HP When Harry is a Genius

A week later, Hogwarts posted a notice that from tonight, a duel club would be opened.The students were very excited, including Hermione, "I'm not opposed to taking some dueling lessons, which may come in handy someday," she said.

Harry was noncommittal, he didn't think the school clubs would teach you how to duel.After all, not even Defense Against the Dark Arts can teach you anything.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the long dining tables in the auditorium disappeared, and a gilded stage appeared along one wall, lit by hundreds of candles floating overhead.The ceiling was once again as black as velvet, and almost all the students from the school came, crowded together, each holding his own wand, and his face was full of excitement.

Gilderoy Lockhart stepped onto the stage, resplendent in his fuchsia robes, and beside him was none other than Snape, still in his usual black.

Lockhart waved everyone to silence, then shouted: "Come around, come around! Can everyone see me? Can everyone hear me? Great! Dumbledore allowed me to open a dueling club and train fully Everyone, in case you ever need to defend yourself, defend yourself in the same way that I have used countless times - for details on this, please see my published works. Let me introduce my assistant Professor Snape."

"I don't have much hope for this dueling club hosted by Lockhart." Ron said, "I hope Snape will host this club. You know, he looks like a kind of eerie man with a lot of black magic." wizard."

Hermione nodded and said: "Snape invented a lot of powerful offensive magic, many of which were written in the advanced potions book, and then handed it to Harry when he first entered the wizarding world."

"Obviously," said Ron, spreading his hands, "Snape didn't think that little wizards shouldn't be exposed to powerful black magic. He also taught Malfoy spells such as Oolong's Hole. I sometimes really Hopefully he can trade with Professor McGonagall."

Hermione said dejectedly: "I also hope to get a small stove from him, but except for the students of Slytherin, he is only willing to tutor Harry himself."

"Okay Hermione." Harry said: "Don't complain, Sev is the head of Slytherin after all. But he is not a stingy person. I teach him every time I know about spells and potions. Teach you and Ron, and he agreed."

"Although Sev always sneered every time, oh, is Saint Potter going to buy people's hearts with your poor potions professor again?" Harry added silently in his heart.

On the stage, Lockhart continued to talk, and he grinned widely, "Professor Snape told me that he knew a thing or two about dueling himself, and he generously agreed to help me do it before class. A small demonstration. I said, I don't want to worry you little guys, after I finish demonstrating with him, I will return your Potions teacher to you intact, don't be afraid!"

"Where did he get his confidence?" Ron whispered in Harry's ear.

Lockhart and Snape turned to face each other and bowed.

At least Lockhart bowed, flailing his hands a lot, and Snape just shook his hair impatiently.They then held their respective wands like arrows to their chests.

"As you can see, we hold our wands in the normal dueling position," Lockhart said to the silent crowd. "On the count of three, we cast the first spell." He whispered, "One, Two, three!"

They both jerked their wands over their shoulders at the same time.

Snape yelled, "Except your weapons!"

Suddenly, a dazzling red light flashed, and Lockhart was struck unsteadily.He jerked backwards off the stage, slammed into the wall, and slid down, curled up on the floor.

The Slytherins burst into cheers, and even Harry clapped his hands hard.Many Gryffindor students said that Harry was shaken by Snape.

Hermione pointed at Lockhart, jumping up and down on tiptoe, "Do you think he's all right?" She put her fingers over her mouth and screamed.

"Never mind him!" Ron said at the same time.

Harry looked at Lockhart strangely: "If he's pretending to be weak, he's too good at it. But if he's really that weak, is it possible?"

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

"Okay, you see!" said Lockhart, staggering back onto the stage. "It's a disarming charm! Ah, thank you Professor Snape for showing this trick, but, Snape Professor Nepe, you don't mind if I say that, if I want to stop you, it won't take much effort. I just think that in order to increase their knowledge, they might as well let them see it."

Snape looked murderous.Lockhart probably noticed too, and he said, "That's the end of the demonstration! Now I'll come among you and divide you all into groups of two."

Lockhart and Snape made their way through the crowd, pairing everyone up.

Snape went up to Harry and Ron first: "The dream team should be broken up, I think," he sneered, "Weasley, you can pair up with Finlaye. Potter—"

Harry subconsciously moved Draco closer.

"Well then," said Snape, with a icy smile on his face, "Draco, come up here. Let's see what a mess you can make the famous Potter. As for you, Greg Miss Ranger, you can pair up with Miss Parkinson."

Draco walked over proudly, with a smug smile on his face.

He was followed by Pansy Parkinson of Slytherin, who reminded Harry of a movie star Dudley liked.She was tall and thin, wearing slim-fit school gowns that had clearly been carefully re-cut, her big obsidian eyes were as bright as stars, and her pointed chin was as proud as Draco's.

