Chapter 122

Solim now has a definite goal in mind and is ready to start working on the Animagus, but before that, Solim has one more question that remains unanswered.

"Okay, the Animagus matter is put aside for now, anyway, it's not in a hurry. Solim said, "Evans, I want to ask you something, something related to your work, but I don't know if you know it or not. "

"Oh, what's the matter?"

"You said one of your jobs was to investigate the professor, right? What do you think of Lockhart?"

Solim has always felt that there is something wrong with Lockhart, and he doesn't know if he is really a fool or pretending, after all, Lockhart usually seems to be a person who does not learn and does not know how to do it, but it is undeniable that several things that Lockhart did seem to have indirectly promoted the progress of the secret room incident. For example, the dueling club he made, without this, Harry's Parseltongue would not have been exposed, Harry had not revealed his Parseltongue, and he himself would not have realized that it was the voice of a basilisk coming from inside the wall. There is also the relationship between Hagrid and the Chamber of Secrets that he revealed during class, and it also directly states that Myrtle is the victim of the last Chamber of Secrets, and at that time Harry was at a loss, and Lockhart happened to tell Harry the clues during class, are these all coincidences?

"Lockhart......" Evans smacked his lips, "this is a man who seems to be able to see through at a glance, but if you look at it again, you can't see anything, but how many people will look at him a second time like you?"

"So he's really problematic?"

"That depends on what you say. Evans scratched his head, "Don't think too highly of him, his actual combat ability is indeed a scum, I can pack a ticket for this." But it's hard to say anything else. "

"How?"

"Since you're interested in Lockhart, you should know something about him, right?"

Nodding, Solim began to tell what he knew: "Lockhart is a half-blood, and he has two older sisters, but he is a wizard, he graduated from Ravenclaw, and he had a lot of trouble in school, a bit like the Weasley twins. After graduating, he started to travel the world, and then became a writer, basically one book a year, which is a decent rate of updates. If it's really like you said, his actual combat ability is scummy, then those wonderful adventure stories in his books are fake?"

Solim certainly knew what Lockhart's adventures were all about, but sometimes it was better to pretend to know less.

"The story is true," Evans said, shaking his head, "but people aren't. "

"How?"

"Actually, there are still many people who know the details of Lockhart, just like you said, he was originally from Ravenclaw, and he is still relatively flamboyant, he has a few pounds and a few taels, and his classmates are clear. At the level of Lockhart's graduation, he simply couldn't do the things in his book. "

"So?" said Solim, who continued to play dumbfounded.

"It's highly likely that Lockhart has a deep knowledge of memory magic, which explains the contradictions: why he can do those things despite his scumbag skills. The reason is that he steals the memories of the wizards who actually did these things, and then makes them forget about them, so that the Lord will not trouble him. "

Evans' words may surprise wizards who don't know the truth, but Solim already knew this, and Evans's news would not satisfy Solim.

"What, aren't you happy with this exciting news?" Evans asked, seeing that Solim was calmer.

"Not satisfied. Solim said bluntly, "Maybe you didn't notice some of his movements, I'll help you remember the memories." "

Evans' brow furrowed as he listened to Solim's words, and it was clear that he hadn't noticed what Solim had said. It's like what he had just said to Solim: a lot of people think they see Lockhart at first glance and then don't look at him a second time. I didn't expect that I, who was engaged in intelligence, was also blinded.

Solim didn't say anything, just told Evans a few things that Lockhart had done during the incident in the secret room, and looking at Evans' reaction, it was clear that he hadn't spent any time on Lockhart. Solim wondered if Evans had observed and investigated Lockhart's behavior at school. Otherwise, how could Evans not notice these problems.

"Duel Club...... Well, my attention was on Potter's kid at the time, and I really didn't think about it. Evans rubbed his chin in thought, "As for what he said in his class......

At this, an embarrassed look appeared on Evans' face.

"You should have heard of him even if you only took one of his classes. The things he did in Defence Against the Dark Arts class were acting in dramas or something......" Evans scratched his head in embarrassment, "I didn't focus on him. So I really don't know what he said in class. "

Then Evans looked straight, "But it's like you said, it's a coincidence." Coincidentally, I can't believe I'll find out about it, after all, it's my job. "

"Don't forget to let me know if you have the results of your investigation. Solim stood up, he knew it was time to leave, "I'm interested in Lockhart. "

Evans gave Solim a strange look, "How did you find out something was wrong with Lockhart in the first place?" Seriously, almost everyone thinks of Lockhart as a clown and ignores the past as a matter of course, but how did you notice him?"

"Like I said, I'm more interested in him as a person. "

"It's a weird feeling, it reminds me of my unbearable past......"

"Oh, you mean the time I got caught?" Solim teased.

"Didn't you say you wouldn't mention it?" Evans, who had been poked in the sore spot, yelled at Solim out the door.

Exams or anything is not a problem for Solim, especially the second year, which is not even an entry, the first and second years of Hogwarts are mainly based on magic theory, after all, there are many Muggle-born students here, as for the spell part of the lower grades, it is even more difficult for Solim, and the exam week is easily passed, and then the students are ready to say goodbye to Hogwarts for the time being.

It was during this time that Solim got several pieces of news, both good and bad.

The good news is Elrond, Solim and Sylna's grandfather- The two of them will probably come back at the end of June and the beginning of July, which means that Solim and Sylna can return to Selwyn's castle, although it may not be too easy, but it is better than losing their lives outside, not to mention that Solim is also ready to take Basque away, his own box can fit Basque, but it is a little crowded, and it is better to discuss with Elrond how to settle it when he goes back, he still doesn't know what kind of big treasure his grandson and granddaughter have in his hands, and the news that the basilisk is in Syrna's hands is only known to very few peopleEvans and a few old men in charge of their family would not be stupid enough to leak the news.

As for the bad news...... The Selwyns are going to hold a family assembly this year, and all of Selwyn's descendants and outstanding side branches will gather in Selwyn's castle, except for those with very special duties. In other words, it's a gathering of dark wizards, and while dark wizards don't mean they're bad, their personalities are always twisted - just look at Snape. Solim was ready to be angry.

But that's not the worst of all, what's worse is that Elrond's grandfather's father will also come back this time, that is, Solim's heavenly grandfather - this old fellow, Dumbledore has to call grandpa when he sees it.

How this old monster who had lived for nearly three centuries survived, Solim could figure it out even with his toenails, and there were many families in the Council of Elders who were the beneficiaries of the Philosopher's Stone.

Solim felt that if he did go back this time, he wouldn't be able to hide the basilisk thing. Solim had long been used to being angry at home, and he didn't care about these so-called clansmen, but Sylna was different, as a contract, she was able to control the basilisk's Parseltongue cavity, and then it was revealed that she had a thousand-year-old basilisk...... Solim couldn't imagine what terrible things she would experience in her family.

Solim decided to contact his grandfather as soon as possible to see how things should be handled, and it would be best to make it clear to him in person. Otherwise, just go back and make sure something big happens.
