Chapter Forty-Eight: Let's Do Something!

"Fifty years ago?" Lilith recalled, "It's true that the Forbidden Forest only had eight-eyed giant spiders in that period, and there were no such creatures in the Forbidden Forest before. ”

Zhang Hao only remembered at this time that Lilith was also an overlord in the Forbidden Forest. The eight-eyed giant spider is an invasive species compared to other animals, but in front of her, it is the younger brother of the younger brother!

Obviously, she must have used some abnormal means in order to get some information from Aragog.

After all, that guy in Aragog is not easy to talk to, and in the original books, he almost made his children and grandchildren eat Harry!

Thinking of this, Zhang Hao felt warm in his heart.

Lilith was obviously a little concerned about him, otherwise she wouldn't have been idle to deal with ugly spiders.

Zhang Hao didn't say thank you, and verbal politeness had no substantive effect among smart people.

"I should go back and come back to see you in two days. He breathed in the delicate aroma and reluctantly parted with Lilith.

......

The school is getting duller and duller, and the students know that they have lost their principal.

Everyone was terrified and scared that at some point the school would close as well.

"Why haven't you caught the heir yet? Obviously, it's obvious who the heir is!"

"yes, why won't he come forward, as long as he is willing to come forward, the school won't be closed. ”

"He hurt even his friends, and it's normal not to come forward. We shouldn't put our hopes in him, we should let the professors arrest him. ”

The students gathered together in twos and threes to discuss, and it was obvious who he was in their mouths, referring to Zhang Hao.

The way they looked at Zhang Hao was wrong, it was a complex look that contained emotions such as fear, curiosity, and disgust.

Some people point fingers unscrupulously, as if they really think about the whole school.

But Zhang Hao knows that they are not!

They are only thinking about themselves, they are just afraid that they will lose the opportunity to learn magic.

People are selfish, they don't think about what is true or not at this critical moment, and if launching a person to take the blame can avoid the school being closed, they will definitely not hesitate.

Just like Tom Riddle at the beginning, he can launch a Hagrid, and they can launch a Zhang Hao.

Zhang Hao understands their thoughts very well, but he will not accommodate them.

At dinner, except for a few more sensible students, most of the people were talking.

"Aha!" George joked, "Hao! it looks like you're not going to have a good time! Look at their eyes, it's as if they're going to eat you." ”

Fred patted Zhang Hao on the shoulder and said, "If you are petrified like our poor brother, they will not suspect you." Isn't that ironic?"

It is incomprehensible that the two brothers are still optimistic in this situation.

If someone else's brother is petrified, he may not know how to wash his face with tears!

Just like Zhang Qiu, Zhang Hao is just suspicious, and she is very depressed.

"Cousin, aren't you going to do something?" she said worriedly, "Do you think they're going to tie you up as an heir to the professors?"

She said and glanced at the professors, as if afraid they were coming this way.

Zhang Hao also felt that he should do something, at least not to get used to some cowards.

He stood up and scanned the room.

"If there is a way to stop the school from being closed now, are you willing to do it?" he exclaimed, "even if it's just for you to wave the flag, are you willing to do it?"

Everyone was holding knives and forks, and some were still chewing in their mouths.

But by this time, everyone stopped.

Even the professors were no exception, and everyone looked at Zhang Hao quietly.

"Are you willing to do something for the school? He asked flatly, "Tell me, would you like to?"

"The basilisk is terrible, it is reckless in harming students at Hogwarts. Professors are afraid of someone getting hurt and are reluctant to confront it. If I say you can kill it, are you willing to sacrifice for the school?"

Zhang Hao's voice gradually became stern, his gaze swept at everyone, no one wanted to look at him, and everyone he was watching lowered their heads.

"Mr. Zhang Hao!" Professor McGonagall said in a warning tone, "You can't pull them into danger, the basilisk matter should be resolved slowly." ”

A sneer tugged at Snape's lips, and Lockhart looked a little gloating.

The other professors were at a loss, they had always been unassertive.

"Solve it slowly?" Zhang Hao smiled and asked, "Does Hogwarts still have time? Who is that black notebook? Will he kill the rooster again? Will the basilisk make trouble again? Now it's just Hagrid arrested and the headmaster dismissed, but if the basilisk messes up again, can Hogwarts still be opened?"

Professor McGonagall was silent, she was now gone.

In the past, Dumbledore was in charge of this kind of big thing, but now that Dumbledore has been dismissed from his position, he wasn't going to be radical!

Perhaps as a qualified Gryffindor, Dumbledore would love to take the professors to fight the basilisk, but he was not just a Gryffindor, he was also the headmaster of Hogwarts.

As a principal, take the professor and fight the basilisk desperately?

He can't do that!

