Ted reasoned with dear Professor Lockhart and successfully convinced him.
"Let's go, Professor, please get on your way~" Ted stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation.
The chicken brother on the desk lowered his head and looked down at Lockhart. Lockhart looked at the golden beak that was longer than his own fingers, and his heart felt frightened. He had to smile with difficulty and stood up to take a step forward.
Lockhart shuffled forward step by step as if walking to the execution ground, his heart filled with darkness.
Suddenly, Ted in front stopped, and he realized that he had arrived in the corridor. It was the corridor where the original writing said that the secret room was opened.
Could it be that the entrance to the secret room is right here?
Lockhart is so excited!
It's not far from my office!
"Let's go, Professor." Ted walked into the abandoned bathroom first.
Lockhart was stunned and looked carefully. That's right, the women's bathroom - the secret room is actually in the women's bathroom? Who did this? !
Lockhart was about to cry. The secret room was actually next to me, and why was it placed in the women's room? Who could have found it?
Newborn!
Walking into the women's bathroom, I found that the space was quite small. Lockhart had never been in this place before. He was somewhat curious and looked around - there was no urinal, but there was nothing special about it. of.
There is a wash basin in the middle and a row of cubicles inside.
There are several other students in the women's bathroom, Neville, Hermione and others.
Lockhart should have thought long ago that these six people were inseparable and must be together.
Neville, Ron and the others all looked at Ted: You really invited him to block the curse!
"How's it going? Did you find any clues?" Ted asked.
Jerry quickly raised his hand, walked to a faucet, and said with a little excitement: "I found that this faucet did not produce water, and I felt a snake-shaped relief on the side."
Ted looked at Neville: "Neville, it's your turn. Tell him to open it and use Parseltongue."
"Parseltongue!" Lockhart suddenly felt enlightened!
Yes, it is said that Slytherin is a Parseltongue, so using Parseltongue as the selection criteria for the successor is actually not a good choice!
But...will Longbottom be the heir?
He thought about Neville's performance: Impossible. There was nothing Slytherin in Longbottom. How could he be the heir of Slytherin? I do believe that he is the heir of Gryffindor.
But Neville's Parseltongue was unmistakable. Neville walked to the faucet, looked at his friend a little confused, then looked at the old faucet, and opened his mouth: "Open it!"
no response!
Jerry: "Neville, you're speaking in human language, in Parseltongue!"
Parseltongue? What can I say! Neville secretly hated Parseltongue so much that he never used it even once.
I'm a little confused now.
Ted had no choice but to give guidance: "Neville, look at this faucet. Imagine that it is a snake, a cold and slippery snake. It is waiting for you to speak, tell it, command it - open!"
Under the guidance of Ted's voice, the gray old faucet seemed to begin to change and turned into a gray-black snake.
"￥%...#@~" A hissing sound like a snake spitting out messages came from Neville's mouth.
Then the sinks and faucets in the middle circle suddenly began to move, just like the walls of the Leaky Cauldron and Diagon Alley, which began to change.
The sink spread outwards, revealing a large hole nearly two meters in diameter on the ground!
A rotten smell came up, like the smell of an old room that hasn't had its windows opened for ventilation for a long time.
Ted poked the dazed Lockhart in the back with his wand: "Professor, first, set an example to the students."
Lockhart almost cried at that moment, he didn't want to die!
Ted, Ted, when did you become like this? Weren't you like this before? !
However, as the magic power on the wand gathered, Lockhart had to put away his fear of the unknown monster, gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and jumped~
The hole was connected to a very long smooth pipe. Lockhart's butt rubbed against the pipe and slid down very fast. After more than ten seconds, he felt as if his butt was on fire and he couldn't help but scream.
The sound became weaker and weaker in the pipe, and it seemed to be slipping away.
Ted glanced at his friends and shrugged: "I'm next. I suggest you use the soles of your feet to rub oil on your butts. Professor Lockhart's scream just now was a bit miserable..."
Ted cast several spells on himself before floating down the pipe below. The friends in the back gritted their teeth, and one came down every five seconds.
After sliding down for five or six minutes, we finally reached the flat ground.
It's dark and damp here, and there are broken bones everywhere.
