A Song of Ice and Fire: The Magic Empire of the Plane Where the Song Begins

The hat that Dumbledore took out was the sorting hat.

Back then, the sorting hat was the hat of Gryffindor himself. The four founders cast magic together, leaving behind the function of sorting students into colleges.

Every time a freshman is assigned to a school, the hat has to appear once, and the rest of the year is spent in the cabinet in the principal's office thinking about the opening remarks for next year.

When putting the sorting hat on a newborn child, it is basically put on the eye position. It seems that Gryffindor also had a big head when he was alive.

As an important item of Gryffindor himself, the sorting hat has been enchanted and is connected to another relic of Gryffindor, which is Gryffindor's sword.

Only a truly Gryffindor-trained person could draw the Gryffindor sword straight from the hat.

In the thousand-year history of Hogwarts, many Gryffindor students have come into contact with the Gryffindor sword through this method.

The rest of the time, the sword of Gryffindor stayed quietly in the box in the headmaster's office.

Although the Sword of Gryffindor is indeed a rare boutique, in actual history, the number of appearances is very small.

Because the previous headmasters generally kept the relics of the founders well, and I have never heard of any headmaster going out with the Gryffindor sword.

As for the student pulling the sword out of the hat, well, even the hat is in the principal's office, did the principal go out and run around with the sorting hat? Or let the students take the sorting hat and go out to run around?

So Gryffindor's sword appears pitifully infrequently.

Dumbledore is also a member of Gryffindor College, and also served as the head of Gryffindor.

Coupled with the headmaster's authority, it is quite easy to channel Gryffindor's sword out of the sorting hat.

Immediately afterwards, Dumbledore held the sword upside down and gestured to Professor McGonagall.

Professor McGonagall, who was manipulating the stone statues to attack from all angles, immediately understood, controlled one of the stone statues to withdraw, and took the sword from Dumbledore.

The main reason is that Dumbledore saw that the quality of the weapons of the stone statues was still a bit poor. In addition, the basilisk could not make any waves. Further conniving the stone statues and water elementals to destroy the leather of the basilisk is to reduce the value of the spoils. to damage.

So Dumbledore made a decisive decision and asked the stone statue to kill the basilisk while keeping the integrity of the loot as much as possible.

The stone statue holding the Gryffindor sword approached the basilisk that had been pinned to the ground.

Although he was blind in both eyes, the Basilisk's sense of hearing and smell was still there, and he clearly realized that there was something approaching him in front of him.

The basilisk, which was chained to the ground and could not move, barely turned its head. The huge head jumped forward, opened its bloody mouth, and bit towards the stone statue.

The venom of the basilisk is something no magician would want to touch directly, but the stone statue is not made of flesh and blood, and the venom of the basilisk is not sulfuric acid, so it has no effect on the stone statue.

The stone statue directly received the basilisk's dying counterattack with its left shoulder, and the stone's shoulder supported the upper jaw of the basilisk.

Holding the Gryffindor sword in his right hand, he inserted it upwards into the basilisk's head from the basilisk's mouth.

The basilisk's brain was destroyed from the inside, its huge body twitched a few times, its ferocious head shook and fell down, its big yellow eyes were empty and lifeless.

Dumbledore and the others breathed a sigh of relief. Although it took a lot of effort, the matter was finally settled.

The basilisk also fell, and the next step was to quickly cut out some important parts while the basilisk's body was still warm.

If the basilisk's venom is not collected at this time, it is estimated that it will dry up in a while, and only the fangs will remain.

In addition to the liquid venom, the fangs are also pulled out one by one for preservation.

The eyes of the basilisk are very valuable. Originally, this thing could not be sold through proper channels.

Dumbledore was also worried that the Basilisk's eyes would be circulated on the black market.

Therefore, Snape personally removed the eyes of the basilisk completely, preserved them with special medicine, and prepared to sell them directly to Ai Qi.

For the rest, Dumbledore snapped his fingers, and more than thirty house elves teleported over.

There are hundreds of house elves at Hogwarts. Dumbledore had prepared before that if it was troublesome to fight the basilisk, he would directly summon the house elves.

The house-elf worked hard and obediently took over the remaining basilisk dismemberment tasks.

The bones, meat, tendons, even blood and internal organs of the basilisk are collected and frozen separately.

This scene is a bit like a slaughterhouse, and the professors have no desire to watch it.

Therefore, the professors decided that after Snape took the basilisk's eyes off, everyone would go up together and go back to the school.

After working for a long time, everyone was tired, and they were going to leave the task of cleaning the battlefield to the house elves.

After they finished cleaning, the professors came down again to see if there were any precious magic books and magic items left in the Slytherin chamber of secrets.

Half of the meeting is divided. If there is a Slytherin secret, it must belong to Hogwarts school, but it is normal for the professors to copy it again.

The professors all relaxed, watching Snape intensively remove the basilisk's eyes.

At the same time, under the guidance of Voldemort, Professor Quirrell quickly cracked all the checkpoints with sufficient preparation, passed through the magic fire created by Snape at the end, and came to a hall.

Professor Quirrell's eyes were burning, and the Philosopher's Stone was right in front of him!
