subduing the basilisk

Alex is concerned about the chamber of secrets, he noticed Dumbledore putting a trace spell on him and watched him through Hogwarts domain magic, but today he observed Dumbledore and found him rushed somewhere, he took this opportunity removed the trace to go to chamber of secrets, but he felt the contract on magic animals isn't easy to break with his strength, he can't faze the contract, this brought him a headache, but he remembered Slytherin's book and found out yesterday, that the basilisk is contracted only to Slytherin and by his command it's serving his bloodline, that means delphini can control the basilisk, so he looked at Delphi who is in common room and called her.

he told her about chamber and it's consequences when the animal is left there, he also told her that her bloodline will her in suppressing the beast, so he requested her to come along without saying a word to anyone .

Delphini who heard this terrified at first and rejected, but Alex pursuaded her saying there will casualties here, if they didn't control the snake.

Delphini agreed after Alex told her, he will protect her and teleport her to a safe place if anything goes wrong. he then cast disillusionment charm on her and took her to the girls bathroom, Delphi looked at him like a pervert, but soon Alex went straight to the tap with a snake mark and hissed something, delphini understood the word as her bloodline gave her the ability to talk in parseltongue, Alex said," open" in parseltongue.

the entrance unveiled before their eyes and Delphini shocked at this, he told her to hang on closely while he wrapped his arm around her waist and before she could react he cast levitation charm on both of them along with wind magic to move in the tunnels, delphini is beet red all the way and also admired Alex's strength.

soon , they reached exit of the tunnels and felt cold, then saw the skeletons on the ground, delphini is shocked by this and almost vomit, then Alex took her hand went towards a door in the distance also saw snake skin which is shredded, he stored it in his inventory as it can be used to make many potions with cure for poisons along with research on the skin.as basilisk has high resistance to magic and also has dragon scales in some places.

delphini is shocked when she saw the skin disappeared suddenly, and asked Alex about this, he said it's a type of magic and to keep it a secret, he brought the suitcase along with him to store the basilisk in the suitcase, then they saw a vault like door and Delphini looked at door while unconsciously saying "open", Alex looked at this feeling intrigued, delphini is confused by this, then Alex took delphini's hand to enter the chamber and she blushed.

when they entered the chamber is looking dim with darkness and huge pillars with sanke patterns along with a head like wall which looked eerie due to the snake out of hair from it and also the beard gives people nightmares as soon as they see it, Delphini is also frightened by this, she grabbed Alex hand immediately and asked," it's scary here Alex please let's get out of her". Alex just patted her head and said," if we turn back, we will endanger those around us, do you want to see Cho and Luna in a situation like that".

Delphini is silent and Alex walked towards the statue and said in snake language," O Slytherin, the greatest of the four founders, respond to my call". the mouth of the statue opened and Alex told Delphini to close her eyes, he also did the same because he didn't know if he will petrified, he is certainly immune to instant death ability of basilisk but isn't sure about petrification ability of it, in movies headless Nick is also petrified by it as he gazed into it's eyes since he is immune to death as ghost.

soon , a hissing sound arrived and said," are you the ones that awaken me, I sense the blood of my master in one , but another one don't have , who are you? and what do you want me to do ? as the heir and blood of master I will follow your command". Alex told the snake in parseltongue to close its eyes and the snake did it then told them about it and Alex who opened his eyes looked at the basilisk which is 50 foot tall.

he told Delphini to open eyes and she opened them almost screamed when she saw the snake but Alex stopped her scream with his hand as it can make the snake open its eyes, she blushed from this and Alex told her about her ancestor and it's the pet left by him to his descendants, then he told her about his suitcase and also told her to command the snake enter it.

she did told the snake subconsciously in parseltongue, also realised she is speaking a different language, she is shocket by this, the snake nodded it's command and joyful as it has a lake in the suitcase with plenty of fish in it, Delphini told the snake to stay there and when there is someone in this place, don't attack and not to arrive before them with his eyes opened, the snake nodded and joyfully entered the vast lake in the suitcase, it saw many in it, this Alex's decision as he thought about the basilisk, he went to the ocean and many other places and collected fish with spells and made a huge pond the size of Hogwarts lake and put them in it. soo. , the fish adapted and started to multiply, so he is sure this is enough for the basilisk as food.

Delphini who look at the snake in the suitcase relieved and smiled at Alex, Alex said," let's go and get the inheritance of your ancestor". but delphini shook her head and said she want to leave and don't want to stay in a dangerous place like this. Alex sighed and told her about the inheritance and said he will take if see doesn't want that. Delphini just nodded and followed him.
