189. The Man of the Blame
"Of course, of course I do." Lockhart's face was relaxed, but Madam Pomfrey was clearly not convinced, and just looked at him with wary eyes.
"Bobby, let Professor Lockhart take a look." At this time, Dumbledore came to the school hospital and said that Madam Pomfrey had left Luna's side.
"Ha, let me see her mental state now." Lockhart walked over to the bedside and pulled out his wand.
"Born of God!"
He whispered a spell that McGoth hadn't heard before.
As Lockhart's spell fell, Luna emitted a pale blue glow with a faint black light in between.
"That's not good." Lockhart's expression grew solemn, and he explained as he looked at the other puzzled looks.
"The spell just now is to observe the mental state of the wizard, normal wizards will emit a bright blue light, but this lady is light blue, indicating that her spirit has been hit hard recently, this is nothing, it can be cured with a spiritual recovery spell and some special potions." He paused.
"And these plausible black rays that you see are the most troublesome, because it is impossible for a person's spirit to have two colors."
"And what do you mean by the two colors that Lady Lovegood is appearing in now?" McGonagall asked.
Lockhart looked at Dumbledore, "If I'm not mistaken, her spirit overlaps with something, or is part of it." ”
"What about her?"
"It's not life-threatening, it's just that when she wakes up, she'll be in a clear trance, her memory is incomplete, and it's hard to gather her spirits and use spells." Lockhart looked at the lying girl and said with some pity.
"Isn't she the same as a Squib?" Ron's face was full of pity.
"Can't you get rid of that black glow?" Hermione asked.
"The spirit of a wizard is different from other things, it is difficult for you to add anything to the spirit, but once you do, it is more difficult to remove, I can't do it."
"Then there's no way around it?"
"I don't know." Lockhart shook his head.
"There is a way." That's when Dumbledore spoke.
"What's the solution?" Lockhart asked with interest on his face. Dumbledore didn't answer him immediately, and said in a flashback way,
"I saw this when I was a young man traveling in Africa, and I remember vividly that it was a pharaoh who had been dead for an unknown amount of time, and who somehow kept a wisp of his mind in a magic bracelet. When I entered the pharaoh's pyramid with a wizarding expedition team, and accidentally discovered and released the pharaoh, he inexplicably parasitized the spirit of our teammates, and the symptoms were similar to what you said. At first, we just thought that we had caught some ancient toxin, until he tried to sneak up on us, and finally after confirming that it was because of the magic bracelet, so we teamed up to destroy the bracelet and found the pharaoh who manifested his mind, and he was able to recover until we destroyed the pharaoh who manifested his mind. ”
"So there's a pharaoh-like thought that enters Luna's spirit?" Harry asked, surprised.
"Chances are, we didn't find any enemies in the chamber, and they couldn't have walked into the chamber on their own, so it's very likely that the enemies ran away ahead of time or weren't in it." McGoth heard a different flavor from Dumbledore's flat tone, he felt that what Dumbledore suspected was the Horcrux diary, but what made him wonder was that the basilisk was not in the secret room, where did it go, that guy was the real murderer who caused the disappearance of the students, and if it was not caught, then Hogwarts would not be at peace for a day.
"Headmaster Dumbledore." Hermione began, "Do you remember the giant snakeskin we saw in the pipes?" ”
Dumbledore nodded, "It's not in Hogwarts right now. Minerva, you go and call Flitwick, Snape, and Professors Pomona to the Headmaster's office. ”
"Yes, Headmaster Dumbledore." Professor McGonagall apparently knew what Dumbledore meant, and hurried out of the hospital hospital.
"Mr. Will, you and I will come on a trip."
"Okay, Headmaster." McGoth nodded to Hermione and followed Dumbledore away.
McGoth thought that Dumbledore would also let him take the journal to his office, but he didn't expect to accompany him all the way to the door of the common room. On second thought, he also understood that Dumbledore didn't want to make any more troubles, and if the diary was run away, it wouldn't be so easy to find it again.
Entering the lounge, saying hello to Neville and the others, he walked quickly to the place where he had put his diary yesterday, and there were no incidents, the diary was quietly sandwiched between several books. Also, it only became a 'friend' with McGoth yesterday, and it didn't say anything that might be exposed, and it also slightly alienated his trust in Dumbledore, so he didn't feel betrayed at all, so there was no reason to run away at all.
McGoth didn't know what his expression would look on when he handed it over, or if Dumbledore would give it a chance to speak, if he would tell Dumbledore that he hadn't told him anything, that he knew everything about the Chamber of Secrets. He also thought about whether to use it a year ago at the Leaky Cauldron Bar Van Lunding. The basilisk fangs that Lance gave him killed the diary. But in the end, he chose to do nothing, and instead of making Dumbledore suspect that he had destroyed the corpse, it was better to gamble, would Dumbledore still believe Voldemort's words? He really didn't believe it, he wasn't as trustworthy as Voldemort in Dumbledore's eyes, and he had to memorize the diary anyway.
However, before picking up the diary, he added a brain glency and armor to himself to be on the safe side. It's not wrong to be careful with LYB when you were a kid.
Just as he walked out of the dormitory, he suddenly remembered that he hadn't read the question he had written about the diary last time, and after thinking about it, the diary hadn't broken his ability to occlusion in an instant anyway, and it was nothing to see how it was written. Thinking of this, he casually opened it.
"If you want to break the rules, you have to be the one who makes the rules."
The corners of McGoss's mouth jumped when he looked at this line of words, isn't this not good, why is it so lofty, but after thinking about it, it seems that he understands the meaning of what it means.
'Nima, this is trying to lead me down his own path, and it's the opposite path, and if you really believe it, I'll die a terrible death.' Shaking his head, looking at the disappeared line of words, he closed the diary, at this time he somewhat understood why the wizards in the wizarding world were so afraid of him, in addition to the powerful magic, but also because no matter what he did, he was playing tricks on you from beginning to end, and the final benefit would definitely be him, and it would only be him.
