Hermione, join me as Minister of Magic!

"Below 2X? You mean, you can't even bring Xixiu on stage (Xixiu is 3X)?" Fred said with a smile.

"What's wrong with Niffler? Niffler can also block the Killing Curse." Percy argued

George also echoed Fred and dismantled Percy: "Okay everyone, Percy just likes to make some small jokes sometimes, we suggest changing it to at least 4X."

Obviously, the twin brothers understand the theory of "If you want to open the window, you have to pull off the ceiling". 4X is the level of thestrals, crooked monsters, horse monsters, and phoenixes.

Speaking of Percy, not even the rest of the Gryffindors could agree with them.

In the end, everyone unified their opinions and stipulated that the maximum level allowed to be brought on stage was 3X, that is, the level of the big-headed monster, wicked bird and sea snake.

Percy is very unhappy about this, because the 3X class also has fire crabs, fire snakes and hippogriffs.

Despite his stubbornness, the result of the collective vote was 7 in favor, 4 against, and 1 abstention, and he had to use this result to make rules.

"Remember your decision today, and you will regret it when something goes wrong." After Percy warned, he left the Dueling Club angrily with a few people who supported him.

Colin Creevey, who abstained from voting, was also a little embarrassed. He hastily excused himself to print the photos of the game that he took today, and left the auditorium.

After Percy was pissed off and the other students dispersed, the twins clapped their hands in celebration.

"They didn't mention restrictions on props!" Fred said proudly.

"Just say that the power cannot exceed the Stunning Spell." George rubbed his chin, and also acted like a successful trick.

"No more than the Stunning Spell... This is a difficult goal to define. As long as you don't lose consciousness immediately, the power should not exceed it."

"Maybe they mean as long as no one gets killed."

"My God, they forgot to discuss such an important standard issue."

"We also forgot to remind them."

"what a pity."

"Yes."

Then, they took out a lot of fireworks from their arms at the same time, and laughed sinisterly.

At night, when Lockhart was lying on the bed and was beginning to feel confused, he was suddenly summoned from the bed by the principal's office.

"Gidero, I shouldn't disturb you so late, but please come to the school hospital immediately." Dumbledore's voice seemed a little heavy.

Feeling that Dumbledore's tone was different, Lockhart put on a coat and went downstairs directly to the school hospital on the second floor.

Madam Pomfrey opened the door for him with a solemn face, and reminded him to be mentally prepared

Entering the ward, Lockhart immediately saw Dumbledore in pajamas and a nightcap.

U!

Although the nightcap like Santa Claus is matched with Dumbledore's glasses and

The beard made him look a little funny, but Lockhart couldn't help but laugh.

Because I saw the person lying on the hospital bed, Colin Creevey.

He was frozen and motionless, exactly like Mrs. Norris

"How could this be?" Lockhart asked openly.

He remembered that this kid was attacked when he was going to see Harry Potter in the school hospital. Now that Harry wasn't forced to drink Bone Spirit because of his messing around, why would Colin still be petrified?

The first time Voldemort was about to attack Harry was after the deathday party, but he bumped into the cat halfway, and the second time was when he was going to sneak attack Harry at the school hospital, but he bumped into Colin Creevey again. So this time...

"The guy from the Dueling Club testified that he wanted to have the daytime photo developed, but at the same time his roommate said he had run out of developing potions... When we found him,

He collapsed on the steps from the second floor to the third floor. We guess he may have come to you to ask for the development potion. "

Lockhart clenched his fists.

Chapter 72 Hermione's plan

If Colin Creevey's attack was to be blamed on Lockhart, Lockhart really had no way to refute it.

He thinks with his ass and probably knows what's going on - it must be tom oley

After Del learned from Ginny that "Professor Lockhart may have clues to the secret room" and that the investigation would require a lot of fighting" and that "the Gunter family has remodeled the toilet plumbing", he became murderous to himself.

