Hogwarts: Undercover Death Eater Replaces the Dark Lord

Let's take a step by step.

……

Chapter 132 It’s good to act

"Hayden, are you going to protect this despicable villain?"

Fred and George got up from the ground and looked at Lex angrily.

"We thought you were an interesting person even though you're a Slytherin... We didn't expect you to be like them, protecting such a disrespectful person!"

"You may have misunderstood me." Lycos shrugged noncommittally. "Have I not always been this kind of villain image?"

"Are you a villain?" Harry shook his head. "I can't tell."

"Yeah, how can a villain save Hogwarts all day long and still get points from Dumbledore?" Hermione also agreed.

Lycos: “…”

What they said seemed to make sense...

It's bad, the next Dark Lord, whom Voldemort had high hopes for, was regarded as a decent character in Hogwarts.

He inexplicably thought of a line: Three years later and another three years later, if I don’t close the net, I will become the boss!

"Ahem..." Lycos coughed twice, "Those things were all accidents, all accidents..."

He felt embarrassed to be a villain because of all the praise from these people.

It just so happened that Lycos himself also disliked the personal attack term "mudblood", so he changed his words and said:

"Well...Draco was indeed a bit outspoken this time. I will help you teach him a lesson."

……

After the Gryffindors left, Draco was dragged to the corner of the field by Lycos.

"Lex, you're not really going to teach me a lesson on behalf of the Gryffindors, are you?" Draco asked in disbelief.

"I don't mean to lecture you." Lycos shook his head, "But it's best not to say the word 'Mudblood' again."

"Why? That's what my family has been saying since I was a kid!" Draco said unconvincedly. "Not just my family, but the Parkinsons, the Greengrasses, the Lestranges... they all say that. No one has ever blamed me for it!"

"That's because you're all wrong!" Lycos unconsciously raised his voice, "Do you really think being pure-blooded is a sense of superiority? Then why did you let Hermione Granger, a Muggle-born, take first place in the grade?"

"That...that's because she's lucky..." Draco said stubbornly.

"If you only got first place in one subject, maybe it could be explained as luck... but if you got first place in every subject, do you really think that can be explained by luck?"

Lycos laughed mockingly: "Or maybe we should look at this problem from another angle, Draco..."

"Among the twenty-eight so-called holy pure-blood families, you of the Malfoy family, Theodore Nott of the Nott family, and Daphne of the Greengrass family...is there one among you who stands out?"

Draco fell silent.

These so-called pure-blood family heirs who have never had to worry about food and clothing and have been spoiled since childhood may have received some good education at home and have a good foundation in magic.

But when they arrived at Hogwarts, a semi-open school, with few people to discipline them, they naturally let themselves go, and few were willing to devote themselves to studying...

In subjects like Charms and Transfiguration, you might be able to get a decent score with your basic magic foundation and good magical talent.

However, when it comes to subjects like History of Magic that require learning from scratch and rote memorization, they lose their advantage compared to Muggle-born wizards and cannot get good grades.

"Or take myself as an example,"

Seeing that he seemed touched, Lycos nodded with satisfaction and continued, "You also know that I was born in an orphanage in the Muggle world, and my bloodline and identity are unknown... Who knows if I am what you call a mudblood?"

"But Slytherin doesn't accept Mudbloods!" Draco retorted.

"It's just that you haven't seen it. The Sorting Hat hasn't told you the Slytherin admissions criteria." Lycos said casually, "What if I'm the special one? Wouldn't that mean you've recognized the Mudblood as the boss?"

"But..." Draco found this possibility hard to accept. "But the possibility is very small, Lecos. You must be a half-blood. Maybe one of your parents is a pure-blood!"

"You still don't understand what I mean, Draco." Lycos shook his head. "Although the wizarding world values ​​talent, bloodline cannot determine everything..."

"You may not know this, but Professor Snape's best friend during his school days was a Muggle-born."

"What?!" Draco's eyes widened. "Is this fake?"

"If you don't believe me, just shout 'Mudblood' in front of Professor Snape and see how he reacts." Lycos said softly, "Don't blame me for not reminding you... It's best not to actually do it."

The word "Mudblood" can be said to be Snape's lifelong pain.

Lily Evans was Snape's childhood friend and his lifelong sweetheart, but one was assigned to Gryffindor and the other to Slytherin.

In his senior year, Snape gradually mixed with Slytherin's Death Eaters. As a childhood friend, Lily Evans persuaded him several times, which made the rift between the two of them grow wider.

In the end, out of jealousy of Lily's good relationship with another boy named James Potter, and his fragile self-esteem, Snape called Lily "Mudblood".

That also marked the final separation of Snape and Lily Evans.

Snape would never forgive himself for saying that word in his life. It was a thorn in his heart throughout his life...

"What would happen if I said this word in front of Professor Snape?" Draco asked in disbelief.

Lycos was silent for a moment.

"Maybe I'll die miserably." He said word by word.

……

In the faint sunlight, several figures flew back and forth in the sky, casting several dark shadows on the green lawn.

