Professor, you looked at me...

The passage from the ninth floor to the tenth floor was very long, even reaching the legendary tenth floor even after Rex and Snape walked for more than ten minutes.

"Are you sure it's here?" Snape couldn't help frowning. Rex had already told him the general situation when he was going up the stairs, so he now realized the seriousness of the problem—a person who could The people who run Hogwarts, and they're inside Hogwarts now!

"No way, we can only choose to believe him." Rex squeezed Snape's hand, signaling him to feel relieved, "Looking at him, Harry is not dead yet, and the person who came to inform me must be I know how difficult it is to go to the eleventh floor, so when he said that if I don’t go to Harry, I will die, he should have already counted the time we went up to the eleventh floor.”

"But what about the Mirror of Erised?" Snape frowned. "How does a mirror take human form?"

"I don't know," said Rex, "but the Mirror of Erised holds souls—didn't Harry live in it—so it's quite possible that some soul entered the Mirror of Erised and controlled mirror."

Snape thought about this possibility, and said, "It makes sense in theory, but it shouldn't be practical."

"Who knows," Rex held Snape's hand and continued to walk up, "ask Dumbledore when Harry is rescued, he is the one who should be bothered about this anyway. "

Snape thought for a while, and echoed in a rare way: "It makes sense." If he didn't give the old bee something to worry about, I don't know how many weird things he would have to teach this little bastard!Must be on guard.

……

Dumbledore, who was worrying about the two in the principal's office: Ahhh~

……

The two walked for a while, but the stairs still seemed to have no end, so they simply stopped.

"Is there no light here?" Snape reached out and touched the wall, trying to find a place to put the torch, but obviously, he failed.

"Yes, yes..." Rex's voice sounded in the darkness, with a little joy, "but you have to kiss me first~" Since Snape took the initiative to kiss him just now, Rex Snape fell in love with the plan to have Snape offer to kiss himself ten thousand times.

"..."

The flushed Professor Snape suddenly felt that the lack of light was a very good thing.

"Sev, you..."

Rex's words were interrupted by a strange sound. This time, without Snape taking the initiative to offer a kiss, he consciously condensed a little light, illuminating the distance half a meter in front of the two of them.

— nothing.

Snape tried to focus on his ears, his brain was spinning rapidly, thinking about what the voice just appeared...

"Does it sound like something falling on the ground? Beans?" Rex raised his hand to take pictures of the surroundings, but the corridor is still a corridor, nothing has changed.

"So there will be a lot of beans rolling over to attack us in a while?" Snape was obviously skeptical of Rex's imagination, and was still thinking about what kind of magic or magical creature could make such a sound... …

—Damn Merlin!This really doesn't seem like something you'd encounter at Hogwarts!

"Anyway, now is not the time to walk up slowly," Rex put out the light in his hand, and moved in front of Snape, and the seven tentacles in his navel rushed out. Come out, get into Snape's clothes and wrap around his waist, then fly up again holding Snape, "Hurry up like this, Sev, if you feel uncomfortable, hug me!"

Rex was still on Harry's skin, so he was only as tall as Snape's chest, and it looked weird holding Snape up.

——But it doesn't matter, anyway, it's pitch black here, and no one can see the two of them.

"You..." Snape awkwardly adjusted his posture in mid-air. This hugging posture made him very uncomfortable, but there was no way it could be done. It was indeed much faster for Rex to fly with the two of them than to walk.It's just that if he didn't hold Rex in such a posture, his whole body would be strained, which was very uncomfortable.And holding Rex... He, Severus Snape, had never been held in such a protective position in his life!

"Sev, do you want light?" Rex asked cautiously.After all, the current situation is that the enemy is in the dark, and if they are flying around with lights on, they are really a moving target.

Snape naturally understood Rex's concerns, so after pondering for a moment, he said decisively, "No, can you see the environment here?" Snape couldn't help hugging Rex's alien eyes. have fantasies.

