Chapter 138 Snake

"To be honest, I don't care. I was simply asked by Professor Snape to wait for him in the teachers' lounge. If it's not necessary, I hope you will pretend that I don't exist."

Draco raised his eyebrows, and Su Ziqiong read out the words he had explained in advance.

After that, he went straight around the two of them and sat on the bench in the corner.

Ron seemed irritated by Draco's tone, "Thank goodness for that." He turned his head away so as not to be upset when he saw Malfoy.

It was a large, paneled room filled with chairs of dark wood.Harry and Ron paced up and down inside, too excited to sit down, while Draco sat in a corner and stared blankly at himself.

However, the bell for the end of get out of class never rang.

Instead, Professor McGonagall's voice echoed in the hallway, amplified many times by magic.

"All students return to their dormitories immediately. All teachers return to the staff lounge. Please act immediately."

Harry turned sharply and stared at Ron.

"Did something happen again? At this time?"

"What do we do?" Ron asked in horror. "Go back to the dormitory?"

"No." Harry said, looking around.To his left is an ugly wardrobe full of teacher's cloaks. "Hide in here. We'll hear what's going on, and we'll tell them what we find."

Ron pointed at Draco and said, "As for him, I don't think Malfoy will help us cover up."

"You're right." Draco nodded in satisfaction.

"Honestly, Draco, don't you want to know what's going on, maybe you can get more information by eavesdropping on the teachers from here." Harry wanted to drag Draco into the boat.

Ron also reacted, "That's right, you know, every time you ask the professors about this kind of thing, they always don't tell the truth, and they are always afraid of causing panic. After all, it doesn't feel good not to know the truth, doesn't it ?”

Draco couldn't stand the bombardment of the two, he said impatiently: "Okay, okay, I can go in with you, but I have a condition, absolutely—absolutely don't involve me in any trouble!" Laco looked at Harry with burning eyes.

Seeing this, Harry could only bite the bullet and reply: "We can't be sure, but we won't implicate you, I promise!"

"Okay." Draco nodded in satisfaction.

Then they hid in the closet and listened to the footsteps of hundreds of people walking upstairs.Then, the door to the staff lounge was pushed open heavily.Through the layers of cloaks that exuded a musty smell, they looked at the teachers who walked into the room one by one. Some looked confused, and some were scared out of their wits.Then, Professor McGonagall arrived.

"Something happened again," she said to the silent teachers in the room. "A student was kidnapped by a monster. He was taken directly into the secret room."

Professor Flitwick let out a scream.Professor Sprout suddenly covered his mouth with his hands.Snape gripped the back of a chair tightly and asked, "How can you be sure?"

"The heir of Slytherin," said Professor McGonagall with a very pale face, "left another line. Just below the last paragraph, it read: Her bones will remain in the Chamber of Secrets forever."

Professor Flitwick couldn't help crying.

"Who is it?" Ms. Huo Qi's knees softened and she slumped on a chair. "Which student is it?"

"Ginny Weasley," said Professor McGonagall.

Harry felt Ron slump soundlessly to the wardrobe floor beside him.

"We must send all the students home tomorrow," said Professor McGonagall. "Hogwarts is over. Dumbledore used to say..."

The door to the staff lounge was slammed open again.Harry thought for a moment that Dumbledore must be back.It turned out to be Lockhart, with a grin on his face.

"Sorry - took a nap - what did I miss?"

He didn't seem to notice that the other teachers were staring at him with what could be described as hatred.Snape took a step forward.

"Here comes the solver," he said, "and this is it. Lockhart, a girl was taken by monsters. Led into the Chamber of Secrets. Your time has come at last to show your brilliance."

Lockhart's face turned pale.

"Yes, Gilderoy," interposed Professor Sprout, "didn't you say last night that you knew exactly where the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets was?"

"I - this, this, I -" Lockhart stammered.

"Didn't you tell me that you are sure you know what the monster is inside?" Professor Flitwick also interjected.

"Did I—did I say that? I don't remember..."

"Of course I remember what you said. You said it was a pity you didn't get to take on the monster before Hagrid was captured," Snape said. "Didn't you also say that the whole thing was messed up? Should I have let you handle it from the beginning?"

Lockhart stared dumbfounded at his stern-faced colleagues.

"I...I really never...you probably misunderstood..."

"Then, Gilderoy, we'll let you handle it," said Professor McGonagall. "Tonight is your chance to show your talents. We promise to let no one get in your way. You can do it alone." That monster. Now it's finally free for you to do it."

Lockhart looked around desperately, but no one came to his rescue.He was not at all handsome and handsome now.His lips were trembling, his face lost the usual smile with bright teeth, his chin was shrunken, and he looked thin and haggard.

"That--well," he said, "I--I'll go to my office and get--get ready."

After speaking, he left the room.

"That's it," said Professor McGonagall, her nostrils flaring and breathing heavily, "at last we are out of his way. Now, the Heads of Houses go and inform the students of what happened. Tell them that Hogwart The CET express train will take them home early tomorrow morning. Other teachers must ensure that no student is left outside the dormitory."

The teachers got up and left one by one.

When the teachers' common room was empty, Harry, Ron and Draco came out of the wardrobe.

Ron's face was very pale, and he was still muttering: "Ginny, Ginny." Harry couldn't feel good looking at Ron.

"This time I'll help you for free. Since the professor has already left, I'm leaving too." Draco waved his hand and was about to leave.

Ron stopped him abnormally. After hesitating for a moment, he blushed and said, "Malfoy, Ginny is my sister. She was taken to the Chamber of Secrets. I think I need your and Andre's help. You know, you have a good relationship with him!"
