Chapter 149
The two of them were very close.
"What? Lockhart!"
Ron looked disgusted when he heard the name.
"What's his ability? He can't even deal with a Cornish elf."
"It's better to ask Percy to deal with the monster in the Chamber of Secrets!"
"He can make Snape suffer, so he must have some ability, at least much better than the two of us!"
Harry agreed with Ron, but he also knew that apart from Lockhart, they couldn't find anyone else who could help.
There are many powerful students in Hogwarts, such as Argus, Percy, Amiri Carrow, Penelope, etc.
But none of them can be called by the two of them.
Even Percy, who is the closest to them, will only do one thing if he knows what they are planning.
Report to the professor!
Harry also thought of calling Dumbledore. If it was last year, he would have been more confident. He had suffered so much injustice, but he had not come forward to clarify.
This made Harry's sensitive heart have a few more thoughts.
"Okay." At this point, Ron couldn't think of anyone else who could help.
Helplessly, he had to agree with Harry's suggestion.
It wasn't until the two figures disappeared completely that Argus walked out of the shadows.
"You don't even know what the monster in the Chamber of Secrets is, but you're in a hurry to go there."
"It's really the style of Gryffindor."
...
Harry and Ron went all the way to the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor's office.
Pushed the door open!
"Professor Lockhart, we have something urgent to find you!"
Lockhart was concentrating on wiping the wand in his hand at the moment, and the sudden voice scared him.
He wanted to be angry, but when he saw that it was Harry, his expression instantly eased.
"What's wrong, Harry?"
"Are you in trouble? If you are in trouble, just look for me!"
"As a recipient of the Order of Merlin, third-class medal, an honorary member of the Anti-Dark Arts League, and five-time winner of..."
"Professor, we found clues about the heir of Slytherin! We need your help!" Harry gasped, interrupting Lockhart's endless introduction.
Me? Help?
What should I help you with? Is it to solve the monster in the Chamber of Secrets, or the heir of Slytherin?
Do you think so highly of me?
Do you really think of me as a professor?
Lockhart forced a smile: "I... I remember that I still have some things to deal with."
"Why don't you go find Professor Dumbledore, or..."
"Professor Lockhart! You are the one who defeated Professor Snape. If you can solve the monster in the Chamber of Secrets this time, the Lockhart series will have another bestseller!"
Harry followed Lockhart to deal with the letters for so long, and he knew very well what Lockhart's weaknesses were.
Seeing Lockhart's hesitation, he said, "We don't need to really defeat the Heir of Slytherin or the Monster of the Chamber of Secrets."
"Just hold on for a little longer until other professors and Aurors come!"
"Why don't you go directly to the Aurors?"
Lockhart wants fame, but that doesn't mean he's stupid.
Harry and Ron didn't go to Professor McGonagall or Headmaster Dumbledore, but came to him, a fake.
Something is obviously fishy!
Harry took a deep breath: "I want to find the Heir of Slytherin myself to prove my identity."
"If other professors knew, they would definitely not let me go."
Seeing that the two were not moving, Ron became anxious.
"Let's go! If we delay for a while, maybe the professors and Aurors will come!"
"Wait a minute!"
Perhaps Argus's magic item gave Lockhart confidence, or perhaps Lockhart couldn't resist the temptation of fame.
He took the cloak from the hanger and put it on.
He put his wand behind his waist and held the wand that Argus had sold him.
He trotted along with the two to the bathroom on the first floor.
"Are you asking Lockhart to deal with the basilisk?"
"Are you really afraid that it won't have enough to eat?"
Argus, wearing the Disillusionment Charm, waited for a long time at the door of the bathroom before the three came.
He didn't even try to hide.
These three were weaker than the other and didn't realize his ability at all.
As soon as Harry and Ron entered the bathroom, they shouted at the top of their lungs.
"Moaning Myrtle! Where are you!"
"We have something to ask you!"
"What's your name... Oh, hello, Harry!" Moaning Myrtle came out of the toilet and just wanted to see who was staying up late at night to torment her.
Her face changed instantly when she saw Harry.
"Let me ask you, how did you die?"
Harry said seriously.
"That was a
Horrible thing!"
Crying Myrtle seemed to have thought of some horrible scene, her eyes full of fear.
"Everything happened here, in this toilet."
"Because Olive took my glasses, I could only hide here and cry."
"Suddenly I heard someone walk in."
"Who was it?" Harry asked.
"I didn't see it, I was sad, but he seemed to speak some strange language."
"He recognized it was a boy's voice and just opened the door to let him leave."
"Then I died."
"It's that simple?" Harry couldn't believe it.
What kind of horrible monster can make people die at a glance!
Lockhart and Ron next to him were so scared that their faces turned pale.
Especially Lockhart, who regretted participating in this action.
"I remember that I saw a pair of huge yellow eyes in that washbasin. "
Crying Myrtle pointed to the sink in front of Harry.
Harry looked back at Lockhart and Ron, and stroked the sink with his palm.
When he touched the snake pattern on the faucet, his eyes widened suddenly.
"It's here!"
"Yes, Ron, I think this is the entrance!"
"Use Parseltongue! Only Parseltongue can open it!" Ron swallowed.
While telling Harry to open it, his body unconsciously retreated to the back.
Harry opened his mouth in Parseltongue, and a terrifying hissing sound came out of his mouth.
The next second, the sink suddenly opened!
It made a rumbling sound!
The whole wash basin retreated backwards, revealing a bottomless black hole!
Lockhart only took a look and felt dizzy.
"Good job, Harry, I feel relieved now."
"I shouldn't be needed here, right? "
"I'll call the Aurors and other professors..."
Before he finished speaking, Lockhart was ready to run back.
But Ron behind him got there first.
He kicked him in!
"Ah!!!!"
Lockhart screamed heartbreakingly!
With the muffled sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, Ron glanced at Harry and humbly put his head into the black hole.
"Professor Lockhart, how is it down there?"
"Down there... so dirty... ugh!"
"Okay, Harry, it's time for us to go down." Ron was relieved to hear that Lockhart was fine.
He pulled Harry and was about to jump in.
"Harry!" The crying Myrtle suddenly spoke with a shy look on her face.
"If you die down there, you're welcome to share the toilet with me."
Harry's mouth twitched: "Thank... Thank you, Myrtle. "
After saying that, he pulled Ron and jumped into the black hole.
Yags, who had been following behind the others, saw the two jump in.
He checked the equipment he was carrying.
Followed the two closely.
The difference was that he would use the levitation spell... He would not fall like the other three.
After passing through the long passage, the moment he landed.
A system prompt came from Yagus's mind.
