Harry of the Sherlock Holmes

Regarding Lockhart's publication of the book, Voldemort can be said to have thought of the beginning but not the end.Compared with playing with word skills, he is better at gaining followers through simple and direct methods such as force oppression and deterrence.For this reason, Draco was very puzzled, why did his father choose to support him in the first place?Lucius Malfoy avoided this question in his reply. He didn't tell his son that the Dark Lord also had a handsome appearance and inspiring language in addition to his great power. Crazy thoughts beneath the surface.Even now, there are still many people who are drowning in their pure dreams and refuse to come out. The real madman can't hear other people's opinions. Fortunately, the Malfoy family has withdrawn.

The soul fusion of Voldemort and Lockhart actually brought additional benefits. With a truly "experienced" famous wizard as a reliance, Hogwood's Defense Against the Dark Arts level has made a qualitative leap.They finally don't have to perform all kinds of funny dramas in class, and every student has benefited a lot from Voldemort's rich practical theoretical knowledge.

"Hermione said that only in terms of teaching, he can really be regarded as a respectable professor."

"Do you think so, Harry?" Dumbledore handed Harry a piece of lemon sherbet, with a trace of disappointment on his face, "Tom Riddle, I mean Voldemort, who applied for Defense Against the Dark Arts back then A professorship, but I turned him down in the end."

Harry couldn't help being taken aback by this information: "Hey, it's true that Voldemort applied for this job? Is he still there after his unsuccessful application?" He always thought it was just everyone trying to explain Defense Against the Dark Arts All kinds of "short-lived" and fabricated legends of the professor.

"It's true." Dumbledore nodded and sighed, "I know what you're curious about, but it's not really a formal curse, Tom just cursed angrily, and I have to say that he is indeed my curse." One of the most talented wizards I've ever seen." From time to time, he would think about his attitude towards the student Tom Riddle, if he had trusted him a little more and agreed to let him study at Hogwarts, Will everything be different?The teaching activities in the past few days have shown that he is really suitable to be a professor of the subject of Defense Against the Dark Arts (although the most ironic thing is that he is also a top black magic master).He then shook his head again, Tom's cruelty is that he never takes other people's lives and happiness in his eyes, which can be seen from his behavior in the orphanage and his attitude towards his classmates (he never regards them as friends , just using them as servants and tools. And his eagerness to become a Hogwarts professor is not because he likes it, but to a greater extent because he feels that being a professor can better win people's hearts.

"Professor Dumbledore," Harry roughly guessed what the old man was thinking, so he threw out the question in his heart, "You didn't take action against Lockhart, is it because we need a professor with real knowledge or because of As for the guilt towards Voldemort?" When the prison break and petrification incidents are in full swing in the school, it is not good to let a professor who shows his presence in various ways every day suddenly disappear, but Christmas is another matter.At that time, not many students stayed in the school, and it was extremely normal for professors to go out. It can be said that it was the best time to control Lockhart, and a suitable reason could be found to explain it afterwards.But Dumbledore never made a move, even after he confirmed the relationship between Lockhart and Voldemort, which really puzzled Harry-letting "Lockhart" stay in the school like this, there will be no What safety hazard?You know he has done a lot of things.

"Of course not." Dumbledore was dumbfounded by the boy's question, "I know you have great opinions on Lockhart's previous teaching, but no one thought that he would be a big talker when he was recruited. After all, his writing is still very good. But we don't have to ask him to be the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts. At the end of last semester, you all studied very well under the guidance of Severus." He He looked at Harry with a smile.

"Professor Dumbledore—" Harry successfully blushed because of the old man's teasing: Professor Snape is indeed knowledgeable and extremely responsible, but this does not mean that the students want him to come to class. (Even Harry, who is used to all kinds of venomous tongues, must say that such an awkward teaching method is not acceptable to everyone, or most people are terrified of it.)

"Okay, okay." Waving his hand to signal Harry not to be so excited, Dumbledore continued to explain, "If I were to go back to when Voldemort first entered school, my attitude would be different. But neither I will ignore the sins he has committed over the years and the danger he may have brought to you because of regret."

"Then what exactly do you mean? Why on earth—" Let him continue to move freely in the school?

"Young man, don't worry too much." Dumbledore winked at Harry, "We mentioned last time that the souls of Voldemort and Lockhart have merged."

