Hermione, join me as Minister of Magic!

Although Hermione is responsible for collecting information and sorting out clues in the trio, Harry is always the one who makes the decision when encountering major events.

"...As you said just now, both sides must be carried out at the same time, so that if the man behind the scene escapes, we can also intercept him in the secret room. Only I can go to the secret room, because I am the only Parseltongue... although I don't know why. "

Ron stood up: "Hey, buddy, can't do this! We can't let you go

—Going on an adventure alone, but huddled in the common room by myself, that's my sister! "

"It's no different from my sister," said Harry firmly. "Mrs. Weasley has been very nice to me. She even knitted me a sweater for Christmas, didn't she?"

"But that's not the problem!" Ron retorted, "We can obviously face it as a few of us..."

"It doesn't matter how many people there are. I'm a Parseltongue, so it won't attack me, but it wouldn't be so if you were there." Harry gave a reason that neither of them could refute.

Ron still stubbornly objected: "I'll be fine, I'm a pure blood, and it won't attack me... But you're right, Hermione should stay in the tower and watch Ginny, and in case... I'm Just in case, leave someone upstairs and tell those professors where to pick up our bodies."

"Don't be stupid, you..."

Hermione wanted to scold the two partners severely, but for some reason, the tears couldn't stop falling as soon as she opened her mouth.

Seeing her crying, Harry quickly took out his handkerchief, but Hermione slapped it away.

Because Hermione didn't want to show her emotional and vulnerable side.

"Okay, let's go together." She made a decision: "And there may not be danger, isn't it written in the book? It is afraid of the crowing of the rooster. As long as the plan is thorough, maybe we will go to the secret room next time." It's as easy as picking a kale from the garden."

Chapter 89 was shot

The trio discussed for a long time, and finally finalized the action plan.Hermione was going to urge those first-year girls to study in the name of "tutoring homework", and then quietly inquired about Ginny in the chat.

Harry is responsible for scouting spots and collecting things that can fight the basilisk.

As for Ron, he had to find a way to find out more from Slytherin, possibly asking his parents and other relatives.

After the discussion, the three of them returned to the castle, ready to act according to plan.But on their way back to the dormitory, they met two people—the twin brothers of the Weasley family.

"Hurry up to the auditorium," they shouted to the three of them, "Lee Jordan told us that Professor Kettleburn and Professor Lockhart are going to have a duel before dinner, and this time it will be a good show!" "

"Duel? Why?" said Hermione in disbelief.

"Because Lockhart said he was going to teach the students how to deal with dark magic creatures." Fred said carelessly, "Actually, even if there is no excuse, they will have a fight, right?"

"But how can there be conflicts between professors? Professor Lockhart is obviously a very good person." Hermione frowned.

"Hey, who cares!" Ron was generous enough, "It's just right for dark magic creatures."

Seeing Ron's unrestrained speech, Hermione quickly gave him a warning wink.Ron knew he had made a slip of the tongue, but his curiosity still made him decide to go to the auditorium with the twins.

Seeing that Hermione was a little worried, Harry quickly smoothed things over: "It's good to learn more: right? No matter what the reason is, let's go and see. Anyway, I don't need to train now, and I don't have anything else to do, I guess Will spend a lot of time dueling..."

After listening to his words, Hermione felt that if this duel would really teach some ways to deal with dark creatures, it might be really useful for their next actions, so she agreed.

As they walked, they listened to the twins tell them how it happened

Ever since the Duel Club's "Clause for Bringing Creatures" came out, there are still some students who think that magical creatures should not be brought into battle, because it is obviously unfair.

But when they approached Lockhart with his opinion on Wednesday morning, Lockhart told them "it's nothing"

"In the wizard's one-on-one duel, we must put a question mark on the extent to which magical creatures can help. In my opinion, their only function is to restrain, but as long as one is not well grasped, They're no different than a liability on the ring," Lockhart told them.

The little wizards asked everywhere with full of questions, and finally poked a hornet's nest——Professor Kettleburn of the Protection of Magical Creatures class.

Professor Kettleburn made public accusations during his afternoon class with them

He thinks that Lockhart is too arrogant-not to mention that many magical creatures are resistant to magic, even if they have no combat ability themselves, they will definitely not become a burden.

"If that's what he's come to after seeing Master Scamander, then I can only feel sorry for it. He doesn't even know how strong magical creatures can be, even 3X creatures, and it's not a Wizards can handle it easily." This is Kay

The exact words of Professor Terborn.

The students (especially the Gryffindors) were all overjoyed after hearing this, and they immediately passed on Professor Kettleburn's words to Lockhart, trying to make the professors angry.

And Lockhart didn't disappoint them either.

