HP Princess bravely enters Hogwarts

On the campus of Hogwarts, gossip spread like wildfire, and everyone was whispering about the mysterious legend that the Chamber of Secrets would eliminate all mudbloods.

Segnus frowned and cursed inwardly, where did these rumors come from?

She had clearly cleaned Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets thoroughly, leaving no trace behind.

But in her mind, it was like being bitten by a small insect. The only uncertainty - Gareth, was like a stubborn stone, weighing heavily on her heart.

Gareth, who stole her diary, now becomes a stumbling block in her plans.

Cygnus bit her lip, her eyes flashing with anger, imagining Gareth's face as he spread rumors everywhere.

"What the hell!" she whispered to herself, her usual calmness almost broken by anger.

Today, Gilderoy Lockhart came up with a new trick and turned the auditorium into a grand dueling arena.

Cygnus stood aside with a sneer on her lips, but her eyes unconsciously turned to the expressionless Professor Snape, who was being dragged here by Lockhart as a guest.

"Look at his behavior, and he still calls him a guest?" The disdain in Segnas' heart surged out like a tide.

"I bet Snape is already cursing this self-righteous idiot in his heart."

Gilderoy Lockhart strode in, like a peacock with its feathers spread out.

Her shiny yellow hair was particularly dazzling under the candlelight, and her blue eyes sparkled with confidence.

The corners of his mouth turned up, revealing a row of dazzlingly white teeth, and he said lightly, "Slytherin boys, don't worry that I will embarrass your headmaster, Professor Snape. I will show mercy."

As soon as he finished speaking, several classmates actually cheered for him.

Pansy rolled her eyes and muttered quietly, "If he's really smart, he shouldn't say things like that."

Daphne next to him nodded and agreed: "Yes, look at Professor Snape's face, it's as black as the bottom of a pot."

"Idiot," Segnus said these two words with disdain, with cold sarcasm in her tone.

The young wizard was about to defend his idol, but when he turned around and saw that it was Cygnus, the courage that had just risen up in him seemed to be poured over by ice water. He could only silently retract his neck and continue fiddling with his wand.

"Oh, forget it, I'll just pretend I didn't hear it." He muttered to himself. He didn't dare to get angry at all towards the eldest daughter of the Malfoy family.

"Come on, little wizards, open your eyes!" Gilderoy Lockhart waved his wand with a smug look on his face, as if victory was already in his grasp.

"Let's begin the duel now. On the count of three, I challenge Snape.

Are you ready? Listen, one... two... three! " As soon as the voice fell, Snape waved his wand with an expressionless face and cast an "Expelliarmus" spell.

With a "bang", Gilderoy Lockhart fell to the ground in a mess before he could react, and his wand flew far away.

The little wizards around exclaimed in surprise, and the scene became awkward for a moment.

Gilderoy Lockhart gritted his teeth and struggled to get up from the cold stone ground, his movements somewhat awkwardly.

He gently dusted off his robes, and his arrogant eyes awkwardly swept across the astonished faces of a group of young wizards below the stage.

"Haha, well, of course, that was just a demonstration."

He pretended to explain casually, trying to save face, "Professor Snape, you are really capable. Well, now, I will select two warriors for a real duel. Cygnus, it's you!"

Segnus is well-known for her intelligence. Lockhart chose her this time, no doubt to give everyone a warning.

The atmosphere in the classroom was so tense that it was hard to breathe. Snape's eyes swept among the students. When he was about to announce Harry's name as Cygnus' opponent, a childish voice interrupted him softly, but with a firmness that could not be ignored.

"Wait a moment, Professor Snape." Gareth said as he stepped out with brisk steps. Snape looked at him with a frown, obviously questioning where this first-year's courage came from.

Gareth saw through Snape's concerns. He was not in a hurry, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing an almost imperceptible smile.

"Don't worry, Professor Snape, I just want to have a good 'communication' with Senior Malfoy."

He deliberately emphasized the word "communication".

Snape thought for a moment and finally nodded, tacitly agreeing to this unusual confrontation.

Gareth's challenge was accepted in silence.

A cunning look in Segnus' eyes flashed an inexplicable light in the dim duel arena. She bent her waist slightly and made a seemingly polite bow to her opponent Gareth.

Gareth looked calm and returned the same courtesy. As the countdown ended, the tense atmosphere froze instantly.

A smug smile appeared on Segnus's lips. He waved the magic wand in his hand quickly and said firmly, "Flying sand and rocks!" Suddenly, sand and rocks flew up, forming a rough sandstorm, rushing straight towards Gareth.

Gareth was quick-witted and quick-handed. He dodged the fierce attack with a sideways leap, a scornful smile on his lips.

"Is this all you can do?" He glanced at Cygnus mockingly, then raised his wand and swiftly struck back, "Imprison quickly!"

There was a glimmer of dissatisfaction in Segnus' eyes, she would not be shaken by such contempt.

She knew her own strength very well, and this was just a warm-up. She smiled slightly and waved the magic wand in her hand gently, "The water is surging!" Suddenly, a stream of water sprayed out from the ground and headed straight for Gareth.

Gareth frowned and quickly jumped up to avoid the sudden column of water.

The hem of his clothes was still wet by the splashes, which made him a little annoyed.

He sneered, "It seems you have some tricks up your sleeve."

The corners of Segnus' mouth rose, she knew her chance had come.

What she wanted was for Gareth to underestimate his enemy.

"Of course, I still have many more you haven't seen." She replied softly, waving the wand in her hand again, "Blazing flames!"

A tongue of fire instantly shot out and rushed towards Gareth. This time, Gareth did not dodge, but drew a circle on his chest with his wand. When the tongue of fire encountered this circle, it was immediately deflected and scattered.

"Good defense, but don't think you can defeat me easily." Gareth snorted coldly and attacked again, "Freezing Magic!"

Senus felt the temperature around her drop suddenly, and she knew that she couldn't fight head-on this time.

She cleverly chose to dodge and leaped to the side nimbly.

Gareth sneered, raised his wand, and shouted, "Dragon out of the hole!" In an instant, a poisonous snake flew out from the tip of his wand and headed straight for Segnus.

This move was obviously intended to intimidate Sensenas.

However, Segnus was not panicked at all. She cleverly used a "take off" spell and easily jumped to the side.

At the same time, she pointed her wand at the poisonous snake and whispered, "Petrification spell!" The poisonous snake instantly turned into a stone sculpture in mid-air and fell heavily to the ground.

"It seems that you really underestimated me." Segnus raised the corners of his mouth, with a hint of pride in his eyes.

As early as when Gareth used the "Dragon Out of the Hole" trick, Segnace was ready for it, and it was worth the petrification spell she had recently developed.
