[HP] Subversion - Destined

Chapter 24 The Beginning of Improving Strength

"This... who is playing a prank?!" Professor McGonagall stared at the wall in disbelief, and then swept us sternly, "Mr. Potter, Mr. Weasley, Miss Weasley, are you Can't you give a reasonable explanation?!"

"Oh, Professor McGonagall, this cat was only petrified... That murderer is really bad! Of course, it couldn't be Harry and the others. To this level." Lockhart put his arm around my shoulder, as if to give me courage.Ron on the side had long forgotten that he was cursing the vase a few hours ago, and nodded vigorously as Lockhart said.

"But we don't know how it was petrified..." Dumbledore squinted his eyes and looked carefully at the writing on the wall, "We will cure it. As far as I know, Mrs. Sprout cultivated a very healthy magic apple "The chubby Professor Sprout nodded behind him, "When they mature, they will be able to create an antidote..."

"If your memory hasn't been chewed up by the ghoul," Snape said coldly, even disdainfully looking at him, "you should understand that I am the Potions professor in this school."

Lockhart's smile froze, and Dumbledore continued: "It's a pity that the magic apple is not yet mature... It seems that the administrators of our college will be sad for a while... During this period, I suggest not to tell other students, fear is only It will intensify the power of evil. Professors, pay more attention to the situation of the students, and you'd better act cautiously. Remember, don't swim at night, children, even if you have an invisibility cloak." His eyes paused on me specially - Dizzy!I'm not a lion without a brain!I bared my teeth at him, and Professor McGonagall gave me a glare, "Well, Mrs Sprout, please take Mr and Miss Weasley back to their common room first, and then inform poor Filch... …Harry, we need to talk."

Ron and Ginny fixed their worried eyes on me, and followed Professor Sprout.A group of us came to the office contributed by Lockhart.

"Come on, Harry, eat some chocolate frogs, it can help you regain your strength." Lockhart handed me an unopened bag of chocolate frogs. The chocolate stuffed into my mouth should be the chocolate from the Muggle world - the taste is exactly the same as the one sent by my husband, and there is a lettering on the book that I didn't see clearly... I lowered my head and opened the package blankly, Press and hold the chocolate frog that just wants to jump up, and pull out the wizard card below - Dumbledore in it is blinking happily at me, which makes people can't help but smile.

Without waiting for them to ask questions, I repeated the voice I heard, and took the initiative. It is better not to let them know about the diary for now.

"So Harry, have you ever encountered a similar situation before? For example, a sound that you can hear but others can't?" Dumbledore threw a strangely colored candy into his mouth.

I thought about it and said, "No, Professor Dumbledore. I didn't have any friends before. The Dursleys don't say anything except to order me to do things or to warn or threaten me. But I know my hearing is normal—" ——Not crazy, only Muggle people with mental problems can hear voices that others can't hear... If I let my aunt know, I will definitely be thrown into a mental hospital." I ravaged the chocolate frog with my eyes down, Sne Pu still had no expression on his face. Although Professor McGonagall was serious, he showed a faint look of worry and pity. I couldn't see Lockhart's reaction, but he patted me on the shoulder.

"This is the talent that Merlin gave you, Harry. Talent is neither good nor bad, it depends on how we use it." Dumbledore's smile can bring a sense of reassurance, "If you can use this voice to find the victim , or predict the murderer's actions in advance, it is possible to prevent the situation from deteriorating..."

"Albus! You mean to let him—a kid who just turned twelve years old—keep the safety of Hogwarts?! Are your brains bursting with sweets?!" Snape snapped violently. Cut him off.

"Don't get excited, Severus, you know I won't do this, it's everyone's responsibility to protect Hogwarts—the most I can do is let Harry assist the professors to watch the night," Seeing Professor McGonagall thinking nervously What to say, Dumbledore raised his hand to make them calm down, "But Harry doesn't even have the strength to protect himself at the moment, so I plan to arrange some courses for him alone. This will be good for him, after all..." He didn't finish, just looked at me with a little encouragement.

"I know, professor, whether it's the mysterious creature now, or the trouble that elf gave me, or even the future confrontation with Voldemort - I also hope to improve my strength as soon as possible. Relying on other people's help and protection, I don't like to see someone in danger to protect me - at that time, I can only watch and do nothing." I tried to open my eyes bravely to meet Snape's fierce gaze ——Damn it, I hate being in debt to others!

"Snap" Snape actually broke the armrest of the chair abruptly, I couldn't help shaking, forget it, I won't provoke you this time... I turned my eyes back to Dumbledore depressedly, seeing his face Smiling like a chrysanthemum, he was even more depressed: "But professor, how should I explain to everyone that I will often disappear?"

"Don't worry about this, I will arrange it. The most important thing now is to find a professor to teach you..." Dumbledore pushed his glasses.

