Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 642: Stunned (big
"Follow me, Mr. Anderson."
Professor McGonagall takes Albert to the headmaster's office so that when Dumbledore returns to school, someone can tell him about it as soon as possible.
This is the "important" task that Albert was given by Professor McGonagall.
In order to prevent Albert from getting bored waiting in the principal's office, Professor McGonagall handed him the latest issue of Transfiguration Today and asked him to read to pass the boring waiting time.
Before he left, Professor McGonagall "sweetly" conjured a large glass of pumpkin juice for Albert out of thin air.
Looking at the closed oak door, Albert squinted the "Transfiguration Today" magazine in his hand, threw the magazine directly on the desk, took the cup of pumpkin juice, "tons and tons" After drinking most of it, he pulled his wand out of his pocket and filled the cup with a refilling spell.
Looking at the refilled glass of pumpkin juice, Albert nodded with satisfaction, put away his wand, walked behind the desk, and picked up the tattered, wrinkled Sorting Hat on the bookshelf.
Albert intends to take this opportunity to get in touch with the Sorting Hat. He always feels that there are a lot of secrets hidden in the broken hat, and also to find out how the Sorting Hat was made.
This thing may be moving in the direction of artificial intelligence in the wizarding world.
Well, it's probably inappropriate to call it artificial intelligence.
Anyway, it's probably something similar.
Albert pondered on the Sorting Hat for a while, but couldn't let the broken hat speak. In the end, in desperation, he had to put the Sorting Hat on his head so that the two sides could communicate smoothly.
Albert kept talking to the Sorting Hat, testing its intelligence, trying to figure out if there were any secrets hidden in the hat, and for a time indulged in the memory presented by the Sorting Hat, forgetting the time until someone Putting his hand on his shoulder, Albert suddenly came back to his senses, took off the sorting hat on his head, looked up at the figure who appeared in the principal's office, and almost jumped out of his chair.
"Professor Dumbledore." Albert called out his name.
"Minerva asked you to wait for me here?" Dumbledore was a little surprised that Albert would be in his office.
"Yes, Professor McGonagall hopes that after the professor returns, someone will be able to tell you what happened in the school as soon as possible." Albert put the sorting hat on the desk lightly, earnestly fulfilling his stay responsibility here.
"What about the murder of Miss Weasley?"
"No, I think Ginny isn't dead yet, she's just been taken into the Chamber of Secrets." Albert silently closed his brain, preventing Dumbledore from reading information from his own eyes.
"Oh, Miss Weasley isn't dead?" Dumbledore's frown could not help loosening. "This is the best news I've heard today, tell me what's going on!"
Albert told Dumbledore the most important things in the simplest and most straightforward words.
For example: Ginny controls the basilisk to attack other Muggle wizards, the entrance to the secret room is in the girls' bathroom on the second floor of the castle, the entrance to the secret room requires Parseltongue, and finally the monster in the secret room is a basilisk, and the real Slater The Lin heir is a wizard named Tom Riddle.
"Do you think Tom Riddle was responsible for the attack?"
Dumbledore was upset when he heard Albert mention the name, although he had cleverly used an expression of interest to cover up his mood changes.
"According to my investigation, Tom Riddle, who caught Hagrid fifty years ago, should be the Man of You-Knowing." Albert was not shy about Voldemort, but he didn't use that name directly. Referred to as "mysterious man".
"The main reason I suspect Tom Riddle is behind it is that there was a 'Tom Riddle's diary' in the school, which, according to Harry's description, was supposed to be a diary that would have been able to think independently. The diary is missing, and I suspect it's the bewitching thing that got Ginny under control."
"A diary that can think alone?" Dumbledore murmured softly, apparently already guessing what might be going on.
Who asked Albert to help Dumbledore know about Voldemort's creation of Horcruxes in advance, it's hard not to let him not think about it.
"I think it's best to save Ginny now. I'm afraid she's in a bad situation." Albert is not a villain, and naturally he doesn't want Fred and George's sister to have an accident. "The basilisk in the back room, as long as its eyes are blinded, there is not much danger. I think Fox should be able to deal with it."
"Looks like you've found a way to deal with the basilisk long ago." Dumbledore strode out of the office, "Go and call Harry, I need his help to open the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets."
"I'll take Harry to meet you in the abandoned girls' bathroom on the second floor." After speaking, Albert hurried to the Gryffindor common room.
