Chapter 170: 170. The Hole

*POP*

Magnus returned to his dorm room in Hogwarts. Ragnar and Severus were waiting for him there, all ready to head to the adventure.

"Did you get the rooster?" Magus asked them.

"See for yourself," Severus replied and pointed to the bed. There, Chad and Summer were curiously looking at the Rooster.

"Well, our preparations are complete it seems. Summer, Chad and Rooster, get inside this suitcase. Duck is also there." he ordered the three.

*KNOCK KNOCK*

Magnus quickly hid the suitcase under the bed and opened the door. Emma stood on the other side, "I made the pancakes as promised. Ta-da..."

She showed Magnus a plate covered with a lid. The mouth-watering aroma was already piercing Magnus' nose.

"Come later, Emma, we have some work to do..." Ragnar tried to send her way.

But, before Emma could get angry, Magnus took the plate, "We can always wait. No need to let the pancakes cool down."

~Of course, now we can wait.~ Severus muttered to himself.

Emma silently stood at the side of the table. She had been up all night, trying to perfect her pancakes. She followed the recipe exactly as written by Grace. But it still took her some time to make them look the best. She also had to send an owl to her dad to send maple syrup as soon as possible.

She was confident, but nervous too.

Magnus calmly sat by his study table and lifted the lid. Immediately, the aroma of pancakes flooded his face in the form of steam. "Ah... this is what spring smells like. So tasty."

"Okay, let's dig in." He happily held the knife and fork. But first, he did pour some syrup on the side.

Then, he cut the steaming hot pancakes. It was smooth, telling that the quality of the pancake was top notch.

He finally took a bite and chewed it for a long time with his eyes closed. Even Emma had her eyes closed.

Then, *BOOM*

Magnus' eyes shot open as if he had reached the enlightenment of Buddha. But this was Pancake Enlightenment.

Next thing, the loud noise of spoons and plate clanking noise started to come.

Emma opened her eyes slightly and saw the scene. The plate was empty, so clean that it looked as if there wasn't anything in the first place.

*PAT PAT*

Magnus suddenly got up and patted her head, "Good job, Emma. You made very good pancakes, much better than the bland batter I eat every day in the school."

Finally, she took a sigh of relief and cheered, "YEEESSSS... I won the bet!"

Magnus just remembered he had made a bet too, and he didn't want to lose it. But he was so lost in the taste that he forgot to deny Emma that the pancakes were good. But how could he cheat with his favourite food? A good pancake deserves to be admired.

"Boys, let's go, we got work." Magnus tried to slide away silently.

"No no... you lost the bet, now you must give me flying lessons." She caught his robes.

"Tsk... fine, let's meet on Sunday. Ragnar sucks at flying too, I will teach him at the same time." Magnus decided.

"YES! I will go back and clean my broom. Bye-bye..." She happily chirped and skipped away.

But, just as she was gone, Severus realised something and loudly exclaimed, "WAIT! How did she get inside the boys dorms?"

"You can't go in the girl's dorms?" Ragnar inquired, hearing about this for the first time.

Magnus shook his head, "No, if you try to you will be magically thrown away, also the house head will be notified."

"Then... this means the rule is only applicable for their dorms. Anybody can enter the boys' dorms? Isn't this dumb?" Ragnar asked.

"It is dumb, I will ask Dumbledore later about this. What happened to gender equality? Rules should be the same for all." Magnus muttered. He could have avoided the bet if that was the case.

"Anyway, let's go to the chamber," Ragnar interjected and started walking away.

But when Magnus lifted the suitcase, he stopped, "Umm... let's go in the night. I don't think it'll be easy to sneak out with this suitcase and all the students in the common room."

They nodded in agreement and waited till night.

...

11 PM

Almost everybody was sleeping by now. So the three slowly sneaked out. To them, reaching the 1st floor was easy, as the stairs were not far away from their dungeon.

Magnus was in the lead as he had very good ears. Only Filch moved around at this time of the night.

It took them just 15 minutes to reach the bathroom and as soon as they were inside they were safe. The only person to disturb them here was Myrtle, but she was ignored.

