After a night of inspection, all possible locations in Hogwarts that could be inspected had been inspected, including the student dormitories of the four colleges, just in case any student's room was connected to a secret room.
But when daylight came, Regulus Black could see from Dumbledore's tired face that he had found nothing.
All the students were allowed to go back to their dormitories to wash up. The children who had slept much better than the professors immediately left in droves because they looked so unattractive after getting up.
"What's going on with these guys? Are they staying in bed?"
Dumbledore looked at the 30 or so people on the ground who were still awake, or in other words, they were in a coma.
"Oh! This is my responsibility, the curse will stop!"
Regulus Black swept the targets with another wave of his wand, and each of the 30 or so unconscious students woke up.
"Go back to your respective colleges and wash up."
When Snape saw that there were Slytherin students inside, his expression suddenly dropped. Although he didn't know why Regulus Black punished them, Snape still believed that Regulus Black Doing this is a fair expression, but if students from his own college are also punished, it really makes him look bad.
None of the 30 students dared to confront him, and they all ran back to their dormitories in despair.
"What mistake did they make that warrants being 'fainted'!"
If Snape felt that it was embarrassing for his students to be punished, then Gryffindor students accounted for more than half of them, and Professor McGonagall's face was even more ugly.
"Professor McGonagall! I have no intention of punishing any students. I just want them to have a better rest."
Regulus Black was once a student of Professor McGonagall, and he still respected the Transfiguration professor very much.
"Then why use magic spells on students? It is very inappropriate for a teacher to do so."
Regulus Black's tone made Professor McGonagall understand that this is indeed not a punishment, but it is indeed not good to do so. It is similar to the corporal punishment of students by teachers in the Muggle world. Muggles who care about human rights may complain to schools and education Bureau!
"Let Professor Gilderoy Lockhart explain the cause of this matter!"
Regulus Black grabbed a certain professor who was about to run away, and then pulled him in front of him. He patted his shoulders heavily with both hands. You must be brave enough! The soul is weak.
Snape showed an expression that was indeed true. If it weren't for the instigation of this flamboyant golden chicken, perhaps the students in his college would not be involved in this matter.
Even Professor McGonagall looked like she was waiting for Gilderoy Lockhart to explain. After all, her college had more people.
"Aha! It's like this. I saw that everyone couldn't sleep at night, so I suggested getting up and doing some activities. Before the details were announced, Mr. Black called the students to sign up, and then... he made all the students who signed up fall asleep. Past."
Gilderoy Lockhart's explanation was somewhat embarrassing. His words did not lie. Seeing that Regulus Black behind him did not refute him, he knew that the whole process should be like this.
Snape showed a sneer. Sure enough, if this idiot hadn't come up with random ideas, how could Regulus Black be so ruthless? If a small group of students started to make trouble, how could other students rest? Participate or not? Can the professor present stabilize the situation after everyone gets excited
Sure enough, Regulus Black's judgment was correct. Only by eliminating the source of the trouble from the beginning could all the students sleep obediently.
Regulus Black patted Gilderoy Lockhart on the shoulders again. Well done. Look after you!
Then he left the hall with Snape, leaving Gilderoy Lockhart alone under the scrutiny of Professor McGonagall.
"Professor Gilderoy Lockhart! I also think your idea may be well-intentioned, but it will seriously interfere with the students' rest. Today is not a rest day. They still have their studies to complete."
Professor McGonagall even called out her full name, which showed that she was indeed very angry.
Dumbledore comforted Professor McGonagall softly beside him, and even the old man had an idea. Although since Voldemort cursed the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts, every Defense Against the Dark Arts professor has not been able to hold the post for a long time. He was forced to resign for one reason or another, but after all, it was just an extra useless position. Just recruit new people to fill it every year. When Voldemort was completely dead, this curse would naturally be broken.
However, when the Chamber of Secrets might be opened and all the students gathered in the hall, Gilderoy Lockhart was still able to cause trouble...
A sigh is not enough to express Dumbledore's mood at this time. The principal is also responsible for finishing. The sleeping bags and tables and chairs on the floor have to be packed up. After the students have washed up, it is time to come over for breakfast.
Through what happened that night, Regulus Black's way of doing things was spread home by many students. Of course, many students in the letter complained that the teacher was corporally punishing them, but more students and their families , all regarded this incident as an opportunity to get to know Regulus Black.
He is very clear about the essence of things. He is never sloppy in doing things, he is decisive and ruthless in his actions, and his magic skills are extremely high. He can hit more than 30 people at the same time, which is good. The students who have finished washing up also saw the subsequent spells. The same spell was solved by more than 30 people at the same time. Curse, this strength and method of doing things all reflect a person's sophistication and ruthlessness.
Yes, the most common experience students have about Regulus Black is that this assistant teacher is very cold.
However, some smart students noticed that Regulus Black only targeted those students who raised their hands. The students who followed whispered that he had no restrictions at all, and he also let the eight male and female prefects take turns to rest. But he kept patrolling until dawn.
As for Gilderoy Lockhart, he fell asleep several times, and his sleeping condition was poor. Even in his sleep, he talked in his sleep about how he was taking risks.
In fact, it doesn't matter whether Regulus Black sleeps or not. The price of being resurrected as an Inferi is just this... unlimited energy.
Returning to the Room of Requirement, Regulus Black also took a shower and appeared in the hall in high spirits.
Many students who had come to have breakfast greeted him one after another, but Regulus Black only nodded lightly in response.
"Don't you think Assistant Blake is cool?"
A girl exclaimed, and then received unanimous approval, including the boys.
"I hope I can also learn to have such a temperament. It's so stylish."
A certain boy put forward such an expectation and was unanimously rejected.
"You'd better forget it! Because you don't look good, and no matter how cold you are, you'll be even less likable."
This sentence was unanimously recognized by other boys and girls.
The little blond boy Klin suddenly jumped out from the side. He raised his hand and there was a continuous flash of flash lights, which Regulus Black heard at least a dozen times.
"Regulus! You are very popular today!"
Professor Flitwick looked very happy. He was always cheerful. Seeing that the students liked Regulus Black so much, he was also happy for him. No matter who is popular with the students, he is a good teacher!
"Thank you! I hope this is not a reverse reaction to their fear."
Regulus Black sat down. Several professors were not here today. After all, not everyone could stay up all night and search all over the academy without getting tired. However, I believe that this does not include Professor Flitwick. Likewise, This does not include Snape and Madam Pomfrey of the medical service. After all, those who have potions to drink and time controllers are much more advantageous.
"How did the search go last night?"
Regulus Black asked Snape as soon as he sat down. After all, some concern was necessary.
"This is the stupidest and most necessary thing to do. The key is that there is no result."
Snape cut the steak on the plate viciously, as if it were the monster in the Chamber of Secrets.
