And if it was really just an accident, then Harry will admit it, and at worst, he will go to the mountains to be a savage for a few days!
Thinking of this, after Harry recorded all the clues he found in his notebook, he gave up thinking about this question and continued to study seriously.
During this period of time, the atmosphere in the school has indeed become a lot more depressed, but as time passed, after the attack did not happen again, everyone became the same as before.
And with the restart of Quidditch, the Quidditch game has greatly relieved everyone's tension, as if nothing happened.
Harry even relied on his excellent skills to grab the golden snitch first in the game against Slytherin and win the game.
However, when everyone returned to the castle happily, a bad news came again.
Crabbe and Goyle in Slytherin have been petrified and are now in the infirmary.
All of a sudden, the joy brought by Quidditch disappeared, and the fear brought by it disappeared. Everyone was afraid that they would be the next target.
Among them, Slytherin is even more insecure.
All three incidents were from Slytherins, and all were from pure-blood families, raising the suspicion that they were pure-blood attacks.
Malfoy turned pale with fright after hearing the news. It is said that his father, Lucius, wrote a letter that night, hoping to go home.
The school board was alarmed by this and began to gradually put pressure on Dumbledore.
But at this moment, Lockhart stood up.
He laughed and announced to everyone that he would hold a fighting club, and that he would give everyone his adventure skills over the years so that everyone would no longer be attacked.
As soon as this matter came out, everyone signed up enthusiastically, and even Professor Flitwick and Professor Snape joined in to hold a fighting club with Lockhart.
Harry is naturally no exception. Although he often accepts Roja's training, he will not refuse the training of other professors. What's more, this is a good opportunity to observe Lockhart.
Yes, Harry was very suspicious of Lockhart now.
After all, the contrast between Lockhart's front and back is too great.
When we met in the bookstore before, Lockhart couldn't even control the explosive spell, and he didn't even dodge Lucius' attack at all.
After Roja's training, Harry would not misread a person's reaction.
Lockhart's reaction at the time was obviously a novice in combat, and he had no defense against the opponent's attack at all. On the contrary, Lucius' attack was very sophisticated, with perfect timing and accuracy.
But after he started teaching, although it was not obvious from the knowledge-based teaching at the beginning, Lockhart seemed to be a completely different person when he cast spells, and even some spell-casting habits changed.
This made Harry have to wonder if there was something wrong with Lockhart. Coupled with the lessons he learned from Professor Quirrell last semester, Harry began to investigate his problems with Lockhart before and after the attack.
In fact, Harry did find a lot of evidence, but none of these evidences could be completely confirmed.
This is why superpowers cannot appear in reasoning works, because that would make a lot of evidence irrelevant.
For example, Lockhart has never come out of the office since he entered the office, and he has never seen the portrait outside. It is entirely possible to use invisibility cloaks or disillusionment spells to avoid the sight of others to prove his alibi.
The only loophole Lockhart has so far that isn't a loophole is that he's had diarrhea for days on end and has been away for a while on Halloween.
For wizards, diarrhea is not a problem that cannot be solved, and it can often be solved by taking potion, and Lockhart has indeed asked Madam Pomfrey for potion a few days ago, as long as he drank it, he should be fine. Stop diarrhea.
But if Lockhart had been cursed, it wouldn't be a loophole, so Harry couldn't be sure.
With Crabbe and Goyle being attacked, the suspicion of Lockhart who was not in the auditorium further increased, but that was it.
Therefore, for now, the only way is to observe Lockhart carefully and try to find his flaws.
While practicing freely in the fighting club, Harry chatted casually with Lockhart who came to guide him.
"Professor, I heard that you have been suffering from diarrhea for a while. I wonder if it's getting better?" Harry asked while waving his wand while practicing the swinging posture.
"Thank you for your relationship, Harry." Lockhart maintained a charming smile, "Although the process has been terrible, I have been much better recently."
"That's good," Harry nodded, and then said seemingly casually, "I also had diarrhea before, but it was fine after taking Madam Pomfrey's medicine. I heard that you also took it before but it didn't get better. So I'm a little worried."
"After all, I've heard that there are some curses that make people like this, and it gets worse with time."
Harry was definitely being honest when he said that, because he'd actually experienced diarrheal stuff, even Malfoy had.
"...It should be fine, after all, I am quite healthy now." Lockhart was thoughtful, and then smiled a little forcedly. "But what you said makes sense. I'll do an exorcism ceremony later to see if I can get rid of bad luck."