When the two of them walked side by side, there were faint whispers among the students.Words like "princess of Slytherin", "offspring of Death Eaters", "pure-blood marriage", "default daughter-in-law" and so on.

"Looks like a pair of golden couples, they are so well-matched." Harry thought casually.

"Face your partner!" Lockhart yelled back on stage, "Bow!"

Harry and Draco bowed to each other.

"Wand up, get ready!" cried Lockhart. "When I count to three, I'll cast a spell and disarm the opponent. Just disarm. We don't want accidents. One, two, three!"

A puff of green smoke filled the entire venue.

Draco and Harry disarmed each other's wands, but the others weren't so lucky.

Neville and Seamus were lying on the floor, panting; Ron grabbed the ashen-faced Justin and apologized for what he had done with his broken wand; while Hermione and Parkinson were still on the move; Pansy Clamping Hermione's head, Hermione screamed in pain.Both of their wands were forgotten on the floor.

It wasn't just the people Harry had noticed, the whole auditorium was in chaos.Many even bled.

"My God, my God," said Lockhart, jumping up and down through the crowd, nervous at the sight of such chaos.

In the end, it was Snape who intimidated and appeased the panicked crowd.

"I think I'd better teach you how to stop unfriendly magic." Lockhart said, standing in the middle of the auditorium with a flustered expression.He glanced at Snape, saw a cold gleam in Snape's dark eyes, and looked away immediately.He pointed to Neville and Justin next to him and said, "Please volunteer to come up as a couple, Longbottom and Fenriely, how are you?"

"That's a bad idea, Professor Lockhart," said Snape, gliding across the stage like a large, vicious bat. "Longbottom can wreak havoc with the simplest of spells. We're going to put the remains of Finlay in a matchbox and send them to a hospital ward."

Neville's pink round face flushed even more.

"How about Malfoy and Potter?" Snape sneered at Draco and Harry, who were unharmed.

"Brilliant!" said Lockhart, motioning for Harry and Draco to move into the middle of the Great Hall as the people stepped back to make room for them.

one two three--! cried Lockhart.

Harry jerked his wand over his shoulder, but Malfoy did it on the first count of two!

"The lilies are in full bloom!" "The peacocks are blooming!"

From the tip of Draco's wand, a bouquet of large lilies exuding a sweet fragrance bloomed, and from the tip of Harry's wand, a small platinum-gold peacock flew out and landed on Draco's shoulder.

Harry happily stepped forward to pluck the lilies from Draco's wand, looking very happy.

Snape's pupils shrank when he saw the bouquet of lilies, and he gave Draco a deep and meaningful look.

There was a burst of cheerful laughter and applause around, and some people lay on the ground laughing and beating the ground.

"I knew it would happen!" said Ron triumphantly to Hermione. "How could they fight? Unless Merlin came back to life."

Harry and Draco bowed to each other again and stepped back from the long table.

"Gentlemen, I have to remind you that this is a dueling club, and you won't get the effect of practicing like this." Lockhart said with a smile, showing his snow-white front teeth.But Harry and Draco bowed to each other again and retreated back into the crowd.

The following dueling club was like a Muggle magic show, and the students scrambled to conjure strange things like roses, handkerchiefs, larks, balloons, mice and cockroaches to their opponents.The whole hall was in disarray, and even Snape couldn't keep them under control.

Lockhart was happy with this, and he patted Snape's shoulder with a smile: "Oh, professor, take it easy, peace is the beautiful theme of tonight, isn't it?"

"Don't forget, you run a dueling club." Snape said sullenly, pointing to Lockhart's hand on his shoulder with his wand.

Lockhart pulled his hand back in embarrassment, pretending not to hear Snape's words.

The twins made each other a pair of toads and toads, and then threw the toads and toads to Neville, letting them run around chasing Neville's Rifle.

And Ron, after Justin conjured up a little badger, he used his oolong to conjure up a small vegetable snake and threw it on Justin as if to show off.He had just learned the spell from Harry, and lately he often competed with Draco in private to see who could conjure the bigger and more powerful snake.

Among the noisy crowd, Harry sniffed the big Serenity lily in his hand, and asked Draco with a smile, "A lily specially conjured for me? According to my mother's name?"

Draco was teasing the tiny peacock on his shoulder. He looked very pleased with himself and replied, "There is a reason for that, and my mother also likes lilies very much."

"Huh, but the most grown thing in Malfoy Manor isn't narcissus?" Harry asked strangely.

"That's what my dad likes. Of course my mom likes it too," Draco broke a small chocolate heart and put it in the peacock's mouth, "but you haven't seen her bedroom, it's full of lilies. "

The first session of the Dueling Club ended in such a joking and noisy manner with laughter and laughter, but it is said that the second session is far away, and it is unknown when it will continue.Apparently Lockhart already regretted organizing an event that would embarrass him.

