Take things as they come at Hogwarts

After dinner, the young wizards came to Professor McGonagall's office to ask for a password, and then to the Headmaster's office.

This time, Locke finally had a chance to come in.

Without saying a word, Locke approached Fox directly and looked at it carefully.

Fawkes was extremely uncomfortable with Locke's view, and it felt that the assimilation in this little wizard was increasing, more and more like a hot sun, which was really worrying.

But now that I'm old, I don't want to care about it.

Wait until you're a freshman and think about it.

Locke watched Fawkes carefully for a moment before leaving disappointed.

It's not because Fox is old and not good-looking. It's that Fawkes is not a phoenix at all, or rather, it is different from the phoenix seen in Locke's dream.

Fawkes, to be precise, should be called the "Immortal Bird". It is somewhat close to the Vermilion Bird in Locke's hometown, which is a kind of phoenix and is biased towards a fire type.

Speaking of which, the Japanese phoenix bird is also a kind of phoenix, which looks colorful and much larger.

That's closer to the phoenix in Locke's dream.

Locke was watching the Phoenix, but he was good at doing two things, and he could keep up with Harry's conversation with Dumbledore.

"I see, I'm amazed at what you've learned! If your guess is correct, ask Harry to speak snake to that faucet, and it should open the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets!" Dumbledore nodded in satisfaction.

He didn't expect the little wizards to come over together today, but this may not be a good thing.

He also wanted to get closer to a few promising young wizards, and by the way, let Fawkes, the Sorting Hat, and the headmasters on the wall take a look at them.

Many of Dumbledore's old buddies had long been curious about Locke.

"So, Mr. Headmaster, are you going to check it out later?, the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets must be an eye-opener for us!" Locke began.

"I'm afraid not, Mr. Chen. I'll do check it out later, but I'll only take Harry with me. After all, there are still basilisks there. If it's just taking care of a little wizard, I'm confident that I'll protect him. But if there is one more, I can't take care of this old man~. Dumbledore saw Locke's idea and rejected him outright.

"Cut...... It's stingy!" Locke muttered quietly.

"Lo, Locke?!" Hermione looked at Locke in disbelief.

Ron and Neville also looked at Locke with the eyes of a monster. The meaning in his eyes was probably how could you be so rude to Dumbledore.

But Dumbledore didn't care, and turned to Harry with a smile: "Harry, would you like to go with me?"

Harry turned to look at Locke, who winked at him, and Harry nodded, "Yes, Professor." "

"Hehe, that's fine. We're not going to do much today, though, Harry. The most important thing is still the dark magic item...... I hope you will keep this matter strictly confidential. If you find any trace of that dark magic item, don't touch it lightly, just notify me or Professor McGonagall as soon as possible, and let us deal with it! From the information we know so far, it can be inferred that the dark magic object may be more dangerous than I thought!"

When Dumbledore heard about the process before and after Myrtle's death, the first thought in his mind was, perhaps, this dark magic item was the legendary Horcrux!

The most vicious and dangerous power-ups that need to kill a person and cut your own soul to complete!

Because Dumbledore's expression was more serious and solemn than ever, the young wizards all nodded obediently. Only Locke didn't know what was coming to mind and began to wander.

The portraits, the Sorting Hat, and Fawkes all began to quietly observe Locke, and Dumbledore acted as if he had not noticed Locke's condition.

At this time, Harry remembered another thing: "Professor, since the truth of the year has been ascertained, is it possible that Hagrid's charges will be cleared?"

"Harry, despite all the evidence so far, Hagrid is innocent. But the Ministry of Magic won't admit its mistakes lightly. However, if we let them see the millennial basilisk or its corpse with their own eyes, perhaps they will revoke Hagrid's punishment. "

"Just to revoke the punishment?" Hermione said in surprise.

"Yes, Miss Granger. Ministry of Magic, you should have a lot of opportunities to get your hands on it in the future. It's not really any better than the Muggle system, as you'll see. What if, when you grow up...... No, it's too early for you. Dumbledore paused.

These little wizards were so good that Dumbledore always had the illusion that they had grown up. But they're only in the second grade.

"Alright, is there anything else you'd like to ask?" Dumbledore looked at the young wizards.

Everyone looked at each other, even Hermione, who had the most questions, couldn't think of anything else at the moment.

But that didn't include Locke, so he suddenly spoke, "Mr. Headmaster, is Fox a male or a female?

Locke's words made the headmaster's room quiet for a few seconds, and then Fawkes, despite his old age and declining health, was about to fly off the shelf to flap Locke with his wings, but was naturally stopped by Mr. Headmaster in time.

"Mr. Chen, as you can see, I think, this involves Fox's privacy, so, I'm sorry I can't tell you!"

"'It's a shame that we're gone. Harry, would you like to accompany us back to the dorm to get the Invisibility Cloak before we go on an adventure with Mr. Headmaster?" Locke asked.

"That's a good idea, Harry, and I'll be waiting for you at the door of your common room. Dumbledore laughed.

Harry nodded in agreement. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Then the young wizards went back to the common room together, and then sprayed Harry with a deodorizing potion, and Locke asked Harry to bring a small bag of bird snakeskin, and Locke even filled Harry with a small bottle of vitality tonic to make sure he was in perfect condition.

That was the way they let Harry go.

Originally, Locke wanted Harry to bring his Light Wheel 2000 with him, just stuff it into a small bag anyway, but Harry refused.

He felt that with Dumbledore by his side, none of this was necessary.

Locke thought about it and thought so. []

Both Dumbledore and Fawkes could apparition Harry at will, much faster than a broomstick.

Harry and Dumbledore left together, while Locke and the others chose to wait in the common room.

Ron was happy that his and Harry's confinement had been lifted due to their team's huge contribution to school safety.

Otherwise, one of them would now be suffering in the prize showroom, and the other would be suffering in Lockhart's office.

Filch didn't care about this decision, he wanted to stay away from Harry's friends now.

Lockhart, on the other hand, was in a difficult situation.

But his arms can't twist his thighs.

If Dumbledore hadn't interceded for him, he might have been invited to tea by now by Lucius in the Law Enforcement Division of the Ministry of Magic.

After all, he has a lot of small problems.

If all the contents of his book are true, then he has violated hundreds of laws issued by the Ministry of Magic.

However, he is more worried now not that there is no one to help him reply to fans, but that he has now become a joke price at Hogwarts!

He scratched his head in his office, meditating, hoping to find a way to save his reputation.

Hopefully, he'll make it.
