Madame Pomrui's medicine was so effective that it only took one night for Harry to feel his bones grow back, but his movements were a little stiff, and it would take a few days to fully recover.

Twisting his breakfast with his left hand, Harry got dressed as fast as he could, he had to go find Ron and Hermione. He didn't know why he thought about the bathroom on the first floor, and when he asked around the school library and couldn't find any of them, his first reaction was there.

Looking around, Filch was thankfully absent, since Mrs. Loris's accident, he had often wandered around here, looking at everyone who looked like murderers.

"It's me," he said, banging on the dirty door. There was the sound of water splashing and gasping in surprise in the bathroom, and he then saw Hermione staring at him.

"Harry!" She said, "You're scared us to death." Come in - what's going on with your hands? ”

"It's alright," Harry said as he locked the door and squeezed into the bathroom, where a dilapidated cauldron hung with a crack in the edge, and Hermione lit a fire underneath it. The fire was made by magic, light and waterproof.

"We wanted to go to you, but we decided to start working on the potion first." Ron explained, as Harry had gone to great lengths to lock the door. "We think it's the safest place to hide it."

Harry started telling them about Colin, but Ron interrupted him. "We already know that. We heard Professor McGonagall tell Professor Flitwick in the morning. That's why we decided to get hands-on—"

When she woke up early in the morning, Hermione accidentally knew that Colin had also been petrified, and when she found him, there was a bunch of grapes with her, and they both thought that Colin had encountered a sneak attacker when she was secretly visiting Harry.

"But I think Colin got you in the driver's way." Hermione added, "Come to think of it, Colin came out by accident, but if he hadn't come out, who do you think would have been tricked?" I heard that the place where the accident happened was very close to the school doctor's office. ”

Harry shuddered, "You mean, his target is me?" But who will do it? ”

"I still think it's Edge, who just finished his shady business yesterday, and another attack that night, bigger than Malfoy's problem." Ron pointed the finger at Aitch again, "Remember? Yesterday afternoon, Aitch had also visited Harry, and I thought it was to make sure Harry would not spend the night in the school infirmary, and only then would he be left alone. ”

"Hmph, it won't be Edge, don't forget, it was Edge who saved Harry on the pitch." Not to be outdone, Hermione said, "Wait, when the medicine is finished, you'll believe it." As she spoke, she tore up the bundles of tangled grass and threw them into the medicinal soup.

"Remember Dobby? He came to see me in the middle of the night. Harry continued.

Ron and Hermione looked up in surprise. Harry told them everything Dobby said. Ron and Hermione listened with their mouths wide open.

"The Chamber of Secrets has been opened before?" Hermione asked, "This solves the problem." She said in a triumphant tone. Malfoy's father must have opened it when he was at school, and now it was he who told dear Malfoy what to do. I'll just say Aitch is innocent and we should focus our investigation on Malfoy. ”

"That can't be just thought. Malfoy and Aitch are close, and you don't know it. I wonder two bad guys are involved in this crime! Ron said as he poured his clear wings onto the leech, always thinking that Aitch was a poisonous snake. But, Harry, be careful, if Dobby doesn't stop his so-called rescue of you, he'll kill you. ”

As time passed, news of Colin lying in the school infirmary spread, and some even said that he was in a near-death state. The air suddenly grew heavy with rumors and suspicions, and the first-year students were now moving towards the castle in groups, as if to prevent an attack if they were acting alone. At the same time, hiding from the professors, the school is in full swing to buy and sell amulets, peace charms and other talismans. Even Neville, a pure-blood wizard, bought a large, weird-tasting green onion, a purple bracelet crystal, and a rotten lizard tail, which he had heard were good at warding off evil spirits.

During this time, the three Harry caused Snape another big problem in Potions class when Harry pulled out a Fred's firecracker and quickly lit it with his wand, quickly throwing it into Malfoy's pot. It is said that Aitch used this to make a big fuss at school before. (Harry speculated that it was the explosion on the night Voldemort went to steal the Philosopher's Stone.) Harry cut the amount off quite a bit, but still made Malfoy's potion burst and splashed all over the classroom. Hermione took advantage of the chaos to go to Snape's private storage room and get all the materials needed for the potion.

As the week passed, people gathered around the bulletin board, and Harry and the others squeezed in, and saw that it was written: In order to protect the eternal peace of Hogwarts, and in order to cultivate students' self-protection skills, the school will organize a fighting club. Tonight at eight o'clock, the first rally will take place in the lobby.

"You expect Slytherin monsters to fight?" Ron didn't think it worked.

"It can come in handy." Harrila went up to Hermione, "Let's go too." ”

So they arrived in the lobby at eight o'clock that night. The long dining table was gone, replaced by a gleaming golden stage against the wall, with a thousand candles lit on it, and a dark purple ceiling, as if the whole club was wrapped underneath, all with excitement on their faces and wands.

"I wonder who taught us?" As they approached the chattering crowd, Hermione said, "Aitch once told me that Professor Flitwick was a dueling champion when he was younger, and gave Aitch a lot of useful advice, maybe it was him." ”

"As long as it's not ......," Harry cried out in pain as he saw Professor Lockhart walk onto the stage, dressed in his best robes, and next to Snape, dressed in his usual black robes. His unspoken hopes were dashed.

Lockhart waved for the people to be quiet, and he shouted, "Gather, gather!" Will each of you be able to see me? Can you hear me? …… Great! Now, Professor Dumbledore has given me permission to open a fighting club to train you in case you need to defend yourself, as I have done countless times - the details can be seen in my writings. At this time, he did not forget to sell his book.

"Let me introduce my assistant, Professor Snape," Lockhart said, with a big smile on his face, assuming that the Slytherin students had begun to clapping and cheering for him. "He told me that he knows a lot about martial arts and promised to give us some temporary help before we started. Now, I don't want you young people to worry - you're still going to have your Potions teacher when I penetrate him. - Don't be afraid! ”

"Wouldn't it be better if they killed each other?" Ron muttered to Harry.

Snape's upper lip pursed. Harry wondered why Lockhart was still smiling; If Snape had looked at him like that, he would have fled in fright.

Lockhart and Snape bowed to each other. Then Snape entered a different state, his head held out angrily, his focused and aggressive eyes and hooked nose made people feel like he was being targeted by a vulture. In addition to Lockhart, he also laughed at Mimi's. Then they held their wands in front of them like swords.
