[HP-DH] The second generation of the Big Four

Born in sorrow, die in happiness.

This is an old oriental aphorism that Cho Chang once said to Harry.Facts have proved that great men are not without reason.Their views are still widely circulated after thousands of years.

Harry didn't want to create panic at Hogwarts, but the Chamber of Secrets was too involved.Be vigilant at all times - in extraordinary times, the sense of urgency should be firmly engraved in the hearts of students.

To this end, the Weasley twins, under his and Ron's persuasion, sold the amulets.Harry didn't describe many spells in it. A Memory Curse, a Bubble Curse and a Weakening Charm—three spells, can ensure that the students will not die when they are attacked.At first, very few people bought it.Until the day of the Slytherin and Gryffindor Quidditch match, an attack caught teachers and students off guard.

Colin Creevey, the Hufflepuff boy with a cult following of Harry Potter, is still doomed.He was found on a short-cut path from the Hufflepuff Vault to the Great Hall.

The boy was wearing a Hufflepuff yellow and black house scarf, carrying binoculars and carrying his precious camera - clearly on his way to the game.

People can see from his petrified posture that Colin Creevey was rushing upwards at a galloping speed.But he stopped when he was turning a corner - he heard some noises, turned his head back while running, and then, he was petrified.The boy's terrified expression was frozen there, with a bubble covering his head, which looked very vivid and weird.

Unfortunately, the first person to spot him was Harry.

Administrator Filch insisted that it was Potter who did it.During this time, he followed Potter and Malfoy suspiciously, just to find out the so-called "evidence".

In fact, Filch knew that it was impossible for Potter to petrify Creevey.He was right behind him, so how could he have time to commit crimes?But the old administrator didn't care about this and deliberately ignored this point.For him, it doesn't matter who the murderer is, the important thing is that he needs a murderer to vent his anger.

"How could it be Potter again?" The students who followed immediately looked at each other.There is a factor called vigilance in the air—once the seed of doubt is planted, with a little "care", it will take root and sprout, and the branches will spring up.

At this time, the old principal with a fluttering white beard came hurriedly.After pondering for a moment, he asked the professors to send Colin to the medical room.After that he gave Gryffindor a full [-] points: because of the amulet sold by the twins, a life was saved.

The professors tried their best to appease the students, but no matter how hard they tried.Panic still inevitably spread in the castle.

During the latest history of magic taught by Binns, the students changed their lethargic state.Everyone was full of energy, for fear that they would miss even a little bit of news about the secret room.

In his dry, breathless voice, Professor Binns told the students what he knew about the millennium ago.That started with the four great wizards.Brilliant and ambitious, they founded Hogwarts and protected young wizards from Muggles.But the good times didn't last long, Gryffindor and Slytherin, the best friends, disagreed on the issue of blood.They even turned against each other for this, and ended with the departure of Slytherin.

Slytherin was gone, but his Chamber of Secrets remained.Including the monster in the Chamber of Secrets, according to legend, only his true heir can open the Chamber of Secrets and release the monsters - in order to purify the school and clean up those who are not worthy of the school's magic.

Of course, Professor Binns believes that all these are rumors, non-existent, and purely fictional.

However, rumors spread in the school because of this, and everyone began to become suspicious—later, under the deliberate guidance of Harry and Ron, the students of Hogwarts gradually began to face up to the attack.People usually walk together in groups of three or four, no longer alone, and develop the habit of casting a water mirror magic at the turning.

Such days lasted for a while, and amidst some people's worries and fears, they ushered in an exciting event.Just tonight, the school will be having a dueling club.

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

I don't know who wailed, when Lockhart, who was dressed up and radiant, appeared.Although this semester is less than halfway over, most of the boys have already recognized the essence of this year's Defense Against the Dark Arts professor—that is, a flowery pillow stuffed with straw.

Draco snorted disdainfully.He turned his head, and saw Hufflepuff who had stood beside him at some point and was showing a big smile to him.Even through the glasses, he could still clearly see the strangely bright light emanating from the pair of emerald pupils—Harry was eager to try.

Suddenly, the little platinum snake seemed to understand what the badger wanted to do.

Our savior, Hufflepuff's golden boy, Harry Potter who lived - says he's put up with Gilderoy Lockhart for so long!It's not just him, just look at Ron Hermione's tail Weasley and you'll know, Lockhart, he's already outraged everyone.

Very successful, he annoyed the future Big Four of the wizarding world.

The assistant was still Snape. The potions professor dressed in black walked in from the side door of the auditorium like a cloud of black mist with a cold face.He walked at a steady and fast pace, and his whole body exuded an aura that could not be ignored.The usually voluminous black robe rolled out in waves.

Lockhart was boasting, "Please don't worry—this is just a small demonstration. Don't worry, students, I will definitely return your Potions teacher intact!"

Unanimously, the little snakes in Slytherin smirked contemptuously—when they saw the dean curling up the corners of their lips, they all prayed in their hearts that Lockhart would be able to resist the fall.

