Slytherin has a secret room, and that is also our Slytherin's own business, and outsiders are not qualified to intervene.

"Maybe know, but that's Slytherin's academy. They don't want to interfere too much, and who doesn't have a little secret? The other three academies are also hiding things from everyone, so it's even."

\"Like?" The students were very interested.

"I remember we were talking about Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets." Lockhart returned the topic, "If you are interested, you can check it yourself, in fact, each academy has its own dark history, Slytherin. The Chamber of Secrets is just one of them."

"And Ravenclaw?"

"some."

Lockhart was delighted to be able to divert the subject: "Like our Ravenclaw quote \"Witbeyndmeasureisman\'sgreatesttreasure: we usually understand it as "extraordinary intellect is the greatest wealth of mankind: right?"

■

Everyone nodded, especially the Ravenclaw school pupils

The Red Dan problem is that Ravenclaw died in the 0th century. At that time, Great Britain used a kind of Old English. In Old English, wit means \"length\'. mn is not only human, but also \"men\". ', so we can also interpret this sentence as "Extraordinary length is a man's greatest wealth" If we consider that Rowena Ravenclaw is a very beautiful woman with a daughter but never

Heard who her father was... uh... you know what I mean

The little eagles present were shocked, the Gryffindors laughed, and even the little swollen Hufflepuffs had to bow their heads to prevent others from seeing their expressions.

"Fortunately, you are also Ravenclaw. If others say these words, you will probably receive more than a dozen duel applications." The Slytherin student commented.

Chapter 70 New Book

Lockhart felt that he had said enough, and if he went on, Dumbledore would definitely blame him for leaking too much information to Miss Know-it-all, so he simply told a joke to divert everyone's attention.

Now it seems that this trick is very successful, and the little witches including Hermione covered their faces - the jokes Lockhart told are obviously not suitable for girls.

It's up to you to find the location of the next secret room! Lockhart Heart says

After the chat was over, Lockhart returned the carpet to its original shape and sent the students out.

After a while, Snape really came to his office.

"What the **** are you doing?" Snape asked angrily. "My students said they had to find the Chamber of Secrets before the other houses!"

"Wouldn't that be nice, Severus?" Lockhart replied casually, "I bet the lion cubs in Gryffindor would also like to find the Chamber of Secrets as soon as possible, so that they can give the Snake House one. A big slap in the face, which is exactly what Dumbledore ordered."

"But there are snakes there, and most likely it's a basilisk with Medusa blood!" Snape regretted, "I used moonstone powder as the anti-magic ingredient for your discoloration potion to save trouble. The essence of the juice should be used to protect the law, the kind that has been purified 12 times!"

Lockhart laughed dumbly: "It's still too late... You can use your method to remind the Savior and let them pay attention to protection."

As he was talking, Lockhart suddenly remembered something -- Snape's words just now

wake him up.

Strange, why is Voldemort not afraid to look at the basilisk? Even if the basilisk trusts V

Old Demon, does Voldemort trust the Basilisk? \Does the word "trust" ever appear in Voldemort's dictionary? Isn't he afraid that the basilisk will suddenly give himself a sudden attack? Or is he just so confident that he has complete control over the basilisk

■

No, he must have his own way of insurance.

Thinking of this, Lockhart began to recall all the signs of Voldemort he knew, and then he suddenly thought of one thing---something that Voldemort had.

It turns out that it is no wonder that he is not afraid of the basilisk!

How did Snape remind Harry that Lockhart died on Thursday?

Yu know

"Professor Lockhart!" Hermione came to ask for help with a look of horror, "Professor Snape said that the next class would be an antidote for the curse of blindness, and he hinted that \"disobedient poor students\' would take it personally. , to verify whether the antidote works... You know, that curse is really powerful..."

After sighing about Snape's proficiency in playing blackface, Lockhart took out several new pairs of contact lenses that had been prepared for a long time.

For the protective layer of the previous batch of contact lenses, I used moonstone powder, but for these pairs, I used the essence of Dharma tree sap, which has been purified 12 times... You should know what Dharma tree is, right? "

"I know, it's a kind of Yamanashi wood, the most effective wood for resisting black magic creatures and curses among the currently known woods!" Hermione immediately answered Lockhart's question.

"It turns out that there is such an effect... I mean, unfortunately this is not a class, I can't give you extra points. You can use these pairs of contact lenses first, if it's just that kind of curse, it should be... You know ."

"Thank you, Professor Lockhart!" Hermione replied sweetly, "I knew you would do something."

ashamed

Lockhart blushed with a rare blushing - Master Snape's credit was stolen from him again.

But to be a politician, you must first have the thick skin of greed for one's own merits. Lockhart feels that he is still ashamed, which only shows that he is not very mature.

Hermione slipped away happily with the things, believing that with these things, they would not die tragically under the gaze of the basilisk, at most, they would be petrified.

