Harry of the Sherlock Holmes

Harry has actually received some training as an agent. He knows that a person cannot always keep his spirit in a state of high tension, otherwise he will lose his keen sense of changes in the outside world.But what happened in the past few days was too complicated and sudden, which made him maintain a state of "excitement" unconsciously.However, the excitement passed, and Hogwarts remained calm. He finally relaxed until the bad news came again——Colin Creevey was found lying petrified in the corridor of the school, with Still clutching the damaged camera tightly.

"Harry," Dumbledore called him into his office, "I'm sorry, but I have to ask—where is the basilisk now?"

Smiling and shaking his head to show that he didn't mind, Harry replied: "Helbo? He said he found a nest of spiders in the Forbidden Forest, and he planned to make up for the food he hasn't eaten for thousands of years. He probably won't be returning to the castle anytime soon. It’s inside.” Even the basilisk hatched and raised by Slytherin is still an animal after all, it likes a wide space for movement and fresh air, and it’s really difficult for it to sleep for nearly a thousand years in order to maintain its physical strength.On the contrary, the belt that accompanied it still crawled back to him to report the situation from time to time, but Harry believed that this was largely because the belt's definition of food was more inclined to the steak cooked by the house elves than the raw spider .

"So it didn't comment on the previous successor incident?"

"Ah, of course I did." Harry smiled wryly.Not only that, the violent basilisk almost went straight to bite Lockhart.Although he also felt that the man was not a good thing, he couldn't just let Hai Erbo rush out like this. "Helbo has never been clear about the person who let it out. But it certainly hasn't said anything about the 'Heir of Slytherin' to that person." Maybe it's not because he doesn't want to say, mentioning that disobedient Slytherin The blood basilisk is always angry, and it doesn't want its master to be misunderstood like this, it's just that it didn't get the chance.

Dumbledore picked up a candy from the table and put it in his mouth: "People stubbornly believe that they are right, and they have to go one way to the end. In the end..." He looked at an edge of the bookshelf that was almost worn out. The white golden photo frame didn't finish the sentence, but changed the subject, "So Harry, can you temporarily summon Haierbo to the castle through the contract?"

"You want to look at it?" Harry raised his eyebrows slightly, and Harry felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.It's perfectly understandable to ask about Hypo's tracks in this situation, but to find someone to watch the basilisk - is this a distrust of his current director or Salazar Slytherin's will?Surely he wouldn't do it himself, and Slytherin?Adela clearly explained the situation clearly.

"Oh, no, of course not, my child." Dumbledore immediately understood what the problem was, and further explained, "Because we have already got the basilisk, we are very clear about the effect the attacker wants to imitate. And currently What we can confirm is that the petrification spell used by that person is really very sophisticated, so..."

"Do you want Haier to petrify some small animals or something else for comparison?" Harry quickly realized what Dumbledore meant, and apologized for the misunderstanding of the principal just now.Haierbo's petrification experiment did not help Colin and Filch's unlucky cats. They all had to wait for the mandrakes in the greenhouse to fully mature before they could obtain the potion to de-petrify.However, the assailant's deliberate imitation may reveal some information about him, if they can compare the petrification caused by Haierbo with the effect of the petrification spell.

"Yes, if His Excellency Haierbo doesn't want to, he can just bring back some of the things he hunted in the Forbidden Forest."

"I understand."

The news of Colin's attack quickly spread throughout the school, and it made people panic and everyone was suspicious.The Dueling Club Bulletin was pasted in this situation - the crisis environment prompted people to work hard to learn some means of self-preservation.

Seamus Finnigan said loudly in the common room, "I have no objection to going to today's party, it may be useful anytime.

"What do you use? Dueling etiquette? Do you think anyone in a real duel would stop you because of a bright smile?" Harry sarcastically sarcastically, unlike his classmates who were excited by the news, He was distraught by this action from Lockhart - yes, it was Lockhart.If any professor really wants to spread useful dueling knowledge to everyone, he just needs to spare some time in class instead of posting such a bluffing poster. After all, Hogwarts seven All grades use one teacher. (Harry also believed that the headmaster would not be dissatisfied that the teaching time was taken up by the professors' popularization of dueling knowledge.) Only Lockhart would do such a weak thing but be able to proclaim his existence all the time.So here comes the next question - if Lockhart is just trying to further flaunt his reputation (and judging from his performance since the start of school, which is very likely) then just treat this dueling club as a joke ; but if it wasn't the real Lockhart who wanted to run the club, what was he trying to do?There will be a lot of people at the party, just in case...

"Don't worry, Harry," Hermione also thought about what was going on, and turned sideways to talk to the boy. "The professors will definitely watch Lockhart."

