Chapter 147 Slytherin’s doubts (fourth update, please subscribe)
Lockhart's office at night.
A sparking portal quietly emerged.
Then, Lockhart stepped forward, followed by a basilisk.
After closing the portal, Lockhart frowned slightly and looked at the basilisk that still looked a bit huge.
Through the contract, he signaled the other party to shrink his body again.
Although Lockhart sensed the grievance coming from the basilisk, the basilisk was still shrinking under his own compulsion.
Directly reduce the size of an ordinary snake.
Seeing this, Lockhart nodded with satisfaction.
But in the face of the basilisk's constant feelings of grievance, he thought for a while and comforted him a few words, saying that he would provide a large number of flesh and blood of magical creatures later.
The basilisk finally calmed down.
At the same time, Gugu, who had fallen asleep, was also woken up.
"Gu Gu."
The scene of the basilisk's huge body gradually shrinking came into view.
Therefore, at this moment, Gugu's face was full of fear, he flapped his wings and teleported to Lockhart's shoulder.
At the same time, he flapped his wings, covered his eyes, shivered, and clung to Lockhart's neck, as if looking for a sense of security.
Lockhart felt Gugu's reaction, and the corners of his mouth curled up, as if he had thought of something.
However, feeling Gugu trembling all over, he quickly conveyed the message of safety to comfort it.
"Hiss."
At the same time, Lockhart also saw that the basilisk kept spitting out snake messages, and there was something wrong with the look in Gugu's eyes, and there was also some helplessness in his eyes.
He quickly signaled to the basilisk that this is not food. Gugu is his pet and your future friend, so he cannot eat it.
After a lot of trouble, he finally got these two magical creatures in place.
Gugu also stood on the desk, carefully watching the basilisk swimming on the ground.
The basilisk, because it couldn't eat, didn't even look at Gugu, and was ready to find a shady place to rest.
Its owner told him that after it took a nap, there would be a big meal for him to enjoy tomorrow.
At this moment, Lockhart was sitting on his desk, carefully recalling the issues he had just exchanged with the Slytherin portrait.
Slytherin uses horcruxes.
This is a bit unexpected from Lockhart, but after thinking about it, it makes sense.
Although Slytherin was one of the four founders of Hogwarts, his reputation as a dark wizard has been passed down to this day.
Isn't it normal for a top dark wizard to use a Horcrux?
Maybe Voldemort's use of Horcruxes was also influenced by Slytherin.
Thoughts kept popping up in his mind, and Lockhart carefully weighed the impact of the fact that Slytherin was still alive.
Although the other party is just a Horcrux, for a top dark wizard, as long as the soul still exists, it does not mean complete death.
As he thought, the corners of Lockhart's lips curled up, and he thought of a good plan.
Slytherin Chamber of Secrets, deep stone chamber.
Lockhart watched as the figure disappeared.
Slytherin frowned in the portrait.
What's going on?
Is Hogwarts' anti-Apparition ineffective?
You know, when I was setting up the secret room, I even took precautions against the goblin's teleportation spell. How could someone teleport away through space in front of him?
What happened in the wizarding world?
What's going on with the so-called new magic system?
Could it be that Lockhart made all this up?
Thinking again of the way Lockhart left, Slytherin slowly shook his head.
It’s impossible to say it’s all false, but it should be half true and half false.
However, as Lockhart's series of performances in the Stone Chamber came to mind, Slytherin was speechless.
I just wanted to understand the current situation of the wizarding world through my memory, but the other party's series of distrustful actions broke Slytherin's heart.
He is the founder of Hogwarts, could he possibly be plotting against his own students?
If you really want to do something dirty.
The little wizard who came in last time had already taken action.
Well, it stands to reason that the little wizard should have grown up now, and he should not be young anymore.
I just don’t know how it is developing recently.
You can ask next time.
He remembered that the other person's name seemed to be Tom Riddle.
While thinking, Slytherin closed his eyes again and fell into a deep sleep.
Although I am a little curious about the new magic system mentioned by Lockhart.
But he is not in a hurry, as long as Hogwarts still exists, he can live forever.
You can definitely get what you want to know in the middle.
It's just sooner or later.
And when Hogwarts fell, he was the last line of defense.
The next day, at noon, Hogwarts cafeteria.
A group of little wizards enjoyed a delicious lunch at the dining table.
They chatted while eating, and from time to time they looked at Professor Lockhart who was sitting in front of him eating.
"The world is changing so fast. Yesterday, it was said that Professor Lockhart's research results shocked the whole world. Today, it is said that Professor Lockhart's research is risky and may even be fraudulent."
A fifth-year Ravenclaw student said with emotion.
"I support Professor Lockhart. Besides, it's not like we don't know who Rita Skeeter is. She makes up fake news all day long." A female Ravenclaw student said: "Besides, we don't know who Rita Skeeter is. Professor Lockhart is so handsome, how could he lie to others?"
"."
"Did you see Professor Lockhart's expression? He seems to be in a bad mood." A Gryffindor female voice said to her boyfriend.
"No, are you mistaken?" The boyfriend next to him raised his head, looked at Professor Lockhart eating with relish, and continued: "I don't think Professor Lockhart is unhappy."
"You read it wrong. Professor Lockhart was scolded in the newspaper today. He must be in a bad mood?"
Seeing his girlfriend say with certainty, the boy felt a little lonely.
He knew that his girlfriend had always idolized Lockhart.
But he didn't expect that just a negative report about Professor Lockhart would arouse his girlfriend to be so sensitive. She seemed to have never cared about him so much.
"."
"Harry, this Rita Skeeter is so hateful." Ron took a bite of the chicken leg and said viciously: "We have all practiced the meditation method, and the effect is very good."
"It's only been a few days. Since practicing meditation, I feel much better."
Harry looked at Ron who was mumbling, and nodded in agreement. He had also practiced the meditation method, and the effect was indeed good.
However, he felt that Ron's state seemed to have nothing to do with the meditation method, and was simply aroused by the magic bracelet.
Of course, it could also be an illusion.
"."
At this moment, Lockhart was enjoying today's feast. The house elves of Hogwarts made another delicacy based on their own recipes.
suddenly!
"Lockhart, I read the report on Rita Skeeter. It's not worth getting angry with such a person."
Professor Sprout next to him comforted Lockhart.
Next to Professor Sprout's table, there is a newspaper, which is today's Daily Prophet.
It says:
"Do you really believe an explorer who says he has created world-shaking achievements? - Rita Skeeter."
There are two more updates in the evening, one for the leader, one at 6 o'clock and one at 8 o'clock.
