When Professor Lockhart handed the handkerchief to Hermione, Hermione was obviously taken aback, and the tears in her eyes quickly stopped.

"Miss Granger, I understand how you feel, but it's too dangerous to rush over. We're not sure what happened to Mr. Yodell."

At this time, Professor Flitwick also completed the evacuation of the students, and walked up with Snape and Professor McGonagall. Seeing Tom's state, Professor Flitwick's eyes widened, and Professor McGonagall sighed. tone.

"Go to my office, I'm the closest to here," Professor Flitwick said weakly.

Dumbledore stepped forward, checked for a moment, and then picked up Tom who was on the ground. Although the little wizards were no longer blocking the door of the Astronomy Tower, they did not leave. They just watched Dumbledore hug him silently in the corridor. Walk with Tom.

"When I get back here, I hope you are already sitting in the classroom and the lounge," Snape said, looking at the young wizards who were watching, "If you don't want to sit in the classroom, you are always welcome in my office. — to experience confinement.”

As soon as these words came out, the little wizards immediately dispersed. Only Harry, Ron, Neville and Hermione remained, and Dumbledore asked them to follow him to the office.

"Why are all three of you present every time an accident occurs?" Professor McGonagall looked at the newly introduced Big Three in his academy, and was angry: last semester, the three of them sneaked into the forbidden book area late at night, and then Caught by Mrs Pince; two of the three of them crossed England in flying cars at the start of school; now they are involved in the incident again.

Professor McGonagall felt his temples swell.

"Professor, listen to us explain..." Ron tried to explain, but Professor McGonagall told them to shut up first. They could only stand with Hermione, who seemed to be in a trance. At this time, Hermione was holding the handkerchief tightly in her hand, saying nothing, and her eyes were red.

Dumbledore walked up to Tom, muttered words, then took out his wand and tapped Tom, but nothing happened.

"Tom is not dead," said Dumbledore.

Having reached this conclusion, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then what happened to him?" Professor Flitwick asked sharply.

"He was petrified, and the reasons are very complicated, and I couldn't come to a conclusion for a while."

The scene fell silent.

"The heir of Slytherin is trying to open the Chamber of Secrets," said Lockhart, who was standing beside him. "We have to be vigilant, that person (YouKonwWho) may be back..."

The eyes of the four deans, Dumbledore and the four students all focused on Lockhart.

Lockhart shrugged, "I also know what happened to the former Defence Against the Dark Arts professor. To tell you the truth, I only intend to perform the contract with Professor Dumbledore for one year, so that I can use a normal reason to retire, not to let something weird happen to me."

Everyone present:  …

Even Snape reconsidered his career intentions - he wanted to be a Defence Against the Dark Arts professor, but Dumbledore let him teach Potions.

Snape quickly put the messy thoughts behind him. "Okay, put the You-Know-Who aside, we have more realistic things to consider." A sneer twisted his lips. "Our Potter Should sir explain why he and his friends are in this place at this time - I don't remember this time for Gryffindor's second year astronomy class."

Harry's heart was beating wildly.

Harry is here for a reason.

This afternoon, he had no class, and out of shame, he went to the library alone to read - it was a make-up class, and he didn't want to behave like a Muggle again in the next Lockhart test.

But just as he was reading, he heard a creepy, icy, vicious voice that made Snape's voice almost as gentle as a hospice nurse. Just hearing this voice made Harry feel like his breathing stopped.

"Come...come...let me tear you apart...kill you, I crave...your flesh! I'm starving...for so long...it's time—kill!"

He listened to the voice with pricked ears, followed the direction of the voice, and met Harry and Ron who had come to the library to look for him to go to class. So there were three people looking for the source of the sound, and finally they met the petrified Tom in the astronomy classroom.

Harry thought about it for a while, but still didn't tell the whole story.

"I read the timetable wrong."

Snape showed an ugly smile, "Potter, you're not completely telling the truth, I think he should be restored to his normal student status, and I suggest letting him leave the Quidditch team until he's willing to tell the truth. so far."

