Journey through the heavens from Hogwarts

Half an hour later, Lockhart took the test papers and turned them over in front of the class.

After being exposed by Lin Xiao, Hermione would naturally not admire Lockhart as much as she did in the original work. However, the two of them answered all the questions without conscience based on the consensus that they would not give away the points that were given in vain.Lockhart also generously gave ten points to each of the two academies.

After adding points, he bent down and took out a large cage covered with a cloth from behind the podium and placed it on the table.

"Now - beware! It is my job to teach you to defend yourself against the most evil things the wizarding world has ever known! You will face the most horrific things in this classroom. But remember, as long as I am here, you will not No harm will come to you. All I ask is that you remain calm."

"I must ask you not to scream," said Lockhart in a low voice. "That will irritate them!"

It's just a group of Cornish elves. With Lin Xiao's strength, a few freezing spells can solve them all.

These little elves were livid, about eight inches tall, with small pointed faces and very shrill and shrill voices, as if they were many budgies quarreling.

As soon as the cover was removed, they began to chirp, jump up and down, shake the cage bars, and make all kinds of weird faces at the people nearby.

After the introduction, Lockhart desperately opened the cage and released them. This time, the elves were in a mess and flew around like rockets.

The panicked Neville was picked up by the ears by two elves.

Some others rushed out of the window and scattered broken glass all over the back row of the classroom.The rest wreaked havoc in the classroom, worse than a rampaging rhinoceros.

They grabbed ink bottles and threw them at the whole class, tore books and papers into pieces, tore off pictures on the walls, turned over waste bins, and threw schoolbags and textbooks out of broken windows.After a few minutes, half the class was hiding under the tables and Neville was swinging from the chandelier.

"Come on, drive them away, drive them away, they are just some elves..." Lockhart shouted loudly, and tried to raise his wand to drive away the elves, but with his strength only proficient in the Oblivion Charm, it was obvious that It's doing useless work.

One of the elves grabbed Lockhart's wand and threw it out of the window.

Lockhart took a breath and ducked under the podium table, almost being hit by Neville who was thrown down, because almost at the same second, the chandelier fell out of control.

After the bell rang, the little wizards rushed towards the door desperately to escape from this terrible classroom.

In the relative silence that followed, Lockhart straightened up and saw the four Lin Xiaos who had already walked to the door. He said, "Ah, I ask the four of you to catch the remaining elves and put them back in the cage."

He hurried out of the classroom ahead of them and closed the door as soon as he was out.

Lin Xiao looked at the closed door speechlessly, helplessly called Hermione for help, and then said, "Harry, Ron, you two, take them back one by one."

"Hermione and I are responsible for stopping them."

Harry and Ron on the side nodded repeatedly. Not long after, the two of them had used freezing spells to restrict the movements of all the elves.Then they were put into the cage one by one. Lin Xiao and Hermione found an excuse to leave and hurried to the door of the principal's office.

Shortly after the two left, Harry said doubtfully, "I always feel like they are hiding something from us."

"Don't worry so much. They will definitely tell us if something happens." Ron said weakly, "Let's go back to the dormitory quickly. I have been working for so long and I am almost exhausted. I just want to lie down well now." Rest in bed.”

When Harry heard this, he also felt a little tired, so he didn't think much about it and followed Ron towards the lounge.

Lin Xiao and the two on the other side seemed to have arrived at just the right time. Professor McGonagall had just come out. After seeing Lin Xiao and Hermione, he asked with some confusion, "Miss Granger, and Mr. Lin Xiao, Why are you two here?"

Obviously Professor McGonagall's severity is also personal!

Lin Xiao thought about omitting the part about the door-opening password test, and then whispered: "Professor McGonagall, we have something to talk to Principal Dumbledore about the mysterious man."

"Mysterious man, you mean..., oh, okay, you guys come with me." Professor McGonagall said seriously. After hearing that it was about the mysterious man, Professor McGonagall turned around and returned without hesitation. At the door of the principal's office, she believed that her two good students would not make fun of the mysterious man.

