Harry Potter and the Attack of the Squibs

Chapter 49 Lockhart the Innocent

"Although I often encourage students to take risks, this time, Lu Ke, I think your behavior is too hasty."

Lu Ke sighed: "But this is just the beginning."

Then he began to explain to Dumbledore what happened next.

From Johanna's disguise plan, to sudden accidents, and the dark wizard Lu Ke met by chance.

After he finished speaking, there was dead silence in the principal's office.

Dumbledore was silent for a long time: "What is a Horcrux...?"

Lu Ke hesitated for a moment, then sighed: "There is a concept in alchemy called the little man in the bottle, which is a perfect, artificial soul."

Dumbledore nodded.

Lu Ke continued to explain: "But that is the level that real alchemy masters can get involved in. Most of the time, all alchemists can only barely imitate. They come up with various defective products, one of which is the closest. , but it’s also the one I know the least information about, it’s a dark magic item.”

Dumbledore sighed: "Is that a Horcrux?"

Lu Ke nodded: "Horcruxes are magic items that are extremely difficult to destroy. Many alchemists suspect that they are alchemical products. However, the defensive capabilities of Horcruxes almost exceed the limits of all alchemical products. It can be said that if it were not The creation of black magic is the product of dreamy alchemy, probably only a little worse than the magic stone."

Dumbledore nodded: "Do you suspect that the notebook is a Horcrux?"

Lu Ke nodded: "I tried to find a way to destroy the Horcrux."

Of course, Lu Ke failed.

Dumbledore looked at Lu Ke and suddenly stood up: "What about Ravenclaw's crown?"

Lu Ke nodded: "I now suspect that it is also a Horcrux."

Dumbledore turned around and took down the tiara held in a handkerchief from the shelf behind him.

"In addition to being strong, Horcruxes have other characteristics, that is, they can affect the minds of people around them..."

Lu Ke nodded.

Dumbledore shook his head and put the crown back in his hand.

"This matter is very simple. We can just ask Lockhart."

Lu Ke was silent for a moment.

This is indeed an obvious way, but Lu Ke always feels that there is no possibility of success in doing so.

And if Hogwarts loses their Defense Against the Dark Arts professor before the school year is even halfway through, that could be a problem.

But Dumbledore didn't care. He led the two people out of the principal's office and went straight to Lockhart's office.

As Lu Ke expected, Lockhart was already drunk at this time, but he was not sleeping yet.

Dumbledore brought Lockhart to consciousness with a single spell.

Looking at the principal in front of him, Lockhart looked surprised: "What happened, Professor Dumbledore?"

Dumbledore smiled and nodded: "Just a little thing, Lockhart, did you take a notebook from Johanna?"

Lockhart smiled and shook his head: "No. Why?"

Dumbledore and Luke Johanna looked at each other, then smiled and shook their heads: "Nothing, it seems I made a mistake. Good night Lockhart."

With that said, he and Luke Johanna walked out of Lockhart's office.

Walking up the stairs, the three of them were silent.

Lu Ke felt that everything had been out of control since last year.

Whether it is the mysterious man or the appearance of Grindelwald's remnants, they all reveal a sense of conspiracy.

After returning to the principal's office, Dumbledore sighed: "There were five dark wizards involved in this incident, as well as polyjuice potion, and probably the Inferi. However, in order to prevent panic, we cannot tell the students what happened for the time being. them.”

"I will find a way to find them, you don't have to worry about it."

Lu Ke looked at Dumbledore and could only nod helplessly: "We will."

Dumbledore smiled: "I think you can pay attention to any clues when you patrol with Filch at night and when you help in the Forbidden Forest."

Lu Ke nodded.

Then he left the principal's office with Johanna.

Returning to the Slytherin common room, Lu Ke sat on the sofa and let out a long sigh.

"In any case, Malfoy didn't know that someone had stolen his hair. It's really..."

Just as Lu Ke was complaining carelessly, Malfoy walked out of the corridor leading to the boys' dormitory.

"I just wanted to tell you about this, Lu Ke, probably in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class."

Lu Ke was stunned for a moment.

He looked up at Malfoy, then back at Johanna.

Johanna looked at him innocently: "I'm very tired, and I rarely use that ability at any time, otherwise I would be very tired if everyone's secrets were seen by me."

Lu Ke sighed.

He also relaxed.

If Lu Ke had not relaxed, he should have noticed that Malfoy had not left as soon as he entered the common room.

Malfoy looked at Lu Ke with a surprised look on his face: "What's wrong?"

Lu Ke shook his head: "You said what happened in your Defense Against the Dark Arts class?"

Malfoy walked up to Lu Ke: "My hair was taken away by the elf, the same hair that Professor Lockhart brought to class."

Lu Ke nodded: "They just want to cause damage. Why do you think this matter is worth mentioning?"

Malfoy sighed: "Pansy Parkinson, she seemed to think that I was planning to reconcile with Crabbe and Goyle, but I definitely never thought about it that way."

Lu Ke sighed.

The development of this matter was really subtle, but when everything was already too late, the truth accidentally appeared in front of Lu Ke.

He could only smile helplessly, and then shook his head: "She must have remembered it wrong, don't worry about it."

Malfoy shook his head: "No, Luke, actually I have wanted to tell you this for a long time. Everything has been going wrong since the summer vacation. My father and the house elf Dobby at home, both of them are mysterious. My father disappeared all the time, and whenever my father was gone, Dobby was gone too..."

Lu Ke nodded: "Don't worry about this, I think it doesn't mean anything..."

Malfoy shook his head: "No strange things happen for no reason. And Lu Ke, although I really didn't want to eavesdrop, it was too late just now... What do you mean when you say my hair was stolen?"

Lu Ke smiled: "It's nothing... we just happened to run into Professor Lockhart complaining about the light blond hair in his office."

Malfoy was stunned for a moment, then took a step back awkwardly: "Oh, that's it, I thought..."

Lu Ke stood up and sighed: "Okay, it's already very late."

He turned and glanced at Johanna: "Good night."

Johanna nodded.
