The Deep Sea Wizard of Hogwarts

Forgery, calculation, detective, solving crimes...

In the end, the omnipotent Lockhart cracked the secret of the Chamber of Secrets and resolved the huge crisis in Hogwarts...

Lind closed the manuscript and threw it casually on the table. Then he leaned back in the chair and breathed a sigh of relief.

"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it..."

The things recorded in this manuscript are so simple that even Andersen's buttocks can understand them. But without reading this manuscript, it would be difficult for Linde to connect the two things.

The so-called secret room wounding incidents that occurred recently were all directed and performed by Gilderoy Lockhart.

According to records in the manuscript, Lockhart learned about the ancient "Chamber of Secrets" legend in Hogwarts during an exchange with Quirrell.

At that time, Lockhart's reputation at Hogwarts was seriously damaged, and the British wizarding community was not big, and Lockhart was a well-known star in the streets.

So after he learned about the legend of the "Chamber of Secrets", Lockhart decided that he could maintain his star life after finishing teaching. He decided to do something big.

He first obtained an invisibility cloak through channels. Of course, it's definitely not the invisibility cloak from Harry's Deathly Hallows.

Lind estimated that it was an invisibility cloak made from the hair of a Magical Department level 4x invisible beast.

Linde also knew that this creature was a gentle-tempered herbivore that liked quietness. It looked like an elegant ape-man, with big round eyes often buried in its hair.

Their bodies are covered with silky, silvery fur, which possesses magical powers that make them invisible. The conventional invisibility cloak is made of the fur of invisible beasts.

However, as time goes by, the invisibility cloak made of invisible animal hair will eventually lose its effectiveness and become opaque.

Lind recalled what Jane told him about the ghosts in Hogwarts' recent spooky stories. And Linde did see a fleeting white shadow outside the Room of Requirement one night after returning from the Christmas vacation.

I guess it was Lockhart.

In addition to these, many things that have happened in Hogwarts recently are related to Lockhart, or were caused by him wearing the invisibility cloak.

The various incidents that have frightened the entire castle in recent times, except for the unpleasant music in the corridor on the eighth floor, which was caused by Lind, other sleepwalking incidents, the murder of monks, secret rooms, and ghosts were all led by Lockhart alone. of.

What Lockhart wants to do is to make the entire Hogwarts shrouded in fear of the Chamber of Secrets.

Then he planned to suddenly descend from the sky one day in the future, direct and act on his own to unlock the secret of the secret room, and then protect the entire school's teachers and students.

Finally, in his vision: Lockhart, beaming with joy, would walk to the center of the auditorium under the grateful and adoring eyes of all the teachers and students in the school.

He would first bow to the people around him and then start talking about how he solved the secret room incident.

He would describe himself as letting his enemies in the dark relax their vigilance, so he deliberately acted ugly and deliberately embarrassed himself in front of the students, making everyone think that he was a fake trash.

He even deliberately "misunderstood" Harry, all so that he could catch the real culprit behind the scenes...

"You really directed and acted in a great drama, Lockhart!" Lind murmured softly.

From the beginning, it was just to take people out of the lounge, then erase their memories and fake "sleepwalking".

Go to the back and kill the blind monk in the painting.

Later, he pushed Qiu Zhang down the stairs and broke her leg. Although Lockhart's methods became more and more cruel, they were still within Lind's acceptance range.

First of all, Qiuchang has nothing to do with him. Secondly, he has caused much harm to Flint.

But in the end, Luna was disemboweled.

This was a bit unacceptable to Linde.

It is worth mentioning that when Lockhart met Flint, he actually thought that Flint had fallen by himself, and then he thought that he could pick it up off the shelf and erase Flint's memory along the way.

Looking at the pottery statue on the table, Linde's eyes changed for a while, but he decided to take it with him.

Climbing out of the suitcase, I took a look under the bed and saw that they hadn't returned to the dormitory yet.

Lind climbed out, sorted out the dust on his body, then walked out of the dormitory and went through the spiral staircase to the common room below.

It was unbelievable that even though it was almost eleven o'clock, the entire lounge was still crowded. Lind saw Harry and the others at a glance. At this time, they were surrounding the small corner where Lind usually stayed, and Jane's position had not moved.

