"This stupid bird belongs to Sherlock." Anita replied while unpacking the package.

Hearing Sherlock's name, Draco frowned subconsciously. Although it had been many years, that strange Muggle still left a deep impression on him.Later, I also heard from Anita that Sherlock went to Diagon Alley with them.Although he didn't have much contact with him, Draco didn't think Sherlock was a friendly person who would send packages to others, so he couldn't help asking curiously, "That Sherlock? What did he send you?"

"Although it is Sherlock's owl, but the person who sent me something was Watson. I asked him to help me buy some Muggle things. How could Sherlock have the patience to buy such boring things for my goldfish?" Anne Tower pulled out some sunglasses and a voice recorder from the package.

"What do you want these Muggle things for?" Draco picked up the sunglasses, which should be glasses in appearance, but the lenses can reflect light like a mirror, clearly reflecting his figure.

"Suddenly I became interested in Muggle stuff and wanted to study it," Anita said.

"Aren't you busy researching potions recently?" Draco looked at Anita inquiringly, and he felt that Anita seemed to be hiding something from him.Although Anita has always had an extraordinary understanding of Muggles, she is not interested in Muggle things, not even the curiosity of ordinary wizards about Muggle items, as if it is commonplace.However, since Anita's father had grown up in the Muggle world, and they lived very close to the Muggle world, Draco didn't find it surprising.But Anita's sudden desire to study Muggle artifacts seemed odd.

"My hobbies have always been so broad." Anita changed the subject, "Speaking of hobbies, how is your research on communication tools?"

"It's going pretty well," Draco said absently.He knew very well that Anita was changing the subject, and he didn't probe into it very gentlemanly.Draco rationally knew that no matter how good a friend is, it is impossible to share everything, and how to grasp the distance between people is a compulsory homework for Slytherin, and he has always done it very well.But just now, when he realized that Anita was hiding something from him, he felt very uncomfortable.

This is very strange.Draco touched his chest, which was a little stuffy, and decided to copy the Malfoy family rules to remind himself to respect other people's privacy.Even if Anita is his best friend, he can't cross the line.

After returning to her room after school, Anita took out the recording pen and pressed the switch. Unfortunately, there was only a "hissing" noise from the recording pen.

It really doesn't work.

Anita wasn't too disappointed, she knew that Hogwarts had a special magnetic field, and all electronic products could not be used, but she still wanted to try it.Just ask Watson to buy a recording pen and record the sound of a rooster crowing and send it to her. Although it is said that the heir of Slytherin can control the basilisk, the basilisk is one of the most dangerous magical creatures in the wizarding world.Anita dare not take it lightly, she must be fully prepared to face the basilisk, after all, Anita does not have the sword of the Phoenix or Gryffindor to open her up.

But now that the recordings weren't working, did she really have to go to Hagrid for a cock?Not to mention how beautiful the picture of holding a rooster is when you are fighting, and the rooster does not crow if you think it will.Why is the wizarding world so backward that it doesn't even have a recorder? !

Anita frantically hugged the pillow and rolled on the bed. After disliking the wizarding world for the thousand and first time, she decided to go to the restricted area at night to find out if there was any specific information about the basilisk. If only we could find some other way to counter the basilisk.

Anita has already read the books about basilisks in the general area, but since the Middle Ages, breeding basilisks has always been regarded as an illegal act. It is also very dangerous, so there are very few wizards who actually cultivate the basilisk, let alone those who record the habits of the basilisk.So so far, the only information Anita has is that the crowing of the rooster is fatal to the basilisk, and the basilisk has deadly fangs. Anything that looks directly at the basilisk's eyes will die immediately, and those who indirectly touch the basilisk's eyes will die immediately. Be petrified.

In the middle of the night, Anita got up quietly, and when she was about to visit the library at night, she found that the light in the common room was still on, and under the light was Draco who was writing something.The orange light danced slightly, casting a layer of warm soft light on Draco's face. The serious and serious Draco still had a little baby fat on his face, but under the light and shadow, he unexpectedly attracted people's eyes. .

Wait, Anita, don't be a nympho, Draco can't know about the basilisk.

