A certain Hogwarts rune professor

Chapter 86 Accident
At some point, Harry, Ron, and Hermione also arrived. Hermione was still wearing the huge mask and knitted hat, but her eyes had returned to brown.

This meant that she was more proficient in Light Polymorph—of course, it could also be the effect of Madam Pomfrey's potion.

Ron grabbed Harry and Hermione, who hid behind a pillar.He probed his head and said, "Cornelly Fudge, Lucius Malfoy, and Rita Skeeter! What day is it today, three annoying ghosts are here at the same time!"

Harry asked, "Who is Cornelius Fudge?"

"He's the Minister of Magic and my dad's boss. But he's a big shot, and he looks down on my dad's work, you know, dealing with Muggle items and things like that, which has never been taken seriously..." Ron muttered.

Hermione's eyes were fixed on the woman Rita Skeeter, carefully studying her back.

"That woman is Rita Skeeter? She looks like she has terrible taste." Hermione complained about her outfit.

"I agree with you, if you ask me, Lockhart is better than her in this respect, and it's not like she doesn't have money... Oh, Merlin!" Ron wailed suddenly.

"what happened?"

"Over there, look over there," Ron pointed in another direction, "Lockhart is here too, four bastards gathered!"

Sure enough, Harry looked up and saw Gilderoy Lockhart in a gorgeous robe, with a charming smile on his face, passing the little wizard to Fudge and Lucius.

"He's like a peacock with its tail turned on." Ron's expression was very resistant-he was going to report to Lockhart's office tonight.

Lockhart saluted gracefully, with a bright smile, "Minister Fudge, Mr. Malfoy, it's an honor to meet you."

Fudge was stunned for a moment, and then stretched out his hands with a smile on his face, "Mr. Lockhart, hello, I have read all your books, and I must admit, I have gained a lot..."

Lockhart said modestly: "I just did what I should do, Minister. I can't turn a blind eye to poor people in trouble."

Fudge expressed emotion: "There are not many responsible adventurers like you."

Lockhart wanted to say something more, but Dumbledore stood up and said with a smile: "Fudge, let's take a look at the monster in the Chamber of Secrets first." He waved his wand, making the invisible protective barrier around the basilisk disappear .

"Oh, Dumbledore, yes, that's right." Fudge squeezed the top hat on his hand, turned around, and ordered to the tall, dark-skinned man next to him: "Kingsley, go check."

The man named Kingsley stepped over the railing and walked up to the basilisk. Wearing a pair of dragon leather gloves, he carefully examined the remains of the basilisk.

Felix didn't go forward, he saw a familiar figure, it was the Ravenclaw witch named Luna.

He paced over and stood beside her, "Luna."

"I like your present very much, Professor Hype." She said in a singing voice, her eyes fixed on Rita Skeeter's jeweled glasses, "I think she has a bad memory."

"Why do you say that?"

"She regretted leaving something important at home," Luna said.

Felix looked at Rita Skeeter who kept directing his assistants to take pictures, he was noncommittal.

"Have you made friends with the little girl with the flaming hair?"

Luna gave him a surprised look. "We are already friends." She said thoughtfully, "I think the rooster doll I gave her played a big role."

"Yeah!" Felix smacked his lips.

Not long after, Kingsley reported to Fudge: "Minister, it is confirmed that it is a basilisk, and it is no longer in danger."

"Very good, Kingsley." Fudge was about to take a closer look at the basilisk, but before he could take a step, Rita Skeeter's voice stopped him.

"Secretary Fudge, I think we should take a photo together for tomorrow's front page." Skeeter said with a broad smile.

"Oh, of course there is no problem."

Several adults present stood in a row, and Rita Skeeter rushed over and pulled Lockhart aside who was occupying the center position, "This is your place!"

Lockhart stood reluctantly on the edge.

"Professor Flitwick?"

Flitwick waved his hand and stepped aside.

"Click!" There was a shutter sound, and the photo was frozen.

Fudge, Dumbledore, Malfoy, Professor McGonagall, and Kingsley stand together with a giant basilisk in the background.

After finishing today's task, a few people stood beside the basilisk, Fudge stepped forward, puffed out his stomach, and carefully observed the basilisk, "This thing has been in Hogwarts for thousands of years, how does it hide its innocence?" discovered?"

Professor McGonagall explained: "Through the pipelines all over Hogwarts - the school has undergone several transformations, and the internal pipelines are so dense that few people can figure out the whole picture, and they have never been thoroughly checked."

Fudge didn't speak, and discussed in a low voice with Lucius beside him.

Lockhart also came over, and he looked at the basilisk, "It doesn't look too difficult to solve. I once encountered a water monster that could fill half a lake." He tapped the basilisk with his wand. The basilisk's fangs were just about to say a witty remark, but the wand in his hand immediately made a "sizzling" sound, "Oh, my God!" He frantically flicked the wand.

The young wizards watching on the side quickly retreated more than ten meters with great foresight, as if fleeing from famine.

But the Minister of Magic, who was looking down at the basilisk's head, was in trouble, and a drop of saliva and venom was thrown on Fudge's face, causing him to let out an earth-shattering scream.

Lucius Malfoy quickly set up a magical barrier, watching the farce with cold eyes.He maintained his magic and retreated, but just two steps back, he was blocked by a ring of golden light.

Felix did not know when he raised his wand, "Little wizards, step back."

Several professors were doing the same thing, and the protective magic of Flitwick, McGonagall, and Dumbledore made the center of the courtyard colorful.

Hagrid stretched out his big palm-like hands, picked up the fallen little wizards one by one, and pushed them away.

But Lucius was closest to Fudge and Lockhart. He was separated by layers of magic, and a drop of venom mixed with saliva fell on his armor spell, making a "ZiZi" " sound.

He yelled palely, "Stop, you idiot!"

Lockhart flicked his wand a few times before he realized what he had done. He stood in front of Fudge in a panic, at a loss as to what to do, "Oh, Minister Fudge, I'm sorry!"

But Fudge's screams became louder and louder, his face became pitch black, and the range expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The scene was like a mess.

"Quiet!" Dumbledore yelled, he dispelled the magic in front of him, stepped forward a few steps, and pressed his wand against Fudge's face, layer after layer of golden light diffused from the tip of the wand, expanding the The black marks stopped.

Dumbledore took a closer look, "Further treatment is needed, Fudge, I will take you to the school hospital."

"No, send me to St. Mungo's! My face is ruined! Gilderoy Lockhart, I'm going to put you in Azkaban#￥%&...#&...#" Fudge spouted Spit out a stream of obscenities.

"Oh, my God." Professor McGonagall pursed his lips, staring at the mad Fudge, resisting the urge to give him a stun spell.Finally, the Transfiguration professor yelled at the young wizards around him: "You, all the little wizards! Get out of here and go to class!"

The little wizards scattered like birds and beasts.

Rita Skeeter excitedly snatched the camera and pressed the shutter like crazy. Her mouth was wide open, and her two huge gold teeth glistened in the sunlight.

"Look at that woman, I can see her back molars!" Ron, who was hiding by the courtyard pillar, pointed at Rita Skeeter and said, "She got big news today!"
