HP's profit-seeking

When Danica woke up the next day, she saw that Stacey was going to explode, "How dare he!" She paced back and forth, "Yesterday we went into the Three Broomsticks and found that you didn't come in, He actually abducted you just like that! And got you drunk!"

Danica rubbed her head, her head hurt a little, "How did I come back yesterday?"

"Of course it was that Weasley who carried you back." Stacy began to ask her, "Why did he take you—"

Danica interrupted her just in time, "I drank all the wine without noticing, it's none of his business. I was eavesdropping on the people at the next table, and they mentioned the heir to the Slytherin team. "

Stacy threw herself on her bed, "Tell me, what else did you hear?" She forgot Fred immediately.

Danica, who is good at changing the subject, survived Stacy's pressing questions, but she couldn't escape the fate of staying in school again for Christmas.During the second week of December, Professor Flitwick made his customary collection of lists of students who stayed for Christmas.She signed the list, and Stacy and Roger were still going home, but Fred and George were also staying at school, and their parents were going to Egypt to visit their eldest son, Bill.

After Danica and Stacey had told the monster in the Chamber of Secrets that it was probably a basilisk the last time, they headed into the library to collect evidence to prove it, and until the week before Christmas they were all If it was a basilisk, it was not possible to find out how such a large body could wander around Hogwarts Castle without being noticed.

Danica, Roger, and Stacy came out from the library in the afternoon to go to the auditorium for dinner, and saw a small group of people gathered in front of the bulletin board outside the auditorium, chattering and discussing.They squeezed in and saw Stacey reading aloud a piece of parchment pinned to a bulletin board.

"In order to allow students to master the skills of self-defense, in case of future emergencies, we have decided to open a duel club starting today. The time is set at [-] pm, and the venue is the auditorium." Stacy said excitedly, "Too Great! I haven't learned anything useful about Defense Against the Dark Arts from Lockhart this term."

Roger raised his eyebrows, "I really can't guess who will teach us."

The three squeezed their way through the crowd, and Danica said, "But this will work after all, shall we go?"

"Of course." Roger and Stacy said in unison.

At eight o'clock in the evening they were in the auditorium again, and the four long tables disappeared, and a gilded stage appeared along one wall, lit by hundreds of candles floating overhead.The ceiling became as dark as velvet, and almost all the students from the school came, crowded together, each with his own wand in his hand, communicating with his companions excitedly.Stacy pulled Danica and squeezed forward, just in front of Fred and George.

"Hey Danica, was the drink good last time?" George winked at her, Fred bumped into him, and he quickly changed the subject, "I heard that Professor Flitwick was a dueling champion when he was young, Maybe he came to teach us."

"No, it's not him. When we came from the tower, we saw him go to Professor Sprout for dessert." Danica felt a little regretful, "I hope he can come to teach too."

Stacy didn't care, "As long as it's not Lockhart, everything else is fine."

Roger looked towards the stage and poked Stacy hard, "It's Lockhart. Merlin, please let us go..." He looked at the person who was walking towards Lockhart, and felt that Merlin would not let him go He said, "And Snape, crazy..."

Lockhart was wearing a fuchsia robe, full of coquettishness; Snape was still wearing his eternal black clothes, but without his black robe, he stood there looking capable and solemn, with his face still It's an expression of indifference.

Lockhart waved everyone to silence, then shouted, "Come around, around! Can everyone see me? Can everyone hear me? Great!"

He had his signature smile on his face, bright and charming, "Well, Professor Dumbledore allowed me to start this little dueling club and fully train everyone in case you need to defend yourself one day, using the method I have used countless times. ways to protect yourself - see my publications for details on this."

Danica wailed in despair, "Forget it, he can't even deal with the Cornish elves."

Lockhart couldn't hear her wailing from the audience at all, "Let me introduce my assistant-Professor Snape," he even grinned, "He told me that he himself is a little bit familiar with duels. Knowing a thing or two, he also generously agreed to help me do 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 still show you Your Potions teacher will return it to you intact, so don’t be afraid.” He blinked down, and a group of female students screamed in an instant.

The corners of Snape's mouth rose slightly, and he looked at Lockhart mockingly.

Fred said in surprise, "I can't tell that Lockhart is quite courageous. If Professor Snape looked at me like that, I would have run away long ago."

"It's not that he's brave, it's that he's thoughtless." Stacy pointed out the essence of Lockhart with disdain.

