Chapter 1084 The Fragility of Life

? "Cousin Charles?"

"boom!"

Amidst the crashing sounds, Candice found that there were suddenly two figures beside her, so that she subconsciously yelled out again.

"It's okay, I'm here."

The Browns got there just in time before the huge creature outside crashed into the passage. Charles, who was facing away from the archway, tried to turn his head to look after pacifying his cousin, but his wife held his head back.

"Don't look back..."

Unlike her husband, Christine was almost directly facing the door opening due to their position and orientation before the door key was activated.

So as soon as she appeared here, she couldn't help being attracted by the huge creature outside the door that was hitting the hole.

And almost at that moment, her eyes passed through the darkness, and met the cold and ruthless vertical pupil all at once.

Immediately, Christine felt as if her heart was about to rush out of her throat, beating suddenly. Without a doubt, this was the strongest heart palpitation she had ever experienced since she was a child.

The next second, before she could fully react, the palpitation disappeared again. And what disappeared at the same time as the beating feeling of the heart was the consciousness in her mind.

Are you going to die? Just be killed by that huge snake pupil without warning?

No, the husband is behind it!

Charles, this guy, has been unreliable since he was on the Quidditch team, and he often needs his own reminders to avoid mistakes. Therefore, this time she should at least do her duty as a wife...

At least, he should be reminded!

"...don't look back, it's... a basilisk."

In the inexplicably weak tone of his wife Christine, Charles was taken aback for a moment, and then became anxious. Because he knew how terrifying such an extremely dangerous magical creature as the "basilisk" was.

Could it be... Could it be that the husband and wife have just arrived and are about to face the separation of life and death immediately?

Soon, a "plop" was heard, and his wife, Christine, fell powerlessly on the dusty ground beside him.

"Christine!"

When Charles linked the word "basilisk" with his wife's fall in an instant,

The anger in his heart was one step ahead of the fear, and quickly occupied his mind.

But in the next moment, Candice on the ground stretched out her little hand and grabbed the hem of Charles' wizard robe.

"……cousin."

In the end, Charles, who became impatient, habitually obeyed his wife's warning and did not try to turn back. Because if it is really a basilisk, if both of them are recruited-the sacrifice of the wife is meaningless.

"Don't be afraid, I'll take you away!"

"boom!"

Hearing the slightly paused impact sound again, Charles hastily pulled out his wand, used the Levitation Charm and led the three fallen people to the other side of the aisle in a hurry.

He can't turn back, and he won't turn back.

Even if he really wanted to avenge his wife now... well, if there were no these two children, maybe he would really fight for it, right?

But now, he still chose to escape.

No way, Charles is a typical Hufflepuff. Although he does not lack courage, if he had to choose between the lives of relatives and friends or the anger of revenge, he would still choose the former after all...

It didn't take too much time to pass through this aisle, and after turning into a circular passage, they naturally lost sight of the basilisk.

The basilisk is too big. Although the London sewers are extremely wide in many places, there are still many passages that are difficult for the other party to squeeze through.

Of course, the premise is that the basilisk does not use its full strength!

"boom--"

For some reason, Charles suddenly heard a loud noise from the aisle just now.

In fact, just after Charles brought the three of them to this waterway, the basilisk on the other side suddenly stopped hitting the door opening just now.

However, it stuck out its tongue twice on the spot, turned its head sideways and looked into the arch with a huge snake eye, and then turned around violently, as if venting its anger Vigorously lashed at the door opening with his tail.

Immediately, a large block of bricks was blown to pieces, and countless gravels and soil buried most of the aisle.

Obviously, it seemed that it didn't use enough strength in the impact just now, or it might have been forcibly squeezed into the aisle long ago.

Then, the huge basilisk that collapsed the aisle turned its head again, and swam straight forward into the deeper darkness.

Charles, who didn't see this inexplicable scene, was conducting a preliminary inspection for his wife at this time-whether Christine had been killed by the deadly gaze of the basilisk, he would not just give up.

Charles and Christine have only been married for three years and are currently at their happiest.