Linde walked over, pulled out a chair and sat down, asking, "What happened? Why are they still human now? What are they discussing?"

"Well, everyone thinks that what happened in Lockhart's office was done by the person who led the Chamber of Secrets." Jane smiled and looked at Linde with ulterior motives.

Linde waved his hand, "It's just a farce and it's about to end."

"Is it almost over?" Hermione asked with some confusion.

"Probably! This matter must have made Professor Dumbledore very angry now. When Professor Dumbledore is angry, that guy will naturally have nowhere to hide." Linde smiled and said that this was just his guess.

"It turns out it was just a guess, not interesting." Jane tilted her mouth, and the interest she had just raised suddenly disappeared, "Anyway, don't go out recently."

She had forgotten how many times this was the first time she had reminded Lind like this.

Linde nodded.

Now Lockhart must be wandering around like a madman outside. Before he can come up with a suitable solution to this problem, he doesn't plan to go out for a night walk.

He doesn't plan to tell Dumbledore about this directly. Although Lind asks himself that his behavior is not wrong, that is only relative to himself.

Dumbledore is too upright, so he may not accept Lind's approach.

Jane stood up and looked at Lind in disbelief, "My God, I didn't expect you to agree. This is the first time!"

Lind smiled awkwardly and said nothing.

At this time, the door of the lounge was opened.

Lind turned his head and saw Lockhart, dressed in bright clothes, jumping out with a standard smile showing eight petals of teeth.

"Children! Look, I knew you didn't sleep." Lockhart smiled happily.

Hermione stood up and looked at Professor Lockhart who suddenly came in with surprise, "Oh, why is the professor here?"

Lockhart stood at the door, enjoying the surprised eyes around him, and continued to talk to himself, "Alas, it's just as I expected."

Lockhart said while taking steps forward quietly, but he seemed to have no direction.

"I think I must be the center of your topic again tonight. Oh, you are all worried about me, I understand!" Lockhart laughed and continued to walk around the lounge.

"But it's too bad that you don't sleep so late. I think I need to tell you - I'm fine." Lockhart walked and suddenly glanced at the corner where Lind and his group were.

Lind had retreated to the corner at this time, but he was sure that Lockhart was looking at him.

His smile twitched unintentionally, and it can be clearly felt that he changed from a formal smile to a smile from the heart.

Lind's expression suddenly became serious, and Lockhart was obviously staring at him.

It's crazy, he won't check every lounge one by one!

However, after thinking about it, Lind was relieved.

He didn't reveal his true colors, but he did underestimate Lockhart's importance to the manuscript.

Indeed, if the manuscript was exposed. His future and his dreams would be shattered, and he might even have to go to Azkaban.

Although he didn't know how Lockhart found out about him, it was already done...

"If anything unusual happens later, go find Dumbledore immediately." Lind saw his gaze and whispered to the people around him.

"What's wrong?" Harry asked somewhat confused.

"What happened?" Jane also asked solemnly.

Lind didn't answer him. At this time, Lockhart was looking at this side unintentionally, and then he put his arm around Wood's shoulders and said, "I'm fine! Kids."

Under his sleeves, he could clearly see a stick pointing at Wood's throat.

"Madman!" Lind said lightly.

The pottery statue of the evil god and a madman like you are indeed quite a match.

"What on earth are you talking about? Don't scare me." Jane grabbed Lind's wrist.

"He can't help it. I can smell the morbid fanaticism on him." Lind patted Jane's back of the hand and continued.

"Oh, by the way. Augustus, you haven't slept yet? That's great. I don't know where the things you kept with me before are." Lockhart let go of Wood's shoulders, as if he had just seen Lind in the corner.

"Can you please check with me? Because of the office problem, it may be treated as garbage tonight if you don't take it." Lockhart walked towards him with a smile. It can be noticed that the wand hidden in his sleeve seems to be pointing at someone intentionally or unintentionally.

"Professor, forget it! Just treat it as a gift to you!" Lind waved his hand and said loudly.

"Lind, it's okay. Professor Lockhart is here..." Hermione said in a low voice. She felt that Lind was too rude to talk to the professor like this. And with Professor Lockhart here, he didn't need to worry about whether it was dangerous to go out now.

