Spotted By Grindelwald And Went To Hogwarts Chapter 426: Cruel Lockhart

,!

Hogwarts Castle, third floor.

At the door of the original girls' bathroom, the stone wall squirmed, and Sean pushed the door and walked out.

He glanced inside casually, and it turned out to be the girls' bathroom where Moaning Myrtle was, but due to the basilisk accident in the second year, Dumbledore sealed it up, and it has not been opened until now.

A quarter of the power of Hogwarts Castle is still hidden in the Slytherin's secret room below, but Sean dare not go down because Gormley Gaunt said that Salazar Slytherin is returning.

Xiao En suspects that this also has something to do with the returnees. Before he is sure, he is not going to go down and ask for trouble.

Not long after he stood still, Stephanie walked out from the stone wall.

The petite silver-haired girl had calm eyes and even held a book in her arms.

Without unnecessary nonsense and opening remarks, Stephanie said: "After notifying the professors, I will monitor Professor Lockhart here. He does have a problem."

"Huh? He noticed something?" Sean asked.

"Yes," Stephanie nodded, "His state is very different from before. He looks very restless and restless, and he was already packing his luggage when I first came here."

"Sure enough, he also left a memory switch that can notify him..." Sean thought about it and said, "But he is not sure if he will be discovered, and Hogwarts is very strict now, he has no ability to escape..."

Who knows, Stephanie shook her head.

"Not necessarily, I thought the same as you at first, but slowly I felt something was wrong."

Sean said "Oh?" "How?"

"Professor Lockhart's speed of organizing things is too slow. You can say that he didn't decide whether to run away because of hesitation, but in such a long time, he only put away those few gorgeous robes, and stuffed a few letters from admirers. Most importantly, he has been watching the door and windows. Although his movements are small, he is indeed watching."

"Look?" Sean was a little puzzled.

Stephanie nodded: "He's looking to see if there are any watchers—once someone occasionally walks past in the corridor, Professor Lockhart will immediately speed up his packing and show an anxious expression."

Sean raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled up a little.

"He's pretending, he wants to delay time..."

"Yes, Professor Lockhart should have realized that his identity has been exposed, but he is pretending—his disguise is impossible to work, no one will know this, then there is only one possibility, he is delaying time, delaying time for another person to complete something, such as sending away the prophecy memory that you and the professors have not found."

Sean smiled: "I didn't expect Mr. Lockhart to have such awareness, I really didn't expect..."

Stephanie's expression is still calm: "But you have counted."

"I'm just used to making all the preparations..." Sean spread his hands, "Looking at the time, Professor McGonagall should have solved it, right?"

As soon as the voice fell, footsteps came from the stairs next to it.

Professor McGonagall led several people up with serious expressions, each holding a wand in their hands.

They saw Sean and Stephanie, Professor McGonagall trotted two steps: "Sean, are you here?"

"Here we are, I found some evidence——Professor, your office has been patronized again?" Sean said with a smile.

Professor McGonagall nodded: "When you asked Miss Ollivander to notify me, I took someone there. Sure enough, another controlled student was looking for something in my office."

"It seems that the thing they lost is really important." Sean hooked the corner of his mouth, "However, it's time for our Defense Against the Dark Arts professor to be laid off."

As soon as this was mentioned, Professor McGonagall's face became more and more gloomy.

She originally hated Lockhart, an idiot who can only talk big and can't teach the students knowledge. Now, the other party has become an inner ghost, posing a threat to the safety of all the students.

"Let's go."

Professor McGonagall took the lead, and then opened the office of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class with a spell without any greetings.

The wooden door smashed against the wall with a "boom", and the scene of the room inside was exposed to everyone's eyes.

There are countless framed photos of Lockhart hanging on the wall, which are extremely brightly illuminated by many candles. However, the man who smiles elegantly and confidently in the photos looks very flustered in reality.

Lockhart stood in the middle of the office, several large suitcases were open, and he was anxiously stuffing various things into them.

"Oh, oh." Lockhart saw Professor McGonagall and others barging in. He slowed down the movement of his hands, and very deliberately tucked a robe behind his back.

"Is there anything you can do for me? As you can see, I have to tidy up my room every once in a while. After all, too many admirers give me gifts—" Lockhart maintained his stiff smile, and spoke at an unreasonably fast speed. "Professor McGonagall? Are you bringing so many people with you, do you want to invite me to start a big defense class? Oh—of course I would, but please give me some time, I need to tidy up..."

"Stupefy" a red light shot out, directly hitting Lockhart who was trying to stall for time.

Professor McGonagall had a sullen face, not wanting to listen to Lockhart's nonsense at all.

Lockhart flew upside down and hit the wall heavily, the photo frames fell down and smashed into pieces, Lockhart and the others showed their smiles that won the most charming award from "Wizard Weekly" in a mess.

It must be painful... Sean and Stephanie looked at each other.

He took a step forward, and threw a few more spells on the unconscious Lockhart.

Since he has something to do with the Returner, even Lockhart, Sean will not let his guard down.

Professor McGonagall was not displeased with Sean's various binding spells and hypnotizing spells, but even frowned.

"Operate carefully, Mr. Wallop, and give Ravenclaw ten points."

Lockhart was tied up, and the others began a quick search of his office.

However, even if the ceiling was turned over, nothing useful was found.

"That memory has been sent away." Sean glanced at Lockhart, and then said to Professor McGonagall.

Professor McGonagall's expression is not very good-looking, she sighed: "Wait for the news from Felius, I hope that is the last one hidden."

Sean said to Lockhart, "Open his mouth first."

Professor McGonagall nodded, and soon, Snape came to the scene.