The Slytherin Quidditch team's training started as usual.

Draco was naturally among them.

His usual self-boasting was not completely out of touch with reality; he did fly quite well.

However, Lycos didn't know whether this spoiled little wizard took his words to heart...

When reading the original novel, Lecos disliked the character of Draco Malfoy because he was a selfish, arrogant and disrespectful villain.

He is not a good person, but he is not completely bad either... The wrong things he has done cannot be washed away, and he has not really committed any unforgivable mistakes.

However, it was not until Lycos personally came to this dangerous yet uniquely charming magical world and became Draco's roommate that he gained a new understanding of this character who once only existed in literature and movies.

This is just an ordinary person who has been spoiled, like most people in the world.

That's what Lycos thought.

Draco is a young master who knows nothing about the sufferings of the world, and his family background gives him something to be proud of.

So he longs to be admired and noticed, and has a strong vanity; so he is jealous of Harry Potter, who has been known as the "savior" since he was a child and gets attention wherever he goes.

Therefore, Draco extended a hand to Harry like "alms" in front of everyone, hoping to gain his friendship; however, Harry refused, which made Draco angry and embarrassed.

This became the main reason for the two people to confront each other on campus.

This hatred is so hasty, so childish and ridiculous.

After becoming Draco's roommate, Lycos witnessed his vanity in order to show off, and his cowardice after seeing the Killing Curse. At the same time, he also discovered the loyal side of his character that wanted to stand up for his friends.

Unconsciously, Lecos had admitted that he had such a friend, who was also the first friend he made at Hogwarts.

Although this friend is a bastard who is not completely bad, he can still be saved and there is room for improvement.

Otherwise, there would be no need for Lycos to go to so much trouble to tell him that it was wrong to use insulting words like "Mudblood" and that it was stupid to look down on Muggle-borns...

Lycos looked at the Quidditch players in the sky again, shook his head slightly, and turned to leave the field.

He had been in the Room of Requirement all night and was feeling a little sleepy.

……

Starting from the second period, the Defense Against the Dark Arts class adopted a new teaching method.

Or it cannot be said that it started from the second class... It should be said that ever since Gilderoy Lockhart messed up his first two Defense Against the Dark Arts classes, he didn't dare to do those practical teaching classes anymore.

On the first class of the second week of school, Lockhart walked into the classroom holding a thick stack of his glittering works, still wearing the same smile that won the Most Charming Smile Award.

"Good morning, my dear classmates!" Lockhart twirled his right hand in the air in a fancy way and bowed gracefully to his classmates. "I've missed you so much."

The little witches in the audience immediately let out excited screams. Daphne's face turned red, and she seemed to be about to faint.

"Oh, Lekos, you're here!" Lockhart immediately spotted Lekos in the audience and winked at him. "Is my complete set of autographed books okay?"

"It's very useful, Professor," Lycos said. "But some students love you so much that they strongly requested to exchange the textbook with your signature from me... In order not to upset your fans, I reluctantly gave the book to them..."

Now he had a set of ordinary edition books sent by Flourish and Blotts. He couldn't hide the fact that he had lost the complete set of signed books, so he had to find a reason in advance.

Draco, who was next to Lycos, widened his eyes.

Damn it, was that a painful exchange of the book for her? That was a painful profit of a large sum of gold Galleons!

"Very good. Thank you for taking care of my fans for me." Lockhart looked very happy, not realizing that his autographed books had been sold. "I can sign your set of books again."

As he spoke, he raised his eyes and looked at everyone in the class:

"As my dear students, if any of you need anything in the future, you can come to me for an autograph!"

The whole audience burst into wild cheers.

Lycos leaned on the table with his forehead in his hand. He was very disgusted with the noise and clamor in the room, so he secretly put on earplugs to block out the noise.

Now, no matter how much he screamed or how loud he was, he couldn't break through the defenses around Lycos' ears...

A long time later, when Lycos woke up from his drowsiness, he found that the whole class was looking at him, which made him a little dazed.

"What's wrong?" Lycos asked.

It was only then that he noticed that the ear-blocking spell he had just cast was still in effect, blocking out all sounds from the surrounding area.

Lycos quickly removed the earplug spell. The moment it was removed, the surrounding sounds, more or less, big or small, far or near, filled his ears.

Lockhart's voice was also included: "Lex, since you like this book so much, why don't you act out the scene with me?"

Lycos looked down and found that on the top of the table was Lockhart's "Sailing with Vampires".

"I……"

Before Lecos could refuse, Lockhart reached out and pulled him up from his seat and directly to the podium.

"Now, please welcome Gilderoy Lockhart, Third Class Order of Merlin, Honorary Member of the Dark Arts Defense League, and five-time winner of Witch Weekly's Most Charming Smile Award; and our classmate Lecus Hayden, to perform 'Sailing with Vampires'!"

It was obvious that Lockhart focused all the attention on himself in the introduction, and Lycos's introduction was barely mentioned briefly.
