Dumbledore led the two Aurors with the unconscious Lockhart toward the castle.
It is unknown whether it is an illusion, just as Dumbledore turned around, Andy felt that the old Headmaster seemed to look at himself, and that look seemed to have a different flavour ... yuck! That look was a bit meaningful.
Andy raised his eyebrows.
Got it! It seemed that Dumbledore already knew everything.
But Andy was not panicked in the slightest.
Hiring buffoons like Quirrell and Lockhart to be professors was Dumbledore's fault in the first place. No matter what purpose he had, this kind of action itself was irresponsible to the young wizards.
There was no need to even talk about Andy, let's just talk about the fifth and seventh-year young wizards who had to prepare for their Ordinary Wizarding Level Exam and Nastily Exhausting Wizarding Exam, a one-year delay could potentially affect their test scores.
Thus, indirectly affecting their whole life.
Especially the Nastily Exhausting Wizarding Exam, which was related to the employment of the young wizards.
Andy sometimes had a hard time understanding Dumbledore's behaviour.
"No more fun to watch!" Andy sighed.
Hermione gave Andy a blank look, then asked curiously, "Will Lockhart be put in Azkaban?"
"Of course he will be!"
Andy said, "Since the Ministry of Magic dared to arrest someone as famous as him, it means that they actually found some evidence."
When he said this, Andy also had to marvel at how fast the Ministry of Magic's efficiency was, it was simply astounding.
Andy still remembered the summer holiday a month ago, when the Ministry of Magic launched an operation to search for dark magic items. Before the operation even started, many people had already got the news.
By the time the Ministry of Magic actually launched the operation, Andy was about to go to school.
It could only be said that Fudge is still somewhat competent, just not in the right place.
Hermione gave Andy a 'you know what' look, "If Lockhart had got a couple more years, maybe the two of you would meet up in Azkaban."
Andy smiled smugly at her words, "I'm not afraid! Isn't there still a future Minister of Magic, lobbying me!"
As the words trailed off, Andy stretched comfortably and let out a long yawn.
This semester's shit was finally over.
The Slytherin's chamber of secrets had been found, Lockhart had been driven away, and in the next few days, Andy could concentrate on magic.
At the thought of this, Andy's entire body was much more relaxed.
This is what a carefree and colourful campus life is!
Most importantly, Andy saved a vial of Truth Potion. A high-level magic potion like this might come in handy at some point.
***
In the next period of time, Andy's little life was very comfortable.
Every day, apart from classes and practising magic, he went to the Slytherin chamber to translate books and manuscripts and occasionally went to the Headmaster's office, which was a variation of the Room of Requirement, to copy books and adjust his mood and taste.
On top of that, Andy's grandfather, Norman Collins, had helped Andy find a good channel to sell the Basilisk.
Andy had put half of the Basilisk into a bag with an Undetectable Extension Charm some time ago and sent it to his grandfather's house.
In a little while, Andy would have a large amount of gold Galleons in his account.
During this period of time, everything went well for Andy.
Looking at the increasing red liquid within the system orb, Andy felt the joy of upgrading after a long time, Andy had once thought that this joy could last for the entire school year.
However, things like joy and sorrow often occur when you are most complacent.
Andy seemed to have forgotten that this was the world of Harry Potter. Before Voldemort died, in this land of the British magic world, Harry Potter was the real protagonist.
What does it mean to be the protagonist?
The so-called protagonist is trouble personification. If there is trouble, you have to take part in it. If there is no trouble, you have to create trouble and take part in it.
Gryffindor boys' dormitory.
Harry and Ron gathered together.
"Snape is just insane!"
Ron slammed his Potions textbook down on the desk with a frenzied look on his face, "He deducted a whole twenty points from us in this class!"
Seamus Finnigan grimaced, "Neville got the worst of it, he had to clean up three buckets of toad entrails, and he was not allowed to use magic."
Harry and Ron: Neville can't use many spells either.
Harry was also a little pissed off, but he was thinking about something else at the moment.
Pulling Ron aside, Harry whispered, "Ron, did you see that? Snape seems to be hurt."
"I thought that was an illusion, who can hurt Snape?"
Ron looked surprised at first, then gloated, "I hope he's in enough pain!"
Harry said seriously, "That's the point, Ron! Think about it, who could possibly injure Snape?"
Ron sucked in a breath of cold air.
He thought of a lot of horrible things, it's just that those imaginations were a little off the rails.
"Harry, what did you think of?" Ron asked.
Harry shook his head, "I don't know. But one thing is for sure, Snape wouldn't have got hurt if he had stayed in the castle!"
Ron seemed to think of something as he said with a face full of horror, "Harry, do you think Snape ... could be the Death Eater who attacked Azkaban?"
Harry whispered nonchalantly, "It's been more than ten days since the Azkaban attack, even the Daily Prophet doesn't report those things now."
The hot news right now was the matter of Lockhart conning the wizarding world.
As the Ministry of Magic launched further investigations, all the things that Lockhart had done had been uncovered.
Many of the victims had recovered their memories after treatment, and they were more than happy to come forward to testify against Lockhart.
Under the Ministry of Magic's massive publicity, Lockhart dominated the headlines of the Daily Prophet for more than ten days.
Ron threw his hands up in the air, "So, we don't know anything now?"
Harry looked at Ron with a straight face and said, "Snape may be planning something in secret. Ron, we need to investigate."
Being the Gryffindor cub, Ron was quick to get his heart in the right place.
Investigate Snape's secret plans ...
Could there be any greater adventure than this?
This was Snape!
"Harry, what are we going to do?" Ron asked, in a hurry.
This ...
Well, that's a difficult question for Harry!
When it came to figuring out what to do, Harry could come up with quite a few good ideas. But when it came to figuring out how we were going to do it, Harry was completely out of ideas.
"Maybe we can find some clues in Snape's office."
Harry deliberated, "But night out... Ron, we'll have to find an expert night walker to help us."
Just thinking about their night-out experiences last school year, Harry and Ron were terrified of night out.
It was the last thing they were good at!
"We could go find George and Fred!"
Ron suggested, "They first went nigh out in their first year, and they've never been caught yet."
