Harry Potter's Bastard

Solim had been in the lab for three days, and it had been a mess outside.

The news of Voldemort's attack on Hogwarts with his various dark creatures and Death Eaters has spread throughout Europe, and the wizarding world throughout Europe has been shocked. Such large-scale attacks on schools go back centuries. Something serious like this has happened, and whether the British Ministry of Magic likes it or not, the intervention of the International Federation of Wizards is a foregone conclusion.

The Death Eaters' blockade of news within the Ministry of Magic was pretty good until the day after Voldemort retreated. The Daily Prophet reported on the same day with almost all the pages of the newspaper — almost all the pages, and everything else was squeezed to the last page.

Giants, Trolls, Centaurs, Eight-Eyed Spiders, Dementors, Dark Wizards, Death Eaters...... Voldemort had gathered such a terrifying force to attack Hogwarts that some parents fainted as soon as they heard the news - according to normal people's thinking, Dumbledore would not be able to stop such a large number of enemies.

However, when the casualty report of the Daily Prophet came out, everyone was shocked to find that after the whole night of fighting, many people were injured, but only two Aurors who went to support were actually killed.

This is a terrible situation, Dumbledore's already very high prestige immediately broke through again, and a large number of wizards rushed to appeal, hoping that he could take over the position of Minister of Magic to rectify the current rotten situation in the British wizarding world.

Fudge's worries are actually not unreasonable, look at Dumbledore's prestige, look at these wizards who support him, which Minister of Magic would not be frightened?

Dumbledore could become a minister if he wanted to—the kind of fact that was too cruel for a man who had done everything he could to get to power.

As the honorary head of the International Confederation of Wizards, Dumbledore did not attend the meeting, did not respond to inquiries from the Ministry of Magic, and ignored the personal interviews of the editor-in-chief of the Daily Prophet...... In fact, it took a little calming down to realize that Dumbledore didn't seem to have been seen since that night.

However, tracking reports will not stop, and the Daily Prophet has already published three issues in the past three days, that is, two newspapers a day, and the demand is still outstripping, and the whole of Europe is now subscribing to the Daily Prophet, because they are the only ones who can enter Hogwarts for interviews.

With two newspapers a day, almost all of which were devoted to Hogwarts, something gradually became known.

For example, a near-invincible serpent blocked countless giants, centaurs, trolls, and dark wizards in front of the main entrance to Hogwarts, and the newspaper also accompanied a picture of the event, which was littered with corpses lying in the ruins: giants, trolls, and ...... Some of the corpses had huge open wounds, even for the giants, which Basque had whipped with their tails, and still others were dead bodies without the slightest trauma – the unlucky ones who saw Basque's eyes.

There are already smart people who have thought of the basilisk, but since there are no sighting photos of the basilisk, this is just a rumor. But for some truly powerful wizarding families, the appearance of the basilisk at Hogwarts that night was already a definite fact.

In addition to the basilisk, there is a flurry of exciting news: the infamous Death Eater: Fenrir. Greyback, Antonin. Dolokhov, Lestrange brothers, Carlo siblings...... There were quite a few Death Eaters who had been confirmed dead, and there were only two or three kittens left of those who had escaped from Azkaban - which was definitely great news.

For the general public, these Death Eaters are almost as terrifying as Voldemort, without these notorious Death Eaters, the wizarding world would be much safer, and for the Aurors, the absence of these Death Eaters who have always been against them will make their jobs much easier, and probably the only thing that will be uncomfortable is Voldemort......

Although many students were injured, severed, and attacked by Dementors...... But the fact that none of the students died was the most exciting, at least for the parents, and the news was indeed their primary concern. Hogwarts is the safest place in the wizarding world, and this time it's a real place.

————————————————————————————————

It stands to reason that even if something big happens at Hogwarts, it is still a matter for the ordinary wizarding world, and at most it is enough for the International Confederation of Wizards to come forward to coordinate, and it will not involve top families like Selwyn at all, but these top wizarding families are all paying attention to Hogwarts at this time, or more accurately - they are paying attention to the Basilisk matter.

Millennial basilisk, this creature estimates that the whole world is just that. Alchemists and potions masters will be eager to control the basilisk, and whoever can control the basilisk will be able to recruit masters in alchemy and potions, thereby further deepening their family's influence and expanding the interests of related fields.

It's not that no one cultivates a basilisk, and the cultivation method of a basilisk is clear to the entire wizarding world. But it takes a lot of time to settle before this kind of thing grows to have enough combat power or enough value in materials. This is not a matter of more than ten years or decades, or even one or two hundred years, and now, there is a thousand-year-old basilisk, and the scales of the thousand-year-old basilisk do not need to be considered, and the anti-demon ability is definitely second to none.

If nothing else, if you have enough scales, making a vest or robe will give you an absolute advantage when facing magic such as the Requirger's Charm - the scales of the Millennium Basilisk are absolutely protective against the Reaper Charm, and this does not even need to be verified.

How many scales does a thousand-year-old basilisk provide? Even if you count the underwear, even if you count the winter attire, using basilisk scales inside and out to arm most of the members of a family is more than enough.

Of course, it's not impossible to do things like killing chickens and taking eggs, but it depends on the object. A creature of the level of a thousand-year-old basilisk, let alone killing it to obtain a large amount of materials, if necessary, the family that owns it will even pay a lot of lives and costs to protect it.

In a word, the millennial basilisk is a treasure that any wizarding family would want to obtain. So the question is: whose basilisk is it? Is it Hogwarts? Indeed, Slytherin did raise a basilisk at one time, and it took about the same amount of time, so many wizards began to try to contact Dumbledore in the hope of making some deal. But well...... No one can contact the Headmaster of Hogwarts now.

But for some of those who really got the news, the name Solim was once again pushed to the forefront.

At the Selwyn base camp on the island of Neasto, a meeting was held for this purpose—a meeting chaired by Cadmus himself.
