The back-to-school dinner ended with an embarrassing joke told by Dumbledore. The young wizards dispersed in twos and threes. Until the end, they failed to understand Amosta's purpose of returning to school. It can be expected that , in the first week of school, a vigorous detective campaign will be launched in the school.
Amosta had already left before the little wizards. He had not forgotten that he did not come back to Hogwarts for vacation. When all the little wizards gathered neatly in the great hall, At that moment, his mission officially began.
For the next time, until he finds the secret room, he will probably have to live a life of reverse day and night, sleeping during the day and working at night. This will be a very hard life.
In the surveillance room, Amosta sat on a chair and stared at the picture that was gradually filled with people. His focus was on the little wizards who were living alone, observing whether their behavior was contrary to common sense. Of course, Professor Lockhart is also one of the objects of his attention.
The Chamber of Secrets appeared sooner rather than later, but it happened to be opened when Lockhart was appointed as the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. He couldn't help but doubt it.
After dinner, under the leadership of the prefects, most of the young wizards from each college returned to their respective common rooms. However, there were about a dozen young wizards who took advantage of everyone's inattention and secretly slipped out.
More than half of them are Gryffindor students.
Harry and Ron went to the school hospital. The Weasley brothers took advantage of the patrolling Filch to not pay attention and ran into the passage leading to the underground Hufflepuff common room. He stopped in front of a fruit oil painting hanging on the stone wall, manipulated it for a while, and then jumped in.
Amosta also saw Penelope Clivet who walked into the Ravenclaw lounge, but turned back after a while. At almost the same time, Percy Weasley also left. After entering the Gryffindor lounge, it can be expected that there will be another passionate kiss somewhere in the castle.
Except for Professor McGonagall and Professor Lockhart, who returned to the office to work overtime after the dinner, the rest of the professors basically stayed in the faculty dormitories. Before entering his office, President Dumbledore turned around He winked his blue eyes playfully at the ceiling of the corridor thirty feet away, as if to say hello.
Amosta pouted and looked away from the screen.
Nothing unusual happened, everything was normal, and this result did not exceed Amosta’s expectations. Unless you are very lucky, you can’t expect it to happen in ten days and a half. harvested.
The flames were burning in the beautifully carved fireplace. Amosta leaned back on the chair holding a cup of bitter hot tea, his eyes scanning the entire wall from time to time, his expression calm.
About half an hour later, the person who was still active on the monitor screen turned into a ghost. Amosta saw Peeves wearing a funny round hat and rushing into a room on the second floor with a smirk. The bathroom had been abandoned for many years. After a while, the door of the bathroom started to squeak.Water seeped into the corridor outside.
The long night had just arrived, and Amosta was already feeling bored. He went to his desk and got a book on the basic model and structural optimization of magic spells that he was compiling, and flipped through it at will to find inspiration. .
Suddenly, there was movement in the surveillance screen in the lower right corner. Professor Lockhart changed into a purple robe and walked out with a few books under his arm. He was smiling and personable. Looking at the direction he was going, It seems to be his monitoring room.
Both of their offices were on the first floor. Within two minutes, Professor Lockhart appeared outside his office.
Tuk Tuk
The moment the knock on the door rang, Amosta waved his wand, and a huge black curtain covered the wall, and the stool under his butt danced with a tap dance pace. He returned to his desk, straightened himself out and returned to normal.
"Professor Lockhart" Amosta opened the door and showed just the right surprise, "What are you doing?"
Amosta introduced Lockhart who had no idea. In the office, he poured him a cup of tea, but Lockhart seemed to have no intention of drinking it.
"That's true,"
Lockhart was ready to explain his purpose, but when he found a copy of Wandering with the Werewolves on Amosta's bookshelf, he The smile on his face was simply too bright.
"It was my mistake, it was my mistake, Amosta, I should have thought of it earlier, but I didn't realize it," he said, looking a little confused. Amosta winked, "A cunning and crazy admirer, right? It really surprised me in a way that I didn't expect."
"Sorry, Professor Lockhart, maybe I'm too slow." , so that I can’t understand what you want to express”
“There’s no need to hide it anymore, Amosta, you went through all the trouble to enter Hogwarts just to get close to me, right?”
< p>Lockhart smiled happily, "Professor McGonagall told me that the school board sent an investigator to track down the secret room. I think you must have spent a lot of money to do this."Amosta looked at the bookshelf in the direction of Lockhart's gaze and blinked,
"If you are referring to the book Wandering with Werewolves, that's right. I At that time, I had some unpleasantness with a group of werewolves. In order to deepen my understanding of them, I found a few of the most famous books."
"Aha, it was finally exposed, wasn't it?"
Lockhart seemed to have finally caught Amosta's handle.
"Just like the second-year Miss Granger, she knows everything about me, right? Yes, yes, many people talk about it." When I read that book, I was amazed by my calmness and courage when I was blocked by a werewolf in a phone booth, but you are different, Amosta, you want to learn how I resolved the differences with the werewolf, right?"
An hour later, Lockhart left Amosta's office with satisfaction. Standing in front of the door, he lowered his voice and said to Amosta,
"Don't worry about not being able to do it." Tell the board, Amosta, there will be no more secret room attacks, and why?, you must know, right?" Lockhart winked at Amosta again, "Because I'm right here."
Amosta watched Professor Lockhart go away, and he closed the door He stood in front of his desk, staring at the set of hardcover signed books given to him as a gift by Lockhart.
"Oh, what an interesting guy." Amosta suddenly laughed.
Back at night at Hogwarts, Amosta and Professor Snape had talked about suspicious people in the school. When Gilderoy Lockhart was mentioned, Snape's tone His disdain and ridicule were palpable, but he didn’t think Lockhart would have a problem. Amosta was quite puzzled at the time.
“However, as a well-known star writer in the magical world, at least he is considered a celebrity. A very friendly wizard. "Please remember to bookmark, the latest and fastest website without anti-theft and free reading