Harry's impromptu excuses were pretty lame: one person might be able to read the timetable wrong, and three people could remember it wrongly—even with Neville, who had an extremely poor memory. No wonder Snape could sense that Harry was lying, it didn't take Legilimency to see it.

Snape was a little unhappy, he thought that Potter's brain was simply broken, why should he hide information here, it was as disgusting as his megalomaniac father!

Lockhart sighed quietly beside him. Harry was naturally led by the transformed Tom. He knew that at the time of the first class this afternoon, Harry had no class. So in the first class this afternoon, he deliberately left get out of class ten minutes early and rushed to the library where Harry was - he also deduced where Harry was.

During the exam in the morning, although he appeared to be standing behind Ron, he had actually read Harry's exam paper, and as expected, few of them were right.

A student fails the exam and has a little spare time in the afternoon. What will he do? Students with a little self-esteem go to the library to read books, right? So the probability of Harry going to the library is very high.

As for Harry being lazy and sleeping in the dormitory, it's no big deal. The best discoverer of the petrified "Tom" is Harry, but it is not impossible to be discovered by others.

Tom did meet Harry in the library, so he attracted Harry's attention by imitating the tone of the basilisk, and then lured Harry to the Astronomy Tower, and the next thing was logical - of course, meeting Luo Well, Tom was also surprised.

The students who came to class bumped into the three of Harry and the "criminal scene", and then the standard plot unfolded.

In doing so, I still hope that Harry can confess to Dumbledore what he heard, and then Tom can take advantage of the situation to put forward the Basilisk hypothesis, so that Dumbledore can know the particularity of Harry's soul.

Too bad Harry didn't confess. Although the impact was not large, it eventually made Tom's plan a part of the failure.

Dumbledore ignored Snape's method of punishment mixed with private goods. He glanced at Harry. His piercing blue eyes made Harry feel like he had been seen through.

"Well, if I remember correctly, Mrs Sprout has been cultivating mandrakes recently. Once they're grown, I'll be able to concoct a potion that will bring Mr. Yordle back to life." Dumbledore He used a floating spell on Tom to make him float in mid-air, "Okay, you go to class first, and I'll take Tom to the school hospital."

As soon as these words came out, the three of Harry were relieved, and the other professors also left.

But as Tom walked out the door, Snape followed.

"What's the matter, Professor Snape?" Tom quietly started his Occlumency.

"A few days ago, someone broke into my private potion storage room and stole a batch of potions." Snape himself was still brooding about the theft of his potions. As for the so-called consensus reached by everyone: Phoenix Fox broke into his office and stole the potion. As an adult wizard, Snape didn't believe a word of it - all he did was to inform Dumbledore of such a thing That's all, by the way, find a big family to recover a little loss.

Snape thought about the suspects and found that there was no one to be suspicious, so he changed his mind: exclude people who are definitely not likely to be thieves. First exclude Dumbledore, then McGonagall and other veteran professors. Snape felt that after getting along for so many years, he still knew that his colleagues would not steal their own potions.

Due to the particularity of compound decoction, there are not many students who can prepare compound decoction. Those who can successfully prepare compound decoction in their school days must be amazing.

So Snape turned his attention to the new professor Lockhart. He thought at first that this guy was a rhetorical piece of trash, and the start of school also fully explained his inference. But I didn't expect that after being fined a sum of money by the Ministry of Magic, this guy seemed to be a different person-become normal and reliable.

If Lockhart was still the way he was, Snape would rather believe that Fox was the real culprit than suspect Lockhart.

Lockhart's behavior became more and more suspicious For example, in his test paper today, Snape thought it would be a "Lockhart Behavior and Hobbies Questionnaire", but he didn't expect that it was actually in it. exam questions.

This is outrageous.

Combined with the potion that could make another person look like someone else, Snape felt that all the evidence pointed to Lockhart.

So there was this conversation.

Tom looked at Snape, "That's a pity, but I think it's better to keep your precious potions safe. If Professor Snape doesn't understand anti-theft spells, I'm sure Professor Flitwick will be happy to help. of."

Snape's eyes became so deep, his empty, dead eyes seemed to read people's hearts, but this time he failed.

He couldn't see through Lockhart.
