The reason why Jon would agree to Dumbledore to protect Harry was mainly because he needed Tom Riddle's soul a little bit.

There is one more thing to do before he leaves, and that is to go to Gringotts and take out the gold cup of the Hufflepuff family. Gringotts is very tightly blocked, even if Jon has the three-dimensional map of Gringotts in his hand, It is also difficult to open the door of the vault. After all, in addition to the key, the door of the vault also needs the magic power of the goblin to outline the blockade of the magic circle.

The easiest way is of course to break through the space and go directly in, but the fluctuation of space magic will also detonate the warnings in Gringotts.

So Jon planned to let Grindelwald take him in, but Grindelwald left again at this time to save Sirius.

Then the only person he relied on was Dumbledore.

Helping Dumbledore protect Harry is the reward Dumbledore promised him.

Now that Dumbledore has left the school, no matter where he is, he is beyond his reach after all, and the teachers are obviously not suitable for showing up. There is actually no way to choose Jon.

But Jon can also accept it, anyway, everything is within range.

"So, then our current plan can be finalized, right?"

After Seshali woke up, she immediately came to look for Jon. She held the previous "travel" plan in her hand, and obviously added something to it.

The thing added is the trip to Gringotts, Jon is going to get the gold cup back, and Seshari has no other opinions.

After all, they may not be able to come back after this trip, so naturally it is the right thing to prepare a little in advance.

"That's it. There shouldn't be any other changes. Anyway, you will arrange other things."

There is this advantage in sharing everything out, so you don't have to worry about it yourself.

"Okay, that's it, call me when the time comes."

Seshali said a word, and she disappeared from the room. Fortunately, Jon has fully adapted to her recent state, which is how she is when she is busy.

"It's such a pain in the ass to live."

...

...

Harry and Ron sat beside Hermione's bed, overwhelmed with excitement.

"I'm not the only one in this school who knows Parseltongue. The Heir of Slytherin does too. That's why they keep the Basilisk under control."

"What do we do?" Ron asked, his eyes sparkling. "Shall we go straight to Professor McGonagall?"

"Let's go to the staff room," said Harry, jumping up into the rain. "She'll be there in ten minutes. Classes will be over soon."

They ran downstairs. They didn't want Professor McGonagall to find them wandering another corridor, and went straight into the empty staff room. It was a large, paneled room, filled with chairs of dark wood.

Harry and Ron paced up and down inside, too excited to sit still.

However, the bell for the end of get out of class never rang.

Because something happened, Professor McGonagall came to the corridor immediately after hearing Peeves' report.

Immediately afterwards,

Professor McGonagall's voice echoed in the corridor, amplified many times by magic.

"All students returned to their respective college dormitories immediately.

All teachers return to the staff lounge.

Please act now. "

Harry in the lounge turned sharply and stared at Ron.

"Did something happen again? At this time?"

"What do we do?" Ron asked in horror. "Go back to the dormitory?"

"No." Harry said, looking around. To his left was an ugly wardrobe full of the teacher's class robes. "Hide in here. We'll hear what's going on, and we'll tell them what we find."

They hid in the closet, listening to the footsteps of hundreds of people moving upstairs.

But not far from the entrance of the staff lounge, the teachers did not rush in.

"Everyone, let's go in one by one, it's time for us to start showing our acting skills."

Then, the door of the staff lounge was pushed open heavily.

Through the musty-smelling layers of robes, Harry and the others looked at the teachers who entered the room one by one, some with bewildered looks, and some frightened out of their wits.

Then, Professor McGonagall arrived.

"An accident happened again," she said to the silent teachers in the room, her acting skills seemed to be very good: "A student was kidnapped by a monster and brought directly into the secret room."

Professor Flitwick let out a shriek, and Professor Sprout put his hands over his mouth, very pompously.

Snape, on the other hand, gripped the back of a chair tightly and asked, "How can you be sure?"

"The heir of Slytherin," said Professor McGonagall with a very pale face, "left another line. Just below the last paragraph, it read: Her bones will remain in the Chamber of Secrets forever."

Professor Flitwick "couldn't stop" crying.

"Who is it?" Mrs. Hooch slumped in a chair with her knees limp. "Which student is it?"

"Ginny Sly," said Professor McGonagall.

Harry felt Ron slump soundlessly to the wardrobe floor beside him.

"We must send all the students home tomorrow," said Professor McGonagall. "Hogwarts is over. Dumbledore used to say..."

The door to the staff room was slammed open again, and for a moment Harry thought it must be Dumbledore who had returned.

It turned out to be Lockhart, with a grin on his face.

"Sorry - took a nap - what did I miss?"

He didn't notice -- "seemed" not to notice, and the other teachers stared at him with what could be called hatred.

Snape took a step forward.

"Here comes the solver," he said, "and this is the man. Lockhart, a girl was taken away by a monster and taken into the Chamber of Secrets. It's time for you to show your brilliance."

Lockhart's face turned pale.

"Yes, Gilderoy," interposed Professor Sprout, "didn't you say last night that you knew exactly where the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets was?"

"I - this, this, I -" Lockhart stammered.

"Didn't you tell me that you were sure you knew what the monster was in there?"

Professor Flitwick also interjected that Lockhart felt that although everyone was acting, it felt very real.

Especially Professor Flitwick, felt that the old dean didn't like his appearance very much.

"Did I—did I say that? I don't remember..."

"Of course I remember what you said. You said it was a pity that you couldn't fight the monster before Hagrid was taken away."

Snape said, "Didn't you also say the whole thing was such a mess that it should have been left to you from the start?"
