I'm a priest at Hogwarts

Chapter 120 Heroes Return

After calming down Helbo, it was already early in the morning. Nico Flamel took the Basilisk and left under the cover of night, while Dumbledore took Orlando back to the castle.

At this time, Hogwarts was already brightly lit. When Professor McGonagall couldn't find Dumbledore and didn't know what was going on, she decisively gathered all the students in the auditorium, and then asked the teachers to form a patrol team to patrol at any time. Waiting.

The auditorium was already covered with sleeping bags, and some students couldn't sleep and were still whispering. When Dumbledore strode in, everyone who saw him breathed a sigh of relief, as if he suddenly had a backbone.

Professor McGonagall came over excitedly, "Albus, you are back," she glanced at Orlando behind Dumbledore, and then said: "The students are all here, no one is missing, only Professor Lockhart is missing. Traces, we….”

Before she could finish speaking, Dumbledore waved his hand and interrupted her, "Minerva, you did a good job. Now that the crisis has been resolved, would it be better to let the children go back to their own beds to sleep? We’ll talk about it tomorrow if there’s anything else, and arrange the children first.”

The professors of each college immediately took action, and the students were woken up one after another. When Dumbledore announced to them that the crisis had been resolved and the murderer had been killed, they were all overjoyed. They could finally say goodbye to their fear and anxiety. day.

After a busy night, especially after a hearty battle, Orlando was also a little tired at this time. He said goodbye to Dumbledore and walked towards Hermione.

"Are you back?" Hermione suppressed her inner excitement and held his hand tightly.

"I'm back, I made you worry." Orlando patted the back of her hand.

"Has everything been resolved? You caught the snake...um, I mean the mastermind behind it?" Ron almost spilled the beans in excitement, but fortunately he responded in time.

The little Gryffindor lions gathered around, wanting to know something from Orlando.

"Caught it, it's Lockhart. He was controlled by dark magic. He was responsible for all these attacks. Only Dumbledore knows what happened best. I think the school will release specific information tomorrow." Orlando I think it's better to keep a low profile. He still has to stay in school for several years. He doesn't want to become a hero that attracts everyone's attention.

"Lockhart, oh my God, it's him."

The crowd kept screaming. No one expected that it would be their Defense Against the Dark Arts professor who committed the attack on the students.

"No wonder I didn't see him when I was teaching the statistician tonight." Percy said suddenly.

"But we always thought he was a liar, a liar who knew nothing. How did he do it? I mean, you know, it takes a very powerful wizard to do it." Harry asked puzzledly.

"Harry, do you remember the diary you lost? Tom Riddle, do you remember it?"

"Remember, you warned me at the time that this was probably a dark magic item."

"It is in the hands of Lockhart. Tom Riddle is the diary that controls Lockhart. I was attacked by him tonight."

"Oh my God, Lockhart attacked you. Are you hurt?" Hermione screamed in horror and grabbed his hand tightly.

"Why don't I stand here well? Of course I'm not hurt," Orlando patted Hermione's hand, comforted him and then said: "At that time, Lockhart blessed himself with the Disillusionment Charm. Waiting for me to appear in the hall He attacked me unexpectedly, but fortunately I didn't react slowly and finally killed him."

"You...killed...Lockhart?" Percy asked in disbelief.

The students who were watching were confused and looked at him in disbelief. A student could counterattack even when being attacked by a professor. This was either a fantasy or Orlando was bragging.

Professor McGonagall, who was about to come over to urge students to return to their dormitories, stopped after hearing this. Although she had received a notice from Dumbledore before, she did not know the specific content of the action.

"The situation was critical at that time. In order to find the person who made the sneak attack, I used a range attack magic to force Lockhart out. Lockhart, who was exposed, became angry and wanted to kill someone, so he directly cast Avada Kedavra on me. "

"Avada Kedavra, my God, how dare he? How dare he? This is black magic banned by the Ministry of Magic. It is the most evil Unforgivable Curse. How dare he use it on a student." Professor McGonagall Shaking with anger, he finally asked firmly: "Orlando, are you sure?"

"I confirm, Professor, Lockhart's wand is with me. If you don't believe it, you can use the flashback spell to recreate the magic at that time." Orlando handed over Lockhart's wand. When he killed Lockhart, the thunder and lightning The magic did not destroy his wand, and it was picked up by Orlando when he ran away.

Professor McGonagall took Lockhart's wand, held it with her hand and ensured that the tip of the wand was facing down, and then used her own wand to use the flashback spell on it, and a green light shot out and hit the floor. , and then another green light shot out.

Professor McGonagall withdrew her wand with a livid face, "My child, I will ask Dumbledore to seek justice for you. I want to ask him how he allowed a dark wizard to be a teacher." Obviously McGonagall The professor was furious.

After hearing Orlando's story, Hermione was frightened. Her delicate body leaning on him kept trembling. Orlando put out his arms and hugged her.

"Professor, if there is nothing else, I would like to go back and rest early."

"Go on, don't be mentally burdened," she patted Orlando on the shoulder, and then said to the others: "You all go back to the dormitory to sleep."

After sending all the students back to their dormitories, Professor McGonagall hurried to the principal's office.

The next day, during breakfast, the story about Lockhart and Orlando spread throughout the campus as fast as the wind.Orlando once again became the center of attention, but this time he was no longer greeted with hostility and gossip, but with eyes of gratitude and admiration.

Orlando is able to treat these things indifferently and turn a blind eye. He is not a vain person, and he doesn't care much about other people's opinions. He only does what he thinks he should do, regardless of whether it is what people think. Hero, he didn't care.

But he doesn't care, Hermione does!These days, she was very angry about Orlando. Whenever she heard someone say bad things about Orlando behind his back at school, she would go up and argue with him. For this reason, she had more than ten quarrels with students from several major colleges, some of whom originally hated Orlando. Then even she became hostile and gave her the unpleasant nickname "Buck-toothed Golden Mouse", mocking her for her sharp teeth and sharp mouth.

Now, the truth is out. Orlando has not only washed away the stigma, but has also become a hero of Hogwarts. This makes her feel proud, so whenever a student comes over to express his gratitude, she is always proud. with his head held high.

"Okay, Hermione, please let us go. We really can't walk anymore, so just stop wandering around, okay?" Harry said, tapping his thigh.

They had been shopping with Hermione for several hours today, and they went wherever there were crowds of people, causing a stir in the crowd every time. After learning the truth, many students took the initiative to apologize to Orlando, and then accepted Hermione Min's sermon.

At first, Harry and Ron found it quite interesting. It was a sour sight to watch these sarcastic guys being re-educated by Hermione.But as time went by, his legs and feet couldn't bear it. Orlando, who was holding Hermione's hand, saw that something was wrong and hurriedly winked at Harry and Ron.

"Can't you walk anymore?" Hermione looked at him suspiciously.

Seeing this, Ron quickly sat down on the ground, "My legs are almost broken, I really can't walk."

Hermione looked at Orlando again, and Orlando shrugged, "Don't look at me. You know they are always very weak. How about we go back and rest first?" He suggested cautiously.

Hermione looked at Harry and Ron with disgust, "Then that's it for today. Let's go back and review our homework. You have to know that the final exam is in two weeks."

After hearing this, Ron got up from the ground, looked at Harry, and then at Orlando, looking as if he was beyond love.
