Chapter 106 Powerful Blasting
Time passed little by little.
In the prefect's bathroom, everyone was waiting anxiously—Penello would look at her watch every once in a while, and found that less than half a minute had passed.
Fred's right hand clenched his left wrist very hard, as if he didn't realize that some of the tips of his nails were already embedded in the skin of his wrist.
"Honestly, when you came to us and said you needed help catching the basilisk, I thought you were joking."
Fred said slowly, and even now he finds it a little incredulous.Fourth grade little wizard, Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets, Basilisk, Catch.
Merlin didn't even know how these words could be connected in such a strange way to become a sentence, or even a story.
Thinking of this, his strength became stronger.
"Hey!"
George slapped Fred's hand away from him.
"Why don't you grab your own hand!"
He glared at Fred.
"Of course it will hurt me!"
After Fred finished speaking, he smiled and avoided the angry George stretching out to kick his leg, and ran a little farther.
"Yeah, every time I thought I'd gotten used to his novel idea, he'd find a way to blow my mind with a new crazy idea, and then prove that it not only works, it works."
Penello raised his eyebrows nicely.
"So you're really not Merlin's illegitimate son?"
Jimmy confirmed it several times.
Ever since William joked with him that time, this idea has been entangled in Jimmy's mind and can't get rid of it.
"I'm really not Merlin's illegitimate child. Even if you add 50 Galleons, it's impossible. Moreover, if Merlin's magic is really today, it may not be comparable to Professor Dumbledore."
William replied somewhat helplessly.
For historical figures, many people will look at them with a strange emotional filter, but history is a process that is constantly moving forward.
Many magics are lost, often not because they are secrets, but because these magics are not very easy to use, or there are simpler, more direct, and more effective alternatives.
Like the plumbing at Hogwarts.
Whether it was in the era of the Big Four, or the era of Merlin and King Arthur hundreds of years earlier, they probably dealt with domestic sewage by opening the windows and pouring it down.
"Could this be the reason wizards invented the Vanishing Curse in the first place? Is it because the wizard robes they wear are too long and will drag to the ground?"
William suddenly thought of a somewhat absurd idea.
"I really want to know what the descendant of Slytherin will look like when he sees his basilisk being captured by us and the Chamber of Secrets being made public."
Fred took up the topic.
He had already circled the bathroom, but was still chased by George, who grabbed his hair hard.
"It's a pity we don't know who he is yet."
George sat back in his chair and straightened his robes.
But his words reminded William.
"It seems that we can really force Voldemort to show his vest by opening the chamber of secrets."
He carefully considered this plan.
Although there are still many details to consider, this can indeed be used as a good bait.
The house elf Lalo suddenly appeared in the prefect's bathroom. He bowed respectfully and said, "Mr. Buffalo, Mr. Potter said he heard snoring again."
William checked his watch.
"19 minutes, earlier than I expected, but the basilisk is starving, and the amount of potion ingested is already large, which is reasonable."
He decided to start the next step.
"Let's go guys, it's time for us to meet up with Harry and the others and prepare to officially enter the Chamber of Secrets."
William clapped his hands and said.
They came out of the prefect's bathroom, cast illusion spells on each other, and walked underground to the castle—in a utility room in the corner, William found Harry, who had been waiting here for a long time, Ron , Hermione, and Professor Dumbledore as the fuse.
"It seems that your plan is going well."
Dumbledore nodded slightly to William.
"So far so good."
William answered Dumbledore.
They came out of the small utility room together, and Harry and the others secretly took a big breath - the fact that they were in the same room as the principal obviously put a lot of pressure on them.
Everyone gave way to the corridor.
"Silencio! (Silencio)"
William drew a circle with his wand and called out the spell.
Because the next steps might be a bit loud, he had to be as careful as possible so that he wouldn't be noticed by other students in the castle.
"Are you going to start?"
Fred and George are already eager to try.
All of them raised their wands and pointed to the wall at the end of the corridor, "3, 2, 1"
"Bombarda Maxima!
(Powerful blasting)"
Together they shouted the curse loudly.
Several bright red lights flashed!
Accompanied by a loud bang that only those present could hear, the ground shook violently.The solid stone wall was instantly blown away by the curse, revealing a deep passage hidden behind it, revealing a huge gap.
