No!
I can’t find that diary!
According to Ginny, she threw the diary into the girls' bathroom on the third floor in the evening.
She thought it was an abandoned bathroom and no one would be stupid enough to go there.
But Tver searched it from beginning to end and almost turned the entire bathroom upside down.
If he hadn't seen that the drain in the bathroom was relatively narrow, he would have searched the sewer.
As a result, except for the polyjuice potion being brewed by the Harry trio, not to mention the diary, nothing suspicious was found.
As an aside, Polyjuice Potion is an advanced magic potion that only senior students learn. It can completely transform a person into the appearance of other humans. Many fifth- and sixth-grade students may not be able to brew it easily.
It was only the first time for Hermione, who had taught herself by reading books, to brew a pot of polyjuice potion of good quality.
This talent can be said to have surpassed Tver.
After all, most of the potions he learned in Durmstrang were for treating various injuries...
But considering the whereabouts of the Horcrux, Tver couldn't help but feel worried.
Even if the Horcrux continues to control people and wreaks havoc in the castle, Tver won't be worried for a second.
But he was afraid that the Horcrux was hidden, so he even quietly left Hogwarts during the holidays, and it would be difficult to find it by then.
The first person he suspected was Harry.
In the plot, after Ginny lost her diary, it was Harry who picked it up.
It was just that Tver had been observing him for several days, but could not detect anything strange about him.
Except for sneaking into the girls' bathroom frequently, Harry was so well-behaved during this period that even Snape couldn't find a suitable excuse to give him detention.
So during this period of time, Tver, in addition to teaching the strong light spell to second grade students and above, was thinking about the diary.
"Professor Foley?" George Weasley asked bravely.
"Oh."
When Tver came back to his senses, he realized that it was already time for class, and the fourth-grade students were all looking at him impatiently.
"So, let's start today's lesson."
"It's been your third month as a team. How do you feel?" He asked with a smile.
"Except that I can't beat the statue, everything is good." Fred complained with a grimace.
The students on the side could not help but nod in sympathy, looking at Tver with sorrow and indignation.
During this period, their teamwork ability has skyrocketed, and their individual combat effectiveness has also made visible improvements.
But no matter what methods they took and how much progress they made, they still couldn't defeat the chain hammer statue. On the contrary, they were beaten to exhaustion by the statue every time.
Their mood is like riding a roller coaster. The self-confidence that just surged due to their improved strength will be completely destroyed in the next class!
Young minds are constantly hit by such blows, and everyone is almost numb.
Isn’t it just eating, sleeping, and getting knocked away by statues?
Feeling the resentment of the students, Tver quickly waved his wand and summoned the four statues not far away.
From left to right are the sword-holding statue, the halberd statue, the sword-shield statue, and the chain-hammer statue, each separated by 10 feet (3 meters).
"Ahem," he turned the students' attention to the statues, "Don't give up easily. There are four statues for you to deal with today, and I also want you to have a taste of the fun of defeating the statues."
Roger Davis' eyes widened.
"We can't defeat even one of us, and we want to defeat four of us?!"
"Don't worry, there will be a clear strength gap between these four statues. You can start with the weakest one." Tver pointed to the sword-holding statue on the edge.
"After defeating the first one, you can move towards stronger statues, step by step, until you defeat the last statue."
"Also, Christmas is coming, and I will prepare a Christmas gift for everyone who defeats the third statue~"
Tver raised his eyebrows seductively, and the students who were still watching suddenly became excited.
They have been coveting last year's Christmas gifts for a long time, although according to the professor's habit, this year's gifts will probably be little ghost chocolates.
But that's enough!
What's disgusting is that many students who got the gifts last year are reluctant to eat them, and they often show off the chocolates in front of them even after they have expired.
What's even more disgusting is that even if it's expired chocolate, they are extremely envious!
Now they finally have a chance!
With raging fighting spirit in their hearts, they quickly gathered their team and trotted towards the sword-holding statue.
Without Tver's orders, in less than a minute, a neat line was lined up in his surprised eyes.
Professor Foley likes an orderly classroom the most, and they would not displease the professor at this time, the students thought proudly.
The Weasley twins and Cedric relied on their shameless advantage to successfully occupy the first position.
"How are we going to deal with this statue?" George was a little confused.
"Damn it, why are they so friendly and giving us the first place!"
Fred glared angrily behind him, where his classmates were waiting to watch the show.
"It doesn't matter," Cedric said with a confident smile, "If they want to see a demonstration, let them follow us and see how to deal with these statues correctly!"
"Are you ready?" Tver reminded.
"Ready!" the three of them shouted at the same time.
As soon as he finished speaking, the statue in front of him instantly drew his sword.
But faster than him is George!
"Smashed to pieces!"
The red light unfortunately missed the arm, but it also knocked off a large piece of the statue's shoulder and exploded into a fragment.
"The reaction is very slow, and the physical strength is not high!" As the coordinator, Cedric summed up the attack immediately, "Leave the defense to me, Fred restricts his movements, and George attacks his right hand as much as possible!"
The right hand is the sword-holding hand of the statue. As long as this arm is knocked off, the statue will be defeated.
However, the statue would not sit still. Without even looking at the defect on its shoulder, it took two strides and suddenly came to them.
The long sword flexibly swept from right to left, sweeping towards the three of them with a sharp cold wind.
Just the next second, it was hit in the chest by a Obstacle Curse. The whole statue trembled and fell back. The moment it lost its footing, it was hit by a Crushing Curse.
"Snapped!"
This time nearly half of the left arm was broken, but it did not hinder the attack of the right hand at all.
"duang~"
The long sword shattered two layers of iron armor spells and got stuck on the third layer.
The statue also wanted to pull the sword back, but Cedric and Fred would not agree!
"All fixed!"
The moment Cedric briefly froze the sword, a pile of ropes emerged from the ground, messily but firmly entangling the statue.
Without giving the statue time to struggle, George quickly released another crushing spell.
With a sound of "Bang!", the statue's entire right hand was blown away.
"If you can't hit it in this case, then I might as well go home and help my mother knit sweaters."
He pretended to put the tip of the wand to his mouth and blew on it. He heard about it from the professor's Muggle books and thought it was very handsome at the time.
He has long wanted to find an opportunity to show off this pose!
After just playing with it for a long time, two figures flew towards him and instantly overwhelmed him.
"You two bastards-!"
"We defeated the statue for the first time, can't we celebrate?"
"I'm sorry, I just wanted to crush you two brothers."
