"Where was the dead girl found when the Chamber of Secrets was first opened?" Calvin stood up and asked Dumbledore.

"The abandoned women's bathroom on the second floor."

Calvin picked up the map and looked at the bathroom, "That's it, let's go over and call Harry." ”

Just as Calvin was about to leave, the door to his office was violently pushed open. A man with a haughty expression strode in, his chin raised, and his nostrils glanced around the four people in the office.

"Headmaster Dumbledore, I didn't see you in your office, and when I found out you were here, I rushed over immediately."

Lucius propped his cane in both hands and said indifferently, "I received a lot of letters from friends this morning, and they are all parents of students. In the letter, they say that something terrible seems to have happened to Hogwarts. I think it is my responsibility as a school manager to sort out what happened......"

Lucius's gaze lingered on Dumbledore, Snape, and Calvin for a moment, trying not to produce any emotional changes.

Snape whispered in Calvin's ear, "Did you instruct that?" ”

"It's not." There was only one word in response.

Unsurprised by Lucius's visit, Dumbledore took off his glasses and rubbed his sour eyes, "So, Mr. Malfoy, are you coming to me on behalf of the school board?" ”

After a brief pause, Lucius said, "I'm only here to find out the truth on my own behalf, and I'll report all the information to the school board as it is." ”

Dumbledore put his glasses back on, his little blue eyes filled with a glint of wisdom, "Then, Pomona, the school will be handed over to you for the time being." ”

Professor Sprout nodded and left Professor Conservation Magical Beasts' office. Calvin hurriedly stepped forward, "I'll do it." He then closed the door to Professor Sprout's office and sat back down on the couch.

However, just as Calvin closes the door, one of his doppelgangers leaves the office with a map of the live spots.

-----------------

Harry, Ron, and Malfoy put on their cloaks of invisibility and hurried to Myrtle's bathroom on the second floor to contain their excitement.

However, when they passed by the place where the first victim, Mr. Filch, was found, they were surprised to find that under the original two lines, another line appeared:

"Her bones will remain in the Chamber of Secrets forever."

"It must be the monster attacking again." Harry said firmly.

Ron's heart was beating hard, and he pointed to the line and asked, "Who is this 'she'?" ”

Neither Harry nor Malfoy could answer the question, except to say that the basilisk had to be caught as soon as possible.

Just as they turned, a man ran out of the corner behind them, knocking the three of them to the ground, and the invisibility cloak could no longer block their tracks.

Harry nervously looked at the man who had knocked them down, who was dressed in a black wizard's robe and carrying two boxes in his hands, and seemed to have packed in a hurry, with several sleeves sticking out of the cracks in the boxes.

"Professor Lockhart!" Harry called out his identity in surprise.

Lockhart scrambled to his feet from the ground, not even fixing his messy hair, just barely squeezing out a smile: "Ah, Mr. Potter, Mr. Wesley, and Mr. Malfoy." Professor Sprout is looking for you everywhere? And Miss Wesley, isn't she with you? ”

"Ginny! Is she not there? Ron's mouth opened wide, a sense of foreboding.

"Yes, yes," Lockhart glanced at his watch impatiently, "I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry, I'll talk when I'm free." ”

Harry and Malfoy teamed up to stop him.

"Are you going somewhere?" Harry asked.

"Well, yes, yes," Lockhart said, trying to get past Harry, "and got an urgent notice... Can't hide... Had to go..."

"Are you trying to escape?" Ron impulsively asked, "My sister may have been caught in the secret room by the basilisk!" ”

"Ah, that's a misfortune," Lockhart avoided their gaze and tried to walk over the other side, "there is no one more sorry than I do—please, let me pass......"

"You're the Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher!" Harry said in disbelief, "You can't go now!" Now there's something evil at work here. ”

"This, this, how to say... When I first accepted the role... That's not included in the work regulations," Lockhart said slyly.

"You really want to run away?" Malfoy was similarly shocked and asked, "You've written so many great books, you can't be a coward, right?" ”

"Well," Lockhart put down the box for a moment, reining in his panicked expression, "I lied to everyone, those are not my stories at all. ”

"What?" Harry, Ron, and Draco exclaimed at the same time.

"My dear children," Lockhart said with his trademark smile, "think about it with your common sense." If I didn't make people think that I did all of that, the book wouldn't sell well.

No one will read the story of an ugly old Armenian wizard, although he saved the people of a village from the scourge of werewolves. Put his picture on the cover, and it won't be hard to look at. And the witch who banished the female ghost of Wanlun, she even grew a beard! I mean, you think about it..."

"So you're just putting all the stuff that other people do on your own account?" Harry asked incredulously.

"Harry, don't you understand?" Lockhart shook his head impatiently and said, "It's not as simple as you say. I also have a lot of work? I'm going to track them down and get the truth out of their mouths. Then I'm going to cast an amnesia spell on them so they can forget about it completely. ”

"So, I'm really leaving, kids."

With that, Lockhart lifted the box again, walked around the three Harry, and walked forward.

"You don't even want to go." Malfoy's voice was filled with disgust and disgust. He pulled out a crystal ball from his back, which he had bought from the Wesley twins.

He patted the crystal ball, and Lockhart's voice came out clearly: "Think about it with your common sense." If you don't let people think that I did all those things......"

Lockhart paused, chuckled, put the box back down, and pulled out his wand, "I didn't want to cast this spell in front of you......"

】

Harry and the others immediately sensed the crisis, quickly pulled out their wands, and aimed them at Lockhart.

Lockhart turned around, a scornful smile on his face, "You don't really think I'm crappy Gilderoy Lockhart. ”

"Actually, I still have a magic spell or two that I do best, like this ......"

"Forget it!"
