Chapter 246 We only Need a Small Spell to Solve the Problem Now!

Ivan shook his head, forgetting the uneasiness in his heart, turned to look at the Gryffindor table, and said.

"Hals, come out with me. I have something to ask you! In addition, the prefect is responsible for maintaining order here when I am not around!"

Ivan felt that the time for the Polyjuice Potion was almost up, so he took Lockhart out of the large exhibition hall, but did not notice Hermione staring at them.

The two of them went all the way back to the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, waiting for the time for the Polyjuice Potion to pass before they regained their identities.

Ivan carefully told Lockhart what he had done under the identity of "Lockhart" tonight, and told him not to reveal his identity.

Lockhart heard Ivan talk about the attack and asked curiously. "What happened to the Hufflepuff girl who was attacked? Is she still alive?"

"Still alive! It's just that Madam Pomfrey said that the girl had a lot of life force sucked away, and she doesn't know if she will wake up later." Ivan sighed.

According to what happened to Ginny in the original time and space, I am afraid that the Horcrux needs to be destroyed in order to heal the two attacked people.

At the same time, Ivan was also a little surprised as to why Tom always found such a young girl.

Is it simply because it’s easier to cheat? Or is it that Tom Riddle discriminates against boys in school and is unwilling to suck their life force?

After Lockhart learned that no one was killed, he was not interested in asking any more questions, and then complained about Ivan's performance in the duel today.

He spent a full three thousand gold galleons, thinking that he would be able to shine on the stage, but in the end he almost lost to Snape.

"This is not in line with my identity!" Lockhart said depressedly.

Ivan rolled his eyes, not bothering to pay attention to Lockhart, who had no self-awareness at all, and warned him not to talk nonsense when he returned to the great hall, lest he be exposed and implicate himself.

After passing a corner, they both stopped.

The little brown-haired witch in the corridor in front of them was staring at them angrily.

"Hermione?" Ivan was very surprised. He didn't expect that Hermione, who had always followed the rules, would sneak out of the auditorium and seemed to have heard their conversation just now.

"Don't worry, this is what I'm good at. We just need a little spell now!" Lockhart took out the wand from his sleeve in a fancy way and was about to use the Oblivion Charm to solve the problem.

Ivan turned around and glared at him.

Lockhart had no choice but to put away his wand again, stepped back step by step, and said coquettishly. "Then you guys chat slowly. I suddenly remembered something else so I won't disturb you."

Hermione ignored Lockhart who left, but scolded angrily. "How could you help Lockhart, a liar, and join forces with him to deceive us!"

The little witch was as angry as a lioness. After hearing the conversation between Ivan and Lockhart, she quickly figured out why Lockhart's strength had been fluctuating in recent months. It was Ivan who was helping him.

"Hermione!" Ivan suddenly interrupted the little witch's words of condemnation. In case there were other people wandering around the castle, he lowered his voice and said seriously. "This is because we are doing something very important."

Before the anger in Hermione's heart could be vented, she was calmed down by Ivan's words, and she looked at him in surprise.

"You should be aware of the attacks these days. I need to use Professor Lockhart's identity to investigate some suspicious students." Ivan talked eloquently, but naturally ignored the income he earned from Lockhart. He learned a lot about gold galleons.

Is that so? Hermione always felt like something was wrong

However, before Hermione could figure it out, Ivan continued to reveal that this attack was probably another conspiracy of the mysterious man. The mysterious man must have used some means to confuse a student in the school to carry out his evil plan. plan of.

"Then what should we do? Have you and Lockhart figured out who the attacker is?" Hermione's attention was immediately attracted and she said worriedly.

Seeing that Hermione no longer mentioned the fact that he used Polyjuice Potion to transform into Lockhart, Ivan quietly breathed a sigh of relief and turned to speak.

"That's pretty much it. The attacker should be one of the two girls who didn't come. Filch, who Enlai informed us about, may also be a suspect!"

Ivan filtered the list of suspects in his mind. Most of the students, including Snape and Lockhart, were in the large exhibition hall tonight, so it was impossible to attack outside.

The other staff in the school are very capable and knowledgeable, so it is unlikely that Tom will confuse them.

Hermione nodded listening to Ivan's analysis, but suddenly remembered something, pursed her lips and asked aloud. "Then why is your bracelet on Luna's hand tonight?"

Ivan didn't mean to hide anything. He told the story about being recognized by Luna when he entered the duel field, and then continued.

"So I temporarily lent my bracelet to Luna to silence her and let her cover for me."

"What about me? Now I know it as well as she does" Hermione asked suddenly, her brown eyes staring at Ivan.

"How about I ask Lockhart to sign autographs for you? I can sign hundreds of copies!" Ivan scratched his head, vaguely remembering that Hermione was Lockhart's number one fan.

"I don't want it! Don't mention that liar to me again!" Hermione gritted her teeth in anger when she remembered that she had posted Lockhart's mugshot in her dorm room.

The two sneaked back to the auditorium. Since he lost his identity as a professor, Ivan could only stay at the Gryffindor table and wait for the outcome of the matter.

It wasn't until late at night that Dumbledore hurried over. After communicating with Snape for a while, he said in a deep voice.

"I think you need to rest here for the night today!"

Dumbledore waved his wand, and the dean desks flew up, automatically stacked in the corners, and hundreds of purple sleeping bags appeared in the empty spaces.

"Everyone, have a good rest. In addition, I hope that the prefects can guard the entrance. The male and female student council presidents are responsible for maintaining order. If you find anything wrong, you can send a ghost to report to me immediately!"

After Dumbledore finished speaking, he walked out of the auditorium. There was a burst of discussion in the hall. Everyone understood that the matter might be more serious than they imagined, otherwise they wouldn't even be able to go back to their dormitory.

Ron analyzed seriously whether there would be a second person attacked tonight. Just as he continued to spread panic, he felt an inexplicable chill behind him. He turned his head slightly tremblingly and realized that it was Snape who had not left yet.