"I don't mean to belittle magical creatures. They play an irreplaceable and important role in our social life and environmental improvement. But when it comes to the duel stage, or even when life and death are at stake, I still don't recommend bringing magical creatures for combat , because it will most likely be counterproductive." Lockhart also insisted on his own opinion.

After hearing this comment, the student who was originally ill-intentioned naturally added fuel to the matter, and transferred the words to Professor Kettleburn.

"Fuck him! If he appears on the dueling ring, I will immediately use my box of magical creatures to make him understand!" The professor who is known for his hot temper and frizzy behavior replied.

Speaking of this, it seems that the two of them can't do without a fight.

When Harry and the others rushed to the auditorium, they saw Professor Kettleburn and Professor Lockhart standing at both ends of the dueling ring.

Lee Jordan saw them and raised his hand in greeting.

"You guys are late!" He said, "Two games have been played just now, and this is already the third game."

The Weasley twins were disappointed: "It's late? Why so fast?"

"It was that fast - in the first game Kettleburn went to open the box and Lockhart hit him. In the second game they said Keitelburn would open the box and then Lockhart hid into the mist, lured the animals away with a duck bait, and then another disarming spell... oh, how miserable."

"Now?" Hermione looked at the stage.

"This is the third game. It is estimated that Professor Kettleburn will change his curiosity this time."

Not such a strong creature! ’ Jordan grimaced.

Everyone turned their eyes back to the stage, only to see that Lockhart was trying to make the final "persuade to surrender"

"Okay, Sylvanus... I really don't mean to look down on magical creatures: I'm just saying that it's not suitable for one-on-one battles between wizards. You can try group battles, but Master Scamander doesn't like it. do this..."

But Professor Kettleburn didn't appreciate it: "Don't think you've won! The power of magical creatures is by no means what it seems on the surface."

Seeing how stubborn this old professor with only one arm and half of a leg left and unable to move without prosthetics gave Lockhart a headache.

He wanted to say a few words against his will, but he couldn't.

Because he is now a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, he is obliged to teach students how to deal with various situations, even if it means offending one or two people.

Drink it, since you insist..." Lockhart had no choice.

Then they saluted each other and began the third duel

According to the agreement, this time Professor Kettleburn can first release the magical creatures to simulate the scene of "being attacked by a dark wizard".

This time, Professor Kettleburn learned his lesson. He threw three fire crabs out of his box in front of the students.

After the fire crabs got out of the box, they immediately crawled on their knees, plunged their crab legs deep into the ground, and hid their bodies, only exposing the gemstone carapace on their backs.

"It's a fire crab! Lockhart is in trouble now," said Fred, ""The jewel shell of that thing is very resistant to magic, and once it's stuck, even a dragon can't pull it out.George and I have been trying to get some shells to make into armor..."

Ron stared at the gem shells and shook his head sadly: "I can't guarantee

I won't sell it after I get it. "di

Chapter 90 Laissez-faire

After seeing Professor Kettleburn release three fire crabs, the students from wizarding families showed a look of hope.

No one knows better than them how difficult fire crabs are to deal with.

Using the word "rough skin and thick flesh" is not enough to describe how difficult this thing is, not to mention that the hardness of the gemstones on its skin is second only to diamonds, and conventional physical methods such as swords and axes are completely unable to deal with it. Even its anti-magic ability is so strong that it can still remain motionless under lightning strikes.

After all, the place of origin of this thing is Fiji, and Fiji experiences several typhoons every year, so it has already developed the ability to be "unmoved by wind and rain", which is very difficult to catch, and its catch method is also very difficult. It is regarded as an untold secret by the magicians in Southeast Asia.

Since Fiji also belongs to the Commonwealth, the properties there are also taken for granted by the British as their own.

The British magic community introduced it to the mainland not only because of the valuable gems on its shell, but also to use its shell to make W

The shell of the fire crab is hard, anti-magic and watertight, and the effect of using it as a potion is even better than that of golden turkey. Therefore, wizard families who need potions will basically buy them at a high price, especially those who use potions as their business. The wizard is even more necessary, so everyone knows how difficult this thing is to deal with.

The three fire crabs lay there, and Professor Kettleburn was hiding behind them—this kind of formation makes people want to fight just looking at it.

"Let me see... this is next... go ahead, cutie!"

Professor Kettleburn, who was squatting behind the fire crab, obviously gained a great sense of security, so that he moved a lot slower when turning over his own box number.

The second time he released was a cat leopard, a black cat leopard that looked very lively.

If the purpose of the fire crab is to defend, then the function of this one is to harass.

It is agile, fast-moving, and aggressive enough to make any wizard scramble when facing it alone. The purpose of Kettleburn pulling it out is self-evident—he hopes that Lockhart Can voluntarily surrender.

But Lockhart didn't intend to surrender, he just glanced lazily at Maobao, and then hid himself in a mist.

