Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 1124: Basilisk Nagini
? "Come, take a sip...just a sip! I promise, this thing is sweet...hey! Don't run over there, you will come back for me!"
The powerful Veritaserum was successfully made, but how to feed a basilisk that turned into a human is not a very easy task.
After all, there is still a group of underage buddies watching in this room right now, and Maca obviously doesn't want to make this medicine feeding scene too rough.
So, naturally, he chased a little snake around the room.
"Hey, why are you so disobedient?"
Suddenly, Maca murmured to himself, then pointed to the direction of the window suddenly, and shouted:
"Who!"
This roar shocked everyone. Everyone turned their heads and looked out the window. Even the little basilisk who was walking fast on the ground stopped subconsciously.
At this moment, Maca grabbed the basilisk by the neck with a probing hand, broke its mouth, and poured Veritaserum into his head.
Following, he seemed to have done nothing before, and then put the basilisk back on the ground.
"Ahem...Is it my mistake?"
Maca turned her head and found that Ron and others were still staring at the direction of the window, but Luna blinked her large clear and innocent eyes and stared at him curiously.
"Oh, don't care!"
He smiled awkwardly, before beckoning to Luna:
"Come here! It's time for you to act!"
Although Veritaserum allows the person taking it to tell the truth, it does not have its own translation function, so it is clear that Maca still needs Luna's help to indirectly talk to the basilisk.
In this regard, Luna seems to be quite interested, because it is quite interesting for her to be able to communicate with a human who has become a snake.
"Hi! Miss Basilisk, I'm here to chat with you again!"
Listening to Luna's brisk greeting to the basilisk, and remembering that she was chasing the basilisk all over the house just now, Maca always felt that the interrogation seemed to have gone in a strange direction from the beginning.
"Luna, if you want to chat with her, you can talk to her for a while, now you ask her for me first-who is the ‘old person’ she originally wanted Helbo to find?"
Maca is a special veritaserum made by the basilisk with extremely high magic resistance, and it is gradually affecting the opponent as the effect of the drug diverges. It can be seen that the little basilisk has already shown some symptoms of dizziness, tilting his head and swaying entrenched in the same place.
Luna listened to Maca's instructions, and immediately concentrated on passing her thoughts to the basilisk as she did last time.
"His--"
While the snake was vomiting, Maca could perceive that the opponent seemed to be trying to resist the effects of Veritaserum.
Unfortunately, once the enhanced medicinal effect breaks through the barriers of the anti-magic physique, it is obvious that it is impossible to resist it by personal will. Probably even if it is Maca, it is impossible to resist to the end after taking Veritaserum by mistake, and everything that should be said or not will be blurted out.
Of course, he has an antidote himself.
After a moment of silence, everyone heard the short hiss of the basilisk. And then, Maca saw Luna suddenly raised her head, her eyes seemed to be a little bit surprised.
So, what exactly did the basilisk "say" to surprise even a girl like Luna who doesn't care much about many things?
"Luna?" Maca hurriedly called her softly.
"Oh!"
I saw Luna pursing her mouth, staring blankly under the gaze of so many eyes in the room:
"She said she was looking for ‘Tom’... ‘Tom Riddle’."
"Soup--"
When Maca heard this, he immediately lowered his head to look at the basilisk, and a series of speculations flashed through his mind like lightning. After a series of denials, the most likely but also the most impossible answer finally survived.
"Nagini?"
"Hiss——"
Just when Maca uttered the name like talking to herself, the basilisk seemed to understand his words and turned her head slightly—her eyes were still covered by Maca’s magic. But this did not prevent her from distinguishing everyone present with the bifurcated snake letter.
Seeing that the other party reacted to the name he had said, Maca shook his head with some doubts.
"This...impossible?"
Ron and other friends didn't quite understand Maca's hesitation.
They know "Tom Riddle", isn't that Voldemort's real name? So, this witch, who became a basilisk because of the blood curse, is still related to Voldemort?
Well, although this seems weird to Ron and others, it is not unacceptable.
However, Maca seemed to be puzzled by the answer, and even had a vague feeling of trying to deny it.
