Fawkes circled at the entrance to the chamber, waiting for them.

But before they could leave, they saw Hermione and Lockhart stumbling in, Lockhart looked frightened, his body was shaking, and Hermione pointed his wand at him in the back, his face was also pale.

"Miss Granger, the adventure should be over, we may have been late and failed to save your friend, I'm sorry, you know me and Mr. Mason"

Before Lockhart could finish his words, he suddenly saw the huge corpse of the basilisk, and his knees collapsed to the ground, screaming in horror, "Snake, snake, big snake!"

"Oh my God, are you all right?!"

Hermione followed and saw Aven, Harry, and Ron standing next to the basilisk corpse, and ran over with a look of surprise on her face, her eyes red and hugging everyone.

"We're fine, Hermione, but if you continue to hold me so hard, it's hard to say!" Evan felt weak, he felt that Hermione had been hugging him longer than the other two, and changed the subject a little awkwardly, "By the way, how did you get in and take Lockhart with you?"

"That's right," Hermione hurriedly let go of her hand with a flushed face.

Hearing her explanation, Evan realized that after he and Harry were taken away by the basilisk, Professor McGonagall and the other teachers rushed to the common room, they had planned to go to Dumbledore, but the headmaster was entangled by the Minister of Magic, Cornelius Furge, and Lucius Malfoy, who arrived later, and could not get out.

Hermione deduced that the entrance to the chamber was in the girls' bathroom on the third floor based on the fact that the first victim was a crying myrtle when it was opened fifty years ago, and then she decided to ask Professor Lockhart for help.

"But I didn't expect that he wouldn't dare come down with me to save you, and he even wanted to run away when he heard that the basilisk had started attacking the students inside the school!"

Hermione looked at Lockhart, who was slumped to the side, and choked up, "I forced him down with my wand, I couldn't find anyone else to help, it's too late, I'm afraid to delay it any longer, you guys"

Evan hurriedly took Hermione in his arms and touched her head, the little girl looked frightened.

"But why did he run away, I mean, how could he do that, he's a Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, and he's written so many great books?" Harry said in disbelief.

"This, this, how can I say it, when I accepted this position, it wasn't included in the work regulations that I didn't expect," Lockhart muttered vaguely as the four men turned their gazes to him, "and besides, books can be deceitful." ”

"Liar?!" Hermione looked up in surprise, "Didn't you write those books?"

"Oh, dear Miss Granger!" Lockhart shifted to the side, "think about it with your common sense, if you don't make people think that I did all these things, the book will not sell well." ”

"The reader will not be willing to read the story of an ugly old American wizard, even though he saved the people of a village from the scourge of werewolves. Put his picture on the cover, it's not hard to look dead, he doesn't have any taste in his clothes. And the witch who banished the ghost of Wanlun, she's an open-mouthed! I mean, you think about it."

"So, you're just keeping all the other people's things on your own account?" Hermione asked incredulously.

"It's not as simple as you say!"

Lockhart shook his head impatiently and moved a few more meters to the side, "I have a lot of work, I'm going to track these people and ask them how they managed to do that." Then I'm going to give them an Oblivion Charm so they can forget about it. ”

"Oblivion Spell?!" Evan was secretly vigilant, he almost forgot that this guy in front of him was a master of the Oblivion Curse.

"Yes, if there's anything I'm proud of, it's my Oblivion Curse. You know, I have to put in a lot of hard work, not just signing books and taking photos of celebrities. If you want to be famous, you have to be prepared to work hard for a long time. ”

Lockhart seemed to touch something on the floor, and he stood up breathlessly, Ron wand in his hand, his characteristic smile on his face, and his shining teeth exposed.

"All right, children, it's time for it to be over!" he said, "and I am going to bring the carcass of the great serpent back to school, and tell them that I saved you, and that you have lost your mind with so much fright that you have lost your mind!"

"Professor, you—how can you do that!"

Harry, Ron, and Hermione looked at Lockhart in surprise, originally before the other party stood up, Evan planned to knock him down with a stun charm, but when he saw that Lockhart was holding Ron's broken wand in his hand, he gave up on the idea.

He could feel Hermione shiver in his arms, and he gently patted her on the shoulder, motioning for her to relax.

Lockhart is not Tom Riddle, he can't cast spells without a wand, and he doesn't have such a strong magic control, so he rashly uses a broken wand that breaks into two knots, and the only end is

"I'm not stupid enough to let you go up and expose me!, children, say goodbye to your memories!"

Lockhart raised the soul-shattering wand above his head and shouted, "Forget it!"

Boom! The wand exploded suddenly, no less powerful than a small bomb.

Lockhart was struck by his own magic and flew out quickly, landing the floor of the chamber.

Seeing this effect, Evan knew that this Oblivion Charm was very powerful.

"Oh my God, is he okay?"

"He's been struck by his own Oblivion Curse, and he shouldn't remember who he is. Maybe that's not a bad thing for him, otherwise Professor Lockhart will go crazy when we go up and reveal his true colors. Evan whispered.

"Professor?!Who are you talking about?" Lockhart looked up at them amiably, "this place is so strange, do you live here?"

"No!" Harry shook his head.

"Alright, let's get out of here, we'll all need a good rest all night. Besides, Professor Dumbledore is still waiting for us up there, don't let him worry too much. ”

The thought of having to face Dumbledore's questioning for a while gave Evan a headache.

Who knows what the greatest white wizard of our time would think, and while he didn't mind helping Harry fight Voldemort, it didn't feel good to be manipulated by someone else.

Evan suddenly discovers that after defeating the Basilisk and Tom Riddle again, there is no shortage of troubles to solve.

First of all, he had to be careful not to guard against Dumbledore's calculations, he wouldn't be as easy as Harry, who was sold by someone else and still helped count the money, but he didn't have to worry too much about it, anyway, Dumbledore at least had some bottom line, not as careless as Voldemort.

Secondly, there is a secret treasure left by the four founders of Hogwarts.

I don't know what's inside, but listening to the conversation between the four people, you can guess that what is inside is very helpful in fighting Voldemort and saving Hogwarts. But the question is, where are those four keys hidden?

Also, now that Lockhart has lost his memory, his previous lies will be exposed, and he will definitely be ruined.

This was not good news for Hogwarts Wizardry, and Evan had to worry about finding a new selling point.

Then, when he saw Ron standing there with a lost face, Harry standing next to him not knowing what to say, Hermione wanted to go over and ask them about Tom Riddle. He hurriedly stopped Hermione and left Ron alone for a while, if there was anything to say tomorrow.

I believe that after this incident, both Ron and Hermione will learn enough lessons, that is, not to fully believe what is written in the book.
