After Lockhart opened his office, Dumbledore took Lady Loris in first. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Filch squeezed through everyone and followed closely. He also grabbed Harry by the collar and forced him in.

In Lockhart's dimly lit office, there was a commotion of the photographs on the walls.

Many of the photos depict Lockhart hiding in a panic, the curling iron on his head apparently revealing their secrets.

The real Lockhart lit the candle on the table.

Dumbledore placed Lady Loris on the polished table and began to examine it carefully.

The people around them glanced at each other, no one made a sound, but the trio of Vio and Harry invariably stepped back to the candlelight and stood together.

The tip of Dumbledore's long, hooked nose almost touched the fur on Lady Loris.

He studied it carefully from behind the half-moon-shaped glasses, his slender fingers poking lightly at Lady Loris's body.

Professor McGonagall leaned down as well, her face almost touching the cat.

Vio was sure that they might not have known about the amplification spell that made vision a hundred times clearer, but she didn't have any expression.

Professor Snape stood behind them, half of his body hidden in the shadows, looking even more serious and terrifying.

He glanced at Vio briefly, as if to question her, but eventually continued to observe Lady Loris.

Lockhart adheres to his own characteristics and dutifully comes up with ideas that don't help to gain a sense of existence.

"There must have been a spell that killed its stiff body, it was horrible to death, it looked like it had been abused, it was definitely a vicious transfiguration curse.

"I've seen people use this spell many times, and I'm sorry I wasn't there, I happened to know the spell and could have saved it."

When Filch heard this, he immediately covered his face and wept bitterly, and he collapsed on a chair beside the table, making people feel sympathy.

Lockhart was busy counting how many murders he had prevented in his previous adventures, when Dumbledore straightened up.

"It's not dead, Filch. His voice was soft, but the words were still like boulders thrown into the water.

Lockhart froze and looked at him stunned, and Filch sobbed and looked at Mrs. Loris through his fingers, "Then why is it so stiff that it looks like it's frozen?"

"It's petrified. Dumbledore said, "But why this is happening, I don't know. ”

"Ask him!" Filch screamed, as if he had regained some strength as he struggled to his feet, pulling Harry out of Vio, Ron, and Hermione and into the candlelight.

"There's no way a sophomore can do that. Dumbledore said sensibly and resolutely, "It takes the deepest dark magic if, it's really hurt by a kind of dark magic"

"It's him! it's him! I locked him up!" Filch cried uncontrollably, spat all around, his face flushing purple.

"You saw his writing on the wall! He found out in my office and he knew I was a Squib!"

After uttering the last word, he shrunk like a ball of air that had only lost all his breath and threw himself at Lady Loris.

"I didn't even run into Lady Loris!" Harry said loudly, plucking up the courage to defend himself for the first time. But it is clear that it will not be the last.

"I don't know what a Squib is! I didn't tell anyone about that letter!"

"Hah!" Filch's eyes lit up as he pointed at Harry and yelled, "Liar, you peeked at my quick incantation letter, you swore to me you hadn't"

"Allow me to say a word, Headmaster. Snape said in the shadows.

Vio wanted to go back and look at her journal, and when she saw Pansy's smile, she felt that the defensive spell she had put on the drawer lock didn't work at all.

But right now she can't get out.

She heard the professor say in a deliberate way, "Perhaps, Potter and his friends were just there at the wrong time, but why did they go up there?" If I'm not mistaken, the Halloween feast was held in the Great Hall of the Great Hall. ”

Harry, Ron, and Hermione scrambled to explain that they had gone to the death party. It was even offered to let those ghosts prove that they were there

"But after this, why don't you come to the banquet?" asked the professor, his dark eyes glistening in the candlelight, as if enjoying his role as detective sheriff.

Ron and Hermione both looked at Harry, and Vio could tell that they were confused by the snake language Harry had heard.

"Because because," Harry stammered, looking like he was out of words. How could he tell people that he had been lured all the way here by a disembodied voice that only he could hear, and so on, could Vio hear it?

Harry looked at Vio wistfully, but Vio didn't look at him, and Vio was leaning into Hermione's ear to say something.

Harry waited for a few seconds until the faces of the two men were solemn, and neither of them looked at him, and he couldn't say any more.

It seems that he is destined to be considered guilty.

"No, it's not him. A voice sounded so softly that it immediately caught everyone's attention.

Ginny stepped out from behind Ron, and it was only then that Dumbledore and McGonagall noticed her.

Dumbledore's eyebrows furrowed imperceptibly for a second.

Ginny Weasley stood beside Harry, probably due to the fact that she had been alone in the cold aisle for a while, and she always shuddered involuntarily when she spoke, but she tried to speak as calmly and fully as she could.

"I didn't see them until soon after I woke up, but by that time Lady Loris had already hung on the wall. Ginny deliberately avoided saying how she got here, and avoided mentioning that she had something to do with Lady Loris's petrification.

Vio guessed she might not have understood this herself, but Filch was the first to disbelieve her claims.

"Did you mean you got here by yourself in your dream?Ginny Weasley?" Pansy said disgruntled in the crowd, "You think the professors are fools? I can smell the blood on you through so many people."

When the students heard this, they immediately retreated in a commotion, and Lockhart's office was soon vacated, and everyone would rather wait outside the door to hear the synopsis of the story than take a step closer to Ginny.

In the midst of the uproar, Vio tries to keep himself from paying attention to Pansy, who validates an experiment she has done in response to Ginny's words.

Ginny looked slightly sideways at the students behind her, and at the empty side, shivering even more, and biting her lip white.

Professor McGonagall stopped Pansy majestically, glaring at the group of students who were scared and didn't want to lose the chance to watch the excitement, and was about to tell them all to go back, when Hermione walked up to Ginny.

"We have something to say, and it's important, Professor. Peeves threw Helena at us at the death party, and she was stiff and her symptoms looked very similar to those of Lady Loris!"

"Ahh

In the panic, one or two people reacted and asked the person next to them suspiciously: "Didn't you say that only the four of them went to the death party?
