Chapter 176: Gilderoy Lockhart
Pei Chen didn't ask Professor Snape if he knew the stupid question of Pointed Fork and the others, he just explained to himself: "As you can see, this is a map of living spots, I got it from the Gryffindor twins, maybe it was made by a former student, but their nicknames are a bit strange, so I can't find out who it is." ”
"Very clever magic props, the maker must have a super high magic attainment, otherwise it would be impossible to use the tracking charm so skillfully. And it seems that there is still a part...... How to make a portrait? After all, Dumbledore ordered more super magic skills, and he could see clearly the reality of the map at a glance, and he couldn't help but admire.
"Maybe!" Now is not the time to appreciate treasures, even Snape is attracted by the 'cause of Lily's death', looking at his appearance, if Pei Chen does not explain the situation to the point as soon as possible, or if Dumbledore continues to say some digressions, Pei Chen believes that he must not mind pouring poison on the two of them.
"Since you can see how this magic map works, you know that it will show the real names of people who appear within Hogwarts area, right? Because the constant tracking spell on the map will automatically track the person on it. Pei Chen deliberately used his finger to point and draw on the map, guiding the two to look at the other ink dots that were moving in large numbers, all of which were students at school.
It's a bit of a hassle that you won't show up on the map of the living spot, and it's not something that is difficult to explain, but if you can hide it, you can hide it. Pei Chen has always been a guy who doesn't like trouble.
"Well, I've read the information of Harry's parents, and it says that because Sirius Black betrayed Jaime and Lily, they were killed......" When he said this, Pei Chen suddenly felt the existence of a strong murderous source around him, and immediately subconsciously avoided Professor Snape, and began to seriously consider whether it was better not to bring in Lily Potter what he was going to say next?
After all, there is a simple infatuated man who lives for love next to him, and he may break out and hurt people at any time.
"From what I know, it seems that Sirius is the betrayer, and their other friend is...... Peter Pedirau? Sad to the point of despair, a single person who finds Sirius for revenge, and is killed, almost without bones? Pei Chen briefly recounted the incident in a playful tone, and then saw that the two of them were silent, and Snape clenched his fists even more, and his heart was definitely not calm.
"Ha, that's so interesting, you know what I found? A ...... who had already died, and had been awarded the Order of Merlin, 1st class," Pei Chen laughed coldly, "Of course, maybe it's a student with the same name, it depends on what you think......
Seeing the name of the little ink dot that was in a boy's dormitory in the Gryffindor Tower, which Pei Chen's finger was pressing, the two of them suddenly became gloomy. Especially Dumbledore, after the initial shock, there was anger in his hair, at least Pei Chen had never seen him so angry.
……
……
"Why don't you just arrest him!! That filthy bug! Traitor!! ”
Snape asked Dumbledore in a hoarse voice, his eyes bloodshot, without the slightest calmness and indifference, like an ordinary man who was driven mad by the thirst for revenge. Pei Chen had just left the principal's office with his front foot, and he couldn't help it with his back foot.
"Calm down, Severus." The headmaster said calmly.
"Calm down?! How do you calm me down? Defector...... The guy who let the Dark Lord kill Lily survived without even a little punishment...... You know, even that dog has been locked up in Azkaban for eleven years!! ”
Dumbledore sighed, "And then, what do you think we should do?" It was naturally easier to catch Peter directly. However, it would be difficult to clear Sirius's guilt by doing so, after all, the Ministry of Magic would never admit that they had made such a big mistake...... I know their mentality, they would rather kill Peter and Sirius than give a chance to overturn what happened eleven years ago, because that would be tantamount to accusing them of incompetence. ”
"You may not care about Sirius's life at all, but he still gave too much...... We needed a well-thought-out plan, a plan that would make it impossible for the Ministry of Magic to do things for any reason. ”
Dumbledore was also pale, he usually didn't think much of it, but when the matter came, he found out how much the Ministry of Magic was restricting himself and others, and the things that could be explained directly might threaten their dominance, and if they said it directly, they would be persecuted and plotted, so they needed to be carried out in a roundabout way......
What was supposed to be an extremely simple thing has to be so troublesome......
Merlin is on top, take them away as soon as possible! Let them all explode, that would be the most honorable death for them!
At this moment, Snape and Dumbledore's strange thoughts were synchronized, and at the same time, they blessed the officials of the British Ministry of Magic with strong malice.
"And Harry is still so young, and his ability to accept it is also a problem!" This was another of Dumbledore's concerns.
"Harry? James Potter's son?! Why should I care about him......" Professor Snape's face distorted, but before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by the old headmaster.
Dumbledore's calm tone reaffirmed the argument, "But that is also the child that Lily protected with her life, and it is her only bloodline. ”
Snape's eyes flashed with pain, but he didn't say anything more, and his expression gradually calmed down.
