Gin and Lisha

Harry bid farewell to Draco with a heavy heart, and didn't care about bickering with his rival, and went to the restricted section of the library wearing the invisibility cloak left by his father.

This time, what he was looking for had nothing to do with the Chamber of Secrets, but something to do with transfiguration-he was looking for the possibility of keeping a person in the form of a snake for a long time, or imprisoning a person's soul in an animal. method.

Harry was already sure that the pet snake was absolutely inseparable from Slytherin, not to mention that the snake was originally a symbol of Slytherin House, the snake alone had an extraordinarily airy expression when talking about the heir of Slytherin, Even if it wasn't raised by Slytherin himself, it was most likely raised by the Slytherin heir.

This can explain why a snake knows so many things and behaves smarter than humans.

After searching for a long time, Harry found to his dismay that, apart from Animagus, there seemed to be no other way for a person to maintain the form of a snake for a long time.But that snake didn't look like an Animagus, because in the long-term relationship, Harry found that although it was a female snake, its thoughts were very masculine!

For the rest, I can only find the answer from soul magic...

Harry stayed up most of the night, and his energy was almost exhausted. He dozed off while turning the pages of the book, his head fluttering a little bit. Obviously he was extremely sleepy, but he still stubbornly didn't want to give up.

"Is there anything to cheer you up..." Harry fumbled in his pocket slowly, and then casually took out a piece of worn parchment.

Marauder map.

This is something that my father and his good friends made together, and you can see all the people in the castle, as well as various secret passages.

Harry opened it with the purpose of refreshing himself, and muttered: "I'll just see, who else stays up this late like me..."

Then, he saw a moving name.

Obviously, there are also people who don't go to bed so late.

"Lockhart?" Harry frowned, "How could he walk out of the castle at this time? Wait a minute, isn't that direction Hagrid's hut..."

has a problem!

Harry's intuition told him so, and he immediately put the book in front of him back to its original place, grabbed his cloak and lantern and rushed towards Hagrid's cabin.

Because he was in such a hurry that he didn't notice that on the parchment, in the restricted-book area, besides Harry Potter, there was still a name: Nagini (Tom Marvolo ) Riddle).

Harry put on the Invisibility Cloak and ran quickly. When he arrived at Hagrid's hut, Lockhart was still standing outside the hut, rubbing his hands, as if he wanted to open the door, but his hands were trembling a little, so that his "alahoo hole" opened. "I failed three times.

A surge of anger exploded from his chest, Harry almost lifted his cloak and questioned Lockhart, as a professor, what was he trying to do with this sneaky look!

Unexpectedly, someone was one step faster than him.

"Professor Lockhart, what are you doing here?" The boy's clear voice came from behind Lockhart, who almost fell to the ground in fright, and his face turned pale.

"Who? Huh..." Lockhart gasped for a few breaths, and after seeing that it was Shenshui Lixia, he slowly stood up and smiled as if maintaining his demeanor, "Ah, it's Little Clearwater, it's so late You don't sleep in your dormitory? Points are deducted for the Castle Night Walk, and as a professor, I guess I'll have to deduct points from Ravenclaw House..."

"Professor, before you deduct points, can you tell me why you are here?" Shenshui Lixia interrupted Lockhart, preventing him from actually deducting points from his college, "I guess , are you here to steal from Hagrid?"

"What? No, I'm a gentleman. I won the most charming smile award five times. How could I steal other people's things?" Lockhart smiled stiffly.

Harry almost laughed out loud too, seeing Lockhart being caught like this was enough to be the butt of his jokes for a whole year.

"But the Alahuo Cave you opened just now was really good, Professor." Shenshui Lixia blinked and said.

"I'm... it's because I left something at Hagrid's place during the day, that's it." Lockhart twitched his lips, expecting to use this clumsy lie to trick Sham Shui Li, who was only in the second year. Xia, but he himself knew that it might not work.

Sure enough, Shenshui Lisha showed a puzzled expression: "You can just knock on the door. There is no way that Hagrid will not return your things on purpose, Professor."

"It's never a good thing for a child to know too much." Lockhart smiled dangerously. "I have to say sorry to you, child, you shouldn't have seen me here. Forget it— —”

The tip of his staff pointed to Deep Water Lisha.

"No, don't think about it!" Harry slammed into Lockhart quickly.

