As Hermione looked on in disbelief, Ron suddenly turned around as if he had eyes on his back, and cast a disarming spell on Luna who had just touched the wand.

Then, the wand in Luna's hand suddenly flew out and bounced on the wall on one side, making a crisp sound.

Seeing this, Hermione widened her eyes and looked at Ron in front of her, her surprise evident in her expression.

At this time, Ron pointed his wand at Luna, forcing her not to move, and said, "You're surprised, Hermione! I, who could barely cast the Levitation Charm, can now cast the Disarming Charm so easily! See, this is the power of this diary!"

Hermione was very surprised. Facing Ron at this moment, Hermione didn't know what to say all of a sudden. Instead, Luna opposite her said faintly: "You said that this is the power of the diary, then what does this power have to do with you?!"

Hearing Luna's words, Ron was stunned, and the scene suddenly became quiet. Then, Ron seemed to be angry and pointed his wand at Luna, saying angrily:

"You're so tough on the mouth! I want to see if your body can be as tough as your mouth!"

"The flames are blazing!"

Seeing Ron attacking Luna again, Hermione quickly shouted: "Luna! Get out of the way!"

At the same time, Hermione also took out her wand:

"Clear water like a spring!"

Hermione and Ron's spells intertwined, and for a moment, the two sides were evenly matched and neither could do anything to the other.

At this moment, Luna, who had hurriedly dodged Ron's attack, took advantage of the stalemate between Ron and Hermione, walked quickly to the corner, picked up her wand that had been knocked away, and then raised her wand, pointing at Ron who was still in a stalemate with Hermione, and said:

"RON WEASLEY! DROP YOUR WANDS!"

Seeing this, Ron and Hermione looked at each other, then Ron sneered, but stopped his spell very cooperatively. Seeing this, Hermione was afraid of hurting Ron, so she also stopped her spell quickly.

Although both of them stopped casting spells, Ron still didn't put down his wand. Seeing this, Luna urged Ron to put down his wand again, but Ron said nonchalantly: "You two, you two are bullying me, this is not fair! In this case, then I have to call out my partner too!"

Hearing Ron's words, Hermione and Luna looked at each other, and at the same time their hearts skipped a beat, thinking to themselves that something was not good. Sure enough, they heard a "swish" sound in their ears, as if something was approaching here quickly.

At the same time, Ron continued:

"Haven't you always wanted to know what the monster in the secret room looks like? This time, I'll let you see what it looks like!"

As they were talking, Hermione was horrified to find a huge figure reflected on the wall of the corridor. Judging from the position, it should be behind her.

At the same time, Luna also noticed this. Just when Luna was about to look back, she was stopped by Hermione. Hermione said tremblingly: "No! Luna, remember, no matter what, you can't look into its eyes!"

After hearing what Hermione said, Luna knew that now was not the time to ask more questions, so she lowered her head obediently.

But at this moment, the spell released by Hermione and Ron during the duel just now - a stream of clear water like a spring, slowly flowed along the ground and finally flowed past Luna's feet.

With the help of the light and the water surface, Luna also saw the huge monster behind her. Although she could not see its full appearance, its eyes, like searchlights, appeared clearly in Luna's eyes.

When Luna reacted, she immediately cried out inwardly, "Oh no!", but at this moment, no matter what she wanted to do, it was too late.

Hermione, on the other hand, hadn't noticed this yet and was still calling out Luna's name. Instead, Ron said, "Don't waste your energy. Look at her for yourself!"

At the same time, Ron continued:

"Don't worry, Hermione. As long as you don't turn around and take the initiative to look at the basilisk, I won't let anything happen to you. In exchange, I want you to forget everything that happened tonight!"

As he spoke, Ron walked towards Hermione, pointed his wand at her, and continued:

"Don't worry, it won't be painful. It's just a forgetfulness spell! As long as you forget everything that happened tonight, I think we will still be good friends!"

At this moment, Hermione was looking at Ron who was walking towards her step by step. At the same time, she could clearly feel that there was a huge monster behind her, constantly spitting fishy air at her.

Just when Hermione was in a dilemma and didn't know what to do, suddenly, Hermione felt that the fishy wind behind her seemed to have weakened, as if the huge monster had distanced itself from her.

Just when Hermione wanted to take a breath, she heard Ron in front of her say in shock and anger:

"What do you want to do, you beast?!"

Suddenly, Hermione felt a strong wind behind her, as if something was rushing towards her.

At the critical moment, Hermione vaguely saw a figure in Gryffindor house uniform rushing towards her.

The next second, Hermione felt herself being thrown forward and slammed into the wall.

When Hermione opened her eyes in a daze, the first thing she saw was Ron lying on top of her. At this moment, a trickle of blood seemed to be slowly flowing from the corner of Ron's mouth.

Seeing this scene, Hermione was shocked, but before she could speak, the reflection of the basilisk appeared again on the wall beside her.

At the same time, Ron said weakly:

"Hermione, just now I realized one thing. This basilisk is not following my orders! Someone deceived me. Someone hid behind the scenes and deceived me!"

At the end, Ron suddenly pushed Hermione out and said loudly:

"Go, find Wentworth. I took this diary from him. He must know the truth!"

"Go find him and tell him everything that happened! Make sure he finds the person behind the scenes!"

"Go quickly! I will be fine for now. The person behind the scenes must be using me to do something. He won't let me die here!"

Hearing Ron's words and watching the basilisk reflected on the wall getting closer and closer, Hermione gritted her teeth and ran without hesitation! Hermione ran while letting her tears blur her eyes until she bumped into someone's arms and was forced to stop.

"Hermione, what are you and Ron doing? Everyone has gone back to the dormitory, but you two are nowhere to be seen! Harry even came to ask me if he had seen you two. Where are you two Gryffindors going? Can you tell me, a Slytherin?"

Hearing the familiar voice in her ear, Hermione finally couldn't help it:

"Wow!!!"
