People at Hogwarts: Cut off Hermione Hu at the beginning

Chapter 112 Dumbledore's Invitation

Seeing that his eye-destroying spell was dodged by the basilisk, Qin Ziyun did not dare to stay in place, lowered his head and ran away quickly.

Although the spell just now missed the eyes, it also hit the head.

The basilisk, which was attacked as soon as it came out, burst into thunderous rage, opened its ferocious mouth full of terrifying fangs, and attacked Qin Ziyun.

Qin Ziyun could even smell the fishy smell from the basilisk's mouth.

"Blast and bang!"

Qin Ziyun threw a blasting spell into the basilisk's mouth. The blow actually worked, stopping the basilisk's attack.

Qin Ziyun took advantage of this moment to quickly distance himself from him.

The basilisk has strong magic resistance, but the general rule is that the interior of the creature is generally relatively fragile.

Qin Ziyun's blow just now made the Basilisk very painful.

The deflated basilisk was even angrier, and it wanted to kill this nasty little bug even more!

But having learned the lesson from before, he swung his giant tail and hit Qin Ziyun.

"There are many obstacles!"

Qin Ziyun couldn't dodge and tried to use magic to weaken the power of this tail.

The magic worked, and the speed of the giant tail was greatly slowed down, but it still sent Eli flying a long way.

"Hahaha, I told you, don't resist. If you surrender to me now, I will let you survive. After all, such a genius is rare."

Qin Ziyun didn't want to pay attention to Tom's mean talk. He took out a few small speakers from his pocket, squeezed them gently, and suddenly a huge rooster crow sounded.

At this time, the basilisk suddenly seemed to have encountered a terrible natural enemy, and it twisted its body and retreated, roaring continuously in pain.

Tom's expression changed. He didn't expect Qin Ziyun to have this trick.

You know, the basilisk is very afraid of the crowing of the rooster, so Hagrid basically killed all the chickens raised before.

Qin Ziyun is well aware of the characteristics of snake monsters and made this prop in advance, which can make a cock crow.

The effect seemed to be beyond his expectations.

But he still didn't dare to relax, after all, this is not a real rooster, no matter how good the effect is, its effect is limited, at least it can't really hurt the basilisk!

As expected, after struggling for a while, the basilisk seemed to be immune to the sound and let out a dangerous low roar at Qin Ziyun.

The subsequent development was as described in the plot. Harry successfully took out the Gryffindor sword in the hat, stabbed the basilisk to death, and destroyed the diary with the basilisk's teeth.

One of Voldemort's Horcruxes was destroyed, and the soul in it was completely destroyed.

And Qin Ziyun came to that vast white space.

"Huh? I, Qin Ziyun, am I, dead?"

No wonder Qin Ziyun thought this way, he stared straight into the eyes of the basilisk and gave him a death stare.

"No, you just passed out."

An old voice sounded, Qin Ziyun's eyes changed slightly, and he saw a somewhat bald old man wearing gray robes standing behind him.

"Don't be afraid, child."

"Who are you?" Qin Ziyun felt that this face looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

"You should have seen my statue and know my name."

A name suddenly popped into Qin Ziyun's mind, but he felt that his idea was too absurd.

But the old man in front of him gradually overlapped with the name in his mind.

"Old...Old Head of House, Salazar Slytherin??"

"Oh, by the way, I am your old dean, Salazar Slytherin!"

The old man seemed a little excited since he hadn't spoken to anyone for hundreds of years.

Qin Ziyun only thought that he might have seen a ghost. Slytherin was a person who had been dead for thousands of years. How could he appear here again?

Slytherin seemed to see Qin Ziyun's suspicion, "Actually, I should be dead, but because of some troubles, I let my soul stay."

"Trouble? I mean...what kind of trouble can..."

Qin Ziyun could not imagine what kind of trouble could force such a legendary wizard to keep his soul.

Slytherin's face became serious, "Child, each of us is only being manipulated from birth to death. From this, divination was born to spy on the rest of our lives, but there are always people who are not willing to be controlled at will. "

"So you too?"

Slytherin nodded.

But Qin Ziyun still doesn't understand what kind of existence can control the fate of everyone in the world, and why Slytherin chooses to exist in the form of a soul until now. Is it just because he doesn't want to die?

"Then who is manipulating us?"