But in fact, due to the appearance of Maca, the story between Voldemort and Harry has turned upside down. And because of this, not only have many people survived, but there are even many people who have not been able to appear in front of everyone.
For example, Nagini, as Voldemort's only living Horcrux except Harry, few people even know its existence.
However, Maca remembered it from the beginning.
Just now, why did Voldemort's serpent Nagini become the host of the blood curse? Is Haierbo have any new ideas? Or... this was just an accident?
And more importantly...If this basilisk was the original Nagini, where did Voldemort's soul fragments remain in it? Why hasn't he noticed it for so long?
The piles of questions make it difficult for Maca to draw conclusions easily, let alone figure out Helbo’s conspiracy.
After a moment of contemplation, Maca shook his head again, then said:
"Luna, ask her again, what is her deal with Helbo?"
He actually asked this question the last time. It's just that the other party always seems to say half and half, so that they can't be sure that what the other party said last time must be the truth.
Not long after, Luna’s response was no different from last time—she did things for Helbo, and Helbo tried to get her back. It was that simple.
Hailbo was obviously very cautious and didn't reveal everything that shouldn't be said to her.
"Nagini...Blood Curse... Horcrux... Basilisk... Voldemort?"
Vocabularies continue to circulate in Maca's mind, and there is a certain connection between them, but Maca has not been able to find a clue that can be connected with Haierbo.
No, there are clues related to Helbo. Whether it is a basilisk or a Horcrux, even a lot of dark magic that Voldemort is good at, he can catch up with Helbo.
It's just that these messy clues are too superficial, and it's hard for Maca to imagine that Helbo would have a keen interest in Nagini.
Judging from the struggle between Maca and Helbo at the time, the guy obviously cared about the basilisk, and even once did not want to leave it to Maca.
Yes, if the windbreaker wizard hadn't participated in it at that time, Haierbo probably wouldn't be willing to let it go!
At the end, Maca reluctantly complained:
"It turns out that Nagini, the serpent who has been with Voldemort, is still a woman?"
To be honest, compared to Haierbo's idea, it doesn't matter to Maca whether Nagini is a human or a snake.
But since he couldn't figure out Helbo's intentions at all for a while, Maca had to pick one thing that he had already understood, and take it out to soothe the chaotic mood.
On the other hand, Ron was obviously the first to recover from the surprise. As for the name "Nagini", who is slightly unclear, he seems to be more interested in Maca's words.
"Maybe still a beauty!"
Before speaking, poor Ron was glared at by Ginny-Hermione was not there, and the task of despising Ron immediately fell on her.
"Don't be estrus with strange creatures," Ginny pinched his leg and said, "I didn't mention that boy before. Are you planning to find me a basilisk as my sister-in-law this time?"
"Maca..."
Seeing Ron crying for help, Maca immediately shrugged:
"Aren't you afraid of spiders? I can understand your mood... After all, at least the basilisk doesn't have so many feet!"
When Neville and Hannah were amused by his words, Maca once again looked down at the basilisk in front of him, with many questions still remaining in his eyes.
It's a pity that even if the effect of Veritaserum is still there, what this basilisk knows is not enough to give him more answers.
"'Don't waste the spoils captured from me'...'Waste'?"
While thinking about the many questions in his mind, he recalled the last words Helbo had said before leaving the London sewer.
So, when the Basilisk is in Helbo's hands, what value can she bring to the opponent? Just tossing around and crippling creatures?
I'm afraid this is not the case.
After a short while~IndoMTL.com~Maca bends down a little, picks up the basilisk and puts it on the forearm in the sleeve, and then he waved his hand:
"Okay, this is the end of this matter, we should go to the auditorium for dinner!"
When Luna heard this, she was immediately dissatisfied:
"Hey! Maca, but I want to talk to her more!"
In this regard, Maca nodded at her with a smile, and while urging her to move forward, he promised:
"Don't worry, I think she and I welcome you to chat. If you want to, you can come and accompany her during lunch break every day."
"That can be said!"
Luna clapped her hands with joy, and then greeted the other friends to walk outside the door. Maca followed the crowd, and had to raise her eyebrows helplessly.
"Well, you can't forget about Pansy...you have to remember to write back to Kingsley after dinner."
