"V1 to see your strength. I am Qin Shi Huang. Transfer to my account and I will make you the general who protects the country. You have been kidnapped and sold. Jiangnan Leather Factory has closed down."

Harry Potter swore that this was the most chattering snake he had ever seen in his life. Then the whole dormitory was awakened because they all heard the hissing of the basilisk.

"sizzle"

This sound was probably equivalent to a "hehehe" laugh in Harry Potter's ears.

The youth version of Voldemort feels like he's not feeling well. What is this called? The rise of the basilisk?

Under the control of Hinata Hoshino, the sound of the basilisk kept repeating in the sewer pipes, waking up many people.

They walked out of their dormitories regardless of the curfew, and then they heard Filch's crying.

"Mrs. Norris, Mrs. Norris! What's wrong with you? How can you bear to let me die young?"

Filch saw the chuunibyou words written by Hinata Hoshino on the wall, but he didn't understand them. Turning around, he found Harry Potter who arrived first. He rushed over desperately and grabbed Harry Potter by the collar.

"It must be you, it must be you. It was you, Harry Potter, who killed my cat."

The rest of the students and the four deans came here one after another. Professor McGonagall looked at Mrs. Norris who was petrified, and a trace of pity flashed in her eyes. The cat was so cute, how could she petrify the cat?

Then, he turned his head and found Dean Thomas hiding in the darkness. There was nothing he could do, the light in the castle was dim, and he was wearing a black school uniform with some red edges, and his skin color was also darker, so Professor McGonagall didn't notice him at first glance.

Hinata Hoshino arrived at the scene at the same time as Dumbledore, holding Hermione, and Dumbledore waved the Elder Wand to separate Harry Potter and Filch.

"Argus, I understand how you feel, but I don't think Mr. Potter can master this kind of advanced dark magic at the moment. Let me take them to the school infirmary to have Madam Pomfrey check them out."

"Whatever you are looking at. You still have classes tomorrow, so go back and get some rest. Also, since Filch thinks it was Mr. Potter who did it, let Mr. Potter go with us."

"Professor McGonagall..."

Lily wanted to say something else but was interrupted by Snape. Snape held Lily's hand and signaled her to believe in him.

Hinata Hoshino raised his eyebrows. Snape and Lily's relationship is improving very quickly.

Hermione blushed. With so many people around, Hinata Hoshino was unwilling to let her go.

Dumbledore used a levitation spell to take Mrs. Norris and Dean to the school infirmary. Then on the way to the school infirmary, they met Lockhart, who looked depressed. He seemed to be going to the school infirmary as well.

Lockhart forced a smile and punched the sewer pipe with his face again, then smashed the sewer pipe with his right butt. Lockhart felt that his body was about to fall apart and he could only ask Madam Pomfrey for help.

"Hello, President, professors."

Dumbledore looked at Lockhart with a dark cloud over his head, and felt that Lockhart's death star was shining.

He felt that Lockhart might not last long. Dumbledore felt a little headache. If Lockhart did not make it to next year, what would happen to the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor next year?

There are not many talents left for the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor in the entire wizarding world. When most capable wizards heard that they were going to be the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, their expressions were like the next sentence of cutting off someone's money.

"Hello, Mr. Lockhart, are you feeling unwell?"

"It's just a minor illness. Thank you for your concern, Principal."

Madam Pomfrey was awakened, and when she saw Madam Norris and Dean, she exclaimed. When she saw Lockhart, she showed impatience in her eyes.

Chapter 143 Wizards Duel Club

"Professor Lockhart, I remember that I was here not long ago and I only had scratches."

Hinata Hoshino's snickering made Hermione feel helpless. What should she do? Her boyfriend was so childish.

Hinata Hoshino certainly knew that after being injured by the elf that day, Lockhart went to the school infirmary after class, crying and shouting, asking Madam Pomfrey to treat him as soon as possible.

Dumbledore poked the man and the cat twice with the Elder Wand, and told Filch in a very sure tone that Mrs. Norris was fine, but petrified.

"Argus, please don't worry. Your cat is just petrified, including Dean. Pomona, if I remember correctly, the mandrakes planted last year should be ripe soon."

"That's right, Headmaster. In about a month or two, the mandrake will be mature, and then we can give it to Professor Snape to prepare a potion to remove the petrification."

Under Lily's gaze, Snape's mouth twitched into an ugly smile and nodded to indicate that there was no problem.