===============
The remaining two more will be posted in the evening.
The foreshadowing is over, and we are about to enter the final moment ψ(`??)ψ
Harry Potter and the Wizard Merlin: 68 Shows of Love Regardless of Age ([-]th update, please subscribe)
Looking at Lockhart's figure, Harry thought deeply, something was wrong with him.
Although there is a high probability that there should be no substitutions, but he should have indeed been exposed to some very bad things.
But now was not the time to think about it, and Harry quickly resumed training in earnest.
In the next few days, Harry began to deliberately follow Lockhart's movements, trying to find the reason for Lockhart's changes.
But let’s not talk about this for now, let’s talk about Roja first.
After a period of exchanging and stealing, Dumbledore and Grindelwald have collected quite a few relics.
Some of the relics even had some magic on them, obviously not complete fakes.
"So is it really useful to collect these things?" Grindelwald was still a little unsure about holding a cross. The cross in his hand obviously had no magic power at all, it was just a pure historical item.
"Of course it's useful, it's better to say it's too useful." Roja stroked these sacred objects happily, and took the cross from Grindelwald's hand. "It's just that you don't know how to use it at all."
Roja touched the cross and felt the sincere faith inside.It is not an exaggeration to say that if this cross is brought back to the era he lived in, the cross will directly become an artifact because of the belief contained in it, and it is not impossible to exaggerate to become a god directly.
And in this day and age...
Roja held the cross in front of his chest and drew a holy seal, "The evil is gone!"
Accompanied by Roja's loud shout, a dazzling white light burst out from the cross, and directly bounced Grindelwald who was caught off guard.
It was still Dumbledore who caught Grindelwald with a quick levitation spell, otherwise he didn't know how many bones would be broken when the old bone fell to the ground.
"How did you do it?" The first thing Grindelwald did after he woke up was not to ask questions, but to ask Roja with a look of surprise. "I tried to cast a magic spell and there was no response. It felt like I was a Squib."
"I just inspired the faith on it," Roja reached out and wiped the cross, because the surface of the holy wave that was released just now became a little darker. "In fact, if you haven't practiced too much black magic, you won't feel imprisoned by magic at all, it will only be a little uncomfortable. Dumbledore is indeed better than you in this regard."
"If he was hit by the impact just now, he would probably take a few steps back."
Hearing this sentence, Grindelwald's face darkened. He glanced at Dumbledore next to him, and as expected, he saw the familiar expression on his face.
"Don't say anything!" Grindelwald looked at Dumbledore and said, "Every time you show this expression, you have to pretend that you are not good, but in fact you are praising yourself. In Merlin's words What's going on?"
Grindelwald looked at Roja.
"Versailles."
"Yes, Versailles, very Versailles!" Grindelwald obviously hated this point of his old friend, "You just said 'Gelot, the transfiguration is too difficult', and you turned the table next to you into a wild boar .You tell me where is the difficulty?"
"I didn't expect you to remember this after so long." Dumbledore was somewhat dumbfounded, but these memories of his youth really made people feel warm. "But I remember that you turned that wild boar into a sheep without backhanding back then? You also said that my pig's nose hasn't improved, so I really didn't learn well."
"Okay, okay." Roja hurriedly stopped the two old men from showing affection in front of him.
"Since everything is almost found, it's time to prepare for the final ceremony."
"What else is needed for the ceremony?" The two old men also became more serious, and Grindelwald asked directly. "Although my understanding of rituals is not as good as yours, I'm not like Xiaobai, thinking that these are enough."
"Actually, it is enough." Roja shrugged innocently, "It's just that the gods created with only these will only be myths and legends, and because there are too many sources of belief, they will be insane."
"Therefore, we need a wizard who is strong enough to act as a filter for these beliefs, so that the gods that emerge will become rational, and at the same time have human weaknesses."
Dumbledore and Grindelwald were silent for a while, and then Dumbledore said in a deep voice; "Let me be the filter of faith, as long as Ariana can be revived afterwards..."
"What nonsense are you talking about, Albus." Grindelwald interrupted Dumbledore directly, and said in a frivolous tone, "This kind of thing is very suitable for a Dark Lord like me, and Ariana is yours." Sister, I have no obligation to watch her after you die."
Obviously he was talking about sending him to death, but Grindelwald's tone seemed to be an understatement as if he was saying that he would eat donuts tomorrow morning.
"Gellert, I can't..." Dumbledore was very moved, but he would not allow his friends and lovers to sacrifice for this again, this is his responsibility as an elder brother.