He thought Lind was worried that it was too late and it would be dangerous to go out.

"But that's Professor Lockhart!" Hermione thought.

"Shut up!" Jane whispered. "Take a good look at Lockhart's expression now."

The few people began to look at Lockhart carefully. At this time, his eyes were wide open, staring at Lind motionlessly, without blinking. The corners of his mouth seemed to be grinning to his ears, and his white teeth were all exposed.

At first glance, there was nothing wrong with this expression. Just like them just now, they didn't think it was strange for Lockhart to make such an expression.

But when they looked closely, they felt that Lockhart's smile was unreasonably creepy.

Harry's back had begun to sweat finely. To be honest, he was a little scared now, but he didn't know why he was scared.

Afraid of that smile?

Although he was reluctant to admit it, it was the fact that his smile was no longer normal when Jane reminded them to look at Lockhart's expression.

Harry wished Lockhart could still show that cocky smile that made people want to punch him like before.

He wanted to shout out loud to let them notice Lockhart's abnormality, but his throat seemed to be stuck and he couldn't breathe out.

However, Harry, Hermione, Ron and others were also like this.

Ron even began to tremble. He couldn't help but think of the dead man with a smile on his face.

Ron thought of something he had heard before. There was a man who was tickled and no one helped him to remove the curse. He died of laughter.

Will that man die like this?

The more he thought about it, the more terrifying Lockhart seemed to Ron.

Among the five people who faced Lockhart's smile, except for Lind, only Jane, who was fearless, was calmer in this situation.

"Oh, stop it. I'll be back soon, okay?" Lockhart walked over with his back to most people in the lounge.

It was hard to imagine that a person would force his teeth to speak while making a hideous smile with the corners of his mouth stretched to the maximum. This made his saliva drip from the side, and then he wiped it off belatedly.

"I said, he couldn't help it!" Lind smiled bitterly. Then he stood up.

"Professor, it's too late! Forget it." Jane stood up at once. She wanted to stop Lockhart's behavior again.

After hearing Jane's words, Lockhart was stunned for a moment, opened his mouth, but only made a hoarse sound.

At the same time, his arm slowly raised.

Linde pressed Jane down,

"Professor, can you wait for me to put on a robe?" Linde said loudly. "It's still a bit cold to go out like this!" After saying that, he turned his head and looked at Jane and others.

"He has no patience. Do you think he is not a fanatical evil pagan now?" Linde said in a low voice,

Even though Lockhart was closer to Linde, he could no longer hear what Linde and others whispered.

Because at this time, after the awkward period of Lockhart's sudden visit, the lounge began to talk about their own things again, and obviously no one took him seriously.

"Like! Very much like!"

Several people unanimously confirmed Linde's statement, even Hermione was no exception. But they didn't say it now.

"Don't joke at this time, okay!" Ron looked at Linde worriedly. "Don't go, we are all here! Can he force you to go?"

Harry and Hermione also nodded.

Linde looked at them and shook his head helplessly. Yes! He is forcing me to go now.

Linde glanced at the wand under his sleeve again.

Use you to force me.

Linde was the one who made this trouble. If he didn't go, Lockhart would ask other little wizards in Gryffindor to pay for him. He couldn't do such a thing.

"Harry, can you give me your robe?" Linde said loudly.

Harry was a little reluctant, but he didn't expect Linde to come up and pull his robe.

"Give it to me!" Linde said loudly, and then quickly whispered "He is the first person you ran into..."

Under Harry's confused eyes, Linde took off Harry's robe and began to put it on himself.

"First, I'm not kidding. He is really a fanatic of some alien god now.

Second..."

Linde glanced at Lockhart's feet. He was stepping on a black and purple feather, which was what Linde just noticed.

Andersen is not a normal bird. His feathers that normally fall off will naturally melt into a pool of water.

So the feathers that are stuck to Lockhart's feet now are not normal feathers.

"Are you using it to confirm me?" Linde's face was dark, and he put on his robe under Lockhart's impatient eyes.

"Second, I'm just going to pick up a friend of mine."

Linde finally put on his robe slowly.

"Let's go, professor."
