Jingyan of HP

Lockhart waved the crowd to silence, and he called: "Collect, gather! Can each of you see me? Can you hear me? Excellent! Now, Professor Dumbledore has agreed with me. Set up a dueling club to train you in case you need to defend yourself, as I have done countless times—the details can be found in my writings."

"Let me introduce my assistant, Professor Snape," said Lockhart, with a wide grin. "He told me he knew quite a bit about fighting, and promised to provide some temporary assistance before we began. , I don't want you young men to worry - you'll still have your Potions master, and when I beat him - don't be afraid!"

Russell pretended to cover his eyes, "Oh, I can't bear to watch it anymore, poor Professor Lockhart!"

Harry looked at his dad with sparkling eyes and asked, "Is this the surprise you were talking about? Did Professor Snape tell you how to deal with this idiot?"

Cheng Jingyan looked at his family Severus who was full of momentum on the stage with a smile, and told the beans mysteriously: "Just look forward to it, children, it will be very exciting."

Snape looked at Lockhart, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly in a vicious smile.

"Oh, I don't understand why that golden-haired idiot can still laugh." Nu Yada, who was standing next to Cheng Jingyan, said sharply, "If Professor Snape looked at me like that, I would have known Ran away in the opposite direction, as fast as possible."

Lockhart and Snape turned to face each other and bowed.At least Lockhart bowed, flailing his hands a lot, and Snape just shook his head impatiently.

Cheng Jingyan burst out laughing, Snape glanced at him sharply, he quickly held back his laugh and put on a serious look.

The two men on stage held their wands like arrows to their chests.

"As you can see, we hold our wands in the usual dueling position," Lockhart said to the silent crowd. "On the count of three, we cast the first spell. Of course, none of us will take the opponent's life."

"Oh, I swear the godfather must be thinking: 'I can't guarantee that'!" Draco swore.

Several children laughed together.

"One! Two! Three!" They both jerked their wands over their shoulders at the same time.Snape yelled, "Expelliarmus!" There was a blinding red flash, and Lockhart was knocked off his feet. He flew backwards off the stage, crashed into the wall, and slid down, curled up on the floor.

The boys headed by the Weasley twins whistled and applauded, while a small group of girls who were still blinded by Lockhart looked at their idols worriedly, and secretly glared at Snape by the way.

Lockhart staggered to his feet, his hat off, his wavy curls standing on end.

"Well, you see!" he said, staggering back onto the stage, "it's a disarming charm, and as you can see, I lost my wand, oh, thank you, Brown Miss. Yes, Professor Snape, it's a very good idea to show them this trick, but don't mind me saying that, your intentions for doing this just now are obvious. If I want to stop you, It's a no-brainer. I think it would be a good idea to show them, in order to increase their knowledge..."

Snape looked murderous.Cheng Jingyan couldn't help laughing again.

Lockhart obviously also noticed that his situation was not good, he quickly greeted the students, "Oh, children, the demonstration is over here, and then you can divide into two groups and use the spell just now to attack each other , remember to click until the end."

He and Snape made their way through the crowd, matching the students into pairs.

Several Doudings formed their own groups, while Cheng Jingyan and Nu Yada partnered, flirting with each other with disarming spells.

Snape walked over, Cheng Jingyan said something to Nu Yada, and greeted him.

"Severus, you were so handsome just now," he teased Snape with a smile, "Why didn't you take my suggestion?"

Snape gave him an annoyed look, "Are you an idiot? Using such a high-level spell on that fool, you want to be asked by the old bee to drink honey tea?"

He looked around at the students who were paying attention to the two of them and whispering, and drove Cheng Jingyan away impatiently.

After the dueling club ended, many students were still talking about Snape's handsome blow.Many also lamented that he had not taught Lockhart enough.As a result, the activities of the students to punish Lockhart ushered in a new attack.

The next morning, the snow that had been falling since the night turned into a violent blizzard.The castle was much darker than usual during the day, as thick, gray snowflakes danced across the sky, sealing every window.

Cheng Jingyan finished a Transfiguration class, and was following the large army back to the Ravenclaw Tower when he suddenly heard a few screams from the corridor in front, and then a door in front was slammed open. Peeves rushed out.

Peeves rushed into the air, turned somersaults, and screamed at the top of his voice: "Do it! Do it! Do it again! Humans and ghosts will not be spared! Run for your life! Move—hand—! "

People rushed forward immediately to see what was going on.The doors in the corridor were pushed open one by one, and the students in the classroom rushed out.

Cheng Jingyan and Nu Yada were pushed to the corner of the corridor by the crowd.

A boy in Gryffindor robes was lying on the floor, cold and stiff, with a frightened expression frozen on his face, his eyes staring glassy at the ceiling.That's not all, there is another figure next to him - that is Nearly Headless Nick, he is no longer translucent milky white, but has become black and smoky, lying flat and suspended in the distance six inches from the ground.Half of his head was missing, and his face had the same frightened expression as the boy on the ground.