"Then I can't do it anymore!" Grindelwald's tone became severe, as if he had become the Dark Lord who wanted to burn the whole of Paris.
"Okay, okay, I told you not to flirt in front of me, be careful that I really use you as sacrifice material." Roja clapped his hands and said loudly, cursing at the same time.
It was unbearable for the two old men to show their affection in front of him, and the most unbearable thing was that Roja still felt quite moved, because they really wanted to sacrifice for each other.
"But without us, who else can be called a great wizard, it can't be..." Grindelwald looked puzzled, but he suddenly realized as he spoke.
"Tom," Dumbledore's eyes seemed to flash a bright light, "if it is him, he is indeed a suitable candidate."
"But Tom is far away in the forests of Albania now, and we can hardly find him in the forests over there."
"Then go find it. If it doesn't work, burn that forest. He won't die anyway." Grindelwald was full of motivation. He had long been unhappy with Voldemort, but he didn't have the chance before.
"Leave it to me." Roja stopped Grindelwald, "I will catch Voldemort myself, and if he is to be sacrificed, I also need to do something."
"And instead of looking for his body, you might as well stare at the Horcrux in the school."
"So the previous attack was really done by Tom?" Dumbledore thought thoughtfully, "I see."

Tom feels that he has been getting more and more unlucky lately.
I don't know if it's because of the few words said by that nasty kid in Harry Potter, but Lockhart seems to be consciously looking for his abnormal situation recently.
Fortunately, the two had already had a deep connection before that, which allowed Tom to come out ahead of time and eliminate the clues every time Lockhart wanted to find clues.
However, this is not a long-term solution after all.
So Voldemort increased his level of trouble, and attacked several pure blood Slytherins.
Facing the serious incident of someone specifically attacking the little pure-blood wizard, the school board finally couldn't sit still.They didn't give Dumbledore any chance to make excuses, and directly launched a collective referendum to remove Dumbledore and punish him for his ineffective work.
Because the pure-blood family made such a big fuss about it, even the Ministry of Magic knew about it.
The Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, came here to communicate with Dumbledore, hoping to allow the two sides to have a good talk.
It's a pity that, facing the school board led by Lucius, Connelly really has no majesty, and even Dumbledore can only avoid the edge temporarily and leave the school.
The school was temporarily handed over to Professor McGonagall.
And the direct consequence of this is that all students' students no longer dare to gloat.
Facing Professor McGonagall's serious eyes, the students didn't even dare to speak loudly.
But after Dumbledore left, the attacks became rarer, and the school's reputation moved in a strange direction.
Of course, everyone would not believe that Dumbledore was the one who attacked the pure blood of Slytherin (many people sighed because of this), but everyone also speculated whether the attacker was targeting Dumbledore.
In other words, the opponent's target was not those Slytherins from the beginning, but Dumbledore, the headmaster?
But that didn't matter to Tom anymore.
He had gained enough vitality, and Dumbledore had left the school.
In other words, no one can prevent him from being resurrected. He can stay in the secret room and wait for his rebirth in peace, and then manipulate the basilisk to kill every mudblood in this school.
Tom, who was in a happy mood, manipulated Lockhart to the girls' bathroom. After a spell knocked Myrtle away, he opened the door of the secret room and slid down.
Along the way, it can be said that it was smooth and smooth to reach the secret room.
Tom separated directly from Lockhart, letting Lockhart fall to the ground behind him.
Looking at the statue of Slytherin in front of him, Tom said to himself proudly.
"Soon, soon I will be resurrected, and then I will complete the great work that you have not completed. At that time, I will become greater than you."
"Where is the greatness?"
A voice suddenly came from above Tom's head.
"Who?!" Tom looked up subconsciously, and then saw a pair of big feet stepping towards his face.
With a bang, Tom flew straight out and fell heavily on the floor of the secret room.
And the one who kicked him just now was Harry who had followed him here secretly.
"So you are the culprit who manipulated Professor Lockhart to attack the students?" Harry patted his clothes casually, looked at Tom who was lying on the ground and covered his face, and asked suspiciously, "I thought it was some kind of dark wizard. , I didn't expect you to be quite young."
"Ha. Lee Po.....Mmm!!" Young Tom got up from the ground and shouted full of resentment, but only halfway through his shout, his mouth was caught by a thick () hard Something blocked.
"Come on, tell me~" Harry smiled and pulled the trigger in his hand.