On the way, Albert slowed down and checked the Marauder's Map in his pocket at the cue of Flux (intuition), Harry Potter was no longer in the Gryffindor common room. .
That's right, with Harry Potter's character, 80% of them couldn't help it and entered the secret room alone to save people.
In the case of tampering with the plot, I don't know if Harry will die in the secret room.
Albert thought maliciously.
What would the world be like without a savior?
A new savior
Can I save the world myself?
Well, it's impossible to save the world to save the world. Albert doesn't have such a noble consciousness, and he never thought about fighting Tom.
If he hides behind his back and secretly stabs Tom twice to earn some quest rewards, he still doesn't mind at all. It's better to face Tom in the face.
It's best to be a tumbler.
In this life, I finally gave in a good baby, and a good life has just begun, so why rush to die?
And, I'm not meant to be a savior!
When Albert quietly came to the second floor of the castle, he didn't forget to rub his cheeks with both hands. He took a deep breath, knowing that it was time to perform his real acting skills.
trotting down the stairs, panting into the girls' bathroom, exclaiming, "Professor Dumbledore, Harry's gone, I think he might run by himself..."
The entrance to the Chamber of Secrets has been opened. Professor McGonagall, the Weasleys, Fred, George, Ron, and Percy are all here. They all turn their heads when they hear Albert's shout. Looking at Albert who rushed into the girls' bathroom.
"Where's Dumbledore?" Albert moved his gaze to the opening of the Chamber of Secrets, and said slowly, "Harry is gone, he may have secretly tried to open... the Chamber of Secrets."
At this moment, Albert really felt that the Oscars of this world should award him a statuette.
"Professor Dumbledore has gone down." Percy said, looking nervously at the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets.
"Albert, you **** just..."
Fred and George approached Albert, looking annoyed that Albert had used a stun spell to bring them down.
However, the two's attention was quickly attracted by the phoenix who flew out of the entrance of the secret room first.
Afterwards, Harry, Ginny, and Dumbledore slowly ascended from the passage like an elevator.
"Harry, Ginny!"
There was an immediate exclamation from the girls' bathroom.
Harry looks a little miserable, and seems to be seriously injured, but it seems to be out of the way now, and it is estimated that he has been treated with the tears of the phoenix.
"Damn, if only I had a phoenix." Albert envied Dumbledore for having a phoenix pet.
At this moment, Harry holds a silver sword in his hand.
Professor Dumbledore didn't know when to send the Sorting Hat to Harry, or if the Sorting Hat was not needed at all to summon the Gryffindor Sword.
Will this magical sword appear when Gryffindor students need it?
"Is it all over?"
Albert looked at Ginny and Harry, who were hugged by the Weasleys, and moved his gaze to Dumbledore, who was standing beside him smiling.
"It's over, the basilisk was killed by Harry, and Riddle's memory was erased from the diary." Dumbledore took out Riddle's diary and showed Albert that it was snaked The hole made by the strange fangs.
History revision is horrible!
Albert couldn't help but sighed emotionally.
"By the way, Albus, there's one more thing." Professor McGonagall looked at the crowd with relief, and thinking about Lockhart again, he told Dumbledore about the misfortune of the Defence Against the Dark Arts Professor: "Ji Something didn't seem right with Dro, and Snape told me that someone had put a powerful forgetting spell on him, making him forget everything, and now he's like a few years old."
Speaking of this incident, Professor McGonagall's face trembled twice, and he didn't know if it was happiness or other reasons.
"I probably know why he was attacked."
The Flux (Intuition) tells Albert that now is the time to draw the attention of others to expose Lockhart's secret.
"You know what?"
At this moment, everyone in the girls' bathroom turned to look at Albert, as if curious about how many secrets he knew.
"Yeah, Lockhart passed by while I was talking to Hermione about the attack not long ago, and while I shut up immediately, I think Lockhart probably overheard us. "Albert made up a reason at random, and they couldn't find it anyway.
"That's when I started to suspect Ginny, because Ginny was there, and then Hermione was attacked, obviously not because of her Muggle status, but for other reasons."
"You mean Ginny attacked Lockhart?" said Ron, dumbfounded.
"No, you got Ron wrong, it should be the mysterious man who attacked Lockhart." Albert looked at Ron, who was a little absent-minded, speechless, and couldn't help but slandered in his mind: That's what you are Do you want to pit your sister?