The next morning, the snow that had been falling since the night turned into a violent blizzard.Thus, the last herbal medicine class of the semester was cancelled.

Professor Sprout needs to put socks and scarves on the Mandrake. This is a job that needs to be treated carefully, and she is not at ease entrusting it to others.

Now, let the mandrake grow quickly and save the lives of Mrs. Norris and Colin Creevey, which is the most important thing.

Ron and Hermione played a game of magic chess by the fire in the Gryffindor common room when they were not in class.Harry sat lazily by and read the Muggle newspaper Dudley had brought him through Hedwig.

This year's England seems to be particularly bumpy. Since the beginning of the year, there have been continuous sterling crises. Finally, on September 9, the Muggle Prime Minister had to announce that England would officially withdraw from the European Exchange Rate Mechanism in order to avoid government bankruptcy.However, a few days ago, on November 5, Windsor Castle, which symbolizes the glory of the Muggle royal family, also suffered a rare fire in a century.

"If only I could sneak out of Hogwarts without being discovered." Harry thought silently. He was very curious about the Windsor Castle of the Muggle royal family in England. Numerous treasures in the history of melon.It’s a pity that only a small part of Windsor Castle was open to the public before, and Harry didn’t even go there—the Dursleys only liked to take their children to the zoo toy store, and never went to the library or museum, let alone Windsor Castle up.After a fire just broke out, it is easiest to "fish in troubled waters" to sneak in and have a look.

Unfortunately, Harry could only think about it, after all, he couldn't come in and out of Hogwarts at will.

"Ron, you've already lost five games in a row!" Hermione pushed the chessboard and shouted dissatisfiedly, "This is the first time I've beaten you so easily! What are you thinking?"

"It's getting too much!" Ron said angrily, "You also saw the scene of the Dueling Club yesterday. No one in Hufflepuff was willing to stand next to me, but the people in Slytherin liked it more and more. Say hello to me! Justin Fletcher, the only one in Hufflepuff who was friendly to me, you didn’t see the frightened expression after I summoned the snakehead! He didn’t even talk to me at the end. I said goodbye and ran away in a hurry!"

"You care so much about a 'goodbye'? Maybe Justin is just afraid of snakes, just like you are afraid of spiders. You throw snakes on people!" Hermione said sarcastically.

"That snake isn't poisonous! There are too many snakes like that in Professor Sprout's vegetable garden, and I haven't seen him afraid to enter the vegetable garden." Ron said dissatisfiedly, "I was just joking with him. , Didn’t many Hufflepuff students turn into little badgers? Harry also turned into a peacock, what’s wrong with me turning into a snake?”

Harry patted Ron on the shoulder helplessly: "Rumors about the heir to the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets are raging, and you are a little sensitive to become a snake. Even Draco, a Slytherin student, didn't use the oolong spell yesterday." .”

Ron blushed, and he stuck his neck to retort: ​​"Malfoy has practiced this spell a lot in private! And he didn't summon snakes only when he was teaming up with you, and he will definitely summon snakes when teaming up with others! "Ron looked around like a thief, then lowered his voice, and said in a low voice: "Besides us, no one knows that the monster in the secret room is a snake, so it doesn't matter."

Hermione didn't care about Ron's justification, she said sarcastically: "Then you explain it to Justin, you explain it to the Hufflepuffs, saying that you are just joking and there is no malice. You tell us that there is no harm." What's the use!"

Ron stood up bravely, and said to Hermione angrily, "Do you think I dare not? I'm going to find Justin to make it clear now!"

Harry and Hermione looked at each other helplessly, but neither stopped Ron.It is better to resolve the misunderstanding as soon as possible. It is a good way to clarify in person.

Ron climbed over the portrait of the Fat Lady and out.Hermione took Harry's Muggle newspaper and read it with him.

After a while, while Harry was imagining "The Little Wizard Potter's Adventures in the Muggle Castle", Seamus walked into the lounge from outside: "Almost Headless Nick and Hufflepuff's second-year students Justin Finchrey, turned to stone! It's in the corridor next to the History of Magic classroom, and Ron's there!"

Seamus's hat, eyebrows, and shoulders were covered with snow, and his eyes showed deep panic and anxiety: "Colin first, and then Finlay, are all Muggle-born wizards. I'm a half-breed, so it shouldn't matter." ?”

Harry and Hermione glanced at each other, and they dropped the newspaper in their hands and hurried to the scene.

The scene was full of people, Harry and Hermione squeezed into the crowd, and found Ron standing by the wall.Ron had a half angry, half annoyed look on his face.They followed Ron's line of sight to the middle of the crowd: Justin looked okay, but turned into a stone statue.Nearly Headless Nick looks much scarier.

As a ghost, Nick was no longer milky white and transparent, but black and smoky, lying flat and motionless, suspended six inches above the ground.Half of his head was missing, and he had the same terrified expression on his face as Justin.

