Hogwarts: Where the Pokémon Are - #195 - Chapter 195 Death Eater Lockhart (I have a cold, my head was not feeling well yesterday, so there wi

It is not that difficult to understand that Grindelwald would want to get the power in the Chamber of Secrets left by Slytherin.

Nearly half a century ago, Grindelwald lost to Dumbledore in a duel. At that time, his invincible Elder Wand changed hands. Although he also has a wand, it is still a little inferior to those legendary wands.

In addition, not many people know the whereabouts of the snakewood wand. Many people only know that “Voldemort” took a tree in Ilvermorny not long ago and turned it into a wand, but who knows that? Is this wand Slytherin’s wand?

Even if not, Slytherin’s secret chamber is likely to contain Slytherin’s legacy. If he can obtain the legacy of this great wizard, it will be much easier for Grindelwald to make a comeback.

Perhaps for this reason, during the following period, Lockhart was very concerned about finding the successor who opened the Chamber of Secrets.

Both Xia Lin and Dumbledore knew this tacitly, especially Dumbledore. He believed that Lockhart might be a follower of Grindelwald, so he hardly explained his matter to any professor.

But in fact, both of them were wrong.

Lockhart is not a saint at all, let alone Grindelwald himself!

“Who will be the successor of Slytherin? It can’t be Harry Potter!” Lockhart thought about it. He subconsciously stuck out his tongue and licked his lips. “The successor of Slytherin can only be Harry Potter.” From Slytherin!”

“I remember that the Chamber of Secrets was opened fifty years ago when the master was still in school. Who was the person who opened the Chamber of Secrets last time?” A huge figure flashed through Lockhart’s mind.

– Rubeus Hagrid?

It feels ridiculous to think about it.

There is no doubt that the big, brainless guy is nothing more than a scapegoat. The person who can truly open the Chamber of Secrets can only be the great Dark Lord, Voldemort himself!

Lockhart became excited. Who would have thought that he just came to Hogwarts to see how powerful the Pokémon that so-called defeated their masters were, and that he would encounter such a thing.

“I knew it! I knew it!”

“How could the Dark Lord be killed?”

“He’s at Hogwarts!”

“He’s at Hogwarts!”

Lockhart’s expression gradually became crazy. As long as he found the person who opened the secret room, he could see the Dark Lord again! The facial features on his face suddenly twisted, waking him up from his excitement.

He took a big gulp of the compound potion before he stabilized himself.

Then, a new problem posed before him – who was the person who opened the secret room?

After going round and round, I still can’t escape the truth.

Lockhart thought for a while and decided to start with Hagrid. Although that idiot couldn’t be the one who opened the secret room, he had some connection with the secret room after all. What happened fifty years ago was too long ago, and even he was not very clear about it.

Lockhart rushed out of his office and planned to walk to Hagrid’s cabin. But soon, he stopped.

Because when passing by the playground, he ran into the conflict between the Slytherin team and the Gryffindor team.

Even in Hogwarts, where Pokémon exists, Quidditch is still one of the most popular sports among young wizards. After all, who would say no to the thrilling experience of flying? However, due to Pokémon, the training progress of the four academy teams is now very delayed.

This conflict that was supposed to happen before Halloween actually didn’t happen until now.

A group of people from the Slytherin team held a row of new brooms in their hands and looked at the little lions opposite with arrogance. Lockhart saw Malfoy, who was very conspicuous despite being short in the crowd, and suddenly became angry.

“The son of a traitor!”

He muttered something harshly and walked toward the playground aggressively.

He didn’t think much of the Malfoy family in the first place. Now, since escaping from trouble, he has heard that the annihilation of the Death Eaters this time was closely related to the betrayal of Malfoy and Snape, so when he saw the eyesore The white-haired Lockhart felt annoyed and angry.

So he immediately walked over there.

“At least no member of the Gryffindor team needs to be bought to join the team. They come in purely based on their ability.”

