Hermione, join me as Minister of Magic!

Slytherin has a secret room, and that is our Slytherin's own business, outsiders are not qualified to ask.

"Maybe they know, but it's Slytherin's house, they don't want to interfere too much, and who doesn't have a little secret, the other three houses also have something to hide from everyone, so it's even."

"Like?" The students were very interested.

"I remember we were talking about Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets." Lockhart brought the topic back, "If you are interested, you can check it yourself. In fact, every house has its own dark history, Slytherin The Chamber of Secrets is just one of them."

"And Ravenclaw too?"

"some."

Lockhart was happy to change the subject: "For example, our Ravenclaw's famous saying "Witbeyndmeasureisman'sgreatesttreasure: We usually understand that" extraordinary intelligence is the greatest wealth of human beings: right

■

Everyone nodded, especially the primary school students of Ravenclaw College.

The red question is that Ravenclaw died in the 0th century. At that time, Great Britain still used a kind of Old English. In Old English, wit means "length", and mn also means "man" in addition to human beings, so We can also understand this sentence as "extraordinary length is a man's greatest wealth" if we consider that Rowena Ravenclaw is a very beautiful woman who has a daughter but never

Heard who her father is...uh...you know what I mean

The eaglets present were shocked, while the Gryffindors laughed, and even the Hufflepuffs had to lower their heads to prevent others from seeing their expressions.

"Fortunately, you are also a Ravenclaw. If someone else said these words, you would have received more than a dozen duel applications." The Slytherin student commented.

Chapter 70 new book

Lockhart felt that he had said enough, and if he continued, Dumbledore would definitely blame him for leaking too much information to Miss Know-it-all, so he simply told a joke to divert everyone's attention.

Now it seemed that this trick was very successful, and the little witches including Hermione covered their faces—the jokes that Lockhart said were obviously not suitable for girls to listen to.

Next, you should find out the location of the secret room by yourself!Lockhart says

After the small talk was over, Lockhart returned the rug to its original shape and sent the students out.

After a while, Snape really came to his office.

"What the hell are you doing?" Snape asked angrily. "My students said they must find the Chamber of Secrets before the other houses!"

"Wouldn't that be nice, Severus?" Lockhart answered him casually. "I bet those Gryffindor cubs would love to find the Chamber of Secrets as soon as possible, so they can give Snake House a A big slap in the face, which is completely in line with Dumbledore's instructions."

"But there are snakes there, and it is very likely that they are basilisks with Medusa blood!" Snape regretted, "I used moonstone powder as the anti-magic ingredient for your color-changing potion to save trouble. You should use the essence of Dharma Protector Quan Jing's juice, which has been purified 12 times!"

Lockhart laughed dumbly: "It's still too late...you can use your method to remind the savior and make them pay attention to protection."

As he was talking, Lockhart suddenly remembered something--Snape's words mentioned just now

woke him up.

Strange, why is Voldemort not afraid to meet the eyes of the basilisk?Even if the basilisk trusts V

Old Mort, would Voldemort trust the Basilisk? Did the word "trust" ever appear in Voldemort's dictionary?Isn't he afraid that the basilisk will attack him suddenly?Or is he so confident that he has completely controlled the basilisk

■

No, he must have his own insurance method.

Thinking of this, Lockhart began to recall all the signs of Voldemort he knew, and then he suddenly thought of something---something that Voldemort possessed

So, no wonder he is not afraid of the basilisk!

How did Snape remind Harry that Lockhart ended up on Thursday?

Yu know

"Professor Lockhart!" Hermione came to ask for help with a look of horror on her face. "Professor Snape said that he would make an antidote to the curse of blindness in the next class, and he hinted that he would let "disobedient poor students" take it himself, come To verify that the antidote works...you know, that curse is really powerful..."

After sighing for Snape's proficiency in playing blackface, Lockhart took out a few new pairs of contact lenses that he had prepared long ago.

I used moonstone powder for the protective layer of the previous batch of contact lenses, but these few pairs I used the sap essence of the guardian tree, which was purified 12 times... You should know what the guardian tree is, right? "

"Yes, it is a kind of sorrel wood, the most effective wood against dark magic creatures and curses among the known woods!" Hermione immediately answered Lockhart's question

"It turns out that there is still such an effect...I mean, it's a pity that this is not a class, so I can't give you extra points. You should use these pairs of contact lenses first. If it's just that kind of curse, you should still...you know .”

"Thank you, Professor Lockhart!" Hermione replied sweetly, "I knew you would have a way."

ashamed

Lockhart blushed for a rare moment—Master Snape's credit was once again stolen by him.

But to be a politician, one must first have a thick skin that is greedy for oneself. Lockhart feels that he is still ashamed, which only shows that he is not very mature.

Hermione happily slipped away with the things, believing that with these things, they would not die tragically under the gaze of the basilisk anyway, at most they would be petrified.

At this point, the initial task assigned by Dumbledore to Lockhart has finally come to an end, and he feels relaxed now.

