Who let this Dementor into Hogwarts!

Chapter 155: Fix the wand or I'll tell my mom you're watching again

"The curse stops immediately."

Coin read to Hermione.

There was a flash of white light, and Hermione suddenly came back to life as if she hadn't been there for several days.

"Basilisk!"

' squeaked Hermione.
"I saw a basilisk—Harry? Ron? Coin? How did you—"

Only then did Hermione realize that they were at the exit of a long, dark pipe, filled with the rotten smell of the sewer.

She quickly stopped her slightly loud voice, but she saw the beautiful fiery red phoenix beside her and Lockhart lying unconscious on the ground.

"Are we in a basilisk's lair?" Hermione asked cautiously.

"Yes," said Harry, "but it's all right. The Basilisk was only compelled. The real culprit is Voldemort—"

"And Lockhart," said Ron angrily.

"But we're going to announce that we've killed the basilisk," Harry said, "because Coin is going to..."

Harry cast a questioning look at Cohen, and after getting Cohen's nod, he explained the matter to Hermione.

"Of course we're still friends, Coin." Hermione decisively answered Coin's question about his identity. "Don't worry about the bloodline issue. In fact, according to the books I've read about the origins of wizards, wizards originally gained the ability to cast spells through the blood of magical beasts, so it's not a very scary thing."

"Thank you, but it didn't bother me for long..." Cohen said, "I just felt the atmosphere was right at the time, so I wanted to imitate the plots in those comics and TV shows..."

"That's definitely cool," said Ron enviously. "It's so hard to be different, especially with your bloodline—can you turn into a basilisk? Or a unicorn?"

"Even Animagus can't turn into a magical creature, Ron," Hermione reminded helplessly.

"Armani what?" asked Ron.

"It's very difficult and dangerous to be able to transform into an animal. There are only seven Animagus registered this century." Hermione said, "Ron, Professor McGonagall has mentioned this almost twenty times in class. If you don't want to fail the final exam -"

"We have your notes, so just memorize them before the test," Ron said nonchalantly. "And I think the exams should be cancelled this semester—at least we should be exempt since we successfully dealt with the attack."

"That's great..." Harry also thought the prediction was great.

"That's too bad," said Hermione sadly.

"Do you have to have a passionate discussion in the deepest sewers of the women's restroom about whether test exemptions are 'terrible or awesome'?"

Cohen covered his face and said,

"Fox's tail is tired of sticking up."

……

Finally, they pulled Fox up through the pipe one by one. Cohen hoped that the Count would do the same, because every time the Count delivered a large package, he would complain for a long time that "the package is too heavy and I have to pay extra", even though he actually did not get any salary at all.

Sometimes, Cohen felt that the Count was like a person who could not get used to the life of a bird, but he also felt that the Count's speaking style was more like a bird that could not get used to the life of a human.

Because it is constantly expressing its dissatisfaction and criticism of the human species.

This makes it look like it really came out of a fairy tale - only creatures in fairy tales are human-like while always firmly believing in their species identity, and most animals in fairy tales can speak.

It was very similar to the backstory the Count had created for himself.

There is no such bird, or such a fairy tale, in Harry Potter.

But who knows? There is no such person as Cohen Norton in the book. Perhaps in the world of the book, in the world that Cohen did not travel to, "Cohen Norton" has never existed. Or perhaps he died in that experiment and was a poor failure.

Of course, it is also possible that Edward and Rose also tried to save "Cohen" as in this world, but ultimately failed even at the cost of their souls, resulting in Muggles living in 5 Privet Drive and Harry being the only wizard left in Little Whinging.
Fox not only brought them back to the ground, but also took them upwards to the principal's office.

The headmaster's office was packed with people today, including the Grangers, the Weasleys, and the Nortons.

Theodore Nott huddled in a chair in the corner, his eyes fixed on the foot of Dumbledore's table. Dumbledore stood smiling before the mantelpiece, and beside him stood Professor McGonagall.

"Again?"

Professor McGonagall clutched her chest with her hands and gasped for air.

"Hermione!" Mr. Granger pulled his daughter into his arms. "Oh my God, we were so scared - we heard you were kidnapped -"

"Mom and Dad, I'm fine - I won't take impulsive risks next time..." Hermione comforted her parents.

"It was you who saved Hermione, right?" Mrs. Granger looked at Cohen and the other two with gratitude. She remembered Cohen because Rose had reported on the Granger Clinic before.

"Perhaps we could learn how you managed all this?" Dumbledore asked with a smile. "It must have been a difficult and courageous feat. No second-year student has ever been able to do this before."

Because there's really only one basilisk at Hogwarts...

Cohen felt that the compliment had no practical meaning.

"Cohen, your mother almost blew up the school." Edward pulled Cohen over. "Why do you always get involved in every major event every year?"

"There's an even bigger surprise." Cohen leaned over to Edward's ear and said, "I'll tell you after the holidays."

Edward suddenly had a bad feeling.

"You're not going to say..."

"It's pretty much what you'd expect," Cohen said.

"Is there any secret that I can't hear?" Rose cast a stern look at the father and son vigilantly.

However, they didn't have much time to explain, because Harry, Cohen and Ron, as the parties involved, had to explain what happened at that time and how they found the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets.

However, the ending was modified by them - everything ended with Harry stabbing the only basilisk to death, and Voldemort escaped.

"The ghost is still there..." Edward said worriedly.

"But he didn't make it, Mr. Norton," Harry said soothingly.

At least no one was permanently hurt, with the possible exception of Filch, who was in great danger of losing his job, as the students were now clamoring for the new caretaker, Herr von Braun, to remain.

"I want to stay and talk with Cohen, is that okay?"

Dumbledore asked Edward and Rose as the parents were about to leave the headmaster's office with their children.

Cohen was left in Dumbledore's office. The parents would stay for the dinner, and since the basilisk had been dealt with, the students would not have to end the semester early.

"Is there anything you'd like to tell me, Cohen?"

Dumbledore asked Coin in a friendly manner.

"Really?" Cohen fumbled in his pocket, and then under Dumbledore's expectant gaze...

He took out the wand that was broken into two pieces.

Cohen discovered that the core of his wand was not the white unicorn hair. It was pitch black and exuded a familiar magical feeling.

The people in the lab must have secretly sold Ali's fur to make extra money.

Mr. Ollivander also accepted everything and dared to put any substance into his wand...

"Can you fix my wand for me?"

Coin asked Dumbledore.

"That's very unlikely..." Dumbledore examined the broken wand. "The extent of the damage... perhaps you could ask Mr. Ollivander in Diagon Alley?"
