A Professor of Magic at Hogwarts Chapter 43: meeting

Felix found it difficult to understand Professor Lockhart.

He has seen through this man for what he is—a businessman who sells books by making up stories and promoting himself.

As for the magic ability, it has long been returned to the teacher after graduation.

This writer's routine is to name the protagonist of the story by his own name, and shamelessly use the banner of "autobiography" to collect money.

This kind of thing is not uncommon in the Muggle world, but the wizarding world is not so open, and to some extent it can even be said to be quite simple. You say in the book that it is your own adventure, and everyone chooses to believe it—and this is suspected of fraud. Once it is revealed, it will basically be ruined.

Doesn't he know this himself? Now why are you still jumping like this? And performing in front of some of the best wizards in the British wizarding world?

To be honest, Felix didn't understand at all.

He and Lockhart are two completely different people.

"Silence." With Lockhart's arrival, Dumbledore presided over the meeting.

"The second attack happened just an hour ago. It was also petrified, just like Mrs. Norris." Dumbledore said slightly heavily.

"But the nature of this time is completely different. The victim is a little wizard, a first-year freshman, which means—" His blue eyes looked around oppressively, "The chamber of secrets was really destroyed. Open."

"Hogwarts is facing a crisis!"

All the professors grew dignified.

Next, Professor McGonagall told the information about the last time the chamber of secrets was opened. She pursed her lips and began to tell about that period of history: "Fifty years ago, the secret room was opened once."

"A student died because of this. Her name was Myrtle Elizabeth Warren. Yes, she still remains in Hogwarts as a ghost on campus."

"However, since then, the Chamber of Secrets has been closed until now—"

"So," Lockhart said impatiently, "is the attack over? I mean, a student has already been recruited, isn't it? I've seen many similar cases, such as Morgan Lake The water monsters appear every thirty years, and since I gave the residents there my homemade amulets, they have never been troubled again..."

Professor McGonagall's lips were tighter, and she said in a very rare voice: "I must remind you, Professor Lockhart! Colin Creevey was only petrified, he did not lose his life."

Dumbledore followed McGonagall's words: "That's right, none of us know whether the monster will attack or not, and whether the consequences are just petrification. If you have any suggestions, you can put them forward."

Professor McGonagall said: "At present, I have arranged for the prefects to inspect, and it is strictly forbidden for little wizards to go to remote places. For the little wizards in the first and second grades, they have to line up to and from get out of class, and try to avoid going alone."

"Very well, Minerva," said Dumbledore approvingly.

"Principal Dumbledore," Felix felt the need to share the information he had, "my focus has always been on the Chamber of Secrets. Surrounding the Chamber of Secrets, there are three key words——"

He glanced at everyone, "Unknown monster, the heir of Slytherin, the location of the Chamber of Secrets."

"As long as we know any point, we can sort out the truth."

Dumbledore closed his slender fingers and seemed to be thinking, "Please continue, Felix."

"Unknown monster, why don't we associate it with Slytherin? Slytherin's symbol is a snake, maybe this monster is also a snake, so the problem of how it appeared in the castle is also solved—with the help of Pipes all over Hogwarts."

Everyone thought about it, Snape spoke, and said in his gentle and indifferent tone: "Felix, the symbol of Slytherin may be a snake, but it's only because he is a snake." Laoqiang. If you study him a little bit, you will find that he is a master of bloodline research, and the magical bloodlines he studies are beyond your imagination."

"But we can't rule that out, can we?"

"Oh! That unknown monster murdered a witch fifty years ago, and fifty years later, all it did was petrify..." Snape said with his stone-like eyes Staring at Felix, "If I understand correctly, Felix, it's not the same monster?"

Felix shook his head, "I can't explain this, so my opinion can only be used for your reference."

He continued: "Heir of Slytherin, I can think of two possibilities. Active and passive."

"Perhaps this heir is sober, and he knows what he is doing, such as inheriting Slytherin's will and expelling little wizards from Muggle families. But it is also possible that he obtained Slytherin's relic by accident and was It took control."

Dumbledore raised his head, "Very insightful, you have expanded our thinking."

He is thoughtful ~IndoMTL.com~ We ignored this point in the past, it seems that we have to strengthen the ideological education of students. "

Felix's "manipulation theory" attracted many professors to discuss. He waited for a while and continued: "As for the location of the secret room, I have no way of knowing. Maybe I can ask about the portrait and ghost of the castle?"

After a long silence, an elderly professor hesitated and said, "I shouldn't have said it originally, but I think Hogwarts is in a critical period, and any clue is very important... "

Felix looked at the old professor. His name was Sylvanus Kettleburn. He was his teacher in the Protection of Magical Creatures class when he was in school, but it was said that he planned to retire.

The professor, known for his penchant for researching and caring for dangerous creatures, set an unprecedented record, undergoing 62 detentions during his tenure at the school.

Let Felix comment, it is another version of Hagrid.

At this moment, Kettleburn said: "That kid is definitely not a bad person, but let me tell you, if he is like me... he made a mistake out of curiosity," he paused, and said a name: "Lu Bo Hagrid."

"It's not him, Sylva," Dumbledore said firmly, "I was the school's Transfiguration teacher, I know he is innocent, but there is no evidence...Under pressure, Headmaster Dippet Fire him."

"This is a serious mistake, we did not catch the real culprit."

At the end of the meeting, Dumbledore assigned a series of tasks. At present, he can only focus on prevention. In addition to conducting daily inspections, he also appeals to the little wizards in class not to trust any nonsense about magic items.

When Felix went out, he saw Lockhart talking to Dumbledore.

The headmaster's expression is very intriguing.