Kettleburn didn't care about him either—anyway, as the number of summons he put on the field gradually increased, his chances of winning would also increase, and the beneficiary of delaying time was himself.

Without saying a word, he pulled out another cage from the suitcase, and then opened the door of the cage, and just like that, he released the two wicked birds.

The sound of the witch bird can make people or animals who hear it lose their minds, so the wizard is required to cast "silence" on it when it is sold, and the magic must be strengthened once a month.

But Kettleburn's two don't look like they've been enchanted, because their wings are flapping loudly.

"Run in and find him!" Kettleburn called to his magical creature.

Seeing that the cat leopard and devil bird were approaching him, Lockhart calmly cast another hurricane spell in the mist.

"The whirlwind!" Lockhart waved in front of him.

The gust of wind created out of thin air immediately blew towards the cat leopard and devil bird, making it difficult for them to move for a while.

Kettleburn called out to Lockhart in the mist: "You're dragging

Time delay, Gilderoy, you know very well that there is no escape from you! "

"How do you know if you don't try it?" Lockhart replied.

In reply to Lockhart, Kettleburn, after a moment's selection, produced a swallow-tailed dog from the box.

The swallow-tail dog's sense of smell is so keen that it can pick out Lockhart even if he is hiding in the clouds.Even if Lockhart wanted to rely on his good health to take these injuries and then counterattack, he still didn't have the ability to penetrate the fire crab's defense.

But Lockhart doesn't seem to have any plans to penetrate immediately

"Confused!" Lockhart pointed at the field.

The cat, leopard and swallow-tailed dog, which were advancing side by side, suddenly stopped and started attacking each other.

The cat and leopard nimbly turned around the body of the swallow-tailed dog, and from time to time, it stepped forward from the blind spot of its gaze and bit it hard.The swallowtail dog was powerless to resist, and could only remind its owner by barking.

"Stop!" Kettleburn hurriedly tried to dissuade.

It's just that neither the cat leopard nor the swallow-tailed dog listened to him. For one reason or another, their eyes were already red.

In desperation, Professor Kettleburn had to use magic—he used a lucid spell to calm down his cat, leopard and swallow-tailed dog.

Lockhart took advantage of this time to add a spell for himself, and continued to delay: "Protect everyone!"

Although the gust of wind just now temporarily blew the group of small animals away, and now he has added a protective cover to temporarily isolate his own smell, Lockhart still has not solved the problem, because Professor Kettleburn's magical creatures Still on the field.

Especially the three fire crabs, they were still firmly embedded in the concrete floor of the ring below them, motionless.

Although Lockhart hadn't caused any harm to Kettleburn so far, he didn't dare to be careless.

Because the previous two games have proved that Lockhart is a person who will do everything in order to win. Although what he is doing now is delaying time, who knows what bad idea he is brewing.

Kettleburn didn't see Lockhart's new movement when the Hurricane Curse stopped.And the cloud and mist at the beginning gradually began to fade until Lockhart's figure was revealed.

Unexpectedly, there was no panic on Lockhart's expression.

He even thought of provoking Kettleburn: "Magical creatures are not good at this point. If wizards want to control their actions, the energy they spend will be several times the original. It's better to use a spell." .”

"Really? Please tell me after winning the big talk, this time you don't want to use bait tactics again, I won't make the same mistake again." The old professor said angrily.

As he spoke, he poked his head out from behind the fire crab vigilantly, and glanced at the field.

This time he deliberately paid more attention, and used creatures that he had domesticated for a long time. He believed that Lockhart would not be so easy to use rubber ducks to attract the attention of all his creatures.

Kettleburn thought for a moment, and then threw out three swamp diggers—a magical creature that can sneak into the ground, and it specializes in attacking people's ankles.

Now Lockhart is in trouble - the upper three lanes have the vile bird that needs to be worried all the time, the middle three lanes have swallowtail dogs and cat leopards, and the lower three lanes have swamp diggers. It doesn't look like it will be easy The way it is blocked.

The best way to deal with swamp diggers is to use Transfiguration, or the "Turn Mud to Stone" spell, but it's no secret that Lockhart is not good at Transfiguration and transmutation spells, so Kettleburn thinks, Lockhart was going to be unstoppable this time.

This is the case with people who use magical creatures to duel, once they fail to fight in the early stage

Restrict them and let them pave the field, then the high probability of losing is the spell wizard.

Lockhart's current situation on the court can be described as precarious, but this can only be blamed on himself. Who let him take the big and let Professor Kettleburn indulge in the early stage?

Seeing that he couldn't avoid it, Lockhart finally got serious.

"Look out, students! The reason why I said that it is unreliable to single out magical creatures is because of this. No matter what kind of dark creatures you will face in the future, this spell is very effective..."

As he spoke, he pointed to the air on the duel arena.

"Scintillate!"
