Chapter 154 Is Harry going to become an idiot?
"I know that for Harry and Ron, even if the Basilisk is pinned, it's still not something they can handle."
"Using magic will have minimal effect on the basilisk."
"So use the thunderbolt explosion to knock down the stone pillars on the top of the basilisk, and use these stone pillars to effectively deal damage to the basilisk."
"The basilisk was hit by a stone pillar and became motionless. Because I was too far away at the time, I couldn't tell whether it was dead or alive. Fortunately, Harry and the others weren't too stupid and didn't move towards the basilisk."
"Originally, the matter has ended here, and Harry and Ron have also said they want to leave."
"Unexpectedly, Lockhart had been pretending to be unconscious. When the two of them relaxed their vigilance, he used the Oblivion Curse on them."
"By the time I reacted, it was already too late."
Argus could see what Dumbledore wanted to ask, but he didn't say anything due to the presence of Professor McGonagall.
So I explained it in advance.
"If Professors Dumbledore and McGonagall don't believe it, they can examine Lockhart's wand."
"Lockhart was about to leave after casting the Forgetting Curse on the two of them, but the basilisk didn't die. He was just knocked unconscious and bitten by the basilisk."
"I think you can all guess what happens next, and Fox can prove it for me."
Argus's words were 90% true and 100% false, except for the truth about Lockhart's death and the fact that Harry and Harry were cast the Oblivion Curse, which slightly changed.
Everything else is basically true.
He looked at the tattered wizard robe on his body, and his meaning was obvious.
I did try my best, but I didn’t have enough strength, so you can’t blame me.
Dumbledore was silent for a while.
He didn't find any loopholes in Yagus's words.
Even if it were another professor, he might not be able to do better than him.
"How are Harry and the others?"
There was no fluctuation in Professor Cat's words, but Dumbledore had known her for many years.
It was immediately obvious that Professor McGonagall was very dissatisfied with her actions!
It's just that because Yagus was present and he interacted with her, he didn't show it directly.
He sighed.
"The situation is not good. Lockhart's Oblivion Curse may have damaged their brains."
"Snape is guarding them at St. Mungo's, working with the doctors to find a cure."
"I'll go take a look with you and come back before dawn." Professor McGonagall was worried about the two of them and looked at Argus.
"Take Mr. Grindelwald with you, he needs to be checked too."
Without saying anything, Dumbledore used Fawkes to take the two of them to St. Mungo's Hospital.
As soon as Argus opened his eyes, he saw Harry and Ron on the hospital bed.
At this time, the two of them had woken up from their coma, but something looked wrong with their empty and confused eyes.
Damn it, Harry can't really become a fool!
Now the fun is great!
When Argus turned his head, Snape was standing next to him with a long face.
No wonder.
As promised, I will work hard for you and you can protect Harry.
As a result, he became a fool in the blink of an eye!
Play!
Yagus, who was the driving force behind the scenes, had no guilt about this.
What he promised Dumbledore was just to protect Harry's life, not to prevent him from being harmed.
As for Harry... I don't owe him anything, so why should I be his nanny?
Just because he has a heavenly eye on his forehead?
"Mr. Grindelwald, please go check it out with the doctor at St. Mungo's Hospital first."
Dumbledore's voice woke Argus from his trance.
Professor McGonagall patted his shoulder comfortingly: "Don't be sad, Argus, this is not your fault."
"You've done a great job."
"Does this matter have anything to do with Mr. Grindelwald?" Snape cast a dangerous look at Argus.
Professor McGonagall immediately stood in front of Argus.
"Principal Dumbledore and I will explain this to you later."
After several doctors came to take Argus for examination, Professor McGonagall signaled Dumbledore with his eyes to send the doctors and nurses away.
It wasn't until there were only three of them left in the ward, plus the two semi-paralyzed young wizards Harry and Ron, that Lockhart's body was taken out from the traceless extended pocket.
"I examined the body of Professor Gilderoy Lockhart before coming here."
"It's consistent with Mr. Grindelwald's statement. He was subjected to a disarming curse, and his fatal injuries were a puncture wound to his chest and venom in his body."
"I also brought his wand back. If you want to use the flashback spell to check it, you need to prepare it in advance."
As early as in the cave, Argus had recycled the wand and cloak he sold to Lockhart in advance.
Now Professor McGonagall has only Lockhart's wand.
"What... happened...!" Snape's face was gloomy and scary as he spoke one word at a time.
His eyes were fixed on Dumbledore.
Dumbledore sighed and briefly recounted what Argus had told him in the principal's office.
After hearing this, Snape's face became even colder.
"Let two second-year wizards take a parallel importer to deal with the basilisk!"
"Let another second-year wizard protect you."
"The principal is really thoughtful in his work!"
Dumbledore knew that he was in the wrong and had nothing to say about Snape's eccentricity.
Professor McGonagall stepped forward to ease the atmosphere: "What we have to consider now is how to cure Mr. Potter and Mr. Weasley."
"As for the secret room, I think the Aurors will notice it tonight."
“You have to think about countermeasures in advance.”
The room fell silent.
Snape stepped forward and examined Lockhart's body carefully.
But Yagus did it very cleanly, leaving no clues.
Only the disarming spell was used on Lockhart from beginning to end.
After checking, he stood up.
Snape asked: "Has the heir to the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets been found?"
"And Mr. Arthur Weasley and Mrs. Molly, what should I tell them?"
Silence is still silence.
Dumbledore also had a headache about this problem for a long time.
The Weasley family was his die-hard loyalists, yet this happened under his nose.
Or because of my own mistakes!
How can he explain this?
Even if Arthur and Mrs. Molly didn't say anything, they would definitely have opinions in their hearts.
Similarly, the Slytherin heir also needs an explanation.
What's the use of finding only monsters but no people?
Who knows if he will bring out a few more terrifying magical animals in the future?
Won't something happen to Hogwarts by then?
After a while, Dumbledore spoke in a tired voice.
"Let me think about these two things carefully."
"Wait a minute, I'm going to go find my old friends and see if they can deal with Harry and Ron's problem."
"Mr. Grindelwald, please let him have more tests at St. Mungo's Hospital."
"We've already had two students with problems and we can't have a third."
