From Azkaban To Hogwarts

"Harry, do you feel anything is wrong?"

After finally sending Professor Lockhart away with excuses, Ron spoke to Harry as if he remembered something.

"What's wrong?"

Harry breathed a sigh of relief - Ron had just used the excuse that the list was a list of gifts and letters he had received. He was half nervous and half shy and couldn't care about anything else.

"It's just that Professor Lockhart doesn't seem to be interested in you anymore," Ron stared at Harry, "He wasn't like this before."

"Have it?"

Harry asked back, and then he also realized that something was wrong - if it were used in the past, Ron's excuse would only get a series of lectures, and it would be impossible to persuade Professor Lockhart so easily.

If Ron hadn't reminded him, he wouldn't have discovered this at all.

He was thankful that Lockhart didn't bother him. The boy named Colin hadn't let him go during this period, and he almost got caught up in him again during the investigation today. How could he suspect that he let him go under such circumstances? Lockhart?

"That seems to be the case, but maybe he is used to school life. After all, Professor Lockhart is an adult wizard..." Harry tried to find an excuse for Lockhart, "You see, aren't Professor Lockhart's lectures better than the others?" Are you getting better?"

As if remembering something, Harry added, "Didn't you still think Professor Lockhart was great during that time?"

"great?"

Ron was lost in thought, "What did I say?"

"No, Harry, no!" Ron's voice became louder, "Why do I have no memory of that period at all!"

"Because you forgot, kid."

"who?"

Ron immediately turned around and saw a pink robe.

"Professor Lockhart, good evening." Ron pretended to be pitiful, his hands behind his back becoming restless.

"Good evening, we meet again, classmate Weasley." Lockhart greeted with a smile, "Although we just said goodbye not long ago, I have to say that you gave me a big surprise."

"The originally perfect plan was suddenly shattered... I originally planned to take action during the day when I was on duty, but you know too much." He frowned, "It was all over as soon as it was found out. Originally, we had to wait. We can say goodbye in a few days, but this is all we can do now.”

"You're dreaming, we-" all--"

Ron yelled to attract attention, and Harry simultaneously pulled out his wand and attacked, but before Harry could finish shouting the spell, Lockhart's attack was completed.

"Expelliarmus."

Lockhart calmly cast the spell on Harry's wand, and easily used the supplementary spell to cast off Ron's wand - "I haven't had time to teach you this spell yet, but it's really useful, isn't it?"

"We can talk for a while while no one is here," Lockhart said calmly, holding two wands, and then cast a spell on Ron before Harry could react, "Forget about everything."

"Ron!"

"Don't worry, kid. It's just the same as before. I've erased part of his memory. He will be fine." Lockhart pointed his wand at Harry. "Everyone will be fine, if you cooperate enough."

"How to cooperate?"

Harry checked Ron's breathing and then forced himself to calm down.

"Tell it as you go, kid." Lockhart pointed his wand at Harry, "Don't think of doing anything else. Losing memory is nothing compared to losing life."

"He trusts you so much, Professor!"

"If there was true trust, there would be no such thing as a list, kid." Lockhart held the wand very steadily - ever since he was sneak-attacked by the man named William, he had been guarding against any preemptive strikes by the wizards around him.

"Come here, hold him, right, that's it, I guarantee you'll be fine, if you cooperate enough."

Lockhart's voice sounded behind Harry - he had complained countless times that the voice was too funny, but now he could only hear the coldness in that voice, like... it was like what he heard not long ago Those voices!

"Did you open the secret room, Professor?"

"No, no, no," Lockhart's voice from behind was calm, "You are very smart, but from today on, you will be the one to open the Chamber of Secrets - as long as you cooperate enough, tomorrow's story will become Harry Potter. He secretly opened the secret room, but was injured during the special ceremony."

'At least Ron is still alive... If we cooperate, Ron can survive...'

"How can I trust you?" Harry forced himself not to turn around and punch the professor behind him.

"If you don't live to take charge of the secret room, no one will believe it. Your survival is the best evidence - stop and go this way," Lockhart ordered in a low voice, and then opened the secret passage.

"All petrified!"

As soon as Harry stepped in, he was immediately struck by the Petrification Curse.

Under Harry's puzzled gaze, Lockhart added another spell to Ron and left in a hurry.

'what's the situation? What's going on? ’

He tried to shout, but no sound came out.

All kinds of strange thoughts were surging in his mind, but in the end they were all refuted because of his immobility.

In the end, he gave up relying on himself and began to miss Hermione.

'Damn it, I can't move. Ron fell asleep again. Hermione should have noticed it. She should be able to find the professor soon -'

"Sorry for the long wait, kid." Lockhart used his wand to control an object to float over. "It's more difficult to move than I thought. I can't let people know that her coming here is related to me."

"Hermione!"

"Calm down, kid," Lockhart's tone even sounded a little happy, "It's impossible that your companions didn't notice your abnormality, right? You can only let the two of them be attacked by you."

"How could Hermione be attacked by you..."

Harry couldn't believe it.

"She's nowhere near as good as those wizards," Lockhart re-examined Ron, "not to mention the fact that she received a card from me in return tonight. It's a shame... I had to attack one of my loyal readers."

"Their memory is fixed, but it's a pity that this secret passage cannot be retained in the future." Lockhart finished testing, "Wait a moment, see you later, Harry."

Another petrification spell made Harry completely desperate - 'The only ones I can count on now are you, the Weasley brothers! ’

But until Lockhart reappeared, the Weasley brothers did not show up.

"Let's go, Harry." Lockhart pointed his wand at Harry, "It's just losing a memory and being charged with the Chamber of Secrets. It's a great deal to trade the lives of two friends."

Such a threat was despicable, but quite practical - Harry didn't even think about running away.

There was no way he would risk his friend's life.

"Take your time, we have plenty of time." Lockhart laughed, "I've always been good at this, and trust me, this time it will be a good story."
