Hogwarts Mysterious Man Resurrected

"You're just in time, Percy."

Lockhart turned around, his trademark smile on his face.

That smile warmed Percy's heart, and the gloom he had felt these past few days dissipated a bit.

"Do you need my help with anything, Professor?"

"Yes, I heard that you got excellent grades in every subject."

"I just don't know how much you know about magical animals."

When I hear others praise me, Professor Lockhart, whom I admire the most, praises me the most.

Percy looked a little excited.

Percy has always been proud of his excellent grades in every subject.

This is the result of his efforts and his proof to the world.

"Professor, I think my knowledge of magical animals is pretty good." Percy said modestly.

Although Percy looks humble, he is actually prouder than anyone else.

Because he had spent some time trying to understand the types and habits of magical animals.

In Hogwarts, in addition to Professor Kettle Burn who teaches them about magical animals, there is also Hogwarts Gamekeeper Rubeus Hagrid.

It can be said that no one knows more about magical beasts than Percy.

There may also be a Dumbledore and Hermione to get rid of.

The former can even discover twelve uses of dragon's blood, and is also proficient in the languages ​​​​of many other intelligent magical animals. From here, you can see Professor Dumbledore's understanding of magical animals.

In the latter, even Percy was envious of Hermione's talent.

As long as you give her enough time and enough books, she can know everything she wants to know.

Can't compare, can't compare

"Come, follow me"

Lockhart walked in front, and in front of them was a place where cabinets were kept.

"Okay, Professor."

Percy quickly followed, looking ahead curiously.

There were neatly arranged cabinets, which struck Percy as odd.

I don't understand why there are these cabinets here.

And what Percy was curious about was that the cabinet was a bit tall and looked very big.

It seems to be able to hold quite large items.

In fact, there are really big things in the cabinet.

Lockhart led Percy to the cabinet, and he reached out and opened it.

As the cabinet was opened, Percy could see clearly what was inside.

"Professor, this is this"

"Why don't you guess what this is?"

Lockhart looked at Percy and smiled like a fox, he looked very happy.

Percy stepped forward, his expression solemn.

He reached out and touched the contents of the cabinet.

That's a huge hide, just from what's revealed.

Percy could feel how huge the owner of this skin was

"Emerald green, hard skin."

"Fractured."

Percy took out his wand and cast a spell on the huge hide.

When he saw that there was no trace on it, he was stunned for a while.

"Powerful magic resistance"

This time, Percy held the wand and gently stroked the hide with one hand.

He frowned, looking like he was in trouble.

Percy had a guess in his mind, but he didn't dare to confirm it.

Legend has it that there is a monster in Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets

Lockhart still had a charming smile on his face.

It's like the smile on his face will never go away.

He quietly looked at Percy who was deep in thought, sitting aside and playing with the small bottle in his hand.

Percy's mind was in confusion. He seemed to know what was in front of him, but he just didn't know whether it was true or not.

Reason told him that what he thought in his heart was what he thought.

But Percy also knew that that thing hadn't appeared for hundreds of years, and the British wizarding community had banned hatching it.

He moved his eyes towards Professor Lockhart, only to find that Professor Lockhart had been looking at him.

He wanted to speak, but the words stuck in his throat and couldn't come out.

"It's what you think, my dear student." Lockhart retracted the wand in his hand, came to Percy's side, and gently touched the contents of the cabinet with one hand.

There was something in his words, and Percy naturally understood what he meant.

"Professor, in which ruins was this large piece of basilisk skin found?"

His mood gradually calmed down. Maybe Professor Lockhart discovered this when he was adventuring elsewhere.

Then he brought it back to Hogwarts. This time he called him here probably because he wanted to ask him if he recognized the skin of some magical creature.

After all, in Percy's mind, before coming to Hogwarts.

Professor Lockhart is a wizard who takes risks every day.

Either on the way to an adventure, or in the midst of an adventure.

Fight desperately with those dark creatures and narrowly escape death in the ruins.

He is a legendary wizard who spends his life on adventures and struggles between life and death.

And he, Percy Weasley, will be like Professor Lockhart in the future.

Become a great wizard.

"No, this was not found in the ruins."

"Percy, you have to know that there are too many secrets in Hogwarts."

Lockhart meant what he meant, and his current smile was quite playful.

"That"

"This is the skin that the basilisk shed in Hogwarts not long ago."

Lockhart's voice reached Percy's ears.

He couldn't believe that there was such a dangerous thing in Hogwarts.

You must know that whoever looks at the eyes of the basilisk will die.

Professor Dumbledore would leave such a thing in Hogwarts

"wrong."

It suddenly occurred to Percy that Great Britain did not allow hatching of basilisks.

And I haven’t heard of any monster cannibalism happening in Hogwarts.

So where did this basilisk come from?

You know, the basilisk needs a lot of food.

Without a lot of food, how can we raise a basilisk?

Percy looked at Lockhart with a desire to investigate.

Lockhart seemed to have noticed Percy's thoughts, and the playfulness in his eyes became more and more serious.

"Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets"

Percy immediately guessed what Lockhart meant.

Anyone who can excel in every wizard subject is certainly not a fool.

Although it was just a short sentence, it confirmed Percy's inner suspicion.

"Professor, the legend of Slytherin is true."

He felt his mouth was a little dry, and there was a wry smile on his face.

"But"

"But someone opened the secret room a few days ago and checked it again, but found nothing, right?"

Lockhart continued Percy's words, with a hint of strange emotion in his tone.

"Yes, Professor"

Percy was confused at this time, if there really was a basilisk in Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets.

So how could the three Harrys get out?

It wasn't that Percy looked down on them.

You must know that the basilisk is a magical creature that poses a powerful threat.

At their current age, how could they possibly escape the basilisk's pursuit?

But Lockhart didn't answer Percy's doubts.

Instead, he said something strange to Percy.

"That person is back"
