Chapter 182 Lockhart: Which of you will fight me?
early morning,
Rove left the dormitory early in the morning, went to the auditorium, and sat at the Hufflepuff table.
When Hermione came to the auditorium with her schoolbag on her back, she rubbed her eyes in disbelief when she saw the figure of the boy, almost thinking that she hadn't woken up.
The first time she saw Rove come so early!
Hermione walked to the Hufflepuff dining table and asked curiously, "Rofe, why did you get up so early?"
"I didn't sleep at all last night, I was busy all night." Rove poured himself a cup of refreshing potion.
"Why did you go?" Hermione sat down on the chair, she glared at Rove with the eyes of a habitual offender, and said, "You went on a night tour again?!"
Rove didn't answer, but just took a sip of the refreshing potion and said softly, "Someone was attacked last night."
"Who was attacked?!" Hermione was stunned.
"Keep your voice down." Rove lowered his voice, and when he saw Shirley also happened to come to the auditorium, he beckoned for the girl to come over.
Rove quickly recounted what happened last night, including the deal with Nymeria.
Last night, in the headmaster's office, he also told Dumbledore what happened so frankly.
There is nothing to say about this, and it is even necessary to explain clearly why he appeared in the bathroom.
Rove didn't want to be suspected of being the attacker, and many times, misunderstandings were caused by inexplicable concealment.
Of course, he still hides the matter of Aragog and Veritaserum, so there is no need to talk about such trivial matters.
After listening, Hermione didn't speak for a long time, the amount of information was too much, she had to digest it for a while.
Shirley is okay, she knows that Rove went to the Forbidden Forest last night, and she also knows about the female horseman, but Mrs. Pince was attacked, which was really beyond her expectations.
Rove dipped his fingers in water and drew a picture of the bathroom on the table:
"It's strange, I had sealed the bathroom with magic at that time... In an absolute secret room, the black-clothed wizard can actually disappear."
"Could it be the Disillusionment Curse?" Shirley guessed, "Or the Invisibility Cloak."
"Professor Dumbledore is also in the bathroom, and neither of these two things can be hidden from his eyes." Rove shook his head and said:
"Besides, the compartment is so big, even if he is invisible, where can he hide?"
"That can't be Apparation either." Hermione frowned and said:
"There is an anti-apparition spell in the school, which can prevent the wizard from leaving. According to you...it is indeed an absolute secret room, and there is no way that person can escape!"
"Hermione, that's not exactly the case." Rove thought for a while and said:
"Phoenixes, house-elfs, and even ball birds can apparate in the school, and their magic is not the same as wizards."
"You mean...the man might have been rescued by a house-elf?" Hermione raised her eyebrows.
"It's not impossible." Rove pondered.
If it is really a house elf, the range of students holding the diary will be slightly shifted.
After all, there is no such thing as a house elf in an ordinary wizarding family!
It couldn't be Draco Malfoy holding the diary, could it?
But it was unlikely, no matter how beastly Lucius was, he would not let his precious son take risks.
Rove sighed softly. Seeing that the young man seemed to be in a low mood, Shirley put her hand on his shoulder and said softly:
"Rove, you don't have to blame yourself. It's a pity that the wizard in black ran away, but it's not your fault that you didn't catch him. You've done a good job.
Besides, you saved Mrs. Pince. "
Hermione couldn't help but searched her brains for words, trying to comfort this guy. As for things like going to the Forbidden Forest, then... there's no other way!
The boy raised his head to look at the two of them, and grinned: "I know."
...
...
The news that Mrs. Pince was attacked and lying in the school hospital spread throughout Hogwarts in the morning, and the little wizards who were a little relaxed before became tense again.
Everyone was puzzled. In the past, the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor was injured. Why did it suddenly change this year?
Many students believe that Lockhart may have secretly cast a spell to transfer bad luck to other people.
Therefore, many students hope that he will be unlucky soon so that the bad luck can be turned back.
Every time the girls go to the toilet after class, they will hold hands in groups. The boys also followed suit, holding hands in small groups and going to the toilet together.
I don't know who it was, but it was suddenly reported that Mrs. Pince went to the school hospital to visit Filch that night, and then she was attacked.
For a while, everyone was arguing about whether Mrs. Filch and Pince had a secret love affair!
Plus Weasley was attacked, isn't he Potter's boyfriend?
no? Why are those two inseparable all day long? !
The little wizards immediately found something in common among the attacked...they all had targets.
So the rumors became more and more outrageous, and began to evolve into a wizard holding a giant death scythe, all in black robes, who was very jealous of those lovers who were happy and enjoying love, and would attack as soon as they found out.
Suddenly, countless couples were forced to break up... It wasn't their initiative, but the single wizard who "persuaded" them to break up for the safety of the couple.
In the end, a justice organization named "FFF Regiment" by Rove suddenly appeared in Hogwarts!
Under this kind of farce, the professors were also affected, but they searched for many days, but they did not find the mysterious animal, nor did they catch the attacker.
So, Lockhart came up with a new idea.
In the faculty lounge, he looked around and said:
"I think we could start a dueling club and fully train the students in self-defense. What do you guys think of that proposal?"
But no one paid any attention to Lockhart, and the teachers sitting across from him all had serious faces.
"Aren't you tempted by this proposal? Oh, I get it." Lockhart smiled and said, "You are teachers in school every day, and you don't know how to duel, and your actual combat skills are too poor."
Lockhart looked around for an assistant.
He first ruled out the tall and strong Hagrid, then his eyes fell on Snape...
With a sallow face and as thin as a chicken, his combat effectiveness should not be good.
He looked at Professor McGonagall again... an old woman, probably of mediocre strength.
Finally, Lockhart set his sights on Professor Flitwick.
It's up to you, dwarf!
"Professor Flitwick, do you have time lately? Come and help me. I need an assistant to demonstrate Defense Against the Dark Arts with me."
"Let's play against each other and let the students learn."
When they heard that it was a two-person battle with Lockhart, the professors who were not interested in it were immediately tempted again.
Snape was sitting on a low armchair, his eyes were bright, and there was a sarcastic smile on his lips: "Let me do it!"
Professor McGonagall also raised his eyebrows, rubbed his hands together and said, "Let me come, I haven't joined the dueling club yet."
"I'll do it." Professor Flitwick stood up, although he was not as high as the table, he did his part and said, "At any rate, I was a dueling champion when I was young."
"I come!"
"let me!"
Lockhart was a little dumbfounded... how could a small dueling club still fight!
These dogs have never seen the world before! !
