Hogwarts: Please graduate soon

yes, why did the murderer have to be a student?

Isn't Lockhart one of the newcomers?

And, most crucially, he's also a Defence Against the Dark Arts professor.

In this position full of criminal records, it is not surprising that what kind of people appear.

It's just that everyone hasn't thought about it all this time.

Lockhart just didn't use a little bit and made a lot of jokes, but he didn't look like a bad guy at all.

Thinking about it today, they realized that something was wrong.

"I'll go back first. The girl who first thought of Lockhart said, picked up the book and walked out of the library.

The others also got up to say goodbye, eager to go back and share their amazing discoveries with others.

In the end, Grace was the only one left.

"That's it. The senpai's seductive red lips curled up and continued to look at the book in her hand.

"How to Tempt a Married Witch Really Makes sense..."

"So fast?"

In the Hufflepuff lounge, Vane looked at Grace with surprise on his face.

"How long do you think it will take?" Senior Sister rolled her eyes: "As long as you talk to the gossip people, it means that everyone else will know." "

"Well done. Wayne gave a thumbs up and praised, "You're a great fit to work at the newspaper." "

"By the way, senior sister, what are you going to fill in the employment tendency?"

"I'm going to travel around the world first, go to work or something, and I'll talk about it if I want to. "

At the end of the semester, Grace is graduating from school.

Year 7 students fill out an employment questionnaire around Easter, or volunteer, and the school will be in charge of making contacts.

However, it is not guaranteed to enter, but only to provide an interview opportunity.

Vane knew that Grace's grades were good, and she thought she would say that the Ministry of Magic, or Gringotts was a popular choice, but she didn't expect to get a very different answer.

"Surprised?" said Grace, leaning back on the sofa and lazily saying, "I'm tired enough to go to school, and I won't have any free time to go to work as soon as I graduate." "

"Money can be earned at any time, but youth is only a few years. "

"If you don't play now, you won't be able to play when you're old. "

"It's easy enough. Wayne could only give a thumbs up and admire her mentality.

"Isn't there still you?" Grace suddenly leaned over, leaning on Vane's body and said pitifully:

"In the future, if Senior Sister can't afford to eat, you have to help me. "

"Senior sister rest assured. Vane nodded vigorously: "When the time comes, I will support you with the money that the rich woman gave me." "

Grace was slightly stunned after hearing this, and then laughed.

"Okay, it's a deal!"

The gossip power of girls is endless.

Grace's routine was very effective, and on the evening of the day, Lockhart became the first suspect.

In everyone's minds, an adult wizard is much more reliable than a first-year freshman to do evil.

What's more, it's a toxic post of a Defence Against the Dark Arts professor.

The little wizards aligned the granularity, expanded the incremental market, focused on the core values, gave full play to their own subjective initiative, and decided to take the initiative.

They were going to complain directly to Dumbledore, as they had done last time.

The badgers approached Vane and wanted him to take the lead, but Vane refused.

"I'm not going, it's not my idea, and I advise you not to go along. "

Vane reminded, "If Lockhart wasn't the murderer, slandering the professor would be punished severely. "

"It's better to send an anonymous letter, and if you find out, you will not admit it. "

The little wizard nodded repeatedly.

With the experience of Vane, when they went to deliver the letter to the Dripping Beast on the eighth floor, the badgers covered their faces and changed the Hufflepuff badge on their clothes to those of other houses.

It's not Slytherins who bear the blame the most, it's Gryffindor.

This kind of thing can be done by a lion cub at first glance.

When Lockhart collapsed and reappeared at the school, all the little wizards who touched him hid away as if he were some kind of ferocious monster.

Just as Lockhart was scratching his head, Snape appeared in front of him.

This time it was Lockhart's turn to step back again and again, and his face turned white.

"Severus, those little dwarfs really didn't instruct me, and I was wronged!"

On the evening of Valentine's Day, Snape burst into his office, subdued him with an angry face, and said it was a greeting card he had sent.

Before he had time to refute, he was filled with a whole bottle of life and death water in his mouth.

I slept until today and woke up, and I almost didn't starve to death.

"It doesn't matter if it's you or not~. Snape sneered, "Come with me, Professor Dumbledore is looking for you." "

Lockhart didn't know why, but he followed him anyway.

An hour later, Lockhart walked out of the principal's office with a smile on his face and walked briskly back to his office.

But the moment the door was closed, the false smile disappeared and was replaced by solemnity.

Sitting at his desk, Lockhart pulled out his diary from the bottom of the drawer and wrote quickly.