Lockhart heard the Mudblood witch named Hermione screeching sarcastically.

Malfoy’s proud face darkened.

But surprisingly, no dirty words were said. This couldn’t help but make Lockhart curse in his heart. He was worthy of being Malfoy’s son. Even this cowardly appearance was perfectly inherited from Lucius. He was ridiculed to such an extent that he didn’t even say a harsh word.

In fact, Malfoy still respects Hermione now. Under the influence of Xia Lin, he doesn’t have much dislike for a very capable wizard like Hermione.

Noble bloodline may not necessarily lead to achievements, a person’s ability is the most important.

It just so happens that Hermione Granger is a very capable witch.

But it’s obviously not Malfoy’s character to be scolded passively.

“Shut up, Granger! If you’re not convinced, you can challenge me!” Malfoy immediately took out an elf ball provocatively. He hasn’t tried the power of the Rice Spoon Snake that he got from that book!

“I can deal with you without Hermione taking action!” Ron immediately stopped in front of Hermione.

“——That’s it!” Lockhart stopped the fight in time, and the young wizards still gave appropriate respect to this substitute teacher of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class who seemed to be a little exaggerated.

“Professor,” Wood squeezed out of the crowd, “We reserved the stadium first! It has been agreed long ago that the practice time of each academy team and the Pokémon Club are staggered. Today, the playground belongs to us!”

“But we also have notes approved by the professor.” Marcus Flint said without showing any signs of weakness. It was not that he was deliberately looking for trouble, but that the competition was approaching and they had to spend more time training. As for the Pokémon Club, a few times of non-participation is allowed.

“Then first come, first served, friends.” Lockhart favored Harry Potter over Slytherin without hesitation. On the one hand, it is because he hates Malfoy, and on the other hand, he is also disguising himself, just like Snape was “forced” to go against Harry before.

Who would have thought that a person who helped Harry Potter in every possible way would actually be a subordinate of the Dark Lord?

In fact, just as he wished, both Dumbledore and Xia Lin discovered that something was wrong with him, but they all mistakenly thought that he was Grindelwald’s subordinate.

For this reason, Dumbledore also specifically asked the guards of Nurmengard, but the news he received said that Grindelwald had begun to repent.

This made him wonder if it was a decision made by one of Grindelwald’s followers without authorization.

After getting rid of the annoying Malfoy, Lockhart felt better.

“Thank you, Professor!” Harry said happily.

For this substitute teacher who occasionally appeared in class, Harry had changed from regret at the beginning to acceptance, and even Ron believed that Lockhart lived up to his reputation – except in terms of destroying goblins.

Hermione, who likes reading, naturally admires Lockhart immensely, but not to the extent of the original novel.

In the original book, Hermione simply became Lockhart’s crazy fan because of his good looks, but now – it’s not like she hasn’t seen handsome guys before. If Lockhart wants to charm her, he should first write a book called “My Journey with Pokémon”.

“Easy to do!”

Harry continued training with the other players, and Hermione and Ron invited Lockhart to sit in the auditorium.

“Professor, why are you here?”

“I’m just wandering around to see if I can find any clues.” Lockhart said in a conscientious tone. “Although it was just Mr. Filch’s cat that had an accident last time, there is really a secret room.” Was it opened, or someone’s prank, it’s a bit too much!”

“Now the cat has not been petrified. Professor Xia Lin kindly gave Mr. Filch a exploring mouse, but it did not cheer him up. Although I am only a substitute teacher, since I am in this school, I also need to do my part! You can’t turn a blind eye just because you say that no little wizard has been injured yet. I don’t think Professor Dumbledore has done a good enough job in this regard.”

Hearing this, Hermione and Ron couldn’t help but nodded.

In fact, they felt as if the professors did not take this matter very seriously.

Even Professor Xia Lin didn’t seem to want to get involved.