The wand that was casting a spell tilted, and unfortunately landed on Lockhart's own head, only to hear a loud "bang", Lockhart was hit by his own magic, and unfortunately hit a stone, Life or death is unknown.

"Harry?" Theoretically, Lisha Shenshui cannot see Harry. Although he has anger perception and can judge Harry's position, his anger is still a secret right now, so he pretends not to "see" Harry , can only be judged by listening to the sound.

Harry lifted the cloak of invisibility: "Lisha! Why did you suddenly appear here?"

"Oh, I've been following Professor Lockhart." Shenshui Lixia smiled at him, "He's been abnormal all day today, always holding his own portrait and talking to himself. I fought with my classmates Bet, they say that Lockhart is out of his mind, I think he is planning some kind of conspiracy..."

Shenshui Lixia glanced at Harry, thinking that he should be able to hear hints of this level, right?

Then he continued to play his acting skills: "Then I waited until the evening, Lockhart locked himself in the office after dinner, but I secretly heard him seem to be talking to someone through the door, I was more sure He wanted to do something bad, maybe night is his time to act, so I didn't go back until curfew, just waiting for him to come out."

"And do you know what Lockhart really wants?" Harry asked.

Deepwater Lisha shrugged: "I don't know, maybe he wanted to steal Hagrid's umbrella? We all know that his wand is hidden inside, maybe Lockhart found this and wanted to claim credit by reporting Hagrid? "

"It's possible..." said Harry angrily, "Lockhart is such a nuisance!"

"I'm miserable now!" Shenshui Lixia pretended to be distressed, "Just now he got 'Forgotten', right? Tomorrow he might have to go to St. Mungo's because of mental problems, then I The bet with my classmates is doomed! I bet 5 Galleons!"

"Uh... sympathy for you." Harry sneered.

"Forget it, I'll take this guy to the medical wing first, you'd better go in and tell Hagrid to be careful in the future, and don't let people with malicious intentions discover that 'secret'." Shenshui Lixia told him explain.

Harry nodded in response, and watched Deepwater Lisha take Lockhart away with the levitation technique, while he sat on the stone steps in front of the hut and began to think.

Lockhart, portrait, report, Hagrid...

It's true that Lockhart is very narcissistic, but would he be so narcissistic that he would mutter to his own portrait all day long?

Some portraits can indeed communicate with people, but they need to infuse a lot of magic and their own consciousness. Ordinary photos are just pictures that can move.But there is no rule that Lockhart cannot enter Hogwarts with a portrait with the ability to communicate, and he brought a lot of autographed photos and personal biographies, and mixed a well-tuned and taught portrait into it , isn't it easy?

Harry suddenly remembered that not long ago, when he was admitted to the hospital wing, Lockhart had sent many signed books and photos!

Who was in the medical wing at that time?

Dobby the house-elf, and Sirius!

Yes, Sirius!

Lockhart's portrait met Sirius, knew he was an Animagus, and was hiding in Hagrid's cabin!That's why this guy sent the portrait out to investigate, repeatedly made sure that he and Sirius were acting separately, and then sneaked into Hagrid's cabin at night, trying to catch Sirius!

He did this either to please Fudge, or to show off, or both!

After all, Fudge still refused to revoke the arrest warrant for Sirius until now, and recently Sirius has been in the limelight, completely suppressing Lockhart, Lockhart must be very unwilling.

As student Lisha said, Lockhart was planning a big move, but it wasn't aimed at Hagrid.

Fortunately, fortunately, they ended up destroying Lockhart's plot, and his godfather was almost exposed!

Harry was still terrified, and at this moment, the big black dog, which was startled by the movement at the door, poked its head out and "barked" strangely.

Harry immediately went up and hugged the big dog, and buried his head in its soft fur: "Padfoot, we were almost exposed..."

"What's the matter, Harry?" The big dog turned back into a handsome man, and regardless of the possibility that a snoring Hagrid might see him in the room, he held his godson in his arms and asked eagerly, "What happened?" What's wrong?"

Harry described the thrilling scenes to Sirius tonight.

"You mean, Lockhart knew about my time at Hogwarts through the portrait?" Sirius barely suppressed the desire to go to the hospital wing and beat Lockhart up, thinking through gritted teeth, the green The snake obviously knew about it, too, but it just stood by and waited to see his joke!

The Dark Lord really can't be trusted!
