Hogwarts starts with stealing power.

Chapter 287: Shocking change, Ron’s legs suddenly freeze and stop dead?
Voldemort's words fell.

A huge shadow emerged from behind him.

But unlike the usual front facing them, this shadow has the tail facing forward and the head at the back.

The basilisk is retreating little by little!

Voldemort said excitedly: "The battle has just begun. I hope you can enjoy this battle and let me see how much you have grown. It would not be fun if the game ended all of a sudden."

Everyone couldn't help but shudder.

Even the dumbest Ron could tell that Voldemort did it on purpose!

He could have let the basilisk appear directly on the scene, catching them off guard, and with just one encounter, he could have turned them all into snakes!
But he chose not to do so.

The reason was simple, he just wanted to see how much Harry had grown.

This person is simply crazy, a complete lunatic!

Everyone stepped back immediately and quickly put away their magical glasses, including Harry.

Otherwise, they won’t be able to fight the basilisk head-on, and their mobility will be much worse.

Although Voldemort used the Basilisk as a tool to test Harry, Lin Xia and others were here, and they couldn't just watch Harry fight alone.

So when someone adjusted themselves, they took the lead in launching the attack.

"Shattered to pieces!"

Hermione pointed her wand at the basilisk, her fingers trembling slightly and her voice shaking, but she still picked up her wand to defend her life!
The last time she saw a basilisk, she was so frightened that she could not move at all. She could only let Lin Xia fight alone, and there were dangers lurking around her.

That incident also left a deep shadow on her.

She secretly swore at that time that if it happened again, she would never be as cowardly as last time!

Facing the basilisk again this time, Hermione was bravely the first to attack!
The pronunciation of the spell was standard, and the posture was trembling but still accurate. It was just because he was too nervous that the power was very small, and it only caused a few sporadic sparks when it hit the basilisk.

This curse was completely blocked by its skin!

Hermione's attack seemed to have aroused the basilisk's ferocity. Everyone heard the hissing sound, and even if they couldn't understand what it was saying, they could feel its anger.

The heavy tail swept towards them, but the little wizard narrowly dodged it and hit the huge stone pillar with a "bang" sound.

The basilisk has become even more violent!

Although we couldn't see its eyes, through the magic glasses, we could see its ferociously open mouth.

It wants to swallow them in one bite!
Lin Xia also fought back: "The legs are frozen and dead!"

It was a leg-locking spell, and she wasn't sure if it would work on a basilisk.

The basilisk stiffened slightly and continued to swim away.

But Lin Xia noticed the pause at that moment, and quickly said, "If you don't know how to use other advanced spells, you can try the Leg Locking Spell, which can also work on basilisks!"

This sentence was actually directed at Harry and Ron.

Because except for the two of them, who have not yet had extensive knowledge of attack spells, everyone else already has some experience.

Including George and Fred.

The twins played pranks at Hogwarts all day long, causing a lot of trouble for the professor, who came up with many ways to punish them.

During the confrontation with the professor, the twins continued to learn new spells and unknowingly learned many attack spells.

But what they are best at is mischievous spells.

But as long as the prank is made a little more powerful, that is, a curse, the attack power should not be underestimated!

George gently waved the spell, his hands were very steady, and his mouth uttered a series of fluent syllables very clearly -

"Imprison them all!"

The same thing happened to Fred. The two of them were like a mirror, fighting back at the same time.

"Shattered to pieces!"

The twins George and Fred have a great understanding of each other, and the role they play together is no less than that of three people.

Ron and Harry also took action, using the Leg-Locking Curse.

"Stand stiff and stop dead!"

Two bright rays of light shot onto the basilisk, which paused slightly, a pause that was barely noticeable.

After all, the little wizard's magic power was too weak, and even if it was hit, it would not cause much trouble to it.

But the magical thing was that after just a short pause, the basilisk suddenly became more violent and sped up to chase the little wizard.

The little wizard immediately ran for his life.

This place is a bit narrow, and there are many stone pillars around it. The quality of the stone pillars is very good, so the basilisk can smash them hard without being damaged.

Thanks to these tall and thick stone pillars, the little wizard was able to hide behind the pillars every time to avoid the basilisk's attacks.

Ron aimed at the basilisk again and shouted, "Stand still, stop dead!"

Only then did Lin Xia realize that the spell Ron used was somewhat different from the orthodox leg-locking spell. The light emitted by the spell was a bright green color!
When they were casting a spell together before, Harry's magic power was greater, so it overshadowed Ron's spellcasting.

Now it seems that what Ron used was not a leg lock at all.

And for some reason, Ron's spell on the basilisk actually made it roar and hiss, and it became even more violent than before!
The sounds of Hermione, Draco, George, Fred and Harry casting spells mixed together. The spell attacks on their side never stopped, one spell after another.