In fact, after the last attack, they went to Professor Xia Lin and told them their guesses about Malfoy. But Professor Xia Lin believes that they must have enough evidence.

Now, seeing how concerned Lockhart was about this matter, they felt a sense of intimacy.

Hermione was still hesitating whether to tell others about her guesses. Then I heard Lockhart say: “I’m going to find Rubeus Hagrid. He has been the gamekeeper at Hogwarts for a long time. I believe he might be able to give me some useful information. If you find any clues, you can come too. Find me.”

With that said, Lockhart stood up, patted his butt, and walked towards Hagrid’s hut.

Looking at his back, Ron opened his mouth and said, “Hermione, what do you think would happen if we told Professor Lockhart about our suspicion of Malfoy?”

“This… let’s ask Harry.” Hermione still didn’t make up her mind in the end.

After finally waiting until Harry finished training, without even having time to change clothes, Hermione told him what they had just thought.

“How vulgar Professor Lockhart?” Harry frowned.

He was actually reluctant to tell the professor about this. After all, as Xia Lin said, they actually had no evidence.

“But we can ask him for help! Hermione, what if he would give us a note from the restricted area?”

Hermione had mentioned to them before that if they wanted to refine compound potions, they had to get the book “Powerful Potions”, which happened to be in the restricted book area. But if you want to enter the forbidden book area, you must have a teacher’s approval note, but I’m afraid there are no such stupid teachers in Hogwarts.

“If he also wants to find the murderer, maybe he will help us!” Ron’s eyes also brightened, “Then let’s go quickly, he just went to find Hagrid.”

Several people hurriedly walked towards Hagrid’s hut.

Knocked on the door and a big guy came out. There was also a small fire dragon in his arms.

This was hatched from an egg that Xia Lin had agreed to send to him at that time, but Xia Lin took it back at that time. Although Hagrid’s temperament has not changed much now, he is finally not so confused about magical animals and Pokémon. The difference between.

“It’s you! Come in and have tea!” Hagrid was very happy. “I asked Xia Lin for some Xinzi fruit. Charmander likes to eat it. Do you want to try it?”

Hagrid took out a large bunch of pepper-like fruits, broke one off and put it into his mouth. His face immediately turned red from the heat.

“I have to say that the spicy part needs Xinzi fruit to be delicious!”

The three little ones shook their heads crazily. It is said that no one can eat a whole fruit of this tree at once! In the end, Hahaig actually used it as a snack, which was really scary!

“Hagrid, we are here to see Professor Lockhart.”

“Lockhart?” Hagrid was stunned, tears actually flashed in his eyes, “Good man! He is such a good man!”

Hagrid, who hated Lockhart in the original book, was full of praise for Lockhart in this deck. He even used a very important word in his poor vocabulary – good person!

“Actually, I used to dislike him. It’s not just me. Ask other teachers and students in the school. Everyone is the same! No one likes Lockhart! He has done too many ridiculous things, but After so many years, he has changed a lot!”

Hagrid became more and more emotional as he talked. He simply picked up the tablecloth and wiped his tears and nose.

There was a loud, trumpet-like sound of nose blowing, which almost deafened the three little wizards.

“What happened to him, Hagrid?”

“Oh – nothing, but he wanted to believe me, and no one but Dumbledore wanted to believe me -” Hagrid cried. This scene shocked everyone in Harry. A tall man of two to three meters in height would look a little weird looking at him.

But compared to these, Harry was more concerned about what Hagrid said, but Hagrid was unwilling to reveal more.

Several people returned without success, and Lockhart did not stay with Hagrid for long.

But isn’t it easy to find a professor at Hogwarts?

That night, the three Harrys found Lockhart.

“professor–“

“It’s you, what’s wrong so late?”

“No, just – we wanted to ask if you could give us a note to borrow a book from the restricted area?” Harry summoned the courage to say.

“Regarding the last attack, we have a suspect but no evidence. Maybe-“
