Sequence Potions at Hogwarts

Chapter 143 Heroes never act according to plan

Hearing the order, the basilisk flew out of the water and pounced on Nix. Nix, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately dodged to avoid it.At the same time shouting: "It's now."

Harry jumped out from the darkness, but instead of destroying the diary as Nix said, he jumped on the basilisk and stabbed it in the head.

In Nix's plan, he is not in any danger. He is not the kind of person who sacrifices himself for morality, but Harry is different. He will not give up his companions, let alone watch Nix sacrifice to achieve his success, so Instead of looking for the diary, he wanted to kill the basilisk while the basilisk was not paying attention.

What Harry didn't expect was that, as a magical creature, the basilisk had an extremely thick skin, and the Gryffindor sword was very sharp, but piercing the basilisk required great strength.

The sword didn't penetrate the basilisk's brain as he thought, which made him regret in his heart. According to Nix's plan, he could at least kill Tom Riddle.

It wasn't realistic to turn around and look for the diary now, Tom Riddle wouldn't give him a chance.

While regretting, Harry thought again, the idea of ​​asking Nix to make a potion for him.

If he was as strong as Seamus and Neville, he could thrust his sword through and kill the basilisk in one fell swoop.

Nix cursed inwardly when he saw Harry's actions.Can't you just follow the plan?Do you have to be a hero?Are miracles that easy to happen?Dumbledore is the same, can't you help him so that his sword can stab the basilisk smoothly?

Now he is the one who is in trouble. If he doesn't go up to help, he feels that Dumbledore will be disappointed. If he goes up to help, he is not sure, what if he is buried in Shekou.

However, if the Knicks don't want to play, it doesn't mean that Tom Riddle will let him go. "Should I say you are naive or stupid to try to kill a basilisk with a sword!"

Nix dodged the basilisk's pounce and did not answer Tom Riddle's words. The basilisk is now blind and can perceive his position by sound. The previous conversation with Tom Riddle was used as a bait to reveal his position. , to lure the basilisk out, and now the basilisk is attacking him, and he still speaks to reveal his position, which is stupid.

His action involved the injury, a burst of heart-piercing pain, and he knelt down on one knee, which made his plan to get the diary aborted.

Harry waved the sword in his hand indiscriminately, which did not pose any threat to the basilisk, but it made the basilisk perceive that there was someone on it.

With a push, Harry flew up.Fortunately, there is a statue in front of it, so I climbed up by grabbing the edge.

Climbing up to a platform, Harry leaned over to look down, but couldn't find where Nix was hiding, and shouted, "Nix, are you alright?"

The basilisk straightened up slowly until it was level with Harry. Although it was blind, it seemed to be able to see Harry.

Nix watched from below, feeling very grateful in his heart. Fortunately, the basilisk was not wise, and it followed Tom Riddle's orders single-mindedly. If it was as cunning as a human, it might turn into a catastrophe of a python.

Turning his head to look at Tom Riddle and the diary on the ground again, feeling unwilling, enduring the pain and secretly walking towards the diary.

Harry saw Nix in action, and he taunted on it: "Come on, I'm not afraid of you."

The basilisk bit it unceremoniously, Harry dodged, and a piece of the statue under his feet was gnawed off by the basilisk.The basilisk stood up and stared at Harry, trying to locate Harry.

It was a little late when Tom Riddle saw Nix, Nix was only three steps away from the diary, and he shouted in Parseltongue: "There are people behind, attack him."

As soon as the words fell, Nix picked up the diary and showed a mocking smile, planning to leave.But Nix didn't expect that the basilisk didn't turn back, but swept with its tail.

He was sent flying again, rolled a few times on the ground and stopped, lying on his back, his legs were twisted in a strange way, his left hand was numb, and the only thing he could move was his right arm.

This time, he didn't need to feel it, he didn't know how many bones were broken, but he couldn't make a sound, it would attract the basilisk, and he regretted it in his heart, he should have put on a protective armor just now.But he didn't master the silent spell, so he had to give it up in order not to attract the attention of the basilisk and Tom Riddle.

He still has the strength to fight for the last time, the diary is not far away, as long as he waved his wand lightly, the Fiercefire Curse would burst out and burn the diary.

The reason why heroes are called heroes is that they can do things that ordinary people can't do, save the building from falling, and create miracles.The protagonist of a story is not necessarily a hero, but the hero is often the protagonist of the story. As a hero in the wizarding world, Harry created a miracle, although he did so only with the blessing of his mother.

Seeing Nix's state, Harry came to his senses. He looked at the basilisk and taunted loudly: "Tom Riddle, is this all you can do? Dealing with two students is so difficult, do you still want to dominate the world?"

Tom Riddle looked at Harry on the statue, then at Nix, and the corner of his mouth curled up: "There's no need for such a Harry Potter, that guy is no longer a threat."

Harry looked at Nix again, and he saw Nix move his right hand, wave his wand, and aim at the diary.Knowing that Knicks could still cast the spell, he had an idea in his heart.

After evading another attack from the basilisk, he descended along the statue, "step, step, step" ran to Nix and said, "Fiender, burn the basilisk to death."

Nix spat out a mouthful of blood: "No, it will affect Ginny and Tifa."

"It's okay, I'll release the counter-curse, and we'll win if we burn the basilisk to death." Harry said quickly.

Nix didn't want to use the Fiercefire Curse to burn the basilisk to death. The basilisk in front of him had a lot of potion ingredients, so it would be too wasteful to burn it with the Fiercefire Curse.The current situation no longer cared about any potion ingredients, so he could only burn the basilisk to death according to Harry's plan.

"Get out of the way." Nix saw the basilisk rushing towards Harry again.

Harry turned sideways, and with a wave of Nix's wand, in conjunction with the spell, a stream of flames spewed out along the wand, just right into the basilisk's open mouth.

Basilisk is a magical creature. Its skin is not only thick, but also has high resistance to spells. Generally, spells have no effect on it. As tough as its skin, not to mention the Fiercefire Curse, the sword in Harry's hand could pierce through it with a little force.

The huge basilisk shook a few times and fell to the ground with a bang. Fiendfire burned out of its body and spread to the surroundings.

Nix yelled, "Countercurse."

Harry waved his wand and cast a counter-curse, Fiendflame was extinguished, half of the body of the basilisk remained, and the smell of barbecue wafted from it.

In Nix's perception, most of the potion ingredients on the basilisk disappeared. It seemed that it was either burned by Fierce Flame, or roasted, losing its medicinal value.

Harry lowered the Gryffindor sword in his hand, aimed at Tom Riddle's diary, looked at Tom Riddle and said, "Goodbye!"
