In terms of classroom performance alone, Hufflepuff is indeed a Gryffindor. Of course, the most important thing is that Hufflepuff is prepared, and the gap between intentional and unintentional is still very large.

Unfortunately, no matter how well they performed, it didn't matter to Lockhart, and the main determining factor for Lockhart's class performance was how much the students admired him. The more the student adores him, the happier he is, and the higher the class score. Hufflepuff is notoriously rational, and although there are many students who worship Lockhart, this number is much worse than that of other houses.

As a result, Hufflepuffs, who were obviously doing better, had lower class scores than Gryffindors, much to the chagrin of Hufflepuff students. When he walked out of the class, he had only attended one class, but many students were already dissatisfied with Lockhart. And as the course continues, this dissatisfaction will only grow stronger, after all, Lockhart has no real skills, and it is impossible to convince these students.

However, this has little to do with Du Teng, he has recently been idle again, the two Horcruxes have been studied almost completely, and he has basically figured out the manufacturing method of the Horcruxes, compared to his ability to split souls, there is indeed an essential gap, but some of the skills in it are still very interesting.

Especially considering the situation he needs to face at this time, it would be nice to make a Horcrux that belongs only to him. The soul torn out of the Horcrux has very little to do with the main body, even if the main body is killed, the soul inside the Horcrux will not be affected, and if someone wants to rely on the soul of the Horcrux or the soul of the main body to find the other party, it is almost impossible.

Because in essence, these are already two completely different souls, and in this regard, Horcruxes obviously have an advantage over souls.

Without a specific goal, Duten was idle and began to return to the life of a regular student, looking exactly like all Hogwarts students.

The days passed like this, and Du Teng originally thought that this semester would be a stable semester, after all, the diary had been pocketed by him, and without the diary, there would be nothing to do in the secret room, but the result was not as simple as he imagined.

As the saying goes, the tree wants to be quiet and the wind doesn't stop, and he hopes that the plot can change like this, but the development of events obviously does not fully match his ideas.

It all started on Halloween.

Harry and the others accepted the ghosts' invitation to the ghosts' dinner, and they invited Duten, but Duten declined. He knew what the ghosts and ghosts ate, so he wasn't interested at all, and he thought it would be better to eat some human food. So he and his classmates from his own college spent Halloween in the big cafeteria, which was also the choice of almost all students.

After happily eating dinner, Du Teng and his classmates from the same college talked and laughed and walked to the dormitory.

Seeing Harry and Ron staring at a wall from a distance was somewhat familiar, but he didn't care, or he didn't think it was going to happen. But he was wrong, and when he approached him, he saw a large line written on the wall in black and red liquid - "The mysterious chamber has been opened." Be the enemy of the heir, be on the lookout! ”

When Du Teng saw this line of words, other students also saw this line of words, and in an instant, all the chattering sounds, footsteps, and all the sounds stopped. Harry, Ron, and Hermione stood in the middle of the hallway, and everyone quietly leaned forward to look at the horrible writing on the wall, and the upside-down cat.

In the silence, a man shouted.

"Be the enemy of the heir, be vigilant! You're the next target, Mudblood! ”

Decora Malf walked out of the crowd. His cold eyes glowed, his normally bloodless face flushed, and he grinned as he stared at the hanging cat.

"What happened? What happened? There was no doubt that Malfoy's cries caught Filch's attention.

Filch squeezed a path through his shoulders and cut through the crowd. When he saw Lady Norris, he stepped back in fright, his face full of horror.

"My cat! My cat! What happened to Lady Norris? He screamed.

His eyes widened and he turned his gaze to Harry.

"You!" He screamed, "It's you! You killed my cat! You killed her! I'll kill you! I'm going to-"

"Filch!" Dumbledore had arrived at the scene at this time, followed by a group of teachers. He quickly untied Lady Norris.

"Follow me, Filch," he said to Filch. "Come too, Mr. Potter, Mr. Weasley, and Miss Granger."

Lockhart stepped forward, looking particularly enthusiastic.

"My office is the closest, principal. It's upstairs, so feel free to use it! ”

The silent crowd quickly dispersed and let them walk up. Lockhart followed Dumbledore excitedly and presumptuously, as did McGonagall and Professor Snape.

The professors left, and the prefects of each college consciously took the students of each college back to their own college lounge.

At this time, Du Teng walked up to his prefect and said a few words.

The prefect nodded.

"Remember to come back early, the professors don't have many restrictions on you, but don't go too far, today's things are not simple, it is estimated that something big will happen, you must not be caught by the professors."

The entire Hufflepuff House was very reassured of Duten, because he had never been at fault.

"I know."

Duten nodded, then turned to the Gryffindor House line.

"Duten, why are you ......?"

Percy saw Du Teng, his face visibly confused.

"It's okay, lead the team to Gryffindor Tower, I'll go with you, I'm good friends with Harry and Ron, I'll go with you to see them."

Duten's reasons were impeccable, and Percy didn't think much of it.

"Okay, thank you."

In fact, as an elder brother, of course he also cares about his younger brother, but he is too serious and too conservative, so he doesn't dare to go beyond it, and he can only bury it in his heart.

The students dispersed and returned to their respective colleges.

Duten followed him to the Gryffindor Tower, where he chatted with the Gryffindor students for a while, and when the clock struck midnight, Harry and Ron returned to the common room.

"Duten? How do you ......"

"I'll stay and see you, how about it, Professor Dumbledore didn't embarrass you."

Duten looked Harry and Ron up and down with a look of concern on their faces.

