"Cousin Charles?"

"Bang!"

In the crash sound again and again, Candice found that there were suddenly two more figures around her, so that she subconsciously shouted again.

"It's all right. I'm coming."

The Browns arrived in time before the huge creature outside crashed into the passage. Charles, whose back was facing the arch, was trying to look back after comforting his cousin, but his wife held his head with a backhand.

"Don't look back..."

Unlike her husband, Christine was almost facing the door opening because of their position and orientation before starting the door key.

So as soon as she appeared here, she was involuntarily attracted by the huge creature that was hitting the hole outside the door.

And almost at that moment, her eyes crossed the darkness and immediately aligned with the cold and ruthless vertical pupil.

Suddenly, Christine felt her heart was about to rush out of her throat and beat suddenly. There is no doubt that this is the strongest palpitation she has ever experienced since she was a child.

The next second, before she could fully react, the palpitation disappeared again. And what disappeared at the same time as the beating of the heart was the consciousness in her mind.

Are you dying? Was killed by the huge snake pupil without warning?

No, the husband is behind!

Charles has been unreliable since he was on the Quidditch team. He often needs his own reminder to avoid mistakes. Therefore, this time she should at least do her duty as a wife

At least, he should be reminded!

"... don't look back, it's... Snake monster."

In his wife Christine's inexplicably weak tone, Charles was stunned and then anxious. Because he knew how terrible the extremely dangerous magical creature "snake monster" was.

Did... Did they have to face the separation of life and death as soon as they arrived?

Soon, there was a "plop", and his wife Christine fell powerlessly on the dusty ground.

"Christine!"

When Charles linked the word "snake monster" with his wife's fall in an instant, the anger in his heart took over his mind before fear.

But in the next moment, Candice on the ground stretched out her little hand and grabbed the hem of Charles's wizard's robe.

"... cousin."

Finally, the impatient Charles habitually listened to his wife's warning and did not try to turn back. Because if it's really a snake monster, if both of them get caught - the sacrifice of his wife is meaningless.

"Don't be afraid, I'll take you now!"

"Bang!"

Hearing the slightly paused crash sound in the back, Charles quickly pulled out his wand and hurried to the other end of the corridor with three people who couldn't get up with the floating spell.

He can't look back and won't look back.

Even though he really wants to avenge his wife now... Well, if he didn't have these two children, he might really fight for it?

But now, he still chose to run away.

No way. Charles is a typical hutch patch. Although he would not lack courage, if he had to choose between the life of his relatives and friends and the anger of revenge, he would still choose the former

It didn't take much time to cross the corridor. After turning into a circular passage, they naturally got out of the sight of the basilisk.

The Basilisk is too big. Although there are many places in the London sewer, there are still many passages that are difficult for each other to squeeze through.

Of course, the premise is that the Basilisk doesn't do his best!

"Boom -"

Somehow, Charles suddenly heard a loud noise in the corridor.

In fact, just after Charles took the three to the waterway, the Basilisk on the other side suddenly stopped hitting the door opening just now.

But he saw that he "hissed" his tongue twice in place, turned his head sideways, looked into the arch with a huge snake eye, and then jerked his body, as if to vent his anger, and pulled his tail vigorously at the edge of the door opening.

At that time, a large piece of brick was pulled to pieces, and countless gravel and soil buried most of the corridor.

Obviously, its impact just now didn't seem to use enough strength at all, otherwise it might have been forced into the aisle by it.

Then the giant snake freak who collapsed the corridor turned his head again and swam straight forward into the deeper darkness.

Charles, who did not see this inexplicable scene, was making a preliminary inspection for his wife - whether Christine had been killed by the deadly eyes of the Basilisk or not, he would not give up.

Charles and Christine have only been married for three years. Now is the happiest time for them.

In fact, he and his wife have been thinking about having a child recently. Even a few years ago, out of consideration of the chaotic situation, they decided to regenerate later three years ago, but after the death of Voldemort and greenward, there was another Haier wave.

After three years of waiting, they can't wait any longer.

But now... Charles and Christine, a young couple, don't have to worry about their children anymore.

"Christine..."

Charles hurriedly examined his wife in unparalleled anxiety, and then he held her tightly in his arms.

"Damn... Where is this place? Sewer? Why are there snake monsters here..."

In the murmur mixed with sobs, Charles did not forget to wave his wand and summoned two children who did not know when they fell into a coma to his side.

Then he took out a door key that had not been used for a long time and decisively started it.

In an instant, these four embarrassed figures disappeared in a burst of spatial fluctuations. Until a moment later, the other end of the waterway shook again, and the snake monster quickly swam here in the twinkling of an eye.

"Hiss, hiss..."

Scarlet and forked tongue, fluffing and puffing in the dark.

……

Charles started it. Of course, it was the door key that Marca left him a long time ago - in fact, including the silver bracelet he was wearing and the necklace of his cousin Candice, which are also one of the gadgets that Marca entrusted him to the black market.

As a "middleman", he just intercepted the original price of the goods on the way.

Unfortunately, things are good things, but this time Christine lost her life. Now, he doesn't know whether to regret it or something else.

Suddenly, four figures suddenly appeared outside Hogwarts, and then one by one fell on his back or on his stomach on the soft grass.

Charles quickly got up and looked around. When he saw Hogwarts castle, he knew that the magic of prohibiting space movement in the school must have excluded him from the outside.

At the moment, Maka should be somewhere on campus.

After making a judgment as soon as possible, Charles immediately took the three people along the outer wall of the school to the direction of the school gate without hesitation.

Yes, even if he had checked his wife himself, he knew that his wife's body had already lost its vitality. But at the thought of Marca's miraculous magic in the past, he couldn't help but give birth to a little hope.

What if Marca can get Christine back? What if there's another way?

Hogwarts's school gate was closed, with several protective spells set by Professor flavy attached to it. On both sides inside and outside the school gate, there are several family wizards from brova fort, France on duty.

When Charles came to the school gate, he was also stopped.

"This is Hogwarts School of witchcraft and Wizardry. If you have an appointment, please show me the relevant letter."

Charles has not returned to school for three years since graduation. Naturally, he will not know many changes in Hogwarts in recent years.

When he saw that there were wizards guarding the door, and it seemed that each one was very powerful, his first reaction was to be relieved.

We also have deep feelings for Hogwarts, Charles and Christine. It is naturally a happy thing that the school can grow.

Of course, now he is not in the mood to care more about these.

"I'm an alumnus of Hogwarts. I'm looking for Professor Marca McLean... My wife has an accident and needs his help!"

"Just a moment, please."

The English speaking guard nodded and then motioned to another companion in the door. The latter saw it and immediately turned to the castle.

Marca's name, of course, they can't be more familiar.

"If Mr. McLean doesn't have anything important, he should come soon. Please wait here for a moment, sir."

A little stiff English, but also with a sense of business rigor. This attitude would only make everyone feel at ease if it was put at ordinary times, but it became more and more painful in Charles's ears.

At present, every minute and every second may be related to whether Christine is still saved, which really makes him unable to relax for a moment.

Moreover, the state of the two children seems not very good, especially the boy as old as his cousin. His breathing has become more and more vain and slight.

But just then, a figure suddenly flew from the direction of the castle, and then stopped steadily in front of the school gate. Almost at the same time, the school gate with a magic spell opened slowly.

"Charles, bring them in!"

Although the brova Castle wizard who just went to find him didn't understand English, Maka seemed to know that he came to find himself. She waved and let Charles pass.

But just glancing at Charles, he frowned and said:

"Christine... Has gone."