Lin Xia quickly ran to Ron.

In just a moment, the other little wizards launched another round of bombing.

And maybe it was accidental, but Lin Xia discovered that their spells could be combined into a set.

As long as they are released at short intervals, the effect will be far more powerful than all the individual powers combined!
This involves more advanced combination magic. Lin Xia knows that the school will only teach combination magic when they enter the senior grades.

You have to be at least in fourth grade to know that.

Because their system is pretty good, Lin Xia is not in a hurry to join in, so as not to destroy this combination of spells.

Instead, he looked at Ron and asked in a low voice: "What spell did you just use?"

Ron covered his head with one hand to prevent it from being hit by the scattered debris, and replied loudly in confusion:

"The Leg-Locking Curse! I used the Leg-Locking Curse!"

Because he had been hiding all the time, Ron's face had turned pitch black. In comparison, Lin Xia was much cleaner and tidier.

She has a strong physique and can easily hide from the basilisk.

Ron even had a hunch that the presence of these little wizards slowed down Lin Xia's dodging speed, otherwise she would have been able to dodge more promptly.

Lin Xia replied loudly: "Ron, try again!"

Ron was puzzled, but did as he was told, and shouted, "Stand still and die!"

Another green light was emitted and shot towards the basilisk.

This ray of light was even more powerful than the one Ron had emitted before. Perhaps because Lin Xia was by his side, he felt more confident, so the magic power he poured out was even greater.

Lin Xia's mouth twitched.

She was standing next to Ron and watched the whole scene. She was 100% sure that Ron was not using the Leg-Locking Curse.

Both the pronunciation of the syllables and the posture were wrong.

Although they look similar, they are just a little bit different.

It's just a little difference, a slight error can lead to a huge mistake!

What made her feel even more surprised was that even though the syllables and posture were wrong, Ron was still able to launch it.

If other little wizards make a mistake, their spells will fail.

But Ron was able to cast the spell successfully, which was also a wonder.

What surprised her even more was that she felt that Ron's spell had a far greater impact on the basilisk than anyone else's.

Because every time the basilisk became more violent, irritable and ferocious, it was after Ron cast a spell.

Why is the basilisk so strongly stimulated?

He must be feeling pain, which is why he went crazy!

So Lin Xia didn't go anywhere else, she just stood beside Ron and kept yelling at him to cast a spell. She stopped casting spells herself because the more she cast, the more she would be exposed.

Her current magic power is very different from that of an ordinary little wizard and is comparable to that of a college professor.

No matter how much she tried to conceal it, it might be noticed by the perceptive Voldemort. She didn't want to reveal her true strength in front of Voldemort.

Look at Harry, this is the result of being targeted by Voldemort. In the past two years, he has come to find Harry once a year.

Just thinking about it gives me a headache.

"Ron, I'm right beside you. You don't have to worry about being petrified by the basilisk. Just aim at it bravely!"

Ron was dodging left and right, but when he heard these words, he felt a great courage rise in his heart.

He actually stopped and instead of dodging, faced the basilisk head-on.

Ron yelled in a clear voice: "Stand still!"

Hereby——

The green color of this green light is even darker, and it is so green that it makes people feel uneasy.

The basilisk was attacked by this wave and stood up its body for the first time, swinging its tail rapidly, then it fell to the ground and rolled over.

This posture is a bit like a human rolling on the ground after suffering pain!
The little wizards looked at this scene in shock and suddenly turned to look at Ron.

Damn, so cruel!

Can the leg-lock spell actually have the effect of a big move?
This caused the other young wizards to switch to the Leg-Locking Spell in the hope of increasing the damage.

But as soon as they used it, they realized something was wrong. They saw the super-large leg-locking spell that Ron had just used.

The light was green and looked a bit vicious.

But their leg-locking spell is a beam of white light, which doesn’t match at all!
Hermione couldn't help but quickly ran to Ron and shouted, "Ron, what spell did you just cast?"

Ron shouted back, "Leg-locking curse!"

Hermione said anxiously, "It's not the Leg-Locking Curse. The casting light of the Leg-Locking Curse is not like this. Think carefully again. Did you remember the spell wrong?"

Ron was about to say something when Lin Xia pushed him away.

Lin Xia was right next to him, and he just felt someone easily stretched out a hand and pushed him aside.

Ron even felt that Lin Xia didn't use much force.

He also believed that Lin Xia couldn't push him away.

However, the next second, Ron was stunned. He felt like he was on a plane and immediately flew from the westernmost end of the secret room to the easternmost end.

There was a loud bang and it hit the wall heavily!

Lin Xia ran over quickly and said embarrassedly: "Just now I saw the basilisk running towards me, and I pushed you away in a hurry. Are you hurt?"

Ron coughed several times, looked at Lin Xia in shock, and was speechless.