"Yes." Harry nodded and smiled.How he'd forgotten that Sherlock and John wouldn't leave him alone.

Of course, Sherlock and John would not rest assured that their son would get along with the problematic Lockhart, and they followed the Gryffindor team to the auditorium.The students didn't feel anything abnormal because of their actions, although they still couldn't accept Sherlock's various harsh comments and the fact that as a Muggle, he was sharper than a wizard, but Sherlock's appearance in Harry's class was already It's a common sight at Hogwarts. (Where there is Sherlock, there will naturally be John, otherwise they will definitely see some more "outrageous" things.)

And Lockhart's teaching partner turned out to be Snape. He stood aside in a black robe and was in stark contrast to Lockhart, who was dressed in a purple robe and was brilliant.

Lockhart waved everyone to silence, then shouted: "Come around, come around! Can everyone see me? Can everyone hear me? Great!" And to promote the next book.Regardless of strength, Lockhart is actually a good commercial writer, Harry commented in his heart-John is a headache for his editors, because he is not willing to promote his own works.Even publishing is slowly becoming less enthusiastic.Because for John, it is a very happy thing to keep the stories of his adventures with Sherlock, whether those stories are written on the Internet or in print.

Snape's upper lip curled up, and he looked at Lockhart with a dangerous look, when the other party had just assured the students that he would "give them back the Potions Professor intact".After the crowd quieted down a bit, Lockhart and Snape turned to face each other and bowed.At least Lockhart bowed, flailing his hands a lot, and Snape just shook his head impatiently.They then held their respective wands like arrows to their chests.

As you can see, we hold our wands in the normal dueling position," Lockhart said to the silent crowd, "and on the count of three we cast the first spell.Of course, neither of us would take the other's life. Harry ignored his nonsense, staring at Lockhart intently - he did catch a flash of red in Lockhart's eyes just now.

Snape nodded at him indifferently, and of course he, who had been staring at Lockhart, noticed something unusual.But it seems that the Horcrux is more difficult than they imagined. Is this a restraint that can be unnoticed?At least aside from the look in the eyes just now, Lockhart has been very in character since the opening of the Dueling Club.

The students counted down in low voices below: "One—two—three—" Both of them raised their wands violently over their shoulders at the same time.Snape yelled, "Expelliarmus!" There was a flash of blinding red light, and Lockhart was knocked off his feet.He flew backwards off the stage, hit the wall, and slid down, curled up on the floor.Then Lockhart's dropped wand head exploded, and a long, huge black snake burst out of it, raised its head, hissed, and prepared to attack.

"It was Oolong." Draco frowned and said to Harry.This is not a very advanced black magic, and he can use it very well.What matters is Lockhart's intention to release a snake at this time.Snape was about to cast a spell to finish off the snake, but Lockhart suddenly flew over to retrieve the wand on the ground, threatening to wave it at the black snake.Just hearing a loud "bang", the snake became bigger and swam towards the crowd with its bloody mouth wide open because of being enraged.Harry looked back. Most of the students were screaming and dodging back quickly to make room, but his friends were all standing firmly by his side.

"Little Harry." "Little Harry." "Do as you want." The twin brothers didn't forget to be funny at this time.

Neville also stammered to cheer up his friend: "Ha...Harry, we will support you no matter what." Hermione and Ron patted him on the shoulder, thinking that he had taken the lead in encouraging his friends. machine.

Harry smiled and took a step forward.How to do it is not determined at the beginning of this semester?Although the situation has become more complicated now, what the black hands behind the scenes want to do remains the same.All he had to do was to further let him focus his firepower on himself.As for the impact on public opinion?Uncle Mike will not give people the opportunity to use this matter to harass him, and he can even use this matter to create more beneficial effects for them.

Thoughts flashed for only a very short time, and Harry calmly said to the crazy snake: "Get back." Unsurprisingly, the snake collapsed on the floor, as soft as a pile of thick, black watering hose, eyes on Harry.

The crowd started to commotion again, they had already seen Harry's Parseltongue.But the belt seemed more well-trained than the unexpected snake, which made its obedience to Harry seem less terrifying.Lockhart's actions made them truly realize the power of Parselmouth - they can make all snakes bow down.

"The heir..." Justin Fenriely spat out a few words with difficulty, then turned and rushed out of the auditorium.Many people left in the same haste as he did.

"Ah, Harry, Parseltongue is really a very magical ability, isn't it?" Lockhart moved closer to talk to him, "All snakes have to be obedient, right? You are the king of all snakes. "He glanced in the direction of Snape and Draco seemingly inadvertently.

"Sir," Harry paused into Lockhart's eyes, "I never wanted to be anyone's king."
