Early Sunday morning, when Al and Hermione had finished breakfast and had just returned to the Gryffindor common room, Harry happened to walk in from outside. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Harry was forced to spend the night in the hospital due to an injury sustained from yesterday's game, treating his right arm, which had lost a bone due to Lockhart.

"Harry, how's your arm?" Al looked at Harry with some surprise, "Hermione and I would like to see you later, I didn't expect you to be out of the hospital so soon." ”

"Thanks, I'm all right, Ron?" Harry looked left and right, "We'd better find a hidden place, I have something to say to you!"

"What's wrong?" Ron yawned as he walked down the stairs, "Why are you so mysterious?"

Seeing that there was no one around, Harry led Al and the others to a corner of the common room, and then whispered to Al and them about his experience last night.

"I saw Dobby last night. Harry said, "The house-elf who used to be in my house, he told me that when school started, it was because of him that Ron and I couldn't get through the wall on the platform. ”

A long time ago, Harry had told Al about this house-elf, but what people didn't expect was that he was the culprit who almost killed Harry and Ron in the first place!

"And then?" Hermione asked, "what enmity does he have against you?"

"The Bludger that kept pestering me during yesterday's game was also his fault. Harry sighed, "I asked him, and he said he wanted to protect me. ”

"Does he call this protection?" Al shrugged, "If he doesn't lie to you again, it only means that this house-elf named Dobby has a problem with his thinking pattern or IQ." ”

"One more thing. Harry said, "Colin ...... last night"

"We know that. Al interrupted Harry, "We overheard Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick talking this morning, and it was said that there was a second attack last night, when your fan brother Colin was petrified. ”

"yes......" Harry nodded, "I heard Dumbledore say, 'The Chamber of Secrets has indeed been opened again,' and I think the thing about the Chamber of Secrets must be true." ”

"Needless to say!" Ron affirmed, "it's obvious that Lucius Malfoy must have opened the Chamber of Secrets when he was a student here, and now he's teaching dear little Draco to do the same." ”

"Still, I wish Dobby had told you what monster was there, I really don't understand, it's sneaking around the school, why no one finds out?"

"Maybe it can make itself invisible. Hermione guessed, "Or maybe it can disguise itself...... Turning into an armor or something, I've read stories of color-changing ghosts in books......"

On Monday, news of Colin's attack spread through the school. Suddenly, rumors were rife in the school, everyone was suspicious, and the first-year students were now always in groups of three or five, as if they were afraid that if they acted alone, they would be attacked.

During this time, everyone secretly exchanged all kinds of amulets, exorcisms and other gadgets to protect themselves from the teacher, so that this practice soon became popular throughout the school.

Harry and Hermione were still concocting the Polyjuice Potion, eager to get close to Malfoy to get some news out of his mouth, but the potion lacked a few herbs, so they had to wait patiently.

Compared to the panic of the rest of the school, Al was calmer, partly because he was a pure-blood wizard, but on the other hand, he trusted the school teachers and believed that they would eventually settle the matter.

......

The weather is starting to get cooler, and in the blink of an eye, it's the end of December.

Early Saturday morning, Al and Hermione were about to walk through the foyer when they saw a small group of people gathered around the bulletin board, reading a piece of parchment that had just been nailed.

Al curiously stepped forward to watch, only to find out that the school was going to open a dueling club, and the time was tonight.

"I really didn't expect the school to do this, did they think the Slytherin monsters would duel us?" Hermione said disdainfully, but after seeing Al's very interested expression, she hurriedly changed her tone, "But maybe it might come in handy in the future, what, let's go and see?"

"Of course. Al smiled and nodded, "It's always going to work, and life has been too boring lately." ”

At eight o'clock in the evening, in the auditorium, the long dining tables had disappeared, and in their place, along the walls, a gilded stage appeared, illuminated by hundreds of candles floating above.

Once again, the ceiling was dark like velvet, and almost all the students in the school came, crowded one after another, each with their own wands and their faces full of excitement.

"I don't know who is going to teach us. Al and Hermione squeezed sideways into the chirping crowd, joining Harry and Ron, "I've been told that Professor Flitwick was a dueling champion when he was younger, and maybe he was there to teach us." ”

"As long as it's not ......," Harry could say before he could finish his words, and he turned into a moan, and he saw Lockhart walking onto the stage, wearing a fuchsia robe, and he was shining brightly.

Lockhart was none other than Snape, dressed in his usual black clothes, with greasy hair draped over his shoulders, and looking at the students with cold eyes.

Lockhart waved everyone to silence, and then shouted, "Come around, come around, can everyone see me? Can you hear me? Great!"

"That's right, Professor Dumbledore has allowed me to start this little dueling club and train you enough to defend yourself in the way I have used countless times in case you need to defend yourself one day...... For more information on this, see my published work. ”

"I really don't understand. Ron sighed, and whispered in El's ear in a helpless tone, "Why does he sell his books all the time?" ”

"Alright, now for my assistant, Professor Snape. "He told me that he knew a thing or two about dueling, and he generously agreed to help me give me a little demonstration before class. ”

"This is just a demonstration, so don't worry, don't be afraid, I'll give you back your Potions teacher intact. ”