Ted looked around and felt that this place should be deep underground in the castle, maybe even under the Black Lake.
Professor Lockhart covered his butt with both hands and lay in the corner in a frustrated posture, groaning in pain without daring to make a loud noise.
His pants were frayed, and his delicate butt was probably not spared either.
When the friends who followed him saw his appearance, they couldn't help but feel happy that Ted used "oiling the soles of his feet" on his butt.
"Where is this place?" Hermione asked in a low voice. The broken bones under her feet made a snapping sound, which made her very uneasy.
Ted said: "It should be underground. The secret room should be not far away. Everyone should wear goggles."
Lockhart looked at Ted and the six of them wearing cool goggles and was very puzzled: It's so dark here, you are still wearing sunglasses? If it doesn’t work, shall we go back? Let's bring the principal back and let him administer justice!
Ted snapped his fingers, which was very clear in the darkness. Ansu suddenly appeared out of nowhere, hovering silently above everyone, and then flew forward to explore the way.
The spiritual crystal servant Parker in his arms was also trying his best to sense the movements of the surrounding mental bodies.
Must be on guard.
With Ansu leading the way, Ted and his team moved forward cautiously.
About seven or eight minutes later, Ansu in front suddenly sent a message to Ted that something had been discovered.
Ted saw a giant snake through Ansu's eyes!
But it's motionless and the color is a bit pale...
It's snake skin, or snake slough to be precise.
Reptiles such as snakes can continue to grow, but their skin does not grow that fast. Therefore, when they grow to a certain level, they will shed a layer of skin and become larger.
This coiled snake slough is already quite large. It looks like it is about one meter in diameter. The length cannot be seen because it is coiled together, but it must be at least twenty meters!
What a giant snake!
"Let's go, we found something." Ted led the team directly there.
Everyone was frightened by the pile of snake sloughs, which were as tall as two or three people. They all stared at it blankly without speaking.
At this time, Lockhart was already frightened. He had just heard from Ron that the monster in the secret room was a basilisk!
Such a big basilisk? Whoever you stare at will die!
If I really go to save people with these brats regardless of life and death, I will be dead!
At this moment, Lockhart's mind was racing with thoughts, and he was extremely excited. In the perception of the psychic crystal servant Parker, it is as conspicuous as someone holding a flashlight in the dark.
But Ted pretended not to notice, and still turned his back to everyone, looking at the huge snake slough.
At this time, Lockhart had already made up his mind: If he continued, he would definitely die, so he might as well fight!
If I could subdue all these children, use the Forgetting Curse to cleanse my memory, and then shed a lot of snakes back, then not only would I be able to avoid death, but I could also become a hero!
He stared carefully at Ron in front of him, his wand stuck in his waist - sneak attack!
He rushed over, grabbed Ron's curse, and then without waiting for Ron to yell, he did not hesitate to cast the ultimate enhanced, all-out, and forgetting curse on Ted at the front!
"Everything is forgotten~~~" Lockhart's voice echoed in the empty underground space.
The friends turned around in surprise and saw Ron's wand wrapped with magic tape in Lockhart's hand emitting a strange green light, then suddenly shot out from the end and hit Lockhart in the chest.
Lockhart jumped on the spot and flew straight up to more than three meters high. He hit the roof of the cave and then fell to the ground without moving.
The fall was so hard that the loose soil on the ground was stirred up to a height of more than one meter.
"He, he, he, he can't be dead, right?" Ron looked like he had seen a ghost, fearing that his wand might kill someone.
"Professor Lockhart? Professor Lockhart?" Everyone called Lockhart cautiously, just like they did before in the dueling club. Yesterday was a reappearance of Yes.
Lockhart's eyelids trembled and he opened them. Then he grinned and let out a silly smile: "Hehe~hehehe~" His eyes were as innocent as a baby's.
Ted used his psychic ability to sense it - Lockhart's mental body was almost white.
Restored to factory settings!
Lockhart's skill in the Oblivion Curse was so high that he was considered a supermodel, yet he still tried his best to cast it in desperate situations. Then he caught up with the three times the power of the backfire and hit himself, washing himself out.
Have a pure heart like a baby!
