The hat Dumbledore took out was the Sorting Hat.Back then, the Sorting Hat was Gryffindor's own hat, and the four founders worked together to cast their magic, leaving the house for the students.Every time a new student is assigned a house, the hat has to appear once, and the rest of the year is spent in the cabinet in the principal's office thinking about next year's opening statement.When you put a sorting hat on a newborn child, it is basically buttoned to the place of the eye, and it seems that Gryffindor was also a big head when he was alive.The Sorting Hat, an important item of Gryffindor himself, was enchanted and connected to another of Gryffindor's relics, the Gryffindor's sword.Only a person with a true Gryffindor House literacy would be able to pull the Gryffindor Sword straight out of his hat.Throughout the millennial history of Hogwarts, several Gryffindor students have been exposed to the Gryffindor Sword through this method.The rest of the time, the Gryffindor Sword sat quietly in the headmaster's box.While the Gryffindor Sword is indeed a rare gem, it has rarely appeared in actual history.Because the previous headmasters generally took good care of the relics of the founders, I have not heard of any headmasters going out with the Gryffindor sword.As for the student pulling the sword out of his hat, well, even the hat is in the principal's office, is there the headmaster who is out with the sorting hat out and about?
Or give the Sorting Hat to the students and take it out and run around?
So Gryffindor's sword appearances are pitiful.Dumbledore was also a member of Gryffindor House and also served as the Head of Gryffindor.Coupled with the Headmaster's authority, it was easy to channel Gryffindor's sword out of the Sorting Hat.Immediately afterward, Dumbledore held his sword upside down and gestured to Professor McGonagall.Professor McGonagall, who was manipulating the statues to attack from all angles, immediately took notice and controlled one of the statues to withdraw and take the sword from Dumbledore.The main reason is that Dumbledore saw that the quality of the weapons of the stone statues was still a little worse, and the basilisk was no longer able to make any waves, and further conniving at the stone statues and water elements to destroy the basilisk's leather was to bring damage to the value of the loot.So Dumbledore made the decision to let the statue kill the basilisk while maintaining the integrity of the loot as much as possible.The stone statue holding the sword of Gryffindor approached the basilisk, which had been nailed to the ground.Although he was blind, the basilisk still had the sense of hearing and smell, and he was clearly aware of what was approaching him.The basilisk, which was chained to the ground and couldn't move, reluctantly turned its head, and its huge head pounced forward, directly opening its bloody mouth and biting towards the stone statue.The basilisk is highly venomous and no magician wants to come into contact with it head-on, but the stone statue is not flesh and blood, and the basilisk's venom is not sulfuric acid, so it has no effect on the stone statue.The stone statue directly used his left shoulder to catch the basilisk's death-defying counterattack, and the stone shoulder supported the basilisk's upper jaw.He grabbed the Gryffindor Sword in his right hand and thrust it upwards into the basilisk's head from the basilisk's mouth.The basilisk's brain had been destroyed from within, its massive body twitched a few times, its hideous head swaying and falling, its large yellow eyes hollow.Dumbledore breathed a sigh of relief, and although it took a lot of effort, the matter was finally settled.The basilisk also fell, and the next thing was to quickly divide some important parts while the basilisk's corpse was still warm.If the basilisk's venom is not collected at this time, it is estimated that it will dry up after a while, and then there will only be remnants in the fangs.In addition to the liquid venom, the fangs were also plucked out one by one and preserved.The basilisk's eyes were very valuable, and they couldn't be sold through legitimate channels, and Dumbledore didn't worry about the basilisk's eyes circulating on the black market.So, Snape personally removed the basilisk's eyes intact, preserved them with a special potion, and prepared to sell them directly to Edge.For the rest, Dumbledore snapped his fingers, and more than thirty house-elves teleported over at once.There are hundreds of house-elves in Hogwarts, and Dumbledore has been prepared before, if he is in trouble with the basilisk, he will directly summon the house-elves on it.The house-elves worked hard and took over the remaining basilisk dismemberment tasks very obediently.Basilisk's bones, flesh, tendons, and even blood and internal organs are collected and frozen separately.This scene is a bit like a slaughterhouse, and several professors have no desire to watch it.So, the professors decided that when Snape had taken off the basilisk's eyes, everyone would go up together and go back to the school.After a long day of work, everyone is also tired, and they are ready to leave the task of cleaning the battlefield to the house-elves.When they were done, the professors came down again to see if there were any precious magic books and magical items left in the Slytherin room.If there really is any secret Slytherin legend, it must belong to Hogwarts School, but it's normal for professors to transcribe it.The professors relaxed as they watched Snape pluck the basilisk's eyes.At the same time, Professor Quirrell, under the guidance of Voldemort, was well prepared, and he had quickly cracked all the levels, passing through the final magic fire created by Snape and arriving in a hall.Professor Quirrell's eyes burned, and the Philosopher's Stone was right in front of him!