In fact, he and his wife have been thinking about having a baby lately. Even though they decided to regenerate later three years ago out of consideration of the chaotic situation, but after the deaths of Voldemort and Greenwald, another Haierpo appeared.

After three years of waiting, they could hardly wait any longer.

But, it's better now... Charles and Christine, a young couple, no longer need to worry about their children.

"Christine..."

In unparalleled anxiety, Charles checked his wife hastily, and then he held his wife tightly in his arms.

"Damn it... where is this place? A sewer? Why is there a basilisk here..."

In the murmur mixed with sobs, Charles did not forget to wave his wand, and summoned the two children who fell into a coma at some point to his side.

Then, he took out a door key that hadn't been used for a long time, and decisively activated it.

In an instant, the four figures in a state of distress disappeared without a trace in a burst of space fluctuations. After a while, the other end of the waterway shook again, and the basilisk quickly swam here in the blink of an eye.

"Hiss..."

The scarlet and forked tongue faltered in the darkness.

...

What Charles activated was naturally the Portkey Maca left him a long time ago—in fact, including the silver bracelet he was wearing on his hand and the necklace of his cousin Candice, it was also Maca who went to the black market. One of the gadgets on consignment here.

As a "middleman", he just intercepted the original price of the goods on the way.

It's a pity that things are good things, but this time it cost Christine his life. By now, he didn't know whether to regret it or something else.

Suddenly, four figures suddenly appeared outside Hogwarts, and then they all fell on their backs or prone on the soft grass.

Charles quickly got up and looked around. After seeing Hogwarts Castle, he knew that it must be the magic that prohibited space movement in the school that repelled him outside.

At this moment, Maca should be somewhere on campus.

After making a judgment as quickly as possible, Charles immediately led the three of them along the outer wall of the school towards the direction of the school gate without any hesitation.

Yes, even though he himself had examined his wife, he knew that her body had already lost its vitality. But when he thought of Maca's miraculous magic in the past, he couldn't help feeling hopeful.

What if Maca can save Christine? What if there is still a way?

The gate of Hogwarts was closed tightly, with several protective spells set by Professor Flitwick attached to it. On both sides inside and outside the school gate, there are several family wizards from Chateau Blois, France, on duty to guard it.

When Charles came to the school gate, he was also stopped.

"This is Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. If you have an appointment, please show the relevant letter."

Since graduating, Charles hadn't been back to school for three years. Naturally, he wouldn't know about the many changes in Hogwarts in the past few years.

After seeing that there were wizards guarding the door, and all of them seemed to be very powerful, his first reaction was to feel relieved.

For Hogwarts, Charles and Christine also have deep feelings, and it is naturally a joyful thing for the school to grow.

Of course, now he is not in the mood to pay too much attention to these things.

"I'm an alumnus of Hogwarts, and I'm here to find Professor Maca McClain... My wife has an accident and needs his help!"

"Please wait."

The English-speaking guard nodded, and then gestured to another companion inside the door. Seeing this, the latter immediately turned around and went to the castle.

Maca's name, they are naturally very familiar with it.

"If Mr. McLean has nothing important to do, he should be here soon. Please wait here for a while, sir."

In the slightly blunt English, there is a sense of business-like rigor. Normally, this attitude would only make everyone feel at ease, but at this moment, in Charles' ears, it became more and more tormenting.

Every minute and every second right now may be related to whether Christine is still alive, which really makes it impossible for him to relax for a moment.

Moreover, the condition of the two children did not seem to be very good, especially the boy who was as old as his cousin, whose breathing had become more and more vain and light.

But at this moment, a figure suddenly flew towards the castle, and then stopped firmly in front of the school gate. And almost at the same time, the school gate with the curse slowly opened.

"Charles, quickly bring them in!"

Although the wizard of Castle Blois who went to look for him just now didn't understand English, Maca seemed to know that he was looking for him, so he beckoned and let Charles pass.

But just glanced at Charles, he frowned and said:

"Christine... has gone."
