Hogwarts Wizard of the Deep

Chapter 153 Mad Believers

Forgery, scheming, detectives, solving crimes...

In the end, the omnipotent Lockhart cracked the secret of the Chamber of Secrets and resolved the huge crisis in Hogwarts...

Linde closed the manuscript and casually threw it on the table.Then he leaned back in the chair and let out a long sigh of relief.

"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it..."

The things recorded in this manuscript are very simple, so simple that Andersen's butt can be understood.But without reading this manuscript, it is indeed difficult for Linde to connect these two things.

Gilderoy Lockhart directed and acted in all the so-called secret room wounding incidents that occurred recently.

According to the records in the manuscript, in a communication with Quirrell, Lockhart learned about the ancient Hogwarts "chamber of secrets" legend.

At that time, Lockhart's reputation at Hogwarts was severely damaged, and the British wizarding world was not big, and Lockhart was a well-known star on the streets.

So after he knew the legend of the "chamber of secrets", Lockhart decided that his star life could be maintained after he ended his teaching.He decided to do something big.

He first obtained an invisibility cloak through channels.Of course, it's definitely not the invisibility cloak of Harry's Deathly Hallows.

Linde estimated that the invisibility cloak should be woven from the hair of invisible beasts rated 4x by the Ministry of Magic.

This creature, Linde also knew, was a gentle, quiet herbivore, with the appearance of an elegant ape-man, with big round eyes often buried in his hair.

Their bodies are covered with silky, silvery fur that has magical powers that make them invisible.The conventional invisibility cloak is made of the fur of invisible beasts.

However, over time, invisibility cloaks woven from invisible animal hair will eventually lose their effectiveness and become opaque.

Linde recalled what Jane had told him about the ghosts in the recent Hogwarts tales.And one night after Linde came back from the Christmas vacation, he did see a white shadow flashing past outside the Room of Requirement.

I guess it was Lockhart.

In addition to these, in recent days, many things that happened in Hogwarts are related to Lockhart, or he wore the invisibility cloak to create it.

All kinds of things that have scared the whole castle recently, except for the unpleasant sound of the piano in the corridor on the eighth floor, which was caused by Linde, other sleepwalking incidents, the murder of monks, secret rooms, and ghosts are all led by Lockhart alone. of.

What Lockhart has to do is to make the whole of Hogwarts shrouded in fear of the Chamber of Secrets.

Then he planned that one day in the future, a magic soldier would suddenly descend from the sky, and he would solve the secret of the secret room by himself, and then protect the teachers and students of the whole school.

Finally, in his vision: Lockhart with a happy face will walk to the center of the auditorium under the eyes of teachers and students in the school who are grateful and adoring,
He would bow to the surroundings first, and then start talking about how he solved the Chamber of Secrets incident.

He would describe himself as trying to make the enemies in the dark less vigilant, so he pretended to be ugly on purpose, humiliating himself in front of the students, and making everyone think he was a pompous trash.

He even deliberately "misunderstood" Harry, everything was so that he could catch the real culprit behind the scenes...

"You really directed and acted in a big show, Lockhart!" Linde murmured softly.

From the beginning, it was just to take people out of the lounge, then erase the memory and fake "sleepwalking".

Go to the back and kill the blind monk in the painting.

Later, he pushed Qiu Zhang down the stairs and broke her leg. Although Lockhart's methods became more and more brutal along the way, they were still within Linde's acceptance range.

First of all, Cho Chang had nothing to do with him, and second, he did far more harm to Flint than this.

But in the end Luna was cut open.

This is a bit unacceptable to Linde.

It is worth mentioning that when Lockhart met Flint, he actually thought that Flint fell by himself, and then he thought he could pick up a ready-made one, and erased Flint's memory along the way.

Looking at the pottery statue on the table, Linde's eyes changed for a while, but he still decided to take it with him.

Climbed out of the suitcase, looked through the bottom of the bed, and now they have not returned to the dormitory.

Linde climbed out along the way, sorted out the ashes on his body, then walked out of the dormitory, and came to the common room below through the spiral staircase.

It was unbelievable, even though it was almost eleven o'clock, the whole lounge was still full of people. Linde saw Harry and the others at a glance. At this time, they were gathering in the small corner where Linde usually stayed, and Jane's position was even more unmoved.

