Raven's Claw at Hogwarts

Chapter 108 Operation Snake Elimination (Fourth Change)

After the middle-aged man called the captain gave the order, the Aurors in the temporary command room went to their respective posts to make preparations. Only a few professors and the middle-aged man were left in the command room. man.

Seeing that there were many fewer people inside, Abt took Mike into the command room and proposed to their captain, the middle-aged man named Dyna, and Professor Flitwick to let Mike join the operation. ask.

Regarding this matter, Professor Flitwick, who knew the purpose of Abt's visit to Hogwarts this time, of course agreed, and what surprised Mike was that the very serious Captain Dyna didn't care about it. He hesitated and agreed.

It seems that Captain Dyna, who has the same name as a superhero in a certain island country, is not willing to offend Abt, the son of his immediate boss.

But during the conversation, Mike found that Dyna's attitude towards Abt was very strange. It didn't seem like he wanted to deliberately curry favor, but more like his attitude towards his younger generation.

In the end, Captain Dyna also arranged for Mike and Abbott to search the pipes under the girls' bathroom on the second floor with a team of senior Aurors.

Mike's head was about to explode when he heard the news. You must know that the entrance to the secret room is there.If he waits for someone to search that area, it is very likely that he will find the secret room and confront the basilisk.

"Uh, can you change the place? It's always not good for us to go in the girls' bathroom." Mike lied.

As soon as Mike's words came out of the command room, everyone burst into laughter. Everyone really didn't expect that Mike would still care about such details at this time.

"You're so funny, Mike. You must be joking, right?" Abbott seemed to be a little embarrassed, reached out his hand to hook Mike's shoulder, and led him towards the door, "Okay, the time is not up. It's early, let's go."

After walking out of the command room, Abt whispered to Mike: "Mike, don't worry, Uncle Dyna is my father's good brother, and he also watched me grow up. The place he arranged for us is definitely the safest .”

Mike curled his lips, thinking that this time it might be another tough battle. You must know that your strong luck cheat was very active a while ago, and you may even be suspected of overusing it.According to the concept of conservation of luck, this operation may be quite dangerous.

But the matter has come to this point, Mike had no choice but to nod and perfunctory Abbott, and at the same time quietly entered the closed state of the brain.

It is better to ask for others than to ask for yourself. Instead of putting hope on the so-called senior Aurors who acted with them, Mike is more willing to believe in himself.

The two made it to the girls' bathroom on the second floor. The Aurors had already arrived, and even the preliminary work had been done.

I saw that the girls' bathroom was already a mess, and an Auror was dealing with the ghost in the bathroom, Moaning Myrtle.The ghost was very displeased with so many men breaking into the girls' bathroom, and was spitting at the Auror.The washbasin as the entrance to the secret room has long since disappeared, replaced by a bottomless hole.

Those Aurors obviously knew Abbott, and they all came to say hello when they saw the two coming.

Abbott is worthy of being the son of a high-ranking official of the Ministry of Magic. He has the demeanor of his father, and the tense atmosphere at the scene was relieved by talking and laughing.

Mike, on the other hand, didn't join their conversation, and directly started his magic perception to feel the situation in the cave.

Although he knew that the slide at the entrance of the secret room was very long, Mike was still frightened after actually sensing it.With his current magic perception strength, he didn't even perceive the end of the passage.

"Okay, it's getting late, I'll go down quickly." An Auror said, "Abt, you and your friends should stay in the middle of the team."

Faced with the Auror's arrangement, Mike had no objection, just nodded expressionlessly and walked into the team.He knew that the Auror had treated them preferentially, and the middle of the team was usually the safest.Since you want to take credit for it, you have to do something practical. If you want to sit in the office with your legs crossed and earn credit for it, that's a dream.

A group of people used the floating spell to enter the pipeline extending diagonally downward in an orderly manner. As soon as they entered the pipeline, the brooches on the chests of the Aurors emitted a bright but not dazzling light, illuminating the pipeline near them like daylight , The brooches at the top of the row even emitted a beam of light similar to a strong flashlight, illuminating the road ahead.

Light can bring courage to people. Of course, Mike, who is in a state of closed brain, has no such emotion as fear, but he is obviously relieved when he finds that Abbott's surroundings are brightened.

Mike couldn't help but secretly smiled in his heart, saying that he was not afraid, absolutely safe.But when he really got here, he himself became afraid first.

After teasing Abbot in his heart, Mike withdrew his mind and concentrated on guarding the surrounding environment.Now that I am heading towards the lair of the basilisk, I must not be careless.

The inside of this pipe is very humid, the walls of the pipe are covered with dark green moss, and the air is filled with a stench.Looking at the moss around him, Mike felt a little relieved.

The moss here has no signs of being destroyed, which means that the basilisk has not been to this passage for a long time.If you encounter a basilisk in the passage, I am afraid that people like myself will be in danger, because the terrain here is too narrow.

I don't know how long it took, but everyone finally came to the end of the pipeline, and what appeared in front of them was a grotto with strange rocks.

An Auror touched the wet stone wall and said, "This may be a cave under the Black Lake. Be careful, we may have caught a big fish!"

Hearing the words, everyone responded one after another. The Aurors formed a triangular tactical formation and headed towards the depths of the grotto. Mike and Abbott were in the middle of the triangular formation, protected by the Aurors.

Every time the Aurors walked, they would throw a few glowing stones around. Under the illumination of these lighting stones, the entire grotto gradually brightened.

Although the surroundings were lit up, everyone still dared not show their atmosphere.Except for the occasional sound of water dripping from all around, the only sound I can hear is my own heartbeat.

"sand……"

Suddenly, a rustling sound appeared in the silent grotto, and everyone's hearts instantly rose to their throats.

Mike couldn't be more familiar with this voice, and hurriedly shouted: "It's a basilisk! Run away!"

The surrounding Aurors were taken aback by his sudden yell, but their excellent fighting qualities kept them from panicking. They quickly adjusted their formation and aligned an acute angle of the triangular formation at the direction from which the sound came. The bright light from the brooch has already hit the past.

The strong light illuminated the scene in front of him, and the Auror at the acute angle was stunned, and instinctively murmured:

"Merlin..."
