This Hogwarts isn't normal.

If he were to think from another perspective, Vincent would not possess Lockhart, who had already been exposed. ♦♦  ♞♦

But it was hard to guess Tom's thoughts, so it was better to keep suspicion.

He began to recall what was wrong with Lockhart.

Before being awakened by Sprout, everything seemed fine.

Cornish elves, the Acromantula in the Forbidden Forest, the Kraken in the Black Lake, the dancing zombies, and tonight's duel club.

Spiders, retreat!

This unpopular spell might have been told to Lockhart by Tom.

After the Kraken and the zombies, Vincent was attacked by the basilisk.

With such a great opportunity as Halloween, Tom would definitely instigate Lockhart to open the Chamber of Secrets.

After that, perhaps because he noticed something, Lockhart went to the school hospital to visit them.

Vincent remembered that he seemed to be relieved at the time.

Knowing that Tom had bad intentions, he was playing badly in the following Defense Against the Dark Arts classes?

Dumbledore was not in school, so tonight's duel club was the second chance.

Apart from his narcissism and love of showing off, Lockhart is not that bad.

But is he really just a victim?

Vincent doesn't believe it, and Sprout doesn't believe it even more.

The diary in the drawer that was cast with black magic is the best proof.

"Is there a problem?" Hermione, who changed back into her school robes, came near the two and asked with concern: "What is it? Is he here?"

She understood the current situation from the embarrassed expressions of the two.

Escaped, but not completely.

The reason may be the basilisk, or perhaps something else.

Waiting is tormenting.

Many Acromantulas have entered the hall.

The professors organized the students to drive away several waves, and then returned to peace again.

Harry behaved very well, not as pale as Ron, nor as badly slapped in the face as Draco.

Vincent, who was at the back, was about to give up.

No one saw the problem, and everyone was the same as usual.

After about ten minutes of silence, Sprout realized that the threat of the Acromantula had been lifted.

But the threat from Tom was still there.

She walked out of the hall and asked the senior students to remain on guard.

Just after four in the morning, the three professors in the Forbidden Forest returned.

McGonagall held a small glass bottle filled with black smoke in her hand.

Snape took off his bat helmet and glanced at the people in the hall one by one with a cold look.

Mutual suspicion is not desirable.

Flitwick whispered a few words in his ear, and his questioning eyes just subsided a little.

Vincent approached McGonagall honestly.

She pursed her lips, "It's still alive."

The biggest bargaining chip has been obtained.

"Can I take a look?"

"Wait until it's over.

McGonagall pretended not to see his sad little face, "Severus gave us a general idea, what do you think we should do now?"

Vincent glanced at Snape, "He has hostages, and we have them too."

She nodded slightly, "It's consistent with the result we discussed before we came. "

Tom must be very anxious now.

If he loses the basilisk completely, he can only leave in disgrace.

But when people are forced into a desperate situation, they may do anything.

After dawn, Dumbledore may come back.

"What happened?" Ron whispered to Harry beside him.

"I don't know the details, I just know it's related to that person."

"Ah!?" Ron quickly covered his mouth, "Why did he come back?"

"It seems that he is the heir of Slytherin and is coming back to open a secret chamber."

The same situation happened to Hermione.

Lavender and Parvati were questioning her, and even Ginny and Luna came over.

"I can only say that we are in danger now, and anyone may be suddenly held hostage."

"This is too terrible--" Lavender hugged her shoulders and trembled.

She now thinks everyone is a bad person.

Ginny is better, "The professors will have a way, right?"

"Of course. "Hermione pretended to be calm and said, "So don't be afraid if you are targeted, we will be safe."

"Are you comforting yourself?" An inappropriate voice sounded.

Draco stopped in front of them with a swagger, "Yes, we still have Wayne, he will definitely protect us~"

Almost pounced on by the eight-eyed giant spider, so he took his anger out on them?

Hermione was very unhappy, "Stay away from us, you are not welcome here."

"Wow——" Draco dragged out the sound, "Miss Beaver is angry?"

"Malfoy, everyone has a bad mood sometimes." She tried to calm herself down, "But your behavior will only make you look particularly childish. "

Draco's face looked very ugly.

More than an hour ago, he was lying happily on his bed in his dormitory, dreaming that Vincent and Harry were kneeling in front of him and begging for mercy.

But before he could open his mouth to mock, he was suddenly thrown off the bed by two red-haired weirdos wearing bat eye masks.

He was already very depressed, and just now he was almost pounced on by a giant eight-eyed spider.

How could he not find someone to cheer him up when he was so miserable.

"This shabby school..." Draco left cursing.

McGonagall, who saw everything, shook her head.

She couldn't see who was suspicious, not even a little bit.

The same goes for Flitwick and Sprout.

Only Snape stared at the crowd with a "slightly" restrained scrutiny.

Perhaps whoever dared to look him in the eye was most likely to be possessed by Tom.

Vincent did not comment on this.

A whole night had passed, and it was only two more hours to wait.

He stretched and planned to go outside for some fresh air.

"Where are you going?" Snape looked at him as if he was looking at a prisoner.

"To find Jerry."

Muggles have an animation work suitable for all ages, called "Tom and Jerry", also known as "Tom and Jerry".

Vincent originally thought that Snape could not understand, but he did not expect that he could understand, and even mocked:

"Weasley has a mouse, are you planning to take advantage of it?"

"Professor, Ben seems to have only one name."

Snape turned around expressionlessly, temporarily dispelling his suspicion.

Vincent walked out of the hall after getting McGonagall's consent.

Rolf and Davis on the right were at peace, while Percy on the left seemed to be arguing with Marcus.

"Weasley, we caught one alive!"

"Flint, how did you get knocked down?"

Looking at the two men at loggerheads, he felt that he could kill time.

Unfortunately, they were both rational and did not really fight.

For this, Vincent could only express a thousand regrets in his heart.

When he turned around and wanted to walk into the hall, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure retreating into the stairwell.

In the entire Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, only one person could suppress the show-off in a golden and white cloak.
