From Hogwarts to Strixhaven

Snape's voice undoubtedly let Lomat, who was in a desperate situation, saw hope, and he hurriedly climbed up the pole.

"Severus! You won't look at me and die in front of you, right?"

"Maybe? Do you have to try it?" Snape thought faked thinking for a while before he said slowly.

"Please, Severus ..." Lohart gasped and begged without dignity. "I am a shameful liar! I cheated Dumbledore and cheated everyone in the school. In order to get greater reputation through teaching in Hogwarts! "

"I'm not surprised," After experiencing such a bad Christmas holiday, Snape finally felt happy for a long time on Lohart. "You are not a real smart guy when you are in school, right? , Jidro ""

"Oh! Don't talk nonsense again, Severus!" Lohart escaped a peck from the bird and snake again. This newborn baby still does not know how to use his body shape to obtain the advantage of fighting. Stepping the pointed beak to peck the enemy.

"I know you have been staring at the position of Professor of Dark Magic Defense! I can tell Dumbledore, let you give you this position!"

"I'm afraid Dumbledore will not agree." Snape said leisurely.

"I can ask him!" Lohart mourned, "My novels are all false! It is an American bald old wizard that makes a whole village get rid of the werewolf: it is a mouthful of driving off Wanlun female ghosts I bought their stories for the old witch!

"You are really a wizard who is good at taking shortcuts, Jidro?" Snape shook his head.

Lohart had no strength at all. When he saw that the bird snake launched an attack again, he couldn't even turn around. He could only curl into a ball, waiting for the advent of death.

"Quickly imprisonment!" Snape said with a wand, a thick hemp rope flew out of the top of his wand, which would be tied to the bird and snake that almost occupied the entire boat house.

"Thanks!" Lohart saw that he was saved, and did not let go of the opportunity to hit the water dog, raised his wand and thought wildly, "flames!"

However, his spell was vague, and his hand holding the wand was also weak and weak. This flame mantra rebounded back on the beautiful feathers of the bird and snake, and went straight at the Snape in the corner.

"No medicine to save!" Snape waved his wide black robe sleeves, and bounced the spell again at once, and fell on the top of Lahart's head.

The golden hair nourished by the bird's snake egg yolk was burned immediately, while Lohart himself found the devastating fact after a few breaths.

"Ah!! My hair!" Lohart slammed his head with both hands, shot several times in the same place in place without aim, and then pierced into the water channel in the middle of the boat house.

Hogwarts's boat house is an open wooden building structure. It is said to be a house, but it is better to be a shed with several doors.

Because there is no wall at the side of the Black Lake, but the slope that extends into the water between the two roads and a rectangular waterway inside the ship's house.

Every year, the small wooden boats that the newborn will enter the inside of the ship's house along the waterway. After that, the little wizards can come down from the boat, and re -embark on the ground along a stone steps that also reach into the water.

Except for the new students enrolled once a year, when the small wooden boats in the boat house are not used, they will be buckled upside down on the wooden frame and placed on the stone floor of the boat house. The wooden boat on the ground drilled out.

Now that his head is on fire, Lohart's choice to jump into the water to extinguish the fire, but it is also a clever way. But now it is January, and Hogwarts is built on the Scottish highlands with an average altitude of one -end. Even the Black Lake has been frozen. It is no reason to be spared.

So after a sullen sound of "咚", Lohart's eyes turned and fainted.

Snape on the shore ignored Lohart lying on the ice, but chose to continue the curse and tighten the rope that tied the bird snake.

As a magical creature that can change the body shape, the young bird and snake quickly changed the strategy after experiencing the panic at the beginning, reducing the body shape to escape from the gap between the rope.

Almost a moment, the bird snake gained freedom again.

The free bird and snake, the cold wind blowing from the icing lake, expanded to the extreme, and even the ice surface in the waterway in the boat house was crushed.

On the ice surface, the professor of the black magic defense lectured alone was crooked, and the tilted ice surface rolled into the pierced water.

