Seriously, I didn't really like Ron when I read the novel, although he was a complete Gryffindor character, but he was too impulsive, and many times Harry was led away by Ron, and the choices he made were not his original intention.

But I also know that Ron's nature is not bad, but unfortunately it is not uncommon for good intentions to do bad things, but because I hate not to think about what this guy will become in the end, everything can only be natural.

However, the adventurous team was finally formed, and Opal successfully obtained the mascot (huh?). Oh no, amulet (huh?!) Oh no, it's teammate Harry's addition, although it's not the final version, hmm......

=============================================

Gold Coin 3 (Positive): Excellent candidate.

Hogwarts House Corridor

、

It's the worst of things to do.

Harry thought to himself in frustration.

Although he learned the corresponding information about the secret room from the crying Myrtle, and also learned the truth about the monster in the secret room from Hermione when he visited her, Harry's mood was really not relaxed at the moment.

Because the Slytherin students found the bloody message in the hallway, coupled with Pansy and Ginny who disappeared at the same time, the whole of Hogwarts is now in a panic.

Judging from what he heard hiding in the closet of the classroom office, the unreliable Professor Lockhart would be going to solve the incident at night.

Afterwards, Harry, along with Ron, and the other students were told what had happened, and the Hogwarts Express would take them home early tomorrow morning. Other teachers also make sure that no student is left outside the dormitory.

It was probably the hardest day of Harry's life.

He, Ron, Fred, and George sat in a corner of the Gryffindor common room, unable to say a word. Percy wasn't there. He sent an owl to deliver a letter to Mrs. Weasley, and locked himself in his dormitory.

For Harry, there had never been an afternoon so slow as it had been, and the Gryffindor Tower had never seemed so crowded and silent as it was now.

As the sun was about to set, Fred and George couldn't sit still any longer, and after talking to Harry and Ron, they went back to their dorm room to sleep.

"She must have known something then, Harry."

Remembering his sister Ginny's talk-free attitude in the morning, Ron spoke for the first time since learning that Ginny had been captured, "That's why she was taken - maybe the Slytherin girl too." They must have found out something about the Chamber of Secrets. It must be so, that's why—"

Ron rubbed his eyes desperately to make it look like it was being rubbed red rather than because of the liquid inside, "I mean, like that captured Slytherin, she's a pure-blood, and it wouldn't have been her turn. There can be no other reason. ”

Harry could see the blood-red sun sinking below the horizon.

He had never felt so sad as he was now, and then he thought he had to do something.

Then, he suddenly had an idea that sounded crazy, but it was also possible.

"Ron, what do you say we should do to find the Slytherin students?"

"What!"

At first, Ron thought he had misheard, but immediately exclaimed after Harry repeated it - fortunately, Harry quickly covered his mouth again, "Light, do you want to draw everyone's attention?" ”

"Are you crazy Harry! I would have thought of acting with those Slytherin snakes! We'll definitely be used as a shield by them! ”

After ripping Harry's hand off, Ron glared at him and whispered.

"But weren't some of them arrested together? One more person is always one more strength, isn't it? ”

Harry didn't agree with Ron's claim.

"Ha, you're thinking too much of those vipers, and I bet they're hiding in the cellar right now, and they'll be swarming up tomorrow when the train comes."

Ron scoffed unceremoniously, "I think we should go to Lockhart more than those poisonous snakes." Tell him what we know. Isn't he ready to enter the secret room! We can tell him that we know where the Chamber of Secrets is, and that it is a basilisk in it. ”

But the question is, is that Professor Lockhart really reliable?

Harry was deeply concerned about Lockhart's consistent performance this semester, but because Ron insisted, he didn't say anything more, but he didn't stop thinking about it. The Gryffindor students around them were all sad and sad for the Weasley brothers, so when Harry and Ron got up and walked through the room and through the portrait hole, no one tried to stop them.

And by the time they went downstairs to Lockhart's office, night had fallen.

But even from a long distance, they heard someone talking from inside the office.

Ron and Harry glanced at each other, and saw that the office door didn't seem to be closed, so they hurried to the crack in the door and looked inside—it was Lockhart, who was obviously a little disheveled, and the person standing in front of him...... It turned out to be Opal.

“…… Oh no......"

