Chapter 282 Animal Shrinking Technique
The three adults and one child stepped into the green mist of the secret room, shuttled between the stone pillars carved with coiled snakes, and walked slowly towards the deepest part of the secret room.
Among the four, Snape was the most serious one. He looked at everything around him carefully, even the gaps in the floor tiles and the scales of the snakes on the stone pillars. He would carefully rub them.
In contrast, Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall were much more relaxed, as if they were tourists.
The most boring one was Fei Xu. He had walked up and down the secret room, and there was nothing interesting except rocks. Snape's nose was almost touching the pillar.

After slowly walking to the innermost part of the secret room, Snape became even more excited after seeing the statue of Slytherin. His thin lips even trembled because of it. He looked up at the huge Slytherin. The stone sculpture was motionless, not knowing what it was thinking.
"Minerva, can you call Ouroboros out?"
(●ω●)
After Fish stood stupidly with Snape for a while, he finally became impatient. He tugged on Professor McGonagall's sleeve and asked.
Professor McGonagall did not speak, but glanced at Dumbledore. As long as her own kittens were not involved, in most cases, she still respected Dumbledore.
"Ahem! Severus, please move away first. Fish is about to call the basilisk out."
In fact, Dumbledore has long been impatient. Although he is a person from Gryffindor House, he also respects Slytherin, but he stops at respecting him. After all, if he is really better than the magic level, the current Dumbledore It’s not necessarily worse than the Big Four.
At Dumbledore's loud reminder, Snape's body trembled and he came to his senses. Then he pushed aside as instructed, closed his eyes with Professor McGonagall, and added a Psychic spell.
"Hiss, hiss..."
Fish's snake language sounded again, this time the sentence was obviously much longer.
The mouth of the statue slowly opened, and the huge body of the basilisk emerged from the statue with a rustling sound, and fell heavily to the ground.
"Ouroboros, I'm here to see you, meow."
(●ΦωΦ●)
Fish greeted the basilisk and trotted up to meet it.
Ouroboros first touched Fish's face with his kiss as usual, and then glanced at Dumbledore and others behind Fish, feeling a little confused...
Why is there another guy who is not afraid of his own eyes? !
The third heir?
As for Snape and Professor McGonagall, they were completely ignored by it. They couldn't even look at themselves, so there was nothing to care about.
But the next moment it didn't think so...
"Let me introduce you to Minerva McGonagall, Fish's mother."
Fish pointed at Professor McGonagall and said, Ouroboros immediately came forward and touched her cheek with his kiss as well, expressing some friendship...
Professor McGonagall, who was touched by the basilisk, stiffened and managed a smile.
"This is Albus Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwarts."
"hiss."
There was nothing unusual about the principal. Ouroboros all knew the four people who founded the school, so he simply said hello.
Unexpectedly, Dumbledore actually responded with a smile: "Hiss."
"Hiss?" (Are you a Parseltongue too?)
The basilisk asked doubtfully, the other party's snake language...
Why do you have an accent?
It has to be said that Dumbledore's language talent is really good. The first time he said "Hello" in snake language, the snakes could recognize it, but there was still a slight mistake in his tone.
Although Fish couldn't understand Dumbledore's snake language, his ears were very good.
"Albus, there's something wrong with your pronunciation, it's 'his' not 'his'."
ω
The little cat blinked and corrected.
"Really? I just want to give it a try," Dumbledore smiled nonchalantly, and then said to Fish: "Translate to the Basilisk for me. I just taught myself snake language, not Parseltongue. Basically I can only understand, but I can’t speak very well.”
"That's pretty awesome, meow. Feishu put in a lot of effort to learn English."
After Fish sighed, he truthfully relayed Dumbledore's words to Ouroboros.
Then the basilisk lost interest in Dumbledore. Although the other party could look at him and he should be a good wizard, but... it had already seen four such wizards, and it was no big deal.
"This is Severus Snape, the current Head of Slytherin House."
The basilisk glanced at Snape, not even daring to look at him... It was such an embarrassment to the old master!
However, it still said hello for the sake of its old master and Fei Xu.
Even a simple greeting made Snape very excited.
Then he heard Fish speak again: "Also, the snake slough you put outside was taken away by Severus, saying he was going to use it to make potions."
Not only Snape, but also Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall became nervous. They did not expect that Fish would suddenly say this to the basilisk. God knows what the basilisk's attitude would be towards the snake skin he shed.
Dumbledore was upset because he had forgotten to remind Fish before. It would be terrible if the basilisk got angry because of this!
Fortunately, what they were worried about did not happen. The basilisk just glanced sideways at Snape and flicked its tail lazily, showing no intention of pursuing the matter.
Of course Ouroboros wouldn't care. In the past, its snake sloughs were basically used by its old master to make medicine, mainly to make a mitigating potion for its own venom (it can only delay the onset of snake venom, but cannot detoxify it). The giant squid in the Black Lake has drunk a lot of it.
Besides, Snape seems to have a good relationship with Fish, and he is also the descendant of the old master. It's just a snake slough, nothing big.
Seeing that the basilisk didn't react, Dumbledore and others were relieved and planned to leave first. God knows what kind of terrifying things Fish, this little cat, will do.
As a result, he was stopped by Fish as soon as he took a step.
"Albus, wait a minute, meow!"
"What's wrong, Fish?"
"Fish needs your help, wait a minute, meow."
Dumbledore stopped curiously, and Snape and Professor McGonagall also waited with their eyes closed.
The kitten held the basilisk's head and muttered for a while. Then the basilisk spit out its tongue and curled up in front of Fish.
Then Fish stretched out his hands and supported the basilisk. His face was tense and serious, which made Dumbledore nervous.
Then, a faint white light emerged from Fish's hands and quickly spread to the whole body of the basilisk. Then, in Dumbledore's surprised eyes, the huge body of the basilisk shrank to less than half a meter and the size of a thumb.
[Animal Shrinking Spell]
Let a willing animal shrink quickly, and the damage caused by the animal's natural attack will also decrease as the size shrinks.
! ! !
Not only Dumbledore, but also Snape and Professor McGonagall, who were using the ESP to sense the surrounding situation, were shocked.
Especially for Professor McGonagall, who is good at Transfiguration, it is not particularly difficult to shrink creatures. As long as the Transfiguration is proficient to a certain extent, or the Shrinking Spell is sufficiently understood, ordinary creatures and even some magical creatures can be shrunk.
For example, last school year, Quirrell, who was possessed by Voldemort, once shrunk a giant monster.
But changing the target to a magical creature like a basilisk that is huge and highly resistant to magic, it is completely different.
Not to mention her, even Dumbledore can't do this kind of thing!
Unless multiple wizards cast the shrinking spell or transfiguration spell at the same time, using the spell superposition effect, relying on the crushing force to forcibly achieve such an effect.
The snake skin that Snape shrank before is another matter.
First of all, the difficulty of shrinking living things and shrinking dead things is different. Secondly, the loss of activity of the snake skin will also be discounted in terms of magic resistance. Finally, the snake skin is just a layer of skin. It looks huge, but its actual size is very small.
The difficulty of shrinking the snake skin is even worse than shrinking a marten.
"Ha! Success!"
Fixu didn't know how shocking what he did was. He grabbed the super-small basilisk lying on the ground, ran to Dumbledore with it, and tiptoed to lift the basilisk in front of him.
"Albus, can you help Fish see if the eyes of Ouroboros can still kill people now?"