The lake was poured out of the flames above the head of the human -shaped candle, and it also awakened the consciousness of Lohart. After a while of water that just over the knee, Lohart finally exposed his head to the water, and immediately saw the thick abdomen of the bird snake.

"Ah-" Lohart screamed.

The light of a few spells flashed from the air, and the action of the bird snake immediately became slow, as if drinking too much wine in the boat house, but before falling, it still noticed that the maximum creature in the boat house - —Lohart.

So he opened his mouth and swallowed Lohart's half of his body in a bite, leaving only two legs to stay outside and swinging.

"We should help!" The three little ones outside the door were also confused by the twists and turns of the battle. Hermione couldn't help but whispered, "But it's better not to let Professor Snape notice us... The holiday is about to end, maybe he will deduct our points."

"Harry! Don't you speak snake language?" Ron's trick came up again, "As long as you order the bird snake..."

"Harry can't do it!" Hermione said.

"I haven't even tried yet..." Harry was trying to make a hissing sound, but he was interrupted before he could get his mouth ready.

"The bird snake is not a snake, but a bird." Hermione rolled her eyes and began to popularize science for them, "Just like the basilisk is a snake, and the cockatrice is a chicken."

"What's the connection? I feel like you're talking about a tongue twister..." Ron was completely dumbfounded. He had never heard of those two names.

"They are both monsters with chicken heads and snake heads at the same time. They look very similar, but the chicken body snake is only poisonous, while the cockatrice can petrify people." Hermione continued to explain, and her tone became gentle. Because she found that the bird snake that bit Lockhart had already taken him to the ground and did not continue to attack. It was obviously unconscious.

As a magical animal that had just hatched for less than a month, the young bird snake was not very able to resist the wizard's spell.

Snape waved his wand, and Lockhart, who was covered with saliva, was pulled out of the bird snake's mouth. The usually bright and beautiful professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts was already very embarrassed.

The carefully selected robes turned into dusty rags, the shiny and healthy red skin was now full of wounds, the wound on the arm was still bleeding, and the hair that was carefully maintained with bird snake egg yolk had completely turned into charcoal. Even a skilled healer like Madam Pomfrey might not be able to restore the charcoal to its original state.

"Are you okay, Professor Lockhart?" Snape asked knowingly, poking the wound on his arm with his wand, and barely chanted a healing spell.

"Yes, I'm fine, very good..." Lockhart's condition was obviously not very good, but after realizing that he was temporarily out of danger, the first thing he did was not to check the wound, but to run to the waterway to check his reflection.

The Lockhart in the reflection was completely different from the impression of himself, so much so that he couldn't even recognize himself at the first time.

"My hair--" Lockhart howled miserably, with almost no tears in his eyes, "I just took care of it! How can I post autographed photos with this condition? My fans will be heartbroken!"

"If you want, I can help you find Quirinus's turban. He used it to protect himself very well." Snape had already squatted down beside the bird snake and began to examine the temporarily unconscious magical animal.

Lockhart did not speak for a long time, still immersed in great sorrow.

Snape thought he didn't understand his humor, and further explained: "You don't know who Quirinus is? He was the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor last year, but he was found to be a dark wizard in the second half of the semester, and his whereabouts are unknown."

A gust of cold wind blew, and Lockhart, who was soaked all over, shivered: "I... I can't... Severus... Please don't tell anyone about the previous things... It will ruin my image... My books will never sell again... The British wizarding world will be eclipsed because of the loss of an adventurer like me, a best-selling author, an honorary member of the Dark Arts Defense League, and a recipient of the Order of Merlin, third class! This will be the darkest day in the British wizarding world!"

Even the biting cold wind couldn't make Lockhart's long string of slang stutter.

Even Snape, who had taught at Hogwarts for many years and had seen countless idiots, was amazed at Lockhart's eccentricity and didn't know what to say for a moment.