Linde walked over, pulled out a chair and sat down, asking, "What happened? Why are they still human now? What are they discussing?"

"Well, everyone thinks that the person in charge of the secret room did what happened in Lockhart's office." Jane smiled and looked at Linde with ulterior motives.

Linde waved his hand, "It's just a farce, it's almost over."

"It's almost over?" Hermione asked suspiciously.

"It should be! This matter must have made Professor Dumbledore very angry now. When Professor Dumbledore is angry, that guy naturally has nowhere to hide." Linde smiled, saying that this was just his own guess.

"So it's just a guess, it's not interesting." Jane tilted her mouth, and the interest she just mentioned suddenly disappeared, "Anyway, you don't go out these days."

She had forgotten that this was the first time Linde had been reminded like this.

Linde nodded.

Now Lockhart must be wandering around like a lunatic outside, and he didn't plan to go out for a night tour until he came up with a suitable solution to this matter.

He didn't intend to tell Dumbledore directly about this matter, although Linde asked himself that his behavior was not wrong, but it was only relative to himself.

Dumbledore is too decent, so he may not be able to accept Linde's approach.

Jane stood up, and looked at Linde in disbelief, "My God, I didn't expect you to agree, this is the first time!"

Linde sneered, but said nothing.

At this moment, the door of the lounge was opened.

Linde turned his head and looked over, only to see Lockhart jumping out with a standard smile showing eight teeth in bright clothes.

"Children! Look, I knew you weren't asleep." Lockhart laughed happily.

Hermione stood up at once, and looked at Professor Lockhart who suddenly came in in surprise, "Oh, why is the professor here?"

Lockhart stood at the door, enjoying the surprised gazes around him, and continued on his own, "Oh, it's exactly as I expected."

As Lockhart said, he quietly took steps forward, but he seemed to have no direction.

"I think I must be the center of your conversation again tonight. Oh, you're all worried about me, I understand!" Lockhart laughed, continuing to walk around the lounge.

"But it's too bad for you to stay up so late. I think it's necessary for me to tell you that I'm fine." Walking, Lockhart suddenly glanced indifferently at the corner where Linde and his party were. .

Linde had already retreated to the corner, but he could be sure that Lockhart was looking at him.

His smile twitched unintentionally, and it was obvious that he had changed from a formulaic smile to a heartfelt smile.

Linde's expression suddenly became serious, and Lockhart was obviously eyeing him.

It's crazy, he can't check from one lounge to another!

However, after thinking about it for a while, Linde was also relieved.

He didn't show his feet, but he did underestimate the importance Lockhart attached to the manuscript.

Indeed, if that manuscript ever comes to light.His future, his dreams, would all come to naught, maybe even a trip to Azkaban.

Although I don't know how Lockhart found himself, but this is the end of the matter...

"If anything goes wrong in a while, go to Dumbledore immediately." Linde whispered to the surroundings when he saw his gaze.

"What's wrong?" Harry asked a little confused.

"What happened?" Jane asked solemnly.

Linde didn't answer him. At this time, Lockhart was looking at this side inadvertently, and then put his arm around Wood's shoulder and said, "I'm fine! Children."

Beneath the sleeves he had wrapped around Wood, a stick could clearly be seen pointed at Wood's throat.

"Crazy!" Linde clicked his tongue lightly.

The pottery statue of the evil god is indeed a good match for a lunatic like you.

"What are you talking about, don't scare me." Jane grabbed Linde's wrist.

"He couldn't help it anymore, I can smell the 'smell' of morbid fanaticism on his body." Linde patted the back of Jane's hand and continued.

"Oh, that's right. Student Augustus, haven't you slept yet? That's really great. I don't know where the things you kept in my confinement before have gone." Lockhart let go of Wood's Shoulders, like Linde who just saw the corner.

"Can you please come and check with me? Because of the problem in the office, if you don't pick it up, it will be treated as garbage tonight." Lockhart walked towards him with a smile.What can be noticed is that the wand hidden in his sleeve seems to be pointed at someone intentionally or unintentionally.

"Professor, let's forget it! I'll treat it as a gift for you!" Linde waved his hand and said loudly.

