Hogwarts: When the live Q&A goes live

Chapter 91 you chase me chase
It was Harry, not Hermione, who was finally convinced.

It's also very explainable.

After the two reached a consensus, they walked towards the underground passage one after the other.

Not knowing what might be down the tunnel, Hermione threw a powerful version of the Illumination Charm down the tunnel at first.

The light gathered by the Illumination Charm formed a round, bead-like object.

It is this small bead that emits a very powerful light.

Hermione threw it down, watched it disappear out of sight of herself and the others, and then heard a bang, knowing that the bead had reached its destination.

But there was still nothing at the end of her line of sight, and she knew that the length of this passage was beyond her and Harry's imagination.

Cast a spell on himself and Harry with his wand, then looked up at Harry.

"are you ready?"

Harry nodded.

"I have long been ready!"

Hermione looked down at the passage in front of her when she heard this, and then looked up at Harry, who was also looking at her.

The two took a deep breath, jumped down suddenly, accompanied by a loud "ah", and finally landed at the end of the underground passage.

In the mind of Tom who was still running here, some memory fragments flashed away.

He accelerated his speed regardless.

Now that the curfew is approaching, many students have basically returned to their common room, and went back to their beds to lie down and sleep. This is undoubtedly very convenient for Tom, who is speeding up.

Originally, he wanted to stay at Hogwarts for a few more months.

After the energy of Dumbledore and these professors begins to decline, find another opportunity to resurrect and leave here.

Instead of leaving Hogwarts hastily after more than a week, the most important point is that he has found a like-minded little wizard.

Even though he is still very young, the friends on the road are in no particular order. Tom has already clearly felt the day when he will stand with him in the future.

Besides, what he was most curious about was undoubtedly Harry Potter.

While this unexpected incident made him both surprised and annoyed, it also increased his curiosity about Harry.

What made him discover his hiding place so coincidentally?
It was just so good to have the key to the secret room.

Tom had some guesses in his mind.

After all, before he was resurrected, no matter how complete his soul was, it belonged to one of that person's Horcruxes.

Only after he is completely resurrected, the complete soul can let him get rid of the influence and connection of that person to him to a great extent, and only then can he appear as a real individual.

Only then will he be Tom Gunter, not Tom Riddle!
So, Tom had some guesses in his mind.

Will there be any connection between Harry Potter and him?
No, it should be said that there is some special connection with Voldemort.

Otherwise, would there be such a coincidence in the world that he would meet it by such a coincidence?
The speed under his feet increased a little more, and soon he would be able to go to the girls' bathroom at the end of the third floor.

Such a quick Tom naturally attracted some people's attention.

It was Lockhart's turn to be on duty this evening, and when he passed the fourth floor, he heard a burst of violent footsteps.

Why use the adjective violent?
It was entirely because the sound of uncovered footsteps was too loud.

At that moment, Lockhart felt a sense of vigilance in his heart, and prepared to chase after the sound.

"Professor Lockhart, Professor Lockhart!"

When Lockhart abandoned Filch and rushed towards the direction of the footsteps with all his strength, Filch followed behind him and shouted loudly.

It's a pity that Lockhart, who wanted to catch up with the footsteps, turned a deaf ear to Filch's shouts from behind.

He didn't want to stop and wait for Filch, and he didn't think Filch would be of much help when he was dealing with Voldemort, if he was right.

I'm afraid it wasn't taken away by Voldemort's Avada Kedavra on the spot.

Even Lockhart himself has a deep taboo against Voldemort.

If he didn't know that Voldemort hadn't been resurrected, if he really met Voldemort, then at most he would have to deal with a little wizard, if not, he wouldn't have chased him.

Inform Dumbledore, and then inform the rest of the professors.

Wouldn't it be better for everyone to shoulder shoulders together?

Compared with fighting alone, it is safer to fight Voldemort in groups.

Besides, in the face of people like Voldemort, what kind of morals do you have to talk about?

Having said that, if Voldemort is not resurrected, Lockhart still has the idea of ​​taking advantage of it.

At that time, relying on his prestige of defeating Voldemort, coupled with some small publicity methods, his reputation in the wizarding world may be able to rise to a higher level.

Not to mention being comparable to Professor Dumbledore, at least surpassing the current Minister of Magic Fudge is more than a mistake.

Maybe in a few years, he will be able to sit in that seat for a while.

It was because of many thoughts that Lockhart didn't intend to let Filch go with him when he went after Tom again.

When facing that person, he didn't have the full guarantee to guarantee the safety of himself and others.

Although he was not a good person, he would not see a person dying in front of him.

Lockhart, who had many considerations, finally let reason suppress the greed in his heart, and the pursuit of fame was ultimately nothing compared to the desire to protect the hearts of those students.

This months-long teaching career can be said to be a rare and relaxing period in Lockhart's life.

This time, he didn't let his greed shake his heart.

While catching up, he had already waved his wand and cast several spells to notify the rest of the professors.

Lockhart's eyes were very clear at this moment.

I have done bad things for half my life, and I have been a selfish person for half my life, but at this moment I choose to pay for others.

Maybe this castle has a kind of magic, or maybe it was Dumbledore's forgiving eyes at that time?
In other words, he was not willing to spend a period of time teaching and educating people at Hogwarts, and he was not willing to listen to the students he taught in Hogwarts.

It must be both, so this time, Lockhart must have been a good guy!

He laughed at himself in his heart, and the pace of catching up was a little faster.

Maybe things are not as bad as I thought.

Everything has to wait for the person in front of him to know.

But Lockhart had a hunch, and his guess was probably right.
