[HP] Seven Nights Talk

As early as when the water monster emerged from the lake, the sound alarmed everyone who should be alarmed.For example, Dumbledore who has been driven down from the eighth floor of the castle, or Hagrid who lives in a hut by the edge of the Forbidden Forest and can see the lake.The rest of the professors were mostly in class, so when they came over, they saw a large group of distraught students gathered by the lake, and Harry, who was soaking wet, was climbing ashore with the help of Ron and Hermione.

"How are you, Harry?" Hagrid ran over a few steps, with a very anxious expression in his tangled beard. "Is there any injury? Do you need me to take you to the school hospital?"

Harry sat on the ground, spitting out some of the black water that was left in his mouth. "I think it should be fine." He replied, his throat was on fire, and he didn't know whether it was because he choked on the water just now or for some other reason.Anyway, he wasn't hurt, he was sure of that.

But apparently no one believed him.Hagrid knelt down and looked at his face.And Dumbledore also bowed his head, reaching out a hand to brush Harry's dripping hair aside. "Hagrid to take you to the school hospital, Harry?"

Harry looked down at himself.It's not a big problem that the clothes are soaked, but what's worse is that what dripped from his body is black blood, sticky, and there is a foul smell.In the eyes of others, this undoubtedly looks like a whole blood man, and of course I don't think he will be fine.But anyone who saw the distance between him and the sharp teeth just now would feel the same as him, the current situation is already very good.

"I..." Harry wanted to say something, but immediately thought of something he should pay attention to: "Where is Professor Lockhart?" What Voldemort did just now is the same thing, the most important thing is the mastermind!What is Lockhart planning to do?Catch them all in Gryffindor?

Hearing this name, Dumbledore's blue eyes flashed a knife-like light. "He's over there," he said. "We'll find out about that, but you'd better go to the hospital hospital first." He stood up and nodded to Hagrid.

Ron and Hermione also advised him to go and have a full body check.Harry had to agree, trying to stand up.It's a pity that his legs are still cramping and he hasn't recovered.Hagrid looked at him worriedly, picked him up simply, and strode towards the castle gate.

In the eyes of others, this is undoubtedly a sign of Harry being overly frightened, but Harry doesn't think so.Hagrid held him just right, and the height immediately increased a lot.He grabbed Hagrid's shoulder and looked back, and saw that several of his classmates were following Hagrid, their faces were pale, and they looked like they needed some tranquilizers.And Dumbledore had stood up again, striding towards Lockhart.The latter stood far away from the shore of the lake, with his hands moving restlessly behind his back.

He didn't escape far?This was Harry's first reaction.Then he recalled that with so many witnesses this time, it was impossible for Lockhart to escape in such a short time.I don't know how he plans to explain to Dumbledore the origin of the water monster and the preparation of this class - they can learn to deal with the water monster, but the professor must at least ensure the students' personal safety, right?Moreover, Lockhart has always asked them to read books in class, and this kind of thing happened suddenly, there must be a reason for doing so...

Harry would have liked to have heard Dumbledore question Lockhart, but they were already at the top of the hill.In the lake, part of the corpse of the water monster was floating limply on the water, like a huge, deflated, tattered bag.

Before dinner, the news spread throughout Hogwarts.Come to think of it, Lockhart got a huge water monster, but in a class accident, he left the students and ran away, almost letting the monster eat the students in a Gryffindor boat.Harry then stepped forward and sent the other three safely back to shore, leaving him to deal with the monster.In the end he succeeded, even with just one spell.

This sounds like a heroic story through and through.Harry is the hero and the water monster is the villain.Then there was Lockhart, who was at least a runaway traitor.

When Ron and Hermione brought Harry dinner, they told him about the reaction of the others.Because they were not like Harry, who was forcefully ordered by Madam Pomfrey to be hospitalized for observation for a day.

"In addition to the savior, you have a new nickname, Harry." Hermione sat on the edge of the bed, watching Harry eat. "Or should I tell you when you're done eating?"

"Why not, Hermione?" Ron retorted.He had been angry when he first saw the water monster, and had turned to panic when Harry threw them all ashore and saw how big the monster was in the lake.Not to mention Harry, all the third graders would probably be eaten!So you can imagine how shocked he was the next moment when he saw the water monster being split in two - the visual effect was so amazing, it looked and sounded like a landslide.They were all thrown back on the shore by the surge when the monster went down, not to mention what Harry faced in the lake - it was definitely more difficult to deal with, no doubt about it.

Based on the above reasons, Ron felt that Harry fully deserved the new nickname. "Harry is indeed the Boy Who Lived, that's the real thing! Even if there is another title of hero, I think it is appropriate! You saved the lives of me, Hermione and Neville!"

