Chapter 163 A Close Encounter with the Basilisk

School hospital.

Madam Pomfrey hurried to the bed and lifted up Harry's limp right arm, "I can't believe it.

You should come to me directly, I can put the bone back in a second."

"Aaron can do it too." Draco on the next bed raised his left arm gloatingly, "Potter, I really admire your courage to let Lockhart treat you.

Maybe you should feel lucky that you only lost a few bones, but at least your arm is saved."

"I didn't let him treat me." Harry was crying in his heart, Lockhart felt so good about himself that he couldn't stop him.

"This only shows that Lockhart likes you too much."

"That's enough, Mr. Malfoy, you can leave if you're fine." Madam Pomfrey said with a straight face, and then threw Harry a set of pajamas, "You may have to stay here for a night."

"Can his bones grow back?" Hermione asked worriedly.

"Yes, but it will hurt." Madam Pomfrey poured Harry a cup of bone spirit, "This night will be difficult. Growing bones is a very uncomfortable thing."

Harry drank it in one breath without any hesitation. He could still distinguish between a difficult night and a lifetime.

But he really couldn't praise the taste of bone spirit. It was like a ball of fire burning in his mouth. He spit out the potion before swallowing it.

"Do you still think it's pumpkin juice?" Madam Pomfrey rolled her eyes at him and poured him another cup helplessly.

......

In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun faded the last blush of the sunset.

Aaron put the old book that recorded the living habits of the basilisk on Madam Pince's desk, "I'm here to return the book. Thank you very much this time. Thank you very much."

"You're welcome, Mr. Gaius. This is what I should do." Madam Pince smiled, "You seem to be very happy today. It seems that this book is very helpful to you."

"Yes! It's a great help."

Walking in the corridor, Aaron felt particularly relaxed.

The natural enemy of the basilisk has been obtained. Next, as long as we find the Chamber of Secrets or the heir of Slytherin, everything will be settled.

At this time, a figure appeared at the entrance of the corridor, and Colin came out with a camera in one hand and a bunch of grapes in the other.

"Senior, what a coincidence!" Colin said with a smile.

"It's quite a coincidence, what are you going to do?"

"I'm going to see Harry Potter. There must not be many people at this time."

Aaron raised his eyebrows, "If I'm not mistaken, are you going to take a photo of him and ask for an autograph by the way?"

Colin nodded embarrassedly and said with admiration: "You also saw his performance on the court today!

Although Gryffindor lost, his catch was really handsome and wonderful."

Aaron's mouth twitched. This is a little fanboy!

There are so many people on the court, only looking at Harry Potter. If Draco's luck hadn't been a little worse, the Golden Snitch might not have been caught by him.

"Go ahead! By the way, wish him a speedy recovery for me."

"Got it." Colin said, and then continued to walk towards the school hospital.

Roar!

Abe suddenly let out a low roar, and his expression became particularly solemn.

"No way! You said that the monster is around."

Aaron couldn't help swallowing his saliva. While being alert, he was constantly thinking about when he revealed his flaws. He was actually targeted by the heir of Slytherin so quickly.

Borrowing books from the library? Impossible.

Although the wall of books was exaggerated, few people noticed it, and no one knew what books he borrowed. Madam Pince would keep it a secret for him.

Caught two roosters secretly? This is even more impossible.

During the Quidditch game, almost all the teachers and students in the school went to the stadium. When he caught the chickens, he made sure that there was no one around.

Even when he returned to the dormitory, he was very cautious and used Abe's sense of smell to cleverly avoid the very few people in the castle who did not go to watch the game.

"Which direction is the basilisk?" Aaron asked in Dragon language.

Abe hesitated for a moment, stretched out his claws and pointed behind Aaron, "It's at that corner, it's quietly waiting for its prey to approach."

Aaron was slightly stunned, as if he thought of something and quickly calmed down, and continued to move forward.

It turned out that he didn't reveal a flaw, but happened to stand with the basilisk's target.

But that's right, he is a pure-blood wizard, and the basilisk has no reason to kill him.

And Colin is from a Muggle family, which is its must-kill target.

Now as long as you pretend to know nothing and leave directly, there should be no danger, but it's hard to say about Colin.

