Professor of Gemology at Hogwarts

"Oh my God, my God," said Lockhart, jumping up and down in the crowd, watching the aftermath of the duel between the students, "you stand up, Macmillan... look out, Miss Fawcett... pinch hard, blood. It will stop immediately. Flint...it seems that you are covered in bullae and need to go to the hospital..."

"Weasley did it!" Flint raged at George and Fred.

"I know—I know—but you need to go to hospital," Lockhart said hastily.

"Twenty points from Gryffindor for not following the rules, Weasleys." Snape rushed over to deduct points.

"I think it would be best for me to teach you how to stop unfriendly magic." Lockhart said, standing in the middle of the auditorium with a flustered expression.He glanced at Snape and saw a cold light flashing in Snape's black eyes, and immediately looked away, "Professor Morris, do you have any good suggestions?"

"I suggest that you can voluntarily come up as a couple now. The professors will provide targeted guidance, and the students will watch and learn below." Gray stepped forward.

"Good idea! Good idea! At least this is controllable..." Lockhart was overjoyed. He could finally get rid of the embarrassment just now, "Then -"

"What about Malfoy and Potter?" Snape suggested before Lockhart could finish.

"Wonderful!"

Lockhart said, motioning for Harry and Malfoy to come to the center of the Great Hall, and people stepped back to make room for them.

Snape approached Malfoy, lowered his head and whispered something to him.Malfoy also sneered.

"Professor Morris...can you teach me a few tricks?" Harry stopped when he passed by Gray.

"Huh? Just do what you want. The professor is behind you, so there is no need to be afraid of any accidents."

"Use Wadi Wasi!" Lockhart leaned over.

"what?!"

Gray looked at Lockhart in surprise.

"I just saw your duel with Professor Snape, and I think Harry needs to master some attack spells too, right?"

"But!"

"Wadi Wasi... Wadi Wasi..." Harry repeated in a low voice, trying to remember the spell.

"Alright! Alright! Are you ready! Three-two-one-start!" Lockhart shouted.

Malfoy quickly raised his wand and roared, "Oolong out!"

Malfoy's wand head exploded.Harry watched in horror as a long black snake suddenly jumped out, landed heavily on the floor between the two of them, then raised its head, ready to attack.The crowd screamed and quickly backed away to make room.

"Don't move, Potter," Snape said lazily, "Let me—"

Before Snape could finish speaking, Harry raised his wand and pointed at the snake and shouted: "Wadi Wasi!"

The snake was launched directly into the air and fell onto the head of Colin Creevey who was taking pictures with a "snap". The snake then wrapped around his neck.The surrounding students hurriedly retreated, leaving a large open space.

"Ah! Help! Help!"

Creevey was so frightened that he threw the camera away and sat down on the ground. He wanted to hold the snake with his hands, but he did not dare to touch it.The snake, which was knocked away by Harry's spell, became even more angry, spitting out the letter, ready to give Creevey a bite at any time.

"Don't move! Colin!" Gray came over and took out his wand.

On the other side, Snape also pointed his wand at the snake, preparing to end everything immediately.

Harry ran over at this time. He stared directly at the snake and made a "hiss...hiss..." sound in his mouth.

Is this snake language?

The black snake suddenly wrapped softly around Creevey's neck, like a snakeskin collar.

But in the eyes of bystanders, the snake seemed to be trying to wrap around Creevey's neck and strangle him to death.

If Gray hadn't known that Harry's original intention was to stop the snake's attack, he would have believed it.

Creevey's face turned pale. He was already frightened enough, but now that the snake was completely draped over his neck and shoulders, he was even more frightened to the point of standing on edge.

Snape waved his wand, and the snake on Creevey's shoulder was lifted into the air, and then disappeared into a plume of black smoke.

Creevey was so frightened that he sat on the ground, and the people around him began to whisper.When others were looking at Harry with surprise, Gray secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it was finally done.

Ron dragged Harry out of the Great Hall, Hermione walking hurriedly beside them.When they went out, people stepped aside one after another, as if they were afraid of getting into trouble.

"The Duel Club is here today, everyone, please go back!" Gray gave himself a loud voice.

That night, the news spread, and everyone knew that Harry was a Parseltongue.

The almost forgotten legend of the Chamber of Secrets was brought up again, and the young wizards all speculated that Mrs. Norris's attack was related to Harry.

"At that time Filch thought it was Harry who did it!"

"I'm telling you! He can't escape the involvement! He and Filch have a problem, otherwise who would attack his cat?"

"That cat deserves to die! It tries to follow me every time and guide Filch to my confinement!"

"The heir of Slytherin is actually in Gryffindor..."

"Why hasn't Dumbledore caught him yet..."

Walking on the road, you will hear people talking from time to time.

The next night, Gray was sitting in the office thinking about yesterday's duel with Snape. It seemed that he still had to work hard, and his current strength was simply not enough.

Just when I thought of this, green smoke suddenly appeared from the fireplace in the office, and then a green fire flashed. This is a method of communication between professors.

Just grab a handful of Floo powder and sprinkle it in the fireplace, shout the other person's name and say the words you want to convey, and your voice will be transmitted to the other person's fireplace.In the original book, Snape once used this method to ask Lupine to go to his office.

"All professors at Hogwarts, gather in the staff room! Please inform each other!" McGonagall's voice came from the fireplace.

Gray stood up, put on a cloak, and left the office.I met several professors along the way, and they walked quickly to the first floor together.

He hoped that Harry and the others had gained something and had learned about the entrance to the secret room, so he told the dean, Professor McGonagall, that the school would now summon professors to deal with the basilisk.

But when he walked to the staff lounge on the first floor and pushed open the door, the serious expressions on Dumbledore and McGonagall made him feel that it was not what he thought.

"Now we need to ensure the safety of the students." McGonagall said, "Please inform the deans of each college that students are not allowed to move alone and need to be escorted by professors."

"What happened? Minerva." Sprout asked worriedly.

"A student was attacked..." Mag looked very unhappy.

Gray's heart sank, this was too fast, there was an attack on the Duel Club the next day.

"Who was attacked?" Flitwick asked immediately.

"Hermione Granger, Gryffindor student."

"What happened to her? Is she petrified?" Gray asked hurriedly.

"Yes, Gray." Dumbledore said with a serious expression, "This means that the Chamber of Secrets has indeed been opened again."

Gray quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Albus... you must know... who?" McGonagall asked.

"The question is not who," Dumbledore lowered his head in thought, "the question is, how..."

how?Gray was almost about to speak out!

"It's not good! It's not good! The greenhouse is on fire!"

A scream came from the corridor. It was Peeves' voice: "Fire! Fire!"
