“I just used magic to detect, but still couldn’t find the notebook.” Dumbledore said, adjusting his glasses..

“Severus, Minerva, I’m afraid you’ll have to work hard tonight. I’ll wait for him to show up with you.” Dumbledore looked at the two professors.

They nodded at the same time.

“I’ll go get the other two deans.” Snape decided to play it safe.

He called everyone to make sure there wouldn’t be any mistakes.

Dumbledore nodded in agreement.

Snape was about to wave his wand, but Harry, who was still sitting there, walked outside the office and cast the Patronus Charm, letting the Patronus pass on the message.

“In that case, I’ll go back first!” Harry said, standing up. He had nothing else to do now, and it would be best if the trouble could be solved tonight.

Nodding to Dumbledore and McGonagall, Harry put on the invisibility cloak and disappeared in the office.

When Snape came back, he found that Harry was gone and asked,”Where’s Potter?”

“He has gone back to the lounge.” Mag said

“I’ll wait for you at Lockhart’s place.” Snape didn’t go in, but turned and left.

From the headmaster’s office, he walked slowly all the way to the Gryffindor common room. After a pause, 033 walked to Lockhart’s office.

Harry didn’t walk far at that time, and soon saw Snape, who was following him.

After leaving the Gryffindor common room, Harry found that Percy was still in the common room and had not rested.

“Haven’t you rested yet? Percy. Harry took off his invisible cloak and said to Percy. The sudden appearance of the figure scared Percy, but he was relieved when he saw it was Harry.

“I went to the dormitory to check and found that you were not in bed. Ron told me that you went to see Professor Dumbledore.”Princess explained.

“Dumbledore came to me!” Harry corrected him.

“Otherwise I wouldn’t be running around in the middle of the night.” Harry said calmly.

“That’s true. The school is not very safe these days.” Bo Xi nodded.

“Don’t worry, Professor Snape just sent me back.” Harry waved his hand and said

“”Ah? Isn’t that more dangerous?” Percy said subconsciously, but he soon realized:”I mean, Professor Snape may also be the heir.”

“Ahem, I mean, Professor Snape may not be able to deal with the basilisk alone!” He covered his mouth with his hands, coughed twice, and explained stutteringly.

“”Just come back safely.” Percy said to Harry.

Harry didn’t want to tell him too much. As long as Voldemort could be dealt with safely tonight, everything would be over. Telling Percy too much now would only add to his troubles.

If it couldn’t be solved, it would be useless to tell him.

“You should go to bed early too. It’s safer with professors patrolling at night.” Harry said to him and returned to the dormitory.

“Harry, you’re back. Have you seen Percy? Ron is still awake, waiting for Harry to come back.

“He came to check the beds, looking at each one, and I couldn’t hide it.” Ron explained.

“Well, it’s okay, I saw him in the lounge.”Harry waved his hand, indicating that it was just a small matter.

“”Why does Dumbledore want to see you?” Ron asked

“Just tell me something, he might not be here tomorrow.” Harry said

“What? Dumbledore is leaving Hogwarts?”Ron was shocked and felt it was incredible.”How could he leave school at this time?”

“The Ministry of Magic asked him to go over and explain the matter of the basilisk attacking students.”Harry said

“The Ministry of Magic has gone crazy.” Ron couldn’t understand

“And Lockhart may have to go to the Ministry of Magic with Dumbledore tomorrow.” Harry said with a smile

“That’s great.”Ron had always disliked Lockhart, starting with Flourish and Blotts.

It was a good thing that such a flamboyant person was leaving Hogwarts.

“”Okay, go to sleep, maybe everything will be solved when you wake up.” Harry said.

Ron was a little confused. What did it mean to wake up and solve the problem?

But Harry didn’t say it, and he didn’t want to ask further.

With doubts, Ron fell asleep.

Ron was indeed very talented in sleeping. In the

Defense Against the Dark Arts professor’s office.

Lockhart sat stiffly at the table.

It’s over, everything is over, his life is completely over.

This was the only thought in his mind.

Suddenly his eyes became confused, and he said to himself:”No, of course I don’t want to leave Hogwarts.”

“Okay, I’ll listen to you, but you have to help me.”

“What? Are you crazy to spread this?”

“Will I be a hero?”

“Yes, as long as I become the hero who saves Hogwarts, no one will doubt me anymore.”

“I, I listen to you!”

Lockhart took a deep breath, took out parchment and a quill, and began to write something on it.

After writing, he took out his wand and whispered to the parchment:”Copy it in pairs.”

The wand flashed a ray of light, and the parchment moved slightly, but there was no response.

He sighed, copied it again honestly, and then sent the letter through the Floo Network to the Daily Prophet, where his schoolmate, Rita Skeeter, was. She was a famous reporter and he was a well-known writer. The two were also senior and junior brothers and sisters and had been working together for a long time. She must like such big news very much.

It would be best if he could promote his work more at that time.

The second letter was sent to the Minister of Magic.

But he didn’t know that his every move was under the surveillance of Dumbledore.

And what he wrote was also known to everyone.

“Tomorrow morning, there will be a death in Hogwarts!”

This simple sentence made the faces of the five people look extremely ugly.

Professor McGonagall’s temper could not tolerate such things, and she cursed directly:”How dare he! Albus, let’s go in and kill him now! We must not let him hurt the students!”

Dumbledore smiled bitterly and asked her to wait. Now that there was no substantial evidence, it would be inappropriate to kill people directly. As soon as he took action, he would be greeted by the anger of the five top wizards. If he did not take action, Dumbledore would personally take him to the Ministry of Magic and lock him up.

Professor McGonagall temporarily suppressed her anger.

The next morning, Harry came to the lounge. There didn’t seem to be any big movement at night. It seemed that Voldemort did not choose to take action?

Then he would have to watch himself being sent to the Ministry of Magic.

Professor McGonagall came to the lounge and led the lions to the hall.

On the way, they met people from other colleges, all of whom were accompanied by their own deans. They were safe and sound along the way.

Everyone sat down at the dining table, and exquisite and delicious food immediately appeared on the table.

“”The professors all look listless,” Ron whispered.

When Professor McGonagall came to pick them up, she had dark circles under her eyes and her eyes were dim, completely different from usual.

Looking at the other professors, except for Snape, they all seemed the same.

“The professors are all old, and they must be tired after working all night.”Harry said as he cut the steak.

He looked at the teachers’ seats, and all the professors were there, except for one person, Lockhart!
