- "Oh hello... hmmm... a right odd lot we have here. The name is Basil Ardent Aurelius III, misplaced wizard, gentleman scholar. Now tell me what secret society are you and what are your nefarious ends?"
- — Basil Aurelius III greeting a group of students[src]
Basil Ardent Aurelius III was a wizard scholar. There was a portrait of him inside Hogwarts Castle.[1]
Biography[]
The portrait of Basil Ardent Aurelius III had once been placed at the Hogwarts Grand Staircase, but was moved to the Chamber of Secrets after the Battle of Hogwarts.[1]
During the 2009–2010 school year, a group of students, in search of a map that would lead to a family heirloom, went down to the chamber following Prentiss Pagett-Goggins's clue and heard him asking for help. After meeting them, he said the heirloom was in a secret passage, but the only person who knew where was his friend Harold, who had left Hogwarts before he came down here and was now in the Hog's Head Inn. He then noticed Bly far off in the chamber and mistook him to also be one of the group, leading to Bly animating one of the snake statues to attack the students. Basil was later returned to the Grand Staircase and reunited with his neighbours, namely Prentiss Pagett-Goggins and Harold, after the students found them and returned them to their original place.[1]
