Connor's Hogwarts

Although Dumbledore is an old man, he is also a kind old man. Under normal circumstances, he will not put his students in danger.

Connor can confirm with a high probability that Dumbledore does not know about the Chamber of Secrets, whether now or in the original world line. It is impossible for him to let a basilisk wreak havoc in the school.

But Dumbledore must have some knowledge of the Chamber of Secrets, because he was the one who saved Hagrid back then, and he probably knew that it was Voldemort who opened the Chamber of Secrets.

However, Dumbledore has not found the location of the secret room for so many years. This matter may still be one of his knots, so when he heard that Connor believed that the secret passage was the secret room that he had been looking for for many years, he immediately "perked up" "Get up."

"There's nothing to elaborate on. I can only say it's intuition. Look at the little snake on the side of the faucet. It's related to snakes. No matter what, you will think of Slytherin. You also know that I have been looking for it recently. "The treasures left behind by the Big Four"

Connor shrugged: "So I think this is probably related to the [Chamber of Secrets] that the Sorting Hat said. I remember the song it originally sang clearly, [Slytherin strengthens himself in the Chamber of Secrets and makes foresight." [It’s for Slytherin], of course, this is just my guess, and I can’t guarantee whether it’s true or not.”

"Your guess is not impossible." Dumbledore calmly ate the candy and said thoughtfully: "But we still don't know what is deep in the secret passage, and we still don't know who entered the secret passage. , if according to you, the person who acted secretly had already planned it, then he will definitely take action next."

"Yeah." Connor opened Facebook, which showed the surveillance channel in front of the bathroom. Of course, everything was as usual on the surveillance, and the entrance to the secret passage showed no intention of moving. "Now we can only wait for his next move." It’s time to take action. After all, the information we have now is still not enough. I hope he will reveal his flaws.”

"If there is any useful information, I have one here."

Connor suddenly woke up and asked: "Useful information? What is it?!"

Dumbledore glanced at Connor and smiled: "Connor, have you forgotten the snake?"

"Snake? Snake! Yes! And that snake!" Connor had forgotten what happened. Harry was dragged away by a giant python! Since it is almost certain that the snake was used to lure the tiger away from the mountain, then the snake must have had contact with the "mastermind"! Then just check the snake's memory——

Connor sat up straight with excitement: "Professor, what did you see in that snake's memory?"

Dumbledore waved his hand: "I haven't read it yet. Although I have some experience in memory magic, I haven't done much research on the memory of snakes. But we happen to have a professor who is proficient in memory magic. He must be The professor who can perfectly restore that part of the memory for us is almost here at this time."

As soon as Dumbledore finished speaking, the door opened from outside the principal's office, and the well-dressed Gilderoy Lockhart walked cautiously into the office.

"Good evening, Professor Lockhart." Connor waved and greeted with a smile.

"Ah, I didn't expect you to be here, Connor. Haha, I didn't know that Mr. Headmaster suddenly called me over. What's the point of it?" Lockhart rubbed his hands and said with a bit of flattery.

"Gilderoy, I'm sorry to trouble you so late."

"It's okay! It's okay to share the principal's worries!"

"That's right, I do have a little thing that I need to trouble you with." Dumbledore waved his right hand, and a large snake rolled into a ball suddenly appeared in the air. Lockhart was so frightened that he took two steps back.

"I know you have done in-depth research on memory magic. Can you let us take a look at the snake's memory without harming it?"

"Oh, oh, of course, that's not a problem!" Lockhart nodded repeatedly, then he glanced at Connor covertly and said, "But I have to prepare some props. Wait for me, I'll be right back."

Then Lockhart left the office again. Dumbledore stroked his beard and said, "I heard that Professor Lockhart's film class is very popular among students?"

Connor shrugged: "Yeah, after all, it's so comfortable not to have to study in class, and the assignments are all reflections. Professor Lockhart is much more popular than the previous Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, at least than Quirrell." "

Connor paused and then added: "But I can't guarantee whether the students can learn anything. With all due respect, Professor Dumbledore, this is not fair to the senior students."

