The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 248
The waves outside the campus were rough, and Lockhart was like a small sampan in the sea. He would be overturned by the huge waves at some point and drown in the vast sea of ​​people.

The world has been suffering for Lockhart for a long time, and at this time, not only no one is there to help him, but one after another is throwing stones into the well, wishing to smash Lockhart to death in the well, so that he will never recover.

Whether it was the people who criticized Lockhart before or some people who ate melons, they all jumped out and began to criticize Lockhart, asking the Ministry of Magic to find out the matter and give justice to the magic world.

For the Ministry of Magic's delay in taking action, some radicals also expressed strong dissatisfaction in the newspapers. They suggested that everyone go to the Ministry of Magic to petition, or to march in Diagon Alley.

If it still doesn't work, they don't mind wandering around places like Big Ben and Westminster Abbey.

It was something Lockhart never expected to fall into such a situation. The letters he receives every day are all offensive in nature.

Some people stuffed dead rats in the parcels, others put balbo tuber juice in the envelopes, and they all ran to hurt Lockhart.

These "enthusiasms" made Lockhart very embarrassed, and he couldn't even carry out his favorite part of reading fan letters. He could no longer comfort himself through fans and suggest himself.

Facing the voices of questioning, Lockhart was still stubborn.He can't admit it, once he admits what he did, he will be all over, and the only thing waiting for him is ruin.

Obtaining their experiences from other wizards, and erasing the memories of these people, no matter which point, it is enough for him to squat in Azkaban for a long time.Lockhart couldn't let go of his fame and fortune, and he didn't want to go to Azkaban, so he couldn't admit these things to death.

As we all know, human beings usually have a bad memory, and they will quickly forget certain things selectively.

This is where Lockhart puts his hope. He believes that as long as he can continue to produce an "excellent" work, people will forget these "slanders" against him.He would also be the wizarding world's best-selling author and recipient of the Order of Merlin, Third Class.

As for the content of the new book, Lockhart already has plans. He really wants to write about the Hogwarts Chamber of Secrets, and by the way, he can clean himself up.However, Lockhart didn't know anything about the Chamber of Secrets, so he couldn't even start writing. He needed someone who knew everything about the Chamber of Secrets.

On the other side, Ada, who is closest to one of the secret rooms, is happily eating melons, and this time the melons can be eaten with confidence, and there is no need to worry about eating them again.

If she didn't know that she didn't sleepwalk, Ada would think that these articles and reports were published anonymously by herself.It's just that the inside story she knew was obviously not as detailed as Rita Skeeter's. This female reporter seemed to have seen it with her own eyes.

Ada also didn't know that Lockhart moved his idea to the secret room. If she knew about it, she would probably run to chat with Lockhart happily.If Lockhart wanted to explore the Chamber of Secrets, she didn't mind giving him a hand.

Just so understanding, just so helpful.Ada has always been bitter about not being able to deal with Lockhart on the meaningful day of 3.

There was a turbulent storm outside the school, but the inside of the school was abnormally calm, which was very different from Hogwarts a few months ago.However, under the seemingly calm sea, there is an invisible undercurrent surging.

Fred and George had just celebrated their 15th birthdays in early April, and they were one step closer to growing up.Just when they were still happy about this, something big and small happened in the Gryffindor common room.

There was another theft from the Gryffindor common room, and unlike before, someone lost something.The diary picked up by Harry Potter is lost, the diary written by Tom Riddle when he was a student.

After the day's Quidditch training, Harry dragged his exhausted body back to the waiting room.As soon as he came back, he found that his dormitory had been turned over in a mess, and Harry had lost nothing except the diary.

Hogwarts is really full of stupid thieves. The purpose of burglary is to get a blank diary. Even people with poor brains will realize the importance of this diary.

What's more, Harry is not stupid, he already knows how to use the diary, and even communicated with Tom Riddle.The loss of the diary immediately aroused his vigilance, and a bad premonition welled up in his heart.

For some reason, Harry tossed and turned that night and couldn't sleep, thinking that another attack might happen.

The weather in April made Hogwarts much warmer, and the trees sprouted new vitality.It's just that Harry didn't care to appreciate the spring flowers in front of him. He, Ron, and Hermione hurried out of the castle, walked across the grassy slope, and walked towards the Black Lake.

Having not slept all night, Harry's eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes. If Snape saw such eyes, he might feel so distressed!

As soon as the three of Harry arrived near the Black Lake, they saw an off-white Labrador rushing towards them.Harry was right, Ada and the twins were here.

Gallon ran to the side of the three of Harry, wagging its tail happily. When Harry and Hermione reached out to stroke it, it would stick out its tongue and lick their palms.

However, Ron received a cold reception. Garen circled around Ron, and did not allow the boy to touch him until he confirmed that the boy did not smell of stinky rats.

By the Black Lake, Fred and George were imitating Oliver Wood, who was furious and cursing, with both spirit and form, and Ada, who was sitting on the boulder, couldn't stop laughing.

At this moment, the edge of the Black Lake was still very clear, and Ada naturally noticed the approach of Harry and the three of them. She greeted her with a smile and said, "Good morning, what brings the three of you here?"

Normally, Harry, Ron, and Hermione seldom come here, or they won't come here so early, that's why Ida asked this question.

Straight to the point, without any nonsense, Harry said directly: "The boys' dormitory in Gryffindor was stolen yesterday, did you know?"

"Of course!" said Fred. "I was still there. Did you realize that you had lost something?"

"Yes," said Harry gravely, "I've lost a diary."

This made the twins a little puzzled, it shouldn't be a big deal to lose a diary, why did Harry have such a serious expression.George asked: "What diary? Is it important? Could it be that one of your fans wants to know about your private life?"

Harry sighed resignedly. The twins always liked to "trick" him, and would joke that he was "rushing to have tea with the servant with the tusk in the Chamber of Secrets".

Harry continued: "The diary is not mine, but I picked it up by accident. This diary belongs to Tom Riddle. Do you know the name?"

Hearing this name, Ada and the twins fell silent at the same time, the playful expression on their faces disappeared, replaced by seriousness, Harry knew he had asked the right person.

"You've heard the name, haven't you?" Harry asked anxiously, eager to know Tom Riddle's identity, so that he could figure out what the diary could be used for besides broadcasting.

Hermione also said: "I also searched for this name, but I didn't find anything. I only know that he is the president of the student union and has won a special contribution award."

"Tom Riddle, you should be very familiar, Harry." Ida jumped off the stone, she said in a deep voice, "or you should be familiar with his other name, he just gave you The one who left the scar."

Harry was struck by lightning, and his mind went blank. It turned out that the person he trusted so much before had a blood feud with him.Harry blurted out, "Voldemort!"

Ron and Hermione shivered together at the name.The faces of Fred and George also became ugly, but the two brothers had been in touch with Ida a lot, so they would not be intimidated by this name for a long time.

"When did you get Tom Riddle's diary?" Ada asked, "He is the heir of Slytherin, and he opened the Chamber of Secrets 50 years ago!"

Harry was completely dumbfounded, the reversal was a bit too sudden, the amount of information suddenly became so large, his brain was a bit out of order.

　Thanks to the book friend Ding X Karma for the reward.Please forgive my ignorance, I really don't know the word in the middle of the name.