Qin Ziyun was a little creepy. Is everything in the world being controlled?Then aren't they acting in a play?

"grim Reaper!"

Slytherin answered quite succinctly, and his eyes were still calm.

"grim Reaper?"

This is not the first time Qin Ziyun has heard the name of the God of Death. During the winter vacation, he occasionally talked to Nick Flamel remotely and explained to him the Deathly Hallows and the power of the God of Death.

But Qin Ziyun never believed that gods really existed in this world.

Slytherin continued, "The God of Death controls people's destiny. When you are born and when you die are just a matter of his thoughts. But the God of Death is not without desires. He longs for souls and powerful souls. Throughout the ages, , he designed the deaths of countless powerful wizards and collected their souls."

"Do you know the Death Curse? It's the thing that emits green light. This is the magic created by the God of Death to collect souls and control the mind."

Qin Ziyun's image of Slytherin gradually collapsed. Is this old and ungrateful guy really Salazar Slytherin, one of the founders of Hogwarts...

"Every person killed by the Death Curse will have his soul collected by the God of Death. Every time a person who casts the Death Curse uses the Death Curse, his soul will be broken, and eventually he will gradually lose his mind. Thus being easily controlled by Death.”

Slytherin kept talking, and Qin Ziyun was also fascinated by it. These secrets were all things he had never heard before.

"There are also dementors. They don't count as beings. They are just tools sent by Death to the human world to help him absorb souls. They are extremely evil. What Death likes most are the souls of powerful wizards, such as me. He tried every means to make me die. , I will spend my whole life fighting against him."

"That basilisk is actually my Animagus. In my old age, I sealed my soul in the Animagus forever. I can never return to human form, but at least the God of Death can't do anything to me. Later, due to the shrinkage of my soul, my body continued to rely on instinct to move until I found a suitable successor for me to complete my unfinished business."

"What business?"

"Kill Death!"

Qin Ziyun was shocked by Slytherin's sudden murderous intent.

Killing the god of death, how crazy it sounds, such terrible words are said from the mouth of an old man, although he is a legendary wizard who has existed for thousands of years.

Qin Ziyun's mind was greatly shocked. The Slytherin from thousands of years ago, the God of Death who controlled life and death, and the basilisk turned out to be Slytherin himself?

It seems like that thing is almost cooked by him...

Qin Ziyun carefully distanced himself from him, fearing that the old man would suddenly say he wanted revenge.

Slytherin noticed Qin Ziyun's actions. He seemed to have the ability to see through people's hearts. "Hey, kid, is it possible that I can come to you to avenge you for killing my body?"

"No...no."

"Don't think that I don't know what you are thinking. Forget it, don't worry. My soul has been trapped in that body for too long. Now that you let me out, it can be considered a good thing. But in the future I But I’m going to stay here with you, and there’s no room fee.”

"Hmm...huh? What? Stay here with me? Where?"

Qin Ziyun's face was full of questions, and Slytherin's words made him confused.

"Of course it exists in your space. I didn't expect that someone could give birth to a blurry illusion. It's incredible!"

Slytherin looked around, amazed.

"Misty illusion? Isn't this my soul space?"

"It can also be regarded as your soul space. This is also the destination of all lost souls. You cannot move forward or backward. This is also the realm of the God of Death."

"Moreover, there seems to be an extremely mysterious power inside your body. Sometimes I can even hear sounds."

Slytherin took a deep look at Qin Ziyun.

Qin Ziyun's eyes flickered, he knew that it was the system!

Unexpectedly, Slytherin noticed it.

"I will always exist here, and the god of death will not find me. If you encounter any problems, come to me, and I will help you settle it."

At this time, Slytherin looked like a big brother who vowed to cover him, and Eli's mouth twitched when he saw it.

But now he also has a grandfather?

"Don't always act like you've never seen the world. As my heir, you have to be a little magnanimous."

"Heir? Me?"

Qin Ziyun was completely confused now. Why did I suddenly become the heir?

Am I not a Muggle?

Is it...

Qin Ziyun felt as if he had discovered something extraordinary.

"What are you thinking, you have no blood relationship with me at all"

"Then why..."

"Do you think my heirs have to be my descendants? Anyone who meets the requirements can become an heir, like that brat named Tom, who split his soul to make Horcruxes because he was afraid of death. I can feel that he is already in Under the control of the god of death, such a person is not worthy of being my successor!"

