Hogwarts Life Guide

After listening to Tang Ning's explanation, Professor McGonagall generously forgave him. It was obvious that Professor McGonagall felt a little guilty about the unsafe factors in the school... Probably. Without saying any words of comfort, Professor McGonagall arranged for Tang Ning to go to school every day. Go to the library every weekend to help Mrs. Pince organize the books for three weeks as punishment.

In the end, due to some concerns, Tangning did not tell anyone about the sudden increase in her magic power.

For Tang Ning, it would be better to be supervised by Filch. Although Filch couldn't do anything to Tang Ning, if she could always see Filch's face that has been very ferocious recently,

As the saying goes, rumors stop only among the wise, so Tangning was worried about the IQs of the young wizards studying at Hogwarts.

Students in the lower grades basically move together in groups. They are afraid that they will be attacked if they act alone.Relatively speaking, the senior wizards were much calmer.

During this time, everyone secretly exchanged amulets, amulets, and other things to protect themselves without telling the teacher.This practice soon became popular in the school, and Neville bought a smelly onion, a pointed amethyst and a rotting salamander tail.When Neville is told that he's not actually in danger - he's a pureblood and therefore can't be attacked.

"They started with Filch," Neville said, his round face filled with fear. "Everyone knows I'm pretty much a squib."

Tang Ning originally thought that Neville would avoid her due to the overwhelming suspicion. Unexpectedly, a few days after Tang Ning returned, Neville actually came to him and stammered to express his trust in Tang Ning.After Hermione, drop!friendzoned.

This good guy card really touched Tangning.

The undercurrent among the students did not affect the school's normal teaching. As the highest-ranking school in the UK, Hogwarts contains most of the young wizards in the UK and even Ireland.It is almost unlikely that teaching activities will be stopped because of one or two assaulted students.

In fact, Tangning had just used the help of cousin Tonks to find the records of when the Hogwarts Chamber of Secrets was opened 50 years ago. When the Chamber of Secrets was opened for the first time, a student died.But even so, other students were still attending classes normally, and Hogwarts just replaced an old principal who was no longer in charge.Later, the Ministry of Magic intervened in the investigation, and of course no secret room was found.Cousin Tonks said in the letter that she only found out that the Ministry of Magic had identified a suspect and sent him to Azkaban, but she could never find out the whereabouts of this person, and he didn't even have a name. .

Cousin Tonks also collected a very useful piece of information. The student who died due to the attack 50 years ago was Moaning Myrtle who often stayed in the bathroom, and the place where Mrs. Norris was petrified was not far from the bathroom. Far.

But it is difficult to find a breakthrough from Myrtle. If Myrtle really knew something 50 years ago, the Ministry of Magic would definitely be able to find the secret room.Tangning and Hermione also spotted Harry and Ron sneaking around at the door of the women's bathroom. They left immediately after seeing Tangning.

When Tangning and Hermione found Myrtle and asked her if she had discovered anything on the night of Mrs. Norris's attack, Myrtle confirmed to Tangning that she was only called by the wrong name, not by the wrong nickname.

"No one cares about poor Myrtle. Two people asked the same question just now..." she cried, then opened the faucet and fiddled with the water flowing inside, splashing Tangning all over.Ghosts are indeed magical beings. They can not only appear to penetrate walls, but also materialize and touch objects.

"But poor Myrtle doesn't know anything. They said they liked me before!" Myrtle cried loudly, spilling water in the pool everywhere, even Hermione got a lot of it. " You are all liars!" With that said, Myrtle suddenly flew up and got into the toilet in the bathroom, splashing a lot of water.

Tangning could only helplessly shake her head at Hermione.

Back in the common room, Tangning and Hermione found a new notice on the bulletin board. The parchment said that the Duel Club would be held in the auditorium at eight o'clock tonight!

"I wonder who will teach us?" Hermione said, she was looking forward to this. "I heard people said that Flitwick was a dueling champion when he was young. Maybe he will teach us."

"We'll know when the time comes!" However, looking at the slightly fancy words on the parchment, Tangning had a bad feeling.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the long dining table in the auditorium disappeared, and a gilded stage appeared along one wall, illuminated by hundreds of candles floating above.The ceiling became as dark as velvet again, and almost all the students in the school were here, crowded together, everyone holding their own wands, their faces full of excitement.

Amidst the discussions among the students, Lockhart walked onto the stage. He was wearing a purple-red robe and was dazzling.The person next to him was none other than Snape, still wearing his usual black clothes.Lockhart waved everyone for silence, and then shouted: "Come around, come around! Can everyone see me? Can everyone hear me? Great! That's right, Professor Dumbledore allows me to open this shop A small dueling club, fully training everyone in case you need to defend yourself one day, using the methods I have used countless times to protect yourselves - for details on this, please see my published works."

"Let me introduce my assistant, Professor Snape," Lockhart said, grinning broadly. "He told me that he himself knew a thing or two about dueling, and he generously Agree to help me with a small demonstration before class. I said, I don't want to worry you little guys - after I finish the demonstration with him, I will return your potions teacher to you intact. ,do not be afraid!"

Not a single student laughed in agreement with Lockhart's display of humor, and Tangning could see the impatience on Snape's face.

"Start now!" Snape turned to Lockhart and said.They bowed to each other, Lockhart at least, and moved their hands in many different ways, while Snape simply bowed his head quickly.Then they held their wands to their chests like arrows. "As you can see, we hold our wands in the normal dueling posture," Lockhart told the silent crowd. "On the count of three, we cast the first spell. Of course, none of us will do it. The other person’s life.”

Snape raised the corners of his mouth and whispered "One, two, three!"

They both jerked their wands over their shoulders at the same time.Snape shouted "Expelliarmus!" Suddenly a dazzling red light flashed and hit Lockhart in the chest.He was knocked off his feet, flew backwards off the stage, hit the wall, then slid down and curled up on the floor.

Many students began to applaud, most of them were Slytherins. Well, it seemed that no students from other houses except Tangning applauded...

Hermione was trying to stand on tiptoes to see Lockhart's situation clearly. "Don't worry, it's just a disarming spell. Even if it hits the body, you won't die." Tangning comforted him, but Hermione only stepped on him.

Lockhart staggered to his feet, his hat falling off and his wavy curls standing on end. "Okay, you see!" he said as he staggered back onto the stage, "This is a disarming spell - as you can see, I lost my wand... Professor Snape , it’s a great idea to show them this move, but don’t mind what I say, your intention of doing this move just now is obvious. If I want to stop you, there is no need to try hard. I think, for To increase their knowledge, you might as well let them see..."

As he said that, Lockhart probably noticed the murderous look on Snape's face and heard him say, "This is the end of the demonstration! Now I will come among you and divide you into groups of two. Professor Snape, if you Willing to help me..."
