Hogwarts: Me? Fight Voldemort?

With the Muggle Charm and barbed wire binding him, even Voldemort would be in deep trouble.

The dense barbed wire was interconnected, and Lockhart, who crashed into it, was like a wild beast trapped in a swamp.

The sharp blade cut fine wounds into Lockhart's body, causing him to howl in pain.

The blade was clamped down by strong muscles less than a centimeter into the flesh. Lockhart slowly adapted to the pain and tried to break free of the barbed wire, but it only tightened around him.

"Nothing special!"

Jimmy cast another Muggle-Changing Charm, sealing Lockhart's spellcasting ability, and then sprinted to the side, trying to get past Lockhart.

When the two were less than five meters apart, Lockhart suddenly broke free of the barbed wire binding him and lunged at him with a sinister grin.

These impenetrable wires can at most cause Lockhart some inconvenience in his movements. To entangle Lockhart in his current form, it would probably be necessary to use a more durable material.

Jimmy didn't expect the wire to hold Lockhart back, after all, the Daily Prophet had already described Lockhart's physical condition as even more exaggerated than that of a Titan!

"The slide is flat!"

Using the same trick again, Lockhart threw himself on the ground and slid right past Jimmy, who was taking a step back.

Jimmy didn't expect his magic to harm Lockhart at first. He tapped the snake-head statues on both sides of the secret room with his wand, and the statues all came to life under the effect of the transfiguration spell.

They crawled out of the stone wall, carrying tens or even hundreds of tons of pressure as they strangled Lockhart.

Lockhart, who had fallen into the water on both sides of the stone bricks, was slammed against the wall by the giant snake's tail. He roared and swung his bone claws, smashing the giant snake into pieces that crashed into the water and created waves.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Jimmy turned and cast a spell at the Slytherin statue, "Shatter to pieces!"

The Shattering Charm destroyed Slytherin's mouth, revealing a dark hole behind it, and he then cast a new spell into the hole.

"A black dragon emerges from its cave!"

Jimmy didn't use a spell to summon snakes; he simply cast a light-up spell into the cave. When he saw the cave gradually emitting a dark green light, he decisively turned and ran.

dong dong!

"Jimmy Blaine!" Lockhart, who was being beaten up by two rows of giant snakes, saw Jimmy trying to escape and grabbed a rock with his thick claws and hurled it at him.

Bang!

Jimmy turned around and unleashed an explosive spell, causing the rock to explode into dust in mid-air.

He took out the Quidditch broom from his pocket, mounted it, and began casting spells on the tampered stone walls.

The hidden metal gate began to fall, the 8-ton gate crashing down and trapping Lockhart and the basilisk that had crawled out of the cave in the same room.

There are six gates in total. Every time a gate is lowered, Jimmy has to scatter a handful of pebbles in the middle of the gate to turn the pebbles into wire mesh and fill all the gaps.

All the steel gates slammed shut, and Jimmy flew into the pipes on his broomstick, listening to the earth-shaking noise behind the gates, feeling quite satisfied.

At this moment, Hagrid finally arrived at the entrance to the secret chamber. Fine beads of sweat appeared on his broad forehead. When he saw Jimmy, who was unharmed, his heavy breathing turned into a long sigh.

"Oh my god, you're alright, that's so good! Jimmy, I'll get you out of here!"

He tried to pull Jimmy away, but Jimmy shouted, "Wait!"

Then he reached out and grabbed at the air, tearing off the invisibility cloak, leaving Hagrid, who was about to forcibly take Jimmy away, dumbfounded.

"Harry? Hermione, Ron, Neville, and... Malfoy? What are you all doing here?"

The five of them stood there awkwardly, like children caught red-handed playing a prank.

Hermione stammered, "We're here... to help Jimmy."

"How did you find us?" Ron asked curiously.

"You guys are showing your chicken feet!"

Jimmy had been suspicious ever since he heard that laughter, so he flew to the pipe opening and saw... wow!

Several feet were sticking out in a row, making it hard to miss them.

dong dong!

A clearer roar came from the gate behind them, and the entire chamber shook violently from the impact, with pieces of rock falling from time to time.

There was still movement in the secret chamber, which meant that Lockhart had not been killed by the Basilisk's Eye.

This isn't a place to linger. Jimmy grabbed a sheepish Hermione, put her on a broom, and they made a run for it. "Let's get out of here first!"

The group of people who had been stunned in place also started to walk out of the pipe under Hagrid's watchful eye. Hagrid brought up the rear for them, pushing their backs with his two large palm-sized hands and urging them, "Listen to Jimmy, you have to get out of here right away!"

After Harry and the others ran out, Hagrid glanced back at the Chamber of Secrets, which was still trembling, and quickly gave chase.

Jimmy, who was the first to escape, quickly discovered something amiss in the pipes; from his perspective, he saw many remnants of magical power.

When he arrived at the cave that was at risk of collapsing and that he had reinforced, Jimmy was dumbfounded.

The road back is completely blocked by huge rocks. What's going on? Are you not going to put on an act anymore?

They sneaked in and blocked the way, clearly intending to make him go back and fight Lockhart!

Jumping off the broom, Hermione frowned as she faced the completely blocked path and asked, "What do we do now? How do we get across?"

Jimmy also landed on the broom, grinning crookedly, "Don't worry, I have a backup plan! This little difficulty is no match for me!"

To avoid being unable to escape if the road was blocked, he prepared at least three backup plans, which was also to prevent Lao Bi and Deng from making any moves.

