Hermione, Be the Minister of Magic with Me!

"Below 2X? You mean, you can't even bring Sniff to the stage (Sniff is 3X)?" Fred said with a smile.

"What's wrong with Sniff? Sniff can also block the Killing Curse." Percy argued

George also echoed Fred and dismantled Percy's stage together: "Okay everyone, Percy sometimes likes to make little jokes, we recommend at least 4X."

Obviously, the twin brothers understand the theory that "if you want to open the window, you must lift the ceiling". 4X is the level of Thestral, the Winged Demon, the Horse-shaped Water Monster, and the Phoenix. Don't

Speaking of Percy, not even the other Gryffindors could agree with them.

In the end, everyone still unified the opinion J stipulated that the maximum level allowed to be brought on stage is 3X, which is the level of the big-headed monster, the evil bird and the sea snake.

Percy is very unhappy about this, because the 3X level also has fire crabs, fire gray snakes and hippogriffs.

Although he was stubborn, the result of the collective vote was 7 votes in favor, 4 votes against, and 1 abstention, and he had to make rules based on this result.

"Remember your decision today, you'll regret it when it's over." Percy warned and left the dueling club with a few people who supported him angrily.

Colin Creevey, who abstained from voting, was also a little embarrassed. He hurriedly excused himself to print the photos of today's game and left the auditorium.

After Percy was **** off, and the rest of the class dispersed, the Twins gave a high-five to celebrate.

"They didn't mention the restrictions on props!" Fred said proudly.

"It's just that the power can't exceed the stun spell." George touched his chin, and also made an appearance as if his sub-treachery had succeeded.

"No more than the stun spell... This is a difficult target to define. As long as you don't lose consciousness immediately, the power should not exceed it."

"Perhaps they meant as long as it didn't take lives."

"Oh my god, they forgot to discuss such an important standard issue."

"We also forgot to remind them."

"what a pity."

"yes."

Then, at the same time, they took out a large amount of fireworks from their arms and laughed slyly.

At night, when Lockhart was lying on the bed and started to feel confused, he was suddenly called from the bed by a summons from the principal's office.

"Gidro, I shouldn't bother you so late, but please come to the school hospital immediately." Dumbledore's voice seemed a little heavy.

Feeling the difference in Dumbledore's tone, Lockhart put on a coat and went downstairs directly to the school hospital on the second floor.

Madam Pomfrey opened the door for him solemnly, and reminded him to be mentally prepared

Entering the ward, Lockhart immediately saw Dumbledore in pajamas and a nightcap.

U!

Although the Santa Claus nightcap with Dumbledore's glasses and

The beard made him look funny, but Lockhart couldn't smile.

Because I saw the people lying on the hospital bed - Colin Creevey.

He was rigid and motionless, exactly like Mrs. Norris.

"How could this be?" Lockhart asked, opening his mouth.

He remembered that this kid was attacked when he wanted to go to the school hospital to see Harry Potter. Now that Harry was not forced to drink raw bone spirit because of his mess, why is Colin still petrified?

The first time Voldemort was about to attack Harry after the death party, he ran into the cat halfway, and the second time he tried to attack Harry at the school hospital, and ran into Colin Creevey again. Well this time...

"The dueling club guy testified that he wanted to print out the day's photo, but at the same time his roommate said he ran out of developer... When we found him,

He fell on the steps from the second floor to the third floor, we guess he may have come to you to ask for the developer potion. "

Lockhart clenched his fists.

Chapter 72 Hermione's Plan

If the account of the attack on Colin Creevey is to be counted on Lockhart's head, Lockhart really has no way to refute it.

He probably knows what's going on with his **** - it must be Tom Oli

After learning from Ginny that "Professor Lockhart may have a clue to the secret room", and that investigation will take a big fight", "The Gaunt family has remodeled the toilet pipes", and he murdered himself.

Others don't know, doesn't Voldemort understand what this means? He must have guessed that he knew some genuine clues before he dared to attack him.

