HP calls me Queen

While Delphine was talking to Draco, Harry and Ron, who hid in the closet in the faculty lounge, also heard news that horrified them.

The secret room was opened, and a student was captured. It was Ron's sister, Ginny!
Ron was very anxious when he got the news, but that was his sister!Although he usually snatches his snacks, destroys his collection of posters, and sues his parents for being black.But that was his own sister after all.

After the professors left, the two came out of the closet with nervous expressions on their faces.

"What to do, what to do!" Ron spun around in a hurry: "Ginny was caught in the secret room, what should I do!"

"We..." Harry was also in a hurry, but he forced himself to calm down and think for a while: "Let's check on Delphine first? I hope she's okay! Well, she's definitely okay, she's so powerful! Then we Let's find Professor Lockhart together. Didn't Professor McGonagall say that he was going to deal with that monster? We have to tell him that the monster is a basilisk! At least let him be prepared!"

"But, can that peacock man really be able to deal with the basilisk?" Ron was confused.

"Let's go and have a look first before we talk about it!" Harry also had a face full of pain when he heard this.

As soon as the two went out, they met Daphne and Draco who happened to come over outside the door.

"Delphine, you're fine, great!" Harry said happily when he saw Delphine.
"Malfoy, why are you here?" Ron saw Draco, as if seeing something dirty, with disgust on his face.

"What's none of your business?" Draco said to Ron, rolling his eyes.Then, the eyes of the two began to discharge.

"That's all right, all right, I'm still in the mood to fight, and I don't want to see when it is!" Daphne wanted to cover her face helplessly, and then turned to Harry, who was also confused: "What's the situation now? Is there an accident? gone?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Harry nodded again and again: "Something has happened, Ginny, Ginny was taken into the Chamber of Secrets by the heir!"

Ron also realized that now was not the time to be angry with Draco, but he also looked at Delphine with a worried face.Although Miss Delphine's head has not been fully recognized by other colleges, at least she hasn't followed suit.But in everyone's mind, the status of Daphne's eldest sister has basically been decided.After all, the strength she showed was strong enough to deter all little wizards.

"Ginny?" Delphine pretended to be surprised. She didn't know how her acting skills were, but it seemed that the other three had no doubts.

"Yes, we just overheard what Professor McGonagall said!" Harry replied: "Professor McGonagall arranged for Professor Lockhart to open the chamber of secrets to deal with the heir and the monster. But I don't know if he knows that the monster is a snake Strange, we are going to remind him!"

"Professor Lockhart? Then let's go!" Delphine thought this was very interesting. At this moment, she had already confirmed that Lockhart was really a hidden master.So what is his purpose?How would he deal with the situation in front of him?Will it show its strength?

The four hurried to Lockhart's office.

The faculty lounge is on the first floor, while Lockhart's Defense Against the Dark Arts professor's office is on the third floor. In addition, the stairs of the college are as unwieldy as ever, and it took the four of them a while to arrive.As soon as I arrived at the door, I heard a ping-pong-pong movement inside.The sound was loud, like the sound of objects colliding, accompanied by the sound of hurried footsteps.

Harry looked at Delphine, who nodded.Harry stepped forward and knocked on the door.

It was suddenly quiet inside.Then the door opened a very thin crack, and they saw one of Lockhart's eyes peering out.
　"Oh...Mr. Potter...Mr. Weasley, and Miss Lestrange and Mr. Malfoy?" His expression was a little strange, obviously surprised to see the people in front of him, at least from the look of his expression of.He opened the door a little wider, and said in a hurried tone: "I'm busy now. I hope you can talk quickly"
　"Professor, we have something to tell you," Harry said equally quickly, "We think it will be of some help to you."
　"Well... that's it... Actually it's not so... I mean..." Lockhart's exposed half of his face was very nervous, and he seemed to be entangled for a while, and finally said in a very reluctant tone: "Oh... … All right."
　He opened the door and let Harry and Delphine in.
　His office was almost completely emptied.Two large suitcases lay open on the floor.Clothes of every color, emerald green, lavender, dark blue, were piled haphazardly in one of the suitcases.All kinds of books are piled up in another suitcase.Those photos that used to hang on the wall were stuffed into a cardboard box on the table.
Well, the corner of Delphine's mouth twitched, an exquisite space folding spell.Each of these suitcases is bigger than this office!