The professors came, bending over to check on Justin and Nearly Headless Nick.

The little pure-blood wizard in Hufflepuff's grade and Justin's good friend, Ernie MacMillan has been staring at Harry and the others with a strange look on his face.

Peeves, who was afraid of chaos in the world, floated above his head, looking down at the whole scene.At this time, he grinned and showed a smirk.He sang suddenly: "Oh, Weasley, you bastard, it's funny to see what you've done, you've killed students—"

"Stop it, Peeves!" Professor McGonagall yelled, and Peeves stuck his tongue out at her, and hurriedly backed away.

Justin was carried to the hospital ward by Professor Flitwick and Professor Sinista from the Department of Astronomy, but no one seemed to know what to do with Nearly Headless Nick.Finally, Professor McGonagall conjured a large fan out of thin air, handed it to Percy, and ordered him to fan Nearly Headless Nick up the stairs.Percy complied, fanning Nick forward like a silent black hovercraft.

The crowd gradually dispersed.

When Harry and the others were about to leave, Ernie of Hufflepuff stopped Harry: "Potter, I have something to talk to you alone.

"If there's anything you can't say openly, you have to be sneaky!" Ron said dissatisfied.

"You're right to be caught red-handed!" Ernie yelled, pale and pointing at Ron theatrically.

"Enough, Ernie!" said Hermione sternly.

Ernie bit his pale lips, then took a deep breath and said, "Potter, Justin did this to find you. He said he found something and was eager to tell you. He was extremely I trust you." Ernie sighed as he spoke, "Unfortunately, it seems that he can't tell you what he found."

Then, Ernie looked at Ron with extremely resentful eyes, and despite his whole body trembling, he still said stubbornly: "Potter, don't be fooled by the people around you. Although it is said that the Weasley family is A pure-blood traitor, but his family has been pure-blooded for generations, and he has the most children, which is not normal at all. I guess, maybe Justin discovered some evidence of Weasley! Back then, Mrs. Norris's The cat was also Weasley's first--"

"What do you want to say!" Ron jumped up, his fiery red hair stood on end, and he almost hit Ernie's face with his fist.Hermione hugged him tightly from behind.

"If you're trying to get on with me," Ernie said hastily to Ron, "I might as well tell you that you go back to nine generations of wizarding in my family, and I'm as pure as anyone, so—"

"I don't care what kind of blood you have!" Ron said furiously. "Why should I attack Muggles? I don't believe in that shit bloodism!"

"Who knows if it's true or not. Your family has always claimed to be close to Muggles in an unconventional way, but your father is in the 'Prohibited Muggle Items Department'. Your family loves Muggles so much, but there has never been a half-breed in generations. You There are so many children in the family, and your family is the one that pays the most attention to the continuation of the blood!" Ernie sneered. "You, a pure-blood wizard, actually hate and reject the pure-blood theory so much, how ridiculous, these are just trying to cover up!"

Ron was about to explode in rage, his foot almost kicking Ernie in the face.He shouted loudly at Ernie: "But don't forget, I am Gryffindor, not Slytherin! How can I inherit the Chamber of Secrets!"

"Yesterday you turned into a snake! A Gryffindor turned into a snake! You even threw it on Justin!" Ernie yelled equally loudly.

"That's just a spell, many people can use it!" Ron explained angrily, but the students around who hadn't dispersed had already started talking in whispers.

Ernie went on to say, "Remember what was written on the wall? 'Enemies of the heir, beware!' You had a fight with Filch, and I hear Filch punished you for wiping hundreds of trophies ...and soon we learned that Filch's cat was killed. That freshman Creevey, I heard he took a picture of you spitting a slug, and then we learned that Creevey died too !"

"I'm G! Lan! Fern! More!" Ron gritted his teeth and said, his veins were exposed, his hands clenched into fists, and his eyes showed a murderous look: "From ancient times to the present, all the Weasleys are rooted. Red Gryffindor!"

"There will always be some traitors! I heard that the Black family, which was all Slytherin in the previous generation, had a traitor who entered Gryffindor. Maybe you are a Slytherin in Gryffindor skin! Maybe the Chamber of Secrets is not Not according to the college inheritance." Ernie said quickly.

Harry's face darkened the moment he heard Black's name, and he could no longer maintain his kind and gentle false smile.

He knew who Ernie was talking about, Sirius Black, his godfather, the man who had betrayed his parents, a Gryffindor but Voldemort's most loyal lackey.

"Okay, I see." Harry's voice seemed to be icy, and he said to Ernie indifferently: "If there is nothing else, we will go back first."

With that said, Harry led the furious Ron and Hermione out of the corridor, but Ernie was still persistently shouting behind him: "Potter, be careful of Weasley! Don't let Justin die in vain!"
