Felix found it hard to understand Professor Lockhart.

He had seen through his true nature - a businessman who sold books by making up stories and self-promotion.

As for his magic skills, they had long been returned to the teacher after graduation.

The writer's routine was to give the protagonist of the story his own name, and shamelessly use the banner of "autobiography" to make money.

This kind of thing is not uncommon in the Muggle world, but the wizarding world is not so open, and to some extent it can even be said to be quite simple. If you say in the book that it is your own adventure, people will choose to believe it - and this is suspected of fraud. Once it is exposed, it will basically end in ruin.

Doesn't he know this himself? If he knows this, why is he still so jumpy? And he performed in front of the most outstanding wizards in the British wizarding world?

To be honest, Felix didn't understand it at all.

He and Lockhart are completely different people.

"Silence." With the arrival of Lockhart, Dumbledore presided over the meeting.

"The second attack happened, just an hour ago, and he was also petrified, just like Mrs. Norris." Dumbledore said with a slightly heavy voice.

"But the nature of this time is completely different. The victim is a young wizard, a first-year student. This means--" His deep blue eyes looked around oppressively, "The Chamber of Secrets has really been opened."

"Hogwarts is facing a crisis!"

All the professors became solemn.

Next, Professor McGonagall told the information about the last time the Chamber of Secrets was opened. She pursed her lips and began to tell that period of history: "The Chamber of Secrets was opened once fifty years ago."

"A student died as a result. Her name was Myrtle Elizabeth Warren. Yes, she still stays in Hogwarts as a ghost on campus."

"However, since then, the Chamber of Secrets has been closed until now--"

"So," Lockhart commented impatiently, "the attack is over? I mean, one student has already been hit, right? I've seen many similar cases, such as the monster in Lake Morgan, which appears every thirty years. Ever since I gave the residents there my homemade amulets, they have never been troubled again..."

Professor McGonagall pursed her lips even tighter, and she said loudly, which was extremely rare: "I must remind you, Professor Lockhart! Colin Creevey was only petrified, he did not lose his life."

Dumbledore followed McGonagall's words and said, "Yes, none of us knows whether the monster will attack again, and whether the consequence will be just petrification. If you have any suggestions, please let me know."

Professor McGonagall said, "I have currently arranged for the prefects to patrol and strictly forbid young wizards to go to remote places. For young wizards in the first and second grades, they must line up for class and try to reduce single action."

"Very good, Minerva." Dumbledore praised.

"Principal Dumbledore," Felix felt it necessary to tell the information he had, "My focus has always been on the Chamber of Secrets. There are three key words surrounding the Chamber of Secrets--"

He glanced at everyone, "Unknown monster, Slytherin's heir, and the location of the Chamber of Secrets."

"As long as we know any one of these points, we can figure out the truth."

Dumbledore put his slender fingers together, as if thinking, "Please continue, Felix."

"Unknown monster, why don't we associate it with Slytherin? The symbol of Slytherin is a snake, and perhaps this monster is also a snake, so the problem of how it appeared in the castle is also solved-with the help of pipes throughout Hogwarts."

Everyone was thoughtful, and Snape spoke, and said in his lukewarm and indifferent tone: "Felix, the symbol of Slytherin may be a snake, but that's only because he is a Parseltongue. If you study him a little, you'll find that he is a master of bloodline research, and the magical bloodlines he studies are beyond your imagination."

"But we can't rule this out, right?"

"Oh! That unknown monster murdered a witch fifty years ago, and fifty years later, all it did was petrify her..." Snape stared at Felix with his stone-cold eyes, "If I understand correctly, Felix, it's not the same monster?"

Felix shook his head, "I can't explain this either, so my opinion can only be used for your reference."

He continued, "There are two possibilities I can think of for the heir of Slytherin. Active and passive."

"Perhaps the heir is sober and knows what he is doing, such as inheriting Slytherin's will and expelling the little wizards from Muggle families. But it is also possible that he accidentally obtained Slytherin's relics and was controlled by it."

Dumbledore raised his head, "Very insightful views, you have expanded our thinking."

He thought, "We have ignored this point in the past. It seems that we need to strengthen the ideological education of students."

Felix's "control theory" attracted a lot of discussion among professors. He waited for a while and continued, "As for the location of the Chamber of Secrets, I have no idea. Perhaps we can ask the portraits and ghosts in the castle?"

After a long silence, an old professor hesitated and said, "I shouldn't have said it, but I think Hogwarts is at a critical period. Any clue is important..."

Felix looked at the old professor. His name was Sylvanus Kettleburn. He was his teacher of Care of Magical Creatures when he was in school, but he was said to have plans to retire.

This professor is famous for his love of researching and taking care of dangerous creatures. He set an unprecedented record and was detained for observation 62 times during his tenure at the school.

Felix commented that it was another version of Hagrid.

At this moment, Kettleburn said: "That child is definitely not a bad person, but if you ask me, if he is like me... he made a mistake because of curiosity." He paused and said a name: "Rubeau Hagrid."

"It's not him, Sylva," Dumbledore said firmly, "I was the school's Transfiguration professor back then. I know he is innocent, but there is no evidence... Under pressure, Principal Dippet fired him."

"This is a serious mistake. We didn't catch the real culprit."

After the meeting, Dumbledore assigned a series of tasks. At present, prevention is the main focus. In addition to daily inspections, young wizards should be urged in class not to trust any nonsense about magic items.

When Felix went out, he saw Lockhart talking to Dumbledore.

The headmaster's expression was very intriguing.
