Seeing that Shane disappeared without saying a word, Dumbledore shook his head helplessly, sighed, and then put his hand on the stiff Hagrid and activated Disapparation... The darkness below the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets In the pond.

After Xia En teleported here, he immediately created several light balls that illuminated the entire Dark Pool Cave.

However, the scenery in front of him was exactly the same as the last time he came here for the first time. On the surface, nothing had changed, and he didn't find anything special.

So, Xia En activated [Perspective].

And the next second when his eyes were completely covered with white, Xia En suddenly discovered that there was a huge annular space in the entire cave wall of Antan, which surrounded the entire cave.

Upon seeing this, he immediately flew forward and punched a cave wall open, causing earth and rocks to fly down.

Suddenly, a stench unique to snake-like creatures assaulted his nostrils.

Xia En held his nose and looked around, then looked at the dark pool water behind him that was as calm as a mirror.

He discovered that there was a gap connecting the annular space more than ten meters under the water.

Therefore, it is now basically certain that the second basilisk should have run out from here, and it is estimated that there should be a waterway leading directly to the Black Lake under the deeper water.

Hagrid probably encountered a basilisk in the Forbidden Forest, and then used the water of the Black Lake as a medium to see the basilisk's eyes, and was finally cursed with petrification.

This judgment was made because when he and Dumbledore discovered Hagrid, they found no traces of large animal activity around them.

So if it’s not available on land, it can only be found in the Black Lake!

Moreover, looking at some huge scales scattered on the ground, combined with the size of this circular space, this second basilisk is probably more than 10 times bigger than the one kept in the guild!

But I really didn't expect that Salazar Slytherin actually hid another basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets.

Shane narrowed his eyes.

He was thinking that if nothing unexpected happened, Luna would have an extra little pet by her side tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow at the latest.

So, after leaving the Dark Pool with the information about the second basilisk, Shane immediately came to the school hospital of Hogwarts.

I saw Hagrid, who had been petrified at this time, lying stiffly on the hospital bed, and not only Dumbledore was beside him, Professor Sprout and Snape were also here.

Just listen, Professor Sprout is saying with regret:

"Principal, I'm sorry! To be honest, Hagrid’s curse came at a very bad time!"

"To make a potion to lift the petrification curse, you need fresh mandrake. But the mandrake here was planted a few days ago. Generally speaking, it takes more than 3 months to grow to maturity."

"And now that it is winter, even if it is cultivated in a greenhouse, the growth rate of mandrake will be somewhat reduced! So unfortunately, our gamekeeper may not wake up until April next year"

"Is there any way to buy mature and fresh mandrake from outside?"Dumbledore thought for a while and then asked

"Basically impossible to buy."Professor Sprout shook his head regretfully,"Mandrake must grow in warm swamps, and the place with this growing condition now is in South America, but there is no mandrake there."

"That's really bad! Dumbledore frowned and looked at Snape aside,"Severus, is there anything you can do here?""

"There is one!"Snape replied expressionlessly,"Dora gave me a lot of basilisk venom before. I can use it to try to develop a potion that can lift the petrification curse without mandrake, but it doesn't work. Guaranteed success!"

"Very good, then it’s up to you!"Dumbledore nodded, and then he spotted Shane standing not far away, and asked curiously,"Shane, do you have any clues about coming back so soon?"

"have!"Xia En stepped forward,"There is indeed a basilisk in the dark pool below the secret room, and based on the size of the scales, it can whip out a mature fire dragon with one tail!"As he said that, he showed the snake scales he picked up in the compartment.

"Oh ~ this is not good news……"Dumbledore took the scale in Shane's hand and looked at it, his expression immediately changed, while Snape and Professor Sprout next to him also looked shocked.

Because the fire dragon is already the largest of all recorded magical creatures, if a fire dragon can be whipped out, you can imagine how big and powerful this basilisk is.

And the worst thing is that it is still wandering around Hogwarts. Who knows whether it will suddenly go crazy and attack the students in the castle.

