Hogwarts: When the live Q&A goes live

Chapter 97
"It seems that you don't want to meet Professor Dumbledore with me!"

"I don't really want to see him right now. Let's wait until later. When I leave Hogwarts and have a chance to come back, I don't mind going to see him."

The two of you come and go, flashing and dodging, there are streaks of colorful light.

Lockhart is not like he used to be. Apart from the Disarming Curse and the Armor Curse, he actually knows quite a few spells.

Especially some spiritual spells, the most important of which is to forget everything.

That is to say, two or three curses are mixed with one forgetting nothing. As long as Tom is hit, what will happen then is unknown.

But Tom is very cautious, his body skills are far superior to others. When he is restricted by his body and cannot use his skills, Tom tries to dodge as much as possible, using the surrounding environment to block Lockhart's spell.

"Give me a chance, Professor Lockhart!"

"How can I give you a chance?"

"I didn't have a choice before, now I want to leave Hogwarts!"

"Okay, come with me to Dumbledore and see if he will let you leave Hogwarts!"

"So you want to keep me in Hogwarts completely?"

"Sorry, I'm a professor!"

Constantly approaching, Lockhart's eyes were a little nervous and complicated.

In this fight, he has already felt how difficult Tom is. Even if he has not been resurrected, even if he has not returned to the peak, he is still so difficult and terrifying.

He took a slight breath in his heart, as if he was already sweating profusely, and his clothes were drenched with sweat.

His methods are very simple, and his spellcasting skills are also very ordinary and solid.

But such ordinary and solid spellcasting skills were the main reason why he was able to stalemate with Tom.

The extremely fast reaction speed plus the disarming spell used for attack and the iron armor spell used for defense.

In such close contact and fighting, there are only a few ways to deal with Lockhart who is as smooth as a loach.

One, using a powerful spell to collapse the underground passage.

But the result of doing that is that the two of them perish together.

Lockhart thought to himself that the rational Tom Gaunt would not do that, and this is also the source of his confidence to press on step by step.

Second, use those unforgivable curses or vicious black magic.

If Tom really chooses to use those black magics, then Lockhart can guarantee that he will definitely evacuate this underground passage as quickly as possible in his life, waiting for the arrival of the rest of the professors and Dumbledore.

But that day...

Dumbledore's conversation with Tom in the question-and-answer space and his subsequent performance made him choose to take a gamble.

Fortunately, he didn't lose!
Now Lockhart's thinking is very simple, first take the two little wizards, Harry and Hermione, out first.

As for whether Tom will run away or not... that's another story.

At least, he only wants to protect the personal safety of his students now.

But the first step is to force Tom to give up the entrance and enter the secret room instead.

Only in this way can he be sure to pull Harry and Hermione's bodies back.

Only in that way, this trip will not be regarded as returning without success.

but……

Will Tom give him the chance?

Tom Gunter once again deflected Lockhart's disarming spell with skill.

If the time card is not good, the wand in his hand will really be knocked out by his disarming spell.

At that time, looking at it as a whole, it seems that Tom naturally caught Lockhart's disarming spell with his wand, and then... the wand was thrown away.

Therefore, from this point of view, using magic power to cover the wand to pick up other people's spells is also very risky, and it is also a skill that tests the wizard's familiarity with his wand and spells.

Bean-sized sweat dripped down Tom's forehead, dripping onto the wizard robe he was wearing.

This battle did not cast any superb magic spells, but if any wizard who is very familiar with battles is here, he will be attracted by this battle that showed superb magic skills and a very high degree of professionalism, comparable to textbooks go in.

The reason is that whether it is Tom or Lockhart, they both control the spells they cast very well.

If Tom is limited by his body, then Lockhart's two spells are almost instinctive after being honed in the question-and-answer space.

Only in this way can he cast these two spells so skillfully, and the timing is very good every time.

"It seems that Professor Lockhart doesn't want to let me leave Hogwarts."

"I didn't say that, sir!"

"Oh, what do you mean then?"

"I think you know, sir! Put down your wand and come with me to Dumbledore!"

Over and over again, Lockhart seemed to just want to take him to meet Dumbledore.

If Dumbledore was really that nice, maybe Tom was really...

See, that's impossible to see.

Especially at this time, when he was at his worst, how could he meet his former teacher?
No matter how you say it, you have to wait for yourself to become famous and become bigger and stronger before you come back to meet him.

So, of course Tom didn't hesitate... Rejecting Lockhart's proposal.

The moment he retreated to the entrance of the passage, Lockhart was not standing very far, and he could clearly see the situation in the secret room, but he still felt relieved for a while.

That's it, all that's left is to find a chance to take Harry and Hermione away.

If you beat Tom later...

Of course, he took Tom to see Dumbledore, and used this record to prove his loyalty to him and his contribution to the stability of the magic world.

It can be said to kill three birds with one stone!

Of course, first he had to defeat the person in front of him.

"Professor Lockhart!"

The moment they reached the entrance of the passage, the two stopped throwing spells at each other, and the stalemate was temporarily relieved.

The two looked at each other, panting, looking very calm.

"Is there anything you want to say to me, sir!"

Whatever Tom called himself, he always addressed Tom with the word Mr. added.

It's as much respect for Tom as it is... respect for Tom.

There is no way, if it is really calculated, Tom Gunter is also a part of that person.

Even more intimate than body parts.

So, let's have a better attitude, although hatred must be provoked.

"I just suddenly thought of an interesting thing."

Tom leaned against the wall next to him, with a "weird" smile on his face, and a faint halo appeared on the tip of his wand.

A faint halo lit up the surrounding area. Although the surrounding area was still dim, it was a little brighter than before.

"what?"

Lockhart was puzzled, and a bad premonition appeared in his heart.

"Look at the ground, Professor!"
