[HP] The Elegance of the Night

In the Gryffindor boys' dormitory, Harry Potter climbed up from the post bed hung with dark red flannel curtains, tiptoely put on the cloak of invisibility, it was late at night, and his roommates were already fast asleep.

Mrs. Norris was petrified. It was already dark when the saviors came out of Professor Lockhart's office. They were sitting in the common room, discussing the issues that everyone was talking about. It wasn't until the bell rang from somewhere that I realized that it was twelve o'clock in the middle of the night.

After casting a few spells on his roommates to make sure they slept more soundly, Harry left the Gryffindor common room by a spiral staircase and headed quickly to the eighth floor.Pause at a huge tapestry of silly Barnabas trying to teach a troll the ballet.

This is a section of white wall, and the Room of Requirement is here. Just go to the vase that is one person tall and turn back, go back and forth three times, concentrate on thinking about what kind of place you need, and this magical secret room will appear.

I need a place to hide... Harry thought...give me a place to hide my things from being seen...

When he finished the third time, a very smooth door appeared on the white wall.Harry grabbed the brass handle, quickly opened the door and walked in.

Close the door silently, and every sound in the middle of the night will be magnified countless times in the silence. In order not to disturb the professors who are watching the night, Harry has to be more cautious.

It was a room the size of a cathedral, and the beams of light cast by the high windows looked like a city of tall buildings, crumbling piles of broken furniture; thousands of books; mountains of contraband; expired magic tricks. Medicines; jewels, cloaks, hats; things that looked like dragon eggshells; rusty swords and bloody axes.

Harry Potter walked into an alley among the pile of treasures under the instructions of Tom, who was a soul attached to the scar on his forehead, and they lived together day and night for seven years.And the only one who made Harry promise...

Turning right in the pile of treasures, passing a stuffed troll, and walking for a short distance, Harry caught a glimpse of something strange.

He heard the sound of turning things over, somewhere where his sight was blocked, someone came in before him...

"Tsk—look what I found!" A man's excited voice rang out, right next to him.

Harry approached cautiously, and at the place where he turned left beside the cracked disappearing cabinet, Gilderoy Lockhart was standing beside a pile of tattered debris, holding a rusty and dark crown in his hand.

"This is Rowena Ravenclaw's diadem! As luck would have it—" Harry's breath fell as Gilderoy Lockhart blurted out the name.

The charming blond man noticed it immediately, and he raised his wand vigilantly, assuming that he could attack and defend.

"Who's there!"

Harry held his breath and remained motionless as a white light flashed from the tip of Lockhart's wand.

That light floated in the air, forming a ball of intense light, and the surrounding darkness was dispelled by the strong light, just like daytime.

Gilderoy Lockhart stopped in his tracks and looked around suspiciously. He clearly felt a human breath, an illusion?Or is it the danger hidden in these contraband?

"Aha - I've found you! If you don't want to be locked up, just show yourself. The consequences of being caught by me will be very serious." Gilderoy Lockhart showed his perfect six teeth. Liang smiled and said tentatively.

The corner of Harry's mouth curled into an ironic arc. He had never been caught while wearing the Invisibility Cloak.Tom said his invisibility cloak was a perfect piece, not a cheap one out there.

"Give you another chance, will you show yourself, or will I find you out—" Professor Lockhart walked towards his position, Harry's wand quietly stretched out from the invisibility cloak, and cast a quick blow spell.

"Passed out!"

Professor Lockhart was hit, his forget-me-not blue eyes full of surprise, and he didn't immediately go down.Harry added another "faintly" and then added "Li Song Jin Xie" worriedly.

Professor Lockhart finally lost consciousness and collapsed on the pile of debris.He lay motionless, his cheek gashed by a rusty black magic item.Blood slowly spilled out, quietly dyeing his golden hair red.
