Master Druid at Hogwarts

Chapter 278 Snape's Halloween Candy

"Me? I'm great!"

Lockhart's anger came and went faster, he showed a silly smile, slapped his forehead and said: "I see, you are worried about my ability to adapt the story, right?"

Then, without waiting for Professor McGonagall to respond, he patted his chest and said, "You can rest assured about this! No one knows how to adapt better than me! All my works are adapted from other wizards!"

Lockhart's words immediately caused an uproar in the audience, but he didn't seem to feel ashamed at all. Instead, he held his head proudly, as if he was very proud of this matter.

"Do you know what you're talking about?! Professor Lockhart!"

Professor McGonagall straightened his face and asked sharply.

She, who had known the truth from Dumbledore long ago, could no longer care about what was going on with Lockhart at this time, seeing that he had exposed the deception on his own initiative, she immediately led her to ask: "You mean, what did you say?" The stories in the book are all lies?!"

"Actually, it's not exactly a lie."

Lockhart shrugged, unaware of the strange gazes cast around him, or rather, he just didn't notice the strangeness in those gazes, and at the same time he was still enjoying the feeling of being watched.

So in a happy mood, he patiently explained to everyone: "I just replaced the protagonist in the story with myself, and then added some artistic processing."

"But this is deception!"

"Oh, my dear Professor McGonagall," Lockhart frowned, shook his head and sighed, "use your common sense to think about it. If people don't think that I did those things, the sales of the book will be poor." Far away.

The reader will not want to read about an ugly old American wizard who frees a village from the scourge of werewolves.Put his photo on the cover, it's not so ugly!He has no taste in his clothes.

And the witch who drove out the Wanlun ghost, she has a hairy chin!
I mean, think about it, if it wasn't for me, how could so many people enjoy these wonderful and funny stories? "

Lockhart was not ashamed, but said proudly, while Professor McGonagall just looked at him quietly, allowing him to reveal all his old secrets.

There was no sound in the auditorium, and everyone was stunned by Lockhart's shamelessness.

"So, that's why you keep all the things others do on your own account?"

Professor McGonagall folded his hands and asked with a sneer.

"Minerva, Minerva, it's not as simple as you make it out to be, and I've got a lot to do."

Lockhart shook his head and sighed, and began to count his "hardships"——

"I'm going to track these people down and ask them how they did what they did. Then I'm going to put an Amnesiac on them so they forget about it."

Speaking of this, Lockhart puffed out his chest vigorously, and said triumphantly: "If I have anything to be proud of, it is my Oblivion Curse."

Even Fish can see that at this moment Lockhart is no longer the pretentious pride of before, he is really proud of his Oblivion Curse level.

"You know, Minerva, I have to put in a lot of hard work. 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."

Lockhart put on a look of "I've worked so hard, why are you still laughing at me?" Professor McGonagall frowned. She was so disgusted by Lockhart's shameless words that she couldn't bear it anymore. down.

However, before she could draw out her wand to bring Lockhart down, the other party drew out her own wand instead.

"I'm sincerely sorry, Minerva, but I had to cast a Forgetting Curse on you. I can't let you spread my secret around. Otherwise, my book would never be sold..."

Lockhart's current thinking is obviously still a little confused. While enjoying the feeling of being watched by everyone, he thinks that he is only talking to Professor McGonagall.

Professor McGonagall looked at him with a livid face. Of course she wasn't worried about the other party's wand, not to mention that there were so many students and professors around, even if there was no one around, Professor McGonagall would not be afraid of Lockhart's threats. Just purely loathing this person.

On the other side, Professor Flitwick was trembling with anger. He was ashamed that Ravenclaw House had produced such a thing. The short stature jumped onto the teacher's long table and drew out his own wand.

It's just that there is someone who moves faster than him...

"Meow!"

(╬`Д)＝○#(￣#)3￣)
With an angry roar, Fish turned into a black shadow, and jumped from the Gryffindor long table to Lockhart's side in the blink of an eye. Before he had time to react, Fish's little fist hit It landed on Lockhart's face.

The familiar pain invaded Lockhart's cheek in an instant, waking up his mind from the confusion, but before Lockhart could react to what happened just now, the severe pain had already taken away all his consciousness , He only felt that when his eyes went dark, he didn't know anything.

"Oh!"

With a loud bang, Lockhart once again stuck his whole body against the wall, and then slid to the ground.

"what--!"

(●`Д●)
Fish, who had beaten Lockhart into the air, landed lightly on the teacher's long table, with his hands propped on the table, his back arched high, a pair of cat ears pressed into the shape of wings, and the hair on his tail exploded, facing Lockhart, who had already fainted, made a fierce threat.

Professor McGonagall on the side froze for a moment, then went forward with a smile on his face and hugged Fish off the table.

"Well, he's passed out."

Professor McGonagall kissed Fish's little cheek, and happily comforted the furious kitten.

At the same time, the students below also exploded.

"Professor! Is what Lockhart just said true?!"

"That guy is really a liar!"

"My God! I thought he was just ignorant, but I didn't expect him to steal other people's achievements!"

"Are all the people in the Ministry of Magic stupid?! They even awarded him the Merlin Medal!"

The students were excited. They were already very dissatisfied with Professor Lockhart, but now they knew that the other party was a liar, and they immediately took advantage of the situation to make a fuss.

Dumbledore stood up amidst the din and din.

"The voice is loud."

He first used a loudspeaker spell on himself, and then said: "Everyone be quiet!"

After the students were all quiet, Dumbledore continued: "As for Professor Lockhart's question, he was obviously in a wrong state just now, so what he said may not be true."

Although Dumbledore already knew what was going on with Lockhart, Dumbledore still had to put on a show, otherwise he would let those troublesome school managers know that even if he was the headmaster, he would still be a little bit embarrassed if he recruited him even though he knew he was a liar. troublesome.

"The school will find someone to verify the situation as soon as possible. If things are really as he said, then I can only dismiss Mr. Gilderoy Lockhart."

Dumbledore's promise barely appeased the students.

However, among the group of professors, some people don't want to procrastinate any longer.

"Sorry, Mr. Principal, may I say a few words."

Professor Snape stood up and said with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

"Of course, Severus."

Dumbledore made a "please" gesture. In fact, after seeing Lockhart's state just now, he already had some guesses in his mind, but what he couldn't figure out was...

How did Snape drug Lockhart?
And, why drug at this time?
"What Mr. Lockhart said just now should be true."

Snape qualified Lockhart's words as soon as he came up, and then he explained to everyone: "During Halloween, he and Potter came to me to ask for candy with Fish, and I only prepared Fish's share..."

He glanced indifferently at Lockhart who was still lying at the foot of the wall, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"Probably because I accidentally mixed in the medicine I was developing when I was filling the candy."

Although Snape said he had mixed it up by accident, everyone knew that he definitely did it on purpose.

"My new medicine is to combine the effects of Veritaserum Potion, Nagging Soup, Confusion Potion, Crazy Element, Hatred Potion... and other potions. Judging from Mr. Lockhart's performance just now, the effect is not bad?"

It was said that it was a new drug, but Snape actually mixed a little of the above-mentioned potions into it at that time, and he didn't know what the specific effect would be. It was obviously a surprise to let Lockhart, a bastard, reveal himself.

The only pity is...

He glanced at Harry Potter and pursed his lips regretfully.

Sensing Snape's gaze on him, Harry felt a chill run down his back.

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and patted his chest thankfully...

Fortunately, I was smart and threw away the Halloween candy Snape gave me early.

As for the series of potion names reported by Snape just now, none of them sound like fun stuff!