　"Where are you going?" Harry asked, he seemed to have guessed something, his face was ugly.
　"Well, yes, yes," said Lockhart, ripping a life-size poster of himself from the back of the door and rolling it up, "an urgent call...  , Urgent notice, very urgent, can't escape... have to go..."
　"Then what about my sister?" Hearing this, Ron shouted impulsively before Harry, Delphine and the others had time to react.After all, Ginny was his own sister, and he was the most anxious person here.
　"Ah, as for that...it's really unfortunate." Lockhart said, avoiding their eyes, he pulled open a drawer and put the contents into a large bag. I regret it more than I..."
　"You're the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher!" Harry said eagerly, and he was sure that Lockhart was going to run away: "You can't go now!So many evil things are at work here now! "

"Well, well, how should I put it... When I accepted the position..." Lockhart muttered indistinctly, stacking socks on top of the clothes in the box, "the work regulations did not include... I didn't expect...that there would be such a dangerous thing..."
"But...but aren't you amazing?" Although it was expected, Lockhart's cowardice was beyond Harry's expectations: "You have written so many amazing books? You are not, you should be very Are you a powerful magician?"

"That's a novel, a novel!" Lockhart rolled his eyes and said in a sly tone: "A novel is the result of artistic processing, understand?"

"But, didn't you say that those are all your personal experiences?" Ron was also impatient. Although Delphine was by his side, a professor would still appear to be more reliable than a student at this time.Even if this professor has always seemed unreliable.

"My dear child," Lockhart straightened up and looked at Harry with a frown, as if looking at a fool: "Move your little brain, which may not be very bright, and use your common sense to think about it." The book won't sell well if people don't think I did those things. Readers won't want to read about an ugly old American wizard who saves a village from werewolves The scourge. Put his picture on the cover, it's not ugly. He has no taste in clothes. And the witch who exorcised the Wanlun female ghost, she is a mouth! I mean, you want want to see..."

"So, you put all the things that other people do on your own account?" Draco couldn't help but speak.But his expression is not angry, but a kind of surprise of "fuck, there is such an operation".

"Yes, yes!" Lockhart shook his head impatiently and said, "But it's not as simple as you said. I also have a lot of work. I want to track down these people. Ask them how they can Do those things. And then I'll put a forgetting charm on them so they'll forget about it. If I'm proud of anything, it's my forgetting charm. You guys You know, I have to put in a lot of hard work. You know, it’s not just book signings and celebrity photos. If you want to be famous, you have to be prepared to work hard for a long time.”

Harry, Ron, and Draco all looked incredibly confused.Only Daphne nodded seriously: "Don't say it, it's really not an easy thing to say."

Lockhart looked at Delphine fearfully, almost saying directly, I'm only worried about you here.But he still put the lid on the suitcase and locked it.

"Let me think about it," he said with his head bowed, his voice sounded like a broken thought: "Everything is packed, there is nothing left behind, and the photos and letters from fans are also packed away. Well, there should be nothing left behind... ...Then, there is only one thing missing..."

He turned to the four of them: "I'm sincerely sorry, children. I have to use some means to prevent you troublemakers from spreading my secret to the world! Then my book will not be easy to sell!" , he quickly pulled out his wand and pointed at Delphine.

Lockhart's speed is really not fast, but if it was Harry, Ron and others before, I'm afraid they still can't react.But this school year, Delphine has organized no less than ten duel clubs, and Harry, Ron, and Draco have participated in almost every time, and they are very knowledgeable about wizard duels.Very fast!

Harry's reaction was the fastest, and he was obviously prepared for it.He drew out his wand almost immediately, and said the spell before Lockhart: disarm you!
Delphine once said in the Dueling Club that magicians have more than one way to duel. Proficiency in all kinds of magic is certainly a fighting method, but it is not a bad direction to specialize in one or two kinds of magic.

For Delphine's words, Harry is convinced most of the time.He has no family and no means of learning much magic.Therefore, the path he chose is to eat all kinds of tricks, and specialize in disarming spells!To this end, Harry worked hard on his casting speed, super proficiency in spells and magic moves.

Extraordinary proficiency brings extraordinary casting speed.During duel club activities, many senior students who clearly mastered a lot of powerful magic were often confiscated with their wands because they were not as fast as Harry when they fought against Harry. My magician... Well, not as good as an ordinary person.After all, there are only a handful of people who can master spellcasting without a wand at the student stage.And Hogwarts is currently in school, it seems that there is no one.

Lockhart's speed was not as fast as Harry's, or the speed he showed was not as fast as Harry's. He was hit by the spell immediately, and his whole body flew out and hit the wall.The wand was also out of hand.

The corner of Delphine's mouth twitched, and she was the only one who noticed: Lockhart was knocked into the air first, and then his wand fell out of his hand.This is completely inconsistent with the magic characteristics of the Disarming Charm.The order of effects of knocking away the wand and knocking it back!