A group of Gryffindors and Slytherins poured out of the classroom at the other end of the corridor, including the twins Draco and Virgil.The second grade animals screamed in unison and immediately divided into teams.Draco looked around in panic, and then his expression became even more panicked.

Cheng Jingyan waved to the three children, and they immediately ran to his side, and the twins even grabbed the hem of his clothes.

Professor McGonagall ran all the way, followed by Hufflepuff who had just taken the Transfiguration class with Cheng Jingyan and the others.When the always timid little badgers came, the scene became even more chaotic.

Professor McGonagall made a loud noise with her wand, and everyone fell silent immediately. She ordered loudly: "Everyone who has classes, go back to your classroom, and those who don't have classes, go back to your dormitory. Don't crowd here!"

The students all dispersed obediently.

Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick, who came later, teamed up to send the boy on the ground and Nearly Headless Nick to the hospital wing.

Cheng Jingyan asked Nu Yada to go back first, and he stayed behind, pulling the three children aside and asking, "Harry has class today? Have you seen him?"

Platinum Dragon, who knew Harry's courses like the back of his hand, said anxiously: "He has a history of magic class, and the classroom is next door to us, but I looked for him in the crowd just now, but I didn't see him!"

At this moment, Harry suddenly rushed out from nowhere, hugged Cheng Jingyan's arm and pulled towards the corner.

Everyone followed him to an empty corner, and the child immediately said in a hurry: "I heard it again just now! It's the guy who spoke Parseltongue last time!"

Draco grabbed his hand nervously and asked, "Are you okay? Where did you go just now, why didn't I see you?"

"It's all right," Harry said, waving his hand. "I heard it in the classroom. I saw you when everyone ran out just now, but someone blocked me, so you didn't see it."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.Cheng Jingyan sent the three Slytherins back to the dormitory before taking Harry to find Dumbledore.

Dumbledore had apparently heard the news from the portraits by the time they reached the headmaster's office.

"So, Harry, what did it say this time?"

Harry shook his head, "I was in the classroom at the time, and I didn't hear it very clearly. It seemed to be the same few words, when is the time, and it's time to kill someone."

Cheng Jingyan frowned and asked, "Principal, isn't there a portrait surveillance? Is there any specific news?"

Dumbledore shook his head sadly, "The portraits near the bathrooms all said they didn't see it. There was only one portrait at the scene, but from the angle you could only see the attacked person, not the basilisk at all."

He looked at Harry with a worried face, so he could only comfort him, "Don't worry, little Harry, go back and tell your friends to go with your friends as much as possible. Basilisks only attack people who act alone, and I will also ask the professors to step up." On patrol."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door was suddenly knocked open with a "bang".Hagrid rushed in with frantic eyes.He had his scarf wrapped around his dark, shaggy head, and he was carrying a dead rooster.

"Professor Dumbledore! Please allow me to cast spells near the coop. This is the second rooster that has been killed this week!" the half-giant said excitedly, waving the rooster. Chicken feathers scattered all over the floor, "Oh, Harry, why are you here too?"

Harry greeted him, "Hello, Hagrid, I just have something to ask the headmaster about my studies." Cheng Jingyan gave the child a warning look, so he could only speak vaguely.

"Okay, Hagrid, I agree with your request, you can go back and take care of your cocks." Dumbledore and Cheng Jingyan exchanged glances, and said to the half-giant with a smile, "Oh, please take Xiaoha by the way." Can you take Li back to the dormitory?"

"No problem, Professor!" said the half-giant cheerfully. "Come on, Harry, let's go!"

Harry reluctantly glanced at Cheng Jingyan.

"Hey, you go back first, I have something to talk to the principal, can I tell you when I get back?" Cheng Jingyan patted him on the shoulder to coax him.

The kid had to follow Hagrid away.

Dumbledore watched the door being closed by Hagrid before he said seriously: "I believe you can see it too."

Cheng Jingyan nodded, "The rooster is the natural enemy of the basilisk. It is impossible for the basilisk to kill the rooster by itself, so someone must be helping it. Maybe this person is manipulating the basilisk."

"I will focus on investigating the people who appeared near the scene of several attacks. As for you, you will be responsible for making some more lethal weapons, okay?"

Cheng Jingyan agreed without hesitation, and then said goodbye to him, "I have to go back to make lunch, and Severus should be finishing his get out of class soon."

Dumbledore asked gossipingly, "Have you made any progress?"

Cheng Jingyan showed him a big smile, "I won't tell you!"

The old man's eyebrows drooped in frustration.

Watching him go out the door happily, Dumbledore looked at the blank photo frame on the desk, and said in an envious and jealous tone: "If you don't say it, don't say it! What's so great! What are you doing so proudly!"

Then he took off his glasses, looked up at the ceiling, and blinked hard.Fox on the shelf next to him let out a melodious cry.

The author has something to say: It seems that many people hope that the old devil king will appear soon, but the knot between these two people is really hard to solve... Sigh
