Hogwarts Mysterious Man Resurrected

Chapter 22: The Gryffindor trio gather again



Unlike usual, the third floor looked particularly quiet today.

There are no little wizards coming and going, and there is no Professor Lockhart who is always smiling.

Yes, Hermione arrived on the third floor where Professor Lockhart's office was.

This place was not like before. It was full of little witches who admired Professor Lockhart, which made her quite uncomfortable.

You must know that yesterday there were a large number of witches waiting for Lockhart's autograph, but today there are none.

Could it be that they also discovered the fact that Lockhart is a big liar?

Hermione found what she was thinking a little funny.

But the absence of those witches today is enough to explain a lot of things. Lockhart may not be in his office.

But Hermione didn't care. If Lockhart was really there, she could take this opportunity to reveal his true identity.

His absence would have no effect on her, she just wanted to give it a try.

Although it was because of the guidance and hints from the diary that she felt that Lockhart was a liar, it was not because of her own suspicions.

If there was no doubt, she would not choose to believe what the diary said.

She is not stupid, on the contrary she is very smart.

When she had even the slightest doubt about Lockhart, she was quick to find out the truth.

And this time she took this opportunity to find evidence of Lockhart.

You can either ask about Ginny's whereabouts, or you can take the opportunity to reveal Lockhart's true face.

Why not do it

But there was no one in Lockhart's office at this time, so Hermione took out her wand and walked in cautiously.

There was a thin layer of water in the corridor, but there was none in Lockhart's office.

She had a hunch that Lockhart might not have gone to sign autographs for other little witches, but had been killed.

Chant the spell gently and "fluorescence flashes".

As the white light drove out the darkness, Hermione could see a lot more places.

"Hey, this is"

She stepped forward and picked up a torn blue fragment. The material was exactly the blue robe Lockhart often wore, but now it was torn into pieces.

This piece of clothing strengthened Hermione's thoughts.

Lockhart had been killed.

In other words, Ginny may have been here.

"I hope she's okay"

Hermione prayed inwardly that she had more important things to do now.

Notify Hagrid and the Professor, as well as Harry and Ron.

Especially Harry and Ron, the two people who worried her the most.

Once the two of them know Ginny's whereabouts, they are likely to save Ginny regardless of their own safety.

This was fine, but Hermione was afraid it was a trap by Voldemort.

He might be here for Harry.

No, stop Harry.

Hermione thought to herself that she would hide what was going on here until the professor showed up.

Anyone can tell, except Harry and Ron.

In order to ensure their safety.

At this point she had to go to the Gryffindor common room to join them and wait for the professor to arrive before informing them of Professor Lockhart's situation.

Just when she was about to leave, two figures stumbled in.

The loud sound startled Hermione, and she turned around suddenly holding her wand.

"Harry, and Ron. Why are you here?"

Looking at the two figures falling to the ground, somewhat embarrassed.

They were all illuminated clearly by the white light in her hand.

"Sorry, Hermione. Why is there water here? It's too slippery."

"You haven't answered my question yet. Didn't you go back to the Gryffindor common room to inquire about Ginny's whereabouts?"

"That's exactly what we wanted to tell you." Ron looked sadly into Hermione's eyes.

Hermione's serious expression at this time reminded him of Professor McGonagall, which invisibly weakened his aura.

"We learned from Ravenclaw that Ginny came to Lockhart's office."

"Then we rushed over." Harry intervened, looking at Hermione's serious expression, and added, "I was afraid that something would happen to you."

This made Hermione's heart warm, but then she sighed inwardly.

She had thought about not letting Harry come here until the professor arrived.

But the scene in front of her obviously failed her plan.

With their personalities, they must be the kind of people who never look back until they hit the wall.

"I didn't see Professor Lockhart when I came, and I didn't see Ginny either."

She said calmly to Harry and Ron that she wanted to try again to see if she could lure these two people away.

"I think we need to find other professors first, and then find their whereabouts."

"No, it will be too late by then. No one knows what will happen to Ginny." Harry said sternly. He was very resistant to this choice of leaving other people's lives to an unknown fate.

"Then do you know where they went?"

"We don't have any information right now on where they went."

Hermione said seriously, she frowned, this was what she really thought in her heart.

"We'd better wait for the professor to arrive. Maybe they're fine just yet."

"What do you mean it's okay? No one knows what Voldemort will do to Ginny."

Ron yelled at Hermione, dissatisfaction written on his face. She was his sister and Hermione's good friend. No one thought that Hermione was going to stop them from saving Ginny.

Waiting for the professor here, Ginny may be killed by Voldemort by then.

Unlike the angry Ron, Harry looked at Hermione very warily, and he pointed his wand at her secretly.

"Hermione, do you feel something is wrong?"

"Something's wrong." This made her slightly startled. "What could be wrong with me?"

Before he finished speaking, Hermione realized that she understood what Harry meant.

She began to think about what she had just done.

After a while, she looked at Harry and Ron, her face flushed, her eyes full of anger, and she gritted her teeth and said, "I was affected."

"Sorry Harry, Lockhart and Ginny may have gone to the bathroom where Myrtle is."

"Are you okay?" Harry put away his wand and looked at Hermione worriedly.

He had felt something wasn't right with Hermione before.

Even when he told Hagrid that the two of them should go to the Gryffindor common room and he went to Professor Lockhart's office, Harry already felt that something was wrong with her.

Until now, when Hermione said those words just now, it gave Harry a strange feeling.

Normally Hermione would not be like this. Once someone is in danger, she will go with them to solve it.

"It's okay, Harry"

"I seem to have been affected."

Hermione pressed her eyebrows. She was very sure that she was not controlled by the diary.

If she was controlled, she might immediately attack Harry and the others.

But she didn't, and it doesn't rule out that the diary was too far away from her and its influence on her weakened, giving her time to react.

With her smart temperament, how could she not figure out that the diary had affected her through some unknown method in the past few days.

"That's good. You just said that Lockhart and Ginny went to the girls' bathroom."

"Yes." Hermione was a little annoyed, annoyed by her own performance just now.

"You should notice that there is some water flowing outside the corridor."

"If I'm not mistaken, this is the bathroom where Myrtle is on the third floor."

"Normally no one goes in there, but now there is water flowing from there. Don't you think this is suspicious?"

Harry and Ron nodded, they already understood what Hermione meant.

"In other words, they went to the bathroom on the third floor."

"Yes, so how many times do you want me to say it again, Ron?" Hermione looked at him angrily.

"Then let's go now and bring Ginny back." Harry was determined not to let Voldemort hurt anyone.

"But" Hermione was still hesitant. It would be best to inform the professor about this kind of thing.

"Hermione, if we don't go, Ginny might be in danger."

She looked at Harry with eyes full of firm conviction.

"Well, maybe I'm still influenced by that diary and am a little hesitant."

"I'll leave a letter for the professors and then we'll go rescue Ginny."

"Bring her back safely."