At this point, the preliminary task that Dumbledore handed to Lockhart has finally come to an end, and he now feels relieved.

Considering that there will be nothing new for a while, Lockhart feels that this is the time for his own personal gain, so he picks up the pen and prepares to start writing again.

He wanted to write a new book because he noticed that there seemed to be fewer letters from readers lately. This represents a not-so-good tendency—that Lockhart is slowly being forgotten.

It's no wonder, after all, he hasn't published a new book for more than half a year, and the last book "Me Who Knows Magic" is an autobiographical book, so book fans haven't seen the story of Jinjin for a long time, and their enthusiasm has diminished.

Therefore, it is most important for the author to keep on changing, even if it is slower for the sake of quality, but it must not be broken. Writing a new book is imminent.

He has already thought about the title of the new book, which is called "Exploring the Hogwarts Chamber of Secrets with the Basilisk" - of course, the title of the book will be written after the savior has killed the basilisk.

Considering that almost all wizards in the UK graduated from Hogwarts, I believe this

This book will surely evoke the nostalgic feelings of many people by then.

In the past few years, Lockhart has been publishing new books at a rate of almost one book per year, which is very rare in the wizarding world. In addition to Lockhart's continuous writing spirit, the high efficiency of the publishing house is also one of the reasons. .

Lockhart's cooperating publisher, Whits & Harder Books, is located at 129B South Diagon Alley. Because his books are still selling well, they have always enjoyed priority distribution rights.

After hearing that Lockhart was going to teach at Hogwarts, Ms. Logan, the editor in charge of the publishing house, was still very melancholy for a while - because she thought that he would not have a new book this year.

But Ms Logan was simply overjoyed when Lockhart's owl brought his letter.

Lockhart wrote in the letter that he was going to use his spare time as a teacher to write another book about the legendary secret room at Hogwarts. He had found some clues, and it was estimated that he should find it soon. Ask Is the Publishing House interested in publishing?

She almost ran upstairs and asked the boss and editor-in-chief Mr. Harder what he meant.

Mr. Harder even saved the hesitation time. He made a decisive decision and decided to apply to the Ministry of Magic for Lockhart in advance, and contacted the Daily Prophet and Wizard Radio to inquire about the advertisement. Sufficient resources are given.

He's no fool, a best-selling author with many fans and Hogwarts, where everyone went to school, the book's sales are predictable, and he won't turn down Kim Galleon, who is delivered to your door.

If he can't show enough support for Lockhart from the publishing house, then he will be poached by the people of the silent book company.

So Lockhart soon received an ebullient reply—not just in the content, but in the lipstick mark on his owl, Gray Gray.

"Ms. Logan asked you to bring this kind of \"message\' again..." Lockhart had a terrible headache, "This magic lipstick is very difficult to wash. "

Hui Hui uttered a dissatisfied cry, his eyes filled with condemnation, probably saying, "It's all your fault."

But it immediately looked at the snacks on Lockhart's table, and at the plate of dried meat, the meaning was self-evident - you have to pay enough before I forgive you.

Considering that there are too many owls in the Hogwarts Owl House, the big fat man may not be able to grab the mice to eat, so Lockhart had to feed the guy himself.

Lockhart opened the thick letter, and skillfully turned the pages of the letter six pages in a row, looking straight at the end of the letter, and sure enough he saw the main topic there.

What Mr Harder meant was that he wanted Lockhart to send out some samples before Christmas, so they could use the Christmas holidays for the first campaign, Candlemas and Easter for the second and third, and then at Released at the end of June.

After doing some calculations, Lockhart felt that the problem was not a big deal, and that half a year was enough for him to finish writing. So he wrote a reply letter saying yes and fed the owls

At.

He didn't wash his owl because he knew that even if it was washed, it would still be covered in lipstick when it came back.

After sending the owl away, Lockhart began to conceive a new book.

The new book, like the previous ones, needs to be written from a first perspective. Lockhart decided to start the story when he rescued Harry and Ron from the beating willow, and then came the one who was attacked. Cat, slowly tell how he discovered the Basilisk and the Chamber of Secrets through rigorous logic and reasoning, and finally defeated the black magic items left by Voldemort

In addition, in order to avoid the disgust of the Hogwarts professors, he would have to brag about those professors in the book. For example, Professor Sprout, who grows mandrakes, configures

Potions' Snape, etc., he needs to blow it up in exchange for letting the professors selectively ignore the truth of the truth.

Of course, the most important thing is to clean up Hagrid. Without this, it is estimated that Dumbledore would not have agreed to let him write the book.

In order to avoid lightning, the principal will definitely not allow him to directly write the content related to the Horcrux in the book, so the diary must not be mentioned.

Because the target audience is all wizards who have graduated from Hogwarts, he has already thought about the tone of the whole book, that is to use as many descriptions as possible, as many details of the environment as possible, to evoke the readers' memories, so that when describing the secret room Readers will have a sense of novelty.