Hagrid entered this place alone, instead of Dobby leading him, which suggests that Dobby was unable to take on the task due to some circumstances or people.

The urgency with which he entered indicated that the owl's note had also failed to be delivered, and it was only through a rocket that the note was finally delivered and Hagrid was awakened.

Dobby, the owl, and the rocket—the three calling methods all conveyed different messages, and Jimmy could deduce which plan had succeeded from Hagrid's attitude.

Dumbledore, oh Dumbledore!

You want to get my labor for free? You want me to work for you even though you don't have money?

Even dreams aren't that easy to have!

Chapter 162 Old Bi Deng!!

Harry and Hagrid arrived and were shocked to find the roads blocked.

"How could the road be like this!" Hagrid lunged at the pile of rocks, picked up a stone and threw it to the side. "Quick, let's dig these rocks away!"

“It must have been Lockhart who caused it to collapse!” Harry rolled up his sleeves, ready to join in.

Jimmy cleared his throat and called out, "Dobby!"

Dobby didn't appear, and everyone else stopped moving stones and looked at him.

“I was originally going to have Dobby Apparate over and take me away.” Having anticipated this, Jimmy took a wooden box out of his pocket, opened it, and inside was a broken bowl.

But this wasn't just any broken bowl; it was a door key.

These were door keys he had made in advance. In order to avoid being discovered, he made many more door keys. These convenient props were scattered in various corners inside and outside the castle, and the total number was so many that Jimmy himself couldn't remember them.

Jimmy placed the box on the ground and waved for everyone to gather around. "Come on, this is the key to the portal. As long as we touch it, we can teleport outside! Anti-Apparition doesn't work on the key."

Hermione, Hagrid, and the other five who were almost in despair all had their eyes light up.

“Great! With the Portkey, we can get out of here!” Hagrid immediately took Harry and Ron’s arms and walked over.

Hermione took Draco's hand and stood with Jimmy, saying with a strange sense of admiration, "I should really learn from you; you've prepared so much for this plan!"

Jimmy always manages to surprise her. No matter the situation, he's always so reliable, as if he can handle anything.

“Of course, dear Miss Granger, I’d be happy to teach you my survival skills!” Jimmy was a little flattered by this boast, and after laughing it off, he took Hermione and Neville’s arms and started counting down, “I’ll count down to three, and then we’ll all touch the bowl together, three, two… one!”

The seven people were neatly placed on the broken bowl and instantly sucked into the "pipe," experiencing the unique squeezing and spinning sensation of the wizard's teleportation method.

The inexperienced group all fell to the ground in a sorry state.

Jimmy was pinned down by Hermione, while Hagrid lay on his back, clinging to Neville's legs.

Harry and Draco exchanged bewildered glances, while Ron landed in a squatting position.

The scene was chaotic. Several people tried to stand up by bracing themselves on the ground, but all they touched was a wet patch.

Jimmy wanted to hold Hermione a little longer, but his wet clothes made him uncomfortable and he couldn't care less about the little girl in front of him. Before he could even stand up, a huge, dark basilisk flew over his head and crashed into the giant Slytherin statue.

Bang!

The loud noise from the basilisk landing startled all seven of them.

Realizing what was happening, Jimmy was furious and yelled, "Everyone, close your eyes!"

He then flipped Hermione over, pinned her beneath him, drew his wand, aimed it at the basilisk, and attacked the large black snake with an Eye Strike Charm imbued with rage.

“Jimmy! I never thought you’d come back!” Lockhart’s astonished expression, standing behind the torn iron gate, turned to surprise and cruelty.

It would take quite a bit of effort to break those metal gates. He thought he was going to lose to Jimmy, but when he turned around, Jimmy and six other people were lying on the ground in a crooked and twisted manner.

Jimmy turned around and scattered a handful of pebbles, completely blocking the road with a dense barbed wire fence, which made Lockhart yell angrily.

He lowered his head and waved his wand again, casting the Eye Strike Curse on the basilisk. This curse, which could even harm dragons, was also effective on the basilisk, which was covered in wounds.

The enormous snake's body writhed and howled, a sound that elicited a strange reaction from Harry, who was lying on the ground. "Who, who's crying out in pain?"

"It's the basilisk crying out in pain, Harry! Make the basilisk close its eyes! You can speak Parseltongue!" Jimmy, hearing Harry's involuntary Parseltongue, suddenly realized that the basilisk wasn't entirely useless to them.

Change strategy immediately and let Harry control the Basilisk.

"Me?" Harry was still lying on the ground, completely bewildered.

Why can't I understand what the basilisk is saying when it tells him to close his eyes?

Just then, the basilisk actually responded to its words, and the hissing sound sounded like a question to Harry.

"Are you a descendant of Slytherin?"

The basilisk, which has lived for hundreds of years, is not entirely without intelligence. Although it is not very intelligent, it can still recognize the most familiar basilisk accent.

The last time I heard the snake voice was fifty years ago. Hearing that familiar voice again was like the arrival of its master. The anger that had disturbed my sleep slowly disappeared, and I quietly curled up.

“I…” Harry wanted to say no, but then he remembered Jimmy’s words and decided to lie, “I am the heir of Slytherin, the Basilisk… Close your eyes!”

The basilisk responded with a hiss.

Harry immediately said to Jimmy, "It has closed its eyes."

Jimmy pulled out his super-thick multi-lens eyepiece, closed one eye, and held the eyepiece behind his eye to look at the basilisk. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the basilisk had indeed closed its eyes.

"Everyone can get up now... huh?"