"No," Rex said, "only my body is mine, and other things, such as hearing, sight, smell and taste, belong to the earthlings. Unless I can get out of this body, otherwise I will be an ordinary person." Earthling."

This time Snape was silent for a longer time, "What's the matter with you now?"

"I don't know," Rex said honestly, "I feel like my body and soul are trapped in Harry's body, but I don't know how to get out. Harry's body is fighting with mine. Body fusion - otherwise I would not be able to expose my tentacles - but I think this is not a good phenomenon, after all, Harry's soul is still alive, he also needs this body, so the best way now is to put I get out of this body, or I might assimilate Harry's body."

Snape didn't speak, he was thinking about the solution to this situation - after all, it's not good for Rex or Harry if it goes on like this!

……

"Sev..." Rex's heartbeat was a little faster than usual, and the hand holding Snape clenched into a fist unconsciously, trying to control his voice to make himself look more relaxed, "Wait Let's save Harry this time... let's get married!"

……

"Huh?" Snape didn't turn his head around for a moment, and it took three seconds to realize what Rex was saying, his cheeks were instantly flushed, and he said, "You..."

But he couldn't finish his sentence, because Rex moved quickly to the right with him in his arms, and slammed into the wall on the right with a bang, even Snape, who was protected by Rex in the middle, was slammed The ground bumped, let alone Rex.

"How are you?" Snape grabbed Rex's hand almost immediately, his voice trembling with tension, "Speak!"

"I'm fine," Rex's tentacles adjusted, allowing Snape some room to move freely, but still wrapped around Snape's body, "Sev, we've touched those beans."

"What?" Snape was taken aback. He was thinking more often just now, and the sudden blow made all his attention focus on Rex, so that he didn't notice it until now. The rattling sound I heard just now appeared again, and this time it was much clearer than last time!

Snape's scalp was almost numb because the voice sounded like it was moving rapidly in their direction!

"What the hell is this?" Rex's voice sounded a little irritated, "Hogwarts still has such a pet?!"

"Impossible," Snape replied without hesitation, "If it was raised by Hogwarts, then there's no way Dumbledore didn't know about it!"

"Does Dumbledore know about the basilisk in the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets?" Rex said sharply.

Snape's breath caught.

During the Cold War before, in order to ease the relationship between the two, Rex told Snape everything in detail like a story. Although Snape already knew the general situation, but this time Rex still added a lot of details that were not mentioned before, giving him more understanding of the whole thing.

"And," Rex's voice became a little low, and Snape couldn't help but tighten Rex's hand, "Do you really still believe in Hogwarts?"

……

Snape didn't answer, because he found his answer horrifying even for him.

——Hogwarts, once regarded as home, has now become full of crises. This feeling is really not a good feeling.

"Never knew that Hogwarts had nine floors, but now we are on the stairs leading to the tenth floor," Rex continued, "Our understanding of Hogwarts has been subverted, and If Slytherin 1000 years ago could raise a basilisk that big in Hogwarts, why couldn't other people raise something else in Hogwarts?"

"But what else can live for 1000 years like the basilisk?" Snape retorted, "And, if this thing is really left behind by someone from 1000 years ago... whoever took Potter knew?"

"The heir?" Rex began to guess aimlessly, "Why did you show up at this time? And why did you take Harry away? Damn it! I knew it was him just now! I didn't ask anything useful! "

"It doesn't matter." The rattling sound in the ear was getting closer and closer. What happened to Hogwarts is no longer within the scope of the two of them. The most urgent thing now is how to get out of here alive." Can you see that thing as it appears?"

"I'll try." Rex condensed a dim light on his ten fingers so that he could see a wider range, and he retracted the tentacles on Snape's waist.

Snape drew his wand, his eyes fixed on the stairs ahead.

In the next second, a huge thing rushed straight down from the stairs, shaking the whole stairs!