"Tom, what should I do, the little wizard in the school has already suspected me. "

The ink was absorbed, and after a few moments, a line of writing resurfaced.

[Mr. Lockhart, don't worry, I don't know the situation yet, please describe it in detail.] 】

Lockhart wrote down everything Dumbledore had told him in his journal.

This time, Tom's reaction was slower, and it took a full two minutes before he replied:

[It's really a simple and crude way of reasoning, but it's also crooked, and I found the right master. 】

[You say, are we too unlucky.] 】

"Tom, now is not the time to say cool things, the main thing is how to prove my innocence. "

"No, it's to get rid of suspicion. "

Lockhart wrote irritably, and the font became sloppy.

If Vane were here, he would have been surprised by the relationship between the two and Lockhart's attitude.

In his imagination, a fool like Lockhart must be slowly eroded by Tom's mind, take control of his body, and then Tom will do whatever he wants.

But that's not the case now.

Lockhart clearly knew what he was doing, and he knew it had something to do with Tom.

[Don't be nervous, they don't have evidence, and the secret room is not something that these people can find, otherwise I would have been imprisoned in Azkaban fifty years ago. 】

[If you want to get rid of suspicion, it's actually very simple, just launch another attack.] 】

Lockhart couldn't believe his eyes, and was stunned for a while before he wrote:

"You're crazy, I'm suspected, and if you attack again, Dumbledore will be even more wary of me. "

[As long as there is an alibi, don't you have that thing, you should be able to use it a few more times, right?]

Lockhart's eyes froze.

"Last time Harry Potter was here, but those little wizards didn't care. "

[A person's testimony is always pale, so you need more witnesses.] 】

Tom slowly wrote down his plan, and after reading it, Lockhart decisively agreed.

[I don't have the strength to open the Chamber of Secrets now, Mr. Lockhart, I need your help. 】

"What do you want?" Lockhart warned.

[Some simple creatures and materials, please don't worry, I'm just a memory, and I'm serving you wholeheartedly.] 】

[I was the one who attacked the students, and I was the one who opened the secret room, and later you destroyed me and made it public, you are the hero who saved the school.] 】

[When the time comes, you will not only be able to obtain the Order of Merlin of the first class, but also gain great prestige, and it is not a fantasy to become the Minister of Magic. 】

Lockhart's breathing became rapid, but he was still not convinced.

"I still don't understand what you can get by this, Tom. "

"Why do I feel like you're more concerned than I am? "

After two seconds of silence, Tom gave the answer.

[My purpose is to get revenge on Dumbledore, he destroyed me in the first place, I didn't mean to kill the student, but he insisted on thinking that I was the murderer, and I died depressed. 】

[Before I died, I put all my thoughts, magic, and memories into my diary, just to take revenge on him. 】

[Mr. Lockhart, you don't have to worry about me being a threat to you, I'm just a memory. 】

Lockhart's face softened slightly.

yes, it's just a memory, a magical item.

And what he's best at is dealing with memory.

Eventually, Lockhart made up his mind.

He knew what he was doing, but the benefits were too great to resist the temptation.

Attack with the help of a secret room, then destroy the basilisk as a savior, destroy the diary, and he will gain unparalleled prestige.

As long as he is not discovered, he is not in any danger.

A mere diary, without the help of his power, what kind of storm can it set off?

Thinking of this, Lockhart couldn't help but smile.

The stronger the wind and waves, the more expensive the fish will be.

Since it's all an attack, let's make a big deal out of it. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Two days later, a notice of the new issue of the Dueling Club was posted on the bulletin board.

If it had been in the past, the little wizards would have been very happy.

But thinking of Lockhart's recent comments, there are many young wizards who are afraid and don't want to participate.

In this way, when the evening came, there were two or three percent fewer young wizards in the auditorium than in the past.

Vane stood beside Cho, and the two discussed a weekend trip to Hogsmeade.

The girl was worried, "I don't know if there will be an open house in this situation." "

Last month's open house was before the attack, so it wasn't affected, but now it's not the case.

"Even if there is no open house, we can go secretly. Vane took the girl's hand: "I know a passage that can lead directly to the pig's head bar." "

"It's been a long time since I've eaten Aberforth's roast pork knuckle. "

Hearing Vane say this, Qiu swallowed his saliva unconsciously, Aberforth's craftsmanship is indeed very good.

"Where's that secret passage?"

"It's in the Room of Responsiveness. "

As the two spoke, Lockhart and Snape walked in, and the noisy auditorium fell silent.