Harry was frowning at a piece of veal steak that was still a little bloodshot.He had decided in the shower that he didn't want all the clothes he was wearing, and would probably have a bad taste for anything with blood on it for a long time.Then he heard Ron's words and forced a smile. "It's nothing," he said vaguely, "it's not all my fault." It's fine if he did it from the beginning to the end, but what should he say now?Was that water monster actually killed by Voldemort?They should all thank Voldemort for his hand?

Neither of them took his refusal seriously. "Come on, we know you're being modest, and you don't know what to think when others hear it," said Ron. "You didn't see how big that water monster was when it was dragged out of the lake! You don't need to study it to know that it is an extremely powerful cutting curse! I have never seen one that can do this level!"

Harry's fingers stiffened slightly.The effect of the spell has a lot to do with the individual's magic power and physical state, and of course there are differences.Compared with him, Voldemort must not have the same effect of the spell.Will it be seen as a problem at this point?

"Me too." Hermione nodded this time.Then her next sentence made Harry feel better, because she said: "I heard Professor Flitwick say that in times of crisis, some people will burst out with energy that they can't imagine at ordinary times. You are You narrowly escaped death, Harry, I'm glad you're all right." Her eyes started to steam.

Harry had never had a problem crying with girls, so he quickly changed the subject. "Don't talk about that. Where's Lockhart? Did he say something?" The mastermind behind the scenes was still an accident, so there must be an explanation, right?

Mentioning this, Ron's face suddenly changed. "He said he didn't know," he said angrily, "He said that the horse-shaped water monster was a very gentle creature, and what happened today was a complete accident. Merlin knew, how could an animal with a five-star danger index be classified by the Ministry of Magic?" It becomes a very gentle animal in his mouth!"

"Of course, Dumbledore didn't believe it either. But it seems that the water monster he encountered didn't try to eat him until what happened this afternoon," added Hermione. "Because of this, he was able to bring the monster from Loch Ness to the school unharmed."

"It's a complete lie, if you ask me," Ron asserted firmly. "You should have seen it too? He is definitely shirking responsibility. How could he catch a water monster like this?"

Harry's hand holding the fork froze completely.He suddenly thought that when Voldemort emerged from the lake, the first thing he said was that the water monster was coming for him.He didn't think it at the time, but now it seems to be true.

There is no doubt that there is someone behind Lockhart. That person helped him get rid of the water monster and brought it into the Black Lake.That man's target was him, Lockhart was the instrument in the middle.That is to say, that person couldn't enter Hogwarts, but just used something to lure Lockhart to do things for him.Therefore, what Lockhart may have said was not a lie, but that he only knew so much.

Wondering if the Headmaster could ask the man behind him, Harry thought.No matter what the purpose is, it's impossible for this matter to be good to him.If it was before, his first suspect would definitely be Voldemort, but it is impossible for the other party to be with him this time.Could it be a Death Eater?It should not be possible, and it is certainly impossible for the Death Eaters who escaped from prison to attack Voldemort without his permission.

Who else?Harry was puzzled.Ron thought Lockhart was out of his mind to show off, but Harry felt there must be a deeper reason.

At this moment, Madam Pomfrey came out of her room and asked Ron and Hermione to go back, saying that Harry's visiting hour was up and he had to rest.Harry was glad she had taken the veal steaks, and took the purple dreamless potion from her hand.The potion worked quickly, but he still found a little time to negotiate with Voldemort.Although he was very worried about the last kiss, if the other party didn't mention it, he could just pretend it was just a normal breath-why did you kiss me?How embarrassing to ask!

"Who do you think it could be?" Harry buried his head in the pillow, his back turned to the other curtained beds. "A man who can do Lockhart enough to make him take the risk?"

"There are definitely benefits, but it's not necessarily necessary to take risks." Voldemort answered him, his voice sounding sinister. "Probably that idiot Lockhart made a big fuss."

It seemed Voldemort was leaning toward Lockhart not wanting him dead, Harry thought.Then he felt that the other party's mood seemed to be at the peak of anger, at least he hadn't heard such a bad tone since they came back.It made him swallow the last bit of doubt.After all, if Voldemort really did it, he wouldn't bother to pretend he didn't.

"Lockhart has never been smart," Harry affirmed. "Who the hell could it be?" It was so suspicious, it had never happened before.

Voldemort's voice paused. "No idea. But we have to go to Gringotts sometime, you know."

Harry was feeling a little tired by now.Gringotts?Of course he does. "Have you made an agreement with Bellatrix?" he asked, feeling his head getting heavier and heavier, "Do you think her identity can really enter Gringotts?" This is a fugitive!

"You mean yes." Voldemort said firmly, "You don't have to worry about other things."

Harry also wanted to say that he had just asked a question and hadn't answered yet.But the potion took effect, and the drowsiness surged up, and he fell asleep after opening his mouth.
