Hogwarts: Where are the Pokémon?

Chapter 195 Lockhart, the Death Eater

Grindelwald would want to get the power in the chamber of secrets left by Slytherin, which is actually not so difficult to understand.

Almost half a century ago, when Grindelwald lost a duel to Dumbledore, his invincible Elder Wand changed hands.Although he himself has a magic wand, it is still a bit inferior to those legendary wands.

In addition, there are not so many people who know the whereabouts of the snakewood wand. Many people only know that "Voldemort" took a tree from Ilvermorny not long ago and turned it into a wand, but who knew that? Is the first wand a Slytherin wand?

Even if not, Slytherin's secret room is likely to contain Slytherin's legacy. If the great wizard's legacy can be obtained, it will be much easier for Grindelwald to make a comeback.

Perhaps because of this reason, in the following period of time, Lockhart was very concerned about finding the successor who opened the Chamber of Secrets.

Both Xia Lin and Dumbledore were tacit about this, especially Dumbledore, who thought that Lockhart might be one of Grindelwald's followers, so he hardly explained to any professor about him.

But in fact, both of them were wrong.

Lockhart is not a saint at all, let alone Grindelwald himself!
"Who is the heir of Slytherin? It can't be Harry Potter!" Lockhart thought, subconsciously sticking out his tongue and licking his lips, "The heir of Slytherin can only be Harry Potter!" From Slytherin!"

"I remember 50 years ago - when the master was still in school, the secret room was opened. Who opened the secret room last time?" A huge figure flashed through Lockhart's mind.

— Rubeus Hagrid?
It's ridiculous to think about it.

There is no doubt that the big brainless man is nothing more than a scapegoat.The person who can really open the Chamber of Secrets can only be the great Dark Lord, Voldemort himself!
Lockhart became emotional. Who would have thought that he just came to Hogwarts to see how powerful the so-called Pokémon who defeated their masters were, and that they happened to encounter such a thing.

"I knew it! I knew it!"

"How could the Lord Dark Lord be killed?"

"He's at Hogwarts!"

"He's at Hogwarts!"

Lockhart's expression gradually went mad, as long as he found the person who opened the secret room, he would be able to see the Dark Lord again!The facial features on his face twisted abruptly, waking him up from the excitement.

He took a gulp of the compound medicine before he stabilized.

Then, a new problem came before his eyes—who is the one who opened the secret room?

Going around and around, after all, I still can't escape the truth.

Lockhart thought about it and decided to start with Hagrid.Although that idiot could not be the one who opened the secret room, after all, he has some connection with the secret room. What happened 50 years ago was too long ago, even he didn't know it very well.

Lockhart couldn't wait to rush out of his office, planning to walk over to Hagrid's cabin.But soon, he stopped.

Because when passing the playground, he ran into the conflicting Slytherin team and the Gryffindor team.

Even in Hogwarts with Pokémon, Quidditch is still one of the most popular sports for little wizards.After all, who would say no to the thrill of flying?However, because of Pokémon, the training progress of the teams of the four academies is now very slow.

This conflict that was supposed to happen before Halloween actually didn't appear until now.

A group of Slytherin team held a new row of brooms in their hands, looking proudly at the lion cubs opposite.Lockhart saw Malfoy, who was not tall but very conspicuous in the crowd, and immediately became annoyed.

"Son of the Betrayer!"

He recited a sentence fiercely, and walked towards the playground aggressively.

He didn't think much of the Malfoy family at first, but now, since he got out of trouble, he heard that the annihilation of the Death Eaters this time had a lot to do with the betrayal of Malfoy and Snape, so he saw the obtrusive head White-haired Lockhart felt annoyed and angry.

So he immediately walked over there.

"At least none of the Gryffindor players need to spend money to join the team. They come in entirely by ability."

Lockhart heard the Mudblood witch named Hermione screeching sarcastically.

Malfoy's face darkened with satisfaction.

But surprisingly, he didn't say any dirty words.This can't help but make Lockhart curse inwardly, as expected of Malfoy's son, even this cowardly appearance is perfectly inherited from Lucius.Being ridiculed to such an extent, he didn't even say a word of cruelty.

In fact, Malfoy still respects Hermione now, and under the influence of Xia Lin, he doesn't have much dislike for a very capable wizard like Hermione.

A noble lineage may not necessarily lead to some achievements. A person's ability is the most important thing.

It just so happens that Hermione Granger is a very capable witch.

But passively being scolded is obviously not in Malfoy's character.

"Shut up, Granger! If you are not convinced, you can compete with me!" Malfoy immediately took out a Poké Ball provocatively.He hasn't tried the rice spoon snake's strength that he got from that book!
"I can deal with you without Hermione making a move!" Ron immediately stopped in front of Hermione.

"—Enough!" Lockhart stopped the struggle in time, and the little wizards still gave proper respect to this slightly exaggerated substitute teacher of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

"Professor," Wood squeezed out of the crowd, "We booked the stadium first! It was agreed a long time ago that the practice of each academy team and the time of the Pokémon Club are staggered. Today, the playground belongs to us!"

"But we also have a note approved by the professor." Marcus Flint said without showing any weakness. He didn't deliberately find fault, but the game was approaching, and they had to step up their training time.As for the Pokémon Club, several non-participations are allowed.

"Then come first, friends." Lockhart favored Harry Potter over Slytherin without hesitation.On the one hand, it was because he hated Malfoy, on the other hand, he was also disguising himself, just like Snape was "forced" to fight against Harry before.

Who would have thought that the person who helped Harry Potter everywhere would be a subordinate of the Dark Lord?

