Harry Potter: The Path of Destiny

Chapter 73 Suspicious Lockhart

After leaving Dumbledore's office, Nydia had been haunted, and she walked back to the Gryffindor common room entirely relying on her body's instinctive memory. Thinking about it, she was still angry with Draco for thinking that she was the heir, but now she realized that he had guessed correctly, that she was really the heir, but she didn't open any secret room, because she didn't know how to do it at all. I don’t know where the secret room is.

Dumbledore asked her to find the Chamber of Secrets, but how should she find it? There were no clues, except for the invisible snake. Was she going to wait until she heard the snake speak? But the school is so big, she can't ensure that she will encounter the snake every time it appears. Like this time when Colin was attacked, she didn't hear any sound at all. Where should I start? If the secret room cannot be found in time, will more people be harmed?

"This is for you." Michelle put a string of amethyst bracelets on Nidia's wrist.

"What is this?" Nidia woke up from her meditation and looked curiously at the bracelet on her wrist. The workmanship was a bit rough and it looked like it had been hastily processed.

"This is an amulet to ward off evil spirits. Look! I also have one." Michelle raised her wrist to show Nidia a bracelet of the same style. "I strung it myself. It took me a whole morning." It’s time!”

"Why do you do this suddenly?" Nidia's impression was that Michelle was not the kind of person who would spend time doing such little girly things.

"Haven't you heard yet? Last night, Colin, the first-year student who was always chasing Harry to take pictures, was attacked. He is in the same condition as Mrs. Norris. Now he is lying in the hospital like a dead person!" Mi Sher lowered his voice and said, "Now the monster in the secret room is wandering around the school, so I strung this bracelet. It is said that amethyst has the effect of exorcising evil spirits. I hope it will really be effective!"

"Thank you for your kindness, but I think... I don't need this thing." Nidia sighed, but did not take off the bracelet.

"That's right. You are a pure blood and are not within the attack range. I forgot about this." Michelle patted her forehead in sudden realization.

"No, it's not because of blood, but because I am also the heir of the secret room. If the monster in the secret room attacks people, it will not attack me." Nidia said indifferently, regarding herself as the heir. I haven't fully digested this yet. In fact, looking back now, the Sorting Hat said that she was the heir of Slytherin when she was sorting. But at that time, she was completely focused on the assignment of the house and did not think carefully about the Sorting Hat's words. She I just think that the Sorting Hat is saying that I am very suitable for Slytherin.

"Oh! That's it...what?!" Michelle suddenly said loudly, and then immediately covered her mouth, looked around, and after confirming that no one was paying attention to them, whispered to Nettie Ya said, "What's going on? Don't you know nothing about the secret room? How did you become the heir?"

"I just found out not long ago. Believe me, my mood is not much calmer than yours now." Nydia told Michelle everything about her conversation with Dumbledore.

"So the Dark Lord sneaked into the school again? Oh my God! Who is it this time?" Michelle said nervously.

"It's not certain yet. Dumbledore thinks it's possible that someone else is using the name of the Chamber of Secrets to do bad things." In her heart, Nydia actually hoped that this matter would not have anything to do with Voldemort.

"But if the secret room is really opened, the only two people who can open the secret room are you and him!"

"Actually, I don't know how to open the secret room yet. I don't even know where it is now." Nidia corrected Michelle.

"Who could it be? Last year it was Quirrell. Who is he possessing this year? It must be someone who joined the school this year." Michelle didn't listen to what Nydia said at all. She had already determined that It was Voldemort who once again sneaked into the school and opened the Chamber of Secrets.

"New to the school this year? All first-year students are new to the school this year. Do you think he will possess a child?"

"No, there is another person! He is also new to the school this year!" Michelle said.

"You mean...Lockhart?" Nydia's mind immediately flashed to that wavy blond hair and shining teeth.

"Yes, that's him. This explains why he behaves so strangely! How can a person who has experienced so many adventures suddenly appear so weak? It's because he cannot display his true strength." Michel Although Er was disappointed with the real Lockhart, he still admired the Lockhart described in the book.

"But he didn't wrap his head in a strange scarf like Quirrell did!" Nidia asked.

"Maybe hidden somewhere else? It's more hidden. If he was dressed like Quirrell, wouldn't it be too obvious?"

"Where could it be? Is it in his big curly hair?" Nidia couldn't help but roll her eyes when she thought of the curly hair that was carefully taken care of.

"Maybe he is not Lockhart himself at all, but drank the potion you are brewing that can turn into someone else." Michelle continued to guess.

"Haha, this also explains why he always wears thick perfume. It turns out to be to cover up the smell of the potion!" Nydia thinks this possibility is very low. She thinks Lockhart may even have the Polyjuice Potion. It's impossible to say exactly what ingredients are needed for the potion.

"He's really weird, isn't he?" Michelle insisted on investigating Lockhart.

Nydia thought carefully about it, and it was indeed strange that Lockhart's behavior was far different from what his medals and honors suggested. "Maybe we should investigate him carefully. Anyway, there are no other clues now."

"Yeah! That's great! Give me a real Lockhart!" Michelle shouted excitedly. She didn't know whether her voice was too loud or Lockhart's name was too attractive. People around her suddenly became excited. He looked over at her. Michelle immediately patted her mouth in embarrassment and whispered a few words of apology.

"By the way, Young Master Malfoy lost his temper yesterday after Slytherin lost the game! How did you comfort him? I saw he was in a good mood at breakfast today." Michelle asked Nydia road.

"Oh...Actually, I didn't comfort him. I met Snape on the way to find him, and he called me away!" Nidia didn't want to tell others what she saw, because as long as she thought about it, She felt distraught at that scene.

"Really? It seems that Young Master Malfoy has grown up! I thought it was you saying something to him that made him cheer up so quickly!" Michelle sighed with emotion.

"How can I do this?" Nitya muttered unhappily.

"Then it seems that the young master has really figured it out on his own this time! He has grown up!"

"...Maybe..." Yes! Normally Draco would have been worried about this matter for a while, but...Astoria...when she thought of her, Nydia felt a sour taste in her heart.