“Iced lemonade!”

The two blocking statues slowly rotated around, revealing a door, and Professor McGonagall led the two of them inside.

"Minerva, do you have anything else to do?" Dumbledore turned around and said with a smile.

Professor McGonagall walked aside, revealing Lin and Xiao behind them, and said seriously, "I think you can talk to the children first."

Dumbledore said in surprise, "Oh, it's Miss Granger and Mr. Lin Xiao. I can call you Mr. Lin Xiao!"

"So what do you have to do with me, the principal?"

"Of course, Principal Dumbledore, er, Principal, you should know that I have secretly visited the restricted book area."

Lin Xiao knew that Dumbledore would take the book away and put it in his principal's office to prevent anyone from going down the road of no return like his good student Tom, so Lin Xiao went to read it in advance and put the above All the contents were also written down.

Dumbledore nodded with a smile, but Professor McGonagall on the side was not so calm, "Albus, how could you..."

"Minerva, don't worry, just listen to what Mr. Lin Xiao has to say."

"Uh... Principal Dumbledore, you should know that there was a book called "Advanced Dark Arts Revealed" in the corner of the restricted book area, but it was gone when I looked for it later. I had browsed that book before, and it was There seems to be some mention of an evil prop in it, it seems to be called a soul...a horcrux, yes, it is a horcrux."

Dumbledore's expression became obviously serious when he heard Lin Xiao talking about Horcruxes. He knew that this child would not mention this evil magic item for no reason, so there was only one possibility. Then he said with some surprise, " Then my child, did you find a magic tool similar to a Horcrux?"

After hearing this, Lin Xiao nodded quickly and slowly explained the reason, "Hermione and I were at Flourish and Blotts Bookstore that day when we saw Mr. Lucius, who had an argument with Mr. Weasley, stuffing a black notebook into Ron's hand. In my sister Ginny’s stack of books, you also know that he was a Death Eater in the past, so I suspected..."

Dumbledore continued Lin Xiao's words with a serious expression, "You suspect that the notebook is a prohibited black magic item given to Lucius by Voldemort."

Then a gleam of wisdom flashed in Dumbledore's eyes, "However, when you get it, you will find that it has a similar aura to the description of the Horcrux in the book you once saw - a kind of magic that can confuse people's hearts. strength."

"It's just that Mr. Lucius doesn't seem to realize the importance of that diary."

"Where is that diary now, kid?" Dumbledore said slightly excitedly. He tried his best to control his emotions. The clues he had been looking for for so long finally received good news.

Dumbledore knew that after the Killing Curse was rebounded that night, Voldemort did not disappear completely, but lurked secretly, trying to resurrect and realize his ambitions again.

He searched for the answer for 11 years and finally found a clue, which was the Horcrux.For this reason, he put a large number of dark magic books about Horcruxes in the library in the principal's office for preservation, but he knew that there would still be omissions in the library.

He didn't expect that the missing book happened to be opened by Lin Xiao, but it brought him good news.

"With Hermione's help, I successfully got the notebook." After saying that, Lin Xiao handed the diary hidden on his body to Dumbledore.

Dumbledore took the notebook, observed it carefully for a while, and said happily, "Oh... yes, that's right. This is indeed a Horcrux, kid, you did a good job." Then he thought of something, Muttered to himself, "Slughorn, I didn't expect..."

Tom should be glad that he didn't wake up at this time, otherwise he would have panicked.

"Then you should also know how to destroy Horcruxes, kid." Dumbledore, who came back to his senses, asked Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao also nodded when he heard this and said, "I remember that Li Huo seemed to be able to completely destroy the Horcrux, and there was also a fang that seemed to be a basilisk."

"Principal Dumbledore, I want to tell you one more thing. This diary seems to have thoughts. The night I got it, I tried to extract some... So Principal, according to me It is known that there is a basilisk in Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets."

Dumbledore was a little surprised when he heard this, and then walked up to Lin Xiao and touched his head. He felt relieved after sensing that there was no smell of black magic.
