Harry Potter and the Master of Magic Chapter 40: Helpless

The origin of the 　　 Basilisk had already been said by Zhang Hao, so when Hermione spoke, the others were nodding their heads. They didn't want Professor McGonagall to think they knew nothing about it.

　　 However, Professor McGonagall seems to have different opinions on the origin of the basilisk.

　　 "My silly children, the conditions for the birth of the basilisk are actually more demanding." She said with a grim face: "To be precise, the egg that hatches the basilisk is originally a magic egg. It consists of a seven-year-old rooster. Produced when Sirius is in the sky, otherwise, how can the basilisk have such powerful magic power? Therefore, ordinary roosters can only drive away the basilisk, and cannot kill the basilisk. If you want to kill the basilisk, you must find a Sirius when the sky is in the sky. The hatched rooster. Only its cry can kill the basilisk in an instant!"

　　 Zhang Hao is also the first time to hear this statement, and the book does not record it in such detail.

　　Sure enough, the professors all have secrets they don’t know.

　　 "Professor, is there really no magic to deal with basilisks?" Hermione was a little unacceptable. In the little girl's perception, magic is almost omnipotent.

　　 She always thought that she couldn't cope with certain things just because she didn't have enough magic to learn. She never thought that an erudite professor might not be able to solve something with magic.

　　 "I'm afraid not... At least I don't know what magic can deal with the basilisk." Professor McGonagall said worriedly: "I thought Hagrid happened to have a rooster that hatched in the sky of Sirius, but is there any? It doesn't matter anymore. I have to ask him to hurry up and buy some roosters, at least to curb the basilisk activity first."

　　 Zhang Hao is a little puzzled. Did Professor McGonagall forget the sword of Gryffindor, or did he not know the sword of Gryffindor at all?

　　Gryffindor's sword can also kill the basilisk!

The threat of 　　 basilisk is almost too late. It was just a fluke that no student died before. Who knows if something really terrible will happen in the future?

　　"Even if magic is not possible, is there no powerful weapon to kill the basilisk?" Zhang Hao reminded: "I heard that Gryffindor Academy has a sword. Can that sword kill the basilisk? "

　　 Hope rekindled in everyone's hearts, especially Harry, Hermione and Ron, and they remembered that Gryffindor had such a treasure.

　　"Gryffindor's sword?" Professor McGonagall pursed his lips and said, "It may kill the basilisk, but only people with the qualities that Gryffindor possess can take it when needed. To it."

　　 Harry and others heard this for the first time, so they were a little confused for a while.

　　 "But, we need it now." Harry asked eagerly, "Isn't that sword kept by Professor Dumbledore?"

　　 "Who told you?" Professor McGonagall said in surprise: "Although the Gryffindor sword has been hidden in Hogwarts, no one can find it. This situation has been going on for a long time. I didn’t hear Dumbledore say that Gryffindor’s sword is in his hand."

　　 Everyone was lost when they heard the words, and finally the hope of finding it was gone!

　　 Zhang Hao is suspicious: "Old Deng's scheming is too deep, did he get the Gryffindor sword?"

　　 "Perhaps, we can ask Professor Dumbledore." He guessed: "The reason why the principal did not mention the Gryffindor sword is probably because it is unnecessary. But now, we need Gryffindor. The sword."

　　 "What you said makes sense, then go and ask!" Professor McGonagall thought about it, nodded and said: "It's not appropriate for so many people to find him together. You and Harry come with me."

　　……

　　 In the Hogwarts principal's room, Dumbledore is sitting at the table writing something.

　　 "Albus?" Professor McGonagall whispered: "Our students have made important discoveries about the recent attacks. It's a basilisk! There is a basilisk in Hogwarts-it is hidden in In the secret room where Slytherin left."

　　 Dumbledore was startled, his face more serious than ever. He asked in a deep voice, "Really? Let's listen, you can speak slowly."

　　 Professor McGonagall did not speak, but looked at Zhang Hao and Harry encouragingly.

　　 Zhang Hao deliberately played down the influence in front of Dumbledore, and gave the opportunity to Harry.

　　 Harry intermittently said and made gestures, and finally it became clear.

　　 "So, you want the Gryffindor sword?" Dumbledore whispered, "You want to use it against the basilisk?"

　　 "Yes, Professor." Harry said firmly: "There is no time to find a rooster now. The Gryffindor sword is the only hope."

　　 Zhang Hao wanted to say something but stopped, he said in his heart: "Where does this'only hope' start? Did I make my preparations for nothing?"

　　 Dumbledore didn't refute Harry's statement, he looked a little embarrassed.

　　"The only hope?" He said emotionally: "Yes! It is indeed the only hope. You have to find this hope by yourself. Unfortunately, I can't summon the Gryffindor sword."

　　"Why is this?" Harry said excitedly: "You are the principal of Hogwarts. You were also Gryffindor. How could you not be able to summon the sword of Gryffindor?"

　　 "What's so strange about this?" Dumbledore said nonchalantly: "It will only appear when you need it most, and I don't need it now."

　　 Zhang Hao and Harry looked at each other~IndoMTL.com~ and felt a little helpless.

　　 The attitude of this old man is too calm!

　　It is related to the basilisk and the safety of the students. Can you be nervous?

　　 "I know your careful thinking, but I want to advise you--" Dumbledore said kindly: "If there really is a basilisk at Hogwarts, it must not be something you can deal with... The sword of Lanfindor doesn’t work either. So just leave it alone, I’ll let Hagrid buy more roosters as soon as possible. Okay! Go ahead and do your business! Don’t wander in the corridors, I don’t want you Who is hurt by the basilisk again."

　　 Just like that, Zhang Hao and Harry were kicked out of the principal's office.

　　 The two were silent, and the atmosphere improved when they met the friends.

　　"How is it?" Hermione asked anxiously: "What did the professor say?"

　　 "He doesn't let us take care of this. It's really hard to understand." Harry said frustratedly: "He is afraid that we will be in danger, can we not be in danger unless we solve the basilisk?"

　　 "The professors are not unsolved, they just can't solve it temporarily." Zhang Hao said leisurely: "The easiest way to kill the basilisk is to find a rooster that hatched when Sirius is in the sky. The professors are working hard. Or, do you want them to fight the basilisk? IMHO, let’s not say that magic can’t deal with the basilisk, even if it can be dealt with... the professors have to close their eyes and fight the basilisk. You can imagine the danger. Right?"

　　 Everyone looked at each other, and finally realized the point of the matter.

　　 Sometimes it is not difficult to win a war, but how to reduce casualties.

　　The factors that professors have to consider are not just how to eliminate the basilisk?
