Chapter 73: Fool

The Basilisk is almost covered with extremely tough scale armor, which can not only resist ordinary sword weapons, but even magic spells can resist or even rebound.
Even if it is now a corpse, it can still be quite difficult to cut.
Speaking of them, Maca really wanted to chop it up and take it away, after all, this is a basilisk! Saying that it is a treasure throughout the body will not have any exaggerated ingredients.
I ca n’t even put it in the suitcase with the stretch spell.
In the end, when Maca turned and left, the ancient beast who had made Hogwarts almost suspend all classes during his lifetime and caused Dumbledore to receive the school board's removal order has turned into a bunch of people who also recognized Not coming out of Roshan.
With Maca's departure, the stone gate finally closed. It didn't take long before I heard a dull roar collapse in the back room, and the whole ground shook slightly.
Uh ...
On the other side, Lockhart returned to his office with Harry, Ron, and Ginny, and it wasn't long before Professor McGonagall came over. She brought Lockhart with her three children to her office, where many people were waiting for them.
Harry, Ron, Ginny, and Lockhart stood at the door. Harry and them were almost covered with mud and slime. Although Lockhart looked better, he had been in stealth all the way, and the mud splashed. It is always inevitable.
For a moment, there was silence all around. Suddenly, a scream came from the fireplace— "Ginny!"
I was Mrs. Weasley, who had been sitting in front of the fire and wept. At this moment she jumped up sharply, followed by Mr. Weasley, and both of them stretched out their arms at the same time and caught their baby daughter.
Ron stood aside, he still lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking.
Harry's eyes passed over them and he looked into the room.
看到 He saw Professor Dumbledore smiling, standing in front of the mantelpiece. And standing beside Dumbledore was Hermione, who was also smiling!
"Oh! Hermione? Are you okay?" Harry said in surprise.
Hermione smiled and nodded, but her eyes were still looking behind Harry, as if looking forward to something.
"Miss Granger was awake when you violated a bunch of school rules. It was McLean, who had been boiled for two days and two nights in a row and made a resurrection potion from the newly mature Mandela grass-that is His modified formula is very effective! "
Professor Meggie explained happily beside him.
Ron, standing not far away, raised his head stupidly.
He looked at Hermione and Ginny again. The expression on his face continued to change. Eventually, he lowered his head again in sorrow.
在 At this moment, Mrs. Weasley looked at Lockhart excitedly. Different from the worship of stars in the past, it is a kind of respect from the heart.
"Professor Lockhart, you saved her! You saved her! What did you do then?"
"This is what we all want to know." Professor McGonagall looked at Lockhart with a hesitant look.
Walking in front of the mantelpiece, Dumbledore also made a curious expression.
Colohat looked at Mrs. Weasley with a rare confusion in her eyes. When Harry reached out and pulled the hem of his clothes, he suddenly returned to his senses.
"Oh-of course, I will tell you the whole process." Lockhart smiled in the past, but the smile was not the kind of show-off, it seemed a bit perfunctory.
嗯 "Well, but before that, I think everyone has to listen to Mr. Potter's reasoning first. I think that's the real beginning to save Miss Weasley."
With Lockhart's words, everyone's eyes fell on Harry again.
大家 In everyone's attention, Harry hesitated for a moment, and then began to talk about the things he had experienced.
He talked for about ten minutes, everyone listened very attentively, and the room was silent.
But when he said that the note in Hermione's hand gave him a key clue, Hermione nodded unexpectedly.
I just held her cuffs tightly with her hands on the sides.
I waited for Harry to finish, but Lockhart had fully recovered to his usual condition. He raised his head, exaggeratedly speaking the whole process after entering the back room.
Storytelling has always been his specialty, not to mention, this time he followed him invisible almost all the way!
"Is it really?"
Listening, Professor McGonagall could not help asking Harry.
Harry glanced subconsciously towards Dumbledore, only to see the headmaster smile faintly, and the light flashed quickly on his half-moon-shaped glasses.
哦 "Oh-that's roughly true-"
"I'm most interested," said Dumbledore suddenly, "how did Voldemort confuse Ginny, because according to my source, he is currently hiding in the forests of Albania!"
