NOVEL NEXT Hogwarts: I'm just here to enjoy the magic
Chapter 337: Not interested in the position of principal
"Lockhart... indeed knows everything."
Dumbledore frowned thoughtfully.
"He just won't release all the information in one go. What do you think he wants to do?"
"I don't know." Snape responded. "What is certain is that the intention is very big."
"Yes." Dumbledore sighed.
The undercurrent is surging.
Things are obviously developing for the better.
The reason for Voldemort's immortality was found, and the whereabouts of the Horcruxes were also understood.
Even the vast majority of them were in his hands.
It seems that Voldemort will be truly defeated soon, and peace and tranquility will be completely restored to the wizarding world.
But a Lockhart jumped out.
Moreover, he is still a subordinate of some king.
Even Voldemort is just a false king in the opponent's mouth.
In fact, Dumbledore had guessed that Lockhart, and even the organization behind him, wanted to start a major war and rule the wizarding world.
But to this day, it is still quiet.
The only suspicious thing is.
Too quiet.
The peace and security have improved a lot.
The dark wizard in Knockturn Alley has disappeared.
Is there a possibility...
In fact, the other party has already recruited more troops and is secretly accumulating strength?
This possibility is not low.
and so……
Should he continue to solve Voldemort's problem, or should he distract himself and see what happened to Lockhart?
If we can catch the other party and use Legilimency to obtain information, it seems that we can solve the problem.
The issue is……
It's not like he hasn't used Legilimency before.
Lockhart always acted harmless.
The other party even hid information related to Voldemort.
Even with Legilimency, one can only see how Lockhart stole other people's experiences and wrote them into best-selling novels.
This kind of thing...
Not that it's not worth mentioning, but it can at least convict Lockhart and allow him to stay in Azkaban for a while.
But in the face of Voldemort and greater hidden dangers...
What kind of crime is this?
"Lockhart, what a cunning guy." Dumbledore sighed again and again, "I did make a mistake."
If Lockhart doesn't jump out and cause trouble himself.
He didn't even know that Lockhart turned out not to be an idiot, but an actor.
Better than Snape.
Look how Lockhart behaves in school.
Being chased by a Cornish elf during class.
Can normal little wizards deal with elves?
Oh, by the way, that's old news.
The latest big news is that Lockhart was poisoned by a Slytherin witch and was poisoned for a long time.
The reason was that Lockhart deceived her emotionally.
Gee...
Afterwards, Lockhart actually did not hold the female student accountable.
Instead, they are tolerant and let the other side off a lot.
Although the female student didn't appreciate it.
Having said so much, I mainly just want to complain.
Lockhart is truly an actor.
Everyone thought that Lockhart was a loser who could not be dealt with by the Cornish elf, and they were afraid of the female students' revenge.
Who knew that he was actually powerful and the city was extremely deep.
"Actually..." Snape suddenly looked hesitant, "It's not that there is no new information."
"What do you mean?" Dumbledore's eyes lit up.
"I doubted him and wanted to be the principal."
Snape spoke slowly: "He once accidentally mentioned the school board.
I guess...
Is it possible that the murderer of the petrochemical incident has not been caught for a long time, and the victims continue to appear.
This will give the school board the appropriate opportunity to remove you from office.
Then, his chance came. "
"What you said... does make sense..." It was also the first time for Dumbledore to hear such information, and he was completely immersed in it.
Snape, on the other hand, stared at his expression, trying to see what he was really thinking.
"If the petrochemical incident is not solved for a long time, and the number of victims continues to increase, or even real deaths occur..." Dumbledore analyzed, "It may be the same as 50 years ago... By then, not only the school directors will The Council will intervene in this matter, and even the Ministry of Magic will send people to station and conduct a thorough investigation."
"Since we know who the murderer is in advance, wouldn't it be great if we just deal with the basilisk?" Snape suggested smoothly, "avoiding the involvement of the school board and the Ministry of Magic."
"Your suggestion is good." Dumbledore nodded with approval, "But we have to find it first."
Snape observed carefully and saw no sign that Dumbledore was lying.
Dumbledore seemed to be telling the truth.
The petrification incident cannot be solved because the murderer cannot be found.
"There are too many secrets in Hogwarts Castle, many of which I don't even know about." Dumbledore said helplessly, "In addition, since the basilisk originated from Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets, it should be the basilisk." Ratcha Slytherin's pet may have a unique magical transformation that can easily avoid magical detection."
He'd been understatement.
Just say it directly, that thing was specially trained by Salazar Slytherin to kill people.
Imagine.
In the dead of night, when a person stays at home and rests.
A basilisk quietly entered the house, avoiding all magical barriers and warnings, and reached the master room.
Then, he bit the owner of the house to death.
In order to achieve this purpose.
Who knows how many magical transformations the Basilisk has undergone and what strange effects it has on it.
"I have searched repeatedly before, but I still haven't found anything. I suspect that it usually hides in the secret room." Dumbledore said his analysis, "After all, after so many years, we have never found the secret room. . As long as the basilisk continues to hide inside, no one can do anything to it."
Dumbledore spoke sincerely.
Snape was silent for a while and nodded slightly: "It is indeed difficult."
He thought for a moment and then said: "If you can't find it, you may be removed from your position. How do you think you should deal with it?"
"If the basilisk can be dealt with as soon as possible, there will be no problem." Dumbledore said not very confidently.
"Hogwarts cannot live without you now," Snape reminded.
"If that really happened..." Dumbledore pondered for a moment, "I remember, Draco is your godson, right?"
"Yes."
"Then based on your relationship with the Malfoy family, is there any possibility of them supporting you?"
"what do you mean?"
"Let Malfoy talk to the school board, and then you will be the headmaster."
"Headmaster? Me?" Snape shook his head, "I have other things to do, but I don't have the energy."
"What is it?" Dumbledore was confused.
What happened that made Snape so uninterested in the position of Headmaster of Hogwarts?
"I found my memory," Snape confessed.
"Oh? What is it?"
"I have two daughters. I want to focus on raising my daughters."
"??????"
"So, I am not interested in the position of principal."
Dumbledore frowned thoughtfully.
"He just won't release all the information in one go. What do you think he wants to do?"
"I don't know." Snape responded. "What is certain is that the intention is very big."
