Chapter 128 Loila Fulfilling Her Responsibilities
Loila has been quite annoyed these past few days, or rather, quite worried.
The reason is simple—Gierod Lockhart, another professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts.
He changed his previous habit of avoiding Loila, and instead started to intercept her every day, only when Loila had class—
I'll inevitably run into him after class.
"Miss Hamilton, are you free lately?"
"Miss Hamilton, I have something I'd like to discuss with you privately."
"Miss Hamilton—"
"Ah!" Loila suddenly woke up from her office desk, and the smile she had just dreamt of seemed to flash before her eyes.
That's terrifying—that's terrifying!
What is Mr. Lockhart trying to do?! Loira felt completely lost about Mr. Lockhart's thoughts. She always refused—why was he inviting her again?!
Loila pulled her hood tighter and shivered slightly.
"Coo coo?" Fortunately, at this moment, Sia flapped its wings and landed next to Loila. It nudged Loila with its head, which reassured her a little.
Alright—alright! Calm down, Loila!
You still have a mission tonight—how can you continue to be so afraid? You bear the important responsibility of finding Mr. Riddle!
That's right, tonight is the night patrol time that Professor McGonagall arranged for Loyra. This not only means that she has finally fulfilled her duties as a Hogwarts professor, but also that she has another opportunity to investigate.
And they investigated with utmost audacity!
Moreover, Royla wasn't entirely unprepared these past few days. Besides continuing to decipher the magic array's cipher and replying to her students, Royla also took the time to borrow a book from the library.
The book "Hogwarts: A History of the School" contains a very detailed map of Hogwarts, which Loila has memorized completely.
That should solve the problem, right?
Having solved the problems of sneaking around and getting lost, Loila felt she could investigate all the student dormitories today.
She pursed her lips and glanced at the clock—perfect timing, it was almost time for her night patrol.
At ten o'clock in the evening at Hogwarts, when even the young wizards were already asleep, Loila walked out of the office wearing the hat given to her by Mr. Lupin.
Even though there was a possibility that students might see them, Loila still hoped to have friends with her on nights like this.
Even things can be included—
Hogwarts nights are terrifying! Mainly because the ghosts don't sleep—
"Eek!" Loila shuddered as she watched Sir Nick, who was nearly headless, float past her.
"Good evening, Professor Hamilton." He greeted her as he floated past Loila, then flew upstairs to her somewhat frightened gaze.
It's really—really scary—and talking to them gives you a chill—but Sir Nick is one of the less frightening ghosts.
There was a ghost named Pee-Pee ...
She almost couldn't resist using the Killing Curse on the ghost, though it seemed to have no effect.
However, after that, it seems that Pikachu stopped teasing Loila, which is probably a good thing.
Loila pursed her lips and arrived at the central courtyard of Hogwarts, intending to make her way to the Astronomy Tower, where the Ravenclaw common room was located.
It's said that you need to answer questions to enter the Ravenclaw common room—maybe another form of magic lock?
Luna said it sounded interesting—so I'll try my best to enter the lounge without breaking the magic circle.
As she was walking, Loila suddenly heard footsteps. She instinctively lowered her head and gripped her wand tightly.
who is it?
But as the sound drew closer, Loila breathed a sigh of relief—it was Professor McGonagall's footsteps.
"Good evening, Professor Hamilton." McGonagall nodded slightly to Loila and said, "It's good to see you've already started working."
'
"Good evening—good evening, Professor McGonagall." Loila quickly greeted her as well.
"But it's very dark at Hogwarts at night, perhaps you should light a lantern?" McGonagall said, raising her right hand slightly as if to hand the lantern to Loila.
"No—no need." Loila quickly waved her hand, carefully declining Professor McGonagall's offer. She wasn't just there to patrol the night; she also had the important task of finding Mr. Riddle.
Besides, carrying a lantern would be too conspicuous—Loila didn't want to be noticed—even though there weren't many people at Hogwarts late at night.
"Alright then." Seeing this, McGonagall didn't press the matter. She seemed to have thought of something and suddenly lowered her voice: "Professor Hamilton, I have some questions for you."
"Ah—what—what is it?" Loila was frightened when she heard this, which made her subconsciously reflect on whether she had done something wrong again.
"This might be a bit personal, but it's okay if you don't want to answer." McGonagall approached Loila and bowed slightly.
What do you think of Mr. Lockhart?
Lockhart—Sir?!
Loila immediately remembered that slightly frightening smiling face!
Her face paled at the mention of the name, but she still managed to say, "He—he is an excellent professor."
"—" McGonagall fell silent upon hearing this. Her gaze towards Loila was quite complex, but in the end, she pursed her lips and said, "What I mean is—about him as a person—"
"A person?" Loila was stunned, her face, which looked even paler under the lantern, was filled with confusion.
What does it mean to have an opinion about him as a person?
Hmm—Mr. Lockhart is quite impressive, much more so than me—this was the only thought Royla could come up with.
"Is that so—" After hearing Loira's answer, McGonagall nodded gently and gave a relieved smile: "That's good."
What do you mean "that's fine"? How strange! McGonagall, holding the lantern, said, "Then there's nothing else."
"Also, don't stay out too late." Then her figure gradually disappeared into the courtyard, leaving only her final words of advice: "Most students won't be out after midnight—"
"I think I'll go and rest around that time."
"Hmm—hmm." Loila nodded slightly in the direction she disappeared, then quickened her pace.
Okay, let's stop thinking about these strange things.
She's also planning to explore several lounges today!
As expected of someone who had memorized the map, Loila felt as if she had Merlin's help today, and she found the Ravenclaw House common room in no time.
It was a large door with an eagle-shaped bronze door knocker. Loila tried her best not to look at the location where the answer appeared on the magic lock array, but instead stood at the door and coughed lightly.
Luna said that this should allow the door to ask questions—of course, Loila could use the notebook cover to check if the diary was inside from outside the door.
But Luna said the questions were interesting, so we should give it a try, right? And Loila was actually quite curious about what Luna's lounge looked like.
"Excuse me—is there anything that can glow continuously without being infused with magic?"
Ah!
I know the answer to this question! I didn't expect it to be so simple!
Loila exclaimed happily, "It's an energy storage magic circle! Because it draws magic power from itself, it emits a pale blue light when activated!"
"Incorrect answer."
"Why?"