This made Harry Potter look in amazement. He had never expected that the old bat Snape would be subdued by his mother. This should be the so-called "there is always someone who conquers you".

Harry Potter thought this was a good thing. At least in the modeling class, Snape no longer had the same low-pressure aura as before.

Snape always looked at Lily with an ugly smile, and then explained to them how to brew potions. In the Potions class, he never called them troll-heads again.

Hinata Hoshino looked at Snape helplessly. Although Snape could no longer have a sour face in the Potions class, he had a lot of sour faces when he was teaching him privately. Although he didn't dare to scold him or say any dirty words, this made Hinata Hoshino very unhappy.

"If you don't let me try, I probably won't be able to save the cat, but saving a human should be no problem."

Hinata Hoshino put down Hermione, who was only in her pajamas. Dumbledore nodded, stepped aside, and signaled Hinata Hoshino to try and see if he could remove the petrification from Dean.

Filch was somewhat disdainful, he was a Squib, that was true, but he was still quite knowledgeable, if even Headmaster Dumbledore was incapable of removing the petrification spell on them, then it seemed that Hinata Hoshino should not be able to remove it either.

Although Lockhart was in pain, he still looked at Hyuga Hoshino with a look of watching a show. Although he had no memory of being possessed by the youth version of Voldemort, he had a vague feeling that Hyuga Hoshino was incapable of removing this petrification.

Hinata Hoshino bent his finger, and the nail of his index finger cut his thumb, and a drop of blood popped out and fell into Dean's mouth. Dean suddenly opened his eyes, straightened up, and looked around with a confused face.

This shocked Filch, and the smile on Lockhart's face froze.

Just when Filch wanted to hug his thigh and ask for help, Dean suddenly fell down again. Lockhart wanted to say that he was taking human life lightly, but Dumbledore spoke.

Because Dumbledore re-examined Dean the moment he fell down and found that the petrification spell on him had indeed been lifted. The reason he fell into a coma was that the power that lifted the spell on him caused a great conflict with the spell, which made his body weak.

"Argus, Mr. Zhang did break the spell, but what he said is correct. Even a little wizard cannot bear the impact of breaking the spell, let alone Mrs. Norris."

Filch's face darkened instantly. He thought that his wife, Mrs. Norris, could only maintain this status quo until the Mandrake matured in a month or two, and then the spell could be lifted. He felt a little sad. After all, this cat had been with him for so many years and had always been his only companion during night patrols. Now he was the only one left on night patrol.

Madam Pomfrey found that Dean's spell had been lifted, so she was relieved and prepared to check Lockhart, because Lockhart's complexion was indeed not good, his expression was listless and a little pale, and he looked like he was seriously injured.

"Oh my God! Professor Lockhart, how did you get injured so badly? It's like someone hit you hard in the face with a steel pipe and then fell from a high altitude."

Hinata Hoshino secretly sighed in his heart, Hogwarts is indeed full of hidden talents. The situation described by Madam Pomfrey is exactly the same as what happened to Lockhart.

The problem was temporarily solved. Hinata Hoshino took Hermione back to the Room of Requirement to play poker. They couldn't give up halfway.

Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall left with an excuse. Snape, Lily and Madam Pomfrey worked together to make a healing potion for Lockhart.

During this period, even Lily, who had just been resurrected, found Lockhart very annoying after hearing about his deeds. So even though Snape was the only one who needed to brew the potion, three people went to make it.

Professor Sprout also left early, using the excuse that the mandrake needed to be taken care of. Only Professor Flitwick was stopped by Lockhart because he was not strong enough to run fast enough.

Lockhart began to brag about his experiences, and as he spoke, he began to boast about the fact that Professor Flitwick was once the champion of the wizard duel competition.

Because Lockhart remembered that Hogwarts had a wizard dueling club before, but it had been suspended for a long time. He wanted to be in the limelight, so he naturally couldn't miss any opportunity. He wanted to start a wizard dueling club again, so he naturally wanted to ask Professor Flitwick for advice.

Professor Flitwick was a little impatient at first, but when he heard that Lockhart was going to apply to reopen the Wizard Dueling Club, he became interested.

Professor Flitwick still remembered his outstanding performance in the wizard duel.

Moreover, Professor Flitwick also felt that the current young wizards did not have a deep understanding of wizard duels. Even in the senior grades, the few combat spells they could learn were still relatively unfamiliar.

Professor McGonagall once complained to Mr. Hinata. In recent years, the number of wizards who pass the test and become Aurors has been decreasing.