He really wanted to ask, Lin Xia, are you a super-strong woman?

How come you are so strong?
As soon as Lin Xia waited for him to stand up, she immediately gave him directions: "The wonderful glasses refract light, so what we see is not the front.

You cast a spell at the basilisk, but only hit its forehead. Come on, move your hand a few centimeters to the left and lower, and this time you can hit it harder. "

Ron did as he was told and said anxiously, "This position is blank, are you sure?"

Lin Xia said with certainty and absoluteness: "Sure, you cast the spell in this direction."

"Row!"

The situation was critical. Ron didn't have time to think before he cast the spell: "Stand still and die!"

He felt the basilisk moving towards him at high speed again, and he didn't know what medicine he had taken wrong.

None of the other little wizards chased him, not even Harry, but he just chased him.

If Lin Xia hadn't been by his side, he really wouldn't have mustered up the courage to fight the basilisk head-on. He would have only focused on running away and would not have had the courage to fight back with magic spells.

The green magic shot into the basilisk's eyes!

The basilisk's movements stopped, and it fell to the ground, roaring violently and enduring great pain.

Lin Xia didn't dare to look at the front of the basilisk. The angle just now was also calculated by her.

Seeing this scene, she must have felt...

Ron's spell really had a huge destructive effect on the basilisk.

Lin Xia immediately said, "Ron, keep attacking the basilisk. Lower your head a little and you can see its body swaying!"

After Lin Xia's reminder, the other little wizards also reacted and threw a barrage of spells at the basilisk.

The basilisk couldn't dodge, and the pain in its eyes made its defense not as good as before, so it was hit by all the spells.

After a while, beams of magical sparks flashed like fireworks, and the basilisk looked a little weak.

Lin Xia glanced around.

It’s a pity that the little wizard’s magic power is already insufficient at this time, and he has to use it sparingly.

If he continued to attack as before, he would not be able to cast spells due to lack of magic power, and would become a Muggle, and could only rely on his two legs to avoid the basilisk.

If the basilisk's body had not been rolling violently, Lin Xia would not have been able to calculate it. Otherwise, she wanted to strike while the iron was hot and let Ron aim at the basilisk's other eye as well.

Just as the basilisk kept rolling and tumbling in a stalemate, suddenly, the wall of the secret room opened again, and two more wizards walked in.

Lin Xia looked at it and was a little surprised.

Professor Lockhart, and Mikkel!
Why was Professor Lockhart's wand against Mikkel's throat? What happened between them?
As soon as Lockhart walked in, he saw the basilisk on the ground.

The basilisk had its back to him, so there was no need to worry about being petrified.

Professor Lockhart laughed maniacally.

In his eyes, the basilisk was already very weak and could be killed with just the slightest movement of his fingers.

"You actually found the monster and defeated the basilisk. This is beyond my expectation. You little wizards are really outstanding."

Everyone couldn't help but take a few steps back, feeling that something was wrong with Lockhart's expression.

Inexplicably, his demeanor at this moment was a bit like Voldemort's before, which were all signs of him about to go mad.

Lockhart stared at the other young wizards, muttering to himself.

"You are all the best little wizards I have ever seen, but people tend to only remember one hero. From now on, everyone will think that I am the hero who killed the basilisk, and you guys -"

Lockhart grinned: "In the fight with the basilisk, he was hurt by it and lost his memory permanently, becoming demented!"

He raised his wand high and just shouted one syllable when Mikel in front of him hit him hard in the chest with an arm hammer.

Lockhart couldn't help but groan.

Before, when the wand was pressed against his neck, Mikel could do nothing. As soon as Lockhart moved the wand, he knew that his chance to fight back had come.

Mikel beat him and cursed: "He is a liar who deceives the world and steals his reputation. I just passed by the bathroom and found a tunnel inside, so I slid down to see it out of curiosity, and ended up meeting him in the room outside."

"He said that the legendary secret room was ahead and asked me to explore it with him. I was afraid of danger, so I disagreed. As a result, he grabbed me and forced me to go forward, and asked me to use snake language to open the door!"

"I will beat you to death, you liar. You still want to take all the credit for yourself. You are not worthy of being our professor. You don't know any spells. You can only cast the Oblivion Charm..."

How powerful is a little wizard when he explodes?

Lin Xia couldn't tell whether Mikel had also practiced physical training, so he beat Lockhart.

But Lockhart was a coward, there was no doubt about that.

Hermione cast a spell on Lockhart: "Stupefy!"

Lockhart fainted.

"Clap, clap, clap!" A burst of applause suddenly rang out, and Grace watched the scene with interest.

"Today really gave me a lot of surprises," he said.

The face on his face was half distorted and blurry Voldemort and half Tom Riddle, with the corners of his mouth slightly opened, revealing a weird smile.

"But this battle has just begun."
