[HP] Subversion - Destined

Dumbledore stayed behind to deal with the aftermath, and Snape escorted me to the medical wing. After Madam Pomfrey's examination, in fact I was only slightly electrocuted, and my body was still very healthy.After confirming that there was no problem, Madam Pomfrey pulled Snape aside and talked in a low voice. Draco also woke up, but he was injured more seriously than me and could only lie on the hospital bed.

When he learned that our broom hit the Whomping Willow, and there was no doubt that there was no body left, Draco said indifferently: "This is just right, there is a reason to ask father to buy the latest version of the rocket crossbow!"

"You're delusional!" The door of the medical wing was suddenly pushed open, and then the platinum nobleman Lucius walked in aggressively with an angry face mixed with a little worry, "Immediately! Immediately—quit me from the Quidditch team! You can fall from a height of thousands of feet in a small game?! If your godfather hadn’t arrived in time, would you still be sitting here talking nonsense?!” He hit the ground hard with his snake staff, "Damn Dumbledore, you idiot who eats rice! How could he allow a match in this weather?!"

"Calm down! Mr. Malfoy, keep absolutely quiet in the medical wing! Shout out!" Madam Pomfrey dared to reprimand anyone in her territory.

Hearing that Lucius asked him to quit the Quidditch team, Draco's face finally changed, and he looked at his father cautiously, "I'm sorry, Father... this time was really just an accident! I promise it won't happen! Please trust me, please let me continue..."

"No! I will never let you touch the broom again!" Lucius didn't even want to interrupt his defense.

"Don't do that, Senior Lucius!" At this moment, a familiar voice sounded from the door again, and Lockhart's beaming smile, who was always dressed in flirtatious clothes, was extraordinarily dazzling, "It's okay for a child to have a special interest. , Although it is a bit dangerous, but the chance of something like this is very small, if you encounter it today, you will use up your share in this life, so you don't have to worry about it in the future." He patted Lucius on the shoulder, and the latter avoided subconsciously.

"What are you doing here?" Lucius raised his eyebrows in disgust.

"The master is gone, I can't stay here as a guest, but I really want to spend the night at your house..." Lockhart stroked his chin, with a foolish smile on his face, "Ah, Harry, Senior Snape , and Madam Pomfrey, long time no see!"

"So you know you're a guest!" Lucius glared at Lockhart as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything in the end. He turned to vent his anger on me, and his blue-gray eyes stared straight at me: "It's you again, brat? I should have known earlier that staying with you would be no good! What kind of savior, I think it's a disaster!"

"Lucius," Snape said before Madam Pomfrey, "you are so free now that you even care about the childish behavior of these underage wizards? If you still believe me, you should know that Draco Nothing will happen..." He glanced at me coldly, "At the same time, I will not let him be assimilated by some uncompletely evolved wild animals..."

"Now the patient needs to take medicine and rest, all of you leave here and no one will stay!" Madam Pomfrey, holding several cups of medicine, unceremoniously squeezed past Lucius and approached Draco's hospital bed, and stuffed a cup first Give me the smaller one, push all the others in front of Draco.

I immediately poured down the potion, enduring the disgusting taste: "Madam, can I go back to the lounge first?"

Madam Pomfrey looked at me from head to toe seriously: "Come back to the medical wing tomorrow, and you must tell me if you feel uncomfortable—it would be better if someone can take you back..." For some reason, she glanced at Si Nepe glanced.I raised my head and met Snape's eyes, his eyes were deep and complex, with deep meaning and no emotion at all...

"Leave it to me!" Lockhart said, putting his arm around my shoulders, and I was dragged out of the hospital wing just in time to say goodbye.

On the way back to the common room, Lockhart's eyes glowed and he swore: "Harry, I heard you also encountered a dementor? It's a pity I wasn't there at the time! As long as my Patronus comes out and guarantees that they will come and go How much!" He asked with great interest, "By the way, you have successfully cast the Patronus Charm, right? Very good! What form is it?"

"The eagle—it's a bit small, and the number of dementors will be powerless." I shook my head helplessly. Lockhart's habit of boasting and arrogance is almost ingrained, and he was the one who faced the dementors at that time. , I think he has to run away like me.

"You are wrong Harry, the strength of a Patronus is not measured by its size." Lockhart retorted with a smile, "The Patronus Charm relies on the power of the mind, it sounds a bit mysterious, but think about it, what? It is happiness, which is a kind of joy that comes from the heart. After you use it more times in the future, you will find that recalling happiness is not a necessary condition. At this time, what supports the spell is self-confidence, which also comes from the self-confidence in your heart. Subconsciously, the successful casting has been taken for granted, so it is this kind of pure self-confidence that replaces happy memories as the condition. But how many people can face dementors without fear or wavering in their determination?"