In fact, as he wished, both Dumbledore and Xia Lin, although they both found out that something was wrong with him, mistook him for Grindelwald's subordinate.

For this reason, Dumbledore also specifically asked the guards of Nurmengard, but the news he got said that Grindelwald had begun to repent.

This made him wonder if it was a decision made by one of Grindelwald's followers without authorization.

After dismissing the unsightly Malfoy, Lockhart felt better.

"Thank you, Professor!" Harry said happily.

For this substitute teacher who occasionally appeared in the classroom, Harry had already turned from regret to acceptance at the beginning, and even Ron thought that Lockhart was worthy of the name-except for the elimination of goblins.

Hermione, who likes to read books, naturally admires Lockhart, but not to the extent of the original book.

In the original book, Hermione became a fan of Lockhart because of his good looks, but now—it's not like she hasn't seen a handsome guy before.If Lockhart wants to confuse her, let's write "I Travel with Pokémon" first.

"Hands up!"

Harry continued training with the rest of the players, and Hermione and Ron invited Lockhart to sit in the stands.

"Professor, why are you here?"

"I'll take a stroll around to see if I can find any clues." Lockhart said in a dutiful tone, "Although it was only Mr. Filch's cat that had an accident last time, no matter there is a secret room It was opened, or someone's prank, it's a bit too much!"

"The cat has not been petrified now. Professor Xia Lin kindly gave Mr. Filch a mouse, but it didn't cheer him up. Although I'm just a substitute teacher, since I'm in this school, I need to do my part, too! Just because you say no little wizard has been injured yet doesn't mean you can't ignore it. I don't think Professor Dumbledore has done a good enough job of that."

Hearing this, both Hermione and Ron couldn't help but nodded.

In fact, they also feel as if the professors don't pay much attention to this matter.

Even Professor Xia Lin didn't seem to want to get involved.

In fact, after the last attack, they approached Professor Xia Lin and told them about their guesses about Malfoy.But Professor Xia Lin thinks they must have enough evidence.

Now, seeing Lockhart take this matter so seriously, they felt a kind of affection.

Hermione was still hesitating whether to share her guesses.I heard Lockhart say again: "I'll go find Rubeus Hagrid. He's been a gamekeeper at Hogwarts for a long time. I believe he may be able to give me some useful information. If you find any clues, you can come Find me."

With that said, Lockhart stood up, patted his butt, and walked towards Hagrid's cabin.

Looking at his back, Ron opened his mouth and said, "Hermione, what do you think will happen if we tell Professor Lockhart about our suspicion of Malfoy?"

"That... just ask Harry." Hermione still couldn't make up her mind in the end.

Finally, after Harry finished training, before he even had time to change his clothes, Hermione told him what they had just thought.

"What a vulgar Professor Lockhart?" Harry frowned.

He was actually reluctant to tell the professor about this, after all, as Xia Lin said, they actually had no evidence.

"But we can ask him for help! Hermione, what if he'd give us the Restricted Section note?"

Hermione had mentioned to them before that if they wanted to refine the compound potion, they had to get the book "Powerful Potion", and it happened that the location of this book was in the restricted area.But if you want to enter the restricted area, you must have a teacher's approval note, but Hogwarts probably doesn't have such a stupid teacher.

"If he also wants to find the murderer, maybe he will help us!" Ron's eyes brightened, "Then let's go, he went to find Hagrid just now."

Several people hurried towards Hagrid's cabin.

Knocked on the door, a big man came out.There is also a small Charmander in his arms.

It was hatched from the egg that Xia Lin had agreed to give him, but it was taken back by Xia Lin at that time. Although Hagrid's temperament has not changed much now, he is not so confused about magical animals and Pokémon. the difference between.

"It's you guys! Come in and drink tea!" Hagrid was very happy. "I asked Xia Lin for some pungent fruit. Charmander likes to eat it. Do you want to try it?"

Hagrid took out a bunch of chili-like fruits, broke off one casually, and put it in his mouth.Immediately, his face was flushed from the heat.

"I have to say that the spicy one has to be spicy!"

The three little ones shook their heads crazily. It is said that no one can eat a whole of this kind of tree fruit at once!It turned out that Hahag actually ate it as a snack, which was horrible!
"Hagrid, we're here to see Professor Lockhart."

"Lockhart?" Hagrid was taken aback, tears welled up in his eyes, "Good man! He's such a good man!"

In the original book, Hagrid hated Lockhart very much, but he was full of praise for Lockhart on this deck.He even used a very important word in his meager vocabulary - good man!
"Actually, I didn't like him before, not just me, ask other teachers and students in the school, everyone is the same! No one likes Lockhart! He did too many ridiculous things, but After so many years, he has changed a lot!"

Hagrid became more and more emotional as he spoke, and simply picked up the tablecloth and wiped away his tears and snot.

A loud, trumpet-like sound of blowing their noses almost deafened the ears of the three little wizards.

"What's the matter with him, Hagrid?"

"Oh—nothing, but he's willing to believe me, and nobody but Dumbledore is willing to believe me—" said Hagrid, weeping.This scene shocked Harry and the others.A big man of two or three meters showed a posture of a small bird, and anyone who looked at it would find it a bit weird.

But compared to these, Harry cared more about what Hagrid said, but Hagrid didn't want to reveal more.

Several people returned without success, and Lockhart did not stay with Hagrid for long.

But isn't it easy to find a professor at Hogwarts?

That night, the three of Harry found Lockhart.

"professor--"

"It's you, what's the matter so late?"

"No, it's just - we wanted to ask if you could approve a note for us to borrow a book from the Restricted Section?" Harry said bravely.

"Regarding the last attack, we have a subject of suspicion but no proof, perhaps—"