Considering that there won't be anything new for a while, Lockhart felt that this was the time to seek his own personal gain, so he picked up his pen and prepared to start writing the book again.

The reason why he wanted to write a new book was because he found that there seemed to be fewer letters from readers recently.This represents a not-so-good tendency—that is, Lockhart is gradually being forgotten.

It's no wonder, after all, he hasn't published a new book for more than half a year, and the last book "I Know Magic" is an autobiographical book, so book fans haven't seen the family story for a long time, and their enthusiasm has somewhat diminished.

Therefore, it is most important for the author to keep updating continuously. Even if it is slower for the sake of quality, it must not be interrupted. Writing a new book is imminent

He has already thought of the title of the new book, and it is called "Explore the Hogwarts Chamber of Secrets with the Basilisk"-of course, the title of the book will not be written until the savior kills the basilisk.

Considering that almost all wizards in the UK graduated from Hogwarts, believe this

This book is sure to evoke nostalgic feelings in many people at that time.

In the past few years, Lockhart has almost kept publishing a new book at a rate of one book a year, which is very rare in the wizarding world. In addition to Lockhart's spirit of continuous writing, the high efficiency of the publishing house is also one of the reasons .

The publishing house that Lockhart cooperates with, Whiz Hard Book Company, is located at No. 129B on the south side of Diagon Alley. Because his books are still popular, he has always enjoyed the priority of publishing.

After hearing that Lockhart was going to teach at Hogwarts, Ms. Logan, the editor-in-chief of the publishing house, was still very sad for a while-because she thought that he would not have new books this year.

But when Lockhart's owl brought his letter, Lady Logan was simply overjoyed.

Lockhart wrote in the letter that he planned to use his spare time as a teacher to write another book about the legendary chamber of secrets in Hogwarts. He has already found some clues, and it is estimated that he will be able to find it soon. Ask Is the publisher interested in publishing it?

She almost ran upstairs and asked Mr. Harder, the boss and editor-in-chief, what he meant.

Mr. Harder didn't even have time to hesitate. He made a decisive decision and decided to apply for a publication number from the Ministry of Magic in advance for Lockhart. He also contacted the Daily Prophet and Wizard Radio to inquire about advertisements. Provide enough resources.

He's not a fool, a best-selling author with many fans and Hogwarts where everyone went to school, the sales volume of this book is predictable, and he will not refuse the golden gallon delivered to his door.

If the publishing house cannot show enough support for Lockhart, then he will be poached by the people of Obscure Books.

So Lockhart soon received an enthusiastic reply—not only the content was enthusiastic, but even his owl Hui Hui was covered with lipstick marks

"Ms. Logan asked you to bring this kind of "message" again..." Lockhart had a headache, "This magic lipstick is particularly difficult to wash off. "

Huihui let out a dissatisfied cry, her eyes full of condemnation, probably saying "It's all your fault"

But it immediately looked at the snacks on Lockhart's table, and stared at the plate of dried meat, the meaning was self-evident-you have to pay enough for me to forgive you.

Considering that there were too many owls in the Hogwarts Owl House, this big fat man might not be able to snatch the mouse to eat, so Lockhart had to feed this guy himself.

Lockhart opened the thick letter, and deftly flipped through the six pages of the folder, looking straight to the end of the letter, and sure enough, he saw the main topic there.

What Mr. Harder meant was that he hoped that Lockhart would send out some samples before Christmas so that they could use the Christmas holiday for the first publicity, Candlemas and Easter for the second and third publicity, and then The book will be released at the end of June.

After doing some calculations, Lockhart felt that the problem was not that big, half a year was enough time for him to finish the book.So he wrote back to express his agreement and fed the owl

That.

He didn't wash his owl, because he knew that even if it was cleaned, it would still be stained with lipstick when it came back.

After seeing off the owl, Lockhart began to conceive a new book.

The new book, like the previous ones, needs to be written from the first perspective. Lockhart decided to start the story when he rescued Harry and Ron from under the Whomping Willow, and then came the attacking cat. The cat, slowly telling how he discovered the Basilisk and the Chamber of Secrets through rigorous logic and reasoning, and finally defeated the dark magic items left by Voldemort

In addition, in order to avoid the disgust of the Hogwarts professors, he would have to brag about those professors desperately in the book.For example, Professor Sprout, who planted Mandrake, configured

Potions' Snape, etc., he needs to brag in exchange for the professors' selective ignorance of the truth.

Of course, the most important thing is to clean up for Hagrid—without this, it is estimated that Dumbledore would not have agreed to let him publish this book.

In order to avoid lightning, the principal will definitely not allow him to directly write the content related to the Horcrux in the book, so the diary must not be mentioned, and it can only be said to be "a black magic item picked up by a young wizard by accident."

Because the readers are all wizards who graduated from Hogwarts, he has already thought about the tone of the whole book, which is to use as many descriptions as possible, highlight the details of the environment, and evoke the readers' memories. Readers will have a sense of novelty.