Anita wanted to go back, but it was too late, Draco turned his head when he heard the movement, and asked in surprise, "Anita? Are you going out so late?"

"Uh..." Anita wanted to say that she just couldn't sleep, so she came to sit in the common room for a while, but she looked down at her standard night travel equipment, and gave up her plan to lie, "I'm going to the library, why are you Haven't slept yet?"

"Uh..." Draco's face was stained with a thin layer of blush, he didn't want Anita to know that he was copying the house rules, and he didn't want Anita to know why he punished himself for copying the house rules, it was too shameful.

"What are you writing?" Anita said, reaching for the notebook on the table.

Draco hastily closed the book and blurted out, "I...I'm writing a diary!"

As expected, Anita withdrew her hand and raised her eyebrows, "Since it's a diary, why don't you write it in your own room?"

"Uh... because there's no inspiration in the room?"

Anita rolled her eyes, "Then you can continue writing, I'm going to the library."

"Wait. I'll go with you," Draco said.

"No need. You'd better write your diary." Anita shrugged.

"I just finished writing."

"Okay then." Anita didn't have a better reason to stop Draco, and Draco would definitely notice something based on what he knew about her, so she agreed.

The two expertly passed through the dark corridor and came to the library on the fifth floor.It was pitch black in the library, Anita drew out her wand, and whispered, "Lumos."

The restricted section was at the back of the library, and Anita and Draco carefully stepped over the rope that separated the restricted section from the normal section.When it comes to this rope, Anita really wants to complain. Since it is a restricted area, it is absolutely possible to use spells or magic circles to ensure that students cannot break into it. After all, there are some powerful black magic in the restricted area, which is difficult for ordinary students. It's still dangerous to say.Anita once thought that this rope was a magical item that could isolate the restricted area, but Anita entered the restricted area openly with the note signed by Severus, and secretly studied it behind Mrs. Pince's back. After a while, I was speechless and found that it was an ordinary rope, and it was not easy to enter the restricted area.

"What are you looking for?" Draco asked in a low voice.

Anita couldn't tell Draco that she was looking for information on the basilisk, after all the basilisk was too dangerous.Anita is a Parseltongue and a descendant of Slytherin, well, not really a descendant of Slytherin, but that's okay.Even if Anita couldn't fully control the basilisk, the danger wasn't too great, but not necessarily Draco.Anita couldn't bring Draco into this.

"Uh..." Anita had an idea and came up with an excellent excuse, "Student files seem to be stored in the restricted area?"

Draco nodded and asked, "Whose file are you looking for?"

"Professor Lockhart," said Anita.

"Professor Lockhart?" Draco asked puzzled, "I thought we'd already concluded that Professor Lockhart was a flashy idiot? Didn't you say that even Professor Dumbledore admitted that Lockhart was' Bad teacher'?"

"But don't you find it strange? Professor Lockhart should have graduated from Hogwarts, right? Even a first-year student's magic is better than him. How did he graduate?" Although it was a temporary excuse , but now the more Anita thinks about it, the more she feels wrong.Because of the influence of the original book before, Anita subconsciously accepted the setting that Lockhart is a deceitful idiot, without thinking too deeply, but ruled out the possibility that this is a bug left by the original author Aunt Rowling—because it is a real There are no bugs in the world - is Lockhart really what he appears to be?If not, why did he act like that?

"There is indeed a problem." Draco was also lost in thought.

"It's here." Anita and Draco made their way to the end of the Restricted Section, where there was a row of huge, ceiling-to-ceiling bookcases that housed the archives of all Hogwarts students ever.

"Accio Gilderoy Lockhart's student record! (Gilderoy Lockhart's student record is coming!)" Draco raised his wand and shouted, a thin file flew out of the cabinet and floated in front of Draco, Draco reached out to catch it.

Anita brought the tip of her glowing wand close to the file, and they leafed through it together with Draco.

"Look here," Anita read, pointing to a line of writing, "'Ghideroy Lockhart, born on January 1964, 1, mixed race, mother is a wizard, father is a Muggle, has a twin Muggle Brother and two Muggle sisters. Entered Hogwarts in 26... 'Oh, incredible, I thought Lockhart was a Hufflepuff, but he's a Ravenclaw?"
