Felix became serious: "What happened?"
He even suspected that Ron was discovered by Lockhart and taken away directly.
Lockhart was an adult wizard after all, and an adult wizard meant that he had received seven years of complete magic education - even if his performance was ridiculously weak.
But it did not rule out the possibility that he had studied a certain branch of magic very deeply.
Hermione's words put his mind at ease: "Ron is fine now, and he has not been discovered. But in the detention on Friday night, Lockhart behaved very strangely."
"Weird?"
"Yes, Lockhart suddenly jumped up at night and cursed Rita Skeeter. Ron said that he had never seen that look before, and his expression was very scary." Hermione carefully described Ron's description.
In fact, Ron was almost hysterical at the time.
Lockhart vented for more than ten minutes, warned Ron not to tell anyone about what happened today, and drove him away.
"Hmm..." Felix thought, from Lockhart's recent weirdness, to his encounter with the flustered Rita Skeeter, and the hatred Lockhart showed for Skeeter last night...
On the second day after the Christmas holiday, Minister Fudge visited the Basilisk, and he accidentally ran into the flustered Rita Skeeter, who happened to be walking up from the basement of the castle, and that direction happened to be the location of Lockhart's office.
He seemed to have figured out a clue.
It was obvious that she had done something to Lockhart.
It was possible that the two of them had a breakdown in the talks, and then they started fighting.
Lockhart has a poor memory recently, a irritable personality, and speaks incoherently...
So, is it the sequelae of the Oblivion Curse
? Lockhart was hit by the Oblivion Curse?
This explains why, after nearly a week, Rita Skeeter did not mention anything about what happened that day in the newspaper, and even let Lockhart, her mortal enemy, go lightly.
I just hinted that she should not lead the rhythm and distort the facts, but this did not affect her trouble with Lockhart.
This is not the style of that woman.
"So Weasley is in detention tonight?" Felix grasped the point.
From Lockhart's performance, he obviously recovered his memory. If Ron rushed to the door, it would be hard to guarantee that nothing would happen.
"No, he said he had a stomachache and asked Professor McGonagall for leave." Hermione said.
Felix nodded. This approach was still very smart.
Whether Lockhart discovered that Ron had stolen the information or he thought that Ron had seen too many secrets, he might have done something extreme.
"I understand what you mean. I will communicate with Professor McGonagall and let me be responsible for Weasley's next detention."
"Professor, is this okay?" Hermione asked.
"Of course, there is no mandatory regulation on how to implement detention. As long as I give a proper reason, for example, I urgently need some little wizards to test my new teaching aids." Felix blinked.
"Some little wizards?" Hermione had doubts about the word "some".
"Yes, it can't be too obvious. After all, the investigation still needs time. I plan to bring all the little wizards who have been punished with detention recently."
Felix showed a helpless expression.
"Professor, the teaching aids you mentioned are not the ones you mentioned?" The little witch stared at him. "
Oh, it's what you saw during the Christmas holidays. However, if you don't tell me and I don't tell you, who would know that it has been completed?" Felix smiled gently.
Hermione suddenly felt that Professor Hep's smile was very cunning.
After she left, Felix fell into deep thought.
After a moment, he wrote his speculation on a piece of parchment, then waved his wand to summon his patronus - a swift.
"Dumbledore, I think you need to see this."
The small silver swift held the rolled parchment in its mouth and flew out of the window.
Felix tapped the table leisurely with his fingers, "Da Da, Da Da." Just a few minutes later, a phoenix covered with golden and red feathers suddenly appeared in his room.
It held a small note in its claws, which read -
"Please give the information to Fawkes, and leave the rest to me."
After sending Fawkes away, Felix looked curiously at the place where it disappeared.
The phoenix is indeed a 5A-level magical creature. Its various magical talents made him want to study it.
The next morning, Felix found Professor McGonagall.
When he mentioned that his research on new teaching aids was at a critical moment and he needed the help of some students, Professor McGonagall was very supportive.
"Do you need me to arrange for Gryffindor students to help?"
"No, just hand over all the little wizards who are currently in detention to me. It's just right for them to participate in this process and learn something." Felix put forward his idea.
It took almost no effort for Professor McGonagall to agree.
She handed Felix a list, "This is the latest list of students in detention, all of them are on it."
Halfway through, in a bush, Felix met Percy Weasley, and he happened to have some impression of Percy.
"Professor Hep?" Percy looked at Felix with a guilty look, and there was a girl next to him.
"Mr. Weasley, Miss Clearwater. What are you doing?"
This place is really a bit remote, and few people come here usually.
"Um, professor, Penelope... Clearwater and I are on patrol, exercising the authority of the prefects." Percy stammered.
"Can you do me a favor?" Felix looked at the young couple calmly without exposing them.
"Of course!" Percy replied.
Felix took out the student list, "Please inform the corresponding prefects of the names on this paper, and have them change their detention to my office tonight and in the future."
Percy nodded, and the two of them left quickly like thieves.
Gryffindor Common Room.
Yesterday, Ron had been hiding in his dormitory pretending to be sick. In order to make the effect more realistic, he resolutely acted as a test subject for the twins and ate the enhanced version of "Ice Rat". His face turned blue.
The whole person seemed to have been buried in the ice and snow for several hours.
As a result, he was really sick and stayed in the hospital for one night. He just came back from the school hospital.
Ron was wrapped tightly. He sat at a table with Harry and Hermione.
Ron asked in a low voice: "Hermione, did Professor Hepp really agree?"
Hermione said helplessly: "You have asked seven times, and the last answer is yes!"
Ron said: "I really can't figure out what happened to Lockhart that night?"
Just as several people were discussing, Percy walked in.
He came to the trio and passed Professor Hepp's message to Ron.
"Great!"
Ron jumped up excitedly, and his troubles were gone.
Whether it was Lockhart himself or Lockhart's fans, he finally got rid of them all!
Percy looked at his youngest brother in confusion, wondering if he was frozen silly by the twins. Wasn't he detained wherever he went?
It wasn't like he would miss a day!
