Chapter 171 "Shield" Lockhart
Chapter 171 "Shield" Lockhart
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspThe four of them set out “honestly”. On the way, Hermione looked around worriedly and asked, "Is it really okay for us to go there so blatantly, what if we are discovered by the professors?"
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce said: "You do extraordinary things in extraordinary times, why do you care so much?"
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Have you ever thought about how to deal with the basilisk?" Hermione asked again.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "We are still facing an unknown, so it is impossible to be fully prepared for everything." Bruce smiled.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspHermione looked at the confident Bruce speechlessly and said, "At least there must be a plan."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce clenched his fists and said, "Don't be intimidated, just do it. This is the plan."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Hey, look, who is that?" Harry suddenly asked, pointing forward.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspA figure led a suitcase and ran out of a door in a panic, as if something urgent had happened.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp"It's Professor Lockhart"
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspHermione recognized her idol immediately.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspRon said in confusion; "What is he going to do?"
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp"Deal with the basilisk and find the secret room," Harry said.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce smiled disdainfully: "I know it's impossible even with my toes. Who would lead the box to deal with the basilisk."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Aren't you?" Harry smiled.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp"Um"
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp"Professor Lockhart" Hermione suddenly called out, Lockhart's panicked figure immediately stopped, and the four people hurriedly walked over.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspThe usually confident and "charming" smile became awkward and nervous. Lockhart forced a smile and said: "Oh, it's you four. It's not okay to stay out so late. Safety."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Really? Then why are you looking for the secret room?" Bruce asked sarcastically.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspLockhart stood there awkwardly, not knowing how to answer. At this moment, Hermione couldn't bear it anymore. She needed to know the truth about this person she admired. Professor for one year.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Professor, are you planning to escape?" Hermione asked in disbelief.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspAs soon as these words came out, the embarrassment on Lockhart's face disappeared. Since he was discovered, he simply broke the pot and said, "No, this is called retreat. Only a fool. Will fight with monsters"
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "But haven't you defeated so many monsters?" Hermione asked angrily.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspLockhart smiled bitterly: "Come on, Hermione, that's a story. Do you understand the story? If it wasn't wonderfully written, who would buy my book?"
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspHermione wanted to continue asking, but Bruce stopped her and said: "Stop talking nonsense with him, it's more important to save Ginny."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Wait a minute" Lockhart was stunned when he heard Bruce's words, and asked in surprise: "You just said Ginny, Ginny Weasley, Now you found the secret room"
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce nodded and smiled: "Yes, we are the fools you call us and"
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce raised his wand and pointed it at Lockhart: "And we four fools will also take you with us, dear Professor Lockhart."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "You are crazy, why did Bruce take him with you?" Ron asked in confusion.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce said: "Even if Lockhart is just a fake person, he is a wizard after all, and he can always do something, so it is good to be a shield. "
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Hey wait a minute," Lockhart said hurriedly: "Bruce, are you kidding?"
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce smiled and said, "You'll know if you're joking or not. Now please come with us, Professor Lockhart."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspAt this time, Lockhart really regretted that he had left a good "star" to work as a teacher, but now he thought he could still use it. As Hogwarts's reputation is on the rise, it's time to get them all kicked out, and maybe even their lives will be involved. But the matter has come to this, and he is not allowed to make other choices.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspThe four of them "carried" Lockhart to the bathroom on the second floor.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspIn the bathroom, Myrtle let out a "whimpering" cry floating aimlessly. Suddenly she heard the door open.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp"Who is"
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspThe first person who came in was the trembling "shield" Professor Lockhart, and then she saw the four Bruces.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspMyrtle smiled immediately after seeing Harry come in, and said shyly: "Haha, Harry, hello."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Um" Harry smiled awkwardly and said, "Hello"
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp"What are you doing here?" asked Myrtle.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspHarry said: "We are not irritating you, we just want to ask you if you still remember the scene when you were killed."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Oh" Myrtle's expression became horrified and she said: "It was very scary at the time, just in this cubicle. Oliver Humbey made fun of my glasses. , I was hiding here while I was crying and suddenly I heard someone coming in."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp"Who is it?" Bruce asked hurriedly. .
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspMyrtle began to cry again and said: "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu A strange language. It was a boy and I thought he was laughing at me, so I opened the door and told him to get away, and then I died."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce said in surprise: "You died so inexplicably. What I mean is that you didn't see your murderer?"
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspMyrtle said sadly: "I only remember being by the sink, with a pair of huge yellow eyes whimpering. It was so scary."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspMyrtle floated away crying and unwilling to remember anymore.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspThe four of them immediately looked at the sink. Lockhart immediately shuddered and said hurriedly: "It's really a magical story, isn't it?"
