Lin Xiao was not surprised when he heard this question. He probably knew the cause of the whole thing from the time he gave the notebook to Dumbledore.

You must know that Dumbledore was the professor of Transfiguration at that time. He was the one who arranged Hagrid in the school as a hunting ground guard against all the opinions. He always believed that Hagrid was wronged, but he did not find any evidence from Tom to prove that Hagrid was innocent. He believes that Myrtle's death must be related to Tom.

"Of course we do, but we have to deal with the matter in the Chamber of Secrets first so that Principal Dumbledore can reasonably go to the Ministry of Magic and lift the restrictions on Hagrid."

After hearing Lin Xiao's explanation, Harry felt relieved, as he thought.

On Monday morning, news spread throughout the school that Colin Creevey had been attacked and lay in hospital.Suddenly, the little wizards in the school started talking and became suspicious.

Lin Xiao could see a large group of first-year wizards huddled together in the corridor every time, as if they were afraid that they would be attacked if they acted alone.

During this time, some talented little wizard spread the word that buying amulets could protect them from attacks. This practice soon became popular in the school.Among them, Neville Longbottom bought a big smelly green onion, a pointed amethyst and a rotting salamander tail.As a result, the Gryffindor students told him not to worry about being in danger because he was a pure-blood wizard.

Neville rejected their offer on the grounds that Filch was a squib, and he was almost a squib too.

Lin Xiao was not affected by these things at all. He went to the Room of Requirement without hesitation and practiced the Fire Spell. As time went by, he became more and more proficient in the use of the Fire Spell.

Because of Lin Xiao's presence, Harry and the others did not choose to cause trouble in Snape's Potions class so that they could borrow his private collection, brew compound potions, and pretend to be Goyle and Crabbe to confirm that Della The news about whether Cole Malfoy is the heir of Slytherin.

However, Ron, who was in the trio, wanted to find out. After all, Draco's father, Lucius, often promoted the Weasley family as a pure-blood shame, which led to Ron and Draco in the school. The two often don't deal with each other, and they often greet each other with friendly greetings when they meet.

One day in December, Lin Xiao and Hermione came back from the library. They stayed there all afternoon and were preparing to go to the auditorium for dinner.Suddenly I saw a small group of people gathered around the bulletin board, reading the words on a piece of parchment that had just been nailed up. Ron and Harry were among them.

"What are they looking at? Let's go over quietly!" Hermione said with interest.

"Okay," Lin Xiao had known the news for a long time and was not surprised at all.

"Oh my God, Harry, there is a dueling club in the school, at eight o'clock tonight." Ron said excitedly. He shook Harry vigorously, trying to figure out whether he was dreaming.

"Oh, Ron, stop shaking. Look, Lin Xiao and Hermione are here too." Sharp-eyed Harry looked at the two people walking over and quickly got rid of Ron's torture.

"Lin Xiao, what is the Duel Duel Club?" Hermione looked at it curiously and asked.

"It teaches us how to duel, which can increase our actual combat experience." Lin Xiao explained.

Harry, Ron and their roommates were discussing enthusiastically, and turned to ask Lin Xiao and Hermione.

"Are you going tonight?"

"Of course, I'm still very interested in this duel club." Lin Xiao couldn't wait to see how Lockhart would perform, knowing that Snape would also be present.

At eight o'clock in the evening, when Lin Xiao and the three of them came to the auditorium, they found that the place had changed a lot compared to before.The long dining tables of the four colleges disappeared, and a gilded stage appeared along one wall. The scene was illuminated by hundreds of candles floating in the sky. Lin Xiao could tell whose style it was at a glance.

All the students in the school came here early, divided into two teams and gathered around the stage. Everyone held their own wands in their hands, with excited expressions on their faces.

"I don't know who will teach us," Hermione said as they squeezed into the chattering crowd. "I remember Lin Xiaohe said that their dean was a duel champion when he was young. Maybe he will teach us. Let’s.”

Harry was thinking that as long as it wasn't Snape and Lockhart, any other teacher would be fine...

"Who do you think the style of this stage looks like?" Lin Xiao's words were like a basin of cold water poured on them, breaking their illusions...

"Isn't it him you are talking about..." Looking at the gold-encrusted stage of the slut, a figure appeared in Harry's mind, and he said with some despair.

"No," Ron also showed a desperate expression. He felt that his excitement today was in vain and he shouldn't have come here.

"Look there." Lin Xiao pointed to the door and said.

The three of them cast their gaze over and saw Gilderoy Lockhart walking straight onto the stage from the door, dazzling in a purple robe.

"Why is Snape here too?" Harry looked even more desperate. He had a premonition: tonight might not be a good night.

Harry didn't see it at first, and it wasn't until Lockhart walked onto the stage that he revealed the person following him, and it was the person Harry least wanted to see, Snape, who was wearing the same clothes he usually wears in class. The man in black clothes stood opposite Lockhart.

Lockhart waved everyone for silence, then shouted: "Come around, come around! Can everyone see me? Can everyone hear me? Great! I'm glad to see so many students here. .”

But the students in the audience booed. They were discussing in low voices with the people around them why Lockhart came to ask them to duel. The little wizards all expected the headmaster of Ravenclaw. When Professor Flitwick arrived, they inquired about the honors Professor Flitwick had received before arriving.

Hearing the sound, Lockhart stood above and ignored it. He just pretended not to hear it, cleared his throat, and continued to talk enthusiastically about his contribution to this event.

"You must know that I have worked hard before Professor Dumbledore allowed me to open this small dueling club to fully help everyone train their dueling skills in case you encounter danger one day and be able to defend yourself in time. I am in my It’s also introduced in the book…”

"Now, let me introduce my assistant, Professor Snape," Lockhart said, grinning widely. "On my strong invitation, Professor Snape chose to agree. Before class, Help me give a small demonstration. Oh, don’t worry, after I finish demonstrating with him, I will return your Potions Master to you intact, don’t be afraid!”
