Chapter 108 The Diary Was Stolen

Orlando still underestimated Lockhart's shamelessness, no, Lockhart with the equipment quickly showed his skills in class, turning around the image of counterfeit parallel importers in one fell swoop.

"Have you heard?" Ron said mysteriously.

"What?" Harry smeared sauce on the bread in his hand.

"Lockhart, he taught the fifth graders a spell today without a wand or a spell. It is said that even Dumbledore can't do it so fast."

Orlando spat out a mouthful of soup.

"What's wrong with you?" Ron looked at him in surprise.

"It's nothing, as expected, as expected." Orlando quickly wiped his mouth.

"Did he use the magic item you sold him?" Hermione asked suspiciously.

"It must be. Do you want us to expose him?" Harry said without thinking.

"Not so good. Orlando just cheated him for 5000 Galleons. We jumped out at this time. He must know that it was us who did it. Maybe Lockhart went to the principal to sue for money. If not, it will be exposed." When money is involved, Ron's mind turns quickly.

"Ron is right, let's just pretend we don't know about it." Orlando nodded, paying both the money and the goods, and it's none of his business how the owner uses the goods.

"It's too cheap for Lockhart, a liar." Harry was a little reconciled, he had long hated Lockhart's Defense Against the Dark Arts class, especially performing dramas on the podium like a clown.

"Be patient. Anyway, there is no professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts who can stay for a full year. Don't forget that this class is cursed. Maybe we won't see him in the next school year."

"That's really great. I hope I can change to a better professor. Recently, I have practiced mental power with Orlando and I feel that my magic power has increased a lot, and the power of magic is also much stronger. If I can learn some powerful defense against the black arts Knowledge, I think it will surprise people when we graduate, and maybe become an Auror." Ron began to fantasize about the day he would become an Auror.

Ron's words seemed to pique Harry's interest, and the two had a lively discussion on the Auror issue.

Orlando shrugged his shoulders. He is a man who worships thousands of great powers. How could he work for the Ministry of Magic? If he has that spare time, he might as well work two more bowls of rice. After all, there is nothing more important in the heart of a cook than food.

"Orlando, what do you want to do in the future?" Harry asked curiously, and Hermione also pricked her ears.

"Me? I should engage in magic research, write books when I have nothing to do, and maybe explore the universe when I am successful in cultivation." Orlando thought for a while and replied.

Harry and Ron looked at each other, and Hermione was also at a loss. They could understand the first two, but what the hell is exploring the universe?

Before they could continue to ask, Orlando urged: "Hurry up and eat. It's useless to think so far now. If you don't have enough strength, everything is delusional."

Since being warned by Dumbledore, Orlando has become a lot more honest. He is not a troublesome character, but he has encountered a bottleneck in his cultivation recently. He wants to have some fun and earn some extra money. By the way, he can relieve his mood. Now that he is in a better mood, he The three points and one line state of studying, reading, and practicing have been restored.

"What's the matter, Harry." Orlando, who was reading in the library, was suddenly interrupted, feeling a little upset.

"Orlando, Hermione, can you come with me?" Harry and Ron looked nervous.

Hermione glanced at Orlando, closed the book without saying a word, pulled Orlando up and left the library.

"What's the matter?" Orlando was a little puzzled. Today is Saturday, and a good date was disturbed.

"Diary, Tom Riddle, do you remember? It is the owner of this diary. He told me that the monster in the Chamber of Secrets was an eight-eyed spider named Aragog 50 years ago, and that Hagrid opened the door of the Chamber of Secrets." .In order to win my trust, he also showed me his memory, and I saw Dumbledore in it, and Hagrid who was expelled from the Ministry of Magic."

"It's obvious that he's lying, and he's covering up something on purpose? If my predictions are correct, it must be Tom Riddle who opened the secret room and released the basilisk." Orlando didn't keep his secrets, and pointed it out directly.

"Why?" Ron was a little puzzled. He couldn't figure out how a diary could be so powerful.

"Stupid, Hagrid is a student of Gryffindor College. Just because of this, he can't be the heir of Slytherin. Obviously, 50 years ago, Hagrid was used as a scapegoat. The crime pushed Hagrid to act as a shield, and he escaped unscathed. Tom Riddle, who was behind the scenes, not only covered up the crime but also gained honor. He thought you were just Hogwarts junior students and didn't know We have already found out that the monster in the secret room is a basilisk, so we relaxed our vigilance and checked your memories, hoping to lure you into taking the bait. In this way, this diary must be a black magic item, and the owner who made it must have Knowing the location of the Chamber of Secrets, we'd better give it to Dumbledore, maybe the headmaster has a way to solve this mystery."

Hermione deserved to be the smartest Gryffindor, and quickly analyzed the cause and effect of the matter from the clues.

Harry and Ron glanced at each other. They felt that Hermione was right. If the diary was really behind the scenes, the matter would be serious.

"Let's go back to the dormitory to get the diary, and we'll meet up in the principal's office later."

After they finished speaking, they ran back slowly.

"Let's go, let's go to Dumbledore, and hope to catch this guy this time."

The two came to the principal's office one step ahead of time. Dumbledore's eyes lit up after listening to their analysis, as if he had thought of something.

At this time, Harry and Ron rushed over, sweating profusely from running, and Harry said out of breath, "It's not good, the professor's diary is lost."

"What? How did the diary get lost?" Hermione couldn't believe it.

"When we went back, we found that the dormitory had been turned over in a mess, and the diary was gone." Ron breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly added.

Dumbledore was very calm, and just said, "Go, go and see the scene."

Orlando shrugged, a little unbelievable, the self-healing ability of this plot is too powerful, he was still thinking on the way, did they deviate from the original drama by doing this, and ended up giving you a BUG fix.

After a lot of tossing and finding nothing, Dumbledore didn't say anything, but just told Harry that he must be cautious when encountering such unknown objects with thoughts in the future, and it is best to report them to him as soon as possible.

"It's been a good weekend for people to mess up." Orlando muttered dissatisfied.

"I'm sorry, Orlando, I didn't expect this to happen." Harry in the common room was a little frustrated. He finally had any clues about who was behind the scenes, and now they were all cut off.

"Okay, don't blame Harry, and it's not his fault." Hermione said something fair.

"Let me remind you that this is likely to be done by someone behind the scenes. If so, you'd better be careful, especially Hermione. You and I are both Muggle-born and easy to become targets." Thinking of the original Hermione seems After being petrified and almost not dying, Orlando became a little nervous, "Pause the recent practice, and don't go to the Room of Requirement, especially you Hermione, try not to leave me alone, until the secret room is found Stop."

"Orlando, are you too nervous?" Although Orlando's concern was very helpful to her, she had several adventures and felt that Orlando was a little too nervous.

"Hermione, you have to understand that the life of a wizard is more fragile than you think. Don't think I'm scaremongering. I don't want you to regret it because of an accident."

He had never seen him so serious before, and Hermione was also a little worried while being moved. Could it be that Orlando had a premonition?

Harry and Ron looked at each other, they didn't realize the seriousness of the problem.
