About half a month passed like this, and on the second night of the Quidditch match, the second victim appeared.

When he got the news, Locke was practicing spells in the Room of Requirement. It was Dumbledore who arranged for a messenger to inform him to go to the infirmary.

After arriving at the infirmary, I happened to see Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall sitting in front of a hospital bed talking.

When Locke arrived, Dumbledore did not go around in circles and asked directly: "Do you still have mature mandrakes there?"

Professor McGonagall explained on the side: "As you can see, Colin Creevey and Mrs. Norris were petrified."

"Indeed, mandrake has a relatively simple function, and it also has some dangers. Few people will deliberately cultivate and collect it. But since I saw Mrs. Loris who was attacked last time, I specially arranged for people to I bought some spares and thought there’s nothing wrong with having some ready.”

"Your idea is very good." Dumbledore nodded: "You have reminded me that I should prepare some things in advance. However, in recent times, the prices of various magic items and materials have increased significantly. The key is It’s not easy to find the goods yet.”

This is actually the influence of Locke. As he continues to sagalong, he purchases unlimited amounts of various magic materials and items and hoards them. Even many magic materials that were originally in sufficient supply have become scarce. The price of a large number of magic materials They all rose in response.

If these things were piled together in the dimensional space, Locke's limited dimensional space would have been filled to the brim.

Thanks to the magical traceless extension spell, Locke put these materials into boxes that were casted with the permanent traceless extension spell. Most of the boxes with labels of the names of various materials were filled in the dimensional space. a wall.

"It's great that you still have mandrakes on your hands." Professor McGonagall was also very happy: "The mandrakes in the college will not mature until the end of the semester. We can't watch our children like this all the time. Until the end.”

"But the key is what to do next." Locke looked at Dumbledore at this time: "There will definitely be more victims. I don't have that much mandrake on hand now."

After hearing this, Dumbledore looked at Harry who was in another bed and was hospitalized due to an injury in the Quidditch match. He raised his voice and said, "It seems that we can no longer hide it. Let all employees know that it is no longer safe in the academy." Yes, the secret room has been opened again."

After saying this, Dumbledore called Locke to the principal's office and said, "What do you think about this incident?"

"I have also been paying attention to the situation in the academy recently. Even though it is cold outside now, the spiders in the castle are spreading outward, and Mr. Hagrid's rooster has also been mutilated... These situations make me think of the basilisk."

"Basilisk? No wonder." Dumbledore was in the middle of the game, so naturally it was not as good as Locke to write the script. At this time, he was reminded and immediately connected all the situations: "Mr. Locke, you have really helped me a lot. Next I need to make some preparations when I come down!"

Dumbledore then said a few more words to Locke and left the academy through the fireplace in the principal's room.

Locke did not see Dumbledore in the academy until two days later, when Dumbledore invited Locke to the principal's office again. This time Locke noticed that the phoenix named Fox looked sleepy. He seemed to be very weak.

"Fawkes is close to rebirth, but at this time I have to ask him to help." Dumbledore said: "At the same time, I also need your help."

Locke nodded. This was originally his plan. To be honest, he was also interested in Fox. Although the dragons and phoenixes in the Harry Potter world are far from as powerful as the legendary mythical creatures, in magical Among living things, it is still at its peak.

Now Locke has secretly obtained some dragon eggs, which he can cultivate by himself after returning home. But as far as he knows about Phoenix, there is only Fox in the magic world.

Dumbledore had already confirmed that Locke was Voldemort because of his size. He had been preparing for the past few days. In fact, he planned to fish, and of course he was fishing for the Dark Lord.

Knowing that everything was caused by the basilisk, Dumbledore used his master's ability to absorb spiritual thoughts and easily discovered the notebook Horcrux in Ginny Weasley's hand.

At the same time, he also confirmed that this matter was related to the Malfoy family, one of the directors of the college.

There will be a basilisk in the college. In fact, Lucius Malfoy secretly stuffed the notebook, one of Voldemort's Horcruxes, into the hands of Ron's sister Ginny Weasley before the start of school.

Voldemort's remnant soul seduced Ginny, opened the Chamber of Secrets, and released the basilisk. This time, Dumbledore included the Malfoy family who was causing trouble for him.

Lucius Malfoy is a Death Eater. Although he is not a die-hard loyalist of Voldemort and only follows Voldemort for profit, his wealth, status, reputation and influence in the wizarding world are the highest among the Death Eaters. .

In other words, after Voldemort returns, he can provide the greatest help to Voldemort, so it is necessary to suppress the other party.

Through the crisis incident in the college this year, we will seize the opportunity of Lucius Malfoy to force him to give up his seat on the board of directors.

If Lucius Malfoy was not sensible, Dumbledore would reveal his identity as a Death Eater. However, many wizards and wizards in the wizarding world had their relatives harmed by Death Eaters, and there were many who wanted revenge.

Coupled with the wealth accumulated by the Malfoy family from generation to generation, it was previously guaranteed by its own strength and many years of connections, but once it was known that he was a Death Eater, former friends might even become enemies.

At that time, the Malfoy family will become a target and even if the Ministry of Magic does not kill them all, they will decline or even perish under the endless attacks.

So once he got the handle on Lucius Malfoy, the other party would definitely have to give up his identity as school director in accordance with Dumbledore's wishes.

At the same time, Dumbledore also hinted to Locke that if he succeeds, Locke will also have the opportunity to realize his previous wish and be able to replace the Malfoy family as the director of the school. This is actually an exchange of interests with Locke.

Of course, Locke agreed to such a plan without hesitation and expressed his willingness to provide help. His identity as the school director of Hogwarts would bring many conveniences and would also make his actions in the wizarding world smoother.

And who said Lucius gave up his identity as school director, Locke needed to help him hide it.

He only needs to secretly spread some rumors. The effect may not be immediate, but it can slowly shake the foundation of the Malfoy family. Locke also has the opportunity to slowly eat away at the Malfoy family's industry and influence in the wizarding world.

Dumbledore briefly mentioned some of his preparations, and Locke soon joined in. So although Dumbledore was able to take over and deal with the basilisk now, he continued to let it go and even hid it from the professors.

Everyone was kept in the dark, and Lucius Malfoy didn't notice anything strange. Naturally, it was impossible to prepare in advance to break away from the relationship.
