In the Harry Potter Without Harry Potter
Chapter 93: The Headmaster's Office in the Castle

"Plop!"

The Basilisk hit the wall behind Jon once again, its movements were anticipated by Jon in advance with each move, plus the ability to fly up, which made him as slippery as a loach.

At the same time, the movements of his hands did not stop, constantly casting one curse after another on the Basilisk.

"Coniunctivitis Maledictio! Coniunctivitis Maledictio! Coniunctivitis Maledictio!"

The pain the curse inflicted on the eyes was accompanied by the sound of the second crowing of the rooster, which had already caused irreversible damage to the Basilisk!

Its earthy brown eyes began to bleed out, its fangs were already stained with blood, and its body had begun to swell, with various parts of its turquoise scales bulging out and then concaving again, making people feel a chill just by looking at it.

The two failed attacks have made the Basilisk give up on entangling Jon, and it was prepared to run!

Although Voldemort gave it the order to defend the foyer to death, still the longer the creature lives the more it cherishes its life, this Basilisk which was originally created by Salazar Slytherin is naturally no exception.

Of course, it will obey its master's orders, otherwise, it will not faithfully stay in this castle for nearly a thousand years, but the rooster crowing is the instinctive fear that came from the depth of its soul, a weakness deliberately left when a Basilisk was first created, it has given its best to make an attempt, and now that the attempt has failed, it must escape!

The chosen direction of escape, naturally, is the door that Jon came in!

And in the first instance, it had the tendency to escape, such movements, Jon sensed it as the gravel nearby the door was being pushed by the Basilisk's body, and he knew very well that it was a critical moment.

No matter what, he must not let the Basilisk escape, or once it has attracted the attention of the students and faculty who are currently having Christmas dinner in the great hall on the ground floor, and they become aware that someone has broken into the Headmaster's office, the odds of Voldemort personally returning is high!

So at the first instance, Jon aimed his wand at the foyer, and he recited a transfiguration spell under his breath, that Aberforth had focused on teaching him, and he also practised this transfiguration spell for the longest time in the Room of Requirement.

No spell beam appeared, but the large piece of floor in front of the door all turned into a muddy swamp, and the Basilisk happened to just wriggle its huge body to escape here, and the next moment it was trapped in the swamp!

Even if Jon's talent is high, he only just learned this spell for less than two months, so being able to exert the desired effect is already amazing enough, but there is no way to completely trap the Basilisk, its body did not plunge deeply, as long as it struggled slightly, it could break out of the swamp.

But before it could make its next move, Jon had already waved his wand again.

"Immobilus!"

Freezing charm, the charm hit the Basilisk's body precisely!

The thick Basilisk hide has a strong magic immunity effect, but the charm still had some effect on the basilisk, making it struggle to escape stop for about a second, and it was this second, it slowly submerged in that swamp for some distance!

Grasping this time, Jon flicked his wand up in his hand, and the swamp's transfiguration spell was instantly undone, turning back into solid ground, but the Basilisk's body was already partly embedded solidly in the ground, leaving it trapped in a place with even greater resistance!

It desperately struggled, trying to break out of the ground to escape from this place of death before the next rooster crow sounded, and the tremendous force created cracks in that ground that trapped it, but just a second before it was about to break free from it.

In Jon's arms, the rooster crowed for the third time, like the death knell ringing in the evening, deciding the end of the Basilisk!

"Woo-woo-woo-hoo!"

The surface hide of the Basilisk all bulged up, it had totally gone insane, and also at this moment, it broke free from the ground, no longer trying to escape, the whole body of the basilisk was twitching, rampaging in the foyer!

This irregular action caused Jon, who was floating in mid-air, to dodge, but he was still swept aside by the force its body created even after dodging, and the tremendous force slammed him solidly into a wall, causing a tightening in his chest.

The Basilisk itself rushed from the entrance of the foyer to the opposite direction, and it crashed directly into the door of the foyer leading to the Headmaster's office that it was guarding, and eventually the bulging hide began to dent like a leaking ball, and the fishy blood spurted out in all directions as if it were a fountain!

It hissed and wailed in agony, but none of this could change its end, and its body collapsed helplessly in a pool of blood!

Jon panted sharply, and got up from the ground, he now looks a little wrecked, covered with gravel and dust, his face has also become somewhat pale, but at least it is not serious enough to affect the state of his consciousness.

After hearing no movement around, he did not recklessly remove the black blindfold cloth first, but once again waved his wand and used the levitation charm on the gravel scattered on the ground.

The gravel floated up through the air, and soon he found the exact location of the Basilisk now and then judged the various parts of its body.

Next, Jon pulled up the cloth and looked in the direction of the Basilisk's tail, the basilisk already lying motionless on the ground, its body is pooling a small pond of fishy blood, and it was also bubbling like lava on the ground.

The Basilisk's surface hide was bursted by its own blood, indeed, it was dead.

After determining this, Jon was completely relieved, he first used the full body-bind curse on the rooster that fell to the ground and kept on crowing, and then put it into the cloth bag enchanted with Undetectable Extension Charm.

This rooster has a lot of credit, of course, Jon will not do anything like remove the grass and kill the monkey, after using it just slaughter it.

Afterwards, he cautiously checked the door at the entrance of the foyer, to make sure that the door was still closed, he stepped into the Headmaster's office that had been knocked open by the Basilisk.

The furnishings here are unexpectedly simple, there is no decoration or portrait on the surrounding walls, not even a bookshelf or wooden cabinet, only a desk and chair in the centre of the Headmaster's room.

The Basilisk's huge body blocked part of Jon's view, and he could only see what was placed on that desk if he continued to walk two more steps forward.

And just as he got a full view of the desk, the pupils in his eyes suddenly tightened!

Each of the things placed on that desk was something he was very familiar with, and although this would be the first time he saw it with his own eyes after coming to this world, he had long read it described in the original story many times.

That is a sword, a diadem, a locket and a golden cup!
