Now it's Christmas break, so there's a lot of parchment with messages on the bulletin board. It's all a message from the students.

At the end of Ted's morning workout, Neville and Neville go to the auditorium for breakfast, where they see Luna gluing parchment to the billboard.

"Huh? Have you lost something too? Ted asked curiously.

Generally, the stickers here are lost and found, found notices, pet search notices and the like.

As a result, Ted saw that the good fellow was a foot of parchment with a long strip of item names.

"You've lost so many things?" Ted asked.

Luna blinked, looked at the sign, and said softly, "Everyone always jokes with me, get my East XZ up, it's going to be a holiday, I have to ask them to give me back." ”

Luna's expression was flat, but Ted and Neville's faces weren't good.

What the hell is bullying!

"The first-grade girls' dormitory is so evil? I see, I'll ask you and ask them to give it back. ”

Ted then asked Hermione to help him find out.

It turns out that Luna is often the object of jokes from her classmates because of her eccentric behavior, and people call her the crazy girl Lovegood behind her back.

Classmates always steal her East XZ up, such as her weird butterbeer stopper necklace and carrot-like airship plum (a cherry-radish fruit) earrings......

In short, she became the object of everyone's teasing and ridicule.

So, she's a Ravenclaw, but her best friend is Ginny from Gryffindor.

People are social creatures, so they will always have malice towards maverick individuals, isolate or even bully individuals in the name of the collective. This is a manifestation of a lack of inclusion.

……

In the Ravenclaw common room, there was a group of first, second, and third-grade Ravenclaw students, about twenty or so.

Ted stood in front of the bust of Lady Ravenclaw, his face a little serious.

"I didn't expect to hear such a thing in our Eagle Yard where we chase wisdom. I've always thought it was only in the Slytherin bunch of polaristers...... This is shameful school bullying! ”

"Look at the legal loopholes and financial criminals in Azkaban, more than eighty percent of them came from our Eagle Courtyard. And most of them were also sent in by wizards from our academy! Take advantage of the rules and exploit the loopholes of the rules, and claim to be smart. ”

"We seek wisdom and knowledge, but I think that now that we are standing in front of the statue of Ms. Ravenclaw, we should seriously reflect on whether we really have extraordinary wisdom......

"If we can't even accept and tolerate our classmates who we get along with day and night. I think we've not only turned our backs on Lady Ravenclaw's path, we've disgraced Hogwarts as a school! ”

Ted had been talking for about ten minutes, and everyone in the room knew what had happened.

A few first-graders were already in tears.

When a new student enters the school and suddenly comes to an unfamiliar environment, there will indeed be a group behavior.

And the manifestations of this behavior also include xenophobia.

A maverick girl like Luna is generally an object of xenophobia. The freshmen huddle together with this xenophobia.

Ted already has a faint meaning of the leader of this generation, and his prestige is very high. Therefore, the internal meeting of the lower grades of the Eagle Academy was very successful.

Afterwards, Ted comforted Luna: "A lot of wizards aren't wise enough, even if they're assigned to Ravenclaw's ......"

Like Quirrell, like Lockhart, like Beetle Reporter Skeeter...... All graduated from Ravenclaw.

"Don't worry too much about that, it's just a little bit of a long life. Everyone should live as themselves, shouldn't they? ”

The little girl blushed and nodded her head as if she didn't understand, thanking Ted.

Her stuff had been returned by her naughty classmates, and two of her apologized.

Hermione scrutinized, "You're pretty good at comforting!" ”

Ted: Don't you know me yet?

……

It's mid-December, and it's getting colder. The weather is bad these days, gray, and it will snow at any time.

Ted: They all put on thick winter robes and scarf gloves.

Hallie has given up on night swimming, after all, the invisibility cloak does not protect it from the cold.

But Jerry still finds time every night to lose it~ can be called a Hogwarts nightcrawler.

At breakfast that day, Jerry said to his friends in a strange way, "I was in the main tower last night and found a number of spiders crawling out of the window through the cracks in the window. It's going to snow this winter, isn't climbing out looking for death? ”

Hermione looked at Ted curiously, "Don't spiders need to hibernate?" ”

Ted nodded: "Yes, spider species that don't need to hibernate won't survive the winter at all." Strange phenomenon......"

"Hey!" Ron exclaimed in pain, "Can we not mention spiders?" I can't eat. As he spoke, he took a bite of the chicken thigh, and one bite was a third.

"Okay~"

Ted knew that it might be because the basilisk was active and alarmed the spiders in the castle.

They even rebelled against their nature, preferring to die in the cold rather than stay in the castle. Sure enough, it's a natural enemy!

It is said that if you look at the basilisk, you will die, and the spider has eight eyes that have no eyelids, and they can't close their eyes or turn their heads. So the basilisk became the natural enemy of the spider.

It's a bit outrageous, but it's understandable in the wizarding world.

No one talked about the spider anymore, because it was eight o'clock tonight, and it was the first public event of Professor Lockhart's dueling club.

All interested young wizards can participate.

Lockhart consulted Dumbledore directly to set up a dueling club in the Great Hall.

What a scene!

Now, although it was still morning, Lockhart had already begun to dress up in his office, picking out seven or eight sets of wizarding robes alone, and then wearing a bow tie, hairstyle, and perfume......

