Chapter 257: Let Me Go... I'm a master of magic!
After Dumbledore finished speaking, there was an uproar in the hall,
Lockhart's fans simply didn't want to believe it was true, and many of the little witches cried sadly.
However, those junior girls who had just woken up provided strong testimony about how they were attacked, which made it impossible to refute...
The Aurors from the Ministry of Magic then arrived, preparing to bring Lockhart to the Ministry of Magic to investigate.
Lockhart, who had lost his memory, had no idea who these people were, and immediately put up a fierce resistance.
"What do you want to do? Let go of me... I'm a master of magic! Otherwise, I'm going to cast a spell! ”
"Faint!" "Hurry up and be imprisoned!" "Deadtongue seals!"
Hearing that Lockhart was going to cast a spell on them, the Aurors were like a great enemy, and several spells fell one after another.
It didn't take long for Lockhart to be dragged away by the Aurors...
Ivan sat at the Gryffindor's long table, watching all this, and couldn't help but mourn for Lockhart for a while.
I'm afraid that the Ministry of Magic really found out something, otherwise, it would have been the staff of St. Mungo's Magical Injury Hospital who came to pick up Lockhart.
"I already knew something was wrong with Lockhart, he didn't know anything but storytelling, and it must have been because of the influence of that dark magic object that he suddenly became so powerful."
Ron spoke eloquently, expressing his opinion like an afterthought, causing the young wizards around him to nod frequently, but some people also expressed doubts.
After all, when they were in dueling class, "Lockhart" specially reminded them of the dangers of black magic items, but they didn't expect to be tricked...
Hearing everyone's discussion, Hermione glared at Ivan in disgust, only she and Luna knew that Lockhart that day was pretended by Ivan with Polyjuice Potion.
Ivan shrugged his shoulders, just as if he didn't see Hermione's gaze, he had earned nearly 10,000 gold Galleons from Lockhart, and the other party's request was still to be done.
Besides, at that time, he also wanted to use Lockhart's identity to find the attacker, but he didn't expect that the lights went dark in the end, and he almost didn't give himself a pit...
As everyone talked, Dumbledore cleared his throat, drawing everyone's eyes to him, before continuing.
"I have a few more things to announce next!"
"First of all, Mr. Hals, through his ingenuity, discovered Lockhart's anomaly and succeeded in defeating him, so that the attack did not worsen further.
Here I would like to add a hundred points to Mr. Hals! In recognition of his merits! ”
Dumbledore's gaze turned to Ivan and he took the lead in clapping.
On the long tables of the four major academies, warm applause suddenly rang out.
The previous attacks had caused panic throughout Hogwarts, especially Muggle-born students who feared they would be the next targets.
Now that Ivan has completely solved the attack, it naturally makes them breathe a sigh of relief.
The professors sitting in the faculty chair looked at Ivan with a strange gaze.
If they're not mistaken, this is the second Defence Against the Dark Arts professor to be knocked out by Ivan.
Waiting for the applause to subside, Dumbledore changed his serious expression and said to the young wizards.
"Also, I need to warn you that I am not advocating such a risky move by Hals!"
"In fact, if you find a similar problem, you should immediately seek help from the professors in the school, or report it to me directly!"
At this, Dumbledore suddenly turned his head to look at Hermione and said in a loud voice. "So here, I'm going to reward Miss Granger with an extra bonus! She promptly informed me of Mr. Hals's adventures, and I was going to add fifty points to her! ”
There was another round of applause from the audience, and the scoring pool placed in the Great Hall changed after Dumbledore spoke one after another.
Among them, the score pool representing Gryffindor has risen by a cut and has surpassed the Ravenclaw House, which was originally the first place, and has added almost all the points deducted from the previous house war.
Hermione was overjoyed, she had thought that Gryffindor would have no hope of winning the House Cup this year.
Ivan had never been worried about this, and when the points were deducted, he had a hunch that Dumbledore would find an opportunity to help them add them back.
In contrast, a wail suddenly rang out from the Ravenclaw House Headmaster's Desk.
They thought it would be their turn to win the House Cup once this year, but they were overtaken by Gryffindor.
However, Ivan solved the attack, and no amount of points was reasonable.
This makes the Ravenclaw wizards very helpless, and can only hope to work hard before the end of the semester to pull back the similar score.
But just as they were thinking about it, Dumbledore spoke again.
"The second thing I want to say has to do with Mr. Hals! As you may have read in the newspapers, Hals developed a new potion last summer, the Wolf Poison Potion! ”
"This potion can bring werewolves back to their senses on the night of the full moon, which will greatly reduce the possibility of ordinary wizards being attacked by werewolves, and also improve the survival of werewolf wizards.
After the evaluation of the Knights of Merlin, Hals has been allowed to join the Knights of Merlin, and tomorrow morning, he will be awarded the Order of Merlin of the Second Class at the Great Hall of Hogwarts! ”
"No one has ever achieved such glory at this age before this, so I will add another hundred points to Mr. Hals!" Dumbledore's loud voice echoed through the halls.
There was a brief silence in the audience, the news was so shocking that even the young wizards of Ravenclaw stopped thinking about the Academy Cup.
The Order of Merlin is the highest honor in the wizarding world, and countless wizards have coveted it!
The selection of the Knights of Merlin is strict, and medals are usually awarded only to those who have made outstanding contributions to the Ministry of Magic!
For example, it took Lockhart more than ten years to plagiarize the life experiences of more than a dozen powerful wizards, write books that swept the entire wizarding world, and packaged himself as a fighter against the dark arts, and only then did he get the lowest level of the Order of Merlin.
You can see how difficult it is to get the Merlin Medal...
The little wizards present turned their heads to look at Ivan one after another, with envy and shock on their faces.
It's hard to imagine a recipient of the Order of Merlin of the 2nd degree, sitting next to them and attending classes together every day.
It was a long time before thunderous applause rang out in the auditorium.
At the Gryffindor table, many lion cubs chanted Ivan's name, and George and Fred came over to ask for autographs and group photos.
They think that if they save more signatures now, when Ivan becomes more famous in the future, they will definitely be able to make a lot of money by selling this!