Because, the minimum standard for a wizard to become an Auror is to know the Disarming Charm and the Shield Charm. However, the Aurors who passed the test before sat in the office for too long and became rusty with the Shield Charm.

After drinking the healing potion, Lockhart obviously recovered a lot. He returned to his office excitedly and began to write a plan to apply for the restart of the Wizard Dueling Club.

The young version of Voldemort was obviously disdainful of Lockhart's actions, but he also wanted to take this opportunity to observe Harry Potter's abilities up close. He had already seen in Lockhart's memory that he was defeated by Harry Potter.

This made Voldemort's youth version feel incredible. Judging from Lockhart's class situation during this period, the level of most young wizards is really poor. If you think about it this way, how can a newborn Harry Potter defeat his future self?

Chapter 144 Lockhart's Provocation

After seeing Lockhart's application, Dumbledore felt a little overwhelmed. Although Lockhart performed well later, he still firmly believed that Lockhart's ultimate purpose in restarting the Wizards Dueling Club was to make himself stand out.

As well as showing off his personal charm, of course it is not ruled out that Lockhart wants to promote his own book.

However, Dumbledore changed his mind and felt that it would be beneficial to reopen the Wizard Dueling Club. At most, the deans of other colleges could be asked to help Lockhart together.

In this way, these little wizards can learn something, and at least, if any changes happen in the future, they can protect themselves.

When Hinata Hoshino and Hermione got up in the morning and went to the hall to have breakfast, they saw the notice posted there. The notice clearly stated that Lockhart was going to open the Wizard Duel Club again.

All young wizards are invited to participate, and the deans of the four colleges will serve as secondary leaders of the club.

Hinata Hoshino found it very interesting. His main job during this period was to copy photo frames and let the wooden clone study runes and delve into the power of blood.

Then, he seemed to have nothing to do except playing poker with Hermione.

Then Draco saw the announcement and walked straight up to Hinata Hoshino and started to provoke him.

"See? You country bumpkin from a foreign country, do you know what a wizard duel is?"

"I may not fully understand what a wizard duel is, but I know that if you keep jumping around in front of me, I can easily turn you into a ferret."

"伱......"

Draco obviously wanted to say something, but his two followers, Goyle and Crabbe, grabbed his left and right hands.

They took him away forcefully. After all, they should have stopped this kind of behavior of running into a gun barrel. Everyone knew that Hinata Hoshino's strength was unfathomable and he was not their master at all. Draco could have gone up to him and caused trouble.

Night falls.Hinata Hoshino and Hermione went to the classroom where the Wizards Duel Club was located.

Lockhart pulled Snape and kept talking. If Lily hadn't been sitting there as the Potions Consultant, Snape would probably have given him a surprise attack.

Hinata Hoshino could probably guess what Lockhart was thinking.

Professor McGonagall has been the head of Gryffindor for many years. Her strength is obviously not to be underestimated.

Professor Flitwick, how could the champion of the wizard duel be so weak?

Professor Sprout's words seemed more like those of a peasant woman than a professor. Lockhart felt that even defeating her would be dishonorable, not to mention the possibility of being defeated by her.

It seems that, although his hair is a little greasy, Snape is already the younger one in the group and looks well-dressed.

If he could compete with Snape, or even defeat him, it would undoubtedly bring Lockhart great fame.

Not to mention that at Hogwarts, no house except Slytherin liked Snape.

"That's right, Professor Dumbledore allowed me to open this small dueling club to fully train everyone in case you need to defend yourself one day. Protect yourself in the same way that I have used countless times - for details on this, Please see my published work.”

This statement is in line with Lockhart's personality. But what is surprising is that Lockhart actually used an amplification spell on himself.

"Let me introduce my assistant, Professor Snape. He knows a thing or two about dueling himself, and has agreed to help me with a demonstration before class. After I have finished demonstrating with him, I will also return your Potions teacher to you in good condition."

Hinata Hoshino saw that Snape's mouth twitched. He was about to say something swear, but after glancing at Lily who was sitting below him, he decided to just smile.

During this period, Lockhart's performance in class improved, which made many people who were convinced that Lockhart was a liar change their minds.

Of course, this did not include Hermione. She only believed what she saw with her own eyes. Lockhart, who had captured a group of elves that day and had been teased by them into that state, did not seem like a good wizard.

"As you can see, we hold our wands in the normal dueling position, and on the count of three, we cast our first spell. Of course, neither of us will kill the other."
