Since the Alajo Cave Opening Curse became a necessary skill for wizards, various counter-curses have also emerged, and there are even more countermeasures.
But if you think about it, you won't be very friendly to those who sneak in and pick the lock.
The last time Lockhart tried to sneak into Ernie's office and was stuck against the wall, Peter was there.
The anti-Alajo Opening Curse that Ani set on the door was very clever, at least in Peter's eyes. Even though he was not a novice in this area, he still didn't understand the working mechanism of the counter-curse at all. Naturally, it was so clever. No talk of cracking.
But for Peter, who has been living in the form of a mouse all year round, there is no need to worry about how to take the human path. This door is blocked, but the rat path is accessible.
For example - sewers.
So on Halloween in 1992, the two villains in Hogwarts showed striking similarities in their actions.
Both of them sneaked into the girls' bathroom and jumped into the sewer pipe, but the entrance to the secret room was behind the sink, and Peter got into the toilet on the other side.
Moving along the sewer pipe, Peter successfully arrived under the toilet in Aini's office.
In view of the various strange creatures in the magical world, especially the various household pests that move through the sewers, most wizards will make some special treatments for the details of the interior.
After all, no one wants to have their butt attacked by some little thing at some point.
The book "Gilderoy Lockhart Teaches You How to Get Rid of Household Pests" spends a lot of space telling people how to protect the sewer and ventilation ducts at home.
These protective methods are very effective against really small things, but the magic power of an adult wizard in Peter's body is enough to allow him to easily break through the simple protection in the sewer pipes.
So it was a tragedy for him. Just after he jumped out of the water, he was covered back into the toilet by a sledgehammer.
Then Jerry put away the sledgehammer made of air in his hand and looked at the wet rat with disdain. In his opinion, the rat was really ugly.
According to Peter's past temper, the current situation has been exposed to him, and retreating in time is the best choice.
But after seeing Jerry's condescending eyes, another voice inexplicably emerged in his heart.
[I can do it, it’s just a strange alchemy creation. As long as I can successfully get the token, I will no longer have to live sneakily like a mouse. 】
[What’s the point of living like this now even if it lasts for decades? Give it a try, and if you succeed, you can enjoy a glorious life of a hundred, a thousand, or even an eternity. Even if you fail, it's not a big deal. The guy above can't keep you. 】
So Peter showed a resilience that surprised himself. He ran out and was beaten back again and again, and then he desperately found another toilet in the office. He tried back and forth, but only failed.
After Jerry showed a proud smile, he happily played the water rat. In order to prevent dirty water from splashing out, he carefully placed two small barriers on the toilet so that he could have more fun. .
Horcruxes are more than just fishing tools for Aini, many of the ideas in them are also of great reference value, such as the mind-bewitching technique that keeps them constant...
In order to find a "playmate" to pass the boring time, Jerry consumed a lot of energy.
If little Tom sees this scene, he will definitely shed tears of poverty. Just tempting Lockhart's mind will almost consume all his previous savings. This time after escaping from the secret passage, he is even weaker to the limit, even if it is drained. Lockhart could not muster a satisfactory body.
For this reason, Tom temporarily stopped paying attention to Lockhart and carefully considered the next plan.
It has to be said that Voldemort's talent is indeed astonishing. Even as the original Horcrux, it contained only his previous memories, and its knowledge reserve exceeded that of most adult wizards.
The most important thing is the unique thought.
In the past few days, he had only come up with some ideas to get the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, which had broken through the bottom line, back on track. Even the students' views on Lockhart
It’s also greatly improved.
Without Tom's guidance, Lockhart was knocked back to his original form again. He looked at the young wizard who was firmly attracted to Flitwick and Bill, and walked directly towards Snape without returning to his seat.
Lockhart was the same age as Harry's father, but he entered school a year later because of his birthday. At that time, he often ran around both parties in order to gain popularity, so he was also familiar with Snape.
In his impression, the other party is a person who is very competitive but is always pushed to the ground and rubbed. Judging from his current style, it is obvious that he wants to suppress the other three colleges and is someone he can unite with.
"Severus, it's not a good habit to be jealous of other people's limelight, but we are familiar with each other..."
Lockhart walked over with a warm smile on his face, but unfortunately Snape didn't listen to him at all and interrupted him simply and rudely.
"roll!"
"There's no need to get angry if your innermost feelings are revealed. I'm here to help..."
Feeling the deflected gazes of the professors around him, Lockhart's face heated up, but he continued to chatter as if nothing had happened until Snape took out his wand...
"Well, it's a pity that you can only watch the fun tonight."
Before Snape pointed his wand, Lockhart said something and hurriedly took two steps to Professor McGonagall on the other side of the seat.
"Minerva, how about we perform a show together?"
Lockhart licked his face and moved closer to Professor McGonagall, then took a step back and chanted like an opera performance:
"Fearless warrior, raise your wand high, evil griffon, I will defeat you, in this auditorium where everyone is watching~"
Suddenly Professor McGonagall's eyes flickered, as if looking at a puppy doing something he couldn't change, and his answer was as simple as Snape's.
"No."
Lockhart wanted to say more, but he saw the witch who always paid attention to appearance also pulled out her wand. Before he could give in and escape, Mag's spell casting was completed.
Fortunately, the witch cast her spell on herself.
Unfortunately, Lockhart reacted quickly this time. Before Professor McGonagall's head-bubble spell could be formed, he screamed and squatted on the ground covering his face with his hands.
"Sorry, Professor Lockhart, I'm not used to the smell of perfume."
Professor McGonagall explained lightly. The smell on the other person's body was too strong. Is this guy's perfume in the style of dragon dung?
After the witch finished speaking, a certain professor still covered his face and did not get up - as long as I can't see others, others can't see me.
However, Lockhart still took a strong sniff of the scent on his body. It felt fragrant and beautiful, and he didn't find anything wrong at all.
Guessing that no one would pay attention to this place anymore, Loha put down his hands and stood up, subconsciously looking in Snape's direction.
Sure enough, what scared me so much that I ran away in a hurry was also a head-soaking curse...
