@LenaMalfoy666 Very well. In that case, now that we’ve seen it, I think we should go.
*Ominis orders the basilisk back into its lair and prepares to leave the Chamber of Secrets.*
@LenaMalfoy666 I believe that’s true. *Said Ominis proudly.* But they can never know. You mustn’t tell anyone what we’re found here tonight or, in fact, that we came here at all. It would cause a panic and most likely the disposal of this marvelous creature.
I have a certain affinity for gorgons, or any petrifying gaze creatures. Never being able to see their gazes makes me safer than most and being a parselmouth allows me to communicate more effectively.
@SnakedMyth My other senses are indeed heightened, but I’m afraid I still cannot usually feel when someone is looking at me. I do have a spell that helps me “see” to a fashion in order to navigate the world more efficiently, but even then I only sense the way someone is facing, not-
@LenaMalfoy666 I believe it can sense my Slytherin blood. It was put here to do the bidding on a Slytherin ancestor. That is why I believed we would be in no danger.
*He continued to stroke the basilisk.*
Here. Try it yourself.
@LenaMalfoy666 I believed that would be the case. *He replied in English. Then he continued speaking to the serpent in parseltongue.*
Come to me. Submit yourself. *The basilisk slithered forward and lowered his head to Ominis who reached out to gently stroke his scales.*
@SnakedMyth *He nodded, trying to follow along.*
I like to think I am not a bad man at all. *He replied.* In fact, I do my best to teach and protect as many people as possible.
As for your petrifying power, I do not believe it would work on me anyway. Being blind, I cannot meet your gaze.
@LenaMalfoy666 *The basilisk gazed at each of them in turn, but Lena’s glasses and his blindness protected them from being killed or even petrified. Ominis then spoke parseltongue to the giant serpent.*
Stop where you are. Relax! *The basilisk seemed to obey.*
@LenaMalfoy666 It’s coming. *Was all he said. Then, suddenly, a humongous basilisk, which filled the entire place of the Slytherin mouth door slithered into the main chamber. It reared up, towering over them, its head 15 feet off the ground. Ominis stood his ground.*
@LenaMalfoy666 *For a moment, Ominis thought that there was nothing there, but soon he heard a rustling of scales on stone that would have been imperceptible to an average person. Only his heightened hearing due to his loss of sight picked it up.*
Something is coming. It sounds like it could-
@LenaMalfoy666 Then if you are ready.
*He also held his wand at the ready as he spoke parsonage to the statue.*
Open yourself to me! *Instantly the mouth of Slytherin began to open.*
@LenaMalfoy666 Do not worry. Between my eyes and your glasses, its major weapon is neutralized. If it comes down to a fight, I believe I could handle it…with your help. I do not, however, believe it will come to a fight.