Others don't know, doesn't Voldemort understand what this means?He must have guessed that he knew some real clues before he dared to attack him

Lockhart was paralyzed by the fact that "self" and all the professors had not been attacked in the original book. He thought that the 15-year-old Voldemort was still a student and did not dare to attack the professor, but he seemed to ignore the courage of this daring bastard.

Very good, I failed to warn you, but you are planning to attack me in the end, right? "Did you hear anything, Gilderoy?" Dumbledore asked.

Lockhart's face was livid: "...No, because the sound of wind and rain on the tower is too noisy

, I will cast a silence spell on my office and dormitory at night. "

Dumbledore also seemed to understand something: it seems that it is better not to sleep too much. "

CC said"

AE

"So, which students have you talked to about this? I mean that you have some clues to the Chamber of Secrets." Dumbledore wanted to know how much Lockhart knew.

"Weekend member of my Dueling Club."

"It seems that the range of suspects has been further narrowed, isn't it?" Dumbledore continued to ask calmly.

<<Yue Nai

At-

Lockhart knew that Snape had told Dumbledore about the diary, but Dumbledore was still pretending to be confused with himself, and felt a little annoyed.

"It seems that I have to put a "safety guard" on my room before I go to bed at night. oo But principal, although it is not ruled out that someone in the duel club has already revealed it to the outside world, but if you consider that there is no alibi during Halloween, The two ranges appear to have overlapped. "

Dumbledore tightened his lips, and then slowly opened his mouth: "Who

■

"Gryffindor's first year, Ginny Weasley...and she was one of the first to know that Harry was going to the Deathday Party." Lockhart said, staring at Dumbledore's expression.

Dumbledore's expression finally fluctuated, which was the first time in Lockhart's memory.

"This speculation is really amazing...that's just a first-year student, it's impossible to have the ability to cast advanced dark arts, and the Weasleys are such good people, and her wand is also unicorn hair..."

"You don't have to explain this to me, you just have to tell me what to do.

Although Lockhart still had a smile on his face, Dumbledore knew exactly what he meant.

"...It seems that the object of our doubts is the same, but Gildero, I don't know if I have the face to keep you silent?"

"That depends on what is being traded. As you know, as long as people have desires, they will have weaknesses. But I always want to say that Mr. Creevey's family entered Huobi because of their trust in me. Gewartz is a student, and I have to take responsibility for this matter."

Dumbledore's gaze fell on Lockhart's face from above the glasses, as if to confirm whether he was telling the truth.

Make up as you wish. ’ he said.

The attack on Colin Creevey finally caused panic among the students at school.

Unlike the previous time when only one cat was unlucky, the petrified person this time was a large living person. These two things are completely different concepts.

Although the school has repeatedly stated that no one will die, this does not bring much comfort to people, because the preparation of the potion will not be until next spring, and the students think that they will spend half a year unconscious in bed. I felt a chill in my heart

"It's terrible." Hermione said to Harry and the others when she was doing her homework.

Judging from the expressions of Ron and Harry, their thoughts have been petrified for half a year. What are you still thinking about the exam?

Wu Jin said that Professor Lockhart had gone to the hospital to accompany Colin, and he thought it was his fault. Harry said with some guilt, "You guys think, shouldn't I tell them about hearing the unusual voice?" "

Ron hesitated.

He had wanted to persuade Harry not to, but his stance softened a bit after the incident of the students being attacked.

"You can tell Dumbledore," he suggested.

Harry looked around cautiously to make sure no one was listening to them before lowering his voice and whispering his thoughts to his companion.

"Whoever it is, that guy must be coming for me. I didn't suffer when I was playing.

Are you hurt?Later I went to the school hospital, but Madam Pomfrey cured me in the blink of an eye, so I didn't stay in the school hospital, but that guy was lurking around the school hospital.

Both Ron and Hermione frowned.

"There is indeed a possibility." Hermione said, "It seems that we need to speed up the investigation... But this may violate 50 school rules, you have to be mentally prepared

The two were surprised: "Are you joking? Violating school rules? You?"

"What's the matter? This is a matter related to the life of the whole school." Hermione said naturally, "I have a plan and have been collecting materials, but it was useless in the end."