But Snape is not an ordinary person after all. His psychological quality has been tested by the Dark Lord and the White Lord. He paused and said, "If you tell these words to the wizard jury of the Wizengamot, maybe they will allow you to take your works and the Order of Merlin to Azkaban."

The bird snake that fainted on the ground made a hoarse hissing sound, which attracted Snape's attention again. The huge body shrank rapidly, and then disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The only thing that can prove that the bird snake really existed is the wooden boat fragments all over the floor of the boathouse and the remaining bird snake eggs.

No mistake, one post, one content, one book, one bar!

Seeing Snape turn his head, Lockhart's eyes turned and reached out to pick up his wand from the waterway. Fortunately, the wand was made of wood, otherwise it would have sunk to the bottom this time.

"Sorry... Severus, I can't let you tell anyone!" Lockhart pointed his wand at Snape and shouted, "Obligate!"

"Expelliarmus!" Harry, who saw everything outside the door, jumped out.

Before Lockhart could cast his spell, the red disarming spell hit Lockhart's body first. He was knocked back a few steps and fell into the waterway, falling on a piece of broken ice floating on the water, with half of his body submerged in water.

The cherry wood wand flew high and was caught by Harry.

"Potter!" Snape's pale cheeks trembled, and he spit out Harry's name through gritted teeth, "Why are you here! Do you think you saved me? Do you want to be a hero like Gryffindor again?"

Harry wanted to refute a few words, but he really didn't have the courage to look Snape in the eye, just lowered his head without saying a word.

"Professor..." Hermione walked in from outside the door, holding up the parchment in her hand, "We are just here to hand in homework - Lockhart classroom layout, about the Chamber of Secrets..."

Snape's face became even gloomier, as if water could drip out: "Where is the other member of the iron triangle? Where is the red-haired Weasley?"

"Here..." Ron walked into the boathouse with his head held high.

Before Snape got angry again, Hermione quickly finished what she had said before: "And there is the basilisk inside!"

Hearing the word "basilisk", Snape's black eyes nailed Hermione's face and turned around, then walked quickly to her and snatched the parchment.

"Obviously your Defense Against the Dark Arts professor has no good intentions. Maybe he just uses you to collect materials for his book..." Snape said in a deep voice after quickly reading Hermione's paper, and quickly rolled up the parchment again.

"Miss Granger, when did you find out?" Snape stared at Hermione's face.

"Before the Christmas holidays..." Hermione whispered.

"Before the headmaster's permission, you are not allowed to tell anyone what happened here, including Professor McGonagall! Otherwise, you will wait to go home and grow pumpkins!" Snape said viciously, "Now, get out!"

The three little wizards didn't dare to breathe and went out in disgrace.

"Potter!"

Harry, who was about to reach the door, trembled all over and was scared to death.

"Wand!"

Harry and Ron looked at each other in horror, thinking that Harry was going to be expelled because they had heard how his wand was broken in Hagrid's hut.

Harry turned around stiffly, walked to Snape tremblingly, and handed over his wand.

Snape was so angry that he laughed, pointed at Lockhart who fell on the ice floe, and said, "His!"

Harry suddenly realized it, and quickly handed over the cherry wood wand in his hand, and then ran away.

Before leaving, he kindly turned back to remind Snape: "Professor Snape... those bird snake eggs should belong to Ivy..."

"I know!" Snape replied unhappily.

————

"So, this is why our Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is here in such a mess?" Dumbledore sat behind his desk and sighed deeply.

Then he looked at Ivy, who was standing aside and watching the show, and said, "Can Professor Victor teach us Defense Against the Dark Arts for another half a year?"

"Don't even think about it!" Ivy replied immediately. He was called to take the bird snake eggs. "I killed Quirrell last year, and Harry killed Lockhart this year. You should ask him to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts!"

"Maybe, I can do it for you." Snape, who had exaggerated the facts (mainly the part about Harry), recommended himself.

"Thank you for your kindness, Severus." Dumbledore said softly, "You are already too busy. I can't let people say that Hogwarts is exploiting faculty and staff..."