Lockhart and Snape turned to face each other and bowed.At least Lockhart bowed, flailing his hands a lot, and Snape just nodded impatiently.Then they raised their wands to their chests. "As you can see, we hold our wands in a dueling position," Lockhart said to the silent crowd. "On the count of three, we cast our first spell. Of course, none of us will take the opponent's life."

"I can't guarantee that." Snape smiled maliciously, showing his teeth.

"One, two, three—" They both jerked their wands over their shoulders at the same time.

Snape yelled, "Ammunition!" A blinding red light shot from the tip of his wand, striking Lockhart.He was slammed off the stage, hit the wall, and slid back down, curled up on the floor.

Several girls screamed, and Danica and the others clapped excitedly along with the Slytherin students. "It's great! It's so straightforward! Professor Snape turned out to be so powerful, and I've changed my opinion of him," she said.

Lockhart staggered to his feet, his hat off, his wavy curls standing on end. "Well, you see!" said he, staggering back onto the stage, "it's a disarming charm—as you see, I lost my wand—oh, thank you Miss Brown. Yes, Professor Snape, it's a very good idea to show them this trick, but don't mind me saying that, your intentions for doing this just now are obvious. If I want to stop You don't need to do anything about it. I think, to increase their knowledge, let them see--"

Snape had a murderous look on his face.Lockhart also noticed, and he changed the subject awkwardly, "The demonstration is over! Now I will come among you and divide you into two groups. Professor Snape, if you are willing to help me..."

They walk through the crowd and make pairs for everyone.Stacy was close to Danica, and Lockhart didn't notice when he came over. He put Danica and Derek, a Slytherin student who had a relationship with her before, as a team. Stacy and Fred group, Roger and George.

Although Derek didn't take the initiative to come to find trouble afterwards, Lockhart personally offered this opportunity, and he would not let go of this opportunity of revenge. He smiled maliciously at Danica.

"Face your partner!" Lockhart yelled back on stage, "Bow!"

Danica lowered her body slightly, and quickly got up, bowing.Derek just nodded.

"Wands up and ready!" cried Lockhart. "When I count to three, I'll cast a spell and disarm the opponent—just disarm—we don't want accidents. One—two— three--"

Derek did it on the count of two, and Danica knew he, the scum in Slytherin, wouldn't play by the rules, and she kept staring at his hand, and the moment he did it, she even He breathed a sigh of relief and rolled his eyes.

She cast a quick Iron Armor Charm to block a blue light, and then cast a backhand spell, "Front teeth match stick!" A white light hit Derek in the stomach, and he bent over, the front teeth in his mouth growing rapidly.He suddenly became very embarrassing and angry, panting desperately, while pointing his wand at Danica, "Tarantella dance!" Danica ducked aside, and the curse hit the floor beside her feet superior.

She narrowed her eyes, "You want to dance, don't you?" She waved her wand with ease, "The fire is hot!" The spell hit the ground next to Derek's feet, and the ground suddenly heated up, and his feet were scalding The ground was hot and kept jumping.

Fred and Stacy had stopped attacking each other and cheered her on. "Well done, Danica!"

Not only Danica and Derek, most of the others also started chaotic attacks, some even threw away their wands and started physical attacks.Lockhart stood on the stage looking in horror at the fighting crowd below, and he shouted, "I said, just disarm!"

Derek was still jumping on the spot, "Hot, hot!"

Danica kindly said to him, "Is it hot?" He kept nodding, and she smiled, "Then let me cool you down. Clear water is like a spring!" In an instant, it seemed that a whole basin of water flowed from the top of his head. When it splashed down, when it flowed to the ground and the hot ground produced a burst of white steam, it almost covered Derek's body.

"So handsome, Danica!" Fred exclaimed excitedly, "As expected of me—" he nearly blurted out just in time.George stopped practicing with Roger, and asked him curiously, "You deserve it?" Fred raised his hand and made a movement of zipping his mouth shut.

"Stop! Stop!" Lockhart shrieked.Snape couldn't stand it anymore, and took over the power. "Curse stop!" he yelled.The spell underneath all of a sudden, Derek is no longer jumping, but he is soaked through.Others didn't look very good either. Some had their heads broken, while others were lying on the ground panting heavily.

"I think I'd better teach you how to stop unfriendly magic." Lockhart stood in the middle of the auditorium with a flustered expression. "Please volunteer to come up—" After that, he argued with Snape for a while, and finally Harry and Malfoy was caught on stage.

