033. Cheeky Lockhart, Ms. Gray

Led by Professor Flitwick, Scott and his party returned to Ravenclawa.

However, when they climbed the spiral staircase, they found Lockhart standing neatly dressed outside the door of the common room.

"Oh! Shit! Roger immediately cursed in a low voice.

"You're back, Felius!"

Lockhart's eyes lit up at the sight of them, and he smiled brightly at Professor Flitwick.

"I feel the call of duty, and I'm needed here, a Defence Against the Dark Arts specialist. You know, no one is better at dealing with this kind of thing than I am! So I'm waiting here in advance! ”

He lifted his chin proudly, as if waiting for Professor Flitwick's plea for help.

Professor Flitwick's expression was like stepping on a piece of hot shit.

Probably because of the accidents that happened to Ravenclaw students in the past two days, the professor was in an extremely bad mood. There was no way for him to maintain his cultivation in the face of the nasty Lockhart.

"It's an internal affair at Ravenclaw House, Professor Lockhart." Professor Flitwick said to Lockhart with a cold face, "I think I'm the head of the house, and Dumbledore has left this to me!" ”

"Don't say that, Filius." Lockhart's expression instantly stiffened, and he grinned reluctantly, "Could it be that you have forgotten?" I am also a graduate of Ravenclaw College. ”

"Yes, you used to be." Professor Flitwick looked up at him coldly, "But you're no longer there now. ”

Without waiting for Lockhart to say anything more, he continued, "You don't need your help here, Lockhart. The common room of Ravenclaw College has never been entered by anyone other than the students and deans of the college! ”

Apparently two wizards with a huge difference in height, the tall Lockhart was suppressed by the explosive momentum of the short Professor Flitwick.

He changed his mind almost immediately.

"Okay. You're right, Filius. We cannot break the Ravenclaw tradition. ”

In the crowd, Eddie gloated, muttering, "Madam Pomfrey went in yesterday." ”

The corners of their mouths curled up as the students nearby heard him mutter.

Lockhart is still trying to save face.

"Of course, be sure to let me know if you need help! Remember, a Sir Merlin Order Recipient of the Order of Merlin, an Honorary Member of the Anti-Dark Arts League, is ready to serve you! ”

He bowed pretendedly, and then left under Professor Flitwick's increasingly annoyed gaze.

It's just that when he passed by Scott, he deliberately stopped and said something quickly.

"Oh, Trollope, you've done a great job today, haven't you? Out of the limelight in front of everyone. But I think you still have some room for improvement, and maybe you'll need guidance from a veteran. ”

“……”

Scott looked at him in surprise, and Lockhart's pretended friendly expression changed, and finally turned to leave completely.

Scott looked at his departing back with an indifferent look in his eyes, and couldn't help but marvel at his cheekiness.

"How dare he!" Roger said viciously, "He actually said he was an expert in front of Professor Flitwick!" ”

"It's not a big deal, you know, he did a lot of stupid things to grandstand when he was a student." Eddie was bragging about the news he had snodied.

It's a pity that at this time, everyone is not interested in Lockhart's old news.

Scott nudged his shoulder, "Let's go, the door to the break room is open." ”

"Okay, we'll talk about that later." Eddie shrugged his shoulders regretfully.

Upon entering the common common room, Professor Flitwick first found the ghost lady wandering around the lounge library.

"Ms. Gray!" He greeted her politely.

"Filius?" Ms. Gray, who had been facing the bookshelf, turned to look at Professor Flitwick and the students who had gathered.

Her expression was indifferent, but there was a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

"Did something happen?" She asked in an indifferent tone.

"Oh, yes." Professor Flitwick recounted what happened on the pitch.

"I know what you're asking." Miss Gray shook her head, "I can tell you, no. No one from outside the academy has ever entered here. ”

Roger asked anxiously, "So have you seen, I mean, who has entered our dorm?" ”

"I don't care about male dormitories." Lady Gray looked at him coldly.

"Good...... All right. Roger said weakly, "Thank you for your answer." ”

"I'm going to keep reading."

Miss Gray turned to stare at the bookshelf again, apparently not wanting to pay any more attention to them.

"Alright, don't bother Ms. Gray again."

Professor Flitwick said he waved at the other Ravenclaw students who had been following the crowd.

"Let's all disperse."

But the students stood still.

"Okay, okay, you can wait here for the results, but don't all go to Davis's dorm." Professor Flitwick said helplessly.

"Davis, take me to your dorm." He beckoned to Roger.

"Please come with me, Professor."

Roger led the way up the stairs to the male dormitory, with Professor Flitwick following him.

Scott and a few of his roommates followed. As for the members of the Quidditch team, Captain Bruce stopped the others and followed him himself.

Scott was the last to walk as he stepped up the stairs and turned his head to look precisely at Jacob in the crowd in the common room.

At this time, Jacob, who was standing alone in the corner, was also looking at him.

Looking at each other, Jacob quickly looked away.

Scott hooked his lips and turned his head to walk up the stairs.

"Actually, I went back to my dorm before going to the Quidditch pitch." He said to the others, "But I just hurriedly put down my textbook and left, and I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary." ”

"Actually, you can already imagine it." Eddie muttered with a strange expression, "The only people who can enter our dorm room should be Ravenclaw students." ”

"Oh no, you can't say that, Eddie."

Milton's expression was a little dazed, and he didn't seem to be able to accept such a conjecture at all.

"Also...... Maybe maybe Ms. Gray didn't notice that someone else had sneaked in and did it. After all, the question of the eagle knocker ...... It's not that hard. His face was wrinkled as he said this, and he was obviously uncomfortable with the conjecture.

"Accept it, Milton." Eddie let out a pretended old sigh.

As they entered the dormitory, Professor Flitwick began to inspect the rectangular wooden chest he had used to hold Quidditch supplies, as Roger instructed them.

"This is it, Professor." Roger said, "My Quidditch uniform, handguards and boots, and broomstick, I usually keep them in this box. ”

Scott also got a little closer.

He didn't pay attention when he came back to put the textbook before, but now he immediately noticed the abnormality after careful perception.