He also constantly practiced his smile in front of the mirror. Highlight a specialty.

Now Lockhart is full of ambition with a hint of nervousness, and his emotions are quite excited, and there is a feeling of giving up his own people.

Lockhart: Do you dare to compete with me?!

At seven o'clock in the evening, dinner ended.

Many of the little wizards stayed in the auditorium, waiting for the show to begin.

Although Lockhart is a bit of a crotch, school life is really boring.

The little wizards lack entertainment, and now there is such a large-scale reality show to participate in, even if they feel that they are not good, they can't let it go.

Look at the excitement, the commonality of people.

It was almost eight o'clock, and there were quite a few people in the auditorium, and there were more than a hundred or so people.

That's already the number of students in four grades.

For example, the senior students in the fifth and sixth grades, they were more academically heavy, and they were more disdainful of Lockhart, so few came.

As the time approached, the young wizards became restless, talking to each other, laughing and scolding.

At this moment, the doors of the auditorium opened.

Lockhart, who was wearing a purple robe, took the lead, striding in, opening his arms as he walked, and the bangs on his forehead blown by the breeze were very energetic.

The little wizards were about to laugh, or applaud or something. I saw Snape following him, walking silently, his robe not moving much, the same as Snape who had floated in.

The look on Snape's face was as disgusting and disgusted as if he had just eaten a troll raw.

"Hah! Hello students~ I'm your dear Professor Lockhart! Lockhart opened his hands wide and made a sharp appearance.

"Recently, something bad has happened. So Dumbledore commissioned me to start the Dueling Club to teach you a little extra knowledge. So that you can be like me, in any situation, you can calmly protect yourself~"

The deliberately elongated tone, the yin and yang frustration is the same as singing a opera. The devil knows how long he's been practicing in the office.

His expression was as if he had been defeated alone, and Dumbledore had to personally visit the thatched house to invite him out of the mountain.

Lockhart tore off his expensive robe and threw it at the girls in the crowd.

"Then ~ start!"

Lockhart: Damn, I'm getting hot!

As he spoke, the long tables in the auditorium suddenly came together and became an extraordinarily long and wide platform with a carpet on top.

This scene is still very handsome. Lockhart had the house-elves rehearse five or six times.

Lockhart jumped onto the platform, at least with some agility.

"Now, let me introduce my assistant, Professor Snape." He stretched out his hand and motioned to Snape.

Snape, still with that gloomy expression, slowly walked onto the platform.

He crossed his arms to his chest, his wand in his hand, and his black robe shrouded him like a cloud.

Lockhart didn't care, and continued his performance: "Professor Snape has generously agreed to help me give you a demonstration, of course, I will never hurt him~" Lockhart-style grin.

Ted under the stage, they were like eating chili peppers, and their faces were so red that they couldn't hold back.

Neville lowered his head in embarrassment, he was embarrassed for Lockhart, his foot was already about to pierce the floor.

Hallie scoffed at Lockhart and whispered, "Although Snape is not very good, at the level of a peacock, I doubt he will die on stage!" ”

The Gryffindor boxing champion felt that this game was best to win or lose as well as decide life and death. She was annoyed by peacocks.

Ted laughed, "Didn't Professor Lockhart say that he would never hurt Snape, which shows that he is still very accurate in his perception of himself." ”

Hermione snickered.

Ron muttered with an ugly face, "It's better to die together!" ”

Jerry patted Ron on the shoulder vigorously and forced a smile: "Good brother, this is in my heart.

Soon, the two began.

He walked away with his back to each other, turned around and raised his wand in salute.

After all, this is a duel, with a bit of aristocratic style, it has to be good-looking, and it is a bit forced.

If it's that kind of life-and-death battle, it's naturally the first strike. It is best to sneak attack, poison if you can, and arrange for the mud truck to kill in advance if you can do it in advance. Implement the concept of unlimited fighting!

The two of them distanced themselves, took a stance, and raised their wands.

“1~”

“2~”

“3~”

"Except for your weapons~" Snape's spell was so fast that it was hard to hear, as if it was done with a buzz.

Lockhart probably didn't even react, because his body position didn't change before he was hit.

The whole person flew upside down for three or four meters, fell on the platform with a "poof", and looked at the sky with dull eyes......

Fortunately, the carpet is thick, otherwise it is easy to fall to death~

His wand was already flying high and had fallen into the crowd. Ron looked down and wanted to find it and kick it directly!

The scene was quiet for a while, and some of the distracted little wizards didn't even see what was happening, and the duel was over.

Or a good student who has a heart for the professor, leaned near Lockhart and called softly: "Professor? Professor Lockhart? ”

Professor Lockhart, you're not dead, are you?

"Uh~" Lockhart gasped and groaned, as if he had come back to his senses.

He pretended to be chic, but in fact struggled to sit up: "Ah! I just gave you a false example, and you should be careful of being attacked like me in the future. If I'm serious......"

At this time, he saw Snape's eyes, and the wand stretched out in his hand - if a fart pops out of his mouth, he will duel again!

Lockhart hurriedly shut up: "Now, let you experience it for yourself and start the duel!" He quickly slipped off the platform.

Everyone looked at each other: Huh? Why do you want us to duel, you didn't teach anything? You're here to, right?!