"Mr. Anderson, please tell me what you know from beginning to end." Dumbledore turned to Professor McGonagall and said, "Minerva, would you mind if we borrow your office?"
"Oh, of course I don't mind." Professor McGonagall was equally curious as to what was going on.
Everyone crowds into Professor McGonagall's office.
Sitting on the comfortable sofa, Albert picked up the hot tea that Professor McGonagall had just concocted out of thin air, took a sip, and slowly told the story he had specially prepared for this time.
"This has to start at the end of the third-year term, when Professor Trelawney invited me to discuss crystal ball divination." Albert glanced at Professor McGonagall, who was dismissive of divination, and then again Looking around the people who were listening quietly, he continued: "At that time, I predicted that Hogwarts might not be too quiet next semester."
"What did you predict?"
Dumbledore is also curious about whether Albert really has the ability to predict. There are too few masters of prophecy who really understand prophecy.
"I saw on the crystal ball the words originally written on the wall: The Chamber of Secrets has been opened. Those who are enemies of the heir, beware."
After finishing speaking, Albert put down the tea cup and looked around the dead office, very satisfied with the current atmosphere, "There is another picture of a copper tap with a snake mark, which is also the entrance to the secret room that I later determined. One of the reasons for the girls' bathroom."
"You've been investigating this since then?" Professor McGonagall's eyes widened, she couldn't believe her ears.
"That's right!" Albert said with a smile: "My predictions are usually pretty accurate, and I believe in what they see."
"Don't say prophecy, your words are accurate." Fred couldn't help but murmured. George immediately nodded in agreement.
"I didn't find much information, but I found something anyway." Albert ignored Fred and George, and continued: "At that time I probably guessed what might happen."
"That's the case, so you asked Nico to help you make the pair of protective glasses. Did you already determine that the monster in the secret room was a basilisk?" Dumbledore was also amazed at Albert's thinking. Keen, actually came to a result based on that little piece of information.
"What glasses?" Fred and George stared at Albert together, looked at the eyes on his face curiously, and suddenly said: "I said why you suddenly wear glasses, it turns out that Are these glasses for basilisk protection?"
"Well, Nico said that these glasses should save me from dying if I accidentally looked directly into the basilisk's eyes." Albert took off the flat-rimmed glasses and handed them to Fred, "But, never tried, So I don't know if the glasses actually work."
"Nico?" Percy raised his eyebrows slightly and asked tentatively, "Which Nico? That can't be that one!"
"Yes, that is Mr. Nicole Lemay." Albert said of course: "Mr. Lemay is half my teacher, I can really know him thanks to the introduction of Professor Dumbledore. ."
"He's not dead yet?" Harry couldn't help but blurt out, the Philosopher's Stone was destroyed by Professor Dumbledore last year.
"Certainly not dead, Harry." Albert glared at Harry slightly dissatisfiedly. "Even if the Philosopher's Stone is destroyed, they will still be alive for a few more years."
Everyone looked at Harry and then at Albert. They opened their mouths in surprise and looked at Albert with disbelief. They never thought that Albert actually knew the legendary man in the legend. The alchemist of Mr. Nicole Lemay, and he is still half a student of Mr. Nicole Lemay.
And, the most shocking news for them: Nicole LeMay is dying.
"You knew it last semester?" Professor McGonagall's words brought everyone's attention back to the secret room.
"Actually, it's very easy to guess that the monster in the secret room is a basilisk, because it is related to Slytherin, and the one that can live for a thousand years is a basilisk, and Slytherin is still a Parseltonian, wanting to control Basilisks are not difficult." Albert took another sip of tea, moistened his throat and continued: "Later, the attack really happened, and the words in the prophecy appeared on the wall."
"Why don't you tell everyone!" Percy's eyes widened and he couldn't help asking, "If you could..."
"No, I can't." Albert glared at Percy and told him to shut up before continuing: "Who would believe my nonsense at that time, let alone the professor, not even you. If you believe it, it will make everyone suspect that I am the murderer, and you can think for yourself whether what I said makes sense."
Albert knew that the Headmaster was suspicious of Voldemort at that time.
However, he didn't mean to expose the other party's thoughts, and continued: "Because I am also a Muggle wizard, and I am also on the attack list, so I began to investigate this matter, after all, there is no reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days. , as long as the murderer is found out, you will be safe."