Lockhart is paralyzed by the fact that "himself" and all the professors have never been attacked in the original book, thinking that the 15-year-old Voldemort is still a student and dare not attack the professor, but he seems to ignore the boldness of the bastard.

Very well, I warned you that you can't, and you planned to attack me, didn't you? "Guidero, did you hear anything then?" Dumbledore asked.

Lockhart's face was ashen: "...No, because the wind and rain on the tower is too noisy

, I would cast a mute spell on my office and bedroom at night. "

Dumbledore also seemed to understand something: it seemed better not to sleep too hard. "

CC said"

AE

"So, which students have you spoken to? I mean you have some clues about the Chamber of Secrets." Dumbledore wanted to know how much Lockhart knew.

"I'm a weekend party member of the dueling club."

"It looks like the suspects have narrowed down further, don't they?" Dumbledore continued to ask quietly.

<

At-

Lockhart knew that Snape had told Dumbledore about the diary, but Dumbledore was still pretending to be confused with himself, and he was somewhat irritable.

"Looks like I'm going to give my room a "safe guard" before going to bed at night. oo But the principal, although it's not ruled out that someone in the dueling club has already disclosed it to the outside world, but if you consider that there are no alibi on Halloween, The two ranges appear to have overlapped. "

Dumbledore pursed his lips, and then slowly opened his mouth: "Who

■

"The first year of Gryffindor, Ginny Wesley... and she was one of the first to know that Harry was going to the death party." Lockhart said, staring at Dumbledore's expression.

Dumbledore's expression finally fluctuated, which was the first time in Lockhart's mind.

"This speculation is really amazing... It's just a first-year student, and it's impossible to have the ability to perform advanced dark magic, and the Weasleys are such good people, and her wand is unicorn hair..."

"You don't have to explain this to me, you just have to tell me what to do.

Although Lockhart still had a smile on his face, Dumbledore knew exactly what he meant.

"...It seems that the objects of suspicion in our hearts are the same, but Gilderoy, I wonder if I have the face to keep you silent?"

"Then it depends on what is being traded. You know, as long as people have desires, they will have weaknesses. But I will always say that Mr. Creevey's family entered Huobi because of their trust in me. Gwartz went to school, and I have to take responsibility for this."

Dumbledore's gaze fell on Lockhart's face from above the lens, as if to confirm whether he was telling the truth.

Make up what you want. ' he said.

The attack on Colin Creevey finally caused panic among the students at the school.

Unlike the previous time when only one cat was unlucky, this time it was a big living person who was petrified. These two things were completely different concepts.

Although the school has repeatedly stated that no one will die, this does not bring much comfort, because the preparation of the potion will be after the spring of next year. Thinking of spending half a year in bed unconsciously, the students A chill in my heart

"It's horrible." Hermione said to Harry and the others when she was doing her homework, "If you fall behind in the second half of the course, you will definitely fail the exam for the school year, and I'm afraid she will stay there.

Judging from the expressions of Ron and Harry, their thoughts have been petrified for half a year, what are you still thinking about the exam.

5 Jin said that Professor Lockhart had gone to the hospital to accompany Colin, and he thought it was his fault. Harry said guiltily. "You say, should I tell them about the unusual sound?" "

Ron hesitated.

He wanted to persuade Harry not to, but after the incident of the student attack, his position loosened.

"You can tell Dumbledore," he suggested.

Harry looked around cautiously, making sure that no one around was listening to their conversation before lowering his voice and whispering his own thoughts to his companions.

"No matter who it is, that guy must be coming for me, I don't get hurt when I play.

Are you hurt? Then I went to the school hospital, but Madam Pomfrey cured me in a blink of an eye, so I didn't stop at the school hospital, but the guy was ambushing around the school hospital.

Both Ron and Hermione frowned.

"There is a possibility," Hermione said, "It seems we need to speed up the investigation... But there may be 50 violations of the school rules, you have to be mentally prepared.

The two were surprised: "Are you kidding? Violating school rules? You?"