Some people couldn't help suspecting that Lockhart did have some skills—at least, he could still smile as if nothing had happened under the sinister gaze of the Snake King.

"We should bow first in a duel," Lockhart said on stage to the silent crowd below.He bowed to Snape, doing a lot of flipping with his hands, and the Potions Master just raised an eyebrow impatiently.

"As you can see, we hold our wands in a normal dueling position. We will attack each other on the count of three, and of course we will not kill each other." Harry saw Snape showing displeasure Smile with good intentions——.

"One—two—three—" The two raised their wands above their heads, and Lockhart was sent flying after a flash of red light.The limp body was like a kite with a broken string. It drew a beautiful parabola in the air and hit the wall directly.

"It's so pitiful..." The blue-eyed Badger looked at Lockhart who was curled up by the wall and let out a disingenuous sigh.While shaking his head, he gloated and shed a few more crocodile tears by the way.

The next scene has been predicted.

"I'm sorry, Professor." Draco said lazily. As the head of Slytherin's year, it is necessary to set an example to the little snakes.

Ever since, with a weapon except you, the trapeze was once again staged in the auditorium.

"I'm sorry, Professor!" Ron coughed, and countless red blood cells appeared on the vase's face due to the heat of the fire.

"Ah! I really didn't mean to." Harry was especially innocent, and a hair removal spell swept away his curly hair.

Even if the steel and iron bones are comparable to Xiaoqiang, after such a toss, Lockhart can't bear it.A few girls headed by Lavender wept and sent the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor to the medical room.Before that, they even took away Gildero's hair to commemorate.

After getting rid of the people who should go, in the remaining time, the real confrontation kicked off.

Ron was the first to go, and he still held a grudge against Nott's "Mudblood".The gauntlet was issued on the spot, and Nott, who was fighting, was severely slashed.

Nott had had a rough time in Slytherin since then.Although his family background was not as good as Malfoy's, it was still very prominent among all pure-blood families.But just because of a kind of intention of the head of the academy, Blazy, the Slytherins who have always followed the wind began to shy away from him.

Slytherins worship strength and fear the strong.Nott has already begun to realize that without the shadow of his family, he, Theodore, is nothing.

The students walked onto the dueling stage in pairs, holding their wands, showing their immature but unyielding strength.

Harry was thinking of having a fight with Draco, and Platinum Snake was thinking about it too.But the Potions Professor didn't think so, he assigned Draco to Neville, and Harry chose Hermione.

At first, Hufflepuff thought it was just a friendly duel with Hermione.They bowed to each other, and Ravenclaw gave him a natural smile as he walked up to him.But—when they turned their backs and stood facing each other, everything changed quietly.

It seemed different, when Harry caught Hermione's gaze.

The little girl was not angry and majestic, her eyes were sharp, and her hand holding the wand was firm and unshakable.

The overwhelming magic pressure swept from all directions, seemingly pervasive, making people tremble.

Hermione Granger, she is like Athenaia (1) born from the thunderstorm, sword and mind, light and protection - salute!Our Goddess of War!

Harry thought of the evaluation of Hermione he had read in Wizards Weekly.She always thought it was grossly overrated and unfair.And to get to the bottom of it - Ron gritted his teeth for this - because the editor-in-chief became the number one suitor after witnessing a fight with Hermione.

But whatever the reason, Harry had to admit - Hermione was so powerful, fierce, dominant and... charming now.

Flipping the wand in his hand, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The soaring goshawk patrols the territory, and the running badger patrols the territory.

Just as the fierce fighting spirit was ignited in their eyes, the duel was about to start.

"You need firmness, determination and confidence!"

"Don't be timid, try again, Min."

Hermione raised her hand, her eyes blurred.But it was clear in her ears, and she could hear someone teaching her how to chant mantras over and over again.From the pronunciation to the gesture of waving the stick, the man was very patient and took the trouble to correct it.He was very good at it - Defense Against the Dark Arts, the only subject she wasn't good at.

But who could this person be?

Hermione thought, feeling soft in her heart.

Her steps took a step apart, showing a tendency to open and close.The magic wand in his hand drew a series of smooth pale gold lines in the air, and immediately, the dazzling magic light speed shot out to the opposite side with a powerful punch——like a bolide dragged its tail, and in an instant, the magic spell flew , sparks fly.

Harry took a clever step back, and at the same time, his hand moved across a circular arc as if in slow motion, soundlessly, the spell that raged with violent force was like a stone falling into the water, ripples Then it vanished into nothingness.

Hermione's eyes widened suddenly, and became clear again. She could see the figure on the opposite side clearly - black hair, green eyes, curved mouth corners, shallow dimples...

"Harry..." the ginger-haired girl murmured, and she let go of her wand and fell to the ground.

(1) Athena, goddess of wisdom and war.The Mycenaean slate refers to her as the "distress", and in some later epics and prayers, Athena is often referred to as the "queen (πτνια)"-it is perfect to describe Hermione.

The author has something to say:

Some questions about this chapter will definitely be written later.Just like what the old headmaster thought, I gave him a name for Harry's curse, and I will reveal it XD
