"Your possessiveness is baffling …" As Allen spoke, he took out a measuring tape with silver scales from his bag. This magic measuring tape flew into the air and stopped in front of the little basilisk. It was as agile as a small snake. It closed around the little basilisk's head and stretched out to measure the distance between its eyes.
The measuring tape slid into Allen's palm and rolled into a ball. After comforting the little basilisk, Allen put the measuring tape back into his waist bag.
After getting the detailed data, Allen took out a pair of defensive glasses that he had given to many of his classmates in the second grade. He took off the crystal lens and began to polish it until it was very thin and light.
Then, Allen took out a small piece of mithril and turned it into a jagged frame. When he was about to reach out and place it on its eyes, he recalled Luna's request just now. Allen retracted his hand and fiddled with his waist bag. He took out the medicine that was used to dye Ravenclaw's ancient magic protective suit and smeared it on the frame.
"Since Slytherin has left behind a basilisk, shall we call this one Merope?" Allen tilted his head and asked Luna for her opinion.
"Merope then. You know, I'm not very good at naming. If you want me to name it, I'll call it Snake." Luna nodded absentmindedly. Then, she fixed her eyes on Allen. "Are you trying to joke with the mystery man that his mother is in our hands?"
"I didn't give her the surname Gunter …" Allen did not admit his bad taste. Then, he turned to look at the little basilisk that had to close its eyes because of the enslavement gemstone. He touched the hair on the top of its head with his hand, making it squirm comfortably. Then, he gently hissed and comforted it, "Merope, it'll hurt a little. Bear with it for a while and you'll be able to open your eyes."
Under the control of the enslavement gemstone, the little basilisk did not move. It allowed Allen to buckle the jagged frame on its eye socket. With the activation of the spell, these jagged edges pierced through the scales on the little basilisk's surface and embedded into its flesh.
"Hiss!" The pain made it want to open its mouth and attack the thing in front of it. However, the gemstone's effect forced it to close its eyes. Allen let go of his hand. Allen and Luna squatted down and observed it again. The little basilisk that was not used to wearing the crystal goggles swayed its fleshy head left and right.
"Merope, it's okay. It's okay now. You can open your eyes." Allen continued to comfort the little basilisk. "You're not allowed to open its eyes in the future."
After looking at the little basilisk's yellow eyes that had reopened, Allen felt that he no longer had a nosebleed because of looking at the little basilisk. He only felt a little uncomfortable. He nodded in satisfaction. "It's useful. However, I don't know how fast it grows. I've cast a little transfiguration spell on it. It can grow to a certain extent, but it won't be too exaggerated. If it grows too big, I'll have to make a new one."
"Your job …" Luna poked the little basilisk's head with her finger. The little basilisk swayed its head along with her finger in a daze. However, no matter how the little basilisk swayed left and right, it could not avoid Luna's finger. In the end, the little basilisk was enraged. It spat out its slender tongue and hissed dangerously. Its little body shot up as fast as lightning. It stuck its head out and wanted to bite Luna's finger with its little poisonous fangs.
However, the enslavement gem on its forehead flashed red again. It lowered its head again and obediently lowered its snake body. Realizing that it could not take revenge, it simply turned its head, wriggled its body, and swam away. Seeing that the little thing was a little angry, Allen comforted it with a snake's voice. "Don't be angry. You're cute like this. Luna likes you."
Although Allen's snake voice sounded a little scary, in the little basilisk's ears, it gave it a sense of stability. It wriggled its body. The young basilisk had already forgotten that Allen had just made its eyes hurt. It nimbly swam in front of Allen and kept hissing.
Although Allen could understand snake language, the little basilisk had just been born. It was too young to have a normal conversation with Allen. Its voice sounded like a baby babbling to an adult in Allen's ears.
It shook its head and talked to Allen for a while. After Allen gave it the food that was originally meant for Raffles, the little basilisk lifted its snake body and leaned back slightly. Then, it suddenly jumped up. Its snake tail hooked around Allen's wrist and coiled around Allen's body.
In front of Luna, the little basilisk looked at her vigilantly and spat out its tongue. She couldn't help but stroke the back of her hand that had been pecked by Anka. "I don't need to look to know that it's a female again …"
Allen was a little mad when he heard this. "Don't talk nonsense! I didn't dance this time! "
"You've improved." Luna nodded seriously.
This made Allen cry out in anger. He directly pounced on Luna and reached out to grab Luna, who had already dodged quickly.
After a few steps, either Allen was more agile or Luna didn't want to run anymore. The mad girl was held in the arms of the wizard. Then, he reached out to scratch Luna's itchy flesh. Luna turned around and scratched back. Allen couldn't dodge in time and was scratched.
"Hahaha!"
"Hahaha!"
For a moment, Allen and Luna were laughing very hard. They hugged each other, neither of them willing to admit defeat. The blood vessels in their noses that had already healed split open again and some nosebleeds came out.
Allen, who was slightly more reliable than Luna, suddenly realized that his daughter, Helena, was still in the room. He quickly pushed Luna away and whispered, "Wait, Helena is still here …"
Luna's movements paused. She immediately returned to her absent-minded state and retracted her hand. However, her face was a little rosy and she looked more lively than usual.
"Uh, Helena … Sorry … Daddy and Mommy were just playing around." Allen's face was also a little red. He carelessly wiped his nose and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. He had forgotten that his daughter was still in the room and started to play around with Luna.
However, there was no response from Helena except for the hissing of the dizzy little basilisk in Allen's hand. This made Allen even more embarrassed. He quickly turned around and tried to calm his daughter down.
"Allen …" Luna widened her silver-grey eyes, which made them look even more protruding. "Helena has turned grey …"
In fact, even without Luna's reminder, Allen saw it himself. Their daughter Helena was floating in the same place, expressionless. She had turned grey and didn't move at all. Only her eyes were still moving slightly …
Realizing that Helena might have been paralyzed by looking at the basilisk just now and hadn't noticed it for so long, Allen and Luna almost simultaneously touched their upper moons that had been whipped by Helga Hufflepuff and Allen's mother.
Allen could almost see the image of Helga, who loved Helena, roaring in anger in the portrait, commanding his mother, Morgan-le-Feil, who loved Helena, to use her magic wand as a feather duster to reprimand him. He couldn't help but feel his legs go weak and tremble. Luna also had a similar reaction. This pair of parents was like the Weasley twins, very tacit at this moment.
Allen smiled embarrassedly. "Helena, don't be afraid … Wait a moment, Dad will find a way to save you!"
"The mandrake in the underground garden is safer than directly removing the curse." Luna was no longer as leisurely as before. She seemed to be more anxious. "I'll go get it!"
"Luna …" After Allen pressed Luna's shoulder, he suddenly shook his head at Luna with a disapproving expression similar to Helga's. "Have you forgotten that Helena is afraid of being alone recently? Fortunately, I still remember … Don't leave her here alone … "After that, he looked at the frozen Helena with a kind face." Good girl, wait a moment! Dad will save you right away! "
Without looking at Luna's bulging eyes, Allen shamelessly tried to please his daughter and disappeared in an instant as if his butt was on fire, leaving Luna and Helena staring at each other with bulging eyes.
