Chapter 9: The plot collapses

The attack scares the school, and Lockhart teaches a few tips to protect himself.

After class, Hermione stopped Lockhart. "Oh—Professor Lockhart?" Hermione stammered, "Well, I think- want to borrow this book from the library." Hope to get some background from it. She held up the note, her hand trembling slightly. "The problem is that this book is in the ** section of the library, so I need a teacher to sign the slip of paper - I'm sure this book will help me understand the venom of chronic onset that you talked about in Travels with Ghouls......"

"Ah, Traveling with Ghouls!" Lockhart took the note from Hermione's hand and smiled warmly at her. But in my heart, I was thinking, I must be looking for the formula for the transformation potion, "This is probably the most satisfying book for me." Do you like it?"

"Oh, like," Hermione said eagerly, "how witty you were to catch the last ghoul with a strainer......

"Hehe, Miss Granger, I was just going to the library to find out what monster petrified Lady Loris. Let's go together."

"Oh...... Good...... Professor Lockhart. Hermione herself had a ghost in her heart, hoping that Lockhart could inadvertently borrow the approval slip for "Powerful Potion" directly for herself, but she was a little overwhelmed by Lockhart's impromptu idea.

Lockhart and Hermione walked out of the classroom together, and Harry and Ron, who were hiding on the sidelines, immediately stared blankly, "What's going on?"

I saw Hermione secretly make a V gesture to them.

Ron said, "What's wrong, plans have changed?"

"They seem to be going to the library, and they should have succeeded, but is Professor Lockhart going to help us get the books himself? Harry was confused, too.

In the library, Lockhart took a book about magical creatures, trying to find out if there was a way to deal with the basilisk, and Hermione took the potions book, struggling with the difficulty of transforming into a potion.

Lockhart flipped to the basilisk part, and rummaged through it and only said how terrifying the basilisk was Balabala, and did not give any way to deal with it. As for the rooster's crow, you can't always carry the rooster all the time - right? What is the principle of the basilisk attacking people, using his eyes to release Avada Suo, or hypnotizing people to make people die? I wonder if wearing sunglasses can deal with the basilisk? Forget it, this is not a man in black.

Lockhart spread the book on the table, clutching his hair in annoyance, "I can't help it, go and ask Hagrid for a few roosters to spare." ”

"What rooster?" Hermione curiously leaned over to look at the book Lockhart had placed on the table, "Basilisk? its gaze is the most dangerous weapon of attack: any creature that intersects directly with its gaze will be killed instantly, and any creature that intersects indirectly (such as seen in a mirror) will be petrified. As long as the food is sufficient, the basilisk can usually live for a long time. Basilisk is a natural predator of spiders......"

Before Lockhart could react and close the book, Hermione had already seen the useful information. "Professor, you're a genius! You've found the murderer, and Lady Loris turned to stone because she saw the basilisk in the reflection of the water!" Hermione screamed.

Nima, Hermione. Can you not react so quickly? Even if you know, can you not shout? Can you not still hold me while shouting? The whole library is looking at us.

Damn, it's not part of the plan, so many people Lockhart can't blatantly use it all to forget. Oops, Pince, the librarian, walked up to them, oh well, Lockhart is a professor, there's no way she's going to hit me with a feather duster. To make matters worse, Ginny was in the library, standing up with her eyes blank and running out!

Lockhart immediately stood up and ran out to chase Ginny.

Hermione followed behind, "Professor, what's going on?"

"Hermione, what are you doing here!" Lockhart said angrily, "Forget it, remember, whatever happens, you just have to close your eyes!"

"Don't care about anything, what?" Hermione looked at Lockhart with a cute expression, and her eyes gradually lit up, "Have you already guessed the entrance to the secret room? You're going to deal with the basilisk? I know that nothing will bother you!"

Lockhart ignores Hermione, who is in a state of euphoria.

(Where's Ginny, is she going to deal with the diary or going to the Chamber of Secrets?) No, I should go to the Headmaster now, I can't deal with the basilisk or Voldemort's soul.) )
