Chapter 156 – The Resurrection Stone
I was lying on my back, looking up at the ceiling, still feeling a little bit dizzy.
"Was it really that bad?" Lockhart asked, walking into the living room and making me groan as I sat up.
"It was weird. I still feel my teeth stinging from it."
"I am not an animagus, so I can't tell, but I always thought it was natural for them. I mean, after transforming, anything that an animal can do just happens. So, not everything is like that, huh? I will note that down when I write again!"
"Will you overexaggerate it?" I asked jokingly, making him shrug.
"Not this time. It has already been a wild experience, so there is no need to further decorate it."
"True enough." Quincy agreed as he entered the room, holding a flask with basilisk venom sloshing within it. "I tested it... and I have to say, it is brutal. It needs to be handled with care; otherwise, it could kill you just as fast as the snake's glare."
"Then, shouldn't you stop waving it around?" Lockhart gulped, taking a step back, keeping his eye on the flask.
"I reinforced the glass with magic; it won't break, even if you drop it. Here!" She chuckled, tossing it to me without worrying.
"Could you use it in potions?" I hummed, catching it mid-air.
"No, it can't be. This thing is too potent, and it eliminates all the other ingredients. It is only good for one thing: destroy whatever it comes in contact with."
