Chapter 70: Different Lockhart

"咚咚咚"
Harry and Ron stood in front of Lockhart's office, staring at each other, and then Harry reached for the office door.
I soon heard a "Please come in".
The two turned the door and opened the door.
In the office, Lockhart was sitting leisurely behind his desk, flipping through a thick book. Harry glanced subconsciously. It was a close-up autobiography of Loha-"The Magical Me".
哦 "Oh ... Mr. Potter, Mr. Weasley," he said, looking at Harry and Ron. "Come to me so late, is it important?"
"Yes, professor. We have something to tell you," Harry said. "We think it will help you."
"Of course! Of course ... come on, sit down and talk slowly." Lockhart stood up and pulled Harry and Ron to the seat next to each other. They waited until they were both seated and continued. I listen! "
"It's like this ..."
Harry explained the information and corresponding speculations he and Ron had obtained from the note, and Ron added a few words beside him from time to time. Although the narrative process is a bit messy, at least one key point is not missing.
When they were finished, Lockhart nodded.
"Really good reasoning, who could have imagined that the secret room would be hidden in a girl's washroom for a long time in disrepair!" Lockhart smiled as usual, but the smile seemed so stiff.
是 "Yeah! That's incredible, but I care more about my sister!" Ron said impulsively.
"Ah, indeed! That thing-really unfortunate." Lockhart said, "I think saving people is the most important thing, just as you guys brought good news!"
"Go now?" Ron looked a little excited.
"Yes, of course! Go now!" Lockhart nodded decisively.
"I'll go too!" Ron answered immediately.
I can say that when encountering something related to his sister, everyone in the Weasley family is in this desperate look. To be honest, Ron is now very different from his usual atrophy.
Colohat shook his head.
"No, I don't think I can let students take risks. This is my job." He was righteous.
Harry looked aside and looked at Lockhart, always feeling that his image was not the same as before.
教授 "Professor Lockhart," Harry suddenly said, "I think we have to go, Ginny is taken away, and neither Ron nor I can settle down and wait here."
哦 "Oh-" Lockhart showed a embarrassed expression, hesitated for a while, but finally agreed.
你们 "You can go, but you have to be careful," he said. "Remember, close your eyes whenever there is movement, and give me the Basilisk to deal with it."
After speaking, Lockhart took Harry and Ron and hurried to Myrtle's bathroom.
They walked down the nearest staircase, walked through the dim corridor with the words on the wall, and came to the door of the crying Myrtle's bathroom.
Lockhart immediately walked ahead, and opened the bathroom door without hesitation.
My crying Myrtle is sitting on the water tank in the innermost toilet bowl.
"Oh, it's you," she saw Harry behind Lockhart, and sobbed, "what do you want this time?"
"I want to ask how you died," Harry said.
Suddenly My Tao's whole expression changed suddenly. It seemed that no one had ever asked her such a question that made her feel honored.
"Ouch, it's terrible," she said with relish. "It happened here. I died in this toilet. I remember it very well. At the time, Oliver Humbe laughed at me with glasses like four eyes Dog, I hid here. I locked the door and wept inside, and suddenly I heard someone coming in ... their words were funny, I think it must be another language! "
"But the thing that annoys me the most is that I heard a boy's voice saying live! So I opened the door, scolded him to go away, went to my boys' toilet, and-"
Myrtle Myrtle thought she held her chest up, and her face glowed, "I'm dead."
怎么 "How did you die?" Harry asked.
"I don't know," Myrtle lowered mysteriously, "I only remember seeing a pair of scary yellow eyes. My whole body seemed to be grabbed, and then I drifted away ..."
She looked at Harry with a grim expression.
后来 "Later I came back. You know, I was looking for Oliver Humbey to settle accounts. Oh-she regrets mocking me for wearing glasses."
"Where the did you see those yellow eyes?" Harry asked.
"It's almost there," said Myrtle, pointing vaguely to the sink in front of her. Harry and Ron hurried over.
Lockhart followed, and looked carefully.
