Hogwarts: I'm just here to enjoy the magic

"The secret room..."

Jack looked at Snape questioningly.

"You haven't found that thing yet?"

Snape just gave you a sick look in return.

Isn't he sick?

I have to attend classes during the day and do research at night.

Although he does not need to do it himself when grading homework or something.

That's just a few hours saved.

It's not enough to be used to sweep the school in search of Horcruxes.

"Lockhart, now is not the time to talk about that." Dumbledore shook his head slightly, "Let's do this for today, everyone go back."

Dumbledore's words made everyone else present have questions.

what happened……

Isn't Lockhart just a fool?

Do whatever you want.

Classes are also full of messy stuff.

what's going on?

Now Dumbledore has a special secret with him?

On the contrary, they, the deans of the colleges, are idiots who don’t know anything?

Professor McGonagall and Sprout looked at each other in confusion.

However, Dumbledore asked people to go back first.

I can only press question.

Resign first.

Snape and Jack, on the other hand, made no comment.

So everyone saw Dumbledore and the two of them starting to walk towards the principal's office.

Everyone: "??????"

Their questions are destined to remain unanswered.

It just planted a nail in my heart.

On the way, seeing no one around him, Jack didn't bother to pretend and asked directly: "What's going on? Haven't you found the Horcrux yet?"

Dumbledore looked slightly embarrassed.

This is Hogwarts.

It's his territory.

If you don't know that the Horcrux is in the school, that's it.

But he happened to have received the news a long time ago and could go look for it in advance.

As a result, I have not found it yet, from the season when I can wear short-sleeves to swim in the sea to the season when I have to wear a coat during the day and cover myself with a quilt when sleeping at night.

Doesn't this mean he is incompetent?

"Severus?" Dumbledore looked at Snape.He looked like he wanted to throw the blame to him.

Snape shook his head: "You know, I have been looking for a perfect solution to the soul fragment in Harry's body recently."

There are two Horcruxes in Hogwarts Castle at this time.

The one that was not found is certainly important.

But Harry under his nose is also very important.

When it comes time to destroy the Horcruxes, Avada can't just eat the big melon and send Harry away, right?

Snape was obsessed with finding the perfect solution, no questions asked.

Very reasonable.

Since Snape couldn't take the blame, Dumbledore could only say: "Although I am the principal, it is not convenient for me to go directly to find things."

"Anyway, don't count on me, I'm very busy." Jack spread his hands, "I only know that this thing is in Hogwarts, otherwise I wouldn't come here. If you want to draw a range, there is a high probability that a first-year wizard will get it. Come on. After all, this thing didn’t exist last semester.”

"Same as I guessed." Dumbledore nodded slightly.

He thought so too.

Horcruxes that didn't appear last semester appeared this semester.

Most likely they were brought in by the freshmen who entered the school.

Of course, other possibilities are not ruled out.

Unfortunately.

If you can't find it, you can't find it.

That Horcrux is pretty good at hiding it.

"So, Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets was opened by a Horcrux." Snape concluded, "This thing can move on its own? Is it the same as Quirrell?"

As far as the currently known Horcruxes are concerned, one is a dead object like the Ravenclaw Golden Diadem, and the other is a living object like Quirrell and Harry.

"Who knows." Jack shook his head slightly.

Even if he knew, he wouldn't say anything.

The thing itself was a target, used to attract Dumbledore's attention.

"But... there should be a connection between Horcruxes and Horcruxes, right?" He made a hypothesis, "Perhaps, we can let Harry try it."

When everyone heard the words, they were all silent.

After a long time, Dumbledore broke the silence: "Let's take a look at the follow-up development first. Why should a Horcrux petrify a cat? This makes no sense. As for Harry..."

"Ignore him for now, finding a way to separate the soul fragments is the first priority." Snape interrupted in a deep voice.

"That's it for now." Jack yawned, "Okay, since there's nothing wrong, I'll leave first. I also need to write a reply to my lovely fans."

Dumbledore did not hold back Jack's departure.

Instead, he watched him leave and disappear from sight.

After he and Snape were alone, he said, "Has he done anything recently?"

Snape was his ace spy.

It's obvious that Lockhart has something wrong, so why can't he let Snape investigate?

"I didn't see anything." Snape shook his head. "You also saw that Lockhart has been acting like a clown. I heard that when he was in class a few days ago, he was killed by the Cornish elf. Made it miserable?"

Cornish elves are very good magical creatures, and any little wizard who has learned a little bit of magic can handle them.

Lockhart was actually embarrassed by such a creature.

It's really a poor performance.

"Your news is a little delayed." Dumbledore smiled after hearing this, "That happened last month. It was really embarrassing. The entire class was destroyed by the Cornish elf. It was the students who took action. That stopped the riot."

"Look, he looks like this in school. What can you tell? When he is in front of us, he looks completely different." Snape snorted coldly, "According to Muggles, this person is an actor. .Haven’t you ever used Legilimency?”

he asked seemingly meaningfully.

"I won't mess with that magic." Dumbledore shook his head.

But Snape looked unconvinced.

When Dumbledore saw it, he could only sigh: "Of course, I did try it. It's strange that I can see his memories, but only the normal parts."

"what do you mean?"

"He may be proficient in Occlumency. He hid some important information. What I saw were parts of no value."

"So, you still have to put up with him?" Snape snorted.

"Apparently, yes." Dumbledore nodded helplessly.

Lockhart, anyone could see there was something wrong.

But Dumbledore just couldn't see Lockhart's true identity.

He had to admit that he was wrong.

Before I recruited this guy to Hogwarts, I thought he was an easy fool.

did not expect……

The fool is myself.

Lockhart is such an actor. What little wizard wouldn't curl up his lips and say, 'It's just him'?Are you worthy of being a teacher?You might as well let me be a teacher! '.

But he happened to hide other identities, and he could kill Snape with one move in front of him.

It's really outrageous.

"Forget it, I don't have enough energy to investigate him before the Horcrux problem is completely solved anyway." Snape said in a deep voice, "As for Harry's problem, have you found a solution?"

"Maybe, but I'm not sure."

Dumbledore pretended to be secretive.

"I can only say that if you really have no choice, you can give it a try."