Seeing my pensive look, Lockhart continued: "The Patronus is something that reflects the heart, and they inherit part of the owner's thoughts, so sometimes wizards like to use them as a communication tool - which means they are Spiritual beings - even if you successfully cast the Patronus Charm, when your fears take over and cast doubt on your Patronuses, it can weaken them or even make them disappear. On the contrary, a strong inner force such as The desire to protect something, or the sheer determination of faith to amplify their power, amplifies the spell's effect, and it's not impossible to dispel hundreds of dementors—of course the mana costs more."

No wonder my patron saint disappeared before my magical power was exhausted in the air. I thought it was because the number of dementors was too large, coupled with the influence of the turmoil in the body, it turned out that part of it was out of fear. I recalled Deng Bullido said that Snape's Patronus was unstable, why did he?I squinted my eyes and listened to Lockhart's melodious voice: "The form of the patron saint is generally fixed, but if its owner encounters any accident or stimulus, something that changes the essence of the heart, they will then transform into another form." .”

The topic seemed to be getting more and more serious, Lockhart suddenly stopped in his tracks: "Harry, that smart little girl often writes to me, and I know a little bit about your recent situation... let alone dog spirits or evil powers, As far as I can see today, your energy fluctuations are indeed not normal—Snape also seems to have a strange fluctuation, is it because of this that the evening class was canceled?"

"Hmm..." I didn't want to continue the topic, "By the way, how was your trip to Egypt?"

"Egypt! Naturally, it's wonderful!" He became elated again, "Egypt is really an ancient and mysterious country! Pyramids, sphinxes, hanging gardens, the Great Wall, dragon frames..."

"That... the Hanging Gardens are in Babylon, right? There are also Shenlongjiao and the Great Wall, which are from China..." My face was full of black lines, did he go to Egypt?

"Aha! Is it? Uh, it's easy to confuse if you have been to too many places..." Lockhart thought he was handsome and flipped his bangs, "That's not the point, the point is that I rescued a beautiful Egyptian princess on the way , you know, although I don't want to admit it, she is still attracted by my unique charm! She fell in love with me so passionately, but I can't reciprocate her feelings..." He raised his head intoxicatedly, his eyes seemed to penetrate After crossing the boundary of time and space and seeing something again, I coughed twice before recalling his wandering soul, "So in the end she gave me the gemstone necklace she was wearing next to her as a gift."

Lockhart, who finally got to the point, took out a bronze-colored chain from somewhere, and at the end hung an uncut gemstone, only the size of a fingernail, showing a pure dark blue color, like a miniature version of the Philosopher's Stone.With that pair of glasses as a precedent, I dare not underestimate what Lockhart sent me now, not to mention that this gemstone looks extraordinary.I received it in my hand without saying a word. I don't know if it was because of my heart, but I felt my mind brighten up.I thought of Snape carrying that Horcrux every day, this necklace should be given to him.

"It can help you concentrate and increase your insight, calm your irritability and stabilize your emotions—don't you think I am more gentle and graceful? This is also one of its functions!" Lockhart became more and more excited as he spoke, almost dancing, "Youth Gold stones are good things! No, I have to go to Egypt to collect more pieces!"

"Suppose you are in the way, is there something that must be resolved?" Snape's whispering voice sounded without warning, turning around, he did not know when he appeared behind us.

"Ah, Senior Snape!" Lockhart greeted him happily, "I just gave Harry a souvenir from Egypt. With it, the senior can continue to study at night, and you don't need to worry about Harry. Affected by something!"

"Worried? How can you see that I'm worried about him?" Snape hooked the corner of his lips with a smirk, "Is the savior's pitiful mind desperately in need of a broken rock to stabilize?" His words The hand that made me want to hand out the lapis lazuli didn't lift up again - I don't care!A wolf-hearted fellow!He didn't seem to be affected anyway... I lowered my head and fiddled with the necklace sullenly.

Then Lucius also came over, and Lockhart waved excitedly: "Senior Lucius!" The latter arrogantly raised his head and pretended that he didn't exist, but Lockhart's self-talk obviously reached a certain level, He put his arm on Lucius' shoulder indifferently, "Should we go? Wait a minute, I'll send Harry back first. —Ah, or do you want to go with me?"

"Who wants to be with you?!" Lucius immediately shook off his hand, and the anger that had just subsided rose again. Then he took a deep breath as if trying to force himself to calm down. He stared at the necklace in my hand and sneered, " Are you selling your useless junk again? What, how many galleons did this brat give you? The last thing a golden boy needs is money, isn't he?"

"Come on Lucius," Lockhart said, scratching his hair awkwardly, "Harry really needed it."

"Enough! Hogwarts is not a zoo, don't let me be too casual!" Snake King couldn't understand their procrastination, frowned, and lifted my collar two steps away from the strange atmosphere, "You guys Fuck off, we don't need two peacocks here who do nothing but show off their feathers."
