Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

Early the next morning, the bones on Harry's arm had grown out.Madam Pomfrey came to check once and found that she was pretty good, so she told Harry directly that she could leave.

Naturally, Harry couldn't wait.

He put on his clothes as quickly as he could and hurried to the Gryffindor Tower, wishing to talk to Ron and Hermione about Colin and Dobby, but they were not there.

Harry went out to search again, wondering where they could go?He felt a little wronged, and they didn't even care whether his bones grew better.

But when he searched and came to Myrtle's bathroom, he found that only Hermione was making the medicine here.

"Harry!" she said, "you startled me. Come in quickly-how is your arm?"

"Very good," Harry said, squeezing into the small single room.

There was a cauldron on the toilet, and Harry heard crackling noises from under the toilet, and knew they had made a fire underneath.Using magic to conjure a portable and waterproof fire, this is Hermione's skill.

"Where is Ron? Isn't he here?" Harry asked curiously.

"Yes," Hermione said, "Well, I mean, I haven't seen him since early today."

They were talking, but saw Ron push the door directly in, his face was very ugly.

"What's the matter, Ron? Where did you go?" Harry said in surprise.

Ron was silent for a while, then said: "I'm going to find Maca."

"Go find Maca?" Hermione stood up suddenly.

"Well, I didn't find it..."

Ron said in a low voice, then left, leaving only Harry and Hermione looking at each other.

"Should we go ask what happened?" Harry glanced at Hermione.

"I think it's better not to." Hermione shook her head, not knowing how to answer, just evasive.

For a moment, Harry fell into doubt, but forgot what he wanted to say.But they did not expect that at the most unexpected moment, Maca suddenly appeared in front of them.

...

On Monday morning, the news that Colin Crevey was attacked and now lying in the ward like a dead person spread all over the school.

In an instant, rumors swirled around the school, and everyone was suspicious.

Freshmen in the first grade are now always in groups of small groups to move around together, as if they are afraid that they will be attacked if they act alone.

Ginny was at the same table with Colin Crevy in the curse class, and was very upset at the moment.

In order to make her happy, Fred and George took turns wearing feathers or getting scabies, jumping out from behind the stone statue to tease her. Harry felt that this was obviously a disservice.

Later, Percy became incoherent and told them that he was going to write to their mother, Mrs. Weasley, and told her that Ginny had nightmares at night, and they stopped playing around.

One day after that, Harry was walking through the hall.

They suddenly saw a small group of people gathered around the bulletin board, reading a piece of parchment that had just been nailed on.

Seamus Finnigan and Dean Thomas looked very excited and greeted them to pass.

"They want to start a duel club!" Seamus said."The first meeting tonight. I am not opposed to learning some dueling courses, which might come in handy one day..."

But at eight o'clock that evening, the appearance of Hogwarts Hall changed.

The long dining table disappeared, and a long gilded stage appeared along a wall, illuminated by hundreds of candles floating above, and the ceiling became as dark as velvet again.

Almost all the students from the school came, but fortunately the hall was wide enough, although it still seemed crowded, at least it still had some room to move around.

Each of them held their own magic wand with an excited expression on their faces.

But before long, Guidro Lockhart made his debut in the face of everyone's disappointed expectations.

He was wearing a fuchsia robe, his hair was well combed, and his appearance was good. At first glance, he was indeed very radiant-as long as he didn't move.

But it is obviously impossible for a new professor to remain silent.

Lockhart waved everyone to be quiet, and then shouted: "Come around, come around! Can everyone see me? Can they hear me... Great!"

"Yes, Professor Dumbledore allowed me to start this little duel club to fully train everyone, in case you need to defend yourself one day, and protect yourself in the way I have used countless times-for more details on this, Please see my published work."

He said, waved his hand again and made a "please" gesture.

"Let me introduce my assistant-Professor Snape!" He said toward Snape below the stage. "He told me that he himself knew something about duels, and he generously agreed. , Help me do a small demonstration before class."