"It's okay, Professor Dumbledore has exonerated us, you don't know, Filch is almost a cannibal, and Snape, who has been fanning the flames by the side, if it weren't for Professor Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall, we would be in trouble today."

Ron was babbling on the side.

But in general, they didn't have any trouble, and Du Teng was relieved and immediately left.

……

"It stinks!"

As soon as he returned to the dormitory, the Sphinx screamed and jumped on the windowsill, away from Duten.

"And it's fishy, did you go to the stinky fish market? Why is it so fishy. Stay away from me, I don't like the smell of fish. ”

"No, I went to the Halloween dinner, but after the party, something happened. By the way, is that journal okay? ”

Du Teng said to the Sphinx as he undressed.

"I don't know, maybe it's okay, maybe it's not good, you know, I'm going out in the sun during the day, and I don't like the smell of dark magic, but speaking of which, it seems to be a lot less stink these days, is there something wrong with that Horcrux?"

The Sphinx looked up at Du Teng, his eyes green and blue.

"Maybe something really went wrong."

With a smile on his face, Du Teng walked to a cabinet door, reached out and lightly touched the cabinet door.

The Sphinx jumped onto Duten's shoulder and took a look.

"Okay, it's still there!"

"No, it's gone."

The smile on Du Teng's face has not changed, but the aura on his body has begun to change.

The Sphinx glanced at him, silently jumped off him, and fell back on the windowsill, licking his paws obediently.

"It's a lot of courage, I even dare to move my things, it seems that the disappearance of Duan Feng's team still hasn't made them remember it for a long time."

The smile on Du Teng's face gradually became cold, he picked up the diary and looked at it, then casually tossed it aside, closed the cabinet door, and then took off his clothes and began to go to bed.

After a long time.

"Hey, you're alright."

Because Duten's status was different, he was given a single dormitory, and Professor Sprout agreed, so he didn't worry about being heard by others about his conversation with Sphinx.

"It's fine."

"Oh, that's good, don't be impulsive anyway, think through before you do anything!"

"I understand."

……

For some time to come, little was said about anything other than the murder of Mrs. Norris.

Filch often walked past the place where it had been attacked, as if he thought the killer would come back. This makes the incident fresh in everyone's memory. Harry saw him scrubbing the messages on the wall, but to no avail. The words remain on the wall as in the past, eye-catching. When Filch wasn't at the protection site, he would sneak through the aisles, hunting down students who didn't believe him, trying to lock them up on charges of "breathing too loudly" or "looking too happy."

When everyone sat down again, Ginny Weasley seemed to be very bothered by the fate of Lady Norris, who Ron had said was a big cat fan.

"But you don't know Lady Tinorith," Ron said to him in high spirits. "Frankly, we would be much better off without it."

Ginny's lips began to tremble.

"It's not often at Hogwarts that something like this happens," Ron assured her. "They're going to catch the madman who did it and get him out right away. I just hope there's enough time to petrify Filch before he's driven away. Oh, I'm just kidding—" Ron said quickly.

And Ginny turned pale with fright.

Whoever drove it, she was worried about Mrs. Noris again, but Du Teng looked at her a few more times, and now Du Teng was basically sure that the plot had developed as always, and the diary was really in Ginny's hands. So the one who stole the diary......

Duten's eyes looked to the location of the Ravenclaw Academy, where the five reincarnators who had changed their faces were discussing something. Du Teng was too lazy to eavesdrop, in her heart, these people were already dead.

……

The whole thing had an effect on Hermione as well. Hermione spends a lot of time reading books and doing little else. When Harry and Ron asked her what she was up to, she didn't answer until the following Wednesday when they found out the mystery.

They searched the library for books on Hogwarts history, but there was no doubt that Hermione didn't find a single one.

She kept asking Professor Binns in the history of magic class, and the other students were also very interested, but Professor Binns was annoyed and scolded by the professor.

Unable to get any useful information from the professor, they began to investigate on their own, and they searched all the books, but no matter what method they used, the answer was always a little bit worse, just a little bit worse, and they always lost clues at the most critical moments.

And during this time, someone was petrified again.

Colin Creevey, a student who admires Harry very much, a student who likes to take pictures of Harry, and at the same time a person that Harry is very tired of. But now that he was petrified, Harry's back was chilling, and with Dobby's reminder from the house-elf, he could already sense that danger was approaching.

They were even more anxious, trying to disguise themselves with the Polyjuice Decoction to trick Malfoy's words, but unfortunately, although Malfoy was clamoring so much, this matter had nothing to do with him. All the clues seem to have been broken.

But at this moment, they suddenly got a "message" from the myrtle in the women's bathroom, saying that another little girl had thrown a diary into the bathroom.

Harry and his party discussed it, and after having no clue, put the matter aside for the time being.

Valentine's Day is fast approaching, and Lockhart calls Harry to help him answer fan letters, and this night Harry will see through all the secrets. On the same night, Duten left his dormitory and walked towards the Ravenclaw student dormitory.

On the way, he meets Filch, who has recently gone completely insane and is even ready to imprison Duten for no reason.

"Forget it."

Duten was casual, and Filch turned away as if he had been stupid. Then Duten walked on his feet, and in a short time he came to the outside of the Ravenclaw common room.

Outside the door, the five members of the reincarnation team were already in full battle.

"You know I'm coming?"

Du Teng asked with some curiosity.

"Of course, if we steal your journal, we know you won't give up."

"Then you should have stopped from the beginning, since you already understood this."

"However, if we don't try, we won't be reconciled, after all, we have already failed one mission, and we can't allow the second mission to fail as well."

"Got it, then, let's get started."

After an unnutritious conversation, the battle is on the verge of breaking out. (To be continued.) )