Everyone was stunned by Albert's savage behavior.
"If the murderer knew why he was caught, I don't know what to think." George muttered softly.
"Later, Hagrid didn't look right when he heard about it, so I asked him his age."
"Age?"
Everyone looked puzzled.
"Hagrid was sixty-four years old, he should be sixty-five now, and it's not difficult to figure out that he was studying at Hogwarts at the time." Albert explained briefly, "Hagrid was under my inquiry. , tell me something similar happened fifty years ago."
At this moment, Ron felt that his IQ was suppressed, and he was relieved to see Harry, Fred, and George all still looking like this.
It turns out that I'm not the only fool!
Actually, no one else could understand Albert's thinking mode. Could this be the difference between geniuses?
"Although Hagrid didn't say who the murderer was, if you've noticed, Hagrid never used a wand, he's most likely expelled from school, and if you link these two things, you can't It is speculated that Hagrid may be the murderer who was caught that year."
"So, I asked directly, and Hagrid admitted that he was fired because of what happened fifty years ago." Albert spread his hands and said, "Of course, I believe that Hagrid is not the real murderer. "
"Why?"
Percy simply couldn't understand Albert's brain circuits.
"Don't you think Hagrid doesn't look like the heir to Slytherin at all?" Harry said quietly, "and he doesn't speak Parseltongue, can't control basilisks, and is a student of Gryffindor House. ."
This is the answer Albert gave him at first.
Fred and George grinned and patted Percy on the shoulder, "You know even if you think about it with your knees," Slytherin's heir can't be a student at Gryffindor House. "
"Shut up." Mrs Weasley glared at the twins.
"Later, Hagrid revealed two pieces of information to me. He was caught by a guy named Tom Riddle, who seemed to be a student of Slytherin." Albert put up the second hand and continued. Said: "He said that Aragog was not the murderer. Well, Aragog was the eight-eyed giant spider that Hagrid raised fifty years ago. Now the eight-eyed giant spider in the Forbidden Forest is the descendant of that guy. According to the eight-eyed giant spider. The information revealed by the spider Aragog, the monster in the secret room is the natural enemy of the eight-eyed giant spider."
"The eyes of spiders allow them to see a 360-degree field of vision, and the special eye structure prevents them from completely closing their eyes." Albert noted the confusion on the faces of the crowd, and explained: "In the encounter When it comes to the basilisk, the spider that cannot close its eyes will be killed by its eyes, so the basilisk becomes the natural enemy of the spider."
"The last thing that really made me sure that the monster was the Basilisk was Harry's Parseltongue. Hermione later told me that Harry heard a voice no one else could hear on Halloween night."
Percy opened his mouth, but ultimately remained silent.
"Could it be that Hermione was attacked because she knew too much?" Ron interjected. He had always thought it was unusual for Hermione to be attacked.
"Yes, Hermione is also secretly investigating this matter." Albert directly admitted that Hermione's attack was related to this matter, "Later, Hermione told me that Harry found a book belonging to" Tom Riddle's diary", the diary will reply to the writer, and it will take Harry to see the scene of Hagrid being arrested fifty years ago, making Harry think that Hagrid may be the murderer who opened the secret room."
Harry bowed his head in embarrassment.
"That's when you started to suspect Tom Riddle?" Dumbledore guessed why, and someone as proficient in alchemy as Albert clearly knew what that diary might mean.
"Yeah, Riddle's journal does look suspicious. Then I went to Harry and found out that his journal had been stolen by some Gryffindor student, I think it was Kim Ni stole Riddle's diary." Albert glanced at Ginny, who was sitting beside Mrs Weasley, and said his guess, "She probably wrote something in it, afraid of being known by Harry, That's why I stole the diary while Harry wasn't there."
"I've been--writing on it." Ginny sobbed in a low voice. "For a year, he--he kept writing me back--"
Mr. Weasley was stunned by Ginny's words.
"That diary should have come from Mr. Malfoy." Albert's startling words interrupted Mr. Weasley's words.
"Evidence?"
"Before school started, you had a fight in the Lichen Bookstore, and it was published in the Daily Prophet. I think it was at that time that Malfoy put the diary on Ginny, probably at random. into a book."
"I found it in a book my mom gave me."
Albert's words were quickly confirmed by Ginny.
