“Harry, do you have any sense of it?”Dumbledore looked at Harry’s scar.

If Voldemort really appeared, there would be some sense between him and Harry.

“No.” Harry shook his head. His scar did not tingle.

Voldemort did not appear.

“Although I didn’t find any problems with Lockhart, I feel like he’s been acting a little weird lately.” Harry lowered his head and thought.

“How do you say that?” Dumbledore asked.

“I feel like I’m always listless, as if I haven’t gotten enough sleep, and I don’t seem to have the energy to do anything.” Harry said about Lockhart’s recent behavior..

“In the past, whenever something happened, he loved to be in the spotlight, like when Mrs. Norris did, but now that we find him, he has no intention of helping at all.” Harry pointed to the locked door.

“He wants us to leave quickly.”

“But I have checked every item, including the one on him, and found nothing wrong with it.”Dumbledore said gently,”Tom might have been able to deceive me when he was at his peak, but he cannot escape my detection in his current state.”

“Perhaps, he really has never seen the notebook.”

Harry suddenly slapped his thigh, and suddenly realized:”I know why he is so listless!”

“Why?” Dumbledore was stunned.

“You just saw that the girls’ underwear has been left in his office. How can he rest well at night? There are also a lot of love letters in the drawer. I’m afraid there are more than one person!” Harry narrowed his eyes, as if he had solved a mystery.

Seeing Harry’s serious look, Dumbledore was silent for a while and nodded, saying:”It is indeed a more serious problem. At first I thought he just talked to one or two people occasionally.”

If it weren’t for Voldemort’s incident now, Lockhart would have been interviewed long ago

“I’ll let Minerva talk to him about this. It’s really a bit too much.”

“It would be better to use this incident as an excuse to expel him from school.” Harry put forward his idea

“Harry, you should know that it is not easy to hire a professor for the Defense Against the Dark Arts class. It will be difficult for me to find a new professor in a short period of time. Dumbledore sighed and said

“Then let Professor Snape take over the class. He should be happy to do so. Harry added to Snape’s teaching pressure without any burden.

“I still doubt him very much. If he is expelled from school, he will not be able to carry out any subsequent actions.”Harry said

“I’ll think about it.” Dumbledore adjusted his glasses.

Inspection and expulsion are not the same thing.

“Have you ever thought about why Tom attacked the pure-bloods?”Harry frowned. Why was this old man so stubborn?

Without waiting for Dumbledore to answer, Harry continued,”It was to make a big fuss and expel you from school. Once you are expelled from school, what happened 50 years ago will happen again. The Ministry of Magic will quickly find a scapegoat and then close the case.””

“Maybe Hagrid is really going to Azkaban this time.”Harry said through gritted teeth.

Dumbledore’s expression was serious, but he did not express his opinion immediately. Instead, he said,”Let’s check the remaining professors and staff first.”

Harry nodded helplessly.

Everything was normal with Snape, Filch and Hagrid.

Snape sneered at the two people’s inspection.

The inspection did not produce any results. Harry and Dumbledore said separately:”You can definitely consider my suggestion.”

The next day, there was no class. The school notified the students to stay in the lounge as much as possible.

Percy told Harry that the Minister of Magic had already found Principal Dumbledore to talk.

Harry said it was normal. If the Minister of Magic did not take any action, his approval rating might be frighteningly low the next day.

Until the evening, a silver-white cat came to Harry’s bedroom with light and agile steps and walked in front of him.

Harry had not yet gone to the Forbidden Forest and looked at the cat.

“Harry, Albus wants you to go to his office. The password is”Cockroach String”. Be careful on the way.” After that, the cat turned into a puff of white mist and disappeared.

It was Professor McGonagall’s patronus who came to convey the message.

Ron whispered,”Why are you going to the headmaster’s office at this time? There was an attack yesterday!”

“Maybe there is some news.” Harry put on the invisible cloak,”Help me cover!”

“”Okay, go ahead.” Ron nodded.

He was quite skilled at this job.

Harry nodded at him, put on his invisibility cloak, and disappeared completely.

In the headmaster’s office, Harry took off his invisibility cloak. In addition to Dumbledore and McGonagall, there was also Snape.

“Harry, you are finally here.” Dumbledore waved at Harry who suddenly showed up and said

“Found a clue?” Harry said bluntly.

“Ha, under the pressure of the Ministry of Magic, our headmaster finally made up his mind.”Snape sneered.

Harry heard Snape’s words and looked at Dumbledore.

He adjusted his half-moon glasses and said calmly:”It is most likely Lockhart.”

“Didn’t we check him thoroughly last time?” Harry asked, frowning.

“Fudge talked to me this morning and complained to me that the Ministry of Magic is under great pressure now. I bought a day and just arrived at Lockhart’s office. I used some not-so-glorious tricks…….”

….. 0

“Checked his soul, his soul was tainted”

“Dark magic?” Harry raised his eyebrows and said

“It’s the Dark Arts. You know, Dark Arts have unique aspects in terms of the soul.” Dumbledore nodded.

Harry didn’t mind what kind of magic Dumbledore used. If a wizard standing at the top said that he didn’t know the Dark Arts, no one would believe it.

“However, he is known as the Dark Lord. Your level of dark magic is……”This is what Harry was worried about.

But Snape sneered:”Potter, you don’t have to be so naive to think that Dumbledore’s dark magic is weaker than his, right?”

Dumbledore waved his hand and said,”Thank you for your trust, Severus, but I have to admit that Tom is better than me in studying dark magic. At least I still haven’t fully figured out the methods he left behind.”

“Maybe if I give you a little more time, you will understand, but there is no time now!”Dumbledore looked at the three people calmly.

“I have to go to the Ministry of Magic in person to explain. After I leave, the Ministry of Magic will send Aurors to guard Hogwarts, led by Kingsley. You can trust him. Of course, you can also completely trust the two professors.”

The three nodded silently.

Harry couldn’t help but sigh. After a semester, he had to fight Voldemort by himself in the end.

Is this the so-called prophecy? Is it his fate to have trouble with Voldemort?