"Yes." It was so obvious that Voldemort didn't even bother to hide it.

"The soul can be said to be the most complicated thing in the world. So far no one can say that he has studied it thoroughly. However, I believe that if Tom is not blinded by the fog of eternal life, he will not be able to think about it carefully." Will make the decision to split the soul. And now, in order to achieve his ideal of immortality, he keeps the soul in some objects. From Mr. Big Malfoy we know that one of them is a diary, and the one who controls Lockhart should be another."

"Did you find it?" Harry felt a burst of joy. For the horcrux that has already fused with Lockhart, the significance of finding it is not to eliminate hidden dangers, but that they can use the known information of the horcrux. Speculate on what the rest of the Horcruxes might be - one's habit of choosing items usually doesn't change much.

Dumbledore took out a jewel-encrusted, gleaming diadem, with Ravenclaw's famous motto engraved on the bottom edge of the crown - "great wisdom is the greatest wealth of human beings."

"This is - Ravenclaw's diadem?" Harry was sure he had seen the introduction of this diadem.

"Yes, this is the only relic of Rowena Ravenclaw, the founder of Ravenclaw College. It is said that she enchanted it to increase the wisdom of the wearer. But it has disappeared It's been a long time, don't know how Tom found it."

"But you still didn't explain why you didn't directly control Lockhart." Harry found that their topic was being misled by the headmaster.

"Those souls do have their own unique consciousness and act independently, which is another thing that Tom didn't think of." Dumbledore smiled, obviously feeling very subtle about the intrigue among the various soul pieces. "But there's still a connection between them."

Harry thought of the strange dream he had had - he didn't realize what was happening at the time, but now he thought it was the diary and the soul fragments in the diadem trying to eat each other, which indirectly affected him.He thought he knew who sent the mysterious note. Did Voldemort realize the existence of the soul piece on him and wanted to lure him there?Maybe... he can use this instead...

Dumbledore's words brought him back to his wandering thoughts: "So if we catch Lockhart rashly, others may be shocked."

"Peter or little Crouch..." At least one soul movie has influence in the school, if they are aware of Lockhart's inexplicable disappearance...Professor Dumbledore's choice is indeed the best way. "Then we can only monitor them?" With the help of various public opinion methods, Uncle Mike's plan to install monitors at Hogwarts has already made progress in the past few days: the magic power to ensure the normal operation of the monitors will be controlled by It is provided on a regular basis, and in order to protect people's privacy, under normal security circumstances, the call of the video must be approved by the person or guardian.However, it will take a long time for the entire system to cover schools.

Then he suddenly realized a problem-even if the crown is no longer the place where the soul piece lives, it is after all the place where it originally stayed. How did Professor Dumbledore not disturb "Lockhart" Did you get the crown?

Seeing Harry's eyes staring at the diadem, Dumbledore stuffed another piece of dessert into his mouth: "Tom never learned to look back at the things he discarded and cherished. I'm just very simple I found an opportunity to replace things."

"So simple?" Harry was dumbfounded.But he also knew that it would not be easy to create an identical replica that would not be noticed by Voldemort.

"I know your logical ability is very strong, but some things don't need to be overcomplicated." Dumbledore showed a playful smile, "And one thing Tom didn't find out is that due to the time that the soul exists in the diadem, It's too long, even if it can be said that he has a human body now, he is still affected by the crown." While talking, he knocked the precious relic of the Big Four with his hands.

"Could it be—" Harry suddenly remembered the inexplicable fall of "Lockhart" in the last class, and he only felt that he was affected by the original owner of his body.

Handing the diadem to the boy, Dumbledore said, "I don't think anyone is better at research than your father. Is he in the library now?"

"Yes." Harry replied.Father and Dad hoped to find more information about Horcruxes, but they have been soaking in the library and haven't come out.That's why he was the only one who came to the principal's office to talk to Dumbledore, "But after all, this is a relic that represents the glory of the Big Four..." Father must be very excited about this kind of research, but if he wants to put things away after his research is over Returned intact...basically nothing to hope for.

"Harry." Dumbledore pointed to his chest, looked at him cautiously and said, "The true glory of the Big Four has always been in our hearts." What this crown now represents is just Voldemort's twisted desire.