……
……
"It's funny, Snape and Harry's parents...... If it is thrown to the female frequency, those female authors with big brains will definitely write at least two million words of bloody sadomasochistic essays...... And it is estimated that it is still the kind of chicken blood that has been beaten five times a day...... Gee. ”
Walking down the corridor with light steps, the long hair behind Pei Chen was windless, and he didn't expect that this time things would go so smoothly - it was too troublesome to determine the plan that needed to be implemented afterwards.
Whether it is Pei Chen, Dumbledore, or even Snape, the three of them are not fuel-efficient lamps, and in this scene they all represent the group at the top of the force value, and it also means that they are super powerful.
In just half an hour, they had almost determined everything that had happened, and had also figured out the true identity of "Peter Pediru", who was indeed the man who had died honorably eleven years ago, but now he was a fat rat called Spotted.
That's right, the same mouse I saw on the Hogwarts Express was Ron Weasley's pet, and it was said to have been passed down from his brothers.
"No wonder Ron would say that the rat lived for a long time, how could an ordinary rat have such a long lifespan?" Pei Chen thought about it, and made sure that his information could be correct, and there would be no fatal mistakes.
"But the next thing is also a trouble, how should it be executed? Although there was a fair reason to go to Azkaban, it was a matter of trying to unintentionally pass on the news of Peter Pediró to Sirius and spur him into escaping from prison...... Nima is so difficult in his mission. ”
After thinking about it, Pei Chen still didn't have much clue, and in a distraught state, he took out the map of the living point again to check, wanting to see where the current mouse was, but he was shocked to find that the target was not far in front of him, that is, the distance between two corners.
At the same time, in that position, there were also a lot of small ink dots, but Pei Chen directly captured the key characters in it-
Harry Potter!
Ron Weasley!
Hermione Granger!
The Gryffindor trio, and ......
The new Defence Against the Dark Arts professor, Gilderoy Lockhart!
"Oh, don't tell me it's true, is that really issuing his autographed photo?" Pei Chen frowned tightly, walked quickly past the last few dozen meters, turned a corner, and then saw the crowd surging in the corridor, which was indeed at the edge of the door of a professor's office.
It was lively and noisy, the screams of the girls rang out from time to time, and the shutter of the camera and the dazzling flash were also very eye-catching.
A long line had gracefully stretched around the corner of the hallway, where Gildelow Lockhart was signing his autobiography. Pei Chen paid attention to it and found that most of them were girls queuing, with a fascinated expression on their faces, obviously fascinated by this male witch and unable to find the sky and the earth.
Harry and Ron grimaced, as if they had been forced by Hermione to come here and stand in line. Pei Chen's sharp eyes found that on Ron's shoulder, the mouse that had begun to shed its hair was lying on its stomach, still looking very sleepy and listless. His eyes narrowed slightly, and the red light flashed in a fleeting manner.
Gilderoy Lockhart seemed to have a weak hand in signing his autograph, shook his hand, looked up, and then he saw Pei Chen, who was standing not far away, and suddenly he jumped up and shouted happily, "Isn't this Professor Lyle?" I wanted to visit you before, but you weren't in the castle......"
As he spoke, he wanted to push away the crowd and walked towards Pei Chen.
The crowd immediately moved out of the way, and everyone was whispering excitedly. Professor Lyle is also very popular in Hogwarts, whether it is his elegant and timeless freshness or the unprecedented exotic atmosphere of oriental aristocracy, which has made him accumulate great popularity among Hogwarts students.
Gilderoy Lockhart separated the crowd and came to Pei Chen, grabbing his hand enthusiastically and trying to pull him into the middle of the crowd. Pei Chen frowned and was about to break free coldly, but he heard him say this-"Professor Lyle, we can take a group photo, believe me, a man like you is really charming, there will be many girls who are willing to pay a lot of money to collect your photos......"
Photo? Pei Chen's eyes lit up slightly, and when he saw the black camera in the hand of a senior student in the crowd, he suddenly couldn't help but want to laugh out loud, he thought of a good idea. Lockhart, although this guy is a little sassy, is not completely useless, he just wanted to doze off, he sent a pillow.
As for whether there are beautiful and cute girls who are willing to collect his photos, Pei Chen doesn't care at all, anyway, it's just photos, he has always looked at such things relatively lightly. Even if it's taken by some strange man, it doesn't matter if it's not bumped into by him on the spot, although it may be more annoying.
"Yes, Professor Gilderoy Lockhart." Pei Chen showed a bright smile, very good-looking, "It just so happens that I can also take a few photos with the students by the way......"
The crowd burst into applause, and some of the girls even turned red with excitement, like ripe apples.
