Chapter 173 The Wronged Astoria, Tom’S Final Destination
Wayne fooled Lockhart easily.
But he discovered that Lockhart really felt that Wayne had taken advantage of him by working with him.
This person always has a mysterious confidence, as if he thinks that he did all the things written in the book.
Otherwise, why would a liar have such confidence to continue his deception right under Dumbledore's nose?
Even when he walked out of the office, Wayne was still amazed by the diversity of species.
but
The young man narrowed his eyes.
Having just seen that the cooperation could not be negotiated, Lockhart changed his strategy again and became familiar with him like an old friend. He kept asking about how Wayne met Thunderbird and his experience of receiving the Order of Merlin.
In the books he wrote before, he also relied on this method to extract details from the people involved, and finally used the forgetting spell to make a sneak attack and turn the things into his own.
He actually targeted the kind little badger... Lockhart is so heartless -.
Time has entered December, and the students' hearts have gradually become wild.
There are no midterm exams at Hogwarts, and professors’ in-class quizzes are very rare. There is no pressure from exams. After studying for several months, everyone is looking forward to the Christmas holiday.
case.
In order to stop this impetuous trend, many professors had to use their own methods to 'suppress' the little wizard.
In Potions class.
"Potter, you can't even cook the simplest painkiller, what else can you do?" Snape looked at Harry coldly, deducting five points from Gryffindor.
When he saw Harry and then looked at Harry, the comparison between the two made Snape's mood even more irritable.
"Next class, you'd better take the medicine before coming to class." Snape placed the potion in front of Harry.
"Professor." Harry, who was still angry at first, changed his expression and said, "Professor McGonagall has classified sex-transfer potions as contraband, and points will be deducted."
"You are an exception." Snape said calmly: "I really couldn't stand your stupidity in Potions class, so I specially applied for a bottle for you."
"Potter, you should thank Professor McGonagall for the privilege."
Harry was speechless.
Although becoming Harry made him feel much more comfortable in Potions class, the weird looks from his classmates usually made him very uncomfortable.
Anyway, it's him who suffers.
Snape didn't care so much. He knew that Harry was not Lily, but he was satisfied that he could at least see her shadow.
In the Transfiguration class, Professor McGonagall doubled the number of homework assignments in order to increase everyone's enthusiasm for learning, and also assigned Christmas homework in advance.
Except for Hermione, no one would be happy about this, and most students still wished that the first time they heard the homework content was the night before school started.
Only the Charms class was still so enjoyable.
Professor Flitwick gave each little wizard a box of bells and asked them to hang the bells on the Christmas tree using a combination of floating spells and sticking spells.
Some people hang them crookedly, or even string the bells into necklaces, but they are still smiling.
"What are the plans for this holiday? Mom asked us to invite you."
Before the Duel Club began, the Weasley twins found Wayne.
"Are you going back to the Burrow this year?"
"Well, my parents went to see Charlie last year, but Bill was too far away, so they didn't go out.
"We all have to go back."
Harry's expression darkened when he heard that the Weasleys were going back.
Although the Dursleys were treating him fairly well now, Harry still chose to stay in school, at least his magic would not be restricted.
Last year Ronald and Gemini were with him, but this year he is really alone.
"I may not have time to go to the Burrow." Wayne shook his head: "Remember to send your birthday present.
The twins raised their middle fingers together. This gesture was something they learned from Harry. It is not an action for swearing in the wizarding world. It is a traditional swearing action. Those sticks may directly break the defense after seeing it.
The time came to eight o'clock, and students entered the auditorium one after another.
With the experience last time, Lockhart was obviously much more comfortable today and divided the students into groups one by one.
"Severus, you are responsible for the specific safety."
Yes, Lockhart's ability was to push Snape out as a tool. He said that as the organizer, he only needed to control the overall situation.
These two people also belong to the category where one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer.
At least during this time, Snape could experience the joy of being a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.
Wayne was sitting alone in the audience. No one in the school wanted to team up with him. Everyone was here to duel, not to be beaten.
"Hello, my name is Astoria Greengrass."
"Hello, I'm Luna Lovegood."
Luna responded lightly. Today's Rich Loli was driven away by Wayne, but she was unexpectedly placed in a group with Luna.
Both of them are freshmen, but they have never interacted with each other.
Feeling Wayne's gaze, Luna turned her head and blinked in response.
"Astoria." Wayne smiled: "If you lose to Luna, you won't have a big meal next week."
Fu Loli pouted: "How could this be?"
