Gidro Lohart kneeled, what does that mean?

That's right, this confirms that the position of Professor of Black Magic Defense was indeed cursed by the person who could not even name it. No one could hold on it for a year without any surprise. Professor Quirrell, who took over the position, was ruthlessly taken out of his heart by Pei Chen, and his soul was torn apart by Voldemort, and he died of a life of no end.

And this position of Gidro Lohart is undoubtedly a real fool, without any real material. Not to mention anything else, it has been less than two weeks since he took office! He actually knelt again so quickly, which simply lowered the records of all the brave men who have fought in this position!

It was so embarrassing that I went to my grandma's house!

Because the suspected situation of "the position of professor of black magic defense is cursed" was confirmed, the castle was rampant for a while, and all kinds of discussions appeared. The students who were so bored that they were about to fade out of the bird were 200% enthusiastic about this, and they had to say their opinions and speculations when they saw people. It was just like a fact.

In the end, even the news about the "secret room" was overwhelmed and was soon forgotten. As for such a situation, Dumbledore, as the principal of the school, did not know whether he should be happy or angry.

Even he began to shake his inner thoughts. Could it be that there is really a curse in the position of Professor of Dark Magic Defense that he could not even test? If this is the case, it would be terrible. Perhaps the peak of Voldemort's life was the moment when he imposed that curse-

Dumbledore arrived at the scene as fast as possible, followed by many other teachers. Harry and the other two became more restrained, and they were all unnatural. "Harry, where is Professor Lockhart?" Dumbledore asked, his tone of gentleness.

"He...he was taken back to the office by Professor Lyle," Harry replied.

"Okay, you guys come together, after all, strictly speaking, this is also the problem you discovered first, isn't it?"

The noisy crowd separated to both sides and let them pass. Harry and the other two smiled bitterly, hurriedly following Dumbledore. At this time, they saw Draco Malfoy crowded in front of the crowd. The other party's cold eyes were alive, and his usually bloodless face turned red. He looked at the words written on the wall and showed a grim smile on his face.

Harry suddenly felt very disappointed. Why wasn't Malfoy the petrified one? If Malfoy was really caught, he believed that he would be so happy that he sang a song - but Professor McGonagall and Snape also followed, right behind him, and he couldn't really sing.

As they walked into Lockhart's dim office, a sudden commotion broke out on the wall. Harry saw Lockhart in several photos hiding in panic, with curly hair on their hair. The real Gidero Lockhart himself was now placed in a corner of the room, still maintaining the posture of reaching out to tidy up his hair.

Professor Lyle stood in front of the stone statue, looking thoughtful, and did not even notice them coming in.

"How is it? Professor Lyle," Dumbledore said.

"Ah, you are here..." Pei Chen was awakened from his thoughts, looked at the few people, snapped his fingers, and the candlesticks around the office were lit out of thin air. With this hand, Ron looked straight and muttered to himself, "Wow, this is really... so handsome."

"I can't draw any conclusions, you should take a look at it yourself!" Pei Chen made way out of the position, thinking that he should let a professional come.

Dumbledore was not polite, so he went up and took a candle, and began to carefully examine Professor Gidro Lohart's body in the flames - well, if you want to be dirty, you can kill yourself by swallowing the feces!

Dumbledore's long hooked nose almost touched Professor Lockhart's clothes. He looked at it carefully through his half-moon glasses, and his slender fingers poked here and there.

Professor McGonagall squinted his eyes and looked at him carefully. Snape stood behind them, half of his body hidden in the shadow, looking gloomy. The expression on his face was very strange, exactly the same as Pei Chen's current expression - both seemed to be trying hard to restrain himself from laughing.

Harry, Ron and Hermione exchanged their eyes nervously, then sat on several chairs that were not shining with candlelight and watched closely.

Finally, Dumbledore murmured some strange spells and knocked Professor Lockhart's body with his wand, but it was useless. Professor Giedro Lockhart stood there stiffly, maintaining the perfect smile that showed the standard eight teeth, like a newly prepared specimen.

"Professor Lohart is not dead, he is just petrified." Dumbledore straightened up and said softly. Harry and the other two looked at each other. Isn't this the conclusion drawn by Professor Lyle before? But what's the use?

"But I don't know what happened..." Dumbledore continued, staring at Harry and the other two in shock, and explained, "This effect is indeed only possible by advanced petrification curse, but the use of ordinary curse resolution methods does not take effect at all. This shows that this is probably an unprecedentedly profound black magic, with the power of petrification curse but is completely different."

