Chapter 66 He Has an Owl in His Head (Please Read It Later)
Chapter 66 He has an owl in his head (please read~)
Is it such a serious matter?
If Voldemort hadn't made such a fuss, it would have been quite serious.
"I will let Minerva talk to him." Dumbledore was stunned for a moment and nodded, "This matter is indeed a bit too much."
Harry's expression was serious: "I suggest that he be fired, and use this reason to let him pack up and leave, and then replace him with a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts who is at least qualified."
"Harry, I also hope to have a better professor." Dumbledore looked embarrassed, "Hogwarts professor is indeed a good position, but Defense Against the Dark Arts is not, and he is the only one who applied this year."
It's not that he wants to use Lockhart, he can only use Lockhart.
"And even if he leaves, that thing will still stay in Hogwarts."
Harry sighed.
Only one person applied for the job? Is it because of the curse?
That damn bald and bare-nosed old Tom.
"It's more than that." He shook his head and didn't continue the topic of expulsion. "Lockhart is a brainless troll, but Voldemort is not."
Dumbledore reacted and sighed: "You mean that thing may be in someone else's hands?"
"Oh, yes, love makes people blind."
"Maybe the little witch trapped in the swamp of love will risk her life for him."
"It seems that you have been blind too. I am actually very curious about your feelings. Is she beautiful?" Harry thought, "You are over a hundred years old and still refuse to get married."
Dumbledore seemed not to hear what Harry said. He snapped his fingers and summoned the elves to search the student dormitory again.
This topic was naturally brought over.
They walked to the basement and knocked on Snape's office door.
Soon, Snape, with greasy long hair and a black robe that never changes, came out: "Dumbledore, and Potter."
"You came to me so late, have you finally figured it out and want to heal your brain?"
Dumbledore shook his head and said softly: "Severus, I'm here to check your office. I don't know where Voldemort's dark magic items are now."
Snape's face suddenly changed, as if two pounds of feces were roughly stuffed into his mouth. His facial features were distorted, his eyes were disgusting, and his body was shaking with anger. He took out his wand: "Albus, you are still questioning..."
Harry was surprised, but he didn't ask.
"No, this is Mr. Potter's suggestion." Dumbledore waved his hand, interrupted, and comforted him, "He suspected Lockhart, but I am the headmaster and can't just check one professor."
Snape eased a little: "Mr. Potter really made a smart suggestion."
"Come in."
They entered the room.
Dumbledore just took out his wand.
"What do you know!" Snape lowered his voice and spoke to Dumbledore, but his eyes fell on Harry.
Harry shrugged: "If it's related to my mother, I don't think I should be avoided."
Snape flicked his sleeves without even looking at him.
Dumbledore waved his wand and carefully checked everything in the office. He listened to Snape's words, and a single drawer flew out, covered with a thick layer of white fog, and only he could see the contents inside.
Wait until everything is back in place.
"Are you relieved now?" Snape sneered.
Dumbledore said, "Forgive me, Severus, I believe you, I believe you very much, but I am still the headmaster of Hogwarts after all."
"What's the situation now?" Snape sat down, waved his wand, and two chairs flew behind them, "Could it be that nothing was found?"
Dumbledore nodded: "Harry and I both doubt Lockhart."
"But he is really too normal."
"Not normal at all." Harry retorted, "sneaky and shifty."
"From a magical perspective, he is normal." Dumbledore paused and said more appropriately, "There is nothing unusual."
"Just like an ordinary person who can't do magic." Harry added.
"I always suspected that he was a Squib." Snape shook his head and sneered, "Since he didn't have that, has he been to the Chamber of Secrets? Maybe he will go back there."
"I'm waiting for news from the elves." Dumbledore snapped his fingers, "If the students still don't have it, I think I have to go with Harry to see it."
The Chamber of Secrets is not open to house elves.
They can't move freely in the Chamber of Secrets like they move in and out of Hogwarts.
More than half an hour later.
The elf reappeared in front of Dumbledore, with a fresh burn on his forehead that still smelled of burns: "Principal Dumbledore, we still can't find the book you want."
"Did Professor Lockhart go out?" Harry asked.
The elf shook his head: "No, the door of Professor Lockhart's office has been locked. He didn't come out, nor did he come out of the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom."
"Is there a possibility of a Confusion Charm?" Harry looked at Dumbledore.
Dumbledore waved the wand in his hand: "Don't worry, I just set up a spell, and I will be able to sense it if he leaves."
That is to say...
He didn't take advantage of checking other professors to give the thing to others in secret, as Harry and Dumbledore guessed.
Is Lockhart's suspicion reduced?
The three of them got up and hurried to the Chamber of Secrets.
Just like the first time they came back, it was empty.
There is no basilisk, no books, and not even a trace of new things.
"Severus." Dumbledore called out affectionately after walking out of the Chamber of Secrets.
"I know." Snape said with great disgust, "I will keep an eye on Lockhart for you, but maybe it's better for you to leave it to Professor Flitwick."
He paused and continued: "Lockhart's head is filled with at least a hundred owl droppings. He wants to set up a duel club recently and bothers me every day."
Dumbledore seemed to remember something interesting and chuckled: "At least there are only a hundred, right? Filius can't do it. He wants to use the de-aging spell on Lockhart, let him go back to Hogwarts, and educate him again. Of course, he is sent to other colleges for education."
Snape sneered.
Harry was a little puzzled. What is owl droppings? A joke similar to fecal stone?
"Lockhart was a jerk when he was little." Dumbledore continued with a smile, "That's the most memorable thing since I became the headmaster."
"On Valentine's Day, he got 800 owls from somewhere and sent love letters to himself. It was a terrible breakfast."
"Severus hadn't graduated yet, and he suffered with us."
Snape snorted with gritted teeth.
"Thanks, he's just my professor." Harry thought of that scene, and felt more disgusted than eating two pounds of evil spirits.
Until the end of the holiday, no students were attacked again.
Lockhart was quiet and obedient - of course, this was not the case for Snape, who was very noisy and came to the door every day to discuss the duel club.
How to design the stage and what kind of cool way to appear.
He even hinted that Snape could perform with him and let him win heartily, but Snape took out his wand and refused with gritted teeth.
Snape complained to Dumbledore more than once. He would rather believe that the Dark Lord would choose to possess a giant monster than such a stupid creature.
The little wizards are not very free.
They can only squat in the common room every day. Meals are delivered by elves on time. The advantage is that they can order dishes. Ron has eaten from Iceland to Cyprus in the past few days.
Ginny came back the day before school started.
St. Mungo's checked her inside and out. The Oblivion Curse only made her a little dazed. She only needed to rest for a month or two, and there were no other side effects.
As for the Imperius Curse...
It is one of the Unforgivable Curses. St. Mungo's cannot detect it, so it can only be physically isolated.
The holiday is over.
The little wizards who just returned to the castle received an extremely exciting New Year's gift-Hogwarts has become more unsafe. During the Christmas holiday, another person was attacked.
This made the little wizards regret taking the train.
Isn't it good to be at home?
Hermione listened to Ron's exaggerated description, blinked blankly, and grabbed Harry's hand: "So, you haven't caught the dark magic item of that...you-know-who?"
