When Harry and Ron finally landed, they were stuck in a stalemate.

"The adventure ends here, children." Lockhart was in a dishevel, with messy hair and dirty face.

When Theodore followed Lockhart down, he was unable to recognize his surroundings due to the darkness. He was kicked to the ground just as he stood firmly. Lockhart snatched his wand and stepped on Theodore's back with all his strength. Theodore was unable to carry the weight of an adult and was pinned to the ground by Lockhart, unable to break free.

When Bryce came out of the pipe, Lockhart cast another spell on him, and he slammed into the wall. The rubble fell and hit him. Bryce felt a terrible pain in one side of his shoulder, and blood flowed down his arm and dripped onto the ground.

When Harry and Ron came down, they saw Lockhart stepping on Theodore, Blaise lighting the "fluorescent flickering" with his wand in his left hand, and Draco struggling to support Blaise while confronting Lockhart.

"Potter, how long are you going to stay like this? Do something!" Draco shouted at Harry.

"Stand there! Don't move!" Lockhart threatened, "Although I am incompetent, it is still easy for me to deal with you little brats."

"remove……"

"Don't forget that he is still in my hands." Lockhart interrupted Harry's spell, picked up Theodore from the ground and stood in front of him.

Harry was suddenly at a loss as to what to do. He looked at Draco, not knowing how to react.

"Despicable! You're holding Nott's heir hostage. Don't you want to live?" Draco said.

"So what? Look at the corpses all over the ground. I just need one person to go out and tell them that the children couldn't accept the unrecognizable body of the girl and became mentally disturbed. The brave and fearless Professor Lockhart fought hard to save several poor children from the giant snake. But unfortunately, they lost their memories."

Lockhart smiled evilly, Blaise glanced at Draco, and the two exchanged glances secretly.

"Leave me alone!" Theodore shouted at Draco.

"You know, what I am best at is the spell of forgetfulness. So, now, I say goodbye to your memories."

Lockhart raised his wand high and was about to cast a spell when Blaise stopped maintaining the "fluorescent flashing" all the time. In an instant, darkness enveloped the bottom of the pipe like a tide.

Suddenly there was a muffled sound and Lockhart's scream was heard. Blaise sat on the ground and the tip of his wand lit up again. Draco took advantage of the darkness and rushed towards Lockhart. Lockhart, who was not paying attention for a moment, was hit hard and let go of Theodore and sat on the ground. Theodore also reacted instantly, and when the light came on, he quickly pulled Draco, who had fallen to the ground, away from Lockhart.

"Potter!" Draco shouted.

"Expelliarmus!" Harry remained in a fighting posture. He noticed the movements of Draco and Blaise, so the momentary darkness did not throw him off balance. At the same time Draco left, a Disarming Spell flew out from Harry's wand and headed straight for Lockhart.

Theodore's wand returned to his hand, and they conjured a rope to tie Lockhart's hands directly.

"At least... you're not holding us back, Potter." Draco glanced at Harry and said reluctantly.

"Uh... you're welcome?" Harry answered him.

"Who thanked you? You're just being sentimental!" Draco exploded.

Harry looked at Ron in confusion. Ron spread his hands and shrugged: Don't look at me, he's like that.

"Brace, are you okay?" Theodore walked over and squatted in front of Brace.

"Ah, not so wonderful. I didn't fall like this the first time I rode a broom." Blaise frowned, his right hand almost numb from the pain. "I don't know what kind of magic he cast, I just felt like I was hammered against the wall by a thousand-pound stone."

"How is it?" Draco also came over and asked Theodore about the examination.

"Have any of you learned any healing spells? 'Heal as New' can only help him stop the bleeding." Theodore turned his head and asked.

This was the longest sentence Harry and Ron had heard Theodore say that night.

However, both Harry and the other one shook their heads, they hadn't even learned the "Heal as New", let alone any other healing magic. Harry thought that he must practice the spells in the "Super Practical Spells Encyclopedia" that Hermione gave him when he got back.

"Blaise needs to go out for treatment." Theodore looked at Draco.

"This is the only entrance we came from. Judging from the way we came down, I can guarantee that this is definitely not within the boundaries of Hogwarts," Ron reminded.

"It's possible that it's at the bottom of the lake, but we can't get in touch with the outside world," Harry added.

"Damn it." Draco turned around suddenly and grabbed Lockhart by the collar. "You! Treat him quickly!"

"I...I won't..."

"You hurt him! How could you not know how to use either counter-curse or healing?" Draco was furious.

"Draco, you looked like that and I thought I was going to die. Besides, even if he could, I wouldn't dare let him treat me." Blaise smiled heartlessly at Draco.

Harry suddenly felt a dull pain in his arm where the bones had been pulled out, and he touched it unconsciously.

"Can we still go? Let's go ahead and look, maybe there is an exit." Harry suggested to them.

Draco looked at Blaise's injuries and felt a little guilty. If he hadn't called Blaise over, Blaise wouldn't have been injured like this.

"That's it." Blaise stood up with the help of Theodore. "Draco, I'm a drag now, please don't despise me." He looked at Draco and said.

"Brace, it's all my fault..."

"Hey, Draco, let's go, Reina is waiting for us." Blaise interrupted Draco, he shook his head and chuckled.

Harry walked to the entrance of the passage and shone his wand. The road ahead was still endless.

Theodore carefully supported Blaise and walked forward. Draco walked on the other side of Blaise, following behind Harry and Ron. The magical fluorescence cast their shadows on the wall. The pipe was even quieter than a wild grave, with only the occasional clicking sound when something was stepped on.

Harry lowered his wand and checked the floor, which was littered with the skeletons of small animals. Seeing this, coupled with Lockhart's previous words "unrecognizable skeletons", no one dared to imagine what Rena would encounter or what would become of her.

Harry led the way. "If you hear any strange noises, you must close your eyes and run away immediately. Looking directly into the eyes of the basilisk will kill you."

"Killed? Why were the cat and Miss Know-It-All just petrified?" Draco asked.

Although it sounded strange, Harry explained it anyway.

"When Mrs. Norris got into trouble, the ground was covered with water. Her sight was very low, and it is very likely that she saw it through her reflection in the water, so she was just petrified."