Dumbledore basically hired Lockhart to train Harry. No matter from which point of view, he was abusing his power. Connor was very disdainful of this behavior and gave him strong mental condemnation.

"Well, other courses are fine, but it's really difficult to recruit people for this Defense Against the Dark Arts course." Dumbledore sighed helplessly, "But next year, we will have a more reliable professor. I We already have a candidate."

Connor blinked: "So, Professor, is Voldemort's curse really that powerful? You haven't been able to get rid of it after so many years?"

Dumbledore shook his head: "Actually, this curse has improved a lot compared to the first few years. At least it is no longer fatal now, but as long as Voldemort does not die, I will not be able to remove this curse, and the Ministry of Magic has They are also happy to see this situation. They wish that wizards would not learn offensive spells."

"Ha, actually I agree. After all, what kind of magic to learn depends on talent. Of course, it is necessary to be exposed to every type of magic."

The two chatted for a while, and Lockhart came back soon. He also brought back the fish tank-like magic prop that he showed Connor.

"Start now? I'm ready!" Lockhart smiled and rubbed his hands, looking like an enthusiastic insurance salesman.

Dumbledore raised his hand and said, "Let's get started. You should know what happened when we rushed to the Forbidden Forest. I want you to check the memory of this snake, about its memory of meeting humans."

When the professors rushed to save Harry just now, Lockhart didn't go to make fun of him. After all, he was a competent actor.

"Okay, give me a minute!" Lockhart smiled brightly, and his expression turned pale when he turned around. He closed his eyes and raised his wand, pointing at the big snake in the sky, but soon he opened it again. He rolled his eyes and said: "Yes!"

Lockhart flicked his wand and pulled out a slender light blue thread from the python's head, and then he threw the thread into the empty "fish tank".

Soon, real sights and sounds appeared in the fish tank.

It was a dense forest. No one could tell where it was, but Connor guessed it was somewhere in the Forbidden Forest. The camera kept moving, and sounds of "rustling" and "hissing" were heard from time to time. This is a picture from the first-person perspective of the big snake.

Then a figure in black robes appeared on the screen. Connor and Dumbledore sat upright unconsciously. Is the case going to be solved so soon?

Of course it's not that easy. When the big snake approached the figure, a few people saw clearly that the man in black robe was wearing a wide hood and couldn't see his face at all. But Connor saw at a glance the old and worn-out thing in the man's arms. diary.

Next, the giant python circled around the man in black robe a few times, then wrapped its body around the man in black robe and climbed up. The angle of view soon became level with the man in black robe. Connor could imagine a giant python stretching its head in the black robe. A scene in which a man in a robe appears to be listening.

Next, there was a rapid hissing sound, and the man in black robe actually spoke pure snake language! The giant python seemed to understand what he said, and its eyes moved up and down. The snake was probably nodding. Then its perspective began to change again. This time, the man in black robe was walking.

Then Connor saw him using his slender white fingers to push aside the vines in front of him. What appeared in the distance of the camera was Harry and Neville, who were fencing back and forth!

"When is this memory?" Connor asked Lockhart standing aside.

"Six days ago," Lockhart answered.

"A week ago" Connor looked at the fish tank again and saw the man in black robe taking out a green gem and handing it to the big snake. After another "hiss, hiss", the man in black robe left, and everything that followed was the same. From the perspective of the forest, Lockhart controls the fast-forward memory.

Connor looked at Dumbledore again: "Professor, what is he talking about?"

Dumbledore touched his beard, his eyes were deep, and he responded calmly: "That was a simple command, which probably meant [turn red, attack, that boy]. He secretly controlled the snake to attack Harry. I Unexpectedly, besides Harry, there is a second Parseltongue among the students."

At this time, the scene in the "fish tank" had fast-forwarded to the attack a few hours ago, and then the fierce battle between humans and snakes. The three of them looked at this memory in silence.

After a long time, Connor pondered and said: "Professor, that person may not be a Parselmouth, I don't know. Did you notice the notebook he was holding? That should be the notebook Hermione threw away."

Old Dengtou frowned: "What do you mean?"

"I think that notebook is the centerpiece of it all."