It's like a gamer watching a video of a nostalgic game and suddenly finds that the old imitation Fu opera he has been playing for more than ten years still has easter eggs he doesn't know about. This kind of novelty is indescribable.

As long as this book is published, Lockhart feels that many passers-by will become fans, so if he goes into politics again, I believe that his support will be greatly expanded.

Just as Lockhart was constructing the outline, he heard the beeping sound from the window again.

Lockhart thought it was Ash and returned, but what flew in was an owl that Lockhart did not know.

He took the letter from the owl, found the Gringotts stamp on it, and opened it directly.

"Dear Mr. Lockhart, we have discussed the items you inquired about last week with our counterparts in Greece. They said that such items are generally not rumored, but considering your [family property (crossed out)] excellent reputation, As long as the price is right, we think that we can make an exception to \"rent\' one piece for you. The rent is 5000 gold Galleons, and there is no need to negotiate the counter-offer, thank you! —Your loyal friend, Ragno. "

Lockhart scrambled the letter into a ball. Although he was rich now, he couldn't let the goblins blackmail him. Sooner or later, he would have to have a "friendly" talk with them.

P.So routine Sunday py time

"The Witch Quit"

Introduction: An Qi transmigrated into a silver witch with silver hair and red eyes in the game.

No matter in which ending, the witch of silver, who is a scumbag woman, will be miserably smothered!

Before she could react, the Demon King arranged a new task for her. The task was very difficult, and there was a high probability of death.

Vd^md, my mother quit! "

The villain witch An Qi surrendered directly to the empire!

in prison.

An Qi actively accepted the reform, vigorously reported the demon king cadres, exchanged life experiences with the inmates, and promoted the truth, the good and the beautiful, just to get out of prison as soon as possible.

But she never expected it.

The imperial army who got her information was defeated continuously, and even the protagonists of the game, the hero of the holy sword, the saint of the church, and the imperial princess, all fell into flames and joined the Demon King's army.

On the day the Demon King's Army captured the imperial capital, An Qi was stunned when she looked at the group of women surrounding her.

"I swear, I really just want to accept the transformation!"

Are you women out of your mind?

Hey, hey, don't live, I'm a witch, not a succubus!

Chapter 71 The Second Attack

Following the end of the first week of Quidditch, the second week of the game was a big upset.

Slytherin, who had seven Nimbus 2001s, actually lost, and most of them lost to Gryffindor House, which was still propped up by sweeping five stars.

Considering that there was still a problem with Bludgers in the middle of the game, and they had been attacking Harry Potter, Slytherin's defeat was even more useless. They lost on their side at the right time and place. can be said.

And as the direct cause of this failure, Draco Malfoy couldn't hold his head up in the academy for a long time.

If it was said that he was defeated in an honorable manner, no one would blame him, but at that time he was busy laughing at Potter's embarrassment, but he didn't realize that the Golden Snitch was on his head. No one could forgive such a mistake.

"No wonder it took 7 brooms to buy him into the team. It's cheap." After the game, someone talked about it in private.

Although it was said in private, the voice they said was a little loud. In the closed Slytherin common room at the bottom of the lake, even the whispers would be amplified into public discussions, so Malfoy still listened to it. .

Because they were talking about senior classmates, and the family's wealth was not weak, Malfoy couldn't do anything to them, but he had to keep this grudge in his heart.

Since there was no way to retaliate, Malfoy had no choice but to vent.

So that night, Malfoy vented his energy on the dueling arena.

I have to say that as a thousand-year-old family, the Malfoy family's background is really not bad, at least he knows several little curses that no one else has heard of. Not to mention that this guy relied on his family background, and all kinds of magic props and potions were thrown out as if he didn't want money.

In the first game, I threw a few stealth bombs imported from Peru and secretly attacked with the Hand of Glory. Tomorrow I took out four or five swallowtail dogs from the magic bag, and I also dropped a swelling potion to make them bigger and faster. The little wizards of the grade, even those in the fourth grade are a little embarrassed.

Percy had to stop the game, and specifically called a meeting of the security team to discuss whether it was necessary to ban potions and magic items from the stage, because it was obviously unfair.

But in the end, the result of their discussion was "allowed to use", because Lockhart said that the purpose of the duel was to let everyone see various ways of fighting, which obviously included the use of props and potions.

"Besides, who would be stupid enough to use consumables all the time? Even for the purpose of condensing their real names, it would cost too much money, far more than buying Flux." The Ravenclaw people expressed their confusion.

"However, to avoid magical creatures that can hurt people, I recommend that the level of magical creatures allowed to be brought on the dueling table is limited to 2X or less in accordance with the standards of the Ministry of Magic," Percy said.

Fred and George giggled in unison.

\"What are you laughing at?" Percy wouldn't be polite to his two younger brothers.
