Chapter 149 Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets Opens!
"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 should 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 capable 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 have one way to do it if he knows their plan.
Report to the professor!
Harry also thought about calling Dumbledore. If it was last year, he would have some confidence. He had suffered so much grievance, but he didn't come forward to clarify.
This made Harry's sensitive heart have a few more other thoughts.
"Okay." At this point, Ron couldn't think of anyone else who could help.
He had no choice but to agree with Harry's suggestion.
It wasn't until the two of them disappeared that Argus walked out of the shadows.
"You don't even know what the monster in the Chamber of Secrets is, but you're rushing over."
"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 talk to you about!"
Lockhart was concentrating on wiping the wand in his hand at the moment, and the sudden voice scared him.
He wanted to get angry, but when he saw that it was Harry, his expression instantly eased.
"What's wrong, Harry?"
"Are you in trouble? If you have trouble, just look for me!"
"As a recipient of the Order of Merlin, third-class medal, honorary member of the Anti-Dark Magic League, and five-time winner..."
"Professor, we found clues about the heir of Slytherin! We need your help!" Harry panted and interrupted 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 remembered 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 weakness was.
Seeing Lockhart's hesitation, he struck while the iron was hot and said: "We don't need to really defeat the Heir of Slytherin or the Monster in the Chamber of Secrets."
"Just hold on for a while, until other professors and Aurors come over!"
"Then why don't you go directly to the Aurors?"
Lockhart wants fame, but it doesn't mean he is stupid.
Harry and Ron didn't go to Professor McGonagall or Headmaster Dumbledore, but came to him, a fake.
Obviously something is fishy!
Ron hurriedly explained: "We want to find the heir of Slytherin in person and prove Harry's identity."
"If other professors knew, they would definitely not let us pass."
Seeing that Lockhart was not moving, Ron became anxious.
"Let's go! If we delay any longer, the professors and Aurors might come over!"
"Wait a minute!"
Perhaps Argus's magic items gave Lockhart confidence, or perhaps Lockhart could not 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 sold him in his hand.
He trotted along with the two to the bathroom on the first floor.
"Are you asking Lockhart to come and deal with the basilisk?"
"Are you really afraid that it won't be full?"
Argus was wearing the Disillusionment Charm and waited for a long time at the door of the bathroom before the three came.
He didn't even hide.
These three people were worse than the other and didn't even notice his ability.
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 toss herself.
The moment she saw Harry, her face changed instantly.
"Let me ask you, how did you die?"
Harry said seriously.
"It was a terrible thing!"
Moaning Myrtle seemed to think of some horrible scene, and her eyes were 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."
"That simple?" Harry couldn't believe it.
What kind of horrible monster can make people die at a glance!
Lockhart and Ron were so frightened that their faces turned pale.
Lockhart, in particular, regretted participating in this action.
"I remember seeing a pair of huge yellow eyes in that sink."
Crying Myrtle pointed to the sink in front of Harry.
Harry looked back at Lockhart and Ron, and stroked the sink with his palm.
Touching the snake pattern on the faucet, his eyes suddenly widened.
"It's here!"
"Ron, I think this is the entrance!"
"Use Parseltongue! Only Parseltongue can open it!" Ron swallowed.
He told Harry to open it, but 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!
There was a rumbling sound!
The whole wash basin retreated backwards, revealing a bottomless black hole!
Lockhart 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.
As a result, Ron behind him got there first.
He kicked him in!
"Ah!!!!"
Lockhart screamed heart-wrenchingly!
With the muffled sound of heavy objects 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 our turn to go down." Ron was relieved when he heard 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 are welcome to share the toilet with me."
Harry's mouth twitched: "Thank... Thank you, Myrtle."
After that, he pulled Ron and jumped into the black hole.
Agus, who had been following behind the others, saw the two jump in.
Confirmed the equipment he was carrying.
Followed the two closely.
The difference is that he would use the levitation spell... He would not fall like the other three.
After passing through the long passage and landing.
A system prompt came to Agus's mind.
