"Headmaster, we ..." Felix drew his wand.
Dumbledore did not answer, but instead fell into a deep silence, as if he is asleep.
"Headmaster Dumbledore!" Hermione anxiously stomped her feet.
Dumbledore pondered for a few seconds, he waved his wand and a Disillusionment Charm is placed over them.
Felix then heard the conversation between Dumbledore and Snape.
"I don't understand, Dumbledore ..."
"What, Severus?"
"The boy ... Harry Potter, he's dying!"
"I'm here," Dumbledore said shortly.
The conversation ended there, but Felix couldn't help but get caught up in his thoughts -
Did Dumbledore want to train Potter as a successor? Between life and death to inspire a person's courage and potential, not to mention this old man is standing on the sidelines at the moment, in control of the situation.
Or maybe ...
He suddenly remembered the conversation he had with Dumbledore when Potter's parseltongue was exposed. Headmaster said he still needed to confirm something, what could that be?
They approached the battlefield silently, and as they got closer, Felix noticed large, broken ice crystals in the empty space, and a dozen palm-sized, bloodstained black scales stuck on half of the collapsed ice wall.
It seems that Harry is not powerless to fight back.
The four of them came near a stone pillar wrapped around a snake in front of the clearing and lifted, part of the effect of the Disillusionment Charm - which allowed them to see each other's positions.
"Professor!" Hermione tugged on his sleeve, and behind the stone pillar, a small wizard is lying on the ground, and next to him was a small, palm-sized bird.
It is Ron and Fawkes.
"Headmaster, Ron has been spotted."
Dumbledore glanced at the field, "Severus ..."
"I'm keeping an eye on him," Snape said without looking back, his gaze still firmly fixed on Harry's body with a very resistant expression.
Dumbledore and Felix crouched in front of Ron, his clothes covered in dust and scratches, but his body is unscathed.
A small phoenix on the side gave a low chirp, seemingly seeking credit.
"Thank you, Fawkes," Dumbledore said to it with satisfaction.
"Professor, Ron he ..." Hermione looked at Ron worriedly.
"He's fine," Felix said, tapping the ring on his left hand with his wand, a potion flew out, and he gave Ron a hard dose.
Ron's eyebrows knitted up.
In the empty space, the battle that belonged to Harry continued -
He hid behind a boulder, waving his wand, the palm-sized golem volleyed out a cold air mixed with ice crystals, the blind basilisk simply can not find "her", it could only attack the whole field, again and again, the snake's tail still remains on the dotted white frost.
Harry agilely dodged a human-size stone, the boulder in front of him was smashed into pieces. He hurriedly jogged away, but the sound of footsteps attracted the snake monster's attention, and the next second, the thick tail whipped over.
Harry immediately commanded the golem to block in front of him, " thumb thumb thumb!" A prism of ice appeared out of thin air.
The huge black snake tail smashed down on its head, and after a tooth-aching crushing sound, the icicle and the golem both broke apart on the ground.
And Harry took this opportunity to run away on tiptoe.
The three professors hiding in the shadows lowered their wands at the same time, and Felix couldn't help but glance at the puddle of golem fragments on the ground in pain, just like that?
...
"Professor, I want to help Harry!" Hermione said.
Felix was silent for a moment, "You've thought about it?"
"Yes."
Felix lifted Hermione's disillusionment charm while taking a beaded pouch out of the ring and handing it to her. "It is going to be your Christmas present, so I'll give it to you in advance - I don't need to tell you how to use it, right?"
"No, thank you, Professor!" Hermione said cheerfully.
She isn't worried about Harry's safety, with the two professors and the Headmaster around, how could he die, but she didn't want to see Harry fighting the basilisk all alone.
They are best friends!
Hermione carefully hid in the shadows, then she walked forward as lightly as possible.
On the field, Harry struggled to dodge the basilisk's tail, and flying around debris, the loss of the golem's help, he suddenly fell into an absolute disadvantage.
Harry mouth hissed: " calm down!"
But the basilisk had already gone mad, and the fact that it is blind almost foretells its death - either by killing or by starvation. What's more, the fact that they had broken into the secret room.
"Kill ... kill ..." the snake monster made a "hissing" sound, and followed the sound of a tail flung at Harry, and The tail came over.
"Whoosh!"
The sharp whistling sound cut through the air, an emerald green wrist-thick vine climbed the basilisk's tail, forcibly halting its attack.
Harry showed a disbelieving expression.
"Hermione!?"
The little witch wrapped the other end of the devil's snare around the stone pillar, using it to counter the basilisk's terrifying power. "Harry, run!"
Harry couldn't think why Hermione appeared here, he quickly ran away, tripping midway, to the Sorting Hat, the big silver bird brought to him!
Just a few moments ago, the basilisk found him as an intruder, decided to kill him and Ron, at that time, regardless of parseltongue it attacked him while saying "master's orders" is everything.
At the critical moment, a large silver bird suddenly appeared, not only pecking the basilisk's eyes but also after a brief disappearance, brought him the Sorting Hat.
He didn't know quite sure why, but he is sure it would be useful for the situation at hand.
He picked up the tattered hat and put it on its head, muttering in a low voice, "Whatever comes, please help me."
No voice answered him, but the hat pressed tighter and tighter, as if an unseen hand desperately grasping the Sorting Hat on his head.
Jang!
Something heavy and hard landed on top of Harry's head, nearly knocking him unconscious. Harry found that it is a shiny silver sword, the hilt of the sword set with brilliant egg-sized rubies.
Not far away, Felix's eyes were frozen, that is ... Gryffindor sword?
Hogwarts the symbol of courage and trust, one of the four giants Gryffindor's sword?
He turned his head and stared dead at Dumbledore, is this what you want to confirm?
Dumbledore did not pay attention to his gaze, his eyes passed through the half-moon glasses, fell on the basilisk, his lips opened and closed silently.
This made Felix vaguely feel a hint of discomfort, it's a very eerie feeling. In his vision, the basilisk, Harry, and Hermione three's magic are very conspicuous, but there seems to be something more on the field.
Under the disillusionment charm, he curled his fingers and gently touched his brow, and in a flash, the colours of everything in sight were melting and fading.
Only black, white, and grey remained.
Felix looked ahead at the battlefield, under his calm face, there is surging waves of shock.
In his field of vision, three steps to the left, a huge source of magic blazed like a dazzling sun, it is Dumbledore. From his feet, the magic spread out a line, the other end of the line connected to the ground below the basilisk.
There is a huge concentration of magical fluctuations, in his unique perspective, the ground like a wave of water, a wave of ups and downs.
What is this?
Dumbledore had struck, when did he do it?
It seemed to be some kind of transfiguration, but he had never seen such an outrageous transfiguration ...
It turned out that, without his knowledge, Dumbledore had put the basilisk into a cage.
At the moment, Felix does not care about the battle on the field at all, there is no need, the basilisk is a large tool. Perhaps its only value is to cooperate with Harry to play a scene so that Dumbledore could see something.