"Why did he do this, why did he kill Ginny!" Mr. Weasley gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with anger, and began to wonder how to get his revenge.
"I think one of his reasons for targeting you is the Muggle Protection Act."
This sentence instantly stunned the others. I didn't expect Albert to even know this.
"Don't look at me like that, it's not hard to guess." Albert briefly recounted what was reported in the Daily Prophet, and that Ron and Harry drank the compound potion and sneaked in. Slytherin House inquiries about the news.
"That bastard!"
"Actually, you don't have to be angry, I think Mr. Malfoy is going to be unlucky soon!" Albert said suddenly: "After all, he threatened the other school directors, and finally the conspiracy failed. After doing this Such a hated thing, the other school directors will definitely retaliate, I think his position as school board member will come to an end."
"Yes, old Malfoy must be out of luck." Both Fred and George looked delighted, clearly convinced of what Albert said.
"Later, I chatted with Harry about the secret room and deliberately let Ginny overhear." Albert raised his hand and pressed it, motioning everyone to keep quiet, and continued, "If Ginny is the murderer, He definitely won't let me go easily. In fact, she let the basilisk attack me today, unfortunately, I was already prepared and escaped from the basilisk's pursuit."
"I'm more curious, how on earth did you know that Tom Riddle is You-Know-Who," Harry couldn't help asking, although he had learned the truth from Tom Riddle, Still can't help but want to test Albert to see if this guy really knows everything.
"Tom Riddle became suspicious after Riddle's diary appeared. If he is the heir of Slytherin, it means he can speak Parselmouth." "Parseltongue is one of the symbols of the Slytherin heir," said Harry.
"You think me too"
"No, you are in Gryffindor House, and you can still use Gryffindor's sword. You are undoubtedly a brave Gryffindor student." Albert stopped Fred and George who wanted to speak. Continues: "Tom Riddle was fifty years ago, there is no famous wizard named Tom Riddle in the wizarding world now, I even wrote to many old friends and they didn't know there was such a wizard, but In the wizarding world, there is a dangerous dark wizard who can speak Parseltongue, yes, that is the mysterious man"
Albert used his wand to write Voldemort's name in mid-air, then Tom Riddle's name.
"If you look closely, they have a lot of the same letters in their names, I think it's just a middle name, which is why I would think Tom Riddle was the one who controlled Ginny Reason."
From the beginning, everyone kept their mouths open. They were all shocked and a little numb by Albert's analysis. They quietly listened to Albert's narration and analysis.
"After all, he did something similar last year." With a flick of Albert, the golden text floating in the void disappeared.
"His name is Tom Marvolo Riddle, as Voldemort himself told me."
When Harry uttered the three words Voldemort, everyone in the office, except Harry, Dumbledore, and Albert, shuddered when they heard the name.
"So you didn't want to tell us then?"
"Would you believe Ginny was the real murderer?" Albert asked rhetorically.
Fred, George, Ron, and Harry shook their heads in unison, and they now understood what Albert had said at the time: it wouldn't make sense to tell you, because you wouldn't believe it.
Yeah, how could they doubt their loved ones without proof?
"Of course I know you won't believe it, most people won't believe it without proof, so don't blame me for not telling the truth, it doesn't make sense at all, like most wizards I don't want to believe the fact that the mysterious man is still alive." Albert made a simple analogy, "That's why I need to lure him out and show evidence to make you believe the truth."
"I'm lucky, Tom Riddle was hooked very easily, probably because he was out of his mind, and he ordered the basilisk to attack me. However, he failed, probably out of his dreams, I prepared for him A large group of roosters, the basilisk made a lot of noise when the rooster ran away in a panic, so Tom had no choice but to hide in the secret room with Ginny because he knew I would tell the others next this thing."
Everyone admires Albert's bravery, but not everyone has the guts to use themselves as bait. If he hadn't uncovered the truth of the matter, everyone would continue to be buried in the dark, and it is unknown how many people would have been attacked.
"How do you know Ginny is okay for now?" Ron demanded. He obviously hasn't forgotten what he was put in by Albert, and tried to find something that Albert didn't know.
"If he wanted to kill Ginny, Ginny was already dead, and there must be other meanings in keeping it. I think Harry might know what was going on." Albert looked at Harry, and then The man is shaking his head.
This time, Riddle apparently didn't get a chance to get out of the diary.
