A new black and red dotted line appeared above everyone's heads. After studying it for a while, he realized that red represented anger and black represented fear.

Black and red represent the emotions of fear and anger.

Nearby portraits also featured Lockhart in black and red, and he even saw a colorful blob outside the castle as he passed a window.

Even if he is hidden in the dark, the Golden Eye Curse's unique perspective can still highlight and mark him.

Not only Lockhart, but Dumbledore, who was standing in the castle corridor using the Confusion Charm and the Disillusionment Charm, saw it all.

Jimmy is now pretending not to see anything, and even feels a little amused by these two brilliant but foolish individuals.

With the enemy in the open and us in the dark, what is there to fear?!

Back in his Gryffindor dorm, Jimmy said goodbye to Hermione as usual and headed straight for the bathroom.

Because he was preoccupied with other things, his single-minded thinking failed to notice the strange looks he was getting from others.

The more Jimmy acted as usual, the more suspicious Hermione became, and even Harry, who was rather oblivious to social cues, noticed Jimmy's unusual behavior.

After Jimmy went upstairs, they gathered in a corner of the common room and began to discuss their next move.

“We don’t know when Jimmy will leave the dorm, but it will definitely be in the middle of the night. Harry, Ron, Neville, you take turns resting and observe when Jimmy gets up. Also, take this with you!”

Hermione pulled a small portrait from the middle of the books she was holding. It had been cut from the third floor of the castle and originally depicted an unnamed person, but now the frame was occupied by a knight.

"Sir Cadogan?" Harry and the others were all surprised, not expecting Hermione to bring Sir Cadogan along!

The portrait communication was really useful. Hermione was worried that Harry, Meghan and the others would fall asleep, so she specially brought Sir Cadogan along to watch over Jimmy.

"Leave it to me!" Sir Cadogan in the portrait gave the group a knightly salute. "I will reveal myself in the glory of a knight, and I will surely awaken you!"

Ron said, "I don't need to be woken up."

“I’m not so sure.” Of the three, Hermione was the least trusting of Ron’s assurances. “Keep Sir Cadogan out of sight of Jimmy’s bed, and hide him well. If you fall asleep, Sir Cadogan can wake you up.”

Ron was very unhappy with Hermione's suspicions and couldn't help but ask, "What if you're asleep? Who can wake you up?"

Hermione was prepared for this, and she took out another portrait. "Sir Cadogan will wake you up and then wake me up, but I guess Jimmy will leave after no one is in the common room, around midnight, so I only slept until midnight."

“Okay, we’ll do as you say.” Neville felt that Hermione’s meticulous plan was impressive, as if she were very professional.

Harry nodded. He didn't have any ideas anyway, so he decided to listen to Hermione.

Hermione shoved Sir Cadogan's portrait into Harry's hands and urged, "Alright, you two hurry back and get things set up, before Jimmy finds out."

Harry, his two friends hid the portrait and returned to their dormitory, only to find Jimmy still in the bathroom.

The three of them then secretly hid the portrait on Harry's bedside, covering it loosely with a blanket, leaving only a small gap so that Sir Cadogan could observe the outside world.

Meanwhile, in the bathroom, Jimmy was explaining the follow-up plans to Dobby.

"When I call your name, can you take Hagrid and the professor directly to the girls' restroom on the second floor, and then bring me back to my dorm?"

Dobby will try his best!

“It’s simple, I believe you can do it! Harry Potter is in danger right now, and the castle will never be safe until Gilderoy Lockhart is dealt with.”

To keep Dobby from messing up, Jimmy even used Harry Potter to provoke him.

Dobby's expression changed upon hearing about Harry Potter, and he said more solemnly, "Dobby will not let Harry Potter be in danger!"

"Go and prepare first. If necessary, bring the Aurors along as well."

After Dobby left, Jimmy also came out of the bathroom.

Harry, Seymour, and Seamus were playing cards in the open space, while Dean and Thomas were playing games next door. Jimmy greeted the three of them and then went to bed, falling asleep soon after.

Harry, his two friends, and Seamus exchanged glances while playing cards. After finishing a round, they lay down on the bed, closed their eyes, and went to sleep. When Seamus returned later, he looked at the four of them lying on the bed as if he had seen a ghost.

"It's only 7:30 now! That's strange..."

Ximo muttered as he went into the bathroom, and when he came out, no one was playing with him, so he went to bed to sleep.

Around one o'clock in the morning, Jimmy opened his eyes. He had made himself an alchemical alarm clock.

The alarm clock is voice-controlled, and its appearance is just an ordinary wristband.

Wearing it on your wrist will automatically release a revival spell at the set time, instantly clearing your mind.

After quietly getting up, Jimmy skillfully picked up his wand.

This scene was witnessed by Sir Cadogan, and then, to his astonishment, four beams of red light shot out, striking all four sleeping people on the bed with a stun spell.

Jimmy was unaware that Sir Cadogan had witnessed everything he had done; Sir Cadogan was so shocked that he turned and fled from the picture frame to run next door to call for help.

The four people on the bed were under a spell that had put them into a coma, and they could not be woken up until the spell was broken or the time was up.

Jimmy went downstairs, but instead of going out, he looked out from a small window in the common room.

The Golden Eyes Mantra allowed him to see the white light emanating from the Dementors floating in mid-air outside the window. Those dark things emitted a white light without any other color.

This shows that they are very simple-minded and only eat people.