"I said, I don't want to worry you little guys—when I finish the demonstration with him, I will return your potions teacher to you intact, don’t be afraid—"

"I said," Snape interrupted suddenly, "I do know a thing or two about duels, but it's not me who is going to accompany you to demonstrate today—"

He took a step to the side, revealed the people behind him, and said with a sneer.

"……It's him."

This time everyone was taken aback, because it was Maca—Maca McLean who stood behind Snape!

"Oh-haha," Lockhart froze for a moment, and then smiled, "I think you must be joking, as a teacher, how can I fight a duel with a student? How dangerous it is—"

"No, I think this is just right." Snape smiled faintly. "In this case, it will make everyone see clearly that the danger of the curse..."

He paused, and simply ran Lockhart clearly: "I think, under the disparity, controlling the danger shouldn't be a big deal to you, a dueling expert, right?

Sure enough, Lockhart immediately jumped into this pit.

"Oh, of course! I think you have a good idea... yes." Lockhart gave a gracious smile, "Come on, Maca."

To say that Maca originally didn't want to come to mix this matter, but don't know why, Snape threw it to himself.He thought about it, and finally agreed.

"Don't worry, kid-don't be afraid, you won't get hurt because of this. I'm very experienced as a duel instructor." Lockhart maintained a charming smile, "Maybe I can write a book about duels, that's for sure. It will be fun."

"Maybe..." Maca said casually while pulling out his wand.

In the audience, many students looked at Maca curiously.

Although many people have heard of something at the end of last semester, the specific situation has been blurred by Dumbledore.In fact, most students are looking forward to this unexpected duel.

At this moment, the eyes of Harry, Ron, and Hermione were all focused on Maca, but their minds were obviously completely different.The one with the least psychological burden is probably Harry.

"Come on, Maca!" Harry exclaimed cheerfully.

His implication, of course, was that he hoped that Maca could teach Lockhart a lesson and let him stop being so annoying.

Lockhart and Maca faced each other at a distance, and bowed to each other.

Lockhart was obviously much more fancy than Maca's mediocre movements.He turned a lot of tricks with both hands, skillfully made a very gentleman appearance, and took the time to make an elegant gesture towards Maccabi.

Then they held their wands to their chests like arrows.

"As you can see, we hold the wand in a normal dueling posture. Maca does a good job in this regard. Obviously he has the knowledge to preview duels," Lockhart said to the silent crowd. Three, we will cast the first spell. Of course, I won't let Maca get hurt."

Suddenly, the attention of all the students in the audience gathered.

"one two Three!"

Maca raised his hand and shook lightly, the tip of the stick quickly outlined the trajectory of the spell in the shaking, the speed was so fast that people were shocked.

"Except for your weapons!"

A slender red glow suddenly appeared from the front of the wand and went straight to Lockhart on the opposite side.Although the lightning-fast red light didn't seem so dazzling, but the solidity of the beam of light made Snape's face flashed with surprise.

Lockhart didn't even have time to react. He was hit by a red light, and suddenly flew back out of the stage, hit the wall violently, then slid down and curled up on the floor.

"If Snape were to do it, it should be almost like this..."

Although I don't know why Snape wanted to throw this thing to him, once Snape raised it, Maca was really hard to shirk.

To put it bluntly, Maca's research on potions still needs Snape's help from time to time.Rarely, when the other party makes a request, it is obviously not in the interest to refuse lightly.In desperation, Maca can only do this.

Even if he knew in his heart, this kind of minimal ridiculous imitation was probably just self-deception.

"In any case, I need time...more time." Maca secretly said, "Now I can't make a reasonable judgment at all. This would be very bad."

Let's not mention Maca, who is expressionless, and Lockhart, who is getting up in embarrassment.Looking at the students watching in the hall, almost everyone was so surprised that they couldn't speak.

After a while of silence, there was a boil.

Maca looked at the situation under the stands, and had already anticipated it.But in any case, this does not meet his immediate needs, even if it is definitely beneficial to his popularity at Hogwarts.

"Professor Lockhart, it's impolite." Maca said softly, and without waiting for Lockhart to say anything, he jumped off the stage.

In the audience, Snape looked at Lockhart's slightly awkward expression, his face was full of sneers.
