Hogwarts Life Guide

"I have always insisted on giving more opportunities to young people. Gilderoy, please set an example for the students!" Dumbledore interrupted Lockhart's boasting and waved for Lockhart to go first.

Lockhart, who was about to give a speech that he could say whatever he wanted, was dumbfounded and had to stop his tirade.Of course he refused to go down first, saying, "I need to be prepared, I think..."

"There's no time to explain, get down quickly!" Dumbledore urged, "Miss Weasley may not have so much time."

"But..." Lockhart looked at the hole again and said with a sad face, "I'm afraid of the dark..."

"Girod!" Dumbledore looked directly at Lockhart, his voice suddenly rising, "Now is not the time to joke! The ultimate fluorescent flash!"

Following Dumbledore's spell, a ball of light emerged from the tip of his wand, flew into the black hole, dispelled the darkness in the hole, and finally floated on the surface of the underground river.

With no way to retreat, Lockhart could only grit his teeth and jump down, "Slow down the fall!" After Lockhart shouted the spell, Tangning heard a 'plop' sound of falling into the water. She didn't know that this time Lockhart Has the spell taken effect?

"Harry, Tangning, are you willing to come with me to have a look?" Dumbledore turned around and asked the two of them. Harry wanted it, and Tangning did the same.

Under Dumbledore's control, they slowly landed, saying "you ju, i ju!" 'There are no lines.

Tangning stood on the bank of the underground river. Lockhart fell into the underground river as expected. Fortunately, the river kept flowing, otherwise the food residues of the past thousand years would definitely be enough for Lockhart to eat a pot.

Even so, Lockhart got a lot of sticky stuff on the water's edge while climbing ashore.

Tangning guessed that some house elves might come down to clean the place, because he didn't smell the smell of rotten food here at all.

"I went into the water to check, and there was nothing underneath." Lockhart pretended to be calm.

The weather had not yet warmed up in January, and the water in the underground river was even more freezing cold. Lockhart crawled out of the water. At first he couldn't feel it because he was nervous and scared, but soon he crossed his arms and began to tremble.In the end, it was Dumbledore who took action to get the water off Lockhart.

"Did you find anything?" Dumbledore asked gently.

Lockhart wanted to continue showing off, but Dumbledore's emphatic 'Gilderoy' silenced him.

"We still have to look at the bottom of the river. If the basilisk ever appeared here, then it must have left traces on the bottom of the river where food is most likely to accumulate." Tangning thought for a moment and said.

Next, Tangning saw Dumbledore take a stance. He shook his wand. Tangning didn't hear Dumbledore chanting any spells. She saw him point his wand towards the middle of the underground river, and an invisible force blocked it. The river water.

Gradually, the river bed was exposed and became larger and larger.Tangning saw several slightly overlapping S-shaped marks on the river bed, composed of sediment deposited over the years.

"The entrance to the secret room should be upstream!" Tangning said. There was almost no obstruction on the underground river downstream, but it was different upstream. Not far away was the solid foundation of the castle, and the river flowed under a big stone. .

"You two wait for me here." Dumbledore said to Tangning and Harry, "Gilderoy, let's go!"

"I can't stay here!" Harry shouted. "Sir, I want to come with you."

"Stay here, Harry, or I'll send you up." Dumbledore said without hesitation, "Gilderoy, what are you waiting for?"

"Wait a minute, principal, I think you'd better send us up." Tangning suggested. If Harry had to follow Dumbledore after he left, it would be a troublesome thing in Tangning's eyes.

"No problem!" Dumbledore whistled, and a fiery red bird appeared above Tangning's head. It was about the size of a swan. What caught Tangning's attention most was its long, shining golden tail.

Tangning finally recognized the bird above her head. It was the phoenix recorded in the book!He had long heard that Dumbledore had a phoenix, but he had never seen it before. He originally thought it was a rumor!

Then the phoenix used its golden claws one by one to take Tangning and Harry back to the kitchen, and then went back to find Dumbledore.

"It's called Fox. I just saw it Nirvana before the Christmas vacation. I didn't expect it to be so big now." Harry said with emotion.

"It's time for us to go back. I hope Dumbledore can find the Chamber of Secrets." Tangning said, "Harry, do you want to go back to the Great Hall for dinner or do you want to solve it right here?"

……

On the other hand, after Tangning and Harry left, Dumbledore walked towards the big rock. Lockhart hesitated and followed.

"Is everything you write about in your book your own personal experience? Gilderoy?"

Lockhart's heart trembled. He tried his best to calm down and replied with a smile, "Of course it is. It is undoubtedly my personal experience, including my third-class Order of Merlin and honorary membership of the Anti-Dark Arts Alliance." , and five times "Wizard Weekly" Most Charming Smile Award. Principal, why did you think of asking this question?"

"No need to explain so much, Gilderoy, I believe in your ability."

Following Dumbledore, Lockhart couldn't see Dumbledore's expression clearly. His heart felt cold because he knew very well that Dumbledore had begun to doubt his true level.Lockhart tightened his grip on the wand. According to his past experience, he only needed one of his best oblivion spells...

But standing in front of him was Dumbledore. Lockhart doubted whether he could succeed. If he failed, he guessed that he would be imprisoned in Azkaban... The panic about the consequences of failure overwhelmed Lockhart's disclosure of the crime. The most critical thing was that he heard Dumbledore's bird call.Finally, he let go of his wand.

Dumbledore had actually been on guard. He once doubted whether the opening of the Chamber of Secrets was related to Lockhart, especially after Lockhart appeared in the kitchen with Harry and Tangning.Dumbledore believed that the person who opened the Chamber of Secrets would not want to find out the location of the Chamber of Secrets early on.

But Fox had a message of safety for him.Dumbledore wondered if he had suspected the wrong person, but Lockhart's behavior just now was too abnormal. Not only did he pull out a bunch of useless things, but he was also about to pull out his wand?

Dumbledore trusted his instincts - something was wrong with Lockhart.

"Gilderoy, I need you to walk in front when we go down to the river later. I will protect you from the unknown dangers around you." Dumbledore stopped and said with a smile.

He directly cast a head soaking charm on Lockhart, which left Lockhart with no reason to evade.