Magnus went ahead and opened the entrance. He didn't know if this was the entrance to Chamber of Secrets though. For all he knew, it could be a sewage entrance for someone to clean. But monsters don't come out of sewage and kill people. But again, this was not a normal world.

Magnus took out his expansion pouch and brought out 3 brooms. "Let's go, hopefully, it won't be a pile of sewage water waiting for us there."

Ragnar stood beside the hole and looked down, his heartbeat fastened, "Oh man, why did I agree to do this. I could have been sleeping right now."

Severus also looked down, and his eyes widened too, but he was a master of hiding emotions and didn't let his fear appear.

"We should check how deep it is first," Severus suggested.

"But how? Throwing fire in sewage is like making a bomb. Someone has to go down and check. Someone who can fly and..."

Their heads turned to a particularly translucent ghost in the bathroom.

Myrtle was just looking inside the hole after gathering some courage. But then she noticed the eyes on her.

"NO NO NO... NEVER! Are you crazy? Go away, stupid boys." She backed away and tried to fly to her toilet booth and hide.

"Come on, Myrtle, just tell us how deep it goes, that's it. We don't want you to go deeper." Magnus tried to convince her.

She shrank back in fear, "Why would I? I barely know you, and it's so dark there, what if I die?"

-__-

"You're already dead," Ragnar reminded her.

"Come on, Myrtle. Okay, if you do this, I will do you a favour. Whatever you ask for." Magnus offered her.

"Anything?" She asked back.

Magnus felt alarms ringing in his head, "What exactly do you want?"

"I WANT YOU TO KILL OLIVE HORNBY! He used to bully poor me," she shouted in a very high pitched voice.

Magnus, Ragnar and Severus' shoulders fell in disappointment. Without even looking at her, Magnus went to the edge of the hole, "Let's go, guys. She's useless to us. I'll jump first!"

"YOU CALLED ME USELESS?! HOW DARE YOU!" She seethed in rage and flew after Magnus.

But, too bad for her, as soon as she reached, Magnus jumped down with his broom.

"UH-OH!" Myrtle muttered with regret. She just realised that ghosts couldn't fly as high as she thought.

"AAAAAAA...."

She started falling down in the hole too.

"How can she be so dumb? I thought people with glasses were supposed to be smart." Ragnar facepalmed seeing her stupidity.

...

Magnus, who had jumped down, was on the edge of his mind, trying to see what was down there. On top of that, he couldn't really manoeuvre his broom that well in such a tight space, and due to that it was falling very fast.

He was so focused looking down that he didn't even see up. And then all of a sudden a loud Banshee scream resounded near his ear.

"MUMMY! What was that?" Magnus got spooked, goosebumps rose on his skin.

"SAVE MEeeeee....."

That was all Magnus heard and soon the figure of Myrtle was seen falling down as she passed him.

Realising it was her, Magnus shrugged it off and focused on slowly descending. He cast a Lumos spell and made it project light downward, so at least he'd know when the ground was coming.

But it was taking too long and his heart was feeling restless. ~Salazar really loved holes it seems, what else can you expect from a snake?~

"AH! Finally..." The light finally bounced off the surface. Immediately he realised it was a bend in the pipe.

*WOOSH*

He came out of the giant pipe, but he didn't step down. He looked around, it was truly a sewage. But it was full of mouse skeletons and there was also a disgusting smell.

"I would have been fine if I had jumped down, well all except falling on this disgusting garbage. Hehehe but..." Magnus's face grew an evil smile as a plan formed in his head.

He went back to the pipe and used Sonorus charm to loudly call Ragnar and Severus.

"JUMP DOWN, There is a bend here, you won't get hurt." He suggested and he was not lying either.

Magnus waited for a second and soon heard loud intensifying screams of Severus and Ragnar.

"aaaaaaAAAAAAA... *POOF*" With great speed they fell out of the pipe.

*SNIFF SNIFF*

Ragnar was the first to look down. And immediately his nose shrank.

"Hehe... how was the slide?" Magnus asked them from on top of a broom, looking all clean.

