178. The discovery of twins

The last school legend is that of a terrifying monster from Slytherin, according to Malfoy, that before the Slytherin family founded the castle, a powerful wizard lived here and kept an invisible monster similar to Yeqi, whose favorite food was half-blood wizards and Muggle wizards. Compared to the first two well-founded rumors, this one seems to McGoth to be a lot of, and people know that it was made up by Slytherin to intimidate half-bloods and Muggle wizards, and the only reason he remembered it was that apart from the different names and the provenance of the monsters, the other content was quite similar to the basilisk.

The next day, McGoth wanted to go to the library with Hermione to find out if there was a Slytherin heir, but before he could talk to Hermione, he was pulled away by the twins.

"You can't imagine what we've found." Fred couldn't hide his excitement.

"We put a telescopic ear in Lockhart's office." George added on the side.

"Oh? So what did you hear about him? McGoth had little interest in Lockhart, but had to ask so as not to disappoint his two friends.

The twins led him to a corner where no one was around.

"We found out that he liked to talk to himself alone in the office, and at one point he actually said that the stories in his books belonged to other people."

"Someone else's?" McGoss's heart moved, Lockhart's secret was discovered by the twins so quickly?

"We don't understand either, maybe he copied someone else's work, and we thought there were other people in the office,"

"Later, we snuck in a recording eyeball while he was away from the office."

"Eyeballs?"

"Our new invention, inspired by your video recorder, can record what happened in a period of time." George said proudly.

"It's a pity that the service life is relatively short, and the props are useless after seeing it once, otherwise you can also take a look, and next time we should use a magic camera to take a picture." Fred finally had a new idea.

"Good idea." George happily high-fived Fred.

Magos looked dumbfounded, the brains of these two brothers have simply broken through the sky, the next invention will not be the voyeur live broadcast of the wizarding world, are they a little crooked in the skill tree? This shouldn't be his pot, right? Probably...

"Well, isn't it a bit bad for you to do this?" McGoth couldn't say that it was immoral, so he expressed his opinion tactfully.

The twins say they just wanted to know how Lockhart created those wonderful stories, but they discovered the secrets, in order to see how Lockhart got the other people's stories, and then they went to debunk him.

"This morning we took out the eyeballs after he left, and guess what we saw."

"No one in the office? Has he been talking to himself? ”

George, who was told by McGoss, looked at him with some disappointment, "That's right, we see what he's been writing in the book, and talking while writing, it feels like he's talking to that book, it's a really strange hobby." ”

"Personally." McGoth replied casually, and then he froze.

"You say he's talking to books?" He asked hurriedly.

"yes, I said you'd be interested." Fred was pleased with McGoss's expression.

"Well, can you describe the book he was talking about?"

"It feels a bit old, and I can't read it very clearly when there are books blocking it."

"And he didn't turn the page, he just wrote and stopped on it."

McGoth's heart was beating fast, and there was a feeling that it was a village in the dark, and Lockhart was probably Tom in his hands. Riddle's diary, unexpectedly, did not find the Slytherin heir, but unexpectedly learned the clues of the diary.

On the way back, the twins Mygoth thought about how to steal the notebook from Lockhart, at first he wanted to borrow the invisibility cloak from Harry to steal it while he was not in the office, and then thought that Lockhart probably knew the magic of the notebook, and it was unlikely that he would leave it alone, and it was very likely that he would carry it with him. This made him a little irritated, Lockhart was a professor anyway, and it was almost impossible for him to take the notebook from him without knowing it, and that notebook was not an item that you could steal at your fingertips.

McGoth, who thought about it for a long time and didn't think of any good way, simply didn't think about it first, and there was a Defence Against the Dark Arts class in the afternoon, and when the time came, he was carefully observed in the classroom.

With a hint of trepidation, they walked into the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom with Hermione, and to his surprise, in addition to the Gryffindors and Hufflepuffs they were going to teach, the second-year students from Slytherin and Ravenclaw were there.

"Draco, why are you here, if memory serves, you should be in Potions class by now." Magos asked strangely as he walked up to Malfoy.

"Professor Snape told us to come here." Malfoy shook his head, unaware.

It didn't take long for the students to arrive, and they didn't know why they had asked to come here.

At this moment, Snape strode in, glanced around coldly, and the classroom that had just been bustling was instantly silent. He didn't speak, just stood quietly on the podium. The students didn't dare to ask him what they were all doing here, and McGoth felt that every second in this atmosphere was torment, which reminded him of the fierce head teacher in his previous life.

Fortunately, they didn't stay up long, with the sound of a slamming door open. Gilderoy in a fuchsia robe. Professor Lockhart walked in. As he walked towards the podium, he happily said to the students around him,

"You should be honored, boys, your favorite Professor Lockhart sensed the uneasy atmosphere in the school right now, and specifically asked Headmaster Dumbledore to let me change this Defence Against the Dark Arts lesson into a Spell Showdown." As he spoke, he pointed to Snape,

"This is my assistant for this lesson, Professor Snape, everyone is welcome." After speaking, he was the first to applaud.

The students looked at each other excitedly, and then quickly clapped their hands vigorously.

Lockhart was pleased with the loud applause, "If you like it, I will ask Headmaster Dumbledore to form a dueling club, and then it will be not just you second-year students, but the entire Hogwarts students." ”

"Bang bang." The applause was even louder.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now please all stand on both sides, and let me set the stage for a duel with Professor Snape first."

Once the students had parted ways, he smiled at Snape, the two professors took out their wands and lined up the tables, and Lockhart magically changed the color of the black tables to red.
