Harry Potter and the Master of Magic

Zhang Hao has already said the origin of the basilisk, so other people are nodding when Hermione speaks. They don't want Professor McGonagall to think they know nothing about it.

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

"My silly children, in fact, the conditions for the birth of the Basilisk are more stringent." She said sternly, "to be exact, the egg that hatches the Basilisk is a magic egg. It is produced by a seven-year-old rooster when Sirius is in the sky. Otherwise, how could the Basilisk have such powerful magic power? So the general cock can only drive away the snake monster, and can't kill the snake monster at all. To kill the basilisk, you have to find a rooster that hatches when Sirius is in the sky. Only its cry can kill the Basilisk in an instant

It was the first time that Zhang Hao heard such a statement. There was no such detailed record in the book.

Sure enough, the professors have secrets.

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

She always thought that she couldn't cope with some things just because she didn't learn enough magic. She didn't expect that the learned professor could not solve something with magic.

"I'm afraid not... At least I don't know what magic can deal with basilisks." Professor McGonagall said anxiously: "I thought Hagrid would have a rooster hatching in Sirius, but it doesn't matter now. I've got to get him to buy some cocks, at least to stop the basilisk

Zhang Hao wondered whether Professor McGonagall had forgotten the sword of Gryffindor or did not know it at all?

Gryffindor's sword can also kill the Basilisk!

The threat of the Basilisk is just late. No student died before. It's just a fluke. Who knows if something really terrible will happen in the future?

"Even if magic doesn't work, isn't there any powerful weapon to kill the Basilisk?" Zhang Hao reminded: "I heard that Gryffindor college has a sword. Can that sword kill the Basilisk?"

There was hope in everyone's heart, especially Harry, Hermione and Ron. They remembered that Gryffindor had such a treasure.

"The sword of Gryffindor?" Professor McGonagall pursed his lips and said, "it may kill the basilisk, but only those who really have the qualities of Gryffindor can get it when they need it."

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

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

"Who told you that?" Professor McGonagall said in surprise: "although the sword of Gryffindor has been hidden in Hogwarts, no one can find it. This has been going on for a long time, and I've never heard Dumbledore say that Gryffindor's sword is in his hands. "

All the people were lost when they heard the words, and the hope that they could find was gone!

Zhang Hao wondered in his heart: "old Deng's scheming is too deep. Did he get Gryffindor's sword?"

"Maybe we can ask Professor Dumbledore." He guessed: "the reason why the headmaster didn't mention the sword of Gryffindor is probably because there is no need to use it. But now, we need the sword of Gryffindor. "

"You have a point. Go and ask." Professor McGonagall thought about it for a moment, nodded and said, "it's not suitable for so many people to go to him together. You and Harry come with me."

……

In the headmaster's office at Hogwarts, Dumbledore is sitting at his desk writing something.

"Albus?" Professor McGonagall whispered: "our students have made a major discovery about the recent attacks. It's the Basilisk! Hogwarts has a basilisk - it's hidden in the chamber left by Slytherin. "

Dumbledore was stunned, his face more serious than ever. He asked in a deep voice, "really? Let's hear it. You can speak slowly. "

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

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

Harry said intermittently, even with gestures, and finally made things clear.

"So you want the sword of Gryffindor?" Dumbledore whispered, "you want to use it against the Basilisk?"

"Yes, professor." Harry said firmly, "there's no time for roosters now. The sword of Gryffindor is the only hope."

Zhang Hao wanted to talk but stopped. He said to himself, "where does this" only hope "come from? Is my preparation in vain? "

Dumbledore didn't refute Harry's claim. He looked a bit embarrassed.

"The only hope?" He said with emotion: "yes! It's really the only hope. It's up to you to find it. Unfortunately, I can't summon the sword of Gryffindor

"How could that be?" Harry said excitedly, "you are the headmaster of Hogwarts. You used to be Gryffindor. How can you not summon Gryffindor's sword?"

"What's so strange about that?" Dumbledore said as if nothing had happened: "it will only appear when you need it most, and I don't need it now."

Zhang Hao and Harry looked at each other and felt helpless.

The old man's attitude is too calm!

It's related to the snake monster and the safety of students. Can you be nervous?

"I know your careful thinking, but I want to advise you --" Dumbledore kindly said: "if Hogwarts really has a basilisk, it must not be what you can deal with... Not even with the sword of Gryffindor. So leave it alone. I'll ask Hagrid to buy more cocks as soon as possible. All right! Do your own business! Don't wander in the corridor. I don't want any of you to be hurt by the Basilisk again. "

In this way, Zhang Hao and Harry were driven out of the headmaster's office.

They were silent, and the atmosphere was better when they met their friends.

"How's it going?" Hermione asked anxiously, "what does the professor say?"

"It's hard to understand that he didn't let us take care of it." Harry said dejectedly, "he's afraid we'll be in danger. Can't we be in danger without solving the Basilisk?"

"It's not that professors don't solve it, they just can't solve it for the time being." Zhang Hao leisurely said: "the easiest way to kill the Basilisk is to find a rooster hatched by Sirius in the sky. Aren't the professors working hard? Or do you want them to fight against the Basilisk? With all due respect, let's not say that magic can't deal with basilisks, even if it can... Professors have to fight with basilisks with their eyes closed. Can you imagine that danger? "

Everyone looked at each other and finally realized the key.

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

Professors need to consider more than just how to eliminate the snake monster?
