Hogwarts Shippuden

Chapter 167: darkest hour

"When did Lockhart become so good?"

Seeing that Lockhart had a five-to-five fight with Snape, Cedric was very puzzled.

Kyle pulled him and his twin brother into the corner of the auditorium.

After propping up a soundproof barrier, Kyle told them his speculations.

"You three, now go to Professor McGonagall, Professor Flitwick, and Professor Sprout, respectively, and tell them the speculation."

Kyle stared closely at Lockhart on the dueling stage, "I'll watch him myself."

The other three nodded silently, turned and left the auditorium.

On the duel stage, Lockhart and Snape were evenly matched, and neither could do anything to the other.

After blocking Snape's attack, Lockhart took a step back and raised his hands in a French military salute.

"Professor Snape, I think it's enough to demonstrate here, and then let the students fight in groups."

Instead of letting the students start a duel in a swarm, Lockhart called out four students and formed two teams.

After all, there are only two professors here to guide, and if there are too many people, it will be difficult to deal with the situation when the scene gets out of control.

Harry and Malfoy were selected and placed in a group.

Hermione was also called up, and her opponent was Pansy, who had been repaired at the Quidditch pitch some time ago.

When Lockhart announced the start of the duel, Hermione handed over Pansy's wand almost in a flash, and cast a Bat Essence spell on Pansy who fell to the ground.

If Snape hadn't stopped her at the time, the little **** would have started whipping the corpse.

Something was wrong on Harry and Malfoy's side.

Draco summoned a snake, which he wanted to command to attack Harry, but Harry let out a strange hissing sound.

The snake he summoned went out of control in an instant.

Snape's face changed slightly.

He stepped forward hastily, waved his wand, and the snake disappeared in a plume of black smoke.

Kyle, who was leaning against the wall, also showed a look of surprise. Snape had speculated before that Harry was a Parseltongue.

But he didn't expect Harry's Parseltongue identity to be exposed in public.

Hasn't anyone told Harry that he's a Parseltongue?

...

Due to Harry's inadvertent Parseltongue, the Duel Club's activities had to end in a hurry.

The students who came out of the auditorium were all discussing the great contrast between the current Lockhart and his past, and Harry's Parseltongue.

Kyle doesn't care much about all this, he has more urgent things to do now.

Lockhart, who came out of the auditorium, went straight back to his office.

After the door of the office closed, Kyle's figure silently walked out of the darkness.

Kyle stared at the closed office door and silently took out the double-sided mirror to prepare to cast Hogwarts' strongest summoning magic.

On Lockhart's side, as soon as he returned to his own office, he impatiently opened the lock on the desk drawer and pulled out an old notebook.

He took the quill, dipped it in the ink bottle, and began to write in the empty notebook.

"Although there was a little accident at the dueling club tonight, those little wizards looked at me with admiration again."

The ink shone brightly on the paper for a second, then disappeared without a trace, as if sucked into the paper.

The messy scribbles reappeared on the paper.

"You idiot! I have warned you not to act rashly for the time being. Do you think those two Dumbledore are idiots and can't notice your change?"

Lockhart wrote his answer hastily on a piece of paper, almost knocking over the ink bottle.

"I've been holding back for a long time, help me regain the respect of the students, isn't it the condition you promised me early on to gain fame?"

Another line of letters appeared on the blank page, "I promised, but doing this now will only make Dumbledore suspect you and send you to Azkaban."

Lockhart's face turned pale, and he obviously realized that something was wrong. "Then what should I do?"

"Our plan has to be advanced. This time, follow my orders to act, and don't make assumptions!"

"What are we going to do?"

...

Three minutes later, Kyle and Dumbledore raided Lockhart's office.

Kyle directly blasted the door of the office with a blasting spell.

But when he rushed into the dusty office, he found it was already empty, with only one open window revealing silent mockery.

Kyle's face was a little ugly, "I should have directly teamed up with Professor Snape to kill him in the auditorium just now."

Dumbledore's face was also a little ugly, but half of it was angered by Kyle.

Since his son killed a few short-eyed dark wizards in Knockturn Alley during the summer vacation, Kyle's style of painting has advanced by leaps and bounds in the direction of the third generation of the Dark Lord.

Now Kyle is always saying that he wants to kill this and kill that. He really feels tired when he hears it.

There was a sound of hurried footsteps in the corridor outside, and it was Cedric and the others who came with a few professors.

Finding that Lockhart was not in his office, Professor McGonagall's face was extremely ugly.

This is the closest they get to the murderer!

Professor Flitwick walked to the window, and a cloud of khaki smoke shone from his wand, roughly recreating the scene in the office a few minutes ago.

The smoke condensed into a phantom of Lockhart, who was stomping on the edge of the window.

"Unfortunately, Lockhart escaped."

Dumbledore sighed and was about to let everyone leave, but at this time there was another hasty footsteps outside the corridor.

Snape also came.

"Severus? What happened?" Professor McGonagall noted that Snape's face was extremely gloomy.

"The attack happened again. There is a secret passage to the secret room in the Slytherin common room, and the basilisk came in from there."

Dumbledore was stunned. "How are the students?"

Snape's face was so gloomy that it seemed to drip. "A student died, he was attacked in the dormitory."

The expressions of all the professors present suddenly changed, the office fell into a dead silence, and the atmosphere dropped to freezing point in an instant.

There was icy anger in every wrinkle on Dumbledore's aged face.

"To gather all the students into the auditorium, the common room is no longer safe."

After saying this, Dumbledore sat down on the chair next to him wearily.

The four deans present drooped their eyelids and silently turned around and left the office that originally belonged to Lockhart.

Kyle waved at Cedric and the others, motioning them to leave first, and then quietly accompany the old man.

"This time a pure-blood student died, and the impact is very different from the previous attack, so the Ministry of Magic will definitely take action."

"They'll arrive early tomorrow morning at the latest and take Hagrid away."

"If another pure-blood student dies~www.wuxiamtl.com~Hogwarts is closing..."

Kyle listened quietly, without speaking.

"If I'm not mistaken, Lockhart and Lucius should have been linked together. This is the best time for them to kick me out of Hogwarts."

Dumbledore raised his head and looked at Kyle earnestly with a pair of blue pupils.

"I don't know what Tom's purpose is, but I do know that he will only come to the light if I leave Hogwarts..."

"I'll give you and Minerva some of the Headmaster's authority, so you'll no longer be restricted by Anti-Apparition, and you'll be able to use Hogwarts' own defenses against Tom at the same time."

Looking at the old man in front of him, Kyle was silent.

He knew that Hogwarts Castle was the work of Dumbledore in his life. Dumbledore paid too much for this wizarding school. He couldn't just watch Hogwarts destroyed by Tom Riddle. .

Kyle took the old man's hand, "I will try my best to hold Tom and Lockhart while you are away from Hogwarts."

Dumbledore smiled slightly, "I'm relieved to have you here."
