Hogwarts pet owl

The purpose of the small diary is clear, but who holds the diary?

No need to think about it?

Gilderoy Lockhart!

Errol and the Twins were attacked for the first time in Hogsmeade, and they met Lockhart in the Hog's Head pub;

The second time Errol was attacked outside the castle, it was the castle Lockhart returned to with her;

In this third attack, Lockhart appeared at the scene "quite coincidentally" and received a hit from the Divine Blade——

Errol was very sure that Lockhart's cruel trick was nothing more than an attempt to elicit the counter-curse of the Shadowless Blade! After all, the basilisk was severely injured by himself and Snape's Divine Edge. If left unchecked, the basilisk might bleed to death!

The clues came together bit by bit to piece together the true story of the matter——

Lockhart suddenly went to the Hog's Head Bar every day, not to drink, but to communicate with the diary - there were too many informants in Hogwarts, and an old man like Lockhart would not dare to ask the young Voldemort for advice openly;

Lockhart went to the library to read books on magic circles in order to crack the alarm array set up by Dumbledore in the castle. Today, the basilisk attacked him. Dumbledore didn't know about it in advance, which explains the problem!

In addition, his reputation suddenly improved during the Defense Against the Dark Arts class. Who else got the diary but this greasy idiot?

After figuring everything out, Errol suddenly felt like he had moved from the bright side to the dark side, while Lockhart, who was in the dark side, had walked to the bright side.

Lockhart himself was no threat, even if he was mentored by Tom Riddle - how strong could a sixteen-year-old Tom be?

And Lockhart will probably become Riddle's food and eventually be sucked out of his life force!

So what Errol should do now is to solve the real trouble - the basilisk.

……

……

"Gilderoy Lockhart:

I once made a diary when I was sixteen years old,

The diary was once kept by Lucius Malfoy, but the idiot lost it.

Now, I am absolutely sure that the diary is in your hands.

So I hope to see you at the Screaming Shack before midnight today.

If you don't give me an explanation, you know the consequences. "

Errol has already forged this kind of clueless letter once, and this time she is even more skillful. The words written in the mage's hand are almost exactly the same as Tom Riddle's handwriting in the diary.

Errol had every confidence that Lockhart wouldn't see the difference - even though he was a wordsmith. (As much as I hate to admit it, the author actually has the same profession as Lockhart...)

Errol took off her scarf, waistcoat, and loose items, then took the letter in her mouth and delivered it to Lockhart's window.

Gilderoy Lockhart, an internationally renowned figure and author, a recipient of the Order of Merlin 3rd Class, an honorary member of the Alliance Against Dark Arts, and a five-time winner of Wizarding Weekly's Most Charming Smile Award,

Almost scared to death.

How could he not know that Tom Riddle was Voldemort?

After throwing down the letter, Lockhart hurriedly grabbed his coat and ran out, forgetting to close the window and shoo away the owl that "delivered the letter".

Errol was very sure that Lockhart didn't have anything on him. You can understand the sharpness of the eagle's eyes - even if it is an old owl without glasses, she just can't judge the distance, not blind.

Then Tom Riddle's diary is just as Errol reasoned, Lockhart did not put it in the castle.

The room was filled with a faint white fresh smell.

You can say that Lockhart was accidentally injured by Shen Feng Wuying and treated himself.

But for the opening on his hand, which was less than five centimeters, did he need to use such a large amount of fresh food?

"Oh!"

The door was pushed open and Lockhart turned back.

He immediately saw Errol who was still standing on the edge of the window, so he threw a handful of nuts to Errol.

"Eat quickly and leave!"

Lockhart hurriedly walked to one of his "treasures",

This is a large voodoo doll made of linen, straw, and other unspeakable materials. I don’t know where he got it from.

The voodoo doll is half a meter tall and has various bags and charms hanging on it.

Lockhart pulled a small bag off the doll, put it in his pocket and turned around -

Errol stared closely at the small bag. There was no doubt that it was the bag that Dumbledore had stolen, the bag that had been cast the Invisible Stretching Charm.

The thing inside is naturally a basilisk.

Why did Lockhart bring it with him?

To embolden yourself?

Stupid!

What's the point of bringing a basilisk if it's the real Voldemort who summons him?

As a descendant of Slytherin, Voldemort is the master of the Basilisk!

Errol pretended to lower her head and peck at the nuts until the sound of Lockhart's footsteps disappeared outside.

Errol looked out the window and said "Bah, bah" twice.

[You have already made so much money, but you still feed the owl such expired and low-quality nuts. Lockhart, you should be a human being! 】

Falling into the room, Errol waddled to the position behind the door, her feathers trembling——

[Phantom Body Curse]!

Hehe, as the sixth child, Ron is not as good as me!

It is small in size and is hidden in the blind spot behind the door. It is also cast with the Disillusionment Curse. Lockhart is sure to be attacked by a sneak attack!

What? Why didn't you just attack directly?

What's going on?

A few hours ago, Errol had just overdrawn her magic power, and Lockhart had received guidance from Tom Riddle, so now he was at the level of a fifth or sixth grader, right?

A frontal attack, if it doesn't succeed, Errol will be in trouble!

……

Three and a half hours later.

The door was pushed open again, and Lockhart walked in angrily.

"Who is it? Who entertains me?"

He was furious,

"But who did it? How did he know about the diary?"

Lockhart walked directly to the desk and placed the bag containing the basilisk on the table.

He looked out the window,

"No, since that person knows my secret, there is no guarantee that he won't expose it. I have to leave Hogwarts as soon as possible! The crime of colluding with the mysterious man is enough for me to spend the rest of my life in Azkaban!"

"Yes, as long as I leave Hogwarts, as long as I leave Hogwarts! There will be no evidence to convict me then, and I will still be the recipient of the third-level Order of Merlin, the highly respected Order of Merlin!"

Lockhart, who was talking to himself, did not notice that an owl gradually appeared behind him.

【Stupefy! Fainted! 】

Lockhart fell asleep, sleeping better than a baby.

Errol flew up to the desk, gently opened the mouth of the small bag with her beak, and vaguely saw a small earthworm inside.

She tightened the bag tightly with satisfaction, held the bag in her mouth, and flew out of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor's office.

Let's take our time, first control the basilisk in our hands, and then find the small diary. It would be a good idea to threaten the small diary with the basilisk's fangs. By then, Errol can gain access to the strong vitality of the basilisk!

Things are gradually back under her control again!

Tell the professor?

If she told the professor, how could she use life transfer on the basilisk? That is truly evil black magic!

……

……

Half an hour later, Lockhart, who should have remained unconscious, opened his eyes.

He got up and shook his head vigorously.

"Stupid guy, trying to escape!"

He said to himself,

"Fortunately, I made preparations in advance!"

I saw the man walking to the window and pointing his hand in the direction of Hogsmeade.

"The diary is coming!"

A few seconds later, the black-covered diary swirled and fell into his hand.

From now on, he is the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

Reported? He wasn't afraid at all. The opponent's target was obviously the basilisk.

If the other party is a teacher or student at Hogwarts, then if he reports on himself, it means that he will risk being turned against him - hiding a basilisk secretly is also a serious crime!

But he is more inclined to another possibility. The person who did these things is a dark wizard, a dark wizard who has a strong interest in basilisks——

After all, Lockhart, this idiot, didn't avoid people at all when communicating with him in the Pig's Head Bar! !

Errol Weasley,

You wait! When I am fully resurrected, I will definitely make you look good!

Damn owl!

I accept your soul!
