A Professor of Magic at Hogwarts Chapter 86: 1 Everything is a curse?

"It's so exciting! I never dreamed of such a plot." Fred and George muttered, they took a detour and hid in the grass, spying on the movement here through the gap.

Dumbledore shook Fudge's hand: "Don't worry, Fudge, you will be fine."

"You promise? Dumbledore?" Half of his face turned dark.

"I promise you, Fudge."

Fudge's expression softened, and he fell asleep.

Dumbledore withdrew his glowing fingers, turned and looked at Kingsley: "We need to send him to the school hospital."

"However, Minister Fudge said..."

"The basilisk's poison needs to be dealt with as soon as possible," said Dumbledore.

The man named Kingsley quickly compromised, "Everything is up to you."

Dumbledore turned to Flitwick and McGonagall and said, "Filius, Minerva, you stay here, maintain order, and get the basilisk away." The two professors nodded.

Hagrid volunteered to pick up Fudge, and strode towards the school hospital with Dumbledore and Kingsley.

Lucius took advantage of the chaos and left, he found his son Draco Malfoy.

"What is the truth about the Chamber of Secrets?" Lucius asked him.

"It was Potter and the others who did it! Dad, Potter is a Parseltongue, and that's why he discovered the secret room!" Draco said with a displeased face.

"Parseltongue!" Lucius was really surprised. He thought that the diary he threw to the Weasley family's youngest daughter was found.

"Have you found out who opened the secret room?" Lucius asked vaguely.

"No, not yet." Draco stammered as he glanced at his father in fear. He didn't reveal that he was briefly possessed by a dark magic item.

"Really?" Lucius didn't notice this little movement, and his expression became unpredictable.

……

Rita Skeeter wanted to follow up to film the tragedy of the Minister of Magic, but she looked at Lockhart at the scene again. After some weighing, she quickly determined the real target.

Colleagues are enemies, we must engage him!

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

Lockhart covered his face at a loss: "Hey, stop! Stop!"

However, Rita Skeeter took more vigorously. Her creative desire is almost full now, but it is a pity that because of scruples, she did not bring the automatic quill and parchment.

She stole a glance at Felix, who watched all this silently.

This reassured Rita Skeeter that it seemed that 'this' didn't care about other people. Next time you have the opportunity to come to Hogwarts, you must be fully prepared.

"My God, Professor McGonagall must be very angry." Hermione, who was hiding behind a huge court column, said, Harry and Ron looked at their Transfiguration professor, her face was about to be contorted out of shape.

The situation has developed to the point where Lockhart rushes over to **** the camera with Skeeter, but it seems that only by physical strength, Lockhart is not her opponent, Skeeter's two-inch long nails are on his face Draw a dozen scars.

"My handsome face!" Lockhart was going crazy.

Professor McGonagall had to step forward to separate the two, her lips were trembling with anger, "Professor Lockhart, please get out of here immediately! As for you..." She looked at Rita Skye in disgust special.

"Oh, you don't have to worry about me, Professor McGonagall." Rita Skeeter said cheekily, "I just wandered around. I haven't been back to school for many years. I really miss it."

"It's up to you." McGonagall temporarily ignored her, and she cooperated with Professor Flitwick to drag the basilisk away.

Felix looked around. Lockhart looked like an angry bull, and he didn't want to get involved. He turned and walked towards the direction of the school hospital.

After a while, Lockhart calmed down completely. He suddenly realized that he was facing an unprecedented crisis. He tidied his messy hair and said to Rita Skeeter: "Skeeter, we Need to talk, one-on-one."

The woman glanced at him proudly. She took the biggest achievement this time - the magic camera, and handed it to her two assistants, "Look at it, stay away from it."

The two assistants left, and at this moment, only Lockhart and Skeeter were left in this open space.

In the dark, the twins and the trio took sides, holding their breath.

Rita Skeeter cast a disdainful glance at Lockhart, she grinned in a victorious manner: "What do you want to talk to me about? I think there's no need for that—"

"A famous best-selling author!"

Lockhart's handsome face became contorted, but he looked around and said in a low voice, "There's no need for us to get into this situation, I can give you Galleons as compensation, as long as you only care about this matter." No words."

Rita Skeeter glanced at him.

"Two thousand Galleons!" Lockhart said bitterly.

No response.

"Four thousand!"

"Ten thousand Galleons! You greedy woman!"

Rita Skeeter showed a stiff smile, but she still didn't let go, she leaned closer and said: "Lockhart, you can go back and think about it first, and want to understand a question, what is the reputation of a great writer? How much is it worth?"

"—and," she played with her nails, "think about how to clear the charge of attacking the Minister of Magic."

"It was just an accident!" Lockhart gritted his teeth and looked at her, but the woman had left satisfied.

Holding the wand in his hand, he wanted to do something several times, but finally gave up. He returned to his office dejectedly.

The lively courtyard became calm again.

The twins looked at each other and left quietly in tacit understanding. Behind a pillar, the three of Harry looked at each other.

"Dirty money transaction!" Hermione was filled with righteous indignation ~IndoMTL.com~ Ron shrugged: "This is normal. When my father went to check Malfoy Manor, he had already got the news in advance. Do you think Because of what?"

Looking at the direction in which Lockhart left, Harry couldn't help but ask, "Do you think Lockhart will be imprisoned?"

Ron said without hesitation: "I can't tell, but if I were Fudge, I mean, as the Minister of Magic, I can't afford to lose that man."

"Don't you think it's a coincidence?"

"What?"

"Everything that happened today was an accident, wasn't it? Knowing that the basilisk has been dealt with, he could have spent a whole year safe and sound, and then wrote "My Year at Hogwarts" This type of book earns a lot of Galleons."

"You mean, the Dark Lord's curse?" Ron reacted.

Hermione blinked, and she said with great interest: "Quite an interesting idea, Harry, maybe the true face of the curse is to magnify the probability of various accidents. We can look it up."

Ron grimaced, "Hermione, don't you think you've been too busy recently? I'll help you do the math, attend classes, do homework, rune instruction on weekends, correct test papers, learn special transfiguration, and now you Also study the curse..."

Hermione snorted, and she asked back: "Don't you think that solving each puzzle is a very fulfilling thing?"

……

On the other side, Rita Skeeter, who was originally looking at the scenery slowly, suddenly turned back the same way after turning around the courtyard.

Her eyes searched constantly, Lockhart's speed was too fast, she had lost his shadow. But she soon discovered a turning point——

"Hey, you three! Little wizards, stop."