It's like when a game player is watching a nostalgic game video, he suddenly finds that the old Fangfu game he has played for more than ten years actually has easter eggs that he didn't know about. This kind of novelty is indescribable.

As long as this book is released, Lockhart feels that many passers-by will turn to fans, so that if he goes into politics again, he believes that the support will be expanded a lot.

Just as Lockhart was constructing the outline, he heard the fluttering sound outside the window again.

Lockhart thought it was just a ghost flying in and out, but it was an owl that Lockhart didn't recognize that flew in.

He removed the letter from the owl, found the Gringotts seal on it, and opened it straight away.

"Dear Mr. Lockhart, we have discussed the items you inquired about last week with our counterparts in Greece. They said that such items are generally not circulated, but considering your [family property (crossed out)] excellent reputation, As long as the price is right, we think we can make an exception and "rent" one piece for you. The rent is 5000 Galleons, no bargaining, thank you! —Your loyal friend, Raguenor. "

Lockhart crumpled the letter casually. Although he has money now, he can't let these goblins blackmail him. Sooner or later, he will have to have a "friendly" talk with them.

P.So regular Sunday py time

"This Witch Is Quitting"

Introduction: Angie transmigrated into the silver witch with silver hair and red eyes in the game.

No matter which ending it is in, the Silver Witch who is a scumbag woman will be mistreated!

Before she could react, the Demon King arranged a new task for her. The task was difficult and there was a high probability of death.

Vd^md, I quit! "

The villain witch An Qi surrendered directly to the empire!

in prison.

An Qi actively accepted the reform, vigorously reported the devil cadres, exchanged life experience with the inmates, and preached the truth, goodness and beauty, all in order to be released from prison as soon as possible.

But she never expected it.

The imperial army who got her information was defeated in succession, and even the protagonists in the game, the Holy Sword Hero, the saint of the church, and the emperor of the empire fell into flames one after another and joined the army of the demon king.

On the day when the Demon King's army captured the imperial capital, An Qi was stunned when she saw a group of women surrounded by her.

"I swear, I really just want to get a makeover!"

Are you women out of your mind?

Hey, hey, don't live it, I'm a witch, not a succubus!

Chapter 71 Second Raid

After the end of the Quidditch match in the first week, there was a moderate upset in the second week of the match.

Slytherin, who had seven Nimbus 2001s, actually lost, and lost to most of the Gryffindor colleges that were still relying on sweeping five-stars.

Considering that there was a problem with the Bludger in the middle of the game, and it kept attacking Harry Potter, Slytherin's defeat seemed even more useless. They lost on their side at the right time and place, and they lost nothing. can be said.

And Draco Malfoy, who directly caused this failure, couldn't hold his head up in the academy for a long time.

It would be fine if he lost in a dignified manner, and no one would blame him, but at that time he was busy laughing at Potter's embarrassment, but he didn't realize that the golden snitch was on his head, and no one could forgive such a mistake.

"No wonder it costs seven brooms to buy him into the team. It's cheaper to sell." After the game, some people discussed this in private.

Although it was said in private, their voices were a bit loud. In the closed Slytherin common room at the bottom of the lake, even whispers would be magnified into public discussions, so Malfoy still let Malfoy listen. .

Because the people who were talking about were all senior students, and the family's wealth was not weak, so Malfoy couldn't do anything to them, so he had to keep this grudge in his heart.

Since there is no way to retaliate, Malfoy can only choose to vent.

So that night, Malfoy vented his energy on the dueling arena.

It has to be said that, as a thousand-year-old family, the background of the Malfoy family is really not bad, at least he knows several small curses that no one else has heard of.Not to mention that this guy, relying on his family background, throws out all kinds of magic props and potions as if he doesn't want money

In the first game, I threw a few stealth bombs imported from Peru and cooperated with the hand of glory to secretly attack. Tomorrow, I will take out four or five swallowtail dogs from the magic bag, and I will also throw a swelling potion to make them bigger and faster. The little wizards in the first grade, even the fourth graders, are a little bit embarrassed.

Percy had to call a halt to the game, and specially called a meeting of the security team to discuss whether it was necessary to ban the bringing of potions and magic items on stage, because it was obviously unfair.

But in the end, the result of their discussion was "permitted to use", because Lockhart said that the purpose of the duel is to let everyone see various ways of fighting, and this obviously includes the use of props and potions.

"Besides, who would be so stupid as to use consumables all the time? Even if it is to condense the real name, it will cost too much money, far more than the money to buy Felicity Elixir." The Ravenclaw people expressed their puzzlement.

"But we still need to avoid magical creatures that can hurt people. I suggest that in accordance with the Ministry of Magic's standards, the level of magical creatures allowed to be brought on the dueling platform should be limited to below 2X." Percy said.

Fred and George laughed together.

"What are you laughing at?" Percy would not be polite to his two younger brothers.