"Then what are you going to do?" Professor McGonagall stared at Zhang Hao and said weakly, "If there is any plan, maybe you can say it, if it's just a reckless adventure, dispel the idea!"

Zhang Hao smiled: "Professor, I think you are too afraid of the basilisk. It's not really that powerful, we can deal with it. As long as it is destroyed, the danger of the Chamber of Secrets will cease to exist. But before I say what I planned, I wanted to see the courage of the Hogwarts students. If they still only chew their tongues behind their backs, then I would have decided that there was no need to save Hogwarts. ”

Professor McGonagall was silent, and she was not in a position to express her opinion on such out-of-the-ordinary questions.

Zhang Hao saw through Professor McGonagall's thoughts, he looked around at the students in the auditorium again, and asked calmly, "Is anyone willing to contribute to Hogwarts?" If you do, please raise your hand, I will lead you to defeat the strong enemy." ”

The students looked at each other, and no one raised their hands.

"Even if it's just waving the flag, don't you want to?" Zhang Hao said disappointedly: "What about Gryffindor? Aren't you the most courageous? Ravenclaw? You don't plan to contribute your wisdom? Hufflepuff? Are you willing to watch your classmates fight alone? And Slytherin? Glory is in front of you, don't you dare to fight for it?"

The horror of the basilisk is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, even if Zhang Hao's words are so sharp, no one can make up their minds to fight against it.

No!

It's not that there is no one, someone has raised their hand!

It's Luna, the crazy girl who was ostracized!

"I'd be happy to help you," she asked quietly, "but can you tell me if you really need my help, and what can I do for you?"

People looked at her in amazement, like a madman!

No, in the eyes of many people, she was originally a madman.

"You can help me sprinkle a handful of pepper on the basilisk's meat," Zhang Hao said humorously, "It's so big, I can't do it alone!"

A lot of people want to laugh, but they can't.

They felt ashamed, a little girl dared to take a stand, but they didn't even have the courage to raise their hands.

"Add us!" Fred and George said, still jokingly, raising their hands, "Listen to your mind and organize a basilisk barbecue?"

"Okay!" Zhang Hao put on an arrogant posture and said in a charity tone: "Seeing that you are very sincere, then even if you are one of you!

The atmosphere seemed to be a little lighter, and some people laughed out loud.

Zhang Qiu also raised her hand, and she said cautiously: "You said that you want someone to wave the flag and shout, I will do this." ”

Then there was Penelope Crivat, the beautiful big sister who also said: "As a member of the LOL club, I am willing to listen to you. Dear Mr. President!"

There are more and more people raising their hands, and everyone has a herd mentality, as long as someone takes the lead, there is no team that cannot be pulled up.

Soon, everyone raised their hands.

Zhang Hao looked at the professor's chair, where no one had raised their hand.

Professor McGonagall looked excited, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Count me in!" she slowly raised her hand and smiled with tears in her eyes, "This time I am also a member of the students, and I will protect Hogwarts with you." ”

Professor Flitwick, Professor Snape, each professor......

Everyone raised their hands, and Hogwarts was more united than ever at this moment.

Except - Lockhart!

Professor McGonagall looked at him sternly and said coldly, "Gidero, hand over that notebook." ”

Except for Zhang Hao, no one understood what she was talking about.

Zhang Hao finally knew who stole the black notebook, and only the professors knew the password of the principal's office, although he didn't know Lockhart's motives, but he did have the conditions to steal from the principal's office.

Everyone's faces are at a loss, why are they talking and pulling it to the notebook again?

"What are you talking about, Professor McGonagall?" Lockhart said unnaturally, "I don't know what notes, can you make it clear?"

Does a professor have a notebook? He didn't even say that it was a notebook, and he began to deny it?

Sure enough, there was a problem!

Zhang Hao stared at Luo Ha and decided to give him a hard time.

"Take it out!" Professor McGonagall's tone grew colder as she warned, "that thing doesn't belong to you, it matters. ”

"I really don't know what a notebook is, and I think there must be some misunderstanding in this. Lockhart said with a haha: "I suddenly remembered that there are still some letters to return to the fans, so I won't play with you!"

"Kloptas!"

Zhang Hao made a lightning move, and in an instant, he tied Lockhart in place.

Everyone from the students to the professors was amazed.

This is the second time Zhang Hao has blatantly shot at Lockhart!

And it's a sneak attack!

"Professor, I think it's okay to use a truth potion on him. Zhang Hao said solemnly: "The black notebook is very important, and there must be some conspiracy if he refuses to hand it over." ”

He winked at Professor McGonagall, who suddenly realized and said, "Severus, you still have a truth potion there, right?"

Snape looked at Zhang Hao, then at Professor McGonagall, nodded with a straight face, "Yes, there is still a little, if needed, I will go and get it!"