"BASTARD! HERE! take this." Ragnar raged and started throwing the garbage on Magnus.

Severus was also angry, but with a plain face, he used a levitation spell and showered Magnus with trash.

"COME ON! It was a joke." Magnus tried to save himself, but to no avail, he was also dirty in the end.

Chapter 171: 171. Pride, Pain and Power

"Where the hell are we? This place looks more like a graveyard." Ragnar wondered.

"Yeah, graveyard of mice." Magnus sarcastically replied.

Severus looked around, "Where did Myrtle go? I don't think she will be able to return without our help."

Magnus grunted in annoyance, "When I asked her, she didn't come, now she's lost. I hope she does not find her killer first."

So, they started looking around, to find a way. It was obviously a very old unused sewage route, as there was rarely any water there, and only dirt and more mouse skeletons were around.

"MAGNUS! Look, isn't this snakeskin?" Ragnar saw a big structure, which initially seemed like a natural forming but when he saw the head they realised its reality.

Magnus stopped to admire it, "It's a pretty big snake. That Salazar really didn't leave any stones unturned to make sure the world hated him."

"Well, we got our little dragon Magnus to fight this big snake, I'm sure we will win." Ragnar jokingly said. Magnus hated this name.

"Heh, of course, I will defeat this snake." Magnus boasted as he felt he had made a foolproof plan to deal with the basilisk.

After walking for a few minutes, Magnus and the others arrived at a big iron door, it was closed and had a snake pattern on it everywhere.

"OPEN..." Magnus said in the Dragontongue. Quickly the snake pattern started to move, depicting that the lock was opening with loud metal sounds.

"Didn't Salazar know that there are people in India who can also speak parseltongue? What if a student from there opened this place?" Ragnar wondered.

"I read that these parseltongue speakers are mostly scattered tribes and they don't really mingle with the mainstream magical community. So I don't think there is any way they would come to this school." Magnus reasoned.

*CHE-CHE..." With a metallic screeching sound, the door opened. Magnus walked forward to see what was beyond, and it was breathtaking. Calling it the Giant hall of Narcissism would have been better. There were so many head sculptures of Salazar Slytherin. The man was self-obsessed to the limit.

But, putting it all aside, he finally saw the snake. It was silently sleeping in the middle of the hall. "Let's see if it's awake."

Magnus picked up a stone from where he was standing and threw it at the snake.

*BAM*

It directly hit the head. But the snake didn't even move.

He took a sigh of relief, "So my theory was right. These Snakes are supposed to live only for a few hundred years. The fact it's still alive means it was in some kind of comatose state. The last time it wreaked havoc was in 42-43. Since then, someone has put it in this state again.

Let's go, first deal with its eyes." Magnus proceeded to go down towards the hall.

Warily, Ragnar and Severus also followed. Magnus fearless went very close to it. It didn't even feel like it was breathing, it just existed there. But it was terrifying, its big head and spikes over the front were scary enough. The jaw was big enough to swallow them whole too.

Without wasting any time, Magnus took out the glasses with straps he had made. It was like ski goggles. They had black glasses and didn't let anybody see inside. This would make sure nobody can look into Basilisk's eyes.

To Ragnar and Severus' shock, Magnus jumped onto the head of Basilisk and started to put it on. Its strap was made of strong rubber. This way the strap would forever stay in position unless purposefully taken off. Even the glass was magically reinforced to withstand heavy force.

It took him about 15 minutes to completely put it on, tightly tying it around the head of Basilisk.

"Ta-daaa... This way, we can look at him and still not get affected. Well, yeah his eyes will be worthless now but that's a plus for us." Magnus muttered and got down from it.

He stood right in front of the head and looked at his friends in pride, "What do you think? Isn't this an amazing creation of mine? Let's wake him up."

Magnus knew he needed to communicate with the snake in order to make it follow his command, but it wouldn't be possible without waking it. Also, he couldn't use legilimency on it, because he needed to look in the eyes for that and here, he'd rather not do that.

But, amidst all this self-thinking, he failed to hear some very serious warnings.

