her Veela charm flowing naturally, captivating the male wizards watching from afar.
Ron, in particular, stared so intently his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
"Oh no, yet another witch has fallen for the succubus's cursed appearance."
Ron was driven almost mad with jealousy. "I don't understand why everyone is so focused on appearance, as if appearance represents everything."
"Shouldn't we pay more attention to the soul than to appearance? For example, isn't a pure soul like mine more worthy of praise and appreciation?"
Neville gave Ron a strange look, his eyes seeming to say: You're dreaming.
"I think... I mean, perhaps Mr. Aaron's heart is also pure?"
Noticing Ron's gaze, which seemed to regard him as a traitor, Neville's voice trailed off, but he still insisted on finishing his sentence.
Ron was breathing heavily.
孽 孽!
The beautiful Hibiscus and Hermione, who radiates beauty with just a little makeup, are both top-tier beauties.
Even Luna, who was known as the crazy girl, was a beauty.
Although Ron wasn't envious of Aaron for winning Luna's heart, Hermione and Fleur were truly the ones who captured his heart.
"No, we have to do something."
Ron's eyes flickered slightly. If things continued like this, all the male wizards at Hogwarts would be bachelors.
Fleur didn't notice Ron at all; her eyes were fixed on Aaron. She said softly, "It's mainly because Gabrielle really wanted to see you, so I took leave from school and came here on the Hogwarts Express with Gabrielle on the weekend evening."
Eight-year-old Gabrielle was not shy like the other little witches. She seemed to know nothing of embarrassment and had been staring at Aaron ever since she came in.
People always pursue beautiful things.
Gabrielle was no exception.
"Big brother, you're so handsome! You're ten times more handsome than in the Daily Prophet!"
Aaron patted her little head. "Thank you for the compliment."
Gabrielle chuckled, enjoying the warmth of the large hand like a golden retriever.
It feels great in the hand.
Furong watched this scene with envy, and she also wanted to try the feeling of a large hand rubbing her head.
That feeling must be amazing, right?
Just as Furong was lost in thought, a painful wail suddenly came from afar.
"No!"
"Mrs. Lorris?"
"Who killed my cat?!"
Furong frowned as she looked at the commotion in the distance, a hint of worry in her eyes, and said:
"What happened?"
Before anyone else could answer, Kara blinked. "It's nothing, just a cat that got petrified."
Hermione's eyes widened slightly. "You mean Filch's cat? Merlin, that's wonderful... I mean, terrible!"
"Cats are so cute, who would hurt one?"
"Could it be another prank by Gemini?"
"Hey, this has nothing to do with us. We've been here the whole time, so don't talk nonsense."
Two loud voices rang out from the crowd; they belonged to the Geminis, George and Fred.
They are explaining to the others in the crowd.
As two of the most famous pranksters at Hogwarts, it's no surprise that many people believe these "great" pranks were the work of these two.
“I did it! Believe me, it was me!” Ron’s face flushed red as he stepped forward to take responsibility for Lady Lorris’s petrification.
"Come on, Ron, with your abilities? Do you even know a high-level spell like Petrify All?"
"Ron, I know you want to show off, but clearly, you're not cut out for it!"
George and Fred ignored Ron's disapproving looks and continued to mock him.
The others also wore the same smile.
It was as if they were laughing at Ron for overestimating his abilities.
Especially Malfoy and his two henchmen.
If Aaron hadn't been there, they would have definitely been trash-talking Ron in front of him.
Ron tried to explain, but couldn't quite put his finger on it.
Nobody believed him.
Even Harry.
And Hermione.
Hermione rolled her eyes and pouted, "Ron is still as show-off as ever, but he's always clumsy and lazy, so there's no way he could do something like that."
Furong turned her head to look at him, then looked away; she wasn't interested in the boy with the freckles all over his face.
Although in the West, freckles are not considered ugly, and can even be considered a plus.
But there is no harm without comparison.
If perfection exists in the world, it is definitely Aaron.
Aaron is perfect, and he is the perfect reference point.
To determine whether someone is handsome or not, simply compare them to Aaron and see how many "perfect" features they possess.
Unfortunately, Ron's freckles are not one of his perfect features.
With beauty and ugliness being redefined by 987, Ron's appearance score plummeted to almost zero.
"No, he's right. This matter really is related to him."
Aaron gave Ron a long, hard look.
Hermione was quite surprised to hear this. "No way, him?"
"Ron doesn't know petrification, but that doesn't mean other things can't."
As soon as Aaron finished speaking, Mera raised her hand and said, "I know, isn't it the basilisk?"
"In the Forbidden Books section of Hogwarts, the book 'Forbidden to Tame Animals for Experimentation' describes a forbidden monster capable of petrifying other creatures."
Kara immediately realized, "Could it be the work of Slytherin? Slytherin represents the snake, so it makes sense for them to secretly raise a basilisk."
The others looked to Aaron for confirmation, and when they saw Aaron nod, Fleur's expression turned to shock.
"By Merlin, how could there be such a dangerous monster at Hogwarts!"
Kara is already using her super vision to search for the basilisk.
Mera warned, "Be careful, any living being that makes eye contact with the basilisk will be petrified by its magical curse."
“I’ve seen it. It’s running through the Hogwarts pipe system, a full fifty feet long. Hey, I can see its eyes.”
As Kara was speaking, Hibiscus was so frightened that she turned pale and quickly covered Kara's eyes.
"It's no use. My eyes can see through anything, and the basilisk's magic has no effect on me. This is a blessing from my father!"
Kara gently brushed Hibiscus's hand away and said proudly.
Mera then spoke up: "Dad, remember you can petrify too? Who has a stronger petrification ability, yours or itss?"
Aaron raised an eyebrow. "Why don't you try and see?"
Chapter 373 I've Actually Become an Old Relic? Saving Ginny
"Everyone, keep your distance and don't come any closer!"
Dumbledore and McGonagall calmly maintained order at the scene.
Snape and Herbalist Professor Pomona were crouching on the ground, observing Mrs. Lorris, who was frozen stiff from petrification.
"Damn it, who killed my cat?"
"It must be some naughty student, yes, that must be it!"
"For example, it could be you! And you too! It could also be you!"
Filch pointed at Harry, Ron, and the others who had just surrounded them, his face twisted and contorted with rage.
"You guys always like to wander around outside at night. You must be jealous of how well I and poor Mrs. Lorris are doing to maintain order at night, so you killed my cat!"
"I should have known, I was going to kill you!"
Harry was so frightened by Filch's hideous and ugly face that he shook his head repeatedly, "No, it wasn't me."
"I didn't touch Mrs. Lorris at all. I just came over..."
Ron wanted to say it was him, but seeing Dumbledore and the others there, he shook his head repeatedly, "I don't know either."
Filch was about to accuse the other wizards when Dumbledore's voice suddenly rose, uttering in an unquestionable tone:
"Argus, please calm down!"
After examining it, Pomona confirmed, "Lady Loris is not dead; she has simply been petrified. I have a way to cure her."
Snape nodded. "The problem isn't difficult to solve. We just need to make an antidote using cultivated mandrake grass to remove this level of petrification."
Upon hearing this, Dumbledore looked at Pomona: "Ms. Sprout, how long will it take to bring Mrs. Lorris back to health?"
Pomona stood up and replied, "The latest batch of mandrake is still being cultivated and will take about another month. During this time, you just need to bring Lady Loris to my place and take good care of her. I will prepare an antidote for her as soon as possible."
"Did you hear that, Mr. Argus? Your cat is fine, it just needs a little time. Please be patient."
