True enlightenment against heaven: Starting from the proud smile

When the battle list appeared, there was a lot of discussion among the little wizards.

These names were considered popular among all grades in each house, so it was normal to choose them. There was nothing to say, but what puzzled them was that Hermione was in the last group.

Isn't it a little unfair to have a sophomore versus a senior?

Seeming to see everyone's doubts, Lockhart smiled and said: "As everyone thought, the last group is indeed a bit unequal in terms of grade, but geniuses always need some pressure. I am very optimistic about Miss Granger's potential, Di I am equally assured of Mr. Gorey's strength, and I look forward to the duel between them, and I also hope that this pressure-based duel can accelerate their growth and the realization of their talents."

Lockhart solved the students' doubts like a spring breeze, and starting from the first group, the duel began.

I can only say that they are worthy of being carefully selected students.

The three battles were all played in a decent manner, without any of the childlike playfulness in the original work, and there was already a hint of a magical Auror.

In fact, like ordinary people, the moment many young wizards graduate from school is basically the peak moment of their learning in their lives.

Therefore, the senior students are actually not too weak.

However, when the duel reached the fourth scene, the originally formal style of painting became childish.

After Harry and Malfoy performed the wizarding salute, they launched an attack first before the countdown ended.

Malfoy: "Furnunculus!"

Harry: "Tarantollegra!"

Two curse beams flew towards each other at the same time. When faced with the attack, the two of them seemed to be operating in mirror images, both lying down to dodge. The evaded curse hit Ron, who was watching the show, and Malfoy's little brother Goyle respectively.

The former's face immediately became covered with pustules, and he cursed and didn't know what to say. The latter danced enthusiastically, and his fat body trembled.

On the stage, Harry and the two hurriedly got up from the ground, as if starting a stiff turn-based game, and began to stand and exchange skills.

Malfoy: "An own mistake!"

Harry: "Grin and hula!"

This time the two of them cast different spells. Malfoy summoned a venomous snake and swam towards Harry. Harry's spell hit Malfoy who couldn't dodge. Malfoy instantly opened his mouth and revealed The fat tongue began to huff and puff like a devilish laugh like a sleeping detective.

At this time, it should have been the best moment to pursue, but Harry had no intention of paying attention to Malfoy anymore, but looked at the venomous snake that was gradually losing control.

When the other student spread his wings and stood up, Harry in desperation made a special sound from his mouth, which sounded a bit sinister to other people's ears, like a hoarse whisper.

But the snake understood what he meant and turned its head to look at Harry curiously.

Harry smiled and successfully calmed the other person, but when he looked up again, he found that most of his classmates were staring at him as if they were a freak.

Harry's expression froze.

Snape, who had been watching silently outside the court, frowned slightly and was about to enter the court, but someone took a step ahead of him.

Lockhart walked into the field and waved his wand to disperse the venomous snake.

"Amazing talent, Harry. In the wizarding world, only those with outstanding talents can have the ability to communicate with animals, such as the great Merlin, Slytherin, one of the four founders of Hogwarts, and Our current principal, Dumbledore, can also communicate with Phoenix." At this point, Lockhart put his hand on Harry's shoulder and looked at the audience. "Although I don't know what Harry said to the snake, he controlled it. I think this is worthy of praise."

The little wizards in the audience, who were originally looking at Harry with disapproval, suddenly burst into applause of praise when they heard this statement.

Harry smiled amidst the applause. This was quite exciting and made him trust the professor around him even more.

Snape watched silently from the sidelines, but his frown tightened a little more.

At the same time, among the little wizards in the audience, Hermione finally connected the clues in her mind at this moment: the voice that only Harry could hear, the spider that ran away in fear of a natural enemy, the monster with the petrifying effect.

These conditions helped her completely lock in a creature, the basilisk.

Legend has it that the first basilisk was bred by "Helbo the Despicable," a Greek dark wizard who spoke a parseltongue. By hatching a male egg under a toad's body, he successfully cultivated this dangerous snake with extraordinary abilities.

Its attack method is the petrifying gaze of snake eyes and terrifying fangs.

In fact, basilisks appear in many cultural systems. The most typical one is Medusa in Greek mythology, which has no queen.

However, it was precisely after confirming that the monster was a basilisk that Hermione was a little puzzled.

According to the knowledge record given to her by Mr. System, the reason why the basilisk is so dangerous, in addition to its attack methods, is also because the basilisk itself can hardly be restrained by any other means except being controlled by Parseltongue.

Judging from the performance just now, there is no doubt that Harry has a Parselmouth. This can be said to be the best proof that he is the heir to the Chamber of Secrets. However, Hermione knows very well that Harry cannot be, so does that mean there is a second snake in the castle? Guy accent.

Who could it be?

Hermione couldn't help but look at Lockhart suspiciously.

"This victory belongs to Gryffindor Harry Potter! Then please come on to the last group."

At Lockhart's invitation, Hermione showed the trepidation of a young girl, and walked onto the stage to face Cedric Diggory, who was a head taller than her.

As the best man in Hufflepuff, Cedric not only has excellent character and knowledge, but also looks like Edward Cullen, the vampire hero in "Twilight".

Such a high-quality male god is naturally very popular among little witches.

There are also many supporters of Hermione here, all of whom are attracted by her appearance, so most of the voices are boys.

"Although you are a girl and younger than me, Professor Lockhart is very optimistic about you. In order to show respect, I will not hold back later!" Cedric raised his wand and politely reminded.

"I also want to see my strength. Come on, Senior Diggory!" Hermione also raised her wand.

The two walked to both sides of the duel stage, and after the salute, with Lockhart's "Start"!

The two moved at the same time and cast a spell.

"Disarm you!"

"Transform quickly!"

Hermione dodged the red magic beam, and she controlled the ground under the opponent's feet to become smooth and muddy.

The hesitation area was not small. Cedric, who was dodging, seemed to step on Jin Kela with one foot. The whole person seemed to be dancing in the mud and almost fell down.

"The wind blows!"

Cedric, who had just stabilized his body, stumbled again.

This time he simply fell into the mud and waved his wand towards Hermione.

"Flocks of birds!"

Suddenly, a large number of summoned birds attacked Hermione in the sky.

"Flames!"

The high-temperature flames rose up and engulfed the harassment. When Hermione dealt with the birds, Cedric also dealt with the ground under his feet.

The two people who were moving released the spell again.

"Petrify all!"

"Transform quickly!"

(PS: I suddenly saw the news that Ms. Magi Smith, who played Professor McGonagall in Harry Potter, passed away at the age of 89. It was so sudden. Those who taught her and those she taught have all left, and this time it is her turn... If you count carefully, the three headmasters of Hogwarts have all left. I really feel that youth is fading away and memories are yellowing. I hope that in the parallel world, I can still hear her voice in the castle... In memory of the best Professor McGonagall.)