"What materials to collect?"

Hermione obviously thought it through carefully: "The compound potion one by one can turn you into the person you want to be, thanks to Professor Lockhart allowing me to borrow books from the restricted section, I found it from "Power Potion" recipe, we can use it to get into the Slytherin common room and question Malfoy."

Harry and Ron couldn't believe it: "When did you..."

"When we wanted to investigate what exactly Snape threatened Professor Lockhart, I had this plan... well, don't interrupt, listen, we still need a key medicinal ingredient, you have to cooperate with me. "

The two older boys nodded foolishly: "What is it?"

"African tree snake skin, but anyone who orders this thing must be registered by the Ministry of Magic, it is difficult to get it, so I plan to steal it from Snape's storage room, you just need to attract Snape's attention outside That's fine, I'll start to steal, after all, I have no criminal record."

The two of Harry looked at each other.

Hermione had already arranged everything, the two of them were men after all, and by the time

It seems a little unreasonable to talk about fleeing after this.

"I'll go to Fred and George to borrow some fireworks... if we say we're messing with Snape, they'll," said Ron.

Chapter 73 Snake Pie and Lion Pie

After Colin was attacked, Lockhart arranged five or six warning and protective spells before going to bed every day. Not only did he wear protective contact lenses on his eyes, but even his close-fitting nightgown was replaced with a dragon skin lining.

Although it is a bit uncomfortable to sleep like this, compared with Xiaoming, these are relatively not so important.

He clearly knew where the murderer was, but Lockhart still had to be so passive. This feeling was really indescribably uncomfortable.

Because he didn't dare to cast the Silencing Charm anymore, and the equipment on his body made him sleep very uncomfortable, Lockhart's dark circles had stayed on his face for more than half a month.

If you add that when you go home for Thanksgiving, Lockhart's mother keeps telling him to "get married quickly and find a good woman to take care of yourself", the pressure on Lockhart is even greater.

His anxiety was noticed almost immediately by some attentive students.

One day, Hermione specially brewed a small pot of palliative, and knocked on the door of his office.

Lockhart opened the door, only to see Hermione holding a mouthful of bubbling little W, stammeringly explaining why she came, and advising him "don't be too tired"

"Ah, palliative! This is the difficult part of .W丄?s!" Lockhart exclaimed, "I doubt you can get Potions even if you propose to graduate now."

"I just tried it according to the recipe in "Advanced Potion Making." Hermione looked very embarrassed, thinking that it would be successful just once. "

Seeing her like this, Lockhart made a small joke by the way: "There is no love potion mixed in."

After a "bang", as Hermione covered her face and quickly escaped from his office, there was only half of the pot of mitigant left, and the remaining half was fed to the map carpet.

"Just kidding! I'm kidding!" Lockhart called after her.

Hermione ran even faster.

Although Lockhart felt better after drinking the palliative, he also reconfirmed one point-that is, this is not going to work, and he has to talk to Dumbledore.

Originally, he wanted to take the initiative and wait for Dumbledore to take the initiative to talk to him about this matter, but now he found that he was the one who couldn't bear it first.

There is no way, the crime of non-war, the pressure brought by Voldemort is too great.

"Chilled lemonade!" he yelled at the statue in front of the headmaster's office.

Dumbledore didn't seem surprised by Lockhart's arrival, as if he knew that Lockhart would come to talk to him sooner or later.

"Ah, Gildero! It's just in time! The reply from the International Federation of Wizards has come, and I'm happy to tell you that they are willing to add a British representative, but they hope you can go to France next summer to discuss Let’s talk about the business cooperation and fundraising related matters of the Triwizard Tournament.”

"Thank you, Headmaster, but I'm not here to talk about that today, but about my personal future... and the looming security concerns."

"The future? Of course it's bright! Don't tell me you have doubts about it yourself?" Dumbledore asked back.

Lockhart forced himself to smile: "It's hard to say, it depends on whether you care about my life, and whether you have a correct understanding of the rights and interests that I may bring to you.

"How do you say that?"