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Shut up," Hermione said disgustedly, and then said to the three of them: "Myrtle must have seen the eyes of the basilisk, that is, Said the entrance to the secret room is near the sink."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspRon said hurriedly: "Look for it quickly."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspThe three of them immediately went to the sink to check, but the sink was only so big and there was nothing around it, and it didn’t look like there was an entrance at all.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspAt this moment, Bruce suddenly saw the faucet and suddenly remembered an extremely cliché "routine" in his mind. He immediately turned on the faucet, but no water came out.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "This is empty," Bruce said immediately.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp"Look" Hermione suddenly discovered something.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce and Harry hurried over, Hermione pointed at the faucet and said: "There is a snake pattern on it."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce immediately said: "The entrance to the secret room is here, the sink is empty, and the passage is down here."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "How can I open it and explode it?" Ron asked.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp"Snake Talk" Bruce suddenly remembered Myrtle's words, and said with enlightenment: "Didn't Myrtle say that? She heard that boy say something strange. Language. At that time, he must have used snake language to open the secret chamber and release the basilisk."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspHermione said hurriedly: "Harry, say something to it in parse language."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspHarry nodded, spoke a dark and creepy snake language, and then
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp"Click"
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspA strange sound suddenly came from the depths of the sink. The four of them subconsciously took a step back, and Lockhart, if Ron hadn't pointed with his wand, He probably ran out right now.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspI saw the top of the sink slowly floating into the air, and then the surrounding wash basins moved towards the periphery. After a while, what appeared in front of them was a bottomless "black hole"
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Found it," Bruce said excitedly.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspAt this time, Lockhart looked at him with fear and said hurriedly: "Yes, you are really amazing. Well done. Shouldn't we leave here now?"
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce said: "Why should you leave?"
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspLockhart said in disbelief: "You are not really planning to go in, are you? This is simply looking for Bruce to die. You should listen to my suggestion, we should go find him." People who can actually solve problems, rather than blindly die."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce nodded and said: "Yes, we would definitely do this if it hadn't happened today, but it can't be done now."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp"Why?" Lockhart asked in disbelief.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Because there is my sister down there," Ron said excitedly, pointing his wand at Lockhart.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspLockhart hurriedly leaned back and said in a panic: "I sympathize with your sister's experience, and I respect your thoughts. But I remain This is of no use."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce walked up to him and said with a smile: "No, you are very useful."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspAs he spoke, Bruce backed Lockhart to the edge of the cave entrance and said with a smile: "Please go down and explore the way first, the great Gilderoy Lockhart."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspLockhart turned his head and glanced at the dark hole, and said in horror: "Children, do you really want to do this?"
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce pointed the wand at him and said with a smile: "Of course, I am very bad."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspUnder the threat of the wand, Lockhart's Adam's apple trembled involuntarily, and he said: "Okay, okay."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspHe turned around and looked down, but his legs couldn't move at all when he looked at the terrifying depth.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspLockhart turned his head and asked with a sad face: "We can discuss it."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp"Bang"
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp“Ah”
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspHermione put her foot on his butt, and Lockhart immediately kicked him down. Bruce and the other three looked at Hermione in surprise. Hermione smiled complacently and said, "I'm also bad."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Hahaha, bad and beautiful" Bruce hugged Hermione and laughed.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspAt this moment, Lockhart's voice came from below: "Oh, this place is so dirty."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce said: "It seems there is no problem. Let's go down."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspRon was eager to save his sister and said, "I'll go down first."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspAs he walked to the entrance of the cave, Myrtle suddenly popped out, looked at Harry happily, and said: "Harry, if you die Yes, you are more than welcome to share a toilet with me."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Uh" Harry smiled awkwardly and said: "Thank you, Myrtle, but I still hope to live. I will see Ron later. Let's go. .”
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspRon nodded and took a deep breath before jumping down, and then the three of them jumped down.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspAfter jumping inside, they discovered that the entrance to the secret room was not like a "straight path" going down from the outside, but like a continuous slide. extends downward. Because it is under the bathroom, the environment here is humid. The area around the hole is covered with moss and is slimy and slippery, but this actually helps them and prevents the four people's butts from catching fire due to friction.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp"Bang"
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp"Bang
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp"Bang"
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp"Bang"
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspThe four of them arrived below one by one and landed on a pile of "branches". Lockhart had already stood aside. Ron, the first one to arrive, immediately stood up and pointed his wand at him. When Bruce and the others stood up, they discovered that there were no branches at all on the ground, but a pile of animal bones. Some of the bones had even hatched and made a crisp sound when stepped on. The sound of breaking echoed around and made people shudder. To be continued.