Lockhart calmly walked to the high platform and said loudly: []

"I have a few things to say before the Dueling Club starts. "

"Recently, for some reason, there have been many rumors in the castle that I am the murderer who opened the secret room. "

"I don't care about the origin of the rumors, and I don't punish anyone for it, but I want to make one thing clear..."

Lockhart suddenly raised his voice and became impassioned:

"People who can come to Hogwarts to study are smart people, please keep your eyes open, don't fall for people with ulterior motives!"

The auditorium was still quiet, and no one dared to say anything in the open.

Lockhart didn't care, and continued: "You all know my resume, and all my life I have fought against evil. "

"I've defused vampire attacks, subdued rampaging werewolves, persuaded female ghosts to do good, and danced with snowmen. "

"The murderer hiding in the shadows was afraid of me, so he deliberately pointed the finger at me. "

"But what he doesn't know, I, Giraud Lockhart, have the Order of Merlin of the Third Degree, the winner of the Five-Time Wizarding Weekly Most Charming Smile Award, and the last thing I am afraid of is slander!"

Lockhart waved his arm vigorously: "Since I am here, I will definitely catch the murderer and give Hogwarts Castle a safe learning environment!"

"Okay, I'm done, thank you!"

Lockhart bowed deeply, and the little wizards looked at each other, not knowing who started their heads, and the auditorium burst into sparse applause.

The dueling club just started as normal.

Some students believed Lockhart's passionate speech, but most remained skeptical.

The atmosphere in the auditorium was a bit solemn, and everywhere Lockhart went, the little wizards' spells would shoot crookedly, and some of them hit Lockhart, making him embarrassed.

This made everyone's confidence in him lose a little bit.

Snape took Malfoy's place as Harry's rival.

In the name of it, he taught him to practice armor charms.

Snape just flicked his wand at random, and the various spells hit the shield in front of Harry, causing him to retreat again and again.

The old bat also mocked: "Such a fragile shield still expects to be able to protect you? I am already desperately trying to regain my strength, for fear that I will knock you down at once." "

Harry's angry eyes narrowed, and he clenched his wand and swung it out, unleashing a silent disarming spell.

A look of satisfaction flashed through Snape's eyes, and at the same time, the movement of his hand was dissatisfied, and the wand flicked the red rays away.

"Is it still there? Do you cast a spell and watch the enemy dissolve it?"

"Keep attacking, Pote!"

Bang~!

The door to the auditorium was pushed open, and Professor McGonagall strode in.

"Stop, stop!"

The students lowered their wands and looked at her quizzically.

Professor McGonagall's facial muscles twitched at this point, and her breathing became rapid as she was in a hurry.

"Prefects, register all the students present, give me the list, and then immediately return to the dormitory, and don't come out again. "

"If anyone violates it, then I will personally send him home!"

Snape instinctively felt bad and walked quickly to McGonagall's side, "Professor McGonagall, is there another attack?"

Professor McGonagall closed her eyes and nodded, "Snape, come with me, the students who have been attacked this time are Crabbe and Goyle from your house, and Barrow the Bloody. "

"What?!"

Malfoy shouted in disbelief, "You say Crabbe and Goyle?"

"How is this possible! I guess it's not an April Fool's Day. "

McGonagall immediately looked over with a sharp eagle-like gaze, "Malfoy, do you think I'm going to joke with you about this kind of thing?"

"But, but, they're all pure-bloods!" Malfoy didn't want to believe anymore.

"yes, pureblood. McGonagall glanced around, and the Slytherin snakes had expressions similar to those of Malfoy, with a deep sense of shock.

"This fully proves that everyone is in danger now, no matter which college you are a student in, don't take chances!"

With that, McGonagall pulled Snape out of the Great Hall, and behind him Lockhart shouted:

"I go with me, it's what I'm good at. "

As McGonagall had ordered, the prefects wrote down the names of all those present, and then returned to the common room with their respective students.

When we got back, everyone got together and discussed what was going on.

Vane went back to his bedroom and got into his suitcase.

"Shanaiduo. "

Syllable~!

The apparition of Shanaido appeared and came to him.

"Did you just see it, who opened the secret room?"

"Sana!"

A blue light flashed in Shanaido's eyes, and he used his telepathic ability to transmit his memories into Vane's mind.

In the picture, a tall figure wearing a hood enters the girls' bathroom on the second floor, stands in front of the faucet for a while, and then opens a secret passage.

The moment the hooded man jumped, the hat on his head fell off.

It's Lockhart!

Vane's eyes were subtle.

Things are getting more and more interesting...

At this point in time, Lockhart was in the auditorium.

Compound decoction? or... What other means are you?
