Chapter 108: More threats?

"What is it?" Asked Daphne.

"This door is still locked..." Harry glanced at the other part of the door where the locks should have connected. It was all bent and deformed.

"It looks like it was hit many times from the inside until it broke," Daphne commented.

"So that's it then!" Lyra seemed to realize something.

"The basilisk must have woken up and has been hitting that door since then. Then, it finally managed to break it open during the day of the Quidditch game!"

"Then why did it stay here?" Ginny asked.

"Huh?" Lyra tilted her head to one side. She had not thought that far ahead.

"The Quidditch game was almost three days ago. If that creature has been trying to escape for two months, why would it remain here after opening the door?" Daphne replied.

"Ah...that's right." Lyra realized.

"Maybe he just liked it here. It has been living here for like a thousand years, right?...oh, but then...why did it want to escape all of a sudden?."

"We are missing something."

Harry observed the walls of the corridor. It was filled with cracks, and they seemed very recent.

Something was definitely trying to escape the chamber, but he didn't think it was this basilisk.

"The answers should be ahead. "

He went past the circular door and ventured further until he reached the core of the chamber.

"What is this..." He needed a moment to process what he was seeing.

The three girls approached too and then...they saw it.

From between a giant crack in the ceiling, a ball of fire descended and went to attack the of the basilisks.

"Fawkes...you came to help me again." Harry smiled after recognizing the new arrival.

The basilisk on his right was now busy with the phoenix. So he could focus on the left.

"This makes things easier."

Harry used both wands to conjure six giant blades in front of him.

"Depulso!"

He flickered both wands in the basilisk direction.

The beast had just finished descending the wall when it found itself pierced by the swords. Each blade was over six feet long and became completely embedded into its flesh.

While the one on the left was dying, the one fighting the Phoenix let out a painful shriek.

Harry opened his eyes slightly and watched through the shadows as Fawkes destroyed its eyes.

Harry waited for a few more seconds until the left-side basilisk died, he then conjured a ghostly-looking hand that grabbed one of the blades from the dead creature and pointed it at the other snake.

"Move!" Harry shouted.

The Phoenix followed his command and flew up, just in time to avoid the incoming sword.

The basilisk opened its mouth and showed its fangs in an intimidating manner.

But was instead received with a blade through its skull.

The sword pierced the snake's head and embedded it in the wall, pinning the creature in the process.

Harry was now starting to feel tired.

Conjuration takes a heavy toll on one's magic, much more so than transformation.

The Phoenix cried again and flew to his side until it landed on his shoulder.

It then stared at Harry intensely, like it was trying to figure out if he was injured.

"I'm fine...thank you, my friend," Harry told the Phoenix.

"What is going on?!"

"What was that cry?!"

"Can we open our eyes now?"

The there girls were still in panic.