"One-two-three-go!" cried Lockhart.

Malfoy quickly raised his wand and roared, "Oooh!" A long black snake suddenly jumped out of the head of his wand, landed heavily between him and Harry, then raised its head, Ready to attack.

Danica was staggered by the backing crowd in front of her, and Fred, who was standing beside her, quickly supported her.

Professor Snape came from behind the stage, and he pushed Malfoy behind him, "Stay still, Potter. I'll get him off—"

"Let me do it!" Lockhart shouted first.He raised his magic wand and waved it at the snake threateningly, only to hear a loud bang, the snake not only did not disappear, but jumped more than a foot high, and then fell heavily back to the floor.It became furious, hissed and swam towards the students below the stage, raised its head and bared its fangs, and the people below unconsciously backed away.

Seeing this, Fred silently took two steps in front of Danica, blocking almost all of her sight.Danica tapped his arm a few times with the shaft of her wand, motioning him to step aside, but Fred didn't move.

The poisonous snake on the stage found its target. It bared its teeth at a male student and opened its mouth wide.Harry stared at it suddenly and hissed in the language of snakes.The snake turned its head to look at him, and he said a few more words. The snake limply fell on the stage, its eyes still fixed on Harry.

Everyone was stunned in shock, Snape stepped forward and waved his wand, and the snake disappeared in a puff of black smoke.

Stacy tugged on Danica's sleeve, suppressed her screams, and whispered, "Harry Potter is a Parseltongue! Apparently he was communicating with that snake just now!"

Harry was dragged away by Ron and Hermione, and Lockhart was in no mood to continue. He waved his hand and told the students to go back.

Fred and George headed up to the eighth floor, while Danica, Stacy, and Roger headed out of the castle.They were still having a lively discussion on the way.

"My God, remember the information we checked? The heir of Slytherin is also a Parseltongue." Roger still has an unbelievable expression on his face. "I think this is really inexplicable. The heir of Slytherin is a Gryffindor."

Danica retorted, "It's not yet confirmed that Harry is the heir of Slytherin."

"But he is now the only Parseltongue in Hogwarts that we know of." Stacy said with a serious expression, "You are familiar with him, and he knows you are Muggle-born. Starting today, you You have to be with me and Roger all the time."

Roger echoed her, "Yes, Danica. There have been two assaults, and we don't want you to be a victim after that."

Danica was a little moved. She didn't say anything, but hugged Stacy and Roger tightly one by one.

The next day, there was a violent snowstorm outside.Early in the morning, Danica and the others saw a notice posted on the bulletin board that the last class of the semester had been cancelled.They sat around the fire and started working on their vacation homework, like the rest of the Ravenclaws in the common room.

After lunch, Danica felt a little sleepy, so she went back to her bedroom and took a nap.When she woke up, Stacey and Roger were still playing wizard chess in the common room. She went to sit next to them and picked up a book on alchemy to read.

After a while, Anna Edward came in from the outside, and she said to Danica, "There is a lion looking for you outside Danica, and it is anxious to scratch the door." She smiled narrowly.

Danica thanked her, closed the book, and got up to go outside.She opened the wooden door to the lounge and saw Fred standing outside, sweating profusely, visibly relieved to see her.

"Ravenclaw's password is really difficult." The anxiety on his face gradually faded, and his tone became much more relaxed. "Look what is the problem, where did the disappearing things go?"

"The answer is nothingness." Danica looked at the slippers on his feet. "You came from the Gryffindor lounge?" Isn't it true that you ran from the eighth floor of the castle to the sixth floor of Ravenclaw Tower? A very short distance.

Fred scratched his head. "Yeah, I heard there was another attack in the castle, and I wanted to tell you." He shrugged pretentiously.In fact, he rushed out of the door before he could hear Li Qiaodan talking about the victim. He was very worried about Danica, and he had to see her with his own eyes to be relieved.

"Who was killed?" Danica pressed.

He was suddenly embarrassed, "Actually, I don't know," the expression on his face became very serious, "I just know that I am worried about you."

The author has something to say:

1. Will my plot be a bit procrastinated...worry...

2. I'm starting school, and I don't have any saved manuscripts. I write a little bit every day, and try to make sure that I update it every day.

My application to sign a contract was rejected. The editor said that I didn't grasp the rhythm well and lacked a sense of expectation for the following. I wonder if you think so too?
