Chapter 271 The Hero's Fate

After Vader learned Dumbledore's version of the Slowing Charm, he used it from time to time to slow down the basilisk.

Compared with the basilisk, his magic power was very weak and could only play a little role in restraining it.

But even if it could only delay it for 0.1 seconds, it would still work as long as it was used at a critical moment.

The students didn't know that there was another helper here -

When they entered the Chamber of Secrets, Vader and Dumbledore used the Disillusionment Charm to enter the invisible state.

Dozens of students surrounded the basilisk, and they were panicked at first. Seven or eight people were seriously injured and sent away by the professor.

But gradually, the bravest part stood in front and formed a defense, and the rest of the students gradually recovered their status, at least they were not scared to throw away their wands and run away.

Then, the people who ran away at the beginning also came back with red faces.

Gryffindor, Slytherin, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw...

The students of the four colleges mixed together, cooperating without distinction, and fought a "life-and-death battle" with the basilisk.

When they cast spells, they didn't care whether the basilisk was attacking an enemy or a friend; when they reached out to pull up the fallen classmates, they didn't care which school's clothes the other party was wearing.

They only wanted to defeat the terrible "enemy" in front of them.

For wizards, mentality also greatly affects the effect of their magic.

For a moment, many students actually formed a situation of equal strength with the huge basilisk.

Looking at this picture that looked like a group of ants fighting earthworms, Wade couldn't help but wonder-how did Harry, who was alone, defeat such a behemoth?

Of course, it may also be because Harry used a sword, and the students were all using magic at this time... The "magic resistance" of the basilisk is indeed very high, and most of the spells falling on its scales are like tickling.

But Wade prefers to believe that at that time Dumbledore was just like now, hiding and guarding beside, secretly using magic to restrain the monster, and watching with relief as the young savior pierced the upper jaw of the basilisk with the Gryffindor sword.

Thinking of this, he turned to look at the headmaster, only to find that Dumbledore was also looking at him, with tears in his eyes, as if he was very moved.

Wade was startled: "... Professor Dumbledore?"

"That's great, isn't it?"

The headmaster's eyes were very gentle, and he smiled gently and said: "It's a wonderful feeling to see the children abandon their previous opposition, help each other, and fight the enemy together... It makes people feel that their hearts are full of warmth and hope."

"Well... It seems to be true..." Wade said slowly: "But why are you looking at me? I'm not in that group of people."

"But this scene appeared because of you."

Dumbledore looked at the fighting children, his eyes were deep and gentle, as if he saw the future a long time later.

"The dispute between the Hogwarts schools has lasted for more than a thousand years since its establishment... Even during the war, I have never seen them so united."

"But this unity is only temporary... It's just because they have encountered an enemy that they have to join forces to deal with."

Wade calmly poured cold water: "After this challenge is over, the opposition will still be opposition."

"But they have fought side by side..." Dumbledore said optimistically: "Even if this experience is only once, it will leave a mark on the soul."

Wade thought: How many times has Peter Pedillo fought side by side with James Potter? Isn't he still ruthless when he wants to betray?

But then he thought that people like Peter Pedillo are rare, and we can't generalize.

Suddenly, the big snake let out a painful roar, its tail was still twitching violently, and its upper body had already hit the ground heavily.

At this time, the snake had countless wounds of various sizes, but only two were fatal.

Neville Longbottom actually brought the sword that Wade gave him, and he stabbed the sword deeply into the basilisk's neck from below.

One of the basilisk's fangs was broken by a cutting curse, and Harry actually held the fang and flew on a broomstick to the top of the basilisk's head, then swooped down in the right direction and inserted the fang directly into the basilisk's bloody eye socket!

Everyone was stunned by their feat.

Wade was also surprised.

When many senior students did not retreat and avoid, but fought bravely, it was still Harry and Neville who ended the battle...

For a moment, he seemed to feel a kind of power called destiny.

It seemed that some people...they were destined to be heroes.

Neville was covered in black snake blood. After the basilisk fell, he seemed to be unable to believe what he had done. He supported his knees with both hands and gasped for breath.

A muffled "bang" sound came from the side.

"Harry——"

Hermione screamed and ran over. George, who was closest, had already caught him and prevented him from falling to the ground.

He put Harry on the ground and saw that his face was black and there were several wounds on his arms caused by snake fangs.

"Harry is poisoned!" George shouted loudly: "Who has the antidote?"

Michael, who was watching the basilisk with his mouth wide open, immediately took out a small bottle from his pocket and ran over with it held high, shouting: "I have it, I have it! I have the antidote!"

Everyone didn't think much about it and hurriedly made way. Michael knelt beside him, uncorked the bottle, and poured the antidote into Harry's mouth.

The potion took effect very quickly. It seemed that in just a few seconds, the blue-black color caused by the poison faded from the boy's face, and the blood flowing from the wound turned into normal red.

"I'm fine... I'm fine..."

Harry felt as if he was being strangled by several people and hugged tightly. He mumbled and pushed away the people who were holding him.

When he opened his eyes, he saw George, Hermione, and Michael next to him, and Neville and others who were nervous by his legs.

"This antidote is really powerful!" Robert, the head of Ravenclaw, stood beside him. Seeing this, he patted Michael's shoulder and asked with interest: "Michael, how did you get it?"

"Uh..."

Michael quickly glanced at Professor Snape, who was expressionless at the entrance of the Chamber of Secrets.

Before coming, Professor Snape stuffed a bottle into each of the students who performed well in the potion class (especially Slytherin and Ravenclaw), saying that they might need it.

This potion is extremely precious, with only one mouthful of each bottle, and there are only a few bottles.

Of course, the professor's private care could not be told to others.

While Michael was hesitating, Robert had already found an explanation.

"It was given to you by Wade, right? You two have always had a good relationship... I also heard that the guy was the designer of this challenge..."

Robert stood up and looked around: "Why didn't he come?"

"Because if the referee also left the game, it would be too unfair to the participants."

A voice sounded from the side.