"Please allow me to say something, Principal." Snape suddenly interrupted in the shadow.

Harry's heart thumped violently, and he believed that what Snape said would never do anything good for him.

"Maybe, Potter and his friends shouldn't have been there at that time," Snape said, his lips twisting and sneering, as if he was deeply suspicious of it, "but we did encounter a series of doubts. For example, why they were still wandering around the castle at that time, and there were no other people..."

"I'm sorry, Professor Snape." Pei Chen interrupted him coldly, "I was with Harry and the others at that time."

"It is impossible for first-year students to do this, even Voldemort would not be able to do it!" Dumbledore said firmly, "This requires the highest deep black magic."

Professor Snape choked, and the expression on his face became even more ugly.

"To be honest, Severus," said Professor McGonagall, "Now we should be more concerned about Professor Gidro Lohart's life safety! Instead of pursuing who is responsible here!"

Originally, she just opened fire on Snape, but as soon as she said this, even Dumbledore and Pei Chen couldn't help but feel embarrassed. Because both of them intentionally or unintentionally ignored the personal safety of this fool. They thought that as long as he didn't die, it would be a good situation. Who has time to care about his personal rights issues?!

"Mrs. Sprout recently got some Mandelagrass. Once they grow up and mature, we can configure some Mandelagra resurrection potion, which can remove all petrochemical effects. Professor Lockhart's safety is not a problem at all." Dumbledore said, and gently said to Harry, Ron and Hermione.

"You can go back first."

They were as if they were amnesty, and they couldn't help but try their best to speed up and almost ran away.

...

...

When they arrived upstairs of Lockhart's office, they entered an empty classroom and gently closed the door. Harry narrowed his eyes and looked at the faces of his two friends in the dark.

"I think, should I tell them the whisper I heard?"

"Don't say it!" Ron and Hermione said in unison.

"It is not a good sign to hear a voice that others cannot hear, even in the magical world." Ron said seriously, "and Professor Lyle also heard this voice, just let him deal with it. We'd better not talk too much."

Harry heard something from Ron's voice, and he asked, "You believe me, do you?"

"Of course I believe Hermione will believe you," Ron said readily, making Harry feel relieved, "But... you must admit that this is bizarre..."

"I know it's bizarre," Harry said. "The whole incident was bizarre. And what's going on with the words on the wall? The secret room was opened... What does that mean?"

"Oh, this reminds me of something," Ron said slowly, "It seems that someone once told me that the secret room of Hogwarts...it was probably Bill..."

...

...

"What is the secret room...? I checked the information and found that it is always vague."

Pei Chen asked.

Dumbledore hesitated for a moment and said slowly: "This one starts from a long time ago..."

A long time ago? When Pei Chen heard such a fairy tale-like classic beginning, he raised his eyebrows obviously.

"In Hogwarts, there is an ancient legend. The four founders of Hogwarts had great differences in their opinions on recruiting students. Slytherin believes that only pure-blooded wizards with the most pure blood can be qualified to enter his academy..." Dumbledore used a plain tone, saying what he knew about the secret room as if he was telling a story.

"... In the last conflict, Slytherin left Hogwarts, but before that he established a secret room in a place in Hogwarts. It is said that only Slytherin's heirs could open the secret room. But for so many years, no one has ever known where this secret room is."

"In other words - it's not certain, right?" Pei Chen nodded in understanding, his eyes slightly changed, and he felt thoughtful.

Seeing him like this, Dumbledore hesitated for a moment and still said such information: "In fact, fifty years ago, the secret room was opened and a female student was killed... But soon the 'secret room heir' was arrested, so the matter was left alone."

"From your tone, you don't seem to think that the heir of the secret room is real, Principal..." Pei Chen chuckled, but the next moment his face changed, and he keenly captured the real keyword, "Slow down, are you saying... fifty years ago? The victim was or a girl?"

"Yes, is there any problem? Professor Lyle, or did you find anything?" Dumbledore immediately knew what he might have discovered and answered decisively.

"Well, I'll ask again, or finally confirm that the girl who was killed fifty years ago would be the crying Myrtle!"

Seeing Dumbledore nodding and confirming, Pei Chen laughed in an instant, quickly filtered all the information in his mind, and turned to show a strange expression, smiling.