When Slytherin mentioned Voldemort, he looked disdainful.

"Then why do you say that after opening the secret room, you will come out and kill all the non-pure bloods?"

"I don't discriminate against non-pure bloods. On the contrary, non-pure bloods often have great talents. If you ask me why I target them, it starts from back then. At that time, the Holy See had been hunting wizards. Ordinary humans had no power to fight against them. Wizards fought against each other, but until some Muggle-born wizards appeared, they were loyal to the Holy See and hostile to wizards."

"Back then, we established Hogwarts to leave a pure land for wizards, but some Muggle-born wizards mixed in. They spied on information and cooperated with outsiders, which caused us great losses. So, when I completely After turning into a Basilisk, as long as someone opens the Chamber of Secrets, it means that Hogwarts is in a crisis, and I will come out to protect my school!"

Qin Ziyun was in awe of Slytherin's words, but then he thought again, "Then why did you attack those innocent classmates?"

"Oh, I told you, my soul has been hidden all this time, and this body acts purely on instinct!"

"Okay, you go, I want to rest."

Qin Ziyun was speechless for a while. It is obviously my soul space, but you treat it like your own.

"By the way, those guys in Godric should be about the same as me. If you have a chance, look for them and ask them to come and keep me company, and give you something by the way. It can be regarded as a gift from the heir."

Slytherin didn't say what it was. With a wave of his hand, Qin Ziyun felt himself retreat instantly and his consciousness returned to his body.

When Qin Ziyun opened his eyes, a smell of magic medicine hit his nose. He was in the school doctor's office.

His body felt a little tingling, and Qin Ziyun wanted to stand up.

"Oh my gosh, you should rest. Just lie down for a while..."

Madam Pomfrey rushed over immediately and pressed Qin Ziyun down.

"Madame Pomfrey, when will I be discharged from the hospital?"

"When you were sent here, you had many fractures, and your internal organs were seriously injured. I really can't imagine what happened to you. Drink these medicines quickly, lie down for a while, and you can go back at night."

Qin Ziyun drank the medicine obediently, "Well, it tastes pretty good."

Madam Pomfrey glanced at him with a look like are you a fool and left.

"Can I see him?"

"Oh Professor Dumbledore, well, but only for a while, the patient needs a good rest!"

"Okay, I'll keep an eye out, Poppy."

Seeing Dumbledore's sudden visit, Qin Ziyun wanted to straighten up again.

"No, you'd better have a good rest."

"Professor, are you back?"

Dumbledore smiled at him, "Of course, this is all thanks to you, and of course Mr. Potter and the others."

"That's what we should do."

"You don't need to be humble, this time it's really too difficult for you, confronting Tom, and there is a basilisk"

"By the way, Professor, what about Lockhart?"

Qin Ziyun suddenly thought of that guy, wondering if he was killed by mandrake.

Dumbledore raised his eyebrows, "He, according to St. Mungo's diagnosis, his brain received a strong stimulation, and it was preliminarily determined that it was the cry of the Mandrake, but he didn't die, and even the doctors felt surprise"

"Professor, why... why did you hire him to be the professor of Defense Against Dark Arts?" Qin Ziyun finally asked the question that had been bothering him for a long time.

Dumbledore coughed in embarrassment, "Actually, he was the only one who applied for the job."

Qin Ziyun: "..."

"But speaking of this, the professor of our Defense Against the Dark Arts course this semester is available again. You must know that Lockhart has not been here for a full year."

Qin Ziyun nodded. Indeed, the incident happened much earlier than in the movie. Lockhart had not stayed for a full year at all.

"What do you think of this position, Professor Qin."

"Not bad...eh?"

Qin Ziyun looked at Dumbledore, who was looking at him expectantly, with a look of horror on his face.

What the hell!

Dumbledore!

Don't you want to hurt me, old man?Knowing that this position is not an auspicious item, you still put it on me.

Dumbledore also understood Qin Ziyun's eyes and coughed again in embarrassment, "Who doesn't know that you are the best among students? Even Professor McGonagall said that you will definitely surpass her, so how can you take this position again?" It couldn’t be more appropriate.”

Why does Qin Ziyun feel that these words are exactly the same as when an old man without a nose confuses people?

"Of course you don't have to worry. I just need you to teach the remaining courses of this school year. There will naturally be new professors next semester."