"What's the matter? This is something related to the lives of the whole school." Hermione said naturally, "I had a plan and I've been collecting materials, but it didn't work in the end."

"What material to collect?"

Hermione apparently thought it over: "Potion of Compound - one by one can transform you into the person you want to change, thanks to Professor Lockhart for allowing me to borrow books from the forbidden area, I found it from "Strength Potion" We can use it to enter the Slytherin common room and question Malfoy."

Harry and Ron couldn't believe it: "When did you..."

"I had this plan in place when we wanted to investigate what Snape threatened Professor Lockhart with... Okay, don't interrupt, listen, we still need a key ingredient, and you have to cooperate with me. "

The two great elders nodded stupidly: "What?"

"African tree snake skin, but anyone who orders this has to go through the Ministry of Magic's record, it's hard to get, so I'm going to go into Snape's storeroom and steal it, you just need to get Snape's attention outside It's good, I'll start stealing, after all, I have no criminal record."

The two of Harry looked at each other.

Hermione had already arranged everything, and the two of them were men after all.

After this, it seems a little unreasonable to talk about escaping.

"I went to Fred and George to borrow some fireworks...if we say we're messing with Snape, they'll borrow them," said Ron.

Chapter 73: The Snake Sect and the Lion Sect

After Colin was attacked, Lockhart would arrange five or six warning and protective spells before going to bed every day. Not only did he wear protective contact lenses on his eyes, but even his close-fitting nightgown was lined with dragon skin.

Although it was a little uncomfortable to sleep like this, compared with Xiaoming, these are relatively less important.

He knew where the murderer was, but Lockhart still had to be so passive. This feeling was really uncomfortable.

Because he didn't dare to cast the Silence Spell, and the equipment on his body made him sleep very uncomfortable, Lockhart's dark circles had been on his face for more than half a month.

The pressure on Lockhart is even greater when he comes home for Thanksgiving, when Lockhart's mother keeps telling him to "get married and find a good woman to take care of himself."

His anxiety was noticed almost immediately by some attentive students.

One day, Hermione made a special pot of softener and knocked on the door of his office.

Lockhart opened the door, only to see Hermione holding a mouthful of the bubbling little W, stammering out her intentions, and advising him to "don't be too tired"

"Ah, the demulcent! This is the hard part of .W ?s!" Lockhart exclaimed, "I doubt that even if you propose to graduate now, you will still be able to get the Potions class."

"I just tried it according to the recipe in Advanced Potions Making." Hermione seemed very embarrassed, and she succeeded after thinking about it once. "

Seeing her like this, Lockhart made a little joke by the way: "Isn't it mixed with the love agent."

After a "bang", as Hermione covered her face and hurriedly ran from his office, only half of the pot of softener was left, and the remaining half was fed to the map carpet.

"Just kidding! I was joking!" Lockhart called after her.

Hermione ran faster.

Although Lockhart felt better after drinking the demulcent, he also reconfirmed one point—that was not going on like this, he had to talk to Dumbledore.

Originally, he wanted to take the initiative and wait for Dumbledore to take the initiative to talk to him about it, but now he found that it was himself who couldn't stand it first.

No way, it's not a crime of war, the pressure brought by Voldemort is too great.

"Iced lemonade!" he called to the statue in the doorway of the principal's office.

Dumbledore didn't seem surprised by Lockhart's arrival, as if he had known that Lockhart would come to talk to him sooner or later.

"Ah, Gilderoy! Just in time! The reply from the International Confederation of Wizards has arrived, and I am happy to tell you that they are willing to add a British representative, but they want you to come to France next summer to discuss Let’s talk about the business cooperation and fundraising related matters of the Triwizard Tournament.”

"Thank you, Headmaster, but I'm not here today to talk about that, but my personal future...and the looming security issues."

"The future? Of course it's bright! Do you have any doubts about this yourself?" Dumbledore asked.

Lockhart forced himself to smile: "It's hard to say, it depends on whether you care about my life, and whether you have a correct understanding of the rights I may bring to you.

"How do you say that?"
