The mouth of the statue at the bottom of the cave opened and the basilisk came out.
It was small as I had theorized and seen from the skins. He measured six meters long and almost one meter wide, a somewhat compact opponent, but possessing incredible strength.
With what I had left of my soul energy I started to observe what was around me, I could only cover a few centimeters, but that was what I could do at the moment.
With the help of my other senses I managed to determine the basilisk's angle of attack and jumped to the side in time to escape while pushing Weasley away.
I wasn't so lucky with the next attack, as I was dodging the basilisk's tail hit my left shoulder, turning my bones into crumbs.
I flew meters into the air before landing on the wet floor of the Chamber.
I gritted my teeth and stood up.
The next attack tried to repeat the pattern, but I wouldn't fall for that cheap move anymore.
Still, I fell and rolled across the floor of the chamber enough times that my entire body was covered in injuries.
I was already running out of energy when I heard a bird chirping.
In front of me the basilisk went into a frenzy.
The bird had attacked the basilisk.
"You big chicken, what did you do?!" – shouted Mini Vold.
Taking a risk, I opened my eyes to see what had happened.
The basilisk writhed on the ground having its two eyes destroyed, the bird was flying over the chamber, Mini Vold was huffing with anger, Ronald had somehow reached Ginerva and was hugging her body at that moment.
I took a deep breath, the worst was over.
SSssSSsssSS… started to sound again.
"Kill him and then this bloodtraitor! HAHAHAHA. Do you think you'll escape just because she lost her eyes? Basilisk venom is still one of the most powerful in the world!" – shouted Teen Morty.
The basilisk stopped twitching and obeyed its master.
The snake started looking for me, but I was safe as long as I was quiet.
I controlled my breathing and didn't care about the pain I was feeling.
At that moment everything went wrong because of a brainless person.
"You have to do something, Ginny is completely freezing!" – shouted Ronald holding his sister.
The sound of his voice was enough for the basilisk to have a point of reference and charged towards him.
My spine froze at Weasley's stupid action.
Without thinking too much, I brandished my wand, transmuting the ground in front of him, even with the reinforcement enchantments, I managed to create a stone spear on the path that stood between them and the basilisk.
The basilisk opened its mouth to grab him, but with the stone spear in the way it ended up impaled on the roof of its mouth.
The basilisk died almost instantly as I fell to the ground, depleting my magical reserves.
"AAAAH!" – shouted the scared boy.
"NO!" – shouted the fragment of the Dark Lord.
A few seconds of silence followed until I gathered enough strength to speak.
"Take out one of the basilisk's teeth and stab the diary, basilisk venom corrodes the soul." – I said to Weasley.
He hesitated for a few moments until he walked over to the basilisk.
After a lot of effort he managed to remove one of the teeth and with shaking hands he went to the diary.
When the basilisk's tooth penetrated the cover of the diary it began to bleed black ink.
"NOOOOOO!" – cried Little Cuntmorty once again.
The apparition faded away and we could visibly see Ginerva suck in a large amount of air.
The bird flew across the chamber again and landed next to the girl.
"That's the Headmaster's phoenix." – commented Ronald.
Phoenix... it was an insult to call it a phoenix, it was probably the Fiery Bird at most, the slightest trace of a real phoenix's bloodline made them believe he was one.
Ronald took his sister in his arms and the bird landed on her shoulder and lifted him up using his clothes.
It was as if the bird wanted to tell us what the plan was for us to get out of here.
I got up from the floor and put away my wand.
I went over to them and grabbed one of their legs with my hand.
"I refuse to be weighed down by clothes." – I said, hiding my pain and tiredness.
The bird chirped in protest, but seeing that I wasn't going to change my mind, it took off carrying us.
Arriving at the entrance tunnel, Ronald had to change the way he carried Ginerva so that she didn't end up hitting the walls, but we were soon outside the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets.
As soon as we arrived in the bathroom I let go of the bird's paw while he took the brothers to the infirmary.
I started to make my way to the Slytherin common room when I was stopped by the Headmaster.
"Wouldn't it be better for you to visit the infirmary, Mr. Mao?" – he asked, looking curiously at me.
I looked at him knowing that he had been in control of the entire situation.
"If I'm admitted to the Infirmary, they'll end up sending me to St. Mungo's, I'd rather deal with it my way." – I said without showing my intentions.
The Headmaster seemed to ponder my words for a few moments.
"I hope you know what you are doing, Mr Mao." – he declared, heading towards the infirmary.
He's one of the types of people I hate the most.
Knows everything, but doesn't do shit.
When I entered the common room, several looks were directed at me.
It wasn't every day that someone arrived here all dirty and covered in their own blood.
If the Headmaster hadn't created rules against bullying this would probably be a common scene, since basically all the Deatheaters were from Slytherin.
As I walked towards my room Bridget emerged from the girls' dorm.
Seeing me in that state, she ran to me.
"What happened?" – she asked worriedly.
"If you really want to know, I'll tell you in my room, but if you go in there, I can't guarantee you'll get out." – I said looking into her eyes.
At that moment I let all my lust slip away.
Bridget was scared at first, but when she identified what I meant she blushed profusely.
