Chapter 597: I've Been Pit Again
Lockhart was by no means a qualified professor, and he liked to waste a lot of time and energy trying to attract more attention from his students.
For example, just now, Lockhart waved his wand from side to side, trying to conjure it into a complex pattern, and then ...... He accidentally dropped his wand on the ground, causing a wave of embarrassment.
Albert even saw the sneer on Snape's lips, and it was clear that the Potions Professor was well aware of Lockhart's personality and disdained him.
"Harry is unlucky. "Fred and George are very unoptimistic about this matchup, what can Lockhart, a fool, do but pit people?
They hadn't forgotten how Lockhart had put Harry in the school hospital last time.
In fact, as everyone could clearly tell, when Snape whispered a few words in Malfoy's ear, Lockhart didn't give Harry any useful advice at all, he just patted Harry on the shoulder and said, "Just do what I did, Harry!"
Yes, because the surroundings were so quiet, Albert, who was some distance away from Harry, heard Lockhart's words clearly.
Just do what I just did?
"Drop your wand on the ground?"
Albert heard Lee Jordan's sneer.
"He didn't teach Harry anything. Fred was equally disdainful of Lockhart's perfunctory approach.
"I dare say Lockhart himself doesn't know what to do. George lowered his voice and mocked, "How can he have the face to hold a dueling club?"
"My lord, sometimes it's a very shameless creature. Albert looked at Lockhart and whispered, "I think Dumbledore invited this to teach at Hogwarts, probably hoping that we wouldn't become like Lockhart in the future!"
——————
"Your views have always been so incisive. ”
The three of them agreed with Albert very much, otherwise Headmaster Dumbledore invited this kind of goods to teach at Hogwarts, could it be true that he just made up the numbers?
Dumbledore was clearly not such a casual person.
"Is there any way you can get me to duel him?" Lee Jordan really wanted to get on the court and teach Lockhart a hard lesson.
On stage, in order to hide his embarrassment, Lockhart pretended not to hear Harry, but just urged the two to get ready, and began to count down. Harry Potter had to face Malfoy, who had learned some spell from Snape alone.
After another duel between the two sides, Mr. Malfoy still did not get rid of his bad habits, and once again preemptively recited the incantation.
The tip of his wand exploded, and a long black snake suddenly burst out of the tip of his wand and landed on the floor between the two of them.
Suddenly, the crowd screamed in terror and retreated, for fear that they would suffer an unjustified disaster.
"Malfoy certainly doesn't have the ability to learn this kind of dark magic. Albert didn't believe that Malfoy could learn such a dark magic in the first place.
You must know that most of the dark arts need to be supported by strong magical power, and it is not easy to conjure a snake out of thin air.
With Malfoy's level, it is impossible to learn it and perform it successfully.
Albert had learned summoning magic, but it took months to summon a chrysanthemum out of thin air, and it was even more difficult to summon living creatures out of thin air.
Even if you are now, you don't have the ability to learn that black magic in a few seconds without hanging up.
No one can skip the familiar process and master a magic right away.
Unless the author gave Malfoy a hang at the time.
"You lost. ”
Stunned, Harry came back to his senses and shouted to Malfoy, "You despicable one, chanting the spell before the countdown is over. ”
Just when Harry secretly admired his wit, things changed again, and Lockhart shouted: Let me come!
He swept Harry away, raised his wand, and waved it menacingly at the snake, trying to defeat the black snake and save the weak, poor, frightened, and helpless Harry Potter.
"Stop. ”
Harry tried to stop Lockhart from making things worse.
However, it was already too late.
Hearing a loud "bang" echo in the hall, Lockhart's magic not only failed to make the black snake disappear, but instead made it even bigger, jumping more than a foot high.
Before the people could let out a sharper scream of terror, the Great Black Snake, enraged by Lockhart's magic, raised its head, bared its fangs, and hissed letters, ready to attack one of the hapless students next to the stage.
As for, why not Lockhart?
Because when the guy found out that he had messed things up, he secretly retreated behind Harry, intending to use poor Potter as a shield.
Things changed like Hot Wheels, and before everyone could react, Harry Potter could hear a creepy hissing sound from the mouth of the big black snake.
Then, the big black snake became settled, staring at Harry obediently like a pet.
People began to whisper, and their eyes were filled with unease and awe as they looked at Harry Potter.
The changes in just a few seconds were all seen by Albert.
In fact, he couldn't understand why everyone showed such awe-inspiring gazes, especially when Ron pulled Harry away, and the crowd even took the initiative to make way for the two.
As Harry left, Snape waved his wand in surprise, turning the serpent into a plume of black smoke.
"You say, Harry is not a descendant of Slytherin. Lee Jordan said suddenly. In fact, it's not just him who thinks this way, but the whole school probably thinks like this.
Perhaps, Harry Potter was a Slytherin great-great-great...... Great-grandson.
"The wizarding world in Britain has a habit of intermarrying each other, so even if Harry Potter and Slytherin are somewhat related, it is not surprising!"
Albert looked at the panicked students around him, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a mockery: "Maybe, the famous Harry Potter is the heir of Slytherin." ”
The surrounding students all looked at Albert with amazement.
Perhaps, he was now on his way to the chamber to have tea with his toothy servant and talk about the target of his next attack. Albert didn't care about the other people's eyes and said to himself.
"You don't seem surprised. Fred muttered quietly.
Several people have been with Albert for so long, and it is natural to see that Albert is dismissive of everyone's statement. Whether Harry Potter is the Nth great-grandson of Slytherin, or something else.
"Of course I know that Parseltongue is a symbol of the Dark Wizard. Albert raised his hand to interrupt the conversation, not ready to continue the discussion.
In fact, Albert was quite expecting the savior to become the Dark Lord.
That's definitely interesting.
"See with your own eyes, hear with your ears, and distinguish right from wrong with your own heads, and not be deceived by fear and by the words of others. Albert whispered, "Only fools can be fooled." ”
This matter is actually very simple, to put it bluntly, Harry was cheated by Lockhart again.
The duel continues, but Lockhart has completely lost everyone's attention. Everyone was whispering about Harry's Parseltongue.
"Take advantage of the opportunity, I guess there will be no next time in the dueling club. ”
Well, Albert just told Lee Jordan the facts, and there was absolutely no trouble to trick the other party into going to Lockhart.
