"What's going on, what's going on?" Malfoy's shout caught Filch's attention, and when he squeezed into the crowd and spotted Mrs. Norris, he was terrified and backed. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"My cat, my cat. You killed it, right, you killed my cat, I'm going to kill you. Filch spotted Harry standing at the back of the hallway, and his emotions suddenly became agitated.

"Argus. Dumbledore, who was following the crowd, had somehow reached the front of the group and stopped Filch from going violent. At the same time, Mrs. Norris was relieved.

"Follow me, Filch. Dumbledore said, "And you, Mr. Potter, Mr. Weasley, and Miss Granger. Oh, and of course you two ladies. Dumbledore winked at Holly and Erinka on purpose. Behind the thick spectacle lenses, there is still a trace of cunning that is difficult for people to detect.

"My office is the closest, upstairs, please feel free to use it, Headmaster. Lockhart came out of nowhere, courteously.

The silent crowd consciously moved out of the way, and Dumbledore walked out first, followed by an unusually nervous trio, while the two little girls showed a somewhat helpless expression. Snape and McGonagall, as well as Filch, followed. As for the other students, they returned to their respective houses under the leadership of the other two deans and prefects.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

When the group walked into Lockhart's office, no one made a sound. Dumbledore placed Mrs. Lorris on Lockhart's desk and examined it carefully.

The trio of saviors standing in the corner looked at each other, not knowing where to put their hands, and their eyes showed a nervous look. Dumbledore and McGonagall and the others gathered together to examine Mrs. Lorris, and Lockhart kept voicing his opinions. Almost everyone ignored the other two girls, and Holly didn't have any opinion, pulling Erinka to find two chairs and sit down, and opened the books she carried with her and read.

"Well, Argus, don't worry, Lady Loris is just petrified. Professor Sprout is working on Vanrick, and I think we'll be able to solve this soon. Dumbledore tried to calm Filch by explaining the problem. "As for how it got like this, I can't say..."

"Ask him. Filch screamed, turning to Harry Potter.

"It's impossible for a sophomore to do that. Dumbledore affirmed. "This requires the most advanced black magic—" He finally realized that something seemed to be missing, and turned his head to look at where Holly and Erinka had done, "Aren't the two young ladies interested in listening?"

"I think we can hear what we want to hear, Professor. Holly replied without raising his head.

"Professor Dumbledore, leave this matter to me, I think I've made hundreds of recovery requests, and I'll be able to recover this cat soon. Lockhart stepped up and said.

"I think I'm the Potions professor at Hogwarts. Snape said coldly.

A moment of silence ensued.

"You can go. Dumbledore said to the three Harry. The three of them left as fast as they could, then stopped on either side of the office door.

"Harry, why don't you go back to the dorm?" Ron asked.

"Don't you think it's strange why those two girls were there at that time, and Dumbledore had to leave them alone. ”

"What's so strange about that, the headmaster is crazy, nothing can be done. ”

After a moment of silence, the trio heard the voices of McGonagall and Flitwick outside the door. "Minerva, don't pester me to ask, there are some things I don't know. I guess Severus knows more about those two girls than I do. ”

"Severus? What do you think I can get from him about Holly? What do you think he can say other than what our generation can guess? He's the best Occlumency master at Hogwarts. ”

"Yes, but those two girls seem to have some resentment against Dumbledore, with traps in every word, and release magic from time to time, I really don't understand how the two of them usually connect with the control of magic. ”

Ten minutes ago, in Lockhart's office, the three Harry had just left.

"Dumbledore, what conditions can you offer?" Holly finally raised his head at this time, his eyes full of vigilance and hostility.

"There are no conditions, I think you need his safety. ”

"I want the highest authority of the school. ”

"No, your current authority is already my bottom line. ”

"Then I think I'm busy this semester and don't have much spare time. ”

"Yes, Miss Holly Parker, could you please explain what you're doing during Defence Against the Dark Arts class?" Lockhart suddenly interjected, frustrated at not being able to attract the attention of all the girls at Hogwarts. The one who didn't react to him the most was this red-haired girl. Not only did she not scream in class, but she hadn't even appeared in her class since the second week, which made it a little difficult for him to accept that he was the "handsome" wizard with the most female fans in the wizarding world.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Gildlow Lockhart, but I already got my second year Defence Against the Dark Arts course last year, and I don't think Hogwarts requires all students to repeat what they've already completed, right?"

"Alright, Professor Lockhart. Miss Holly had completed most of her second-grade course and passed her exams last school year, as most of the school's teachers knew. I thought that sending you a letter would explain the problem, but it seems that I didn't do my job properly. Dumbledore played helplessly.

"Oh, I'm sorry Headmaster Dumbledore, you know, I have a lot of letters, maybe I missed it. Lockhart began to boast again.

"Miss Holly, I think since we have the same goal, we can continue to talk. ”

"I feel like the two of us still have a lot to learn, and... If Headmaster Dumbledore has any day-to-day management difficulties, he can contact the Ministry of Magic, and I think the Minister will be happy to help you in any way he can. ”

"Yes, I think it's getting late, and the two young ladies had better ......."

"Dumbledore, this isn't an accident, is it?"

"I guess it was a fortuitous event. ”

"When was the last time the Chamber of Secrets was opened?" Aelinka snapped. "Consult with you on behalf of the High Hogwarts Procurator. ”

"Fifty years ago. ”

"Fifty years ago. Erinka sighed, glancing at the reactions of the professors around her. Flitwick also rushed over after sending the Ravenclaw students back to the tower.

"Alright, Professor, let's go back to the dorm. Holly stood up and pulled Erinka out of Lockhart's office.
