Being a bastard at Hogwarts is not safe.

"A professor who can easily deal with a Cornish elf, and even a few tricks with Snape, can't deal with a snake? Not only that, but he made the situation worse."

Brian paused, glanced at Harry who was deep in thought, and continued.

"I have noticed some weird things about Lockhart since the first class of this semester. I once suspected that it was black magic, but Snape didn't question Lockhart in the Dueling Club. This just shows three problems.

One, could Snape be with Lockhart?

This possibility is very low, not only because Snape's long-term contempt for Lockhart can probably negate this idea, but also because Snape had two head-on conflicts with the Dark Lord last year.

Second, is the magic Lockhart used black magic?It's hard to judge, whether it's the effect of the spell, even in terms of its power, what it contains is very similar to black magic.

So would there be a third possibility, that people like Snape couldn't tell whether it was black magic or not? "

Brian's voice gradually cleared up, and became more high-pitched:

"What really made me suspect this idea was that I witnessed Snape's demeanor change at the Dueling Club that day. During the duel between Goyle and me, Snape, who was supposed to be paying close attention to this matter, unexpectedly lost his mind. Its focus is always on Lockhart.

Then I think about these issues in series, and I can come to an absurd conclusion.

Lockhart has a secret that even Snape can't see through, so what is this secret?"

Harry clenched his fists and looked up at Brian, who was talking eloquently in front of him.He took a light breath, and the initial anxiety became more and more settled down.

He finds it very enjoyable when Brian is really willing to chat with you in depth.This guy can dissect all situations and put them in front of you to answer all your doubts, worries, and things you can't see.

Also studying at Hogwarts for more than a year, he thought about how to use magic, how to deal with Voldemort, how to help Dumbledore, and help his friends do something.

However, he never thought that he could analyze so much information from a trivial point of view...

Harry sighed, "So, Lockhart was controlled by Voldemort?"

"Like Quirrell was controlled by Voldemort last year?"

"No, it doesn't seem like it." Brian looked at Harry, "because Lockhart's behavior doesn't quite resemble the Dark Lord's."

"Not like?" Harry seemed confused by Brian.

"Yes, not like that. I suspect that Lockhart is only in contact with the Dark Lord, rather than being directly controlled by him like Quirrell, so the most important thing for us now is to find out who Malfoy learned from. The curse of oolong coming out of the hole."

"Okay!" Brian said in a deep voice, his expression quite solemn. "We don't have much time, let's talk about the second question."

"Harry, you should be able to guess by now which family's house-elf Dobby is from, right?"

Harry nodded, "Well, although I'm not sure yet. But Dobby's strange behavior, and the timing of his appearance, I think it belongs to the Malfoy family."

"Then Harry should also understand that Dobby probably knows the truth of the matter."

"You mean Dobby knew who the murderer was?"

"Yes." Brian nodded heavily, "So after the Quidditch match, can you understand Dobby's strange behavior Harry?"

"Why don't we ask it directly?"

"There is no such possibility." Brian explained, "The house elves are all given unique contracts, and they cannot reveal any secrets of the master's house.

However, at that time, Dobby's frightened expression after seeing our group and his strange behavior of leaving quickly.Harry, do you know what that means? "

......

Harry suddenly thought of something, cold sweat broke out instantly, his eyes widened, he stared blankly at Brian, with a hint of pleading in his eyes.

Brian nodded calmly, shattering Harry's last illusion.

There were Harry, Ron, Hermione, Colin Creevey, Neville, Seamus and Brian.Excluding the already injured Neville, Colin Creevey, and Harry and Brian who are currently talking openly, the scope of this suspicion is narrowed down to Ron, Hermione, and Seamus.

Of the remaining three, two were Harry's roommates and one was their best friend.

"Didn't you say that the whole thing has nothing to do with Lucius?" Harry almost growled softly, "Then why are you so sure that Dobby will know the whole thing!"

"Lucius is not the executor of this matter, but he will be the initiator." Brian looked at Harry calmly and poured cold water on him.

"Did you forget Harry, Dobby reminded you before the semester started? The extremely embarrassing conflict between Lucius and Arthur Weasley at the Lihen Bookstore. Although I can't be [-]% sure, I'm [-]% sure Be sure, the target of the Dark Lord's possession is among these few people."

"The current situation is like this, presumably the Dark Lord is also watching his masterpiece coldly in secret. Harry, you must not show any signs, but you must not relax your vigilance. Although I haven't fully figured out what the Dark Lord is doing this time. The real purpose, but wait for me for a while, and I will figure it out. In the meantime, Harry, you have to endure the humiliation and wait for me to make the first layout.

Taking advantage of the opportunity that the Dark Lord is afraid of Dumbledore, I will make some core arrangements to attract the bait, and try to pull Lucius down as well. "

Harry was silent, bowed his head and pondered for a while, and nodded slightly in agreement.

Brian chuckled, turned his head to look at Harry and said, "If we want to prove my guess about Hermione, Ron and Seamus wrong, it will be difficult, but it is not impossible."

"What?" Harry looked at Brian in a daze, "Then what should we do?"

To be honest, Harry's mind was completely blank at the moment. He had already followed Brian's train of thought, and tried his best to let his imagination fly and expand his thinking... But, he still couldn't keep up with Brian's rhythm.

And Brian did not disappoint the savior Harry, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he wrote two names on the paper.

"The Dark Lord made a fatal mistake this time. Colin Creevey and Justin are two students from two colleges and different grades who have nothing to do with each other. There is no reason for them to appear in that remote corner at the same time. Find out , Find out the glue between the two! By then, we will not be far from the truth!"

Brian drew two circles outside the two names, and finally clenched his five fingers into a fist, and slammed it on the intersection of the two circles with a bang.