The sink looks normal. They checked it inside and out, up and down, and didn't even let down the water pipes.
Then Harry saw—a small snake carved on the side of a copper faucet.
"This faucet never comes out of water." Myrtle said happily when she saw Harry trying to unscrew the faucet.
哈 "Harry," Lockhart said suddenly, "you try to speak to it, use a jerk."
是 "Yes, Harry, try it!" Ron followed.
"But—" Harry desperately recalled his past experiences, but such things could not be achieved by memories.
Before, he always talked about a snake when facing a real snake.
Harry stared at the carved snake, trying to imagine it as a real snake.
"Open." He said.
He looked up at Ron and Lockhart, but Ron shook his head.
"No, you are talking about people." He said.
Harry turned to look at the snake again, forcing himself to believe that it was alive. Harry thought that if he shook his head a few times, the swaying candlelight would make the snake look as if it were moving.
"Open." He could not help but shake his head.
However, Ron and Lockhart didn't hear the sentence—a strange hissing sound came from his mouth.
Lockhart kept staring at Harry's mouth, wondering what he was thinking.
Suddenly, the dragon's hair gave out a dazzling white light and began to spin quickly. Then, the sink also moved.
They watched the pool slowly disappear from their sight, and a very thick water pipe was exposed underneath. It was more than enough for one person to enter.
Harry heard Ron take a breath.
"I think," Lockhart also looked at the entrance of the water pipe, and said quietly, "It really looks dangerous. You better not go in."
Harry pursed his lips and raised his head violently, already determined what to do.
"I want to go down," he said firmly.
He had to go, now that they had found the entrance to the back room, and since there was still a tiny, faint, faint glimmer of hope-Ginny might be alive.
"I'm going too," Ron said.
There was a moment of silence in the small bathroom.
"Okay, okay ... at least, I'll go and take a look first, and when I say‘ it ’s all right ’, you do n’t have to be late.

As Lohart said, he jumped decisively and slipped down the pipe.
After a while, Harry and Ron heard a very small shout coming from below. If they hadn't been listening carefully, they might not have heard it.
Harry and Ron nodded to each other, and then jumped in.
滑 The gliding is naturally not pleasant, at least the facilities in the playground can usually make children laugh.
Stuck inside, it felt like it was rushing down a dark, slimy, endless slide. They can see that there are many pipes that branch off in all directions, but none of them are as thick as this one.
The pipe is twists and turns, winding up and down, the is steep all the way down.
Harry knew that he had slipped to a deep place under the school ground, even deeper than those underground classrooms. He could hear Ron following him, making a slight collision at the turn.
Then, just as Harry began to worry about what happened next, the incline of the water pipe gradually became much smoother. After a while, he emerged from the mouth of the pipe, and UU read the book www.uukanshu.com and fell to the damp ground.
This is a dark stone tunnel large enough to allow people to stand inside.
洛 Located near Harry, Lockhart was standing there with his wand, but he was not as dirty as he was covered in mud.
Harry stood aside, and Ron burst out of the pipe a short time later.
"Clean up."
When Ron also stood up, Lockhart applied a descaling spell to each of them. Suddenly, all the stains on Harry and Ron disappeared.
"Oh, thank you, Professor." The two could not help but thank.
"We must have been several miles below the school." Harry then looked around, his voice echoing in the dark tunnel.
"It's probably under the lake," Ron said. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the dark, slimy walls around him.
Then, all three of them stared at the dark front.
"Fluorescence flashes!"
Lockhart raised his wand and whispered, and the wand glowed again.
"Let's go," he said to Harry and Ron.
The shoes of the three people stepped on the wet ground and made a loud noise.
The tunnel was too dark, and even if Lockhart's wand glow spell was quite bright, it could only illuminate a certain distance. Their shadows were reflected on the wet stone wall, and the uneven surface of the stone wall constantly changed and twisted, and looked quite strange.
"Remember?" Lockhart lowered his voice. "Although this seems a little embarrassing, but I must say it again ... once I hear something, close my eyes immediately!"
Harry and Ron responded immediately, saying they heard it.
