Chapter 286: 283. Professor Crow

But when it came to the dueling club later, Hermione doubted her guess again.

Because the strength shown by Professor Lockhart is too strong, and Lynn is only a third-year student at Hogwarts even if he is powerful, which means that he has only learned magic for less than three years, how could he be stronger than him? The head of Slytherin is even stronger.

So, Hermione could only find a way to do a closer verification.

Xiaobu wants to become Lynn to replace Lynn in school, so if Professor Lockhart is Lynn. Then she must have kept in touch with Lynn.

Hermione felt that she could use the Polyjuice Potion to turn into Xiao Bu's appearance to test Professor Lockhart's reaction, and Hermione could be 100% sure that Professor Lockhart was pretending to be Lynn!

After discovering Lynn's disguise through step-by-step guesswork and verification, Hermione feels very accomplished now.

She didn't directly expose Lynn's identity in the office just now, because she was afraid of affecting what he was doing now. Hermione knew that Lynn was now looking for the heir of Slytherin hidden in Hogwarts. If he didn't take the initiative to expose Hermione would not expose him until he had given up his identity, or that of Professor Lockhart.

However, Hermione has not forgotten the promise Lynn made to him in the Room of Requirement. If she discovers Lynn's secret by herself, she will be rewarded.

Thinking of this, Hermione's steps became more brisk, and she even couldn't help humming when she went downstairs.

Not long after returning to the bathroom where Myrtle was, the effect of the Polyjuice Potion had passed, and Harry and Ron also ran back from Malfoy.

"Well, it's not a complete waste of time," Ron gasped, turning back to close the bathroom door, "I know we still haven't figured out who carried out these attacks, but I'm writing to my dad tomorrow, calling He's going to search under the Malfoys' living room."

"Hermione, we have something important to tell you." Harry also gasped.

They searched for Hermione in the bathroom, and finally saw Hermione giggling with her chin on her hands on a step.

"We've made a big discovery." Harry and Ron walked up to Hermione.

Hermione looked back at them, her eyes widening.

"Malfoy told you he's a descendant of Slytherin?"

"No, he didn't say it, but he and his father knew something about the Chamber of Secrets, and he told us it had been opened once!" said Harry.

"I'm sure that even if Malfoy didn't do this, it must have something to do with their family." Ron said through gritted teeth. In their conversation with Malfoy just now, the other party used the Weasley family as a joke, if it weren't for Harry Stopping him, Ron almost couldn't hold back and beat Malfoy severely.

"When you just came out of the Slytherin lounge, were you discovered by others?" Hermione was a little worried that they would show their feet when they left.

Harry and Ron said with some uncertainty: "It seems not. We were ready to run out when we found that the effect of the medicine was about to wear off."

Hermione put away the cauldron and the remaining potion ingredients in the bathroom.

"To be on the safe side, let's leave here first and talk about this when we get back to the Gryffindor lounge."

After the Christmas holiday, the little wizards returned to Hogwarts.

Three months passed quickly, and there was not a single attack in the castle during these nearly a hundred days. The heir of Slytherin who opened the secret room seemed to have fallen silent. Lying in the hospital, maybe everyone has already forgotten about it.

But in the eyes of those in the know, this is more like the calm before the storm.

Late at night, on the fifth floor of the Hogwarts castle.

"Hey, George, look what I found." In the night, Fred grabbed a mouse and waved to George excitedly.

Without turning his head, George said, "Could it be that you found the diary that Filch left in the corridor?"

"That's not easy to find," Fred muttered. "Maybe we can sneak into Filch's place and look for it later, but this mouse will be of great use to us."

"Tie a dung bomb to it and use it as a rat bomb? It's not very useful. Any little wizard will have a way to deal with rats."

"The little wizard is fine, but not the cat. We can use this mouse as bait to teach Filch's cat a lesson."

"That's a good idea, let's first think about what kind of punishment the cat should enjoy."

The Weasley twins were chatting and walked up the stairs with the poor mouse in their hands. When they reached the stairs of a tower, they suddenly felt that someone behind them was staring at them.

Fred and George's senses were very keen. They paused for a moment before they turned around and looked behind them!

There was indeed a pair of scarlet eyes staring at them silently behind them, but the Weasley brothers were relieved when they saw these eyes.

"It turned out to be this crow."

"We seem to have seen it many times during the night tour, and it seems to live in Hogwarts."

"It should be the crows in the Forbidden Forest, right? You forgot, the last time we sneaked into the Forbidden Forest, we saw a group of crows inside."

"Okay, it's fate to meet so many times, say hello to it and we're leaving."

The Weasley brothers waved to the crow standing in front of the windowsill, whispered "see you next time" and continued to look for Filch's cat.

Lynn watched them go away, and he was already thinking about what reason to give them homework next time.

Although there has been no attack for a long time, Hogwarts is still in danger if the problem of the Chamber of Secrets is not completely resolved for a day, and the two Weasley brothers are really daring.

But after Christmas, Lynn would come out to watch almost every night, and there would be no major accidents with these two.

According to Lynn's guess, he has been staring at the "suspect" for three months, but he has not found any outrageous behavior from the other party, but this does not mean that his (her) suspicion has been reduced because of this. Ci has been calm for three months, and the doubts on him (her) are getting bigger and bigger.

Especially in the past few days, he stared here almost all night without sleeping.

Because three days ago, Dumbledore told him that the Hogwarts school board was going to hold a board meeting tomorrow.