"I think Tom may be thinking of Ginny as nourishment." Albert said his guess, "Ginny was very pale for a while, a bit like Professor Quirrell last year."
Everyone was looking at Ginny and was relieved to see that her cheeks were still rosy.
"I think the board of trustees will find Professor Dumbledore back when they see something that can't be solved, and the Headmaster will definitely be able to solve the problem, so Harry, you don't have to take the risk at all, I reminded Yours," said Albert to Harry, "of course, you are brave, at least braver than me."
"You're brave too." Mrs Weasley gave Albert a hug. "Thank you Albert, if it wasn't for you to uncover the truth, Ginny wouldn't know what would have happened."
"What happened to Lockhart?" Professor McGonagall didn't forget about Lockhart.
"Tom Riddle obviously doesn't know that Professor Lockhart is a wizard who likes to brag. He probably thinks that Lockhart knew the location of the secret room and the general situation of the whole thing after overhearing me and Hermione." Albert shrugged helplessly and said, "As you all know, Professor Lockhart said he knew where the secret room was, and I also heard him say that he planned to write a book about himself in Hogg based on the secret room attack. Books from Watts' time as a professor of dark arts."
"So, in order to keep the secret room of the secret room, Tom Riddle controlled Ginny to attack Professor Lockhart and told him to shut up completely." Albert secretly changed the attack and went well, "I want to use the Flashback Charm. Checking Ginny's wand, it shouldn't be hard to spot the spell he used on Lockhart."
The expressions of everyone were extremely complicated. I didn't expect Lockhart to end up like that.
"Actually, Professor Lockhart may not have done this kind of thing for the first time. I mean stealing the results of others." Looking at the complicated crowd, Albert once again threw a bombshell, "I think Professor Lockhart is most likely a liar!"
"What secret did you discover?" Fred and George asked cooperatively.
"Of course, I don't have enough evidence, but in some ways it's not hard to see it." Albert pointed out mercilessly: "Actually, Lockhart's level of black magic is terrible. , I suspect some spells in the book that Professor Lockhart doesn't know at all, for which I asked him quite a few questions. Of course, the one that made me suspicious of him was a spell called Restoration Mantra, Lockhart Professor Te gave me a lot of information, and although I haven't learned the spell, I can see that it's not a random fabrication."
"Of course, the most direct evidence is the document Lockhart gave me. He probably didn't read it carefully. There are still a few clips in Armenian. Well, at the beginning, I actually didn't know what it was. , I found out that it was Armenian after I asked someone to inquire." Albert continued to the puzzled crowd: "Then I asked someone to help me find out. It is said that sometime before the 1980s, a very A brave and accomplished old Armenian wizard in Wagga Wagga, Australia, successfully helped the local residents subdue a fearsome and ferocious werewolf."
"You mean Lockhart stole the wizard's deeds"
"I heard that the old wizard seems to be very forgetful now, and I think he may have been erased by Professor Lockhart's memory." Albert said maliciously, "So, he gave My stuff is probably taken from the old wizard's house. Of course ~IndoMTL.com~ these are my speculations, there is no evidence of deeds!"
This time, everyone was blown up by the blockbuster thrown by Albert. They never thought that the famous Lockhart was a liar.
"Okay, everything has been sorted out. It's obviously not Miss Weasley's fault this time, the school won't punish her, she should go to the school hospital immediately and let Madam Pomfrey Check it out for her." Dumbledore looked at Albert with a smile again, "Excellent reasoning, without Mr. Albert, I'm afraid many of us would be left in the dark. Of course, and Harry, You bravely saved Miss Weasley, and you both received awards for exceptional contributions to the school, um, let me think...a two percent each for Gryffindor."
"I think Hagrid should be released, Azkaban Prison is not a good place." Albert reminded Dumbledore "kindly" again.
"You're right, I'll write a letter to Azkaban immediately...should bring our gamekeeper back." Dumbledore said softly, "I still need to draft a job advertisement. , in the Daily Prophet. We need a new teacher to teach Defence Against the Dark Arts again. Holy shit, the teachers in this class are draining fast, aren't they?"
"Maybe, Lockhart should resign early, maybe he can escape the disaster." Albert said without thinking, "The curse of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is terrible."
"I think what you need now is something to eat, then get a good night's sleep, and I'll have the house-elves prepare food for you." Dumbledore changed the subject.
Albert shrugged and left Professor McGonagall's office with everyone.