There is no road in the world, but as long as the equivalent of preparation is large enough, a thoroughfare can be opened.
At the beginning of the designated plan, William had considered going down the passage in the old girls' bathroom on the second floor, like a normal Slytherin heir.
But he soon realized a problem.
William didn't know where the secret passage was located—the secret room connected by the secret passage was a large area on the drawing that didn't indicate the specific layout.
The worst situation is that they just saw the big eyes of the basilisk, and they fell into a box on the spot.
But there is no possibility of restarting a game in life.
At least for now, William is not sure that he can do it.
The smoke and dust from the blasting curse slowly settled.
"That's pretty cool! Actually when you said we had a chance to blow up the castle, we decided we'd do anything to help you!"
Fred exclaimed excitedly.
"Cough, cough, Mr. Weasley, please at least consider discussing this kind of thing in a quieter voice when I'm in front of you."
Dumbledore coughed softly, interrupting his speech.
"Sorry, Professor Dumbledore."
Fred's eyes were a little wandering, and George pinched him hard, but William dared to bet that it was not because they felt guilty and remorseful, but because Fred shouldn't have revealed his intentions so early!
"As we planned, I, Penelope, Jimmy, go in front, Fred, George, you two take care of the two sides. Harry, Ron, Hermione, you stand in the middle. Please Deng Professor Bullido, you hold the back position for us."
William repeated the plan he had been emphasizing for the past few days. Even if everything was done as perfectly as possible, he still didn't want any mistakes.
"Harry, your mission is the most important. Only you among us can hear the voice of the basilisk, so you must always tell us the state of the basilisk."
He looked at Harry until he saw Harry nod with a serious expression, "Leave it to me, I will definitely do it".
Harry promised.
"Hermione, you need to help Harry cast the Amplifying Charm."
William looked at Hermione, who bit her lip with a nervous expression, but nodded resolutely.
"Ron, we'll leave our lighting to you."
"no problem!"
Ron nodded excitedly.
He didn't expect that in his first year at Hogwarts, he would be able to participate in such an exaggerated project of catching basilisks.
"Then let's go!"
William looked around at everyone one last time.
The house elf Lalo has brought over the bucket of water prepared in advance, William, Penello, Jimmy, Fred and George all stretched out their wands, "Verto (change)".
The clear water was turned into a stone slab as wide as two or three fingers, and they were controlled by the floating spell to hang in mid-air, connecting them together, and protecting everyone's bodies behind them.
This is William's "tank".
They walked into the darkness.
Even though the water has not been drained for a few days, there is still some residual water on the ground here, and some puddles are as deep as ankles.
The deadly eyes of the basilisk cannot penetrate the slate, and it will take a while for the poison to penetrate such a thick slate—as long as there is a short buffer time, William and the others can take action according to the emergency plan.
"Lumos Solem. (Sunlight as day)"
Ron raised his wand to provide steady lighting for the people in the "tank", Harry squinted his eyes, "this way", and after a moment he pointed in a direction.
Following the direction Harry pointed out, William and the others proceeded carefully - the piping system underground at Hogwarts was intricate and spacious, reminding him of the sewer system in London.
In the darkness, no one spoke, and the sound of panting between each other, and even the sound of heartbeat became clearly audible.William could feel that Penello, who was walking on his right, quietly grabbed his robe with his left hand.
At short intervals, William would raise his wand and whisper the incantation, "Basilisk Aparecium (Appearance of the Basilisk)," and not proceed until he was sure that there was no basilisk at the far end of the spell.
Standing at the end of the line, Dumbledore watched the scene silently - he remembered the discussion William had with him in his office that afternoon.
"Why don't you rely on me more?
You know, even taking out a 1000-year-old basilisk isn't really that difficult for me if I'm well prepared. "
Dumbledore asked suspiciously.
At first, he thought that William took the initiative to take over this matter in order to get as much help from himself as possible, but William did not use him, the strongest white wizard in the world, in the whole plan.
It's as if his role is really just "emergency".
"Professor Dumbledore, of course I can rely more on you to solve this basilisk - but in that case, wouldn't the nature of this matter change?"
William's answer was beyond his expectation.
