Christmas song was being sung in the great hall.
The singing was not loud, but you could hear that every student who was singing are very happy.
Professors who are not qualified to go to the Christmas banquet held by Voldemort are basically marginal figures, and none of them is bigoted in personality, so no student will feel depressed or uncomfortable when they are the ones left to spend the holidays with them.
The cloaked Jon didn't stay long on the ground floor, he held the opened Marauder's Map in his hand, and after making sure that there was no one else in the whole castle above the ground floor, in front of the stairs, he relaxed his movements and dashed to the door of the Headmaster's office on the seventh floor.
He put away the invisibility cloak, although wearing it could help a little at the beginning, but this will also likely cause damage to the cloak.
Jon did not forget that this cloak is not his, but rather a symbol of comfort for a witch whose heart was already dead, not to mention the fact that this cloak will not really help much as soon as the crows of the rooster sounded to reveal his location.
After putting away the invisibility cloak, pulling out his wand, and hiding Fawkes' feather on the inside of his sleeve cuffs to ensure that he could hold the feather in the first instance once there might be any accidents, Jon took out a black cloth from his pocket.
After tying the black cloth to his forehead temporarily, he took out the pendant with a ring and put it on his neck, then pulled off the two buttons that were sewn on the cuffs, and released the transfiguration on the brown button first.
A half-full cloth bag appeared in front of him, Jon held his wand in his mouth, he lifted the bag with one hand and then used the other hand to pull down the cloth on his forehead to cover his eyes.
Finally, he took a deep breath and pushed open the door of the Headmaster's office in front of him with justifiable force!
A large foyer, half the size of a great hall, was in front of him, and a huge snake, more than 20 feet long, was curled up in the middle of the foyer!
When Jon came in, the Basilisk was resting with its eyes closed, it lived close to a thousand years, but most of its life was spent sleeping, although it is a magical creature born of a rooster, in the cold winter temperatures, its sleep time sill extended.
But in the first moment when Jon opened the door, it had alertly opened those earthy brown eyes!
Its current owner placed it here, and gave it a deadly order, anyone who dares to barge into this door, no matter who it is, all have to die!
In these seven years, it had already eaten three students and one professor who had mistakenly entered the Headmaster's room, but its master not only did not blame it but also gave it the greatest praise.
It never forgot the deliciousness of human flesh, and after so long, another "food" finally came to its door today.
In the first instance, the person entered, it searched for Jon's eyes, wanting to kill this weak creature instantly through the same death magic it had used to kill the previous four people.
But Jon, who was blindfolded, of course, was not affected in any way. After he entered the door, he did not release the transfiguration spell on that black button in the first instance, instead, he dumped all the things in the cloth bag on the ground first.
It is a pile of sand, very fine and dry gravel, and after being poured out by him, it scattered into a mess.
Only then did Jon release the transfiguration spell on that black button, and a colourful rooster appeared in his arms!
"Wo-Woo-Woo-ooo!"
The very next second the rooster appeared, it opened its beak with impatience, and let out a pleasant crowing sound, just as Aberforth had said!
The sound of the rooster echoed through the foyer, and when the moment the sound was heard, the basilisk suddenly tossed on the ground in pain as if it had been splashed with boiling hot oil!

The rooster's crowing is the most terrifying poison in the world to it, and the sound of this creature that bred it out is enough to inflict truly fatal damage.
But, the Basilisk is after all not so fragile that it would just die immediately upon hearing the crowing sound, otherwise, it would not have been listed by the Ministry of Magic as an XXXXX level magical creature, alongside the Dragon, and crowned as the King of Serpents.
It endured the pain and fear that originated from the depths of the soul, its brown eyes fiercely stared at Jon, opening its bloody mouth, revealing two glittering cold fangs, its body like a spring first pressed tight, and then rushed at him at a strange speed!
Right after the first moment of releasing the transfiguration spell on the rooster, Jon reached for the wand in his mouth, and instead of wielding the wand, he used the ring to cast the spell and recite the incantation that was too familiar to him.
"Wingardium Leviosa!"
The feeling of weightlessness wrapped his whole body in an instant, making his whole body float in the air!
The next second, the Basilisk's head crashed into the floor where Jon had just stood, sending the scattered piece of gravel flying all over the foyer.
And Jon, who was flying in mid-air, did not stop his movements, he did not hesitate to wave the wand in his hand and once again recited the exact same incantation!
"Wingardium Leviosa!"
This time the target of the levitation charm cast with the wand was not anything else, but those gravels already scattered on the ground!
Thousands of tiny pieces of gravel under the influence of the spell floated up with Jon, floating in mid-air like a group of stars in the vast universe, hovering and moving slowly in the weightless state, but when they encountered obstacles, they could give the most intuitive feedback to Jon who released this magic.
This would be enough for him to perceive all the movements of the Basilisk in the foyer despite the loss of his vision!
The Basilisk, of course, could not think about what these annoying gravels around it actually did, and it felt as if its brain was about to explode, and all it could think about was to immediately devour the flying human and the rooster in his arms!
It soon put such thoughts into action, the reflective shimmering turquoise scales quickly sliding, it once again focused on Jon who was floating in mid-air, and its body once again rushed out, this time it did not open its mouth again, but surrounded its bucket-like body, to trap Jon in a larger space, and then eat him without fail!
However, every movement made by its huge body squeezed the space where the thin gravel that was floating around, which made the gravel around it slightly denser, and Jon was able to determine the position of the basilisk, and the next move it was planning to move, the gravel moved in the same direction.
After coming up with this method, he practised countless times in Hog's Head Inn with Aberforth, and was able to make an incomparably accurate judgment of the information conveyed by the gravel movement!
So, as the second rooster crow sounded and the snake monster launched its second dash, Jon also prepared his second dodging move in advance.
