Hogwarts Survival Sim

Chapter 34 The Disappearance of Lockhart

On the way back to the castle from Hagrid's hut, the atmosphere between the three Harrys was a bit awkward.

Hermione felt helpless, so she made a sharp note to someone in her notebook.

At the same time, she was worried that Harry would act impulsively and put herself in a dangerous situation.

It is obvious that her concerns are correct, pertinent and objective.

Harry really didn't want to just do nothing. Ethan was his first friend of the same age who came to the wizarding world.When he thought that he had been killed and his body was lying coldly on the hospital bed, sadness and anger filled his brain.

"I know I shouldn't say that," Harry whispered, noticing that Ron was hesitant to speak. "Hermione definitely has no less feelings for Ethan than we do. But I really want to do something for Ethan. Do something.”

"I understand, Harry." Ron nodded, "But what are you going to do?"

"The Chamber of Secrets." Harry revealed his plan. "According to Hermione, Tom Riddle is probably the real heir. After Dumbledore leaves, I guess the diary will still bewitch his possession." The one who returned to the secret room."

"We have to find a way to find the entrance to the secret room, and then tell the professors, maybe we will have a chance to catch him."

"Good idea!" Ron agreed, "But why doesn't Ethan do it? Then maybe he wouldn't..."

"I guess it's because Principal Dumbledore is still here," Harry smiled bitterly. "Now that Ethan has killed the basilisk, Riddle will naturally be worried about him telling the principal the location of the secret room, and he probably won't tell the principal the location of the secret room for a long time. Let’s go to the secret room again.”

"But now that the principal has left the school," Ron followed the train of thought, "he has no one to be afraid of."

At this point, the two looked at each other, and something suddenly occurred to them.

"We also have Professor Lockhart!" Harry said excitedly, "As long as we find the secret room, Professor Lockhart will definitely be able to catch that person!"

"Then there is only one question left. Where is the entrance to the secret room?"

…………

In the next few days, the relationship between Harry and Hermione finally returned to normal, but he had no intention of asking Hermione for help because he knew that Hermione would not help him.

He began to carefully recall every word that Ethan said, and he did not let go of any information about the secret room, but he still found nothing.

Ron, like Harry, looked exhausted every day. At this time, they had just finished lunch and were about to return to the dormitory.

"It would be nice if Ethan was still here," Ron held his head and watched a patrolling ghost drifting past him, "Even if it's just a ghost."

"Ghost?" Harry repeated subconsciously. He felt a flash of inspiration in his mind, as if he had caught something.

On the way back to his dormitory, he turned his mind desperately, trying to capture that moment of inspiration.Finally, in front of the dormitory door, Harry stopped.

"I understand!" he exclaimed excitedly, "I may know where the secret room is!"

"Keep your voice down, Harry." Ron looked around and found that no one was paying attention, then asked in a low voice, "What did you find?"

"Remember what Hermione said? 50 years ago, the Chamber of Secrets was opened and the Basilisk killed a student. But what if that student is still at Hogwarts now?"

"Still in school? How is that possible?"

"The people who seem to have left are actually still with us." Harry read quickly, "This is the tip the principal gave us. What things have clearly left, but are still with us?"

"You mean, ghost?" Ron also woke up, "Moaning Myrtle!"

"That's right, we've only seen one student ghost like this, haven't we?"

"That means the entrance to the secret room may be in Myrtle's bathroom."

"Yes, and I heard the sound of the basilisk twice, and I thought it was coming from the wall. I guess it must be the water pipe extending from the bathroom." Harry became more and more excited as he talked, "We Find Professor Lockhart and ask him to take us to find it."

"it is good!"

The two immediately turned around and ran to Professor Lockhart's office, and shortly after they left, the dormitory door was gently opened from the inside.

…………

This was not the first time that Harry and Ron came to Professor Lockhart's office. They knocked on the door, but no one answered.

"What should I do? The professor doesn't seem to be here." Ron pushed subconsciously, and the door opened directly.

The two looked at each other in surprise, then stepped inside.

"Professor Lockhart? Are you there?"

When they walked into the office, they were stunned by what they saw.

Not only was Professor Lockhart gone, but his belongings were also gone. There were only a few empty cupboards and a pair of clean tables and chairs left in the room. Even Lockhart's portrait had been removed from the wall. Go down.

Looking at the bare room in front of them, Harry and Ron realized something was wrong.

"Professor Lockhart...could he have run away?" Ron said with difficulty after a moment of silence.

"No, Professor Lockhart is not that kind of person." Harry shook his head resolutely, and then pointed to the front right. Only then did Ron realize that there was a box there, but it was blocked in the middle of the cabinet. It's hard to see.

"I think the professor must have put everything away for some reason." Harry said as he walked to the box.The box was unlocked, so he opened it easily.

However, the items inside were not Professor Lockhart's items as he imagined, but instead frightened him so much that he took several steps back.

"What's the matter, Harry?" Ron stepped forward, and then he also saw the contents of the box.

It was a robe stained with paint, and a few used brushes!

"How - how could this happen?" Harry felt that his brain had stopped thinking.What happened these days made him exhausted. First, his friend was killed, and then the division commander he admired most turned out to be the murderer.

"Calm down, Harry." Seeing Harry's doubtful look on life, Ron came to his senses first, "Professor Lockhart was just bewitched by the diary, and he was just a victim. The culprit was Malfoy. .”

"But Ethan was still killed by him, wasn't he?" Harry said hoarsely, "And isn't he a master of defense against the dark arts? How could he be controlled by a dark magic item?"

"It should be a very powerful black magic. A diary with its own thoughts. Even Professor Lockhart has been affected by it. But our top priority is to tell other professors about this matter. If it is too late, Lockhart may Just take the diary and run away!"

"You're right, Ron." Harry finally calmed down, "Now we not only have to avenge Ethan, but also rescue the professor."

"Then let's go quickly. Let's go find Professor McGonagall first."

However, they don't have this chance.

There was a sudden flash of red light in the room, and Harry and Ron fainted and fell to the ground.