"I'll come! I'll teach Harry!" Lockhart said enthusiastically, "Headmaster, you know, I have been to many places and fought many magical creatures, I have enough experience..." He was boasting there, Dumbledore glanced at Snape, who ignored him without squinting.

Dumbledore was silent for 3 minutes in Lockhart's voice: "Okay then, Professor Lockhart, just right, what Harry needs to learn is Defense Against the Dark Arts and Potions, you and Severus can take turns Teaching..."

"Albus—" Snape finally looked him squarely.

"No, no, no, Severus, I know what you're going to say, but Professor Lockhart can't do it alone," Dumbledore continued before Lockhart could say "I can". He said, "Both of you are responsible for seven grades, and you have homework corrections. The combined leisure time of the two of you can let Harry learn more." He took out a pocket watch-sized thing with a long chain from his pocket , "Harry, your time will be arranged by the two professors arbitrarily this semester. This is a small prop that can help you. It has a magical effect and a magical name—'Time Turner'."

I received it in surprise and curiosity, Merlin, is this the Time-Turner that Hermione got in her third year? !Having it equals a lot of disposable time!Dumbledore explained to me its functions, precautions and limitations in detail, and suddenly I thought of something: "Professor, maybe we can use this to find out who is the murderer?"

"No, Harry, time is a magical thing...sometimes fate seems more like a given..." Dumbledore spoke in a slow tone, as if he was walking through a fog, trying to see through the future, "child , don't use it for anything that has nothing to do with learning - including exploring, I always think you are not an impulsive and reckless lion cub." Snape snorted coldly. "Here is a notebook that can record everything you do after using the Time-Turner." Dumbledore stared at me seriously, "Don't try to disturb time, Harry, unless you are absolutely sure... and Now...it's not time to meddle in dangerous things."

"I see, Professor." I wouldn't be so stupid as to face the basilisk by myself. My mind is now full of how to use the time-turner to absorb more knowledge. I feel like I have Ravenclaw at times. Characteristics, such as the period of studying with Mr.

Then Professor McGonagall sent me back to the Gryffindor common room, and tomorrow I will receive this extra month's new timetable - I can't imagine Lockhart and Snape discussing the teaching time together!

The next night there was a meeting of all DA members in the Response Room except for the twins who had gone somewhere.Speaking of the diary first, we agreed that no one should be allowed to set foot in that room—if Mari had been sensible, she would not have touched the diary when someone had already opened the chamber.

Then about the petrification incident, Marie said: "It's a pity, I have been busy making the emblem recently, and I fell asleep yesterday from exhaustion. I read about the secret room in a book. That's Slater Lin's chamber of secrets can only be opened by the heir of Slytherin...and this heir has a special talent..." Seeing that everyone was looking at her intently, she reminded, "This is in "Hogwarts, a section It is mentioned in "School History."

Hermione frowned and thought for a while, and suddenly realized: "It's Parseltongue! The heirs of Slytherin all have Parseltongue!"

Marie glanced at me: "Yes, so there is probably a basilisk in the secret room - I read in another book that the eyes of the basilisk can kill people, as long as you look at it, no one I survived. There were water stains in the corridor, right?" Ginny nodded as she recalled, "Ms. Norris may have seen the eyes of the basilisk through the reflection in the water, so she did not lose her life, but was petrified. gone."

"So who opened the Chamber of Secrets?" Ron looked at Draco meaningfully.

"What do you mean? Red-haired lion!" Draco sneered contemptuously, "If I opened the chamber of secrets, I would let the basilisk be the first to petrify you!"

"Don't be arguing!" Hermione interrupted their quarrel impatiently, "Mari, can you explain in more detail? I mean what else do you know about the Chamber of Secrets besides it belongs to Slytherin? Bytheway , you have read so many books.” (Chinese translation: By the way)

Marie explained all the legends in detail, including the fact that non-pure blood wizards are most likely to be attacked by the basilisk in the secret room.In the end we decided to tell the professor our guess.It is with a heavy heart that we conclude this discussion.Draco said that he would be responsible for picking up Hermione in the future, and he thought that the basilisk would not attack easily with a pure blood by his side.Ron thought that it was enough to have him and me, and the people of Gryffindor did not need Slytherin escorts, not to mention that the murderer behind the scenes was the heir of Slytherin.It wasn't until Hermione got angry and took out the posture of Queen Gryffindor to scold them both that the battlefield with sound turned silent.

Back in the dorm, when everyone is asleep, I spin the Time-Turner, Lockhart has an extra Defense Against the Dark Arts class tonight, I doubt he can teach me anything, but I have to go listen.I prefer to be taught by Snape, although he is eccentric, awkward, rough, loves to toss me, loves to find fault with me... Oh no, am I a bit of a masochistic tendency? !
