Being a bastard at Hogwarts is not safe.

Chapter 114 The Temptation That Can't Be Refused

"Brian, what's your take on what happened today."

When the rest of the dormitory fell asleep, Brian had no choice but to cast a disillusionment spell on himself, and sneaked into the principal's office.

It seemed that Dumbledore had been waiting for a long time, he asked hoarsely with a blank face and slightly squinted eyes.

"Not sure, professor. I don't really believe that Salazar is about to be resurrected, but whether there is anything else in the legendary chamber of secrets besides the basilisk may become trouble."

Brian thought about it again and again, but he still didn't tell Dumbledore the details about the black book in the restricted area and the Horcrux.

Brian smiled, changed his voice, and asked curiously, "Didn't the principal go to the secret room to check after the incident last semester?"

After hearing what Brian said, Dumbledore was also questioned.He groaned and hesitated for a while before explaining: "I found the entrance to the secret room, but it was set with special magic, and only those who are proficient in the snake language can enter."

A master like Dumbledore who is proficient in multiple languages ​​can't speak Parseltongue?Brian was slightly taken aback, but the expression on his face remained unchanged. He smiled and said, "Then there is no way to know what is in the secret room. In short, the professor still needs to find out as soon as possible, but the professor you come to me Is there something wrong?"

Dumbledore gave a "hmm", sat up straight, and said solemnly: "I suspect that Voldemort has practiced a very advanced kind of black magic. Except for the sword of Gryffindor in my hand, I have been Find the other three lost House treasures."

Speaking of this, Dumbledore's expression became serious, he frowned, looked at Brian meaningfully and continued: "I didn't know until the golden diadem of Ravenclaw that you met last school year. Finally got some understanding. Honestly, I'm curious how you know how to deal with those things?"

Brian couldn't help sighing in his heart. He had considered this before, and there was no way to sign a confidentiality contract with several professors by using Dumbledore's letter to arrange the participation of the professors, but he already had a corresponding method.

Bryan said with a smile: "I don't know how Professor McGonagall and the others got rid of Ravenclaw's golden crown, I just asked them to use the basilisk's giant fangs to deal with the Dark Lord, after all, the giant fangs are highly poisonous. "

Everyone except the professor signed a confidential contract magic, and even Dumbledore couldn't learn the details from them.So Lao Deng just nodded his head and did not continue to delve into it. He just gave Brian a meaningful smile, and then continued with his eyes closed:

"I suspect that someone brought similar items into Hogwarts this time through the hands of a certain student, but I can't figure out what their purpose is. You must know that the Philosopher's Stone has been destroyed."

"Why is it a student, is it possible to be like Quirrell before?"

"Lockhart? Hehe, he's just a liar. All the professors were eating together when the incident happened." Dumbledore suddenly opened his eyes, and twitched his beard for a while, "You don't have to worry about Lockhart. Hart, I checked his memory haha...Brian, I need you to find out who is hiding among the students."

Did Dumbledore know that Lockhart was a liar?A thought flashed through Brian's mind, but soon he stood up, frowned, bowed to Dumbledore, and was about to refuse.

"Don't rush to refuse!" Dumbledore directly interrupted Brian's opening, waved his hand, and said. "I know you are very interested in alchemy. If you can find that person, I will introduce you to my old friend Nick Flamel."

Brian raised his eyebrows and put his hands into his cuffs calmly.After thinking for a while, he nodded slowly and said, "Professor, I can't guarantee that I will find it out. The information I know so far is indeed a little bit small."

"Of course, of course, I understand!" Dumbledore chuckled twice, then praised Bryan a few words in a small way, then encouraged him a few words, and finally beckoned him to leave, and put it in his mouth quite easily A pile of cockroaches.

Brian couldn't help putting his hands on his forehead. Every time the old Bidden transferred his troubles to himself, he would almost go through this process again.Originally, this time, he didn't have to show his loyalty to Dumbledore like last time, but he made a condition that he couldn't refuse.

Compared with this old headmaster who is scheming, insidious and cunning, he is still too young.

Brian shook his head and sighed with emotion, put a disillusionment spell on himself and turned to leave.

Why is this world so hostile towards him.

......

In the auditorium on Tuesday afternoon, the long tables of the four colleges that were originally placed in the center had been removed at some point, and a large gold-plated stage was replaced in the center. Hundreds of candles were floating above the stage, shining brightly.

The enchanted ceiling became as black as velvet, and almost all the students from the school came, crowded together, everyone holding their own wands, and their faces were full of excitement.

Brian stood impatiently at the end of the crowd. He had been writing in that weird black book every day for the past two weeks, but to his disappointment, there was no response.

Malfoy eventually found Snape and used his connections to arrange a list of duels.On the bulletin board in the foyer before the duel club started, a new parchment was pasted, which announced the list of two-two duels at the duel meeting.

According to Malfoy's prior arrangement, Ron will have a duel with Clark, while Brian will face Goyle.

Snape had already greeted the three of them in last week's Potions class. If anyone directly surrendered and lost Hogwarts' face in the duel meeting, he would train that person alone.

This old bat is so confident in the three of his academy.

Brian couldn't figure it out, really couldn't figure it out.At that time, I learned that this Brian really wanted to join Harry and Ron to rush up and tear Snape's mouth, but unfortunately...he couldn't.

There is no way, I have no choice but to be an adult, and I will lose in a few simple duels, as long as I don't lose too ugly.

"Good afternoon everyone!" Guidero said.Lockhart wore a fuchsia robe and walked onto the stage, "I am the host of this duel club, your Defense Against the Dark Arts professor—Gilderoy Lockhart! Professor Dumbledore allowed me to host this duel club. a little dueling club, and train everyone well in case you ever need to defend yourself, in the same way that I have used countless times—see my published work for details on this."