So thinking of this, Dumbledore's pupils glowed with a dangerous light, and his hand unconsciously rubbed the Elder Wand gently. He wanted to find the basilisk now and kill it.

However, Shane also noticed something strange about Dumbledore, so he immediately said:"Professor, it's up to me to handle this basilisk. It is probably in the Black Lake. I will go and get rid of it tomorrow!" Joking! , such a big basilisk is a huge mobile vault. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

The basilisk in the guild now plus the income from the Forbidden Forest, although it is not insufficient, it is not rich at all.

The cost of daily operations of the guild, the cost of replenishing the alchemy dolls damaged during magic practice, and other development raw materials such as herbs, magic potions, and alchemy props, all cost money.

In addition, at the end of the school year, he also wanted to hold a big event in the school, so a basilisk fell from the sky, and the small money he had no capital would be in vain!

When Dumbledore heard Shane say that he was going to deal with the basilisk, he nodded without any hesitation, and then asked,"When are you going to take action?"

"At the end of lunch time tomorrow, I was woken up by Norbert in the middle of the night. I don't want to get up early in the morning!"[]

"Okay, then I will notify Minerva to ask the students to stay in the dormitory!"

"But apart from the problem of the basilisk, Professor, have you ever thought about who should replace Hagrid as the professor of Care of Magical Creatures?"Xia En suddenly asked a very important question,"There has been no one in the position of Professor of Defense Against Dark Arts in our school for several months. Do you want to stop one more course?"

"Oh~ you really reminded me of this!"Dumbledore scratched his head in embarrassment,"Professor Kettleburn has gone on a trip. To be honest, I can't find where he is, and he has just retired. I am embarrassed to ask him to come back."

"But it doesn’t matter. I thought of a person. Although he is relatively old, he should still be able to teach our little wizard.……"

Then, in the owl dormitory of Hogwarts, a poor little guy suddenly received a temporary overtime notice and flew south overnight.

It was also the day after Hagrid was attacked.

The north coast of the English Channel in southwest England, Dorset, is a very beautiful place.

Under the steep strait, huge waves surged into the sky, and sea flowers splashed everywhere.

The giant-like reef has been washed by the waves for a long time, gradually forming various soft caves that penetrate the giant cliff. Some are in the shape of arches, and some are the wonders of giant pillars formed after the collapse of arches.

Due to ancient geological activities, Dorset has completely preserved the remains of various stages of the Jurassic and rare specimens of marine reptiles and dinosaur fossils. This has made the coast here a world-famous paleontological research base.

And it was in this magical place that Newt Scamander and his wife settled here.

Newt Scamander, whose full name is Newton Artemis Fido Scamander, is a famous magizoologist and the author of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.

Because he was influenced by his mother's raising of hippogriffs when he was a child, Newt has had a strong interest in various magical creatures since he was a child.

He enrolled in Hufflepuff House, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in 1908, but was eventually expelled from the school for helping his friend Leta Lestrange cover up a crime.

With the help of Albus Dumbledore, he was expelled without any other punishment and was able to keep his wand.

(After being expelled from Hogwarts, Newt began to travel around the world, engaged in the protection of magical creatures.

It was not until 1918 that he was commissioned by August Wurm of Obscurus Books to write Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.

Later, during the First World Wizarding War, Newt assisted Dumbledore in defeating the international criminal Gellert Grindelwald. After that, he married Porpontina Goldstein, and they lived together in Dorset after retirement. Special County.

At this time, at Scamander's house, Newt was in his room concentrating on observing the bone fossils of some ancient creature with a magnifying glass, while recording something with a quill.

He is already 95 years old this year, but it can be seen that he has a spirit that is not suitable for his age.

"Newt!"Porpentina Esther Scamander, the wife, suddenly called her husband's name from outside the room, and then shouted,"Newt! An owl has brought a message, and it's for you! Hearing the sound ,

Newt slowly put down the magnifying glass, stood up with support on the table, then slowly walked to the door, twisted the handle, leaned out the door and asked:"Dear, help me see where the letter is sent." Come over bow."