"Linde, it's all right. Professor Lockhart is here..." Hermione whispered, she thought it was too rude for Linde to speak to the professor like this.And with Professor Lockhart around, he didn't need to worry about whether it was dangerous to go out now.

He felt that Linde was worried that it was too late and it would be dangerous to go out.

"But that's Professor Lockhart!" thought Hermione.

"Shut up!" Jane whispered. "Look at Lockhart's expression now."

Only then did a few people start to look at Lockhart carefully. At this time, his eyes were round and round, staring at Linde motionlessly, without blinking.The corners of the mouth seemed to be grinning to the ears, and all the white teeth were exposed.

At first glance, there was nothing wrong with this expression. Just like them just now, they didn't find it strange that Lockhart made such an expression at all.

But when they took a closer look, they felt that Lockhart's smile was permeating for no reason.

Fine beads of sweat had already started to break out on Harry's back. To be honest, he was a little scared now, but he didn't know why.

Afraid of that smile?

As much as he hated to admit it, it was true, and when Jane reminded them to look at Lockhart's expression, his smile was no longer normal.

Harry wished that Lockhart had the same fart smile that made one want to be punched involuntarily.

He wanted to yell loudly to draw their attention to Lockhart's strange behavior, but his throat seemed to be stuck and he couldn't breathe out.

However, Harry, Hermione, Ron and the others are also the same.

Ron even started to tremble a little, he couldn't help but think of the smiling dead man.

Ron thought of something he had heard before. A man had a tickle curse, and no one could break the curse for him, so he died laughing.

That's when the person will die.

The more he thought about it, the more Ron felt that Lockhart was terrifying.

Among the five of them who faced Lockhart's smile, apart from Linde, only Jane, who was fearless, had to calm down in this situation.

"Oh, stop it. Be right back, okay?" Lockhart walked over, his back turned to most of the lounge.

It's hard to imagine that a person with a ferocious smile with the corners of his mouth opened to the maximum still has to force his teeth to speak, which made his saliva drop from the side, and then he wiped it belatedly.

"I told you, he couldn't help it!" Linde smiled wryly.Then stood up.

"Professor, it's too late! Forget it." Jane stood up at once.Want to stop Lockhart's behavior again.

After hearing Jane's words, Lockhart froze for a moment, opened his mouth, but only made a ho-ho sound.

At the same time, his arm was slowly raised.

Linde pressed Jane once,

"Professor, can you wait for me to put on a robe?" Linde said loudly. "It's still a little cold to go out like this!" After speaking, he turned his head to Jane and the others.

"He is impatient. You don't think he is a fanatical evil heretic now." Linde said in a low voice,
Even though Lockhart was already closer to Linde, he could no longer hear what Linde and the others whispered.

Because at this moment, after the embarrassing period of Lockhart's sudden visit in the lounge, everyone started talking to each other again, and obviously no one took him seriously.

"Like! Very similar!"

Several people unanimously affirmed Linde's statement, even Hermione was no exception.But they haven't spoken yet.

"Stop joking now, okay?" Ron looked at Linde worriedly. "Don't go, we are all here! Could it be that he can still force you to go?"

Harry and Hermione nodded too.

Linde looked at them and shook his head helplessly.yes!He is now forcing me to.

Lind glanced again at the wand under his sleeve.

Use you to force me.

This matter was caused by Linde. If he didn't go, Lockhart would ask other little wizards in Gryffindor to pay for him. He still couldn't do such a behavior.

"Harry, can you give me your robe?" Linde said loudly.

Harry was a little reluctant, but he didn't want Linde to grab his robe as soon as he came up to him.

"Give it to me!" Linde said loudly, and then quickly lowered his voice, "He is the first person you met..."

Under Harry's bewildered eyes, Linde took off Harry's robe, and then began to put it on himself.

"First, I'm not joking, he is really a fanatic of a different god now

second……"

Linde glanced at Lockhart's feet, and now he was stepping on a black-purple feather, which Linde had just noticed.

Andersen is not a normal bird. His normal feathers will naturally dissolve into a pool of water.

So the hair sticking to Lockhart's feet now is not the normal shedding hair.

"Did you use him to determine me!" Linde put on his robe with a dark face, under Lockhart's impatient eyes.

"Second, I'm just going to pick up a friend of mine."

Linde finally put on his robe slowly.

"Come on, Professor."