"If you lose, doesn't it mean that my teaching level is not good enough? Can I give you a reward?" Wayne didn't care about her pitiful appearance and continued to act as a school bully.
Astoria had no choice but to slowly raise her wand and remind Luna: "Please be careful, I, I have to be serious."
"Okay." Luna was still distracted.
As Lockhart finished counting down, Astoria shouted in a childish voice:
"Flipendo! (Quickly repel)"
The blue spell passed in front of Luna, but unfortunately it missed. Astoria was a little disappointed, but immediately prepared to cast the second spell.
As a foodie, Wayne's threats are effective.
But what surprised her was that after being stunned for a second, Luna suddenly fell to the ground and the wand came out of her hand.
"Oh, you win."
Could it be that the spell just hit it, but it was just delayed in taking effect?
Astoria immediately denied the idea. When she saw Luna nuzzling at Wayne, she immediately understood and smiled.
"Wayne, I win."
Wayne:"#
Do these two girls take him for a fool?
With such poor acting skills, not even Cuthbert Binns would be fooled!
Astoria quickly ran over and helped Luna up. After thanking her quietly, she led the others to Wayne, looking extremely proud.
"No matter what, I win."
"That's right." Luna also supported: "You just didn't say what the specific requirements for winning are."
They were two girls who had just met, but they had a perfect understanding at this moment.
"Is this the wisdom of Ravenclaw?" Wayne looked at the erratic girl.
"A little application."
"Okay, you win." Wayne shrugged, and Astoria immediately smiled and gave Luna a hug.
But upon hearing Wayne's next words, the smile on Fu Loli's face immediately froze.
"I won't deprive you of your feast, and you won't be able to eat it. After the weekend, it's Christmas vacation.
"You, you bully people!" Astoria burst into tears immediately.
Luna didn't think about the holiday either, so she could only pat Astoria's back gently to express comfort, and rolled her eyes at Wayne.
It seems to be saying, I didn't expect you to be such a person.
On the other side, Hermione defeated two opponents very easily.
After being trained by the virtual brain computer, her mentality is much better than before, and she can calmly avoid and respond to the enemy's spells.
"Potter, do you only know how to hide?"
Malfoy's cry could be heard from far away: "You have the ability to fight me one-on-one with a man!"
Harry was so angry that he gritted his teeth. Please remove the iron armor spell from your body!
What a skill it is to use props!
"You are still shameless." Harry replied: "Prodigal son, are the protective equipment used now?"
After saying that, he quickly lowered his head to avoid the attack of a spell.
Hearing his words, Malfoy was not ashamed, but proudly puffed out his chest: "Having money is also a kind of strength. I won't let you use it, right?"
"Oh, I'm sorry. With your legacy, I shouldn't support you in doing this, right?"
This sentence clearly hit Harry's nerves. He directly used Toby as a human shield and resisted Malfoy's two attacks, taking the opportunity to break the armor curse's defense.
Then Harry pounced forward, and the two started fighting hand to hand.
It wasn't until the end of the dueling club that Harry took his hands out of Malfoy's mouth, and Malfoy also retracted his hands from holding Harry's thighs.
"On Christmas, just be the unwanted bastard in school!" Malfoy said harshly and walked out of the auditorium.
On the way back to the lounge, Malfoy suddenly remembered that Lucius Malfoy sent a letter yesterday, saying that he had important matters to deal with during the holiday and asked him to stay in school.
In order not to leave him alone, Crabbe and Goyle will also stay.
"Damn..."
Malfoy's expression was gloomy. He felt uncomfortable when he thought that there were only a few people in the school who had to see Harry every day.
Suddenly, a bold idea emerged in my heart.
If Harry becomes Harry... at least it will look more comfortable, right?
In the Forbidden Forest, Wayne takes Penello for a walk on the deep road.
He handed the suitcase to Penello.
"While I'm away from school, you will be responsible for keeping the suitcase."
"Why?" Penello asked doubtfully, "Can't you take it home?"
It's safer to stay in school. "Wayne shook his head: "Hestia and the others are inside, plus Gardevoir and Phoenix King, they can protect you if you encounter any danger. "
Among the girls, Hermione was the first one Wayne eliminated.
The little witch is still a bit impatient and looks smart like a Ravenclaw, but at heart she is still as reckless as a Gryffindor.
Secondly, it is autumn, and autumn’s temperament is a bit soft.
If possible, Wayne doesn't want her to bear too much pressure and just needs to be a quiet beautiful girl.
Only Penelo is much more mature than the two of them and will not panic when things happen.
