0216 Missing
On Sunday morning, Ernie told Hagrid that he had cleaned up the acromantula, and kept Aragog as he wanted.
This was something they had discussed a long time ago. Although Hagrid couldn't bear it, he didn't say much.
Although he has a lot of affection for the blind spider that hatched from the cupboard 50 years ago, being able to become a wizard shows that Hagrid's skull is not filled with the chaotic brain of a giant, and has enough reason.
Hagrid has always known that unrestrained acromantids will inevitably bring big troubles, but unfortunately he never thinks about how to deal with the aftermath, and almost always asks Dumbledore to wipe his ass.
Aini is quite speechless about this point, it is the same for Aragog, and it is also the same for Buckbeak, even though he is over 60 years old and has a big body, but he behaves like a child sometimes.
When he was a child, Aini was beaten more than once because he secretly went swimming in the river ditch. He knew that he would be beaten, but he still ran to play, and then he was nervous because of fear. Isn't this one of the characteristics of children?
But thinking about the source of Hagrid's extraordinary height, if calculated according to the lifespan of a giant, he could barely be considered a child.
Fortunately, thanks to another characteristic of children, Hagrid's emotions come and go quickly. When Aini brought the topic to Nobeta, the big man immediately became happy.
"She may be eating now, and she is growing fast, and she will surpass me soon."
Hagrid laughed like an old father whose daughter scored perfect in math.
The two talked and laughed and walked towards the castle. When they were still some distance away from the gate, they saw a witch Zong Zong hurriedly approaching.
It's Professor McGonagall.
As usual, the witch was dressed in dark green robes and a pointed wizard hat.
But when she got closer, Aini found that Minerva's lips were tightly pursed, and the square lenses couldn't hide the anger in her eyes at all.
They went up and got the bad news.
Justin Fenlieli, the backbone of the Transfiguration Society and one of Aini's favorite students, turned into a stone statue at the dining table not long ago in front of hundreds of people in the school.
When everyone watched this scene in astonishment, another six students froze one after another.
Although Professor McGonagall didn't go into details, Aini could still imagine the scene at that time. The little wizards must have exploded. They were obviously hungry alone, but no one dared to continue eating.
Obviously, this is a large-scale poisoning incident.
Lockhart!
Aini gritted his teeth secretly, seeing that the final exam would be less than a month away, and wanted him to continue dancing with fantasies for a while, so as to absorb more power of the curse, now it seemed that he had to close the net in advance.
I hurried to the auditorium with Professor McGonagall. At this time, all the students had returned to the dormitory, and most of the professors were also sent to inspect the castle. Only Dumbledore and Snape remained at the scene.
The petrified people were also sent to the school infirmary, but the food on the table was still in place.
Nodding with the two of them, Aini was not in the mood to talk in detail for the time being, and went straight to the long table next to him.
Picking up a plate of fried eggs, Aini opened the Eye of True Sight.
Just like before, it was filled with petrochemical agents, but Tom obviously used special means to eliminate the special smell. Even with Aini's sense of smell, he could only smell a little bit under the condition of extreme concentration.
He was a little uncertain about Tom's thoughts, what was he going to do to come up with such a thing?
As a contracted professor at Hogwarts, Lockhart cannot kill any students at all, and even Tom who is attached to him will still be restricted and cannot break the terms of the contract before the end of his term.
What good would it do him?Although it can create temporary panic, it will definitely bring Hogwarts into martial law, and it will be very difficult to do anything in the future.
And those students just lay down in the school infirmary for a period of time, and they will be able to get treatment in about a week, and at most it will cause some confusion.
and many more!
Create confusion?
"Professor Dumbledore, where's Lockhart?"
In formal occasions, Aini used the honorific title, but his tone was a little anxious.
"Lockhart is gone."
Dumbledore's face was not very good-looking. After the Valentine's Day attack, a dean-level wizard was watching Lockhart's movements all the time, but just now everyone was busy dealing with the upheaval in the auditorium. After arranging the students to evacuate , The scene has lost the other party's whereabouts.
Snape also had a stern face on the sidelines. He happened to be in charge during this time period. He felt that something was wrong when he comforted the students of this academy before. Now thinking about it, how could Lockhart let go of this opportunity to show off?
Presumably he has already noticed the surveillance of several people, so he created chaos for himself to escape.
With such an incident, Lockhart obviously couldn't continue to stay at Hogwarts to make troubles, so no matter where he went, it was a desperate last move.
And the last action is often the most harmful action, and Lockhart must be found before he succeeds.
Just as they were thinking hard to investigate Lockhart's purpose, Professor Flitwick and others who had gone out to make an inspection also returned to the auditorium one after another, but found no trace of the target.
Lockhart's behavior has been the same as usual lately. He gave lectures, brushed up his sense of presence, and went to the "chamber of secrets" to repair the collapsed passages and magic veins, but he couldn't find any useful clues from them.
Without a clue, Aini could only come up with a method of elimination in his mind.
First of all, it can be determined that Lockhart is not running away. He has been to Hogsmeade many times before, and it is very simple to leave directly from there. Even if he can't apparate, he can borrow the fireplace in the shop.
It is impossible to go to the Forbidden Forest to make troubles. After Sylvie wakes up, no one can escape her eyes.
No one was in the "Chamber of Secrets". After finding out that Lockhart was missing, Dumbledore checked the small objects left there, and it was empty and there were no visitors.
Where will it be?The Room of Requirement is a very likely place, but since discovering the inheritance left by Ravenclaw, both he and Dumbledore have set a ban on the door, and no one has triggered it for such a long time.
For a while, Aini couldn't find any clues, and unconsciously glanced at the poisoned egg again.
Poison is originally a powerful means of dealing with the enemy by potion masters. There are many related potions, but few are colorless and odorless, and most of them have weak effects.
Therefore, almost every potion master will have a secret recipe to change its external properties without affecting the efficacy of the medicine.
Most of these are not passed on to the outside world, and they are knowledge that will not be taught in the classroom.
Voldemort showed extraordinary talent for potions when he was young, and he was deeply loved by Professor Slughorn.
Even though Tom only has his memories from before fifth grade, it's not surprising that he can do this.
Regardless of whether he invented the formula for hiding the smell of petrochemical potions by himself, or was taught by Professor Slughorn privately, Aini was very curious and wanted to use his eyes of true sight to prostitute it for nothing.
Afterwards, he couldn't help but feel thankful for his curiosity, so fortunately he checked it carefully, otherwise he might make a big mistake.
Ernie turned to Snape and was about to speak when he heard Dumbledore say in a deep voice, "Quick, call Fox, let's go to the Chamber of Secrets."
