As if to keep the students from thinking nonsense, the teachers tacitly assigned a large amount of homework and filled the Easter holiday schedule.

They seem to be convinced that as long as the students are busy enough, they won't have the time to feel uneasy.

Although it had been a long time since the last attack, the Aurors, who had been patrolling the school, reminded the students that the danger was not over.

The news that Professor Dumbledore was no longer Headmaster had added to this unease.

Still, the atmosphere on Easter Day is more pleasant.

The students heard rumors early in the morning that the school had arranged a grand Easter feast.

The school board also allocated funds to purchase a large number of high-quality Easter eggs in an attempt to invigorate with chocolate.

All of Hallie's homework has been written, seals have been made, and class selection sheets have been handed in.

She decided not to read a book today and give herself some relaxation.

By the time the holiday was over, she would have to try to find the monster in the secret room.

Not just so that the school does not get shut down, but for the possibility of a whole bunch of materials.

After all, according to the description of the basilisk in the book, this thing is full of treasures and priceless no matter how you look at it.

The Easter feast was going on, and some joy was restored among the students.

But on the teacher's seat, the teachers still had a mixture of tired and dignified expressions, just eating silently.

Even Professor Lockhart, who is usually very fond of making moths at festivals, rarely did not make trouble.

No, or maybe he didn't come at all.

This is not a common phenomenon, and Professor Lockhart, who likes to show off, never misses a festival.

Hallie squinted at the message.

She took a small bite of a piece of cake and was wiping her mouth with her hand when she suddenly felt her whole body tremble.

No, it's not that I'm trembling, it's the whole castle that's trembling.

Even though it was only for a moment, everyone felt it clearly.

The Aurors reacted quickly, quickly drawing their wands, standing up and looking around.

They had also been in Hogwarts for seven years, but they had never seen anything like it.

The professors were equally alarmed, and drew their wands to guard against possible danger.

Suddenly, a figure appeared in the open door of the auditorium.

It's Professor Lockhart.

He was dressed in emerald green wizard robes, with a pointed hat, a wand in his hand, and a little song in his mouth.

Professor Lockhart had an air of bohemianism, like a wandering magician common to the streets of the Muggle world.

"Professor Lockhart, what are you doing!" Professor McGonagall, as Interim Vice-Chancellor, was the first to speak out.

Her voice was slightly angry, after all, everyone knew that the current situation was not stable, so there should be no panic.

"Oh, dear Professor McGonagall." Professor Lockhart's voice was extremely flirtatious, "For my plan, of course!"

You know, I worked hard to plan the previous series of attacks! ”

"What?"

There was an uproar in the auditorium, and everyone was talking.

If they heard me correctly, Professor Lockhart just admitted that he had planned the attack?

"Do you know what you're talking about? Now is not the time to put on a show for you, Professor Lockhart......"

Before Professor McGonagall could finish her sentence, she was stopped by the Auror of House Higgs.

"Professor McGonagall," Higgs said with unconcealed joy in his voice,

"Since Professor Lockhart himself has admitted that he planned the previous series of attacks, it is up to the Aurors to take care of the matter.

Whether the attacker is him or not, we should arrest him first. The Ministry of Magic will try him!

Team 4, Plan 3, come with me to arrest the prisoners!

Kingsley, I hope you will lead the five teams to protect the students and prevent the prisoners from taking the students hostage! ”

"No problem, Tyr (Auror Higgs' name)." Shackel responded, waving his wand and creating invisible walls.

"Oh yes! Oh yes! Professor Lockhart stood still, his voice full of confidence,

"I'm sorry, just an Auror, don't make a fool of yourself, okay?

Peschipikxi Pestro Nomi! ”

Professor Lockhart waved his wand and shouted a spell.

Harry's eyes froze, if she remembered correctly, the spell it was the same spell that Professor Lockhart had used against the Cornish elves in his first class, and the spell he had used in response to Professor Snape's attack at the Dueling Club.

The scene suddenly changed in the auditorium, and Professor Lockhart disappeared into place.

The Aurors immediately stopped, looking around in disbelief.

They were pretty sure that Lockhart wasn't casting the Illusion Spell, after all, two Aurors had teamed up to cast the Counterspell before the battle began.

Hogwarts, on the other hand, has an anti-apparition charm, and the apparition of the wizarding system cannot be released here.

So, where did Lockhart go? Is it a new invisible spell?

"Plan Five, move closer to me!" Tyr Higgs immediately made the most correct judgment and asked everyone to rally in case they were broken by each one.

But as soon as his words fell, the whole person suddenly froze.

His neck twisted and twisted, reminding Harley of the poor ones who were being controlled by the Puppet Master.

The performance of the two can be said to be exactly the same.

"Captain, what's wrong with you?" One of the nearest Aurors shouted, and fired several protective spells at Higgs.

"Spread out, spread out!" Another Auror shouted, asking the surrounding students not to stay put.

Suddenly, Higgs stopped all his movements, then suddenly swelled and exploded, turning into a brilliant firework, a firework of flesh and blood.

His stumps and organs flew everywhere, and blood splattered everywhere.

Previously, Higgs had eaten at the Slytherin table, so he was now closest to the Slytherin students.

There were a few students who didn't seem to react at first, so they stayed where they were, like Malfoy.

Malfoy and his henchman Crabbe were splashed with blood, and the two of them were stunned for a moment, and then let out a terrible scream.

"Shut up, idiot!" Professor Snape's wand flicked far away, and the screams of the two men suddenly stopped, as if they had been stuffed back into their throats.

"All students immediately returned to their common rooms! Led by professors to ensure safety! Professor McGonagall shouted.

At the same time, Professor Lockhart appeared at the entrance of the auditorium again.

He lifted the hat on his head slightly, instead of bowing and exposing his neck as he did in the dueling club:

"The Aurors are so weak, they're rubbish! Wait a minute, I'm not targeting anyone, I'm just saying that all of you in this room, you're all rubbish. ”

With that, Professor Lockhart walked backwards out of the auditorium, leaving only one sentence: "Waste Aurors, come and arrest me if you have the ability!" ”

Almost all of the Aurors were so angry that they wanted to rush out.

But Shakel shouted: "Don't be reckless! The fourth team lacked a captain to command, so they stayed, two people in a team, to protect the students.

The extra squad patrols the castle with the professors to prevent the prisoners from quietly returning to the castle and killing the students!

Team 5 chased me out, always on my toes, and put on all the defensive and detection magic! ”

After a period of chaos, the number of people in the auditorium quickly dwindled, and in the end only Hallie remained.

She seemed to have been forgotten, and even Hermione hadn't noticed that Harley was still here.

Harley was wearing white gloves and had finished her meal. She was leisurely flipping through a book, as if the previous panic and the current dead silence had nothing to do with her.

"I didn't think you'd stay, Miss Harry Potter." A gentle voice suddenly sounded, accompanied by the sound of crisp footsteps.

Professor Lockhart walked in from the foyer.