Jimmy didn't see Lockhart's colorful light from the pitch black outside. He walked to the door of the common room, cast an illusion spell on himself, and then swaggered out of Gryffindor's common room.

After the common room door closed again, Hermione, who had changed into casual clothes, carefully walked down the spiral staircase and went straight to the boys' dormitory.

Hermione went to Jimmy's dormitory, took out her wand, and lifted the stun spell on Harry, Meghan, and the others, waking them up from their coma.

“When Sir Cadogan told me, I couldn’t believe it. Jimmy used a Stunning Charm on the four of you just for a night stroll! How could he do that!”

Ron, who was still a little confused, widened his eyes upon hearing this. "So that's how it is. No wonder I slept so well for the past few days."

Harry and Neville stared at him speechlessly.

“I sent Sir Cadogan to track Jimmy, but Jimmy used a Disillusionment Charm before leaving home, and Sir Cadogan can’t find him now. We need to think of something.”

Hermione had many complaints about Jimmy's behavior, mainly because Jimmy didn't follow the rules. The perfect plan she had imagined failed because of Jimmy's lack of cooperation.

They don't even know where Jimmy went, so what should they do next?

Chapter 159 The Resourceful Blaine

"We can use an invisibility cloak to hide in the girls' restroom on the second floor. If Jimmy doesn't show up by daytime, we'll go back."

Harry came up with an idea, and it was quite constructive.

Even Hermione thought it was very feasible, "If we can't find Jimmy, this is the only option..."

No one else had any objections.

Harry took out the Invisibility Cloak, one of the Deathly Hallows, from the drawer, gathered the people together, put it on, and walked outside. However, the Invisibility Cloak couldn't cover four people, and their feet were exposed.

The doors to Gryffindor's common room were wide open again, and several severed legs walked down the dark corridor. If this weren't the magical world, this scene would surely terrify many people.

Meanwhile, Jimmy, having left the Gryffindor common room, swaggered around the school, which should have been under martial law. There wasn't a single professor there, and Filch, who was known for catching night owls, was even less likely to show his face.

Or maybe they are, but they're playing hide-and-seek and they're all hiding.

Even if Jimmy were to wail and scream here, he probably wouldn't care; he's that confident.

Jimmy, however, kept his Golden Eyes spell active and discovered that all the portraits nearby were staring at him. The portraits in the corners, thinking they wouldn't be discovered, had their figures quietly replaced with Lockhart's.

Various Lockhart figures, large and small, are hidden in every corner of the portrait, staring intently at Jimmy, which inexplicably annoys Jimmy.

Being watched like that is not a pleasant feeling, especially when it's a grown man watching him.

Here's a regional joke: What's needed to lure Lockhart into the secret room?

A: Little boy.

Because Lockhart was British.

Jimmy lured the enemy out of the castle, carefully surveyed his surroundings, and after confirming Lockhart was not there, headed straight for the Owl Hut.

A faint candlelight still shone in the owl hut, where a group of owls trained by wizards to be active during the day and rest at night were all asleep.

Upon hearing the noise and noticing someone entering, the owls immediately awakened their instincts, opened their green-glowing eyes, and turned their heads 180 degrees to look at him.

Jimmy walked inside skillfully, picked up an owl at random, placed it next to the table, took out paper and pen, wrote a note, stuffed it into the owl's beak, and then released the owl back into the wild.

The whole sequence of movements was fluid and seamless. Only after finishing did he run to the corner and pull out the massive rocket.

He slipped another small note into the rocket's claw and whispered, "When I get out, count to 50 silently and then go find Hagrid. Once you find him, give him the note!"

Rocket blinked his big, green eyes and raised his hand in salute.

Having finished his explanation, Jimmy walked to the small door of the owl hut, poked his head out and looked around. In the pitch-black darkness, he suddenly saw a colorful halo emerging from the edge of the Forbidden Forest not far away.

coming!

Lockhart the cricket would be easily defeated by him!

Using a young boy to seduce a British man was indeed successful!

Pretending not to see anything, Jimmy quietly ran towards the castle, occasionally glancing back when turning a corner.

Lockhart was getting closer, but the closer he got to the castle, the more he hesitated in his actions.

That won't do!

If Lockhart is afraid to get close and pursue the professor because he's all fishing, how can the plan be carried out?

Jimmy had an idea. Before entering the castle, he turned back and stared in Lockhart's direction, then shouted, "Lockhart!"

He shouted and ran, betting that Lockhart would chase after him in his haste.

As I stepped onto the stairs to the second floor, I indeed heard heavy footsteps behind me.

Lockhart knew he had been discovered, and upon hearing that familiar voice, he immediately gave chase, his anger instantly filling him.

Boom boom boom!

The heavy footsteps sounded like hammer blows on the dull ground. Jimmy, climbing the stairs, felt the vibrations and felt a little nervous. Lockhart was much faster than he had expected.

To make the performance more realistic, Jimmy pulled out his wand, turned around and threw a piece of paper, transforming it into a giant stone slab.

Lockhart has entered the castle!!!

He even shouted at the top of his lungs to create some tension for Lockhart. He waited for a moment at the corner on the second floor, and if Lockhart didn't break through the stone slab and chase after him, he would shout something different.

Bang!

The stone slab shattered from the sudden impact. Jimmy only saw a bull-like figure crash through the slab and charge towards him. He ducked into the corridor, and the figure slammed straight into the wall opposite the stairwell.

"Jimmy..."
