Chapter 18: The Wounded Harry
"Mentor, can I take a leave of absence today?" Hermione, who was wearing glasses, asked with some embarrassment.
"What's wrong? Did something happen? Bernard, who was in a good mood, asked gently.
"That's the kind of mentor, there was a Bludger chasing Harry during the Quidditch match today, and then Harry ......" Hermione angrily told Lockhart about losing Harry's bones.
"Lockhart? Ha ha. Bernard laughed twice before saying to Hermione, "Lockhart is a good wizard, it's a pity that his talent is not in this area, let's go, I'll go see Harry with you, it's a pity that I'm afraid of heights and never go to see Quidditch, otherwise it wouldn't be like this." Bernard's mood seemed to have changed because of this, and he happily walked towards Harry with Hermione.
After saying a few words to Harry, Bernard left, knowing the rest of the story, but he really didn't have the heart to be a babysitter for the savior.
……
Harry in his sleep seemed to sense that someone was watching him, and the sensitive Harry looked at the school infirmary in the darkness with wide eyes, and there was no one? Harry was about to take off his glasses when a voice rang out.
"Hello, Harry Potter!" A familiar voice rang out.
"Dobby!?"
"It's me, oh, Harry Potter remembers poor Dobby!" Harry had always felt Dobby nervous, and even more so now.
"Dobby! Stop, how did you end up here? I mean, how did you end up at Hogwarts! Harry asked, confused.
"Oh, Hogwarts magic can't stop Dobby, Dobby is a house-elf, you know?" Dobby stared at Harry as he stared at his watery light bulb.
"I know you're a house elf, but what does that have to do with you being here?" Harry asked, puzzled.
"Oh, the great Harry Potter doesn't understand, Bad Dobby! Bad Dobby! Dobby was starting to get nervous again, which was a headache for Harry.
"Dobby, what are you doing here?" Harry had to change the subject, and Harry was indeed curious as to why Dobby was here.
"Dobby is here to save Harry Potter, why doesn't Harry Potter listen to Dobby! Why didn't Harry Potter go home when he couldn't get on the train? Why go back to Hogwarts! Dobby's tone was full of resentment.
"How do you know I'm not on the train!? It's the entrance to the platform that you've sealed! Right?! You almost got me fired! Harry was keenly aware of the holes in Dobby's words.
"Oh, of course! Of course, it was Dobby's sealed entrance, and Harry Potter was supposed to go home then. Hogwarts is no longer safe, and Harry Potter shouldn't be back. Dobby still looked at Harry with a grudge on his face.
"Not safe? You know what the attack was all about, how it could be unsafe, there was Dumbledore here, and so many professors, not to mention, there were my friends here. Harry began to inquire about the attack.
However, Dobby did not answer Harry's words, and continued: "Dobby thought his Bludger would change Harry Potter's mind......"
"Your Bludger?! You made Bludger chase me!? Harry shouted.
"Dobby is really sad, Dobby also punished himself!" As he spoke, Dobby raised his bandaged hand.
"You'd better make things clear before my bones grow, attack! Insecurity! What the hell is going on? Harry continued, but in a somewhat unkind tone.
"Dobby is not afraid of threats, Dobby listens to more threats, Harry Potter can't stay here anymore, history is about to repeat itself, oh no!" Dobby covered his mouth and shook his head desperately, and Harry was about to ask again, when suddenly there was a sound of footsteps.
Dobby vanished with a thud, and Harry hurried to the bed.
"Put him here." Madam Pomfrey's voice was heard. "What's going on?"
"There was another attack, and if it weren't for Dumbledore's rise to coffee, he wouldn't have been able to spot him, and when Dumbledore saw him, he still had a bunch of grapes beside him, and it seemed like he had come to see Harry. Poor child. Professor McGonagall's voice was filled with sadness.
And Harry, who was eavesdropping on the other side, his heart also raised, who could it be to "come and see yourself"? Hermione or Ron.
"Is it petrification?" Madam Pomfrey continued.
"I think so!" Dumbledore's voice came too, but this time it wasn't so gentle, "Luckily, Creevey should have taken a picture of the murderer." ”
On the other side, Harry's heart was a little uncomfortable, "Colin is here to see himself", which made Harry difficult to accept, but fortunately it was just petrified, if something happened to Colin, Harry would feel guilty for the rest of his life.
There was a "stab" and Harry's ears pricked up again.
"What's the matter, Albus!" Professor McGonagall's worried words sounded.
"This means that the Chamber of Secrets is really open." Dumbledore's tone was full of exclamations, and there was a lot of emotion in them.
"Are you looking for Bernard? Albus! Professor McGonagall's voice rang out again.
"Go, it's not just Bernard, Severus, Filius, Pomona, Gildero......" Dumbledore nodded a dozen more names, "Minerva, call them all, the Chamber of Secrets is really open, and we have to think about what to do." ”
……
"How's Bernard?" Professor McGonagall asked eagerly.
"Well, I think it's the same as before, but for the safety of the students, I don't dare to break the curse." Bernard said with some embarrassment.
"Well, it's okay to be careful, let's go to the principal's office for a meeting, it's time to come up with an idea!" Dumbledore agreed to Bernard's words and led the professors to the Headmaster's office.
Harry jumped to his feet and cried as he looked at Colin's stiff face.
……
Standing still in the headmaster's room, Lockhart still said in his usual ridiculous tone: "If you want me to say, the students' ability to deal with the dark arts is too poor, as the teacher of the Defence Against the Dark Arts class, I have an unshirkable responsibility, I propose, the dueling club can be reopened, the students urgently need a spell or two to protect themselves." ”
"Well, yes, dueling club? That's a good idea, but it's not what I'm going to talk about today, I want to say that the secret room was also opened fifty years ago, and at that time another student was killed, so this time everyone must be careful, from today onwards, the number of teachers' night patrols will increase, please bear with me. Dumbledore said apologetically.
McGonagall, Flitvier and the others all said that there was no problem, and everyone turned around and left when they saw that there were no other problems, and Bernard noticed that Lockhart stayed, smiled and didn't say anything, and walked out with everyone.