Lockhart's voice was as sharp as a cat with its tail stepped on, "Miss Snape, you're attacking the Hogwarts teacher, it's illegal. ”

[It's better than letting you, a derelict pseudo-teacher, leave and let Pansy and Gryffindor Ginny die in a secret room.] ]

He usually sounded calmer, but the cold in his voice made Harry and Ron outside the office subconsciously shudder, [It's just that you are cooperating with me to go to Gryffindor and find Harry, it is you who refuse to listen to me for anything, and you want to escape to cause this situation.] ]

Looking for me?

Harry was stunned for a moment, frowning, but he continued listening.

“…… Oh shit! Gryffindor is already in trouble, and you don't like those unrealistic people who pin their so-called hopes on that 'savior'! ”

Lockhart's voice sounded incredible.

['Savior' is just a title, does that have anything to do with me?] ]

He was answered by Opal's unusually flat reply, [Opening the Chamber of Secrets requires crawling, and now the only person in all of Hogwarts who clearly shows that he can crawl speaks is Harry.] As a Slytherin, it's impossible for me to enter the Gryffindor Tower, otherwise do you think I'm looking for you, a teacher who is nothing but memory magic, and not even a peacock? ]

Something unexpected sarcasm poured out of Opal's mouth, and Harry felt relieved and relieved - no matter how gentle he was, Opal was still a Slytherin student, but ......

Need to crawl to open the secret room?

So Opal had already confirmed the status of the chamber before them?

This discouraged Harry for a moment, but he was soon drawn to the message of Opal's words - after all, Lockhart was a Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, but why would Opal say that he was good for nothing but memory magic?

"How do you know...... Wrong! Don't talk nonsense. ”

And Lockhart's reaction was now not so much like a cat with its tail stepped on, but rather a mouse shivering in a corner, "Those things...... Those things ......."

[Why do you think Slytherin students never listen in your class?] ]

Opal's voice remained unhurried, steady, [Fanny Ovit Hogg, an open-mouthed English witch who once drove away the ghost of Wanlun.] Zoff Panlun, an American wizard who was disfigured for keeping out werewolf attacks...... Do you need me to say more? These things, for Slytherin students, will not be troublesome to investigate at all. If it weren't for the fact that you've been a good joker this semester and provided us with plenty of free time, you would have been ruined by the time you ruined our first Defence Against the Dark Arts class. ]

“…… You! ”

Lockhart's voice jerked up an octave, but soon weakened, his voice more self-exculpating than justifying, "That...... We are always responsible for the sales of the book, and if we don't make people think that I did all the things, the book will not sell well...... And I have to put in a lot of hard work...... You know, it's not just book autographs and celebrity photos. If you want to be famous, you have to be prepared to work hard for a long time......"

His voice grew lower, and just as Harry craned his ears to hear clearly, a sudden voice came from inside the room, "Obliviate!" ”

Worst!

Without thinking about it, Harry immediately pushed open the door and rushed in, but what caught his sight was a dazzling white light, accompanied by Lockhart's "Oh! No ......", followed by the sound of something colliding and falling to the ground.

[Who?!] ]

Then, Harry felt something press against his neck, and the cold sensation stimulated his scalp for a while, and he quickly stayed there: "Opal, it's me...... Are you okay? ”

[Harry?] ]

The light dissipated, and the cold object attached to Harry's neck disappeared at the same time. Harry immediately turned around and saw Opal looking at him three paces behind him with his lips pursed.

Not far away, Lockhart was lying upside down in a few large pieces of clothing, his green and blue robes being flipped open and scattered around, as if he would not wake up for a while.

He ...... What's wrong? ”

Although Harry knew that Opal was powerful, he didn't think that Opal could beat a grown man, even if Lockhart was a parallel trade, as he had heard at the beginning.

[He tried to cast an Oblivion Spell on me, but ......]