After the old bat came in, it first glanced at Sean. Sean was shocked, and after subconsciously taking a few steps away from Stephanie, the old bat looked away.

This old bat is so annoying... Sean secretly cursed, not daring to show any expression on his face.

Snape went over to operate, and the drowsy Lockhart opened his eyes.

"Uh, uh..." He groaned in pain, and after shaking his head vigorously, he regained some sober consciousness, and then his face immediately turned pale.

"Merlin's beard... What are you, what are you going to do to me? God, how can you attack your colleagues? I know, my talent is always so dazzling, and it is easy to cover up your light—but you can't blame me!"

Lockhart yelled in panic, but what came out of his mouth made Snape's eyes darken even more.

"Don't try to delay the time, Mr. Lockhart." Sean said lightly.

Lockhart's expression froze, and he forced a smile: "I don't know what you're talking about, Mr. Wallop—and you have to call me a professor, don't you? Professor Dumbledore hasn't fired me yet..."

"Do you feel that you don't get too many points from me? It's all trivial, you are already very good, of course, I don't mind sharing my success experience with you at all..."

Lockhart was talking nonsense, trying to delay it a little longer.

Shawn shook his head: "Lockhart, I'm really curious about what price they offered, or how they threatened you to make a coward like you do these things regardless of your own safety."

Lockhart was stunned, with obvious pain in his eyes, and then smiled reluctantly and said: "I, I don't know what you are talking about... Oh, yes! I have the third-level badge of the Knights of Merlin! You can't do this to me!"

He yelled like crazy: "Let me see Dumbledore! Let me see the Minister of Magic! You can't do this to me!"

Sean frowned, the pain in the other person's eyes did not seem to be fake... Could it be that he was so cruel to himself?

The others didn't have time to listen to his nonsense anymore, Snape directly pressed Lockhart's chin, and poured the veritaserum into it.

Lockhart's chest trembled, and his eyes became lifeless and confused.

Sean asked directly, "Who are you working for?"

Lockhart trembled, and the pain spread again.

"I, I don't know...I don't know..."

There was no mercy on Sean's face: "Are you and Max Dawson in the same group?"

It is still painful not to know.

Sure enough, you are really cruel to yourself...

Sean looked at several professors: "He has slapped himself hard. If I'm not wrong, Lockhart has already revised most of his memories about these things. He is in such pain because of conflicts."

Professor McGonagall frowned, and she asked, "What task are you receiving now?"

Lockhart finally calmed down. He took a deep breath trembling, and replied in a dry voice without emotion: "When I was discovered, delay your time so that the things can have a chance to be sent out. In addition, I will do my best to recover the things that you have seized, and if necessary, I can expose myself and send the things back."

That black rhomboid crystal is so important?

Slight surprise appeared in Sean's eyes.

Professor McGonagall continued to ask: "Who is your contact person? How do you send it out?"

"I don't have a contact person, I just need someone to send the things out." Lockhart's mouth drooled, "I used the Imperius Curse to control Mrs. Puddiffe, and she will be responsible for sending the things out."

"How to send it?" Professor McGonagall asked.

Lockhart showed a painful look again: "I, I don't know."

Sean took out a note and shook it in front of him: "Have you revised all the previous memories? Just left some things to remind yourself?"

Lockhart nodded blankly: "Yes, this will ensure my... my loyalty."

"Tch, loyalty..." Sean laughed mockingly, "But your loyalty probably won't be delivered, Mrs. Puddiffe should have been brought under control."

There was obvious shock in Lockhart's eyes, and even Professor McGonagall sighed and looked at Sean.

"Sean, how do you know?"

Shawn spread his hands: "Nick told me that he met Professor Trelawney when he was following Max Dawson. At that time, I focused my attention on Dawson. And when I found out that there was something wrong with Lockhart, I thought of what Nick said at the time, 'Fortunately, Mr. Dawson didn't go to Mrs. Puddiffe's teahouse. That's where Lockhart came out. If he did, he would have to endure that guy's bragging...'. I just asked Stephanie to inform you that Mrs. Puddiffe should be dealt with first, and I even suspect that Ms. Rosmerta is just a cover, and the person who sent the prophecy memory should be Mrs. Puddiffe."

After speaking, Sean glanced at Lockhart. At this time, the other party's eyes had completely lost their luster.

At this time, there were footsteps outside the house, and Professor Flitwick ran over.

The Charms professor's voice was sharp and excited: "It's Mrs. Puddiffe, she is also under control. Fortunately, you notified her in time. When I arrived with people, she was about to leave Hogsmeade!"

"What's the situation?" Professor McGonagall asked.

"Didn't let her escape!" Professor Flitwick said sharply ~IndoMTL.com~ and then showed some annoyance, "But she was controlled by the Imperius Curse, we couldn't hit her too hard, and although we finally caught her, Mrs. Puddiffe had obviously received orders to destroy things!"

Speaking, Professor Flitwick took out a broken bottle, and there were only traces of silver flakes left in it.

All kinds of situations are considered in place...

Shawn frowned and let go, and said, "At least they didn't get that prophecy memory. Although we don't know what prophecy they will get, incomplete prophecy may not be useful to them."

"It's a blessing in misfortune." Professor McGonagall sighed, then looked at Sean again, "Lockhart, do you want to ask any more questions?"

Shawn shook his head: "Professor, you can ask."

He also has a lot of experience in memory charms, knowing that there is a high probability that he will not be able to ask anything. Lockhart is not good at other things. He is really good at playing with memory, but he doesn't know what this idiot is for.

But it’s okay, there was no big mess, but it’s really bad that Hogwarts has been infiltrated...
