Chapter 44

The next day, Harry was unable to participate in Quidditch training due to a broken arm, and Slytherin took advantage of this opportunity to win a victory.

However, in the following days, Hogwarts began to circulate a rumor:

"Hogwarts has a secret room left by Slytherin. Once the secret room is opened, Slytherin's inheritance will be obtained, and the heirs of Slytherin will follow one of his members to clean up the Muggles in Hogwarts. wizard."

At first, everyone just listened to such rumors as stories and didn't pay much attention to them.

However, Lockhart always talked about the Chamber of Secrets in a serious manner, and threatened that he would always solve the secrets of the Chamber of Secrets.

After Malfoy knew about the Chamber of Secrets, he always stared at Harry sullenly, as if he was the heir of Slytherin who opened the Chamber of Secrets.

When some students finally asked the professors in class, the professors were always vague and unwilling to discuss these things.

However, Hogwarts kids can always find out the secrets hidden in the castle.

Since you can't ask the professors, then ask the ghosts in the castle, there are always ghosts who can answer their questions.

So, decades ago, the story that Slytherin's chamber of secrets had been opened, and even a girl died because of it, finally spread.

And Lockhart, who always wants to show off, proposed that in order to improve the fighting ability of the little wizards, he decided to start a duel club to improve everyone's actual combat ability.

This is good news for energetic young wizards, and it is also a stage for Tarot Club members to show their strength.

It has to be said that Teacher Hermione's teaching ability is still very powerful. The members of the Tarot Club not only have made great progress in magic knowledge and spells, but also have not lagged behind in actual combat, and have made great progress.

After the duel club started, I would be shocked again just thinking about it.

Sure enough, at eight o'clock in the evening on December 12th, Lockhart was wearing a bright and bright wizard robe, standing on the high platform like a peacock.

The audience is a group of young wizards.

There was not only Lockhart on the stage, but also Professor Snape with a gloomy face.

However, Snape doesn't seem to like Lockhart very much, and even if Lockhart is there to talk at length, he doesn't talk to him, but Lockhart has the kind of way that even if you don't talk to me, I won't be embarrassed and can talk endlessly talent.

As long as I am not embarrassed, it must be someone else who is embarrassed.

Finally, after half an hour of long speeches, Lockhart was finally ready to show everyone a duel. He would fight Snape on stage.

Unfortunately, history is always surprisingly similar.As in the original book, Lockhart is trying to pose, and Snape knocks Lockhart's wand away with a random "Expelling Weapon".

He himself even flew back a certain distance, lying on the dueling platform in a state of embarrassment.

However, Lockhart reacted quickly, suppressing the discomfort and smilingly said:
"Look, I'm just showing you what will happen if you accidentally get hit by the opponent's disarming spell. So in the future, you must be careful about the opponent's disarming spell in duels."

Lockhart's acting skills are worthy of recognition, at least many of the young wizards present believed it.

William couldn't help but sigh in his heart, do the little wizards really trust Lockhart?No, but the young wizards trust Hogwarts and Dumbledore.

They believed that Dumbledore would not let an incompetent person become a professor at Hogwarts, and that the best wizarding school in the whole of England would not let a liar teach.

Unfortunately, this Lockhart is really a liar.

Although all that Dumbledore did was for the overall situation, to cultivate a savior and eliminate Voldemort.

However, such an approach is unfair to the students of the school.

However, William looked at the stage thoughtfully.

Even if all this is Dumbledore's arrangement, do the directors of Hogwarts really not know Gilderoy Lockhart's true face?Can they tolerate such a person becoming a professor in the school?
Or is it that the directors or pure-blood nobles are behind the writing?

Let's see, the Defense Against the Dark Arts class has never had a professor who can teach for a long time. Is it really because the curse of the mysterious man is terrible?

In other words, such a curse is not only imposed by the mysterious man, but also those pure-blooded nobles.

The absence of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class made the students who came out of Hogwarts have deficiencies in many things in the wizarding world. It was difficult to deal with dark wizards and evil magical creatures.

However, these people are commoner wizards with no background, while those pure-blood nobles have family inheritance. Even if they did not learn the real skills in school, after graduation and returning home to accept the family inheritance, they will have real skills. Are you capable?

Therefore, William speculated that maybe Voldemort's curse did exist, but it should not be so powerful.

But the pure-blood nobles took advantage of this, and used various methods to prevent the professors of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class from continuing to teach for a long time.

In this way, the fault of the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher will make it difficult for commoner wizards to have a bright future, thus preventing the birth of the next Voldemort.

It is impossible for those pure-blood nobles not to know that Voldemort's true identity is Tom Riddle, and it is impossible not to know that he is a half-breed, but at that time they needed a strong man with the supremacy of blood to help them maintain their status. .

Likewise, they were not necessarily unaware that Voldemort made Horcruxes.From various indications, at least Lucius Malfoy knew about the Horcrux, and also knew that the diary was Voldemort's Horcrux.

Otherwise, how dare he send the diary to Hogwarts like this.

He knew that Tom, who had entered Hogwarts, would definitely choose to open the Chamber of Secrets, and then he would be able to take this opportunity to drive Dumbledore out of Hogwarts.

Even if it fails, Dumbledore can use Dumbledore's hand to destroy Voldemort's Horcrux, so that staying at home will become a disaster.

In fact, William didn't know that it was Lucius who discovered that the soul in the Horcrux had signs of awakening, and even planned to use Draco Malfoy's vitality to resurrect him.

Such an approach naturally touched Lucius' reverse scales, so Weasley pretended to be a design and sent the diary to Hogwarts.

At that time, Tom's resurrection will not endanger Draco's life; Tom's failure is also eliminated by Dumbledore, which has nothing to do with him.

It can be seen from this that each of these pure-blood nobles is not a simple thing.

Including the final release of Dobby's freedom, perhaps he did not pay attention at the time, but it is not without meaning to push the boat along.

In this way, everything can even be blamed on a rebellious house elf. Anyway, Dobby already has the idea of ​​betrayal, and staying by his side is also a hidden danger. Why not use it as a waste, and Voldemort will come back in the future. explain.

Of course, these were no longer in William's consideration. At this time, William and Hermione were watching the duel between Harry and Draco Malfoy.

Speaking of which, Harry’s duel was strongly recommended by Lockhart, who wanted to be famous and wanted to be crazy. He wanted to convey to everyone that he was the teacher of Harry Potter, the son of destiny and the savior...