At this point, Opal's expression was very subtle, [He took a step back as he cast the spell, only to step on the pen on the ground and slip, interrupting the spell and causing him to be devoured.] The power of the magic explosion directly overturned him into the box, and it seemed that he would not wake up in a short time. ]

Is that really the case...... You have to know that Opal's skills just now were quietly standing directly behind him just now?

glanced at Lockhart, who was unconscious at the moment, and subconsciously touched Harry, who was on his neck, and swallowed his doubts back very wisely: "So Opal, what should I do next?" Do you want to go to the secret room together? ”

At this time, Opal's eyes moved to the door: [I don't have any problems, in fact, my friend is waiting for me at the entrance to the secret room.] I just don't know what you guys say here. ]

"Of course we want to go together! My sister is still inside! ”

Ron, who was still hesitating at the door, rushed in almost immediately, his face as red as his hair, "As long as it's to save my sister, even if it's to act with you Slytherins, I'll admit it." ”

[Okay......]

After glancing at Ron, Opal shook his head as if he had given up something, [I hope you don't fight then.] ]

"One more person is always one more strength."

Harry, who guessed what Opal was worried about, touched his nose in embarrassment.

After all, his brother knew that every time he met Opal, it was Ron's side who provoked them first.

"What do you mean!"

Ron was not convinced, "I know we already know what is inside the secret room......"

[Don't tell me you're going to face the basilisk without doing anything.] ]

As a result, Opal unceremoniously cut off Ron's words - this reminded Harry of the unicorn he had met that night, and the two "Opals" really had something in common in terms of being able to take the faux pass for granted without being offensive.

“…… You know?! ”

It was Ron's turn to be surprised, he looked at Opal like a monster, and then frowned as if he had reacted, and roared, "You Slytherins really know everything!" In that case, why not say it sooner! (Harry hurriedly pulls him along, but Ron unceremoniously shakes his hand away.) Look, we're scared there, it's a pleasure to watch the play, isn't it! ”

[Even if we knew, so what?] ]

As if sensing Ron's reaction as amused, Opal stood there with one hand on his chest, [To put it mildly, in fact in response to your unkind attitude towards us Slytherins, why should we tell you what we have?] If it weren't for the need to crawl to open the secret room this time, you think I'd be willing to come over to you Griffins who can only act recklessly! ]

"What! You bastard! ”

Ron was almost on the spot and rushed over.

"Opal ......"

Harry could only pull Ron to keep him from rushing immediately, and smiled wryly at Opal, "I'm sorry, Ron was just in too much of a hurry. Ron, don't you say a word......"

Because the war was started by Ron first, and Harry knew that Ron's prejudice against Slytherin was not a matter of a day or two, but what he didn't expect was that Ron would make things so stiff that even the always good-natured Opal would be stimulated and start to get thorns in his words - and it can be said that it was all Ron's own doing.

[Harry, I think the next collaboration will be difficult.] ]

After closing his eyes slightly, Opal tilted his head in helplessness, [After all, my friends are Slytherins, and Huffpuff's friends don't want to bother.] Based on your friend's current state, I suspect that it will turn into infighting halfway through. ]

Harry's expression froze.

In fact, he wasn't without the idea of leaving Ron alone, but...... Ron was his friend after all, having always been by his side, and Ron was only worried about his own sister......

[Okay.] ]

As if sensing Harry's hesitation, Opal smiled and winked at him, "Then I'll be the bad guy!" ]

"What?!"

Before Harry could react, a flash of light lit up from the wand that had appeared in Opal's hand at some unknown moment, and then hit Ron with a look of resentment.

In the next second, Ron closed his eyes and fell on Harry's body, which made Harry shake his hands and feet: "Ron?!" Hey Ron, what's wrong with you? ”

[I just silently cast a spell to pass out and let him sleep for a while.] ]

Although he has always been friendly, should he say that Opal is really a Slytherin?

Harry was silent about this, but he did breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, and silently put his friend on the chair in the office and turned to look at Opal, "So, let's go?" ”

[Well, no problem.] ]

Nodding his head, Opal seemed to think of something, and with another wave of his wand, a rope flew out of Lockhart's scattered suitcase, [To be on the safe side, let's tie Lockhart first.] It wouldn't be good if it affected our actions. ]

“……”

Harry couldn't think of anything better than nodding his head.

And if Harry had to do what he had to say, Harry felt that he would really choose to act with Opal, who had figured everything out before him, to his impulsive friend.

Though...... Well, although he has reservations about what Opal says about team-mates. No matter what you said at the time, it was better than Ron joining in, and then the Gryffindor and Slytherin students got into a fight halfway through......
