abnormal hogwarts

The Christmas break at Hogwarts lasts about a month.

The two weeks before and after Christmas are holidays.

The time has come quickly to January, and the students of Hogwarts have to embark on their way back to school, no matter how reluctant they are.

At the dinner on the day he returned to school, Ron's first words when he saw Harry were: "I know what the monster in the Chamber of Secrets is."

However it was of no use.

Now the whole of Hogwarts knows that the monster in the Chamber of Secrets is a rune snake.

Fear comes from the unknown.

Now that the students know that the monster in the secret room is just a rune snake with a danger level of "XXXX", they have become bolder.

After all, although magical creatures of this level are still very dangerous, senior students can still deal with them as long as they are not alone, so the runes have lost their deterrent effect.

However, it is still quite dangerous for younger wizards.

Moreover, the students who were attacked have also been discharged from the hospital. It is not difficult for them to be cured after being bitten by the rune snake.

The rune snake's fangs do not contain any strong toxins and can be easily recovered.

The biggest problem now is that when they were attacked, the murderer gave each of them a forgetting spell.

This left them with no impression of the scene at that time.

Naturally, there are no clues to the murderer.

However, the murderer who was still at large was no longer feared in the eyes of the students, and the atmosphere in Hogwarts returned to its former tranquility.

Albert touched his head helplessly.

Harry didn't get the diary as in the original plot, so how could he get clues from the diary?

You can't just go to Lockhart and steal the diary and throw it to Harry, right?

It would be better to just kill Lockhart.

……

After Christmas, the students of Hogwarts spontaneously expanded on the basis of the Gryffindor Knights and established the Hogwarts Knights, stationed in every corner of the castle to guard the safety of other students. .

Minister for Magic Cornelius Fudge became extremely nervous and expressed extreme concern after learning of the incident.

He thought there was going to be an uprising at Hogwarts.

Dumbledore was too lazy to explain to Fudge, who was already bewildered as a minister.

If nothing else goes wrong, Fudge will be out of office in a few more years at most.

Gryffindor prefect, Percy Weasley, became deputy master of the Hogwarts Order.

Well, the leader is Professor McGonagall, the older cat girl.

Professor McGonagall, who was born in Gryffindor, usually looks serious and old-fashioned, but in fact she seems to be extremely interested in breaking the rules and making big news.

After the Hogwarts Knights were established, Percy used the funds Dumbledore applied to the school board for the Knights and bought a large amount of alchemy equipment from the twin brothers.

The long-distance communication props created based on the principle of the Akatsuki organization's ring can report the discovery of the runes to colleagues in other knights as soon as possible, so that they can rush to support as soon as possible.

George and Fred also provided equipment such as anti-curse cloaks to the knights of Hogwarts. Cloaks that can withstand three curses are rare in the wizarding world.

The curse-proof cloaks made by the two people are said to have alerted the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic and wanted to buy a batch from them.

There are also various small jewelry engraved with healing magic patterns. If you have alchemy items such as anti-spell cloaks and still fail to wait for teammates to come to support, then these small jewelry can temporarily hang the life of the injured person.

If he still couldn't wait until Madam Pomfrey came to save his life, he could only blame his bad luck.

The members of the Hogwarts Knights, who were armed to the teeth by George and Fred, patrolled the castle in groups every day, which prevented Lockhart from finding a better opportunity to kill him.

After three attacks, the fourth attack was delayed.

This shows that the efforts of the Hogwarts Knights are effective.

……

At night, in the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor's office.

With a pious look on his face, Lockhart wrote something in a black-covered diary.

"Lord Yake, I really can't find a chance to make a move. I need more powerful power."

Black ink emerged, forming a line of writing:

"Choose a sacrifice and find an opportunity to hand the diary into his hands. Then, do as I tell you."

A few seconds after the writing appeared in front of Lockhart, it twisted into something else.

Lockhart stared carefully at the complicated magical rituals presented in the diary for a long time, and after memorizing them in his mind, he slowly closed the diary.

"Resurrection... ceremony?" Lockhart sighed.

If possible, he really didn't want to resurrect this mysterious "Lord Yak".

Judging from the performance in the diary, the so-called Master Yak should be an extremely cruel and inhumane dark wizard.

Maybe even a descendant of Slytherin.

Otherwise, this cannot explain why it knew the existence of the Chamber of Secrets left by Slytherin.

Lockhart guessed that Lord Arc was defeated by someone, and then his soul possessed the diary it had used, or was sealed inside.

Lockhart didn't know the extremely evil magic of Horcruxes existed.

But he could still guess something based on the performance in the diary. This kind of self-aware evil magic prop is extremely rare. Apart from the soul of a wizard attached to it, other methods are not impossible but the possibility is extremely small.

So, is it really necessary to resurrect Yak?

Lockhart put his hand to his waist.

Under his wizard robe was a strange-looking belt.

He took out a square object from the desk drawer and fell into deep thought.

Should he resurrect this cruel and mysterious dark wizard and risk the safety of the magical world?Or should we give up the power and fame we have now to prevent the resurgence of evil?

Lockhart hesitated.

He suddenly remembered something.

The face of Albert Swann flashed through Lockhart's mind.

Even a fourth-grade wizard can easily defeat him, and his current strength is far from enough.

Why could a fourth-grade wizard defeat him after receiving guidance from Lord Yak? Is his talent really that bad?

He also wanted to be like the witnesses of the experiences recorded in his novels, possessing a high level of magic and experiencing wonderful adventures again and again, but this damn talent really limited him.

Thinking of this, Lockhart made up his mind.

Even if Lord Arc is resurrected, he may cause more harm to the wizarding world than Voldemort did, but what does that have to do with Lockhart?

He, Lockhart, just wanted to be famous.

Lockhart stood up from the table and left his office.
