The Occult Warlock of Hogwarts

In Emma's mouth, she became an innocent person who was suddenly attacked by people from other colleges on her way to the astronomy tower.

Hermione became a bully who relied on her age. She would attack her whenever they disagreed with each other, and she was a lunatic - a cliché, and Emma also said the same about her father.

If Professor McGonagall really knew nothing about Hermione, she might have believed it, but for now she still asked nicely: "Don't cry, Miss Grossman. If you're not lying, why don't you tell Gran

Why did Miss Jie attack you?"

"I...I don't know," Emma said confusedly: "It's just...suddenly..."

Now Professor McGonagall was very unhappy. Not to mention her prejudice against Slytherin, her knowledge of Hermione alone allowed her to partially guess the truth of the matter, and her tone became stern: "Miss Grossman! I

I must remind you that lying is a shameful behavior!"

Snape half-closed his eyes, pretending he didn't hear or see anything. He saw Emma's thoughts, but he didn't want to deduct points or overly confuse right and wrong, so he kept precious silence.

Hermione gritted her teeth. She took out more crucial evidence and handed it to Professor McGonagall: "There is also a letter... Professor, but the content of the letter is somewhat..."

Professor McGonagall took the letter and looked at it briefly, her face changed from stern to kind, and quickly returned the letter to Hermione, saying kindly in a person's tone: "I understand, put the letter away - now

, Miss Grossman, what else do you have to say?"

Emma gradually stopped crying. She was not stupid enough to say "there is no signature on the letter", but said extremely aggrievedly: "I... don't know anything - how could I know why she did this?"

Snape let out a sneer of unknown meaning, which Emma heard was mocking him. Then Snape said tactfully: "Professor McGonagall, let me see, this is just a minor conflict between students."

, no one has any evidence to prove that it is the other party’s fault..."

Snape's concession was almost tantamount to asking for help. Of course Professor McGonagall understood it, and she said sternly: "Oh, Severus!"

Snape said gloomily: "I have to find Dumbledore."

Professor McGonagall realized that Snape knew more and that Dumbledore would take over next, so he stopped talking and led Hermione and Fred away.

During this period, Hermione hesitated and wanted to argue, but she knew that the truth of many things could not be proven at all. Now the only gain was to understand Emma Grossman's true face - maybe she had offended her somewhere.

She, Hermione still can't figure it out.

"Remember to be careful, this matter... ends here," Professor McGonagall told Hermione: "Good boy, I believe you are innocent, but don't run around, I think you won't believe this again in the future.

Did you plant a strange note?"

Hermione nodded vigorously.

After Professor McGonagall sternly warned the Weasley twins not to cause trouble in order to nip it in the bud, she parted with the students at the stairs of the castle.

Snape, who was in the classroom, had no intention of communicating with Emma. He asked Flint and Emma to go back separately, then went to the principal's office alone and said "lemon ice cream" to the gargoyle at the door.

He asked the password and walked directly in, then climbed up the spiral staircase without knocking. At the same time, he ignored the Phoenix and other things making strange noises, and said to the astonished Dumbledore behind the desk: "I found out

Got a student..."

"While you were confronting that Emma, ​​I found Gu Gu." DeWitt and Hermione were separated from the twins. They each had their own words to say: "Gu Gu found the messenger in the owl loft.

The body of an owl."

Hermione was startled, and her heart trembled at the slightest thought, and said: "You mean..."

"The neck was broken," DeWitt said: "There is no evidence, only eyewitnesses...saw the hawk, but the owl couldn't describe the person's appearance, so he could only say that he could recognize it when he saw it again."

"It's Emma Grossman," Hermione had never hated a person so much, and she said with accompanying emotions and panic, "I feel like it's her."

The verification method was very simple. The next day, DeWitt called for a witnessing eagle. He only glanced at Emma Grossman, and the owl said: "It's her! It was she who killed my compatriots!"

"I will take revenge," DeWitt promised before the owl went back: "Please be patient."

"She also wanted to snatch Dinah." After a night's rest, Hermione had a new idea. She watched the owl fly away and said, "Now that I think about it, she probably also wanted to snatch Dinah away when she attacked me."
Dinah rubbed Hermione's face and said, "Don't worry, I don't like her."

Hermione was moved and took Dinah's hand.

This made DeWitt fall into deep thought, and then he came up with a solution.

On Friday, a notice was posted on the bulletin board at the main entrance of the castle.

Lockhart, who had been brewing for a long time, made a grand reappearance and brought a carefully planned event in the form of a notice - the Duel Club, which was launched in the auditorium at eight o'clock that evening and was open to all students.

There is no student who is not interested in the duel. At half past seven, a large number of students have gathered in the auditorium. This grand occasion is comparable to the banquet at the beginning of school. The dining tables in the auditorium disappeared, leaving only a black stage with gold rims in the center. On the ceiling

The floating candle mainly casts light on the stage.

At the point, almost a second later, Gilderoy Lockhart appeared in a gorgeous purple robe. He was obviously dressed up carefully. Snape who walked on the stage with him was the same as before - black robe.

With a sullen face.

The combination of the two people resembles a big rooster with a flowered tail and a sinister old bat.

The rooster was arrogant, but the old bat was hiding malice. Under the personal demonstration of the two professors, Lockhart not only taught the students the etiquette of dueling, but also showed them the power of the disarming spell. He was knocked away by Snape.

I suffered a little bit, and then I suffered the same as before - pretending that nothing happened, getting over it, and moving on to the next item.

"This is the end of the demonstration! Start practicing in pairs, and I will randomly assign them later. Professor Snape, if you are willing to help me..."

They stood at both ends of the stage to maintain order and supervise the students' practice.

Of course, DeWitt was paired with Hermione, and Harry would not be separated from Ron. The twins deliberately miscast the spell and interfered with Marcus Flint's practice not far away - and then were caught by Snape.

, deducted five points - Flint flew out, receiving equal happiness from Lockhart.

Lockhart smiled. He was immersed in the satisfaction of controlling the students in the entire college at this moment. When he felt that it was almost time to show his presence, he stood up and said loudly:

"Okay, everyone! Now we are going to disrupt your combination. First of all, invite..."

"Wold!" Snape didn't even look at Lockhart. He remembered what Dumbledore had said and had this plan. He interrupted Lockhart and announced: "You are the first -

—Everyone present, pick an opponent!"