"Why ... what?" Madame Weasley said in amazement. "Mysterious man? Confused Ginny? But isn't Ginny ... Ginny didn't ... Really?"
"It's all that diary," Harry said quickly, "It was written by Riddle when he was sixteen, and there is a memory in it."
"Diary?" Dumbledore frowned slightly.
Harry looked at Lockhart, who felt Lockhart should know the ultimate whereabouts of the diary.
But Crohat shook his head, and said, "As I said just now-I pierced it with the venom of the basilisk, and the poison of the basilisk penetrated the entire diary, the phantom of the mysterious man. It also dissipated. Later I was busy taking the children out, and that diary ... should still be in the back room now. "
"It's amazing," Dumbledore thought for a moment, and said softly, "Without McLean, he would probably be the best student ever at Hogwarts."
He turned and faced the Weasleys, both of whom looked very confused.
"Very few people know that Voldemort was previously called Tom Riddle. Fifty years ago, I taught him personally at Hogwarts. He disappeared after leaving school ... travelling all over the world, his footprints throughout the world ... Sink deeper and deeper into the dark quagmire, mingling with the most evil guy in the wizarding world, undergoing many dangerous magical transformations. "
最后 "Finally, he reappeared as Voldemort, and it was hard to recognize him at that time-hardly anyone connected Voldemort with the smart, handsome schoolboy chairman who had studied here."
Dumbledore recalled the past, and at the same time remembered the current Maca. In his pale blue pupils, complex eyes twinkled.
"But what about Ginny?" Said Mrs. Weasley. "What does our Ginny have to do with ...?"
"His day ... diary!" Ginny sobbed and said, "I've been writing on it for a whole year. He ... he kept writing me back ..."
"Ginny!" Mr. Weasley was startled and said, "Did I not teach you? How did I always tell you? Never trust anything that can think independently, unless you see it clearly Hidden somewhere. Why didn't you show your diary to me or your mother at first? A suspicious thing like that is obviously full of black magic! "
"I ... I don't know," Ginny was still crying sadly, "I found it in a book that my mother gave me. I ... I thought someone had caught it there and forgot ..."
"Miss Weasley should go to the school hospital immediately," Dumbledore interjected indiscriminately. "This is a painful torture for her, and the school will not punish her. Many older, More resourceful wizards were blinded by Voldemort. "
He strode to the door and opened it slightly.
"Bed in bed. Maybe you should also drink a large cup of steaming chocolate milk-I always think it is good for improving my mood."
He said, blinking at Ginny kindly as he bowed his head.
"You'll find that Mrs. Pomfrey hasn't slept yet. She's been studying the modified mandrag resuscitation recipe given to her by McLean!"
Mrs. Weasley led Ginny out, and Mr. Weasley followed, still looking very hard.
Even more distressed than Mr. Weasley, it was Ron who was called by Dumbledore—he wanted to go to the hospital with his father ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Do you know, Milleva "Professor Dumbledore thoughtfully said to Professor McGonagall," I think such things are worth a banquet to celebrate. May I ask you to inform the kitchen? "
嗯 "Well, yes, by the way, please ask McLean and take him to my office to wait for me." Dumbledore added.
"Yes," she said simply, and left for the door, "Porter and Weasley will leave it to you, will you?"
"Of course," said Dumbledore.
Professor McGonagall left, and Harry and Ron stared uneasily at Dumbledore.
What does Professor McGonagall mean? Deal with them? Should they ... shouldn't ... be punished?
But Dumbledore smiled and added points to each of them, and praised Harry for his decisiveness and cleverness, and Ron's love for his sister Ginny.
After a while, he turned to Lockhart and looked at him curiously.
"Gidrow, I think, you are very suitable for teaching this profession, maybe next semester-"
Lockhart hurriedly interrupted: "Oh! No, no ... I mean ... This experience made me discover a lot of deficiencies, and I need to work harder. When I think I When there is more to teach students, I will return to teach ... "
He said a lot of things in a mess, and he didn't want to leave his mind to continue teaching.
哦 "Oh-that's a shame," said Dumbledore casually, and then turned to Ron again. "I want to talk to Harry a few more words ..."
Lockhart immediately hurried out. Ron hesitated and left.