The most important thing is that Penelo needs to be more realistic and rational.
Wayne was most at ease when the suitcase was placed with her.
"This thing is too valuable..." Penello clearly sensed that Wayne was hiding something, but had no intention of asking further.
0…………Please give me flowers……0
It's just that she is still a little nervous when such a treasure is placed in her hands.
"Don't worry, with Gardevoir here, it will be difficult to lose it even if you want to." Wayne smiled and said:
"Your usual task is to go in and reconcile with Gardevoir from time to time. You can also tell her what happens in the school.
"By the way, don't be surprised no matter what you see in the box."
Penello looked up.
Why was Wayne so sure that something was going to happen at school?
Understand the girl's eyes
Confused, Wayne whispered: "You haven't forgotten the curse of Defense Against the Dark Arts, have you?"
"You mean, there's something wrong with Lockhart?"
Penello was reminded of Quirrell last semester.
"Almost, after such a long time, you should have seen clearly the true level of this person.
The girl nodded silently.
Lockhart is completely different from the heroic character described in his book. He is a piece of shit.
Wayne raised his head, bathing in the bright moonlight falling from the sky. .
In fact, he hesitated for a while as to what to do with Tom Riddle's diary.
In the end, it was decided to let Tom live.
Especially after the last lottery, this idea became even more intense.
At Wayne's current stage, ordinary golden rewards can no longer satisfy his appetite.
Even the two rewards of Glacier Amplification and Ultimate Flash only strengthen a certain aspect of his abilities and cannot break through the upper limit.
His two most powerful talents were obtained through critical strike rewards from major events.
A storm gathers, a Thunder Lord decrees.
The SS level is powerful enough, but it is still not enough. There are SSS level legends, demigods that exceed the limit, and even god levels.

If you want to go further, you must create some big events and big news.
So... what could be more suitable than resurrecting the Dark Lord?
The diary is very special. As long as it absorbs enough vitality, it can break away from the restrictions of the Horcrux and perform temporary physical actions.
If there is more vitality, it can even be completely resurrected.
In the original work, Ginny was completely sucked dry, and the 17-year-old Tom Riddle would truly reappear in the world.
This is something that no other Horcrux can do.
A Tom Riddle and a Voldemort appeared in the wizarding world at the same time.
It can only be described as terrifying.
Wayne had a hunch that the rewards he received would definitely reach an unprecedented level.
At first, his target was Flint, but due to Lockhart's initiative, the selection also changed.
No matter how you calculate it, the vitality of an adult wizard is much stronger than that of a student, right?
Because of the potion exchange competition, he has to leave school for a while.
The safety of Astoria, Cho, Hermione, and Penelo must be guaranteed.
The other students were also innocent. If something went wrong and resulted in the student's death, he would not want to see it.
Therefore, Wayne kept the Phoenix King, Gardevoir, and the Parselmouth master Najib.
Even if he is facing the basilisk head-on, with the current strength of Phoenix King, he can resurrect a person as long as he has been dead for less than a day.
There may be some overt suspicion, but at least doing this will make him feel better.
Seeing that the boy had not spoken and was just walking aimlessly, Penello followed quietly beside him. "Song's slender and slender fingers interlocked with Wayne's at some point.
It wasn't until he reached the entrance of the secret passage that Wayne came back to his senses.
"Sorry, I just got lost in my thoughts."
"It's nothing." Penello hugged him gently, and their heartbeats were so obvious in the empty night sky.
I don’t know how long it took before the two gradually started to separate.
The blonde senior's pretty face turned red, and she lay on Wayne's chest unconsciously. This guy's hands were a little dishonest.
"No matter what you want to do, I will support you, even if you end up in Azkaban.
"Don't worry." Wayne hugged the girl's slender waist: "If any Auror dares to arrest you, I will call the Ministry of Magic to rescue them."
Penello's eyes lit up, "I'm suddenly looking forward to it now."
Back in the dormitory, Wayne took out his diary.
During this time, Tom was no longer willing to exchange ideas with him, which made Wayne a little hurt.
Fortunately, the homework help business has not been cancelled, but the requirements are getting higher and higher, and they even want him to go to the forbidden forest to catch small animals.
In fact, he could feel that Tom was becoming more and more impatient. He wanted to gain power and use more powerful magic to control 'Harry'.
In order not to reveal their secrets, the two have gradually less and less communication recently.
The last time we chatted was a week ago.
But thinking about giving the diary to Lockhart soon, Wayne still couldn't let go of this old friend, and planned to talk to Tom one last time.