Aaron has no ill feelings towards this first-year Gryffindor, and he doesn't want to watch him die, but he doesn't dare to bet on the patience of the basilisk.

What if it can't help it and takes him, a pure-blood wizard, away with it? After all, the book says that it is a cruel creature.

At this moment, two little men appeared in Aaron's mind.

One was called Morality, with a white halo on his head and a book in his hand.

The other was called Selfishness, with black wings behind him and a dark red trident in his hand.

"Stop him, stop him quickly.

This is a living being, he is only one year younger than you."

"Go quickly, no, run quickly, don't look back.

You have no relationship with him, there is no need to take such a big risk."

"Shut up." Daode shouted loudly, "It's okay if you don't know, but since you know, you can't turn a blind eye. If you can't even keep the bottom line, you will lose yourself sooner or later."

"If a man doesn't work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth.

There is nothing more precious than your own life in this world."

"Do you want him to have a guilty conscience in the future?"

"I don't want to, but I know that if a person dies, he will have nothing.

It is human nature to choose life over conscience. This child is just unlucky.

Besides, he doesn't owe Colin anything, and he will soon avenge him."

"Ah... I'll fight you."

The little man of morality picked up the book and rushed over. On the cover of the book were two raised golden characters: Kindness.

"I'm not afraid of you."

The selfish villain laughed and raised his trident to meet him.

The two villains' duel methods were particularly rough, with each punch hitting the flesh, without any martial ethics.

Gold and dark red flashed from time to time, and finally the selfish villain pierced the moral villain with a halberd and won.

However, the selfish villain was also seriously injured, lying on the ground dying, his wings became tattered, especially his face was branded with two big golden words by the Book of Kindness.

"I won, listen to me, save your life."

Aaron:......

If there were no two words on your face, I might really listen to you.

After coming to his senses, Aaron couldn't help shaking his head, smashing those miscellaneous thoughts.

Ancestor Fro said that when encountering something that cannot be decided, just solve it like this, why does it feel like it's not as good as flipping a coin!

"Colin, wait a moment." Aaron said with his back to him. He didn't dare to look back now. If he met those two big yellow eyes, he would be miserable.

"Senior, what's the matter?"

"Well... I think you can take a few more photos and bring them to Harry. As far as I know, he doesn't seem to have any photos of Hogwarts yet. Maybe he can give you a few more autographs if he's happy!"

"Really?" Colin asked excitedly.

"Absolutely true. If you take photos along the way, it will show your sincerity."

"Thank you, senior."

Colin immediately picked up the camera and closed one eye to pose for a photo, but his speed did not change.

As he turned the corner, a bright light flashed, followed by a sharp cry.

After a while, Aaron heard a sound like running water, and it was getting farther and farther away.

"Has it gone?"

Abe nodded, "It's gone."

Aaron breathed a sigh of relief and quickly turned around and walked to Colin's side.

He was pale, his body was stiff, and he stood there motionless.

But fortunately, his left eye was tightly closed, and his right eye was squinting, but there was a camera between them.

He didn't look directly at the basilisk, and although he was petrified, he saved his life anyway, and he could be saved when the mandrake matured.

"Alas! You are so easy to deceive, no, you are too naive.

Sorry, I have no preparations now, so I can only save your life in this way.

Please bear with me for a while, I will definitely save you, I can guarantee this."

"Oh my God!" Professor McGonagall walked over quickly, looking at Colin in the petrified state, her face became extremely ugly, "How could this happen?

Mr. Gaius, this has nothing to do with you, right?"

"Of course it doesn't matter, Colin and I separated in the aisle in front.

But after a while, I heard his scream, so I ran over." Aaron said with a wry smile, he vaguely felt that there was a pot on his back.

"Minerva." Dumbledore's voice came from the stairs. He walked up to Colin and checked him carefully. "It's petrification, but his life is not in danger for the time being!"

"Mr. Gaius, you..."

"Principal Dumbledore, do you doubt me?"

"No, Mr. Gaius, I said that if there is no evidence, he is innocent." Dumbledore said lightly, "I just want you to do us a favor and send Colin to the school hospital?"