"MAGNUS...RUN!" Suddenly Ragnar shouted.

Magnus, confused, looked back. The giant snake had somehow woken up now, and it shook his head to get the weird thing off of his face. He could still see though, just barely.

He noticed Magnus right in front of him and went into attack mode. He threw his head at Magnus at a very fast speed.

"HISSSSS... GRAAAAAAAA..."

*BAM*

Before Magnus could even react, the Snake had seamlessly bit Magnus' arm, though Magnus was able to make sure it did not bite his head. But the bite was strong and the snake lifted him in the air, then it started yanking him like a ragdoll.

Left, right, left, right. Magnus shouted as the painful rollercoaster ride wasn't coming to an end. Seeing no other way, he took out a wand from inside his pocket, then transferred it to the hand still stuck in the mouth.

"BOMBARDA MAXIMA!"

*BOOM*

The loud explosion occurred right in the mouth of the snake, dark red flames came out of it. But, it didn't have too much effect on it. But Magnus was freed from the jaws of the snake.

"BLOODY MAGIC RESISTANCE!" he cursed, seeing how strong the snake was.

He fell to the ground with a thud. His left arm was heavily injured and it was oozing blood, plus the venom was burning his skin and rotting the wound, turning it black. If he did not heal it would spread around his body and he'd die a very painful death.

Magnus was in real pain right now and knew he had to do something quickly or he won't win this. He bit his teeth and ran to his suitcase to open it. Severus and Ragnar seemed frozen.

"STOP STANDING AND DO SOMETHING!" Magnus shouted at them.

Ragnar stepped out of his fear and took out a big flask from his robes and threw it at the floor from where the snake was supposed to come.

It was some kind of a green liquid. It spread around everywhere on the floor. The snake didn't even see it and continued on to it.

"SEVERUS! FIRE!" Ragnar shouted.

"Incendio!" Severus sent it to the green liquid, and soon enough it all caught fire, with the Basilisk in the middle of it. The fire was green and very hot.

"HAAAA..." It hissed in pain, but it was still moving towards them frantically.

"MAGNUS! Get that rooster out quick." Ragnar reminded him.

Magnus was just using one hand now so it was taking him some time. But, he was having trouble finding the rooster.

"Where did the rooster go?" He asked Duck, looking at Magnus from inside the case.

Duck just made the chewing action and it was now clear. Duck had eaten the rooster.

"Ah, you fools. Come out now and help me fight the Basilisk." He called Duck out. But Chad and Summer also followed, though as soon as they saw the crazed snake they just kept their heads out of the suitcase and looked at everything.

Meanwhile, Duck with a powerful mighty roar flew out of it and landed in front of Magnus.

The first thing it noticed was the heavily injured arm of Magnus. "QUACK?"

Duck was very concerned for him and quickly looked at the wound from close. His eyes showed his worry that something bad might happen.

*Pat Pat*

"You just hold off the snake, I will heal myself in no time," Magnus tapped on Duck's nose and made him focus on the enemy.

Duck nodded and looked back at the Basilisk, anger raging in Duck's heart, seemingly saying, "HOW DARE YOU HURT MY DAD?"

*ROOOAR*

His heavy booming roar was so loud it made a few statues of Salazar break down from the sound waves. The Basilisk finally stopped in its tracks, seeing a worthy and life-threatening opponent.

But the Basilisk was not that dumb either, it knew that on a dragon, its best weapon was its eyes. Salazar had taught him this much.

So the Basilisk changed his direction and ran to a wall. *BOOM* It slammed its head on it, trying to break the object covering his eyes.

*BAM*

*Crack*

Cracks started to appear on it. *BAM* It took just one more slam and it shattered in pieces. Its yellow eyes were now clear for all to see.

"DON'T LOOK IN THE EYES!" Magnus reminded everyone loudly.

Summer and Chad scaredly ducked inside the suitcase, Ragnar and Severus started looking at their feet. Magnus too looked down.

But Duck was still there, proudly standing in front of the snake, seemingly looking down on this Basilisk.
