Felix got serious: "What happened?"

He even wondered if Ron was discovered by Lockhart and took him straight away.

Lockhart is a grown-up wizard after all, and being a grown-up wizard means he's had seven years of full magical education—even if he's acting ridiculously weak now.

But it does not rule out the possibility that he has delved deeply into a certain branch of magic.

Hermione's words reassured him: "Ron is fine now and hasn't been found out. But Lockhart was acting weird in Friday night's lockdown."

"weird?"

"Yes, Lockhart suddenly jumped up at night and yelled at Rita Skeeter. Ron said that it was something he had never seen before, and his expression was very scary." Hermione repeated Ron's description.

In fact, Ron was almost hysterical.

Lockhart vented for more than ten minutes, warned Ron not to talk about today's affairs, and drove him away.

"Um..." Felix thought, from Lockhart's recent bizarre performance, to his encounter with a flustered Rita Skeeter, and the hatred of Skeeter that Lockhart showed last night... …

On the second day after the Christmas break, Minister Fudge was injured while visiting a basilisk. He accidentally bumped into a panicked Rita Skeeter, who happened to be walking up the castle grounds, which happened to be Lockhart's office. location.

He seemed to draw a line.

It was clear what she had done to Lockhart.

It is possible that the two of them broke down and then started.

Lockhart has a poor memory recently, has an impatient personality, and speaks out of order...

So, is it a sequelae of the Oblivion Curse?

Lockhart under the oblivion curse?

This explains why, more than a week later, Rita Skeeter said nothing about that day in the papers, not even Lockhart's nemesis.

She only hinted that she should not take the rhythm and twist the facts, but this did not affect her troubles with Lockhart.

That's not the woman's style.

"Then Weasley went to detention tonight?" Felix grasped the point.

From Lockhart's performance, he obviously recovered his memory. It's hard to guarantee that nothing will happen if Ron rushes to the door.

"No, he said he had a stomachache and took time off from Professor McGonagall," Hermione said.

Felix nodded, this approach is still very clever.

Whether it was Lockhart's discovery of Ron's theft, or his belief that Ron had seen too many secrets, he might have gone too far.

"I understand what you mean, I will communicate with Professor McGonagall and let me be responsible for the next confinement of Weasley."

"Professor, is this okay?" Hermione asked.

"Of course, the confinement is not mandatory, as long as I come up with a proper reason, for example, I am in desperate need of some little wizards to test my new teaching aids." Felix blinked.

"Some little wizards?" Hermione questioned the word 'some'.

Isn't that the solution to Ron's troubles?

"Yeah, but it can't be too obvious. After all, the investigation will take time. I'm going to bring all the little wizards who have been fined and imprisoned recently."

Felix showed a helpless expression.

"Professor, wouldn't that be the teaching aid you said?" The little witch stared at him.

"Oh, that's what you saw over the Christmas holidays. But you don't say it, I don't say it, who knows it's done?" Felix smiled softly.

Hermione suddenly felt that Professor Hepp was smiling slyly.

When she left, Felix was lost in thought.

Moments later, he wrote his speculation on a piece of parchment, then waved his wand to summon his patron saint, a swift.

"Dumbledore, I think you need to see this."

The little silver swift took the rolled parchment in its mouth and fluttered out of the window.

Felix tapped the table with his fingers leisurely, "Da Da, Da Da." Just a few minutes later, a phoenix covered in golden red feathers suddenly appeared in his room.

In its paws was a small note that read—

"Please give the information to Fox, and leave the rest to me."

Sending Fox off, Felix watched curiously where it disappeared.

Phoenix really deserves to be rated as a top-level magical creature, and all kinds of magical talents make him want to study it very much.

The next morning, Felix found Professor McGonagall.

Professor McGonagall was very supportive when he mentioned that his research on his new teaching aid was at a critical moment and that he needed some help from his students.

"Need me to arrange for Gryffindor students to help?"

"No, give me all the little wizards who are currently in confinement, just let them participate in this process and learn something." Felix put forward his own ideas.

With little effort, Professor McGonagall agreed.

She handed Felix a list. "This is the latest list of students in lockdown. It's all there."

He said goodbye politely and left.

Halfway through a flower bush, Felix met Percy Weasley, who happened to have some impressions of Percy.

"Professor Hepp?" Percy looked at Felix with a guilty conscience, and a girl was following him.

"Mr. Weasley, Miss Clearwater. What are you doing here?"

This place is really remote, and few people usually come here.

"Uh, Professor, Penello and I... Criwatt and I are on tour, exercising prefect powers," Percy said falteringly.

"Can you do me a favor?" Felix looked at the young couple calmly, without breaking it.

"Of course!" Percy replied.

Felix took out the list of students, "Help me notify the prefects of the corresponding colleges with the names on this piece of paper, so that their confinement tonight and later will be changed to my office."

Percy nodded, and the two left as quickly as thieves.

Gryffindor lounge.

Yesterday, Ron had been hiding in the dormitory and pretending to be sick. In order to make the effect more real, he resolutely acted as a test for the twins and ate the enhanced version of 'Ice Rat', his face turned ashen.

The whole person seemed to be buried in the ice and snow for several hours.

As a result, he was really sick, he stayed in the school hospital for one night, and just came back.

Ron, wrapped tightly, sat at a table with Harry and Hermione.

Ron asked in a low voice, "Hermione, did Professor Hep really agree?"

Hermione said helplessly: "You've asked seven times, and the last answer, yes!"

Ron said, "I really don't understand, what the hell happened to Lockhart that night? Behaving like that..." He thought for a moment and said the word, "Insanity."

While 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 over.

Whether it is Lockhart himself or a fan of Lockhart, he finally got rid of it all!

Percy looked at his youngest brother in puzzlement, and wondered if he was frozen by the twins and locked up wherever he went?

Not one day less!
