Harry Potter’s Natural Villain

Chapter 41 The Roaring Letter of the Roaring Rooster

Afterwards, everyone in the corridor was wrangling. Filch arbitrarily accused Harry of being the murderer. Professor McGonagall analyzed the situation in detail. Snape interrogated Harry strangely, and Lockhart began to show off again. With his great achievements, he also wanted to take away the task of configuring potions originally assigned to Snape. In the end, it was Dumbledore who resisted all opinions and insisted on the principle of "suspicious and innocent", and let the three of Harry leave this place.

"Where have you been!" Pansy, who was sitting at the dining table, asked in a low voice when he saw Malfoy, his tone was full of anxiety and worry. "I heard that Filch's cat was petrified, so you shouldn't be afraid..." Pansy said to herself, and then looked at him scrutinizingly as if thinking of something. "Where did you go just now?"

"Are you suspecting me as a murderer?" Malfoy felt a little amused and changed the subject. Of course he could see that the girl was worried about him.

In the end, Pansy's questioning came to nothing. Because Pansy's attention was diverted after Malfoy told a few jokes.

However, the atmosphere in the auditorium was not very good. The festive atmosphere of the original festival was diluted a lot by this petrification. The students stopped talking about Halloween pumpkin ghosts. They kept discussing Mrs. Norris being attacked. , Although most of the students didn't like Filch, when they saw Filch's dejected demeanor, they couldn't help but feel a little sympathy and a sense of self-imposed danger.

"Those who are enemies of the heir, be wary." What does that mean, a Ravenclaw student asked again from their desk.

"This is not the key. What we should be most concerned about now is what petrified it." Another thin boy said.

"Medusa?" Luna raised her hand high.

"Oh, little Luna, that thing doesn't exist like the horned snoring beast you're looking for," said another student.

"I'll find it one day." After speaking, Luna lowered her head again, and seemed to start thinking about how to find her horned snoring beast, and she didn't care about the current affairs.

"Medusa?" Hearing this word, a girl who had been burying her head seemed to tremble, as if thinking of something, then raised her head and said, "She told us in Professor Sprout's class... ."

"Are you saying there might be a basilisk in our school?" It was a gentle female voice, but everyone could feel the vibrato in her tone, and if Malfoy was here, he would know about this black-haired girl Who is it - Qiu Zhang from the East.

As a result, rumors spread throughout the school almost overnight.

All the students know that there may be a basilisk in the school that glares to death.

"Draco!" A few days later, when Malfoy was enjoying his breakfast in front of Slytherin's table, he suddenly saw two shadows appearing in front of him. They shouted at the same time, and Malfoy felt it. Anxiety in their hearts.

"Huh?" Malfoy raised his head and raised his eyebrows, looking at the serious-looking Weasley brothers.

"What are you doing here?" Pansy asked, if it turns out that she hardly ever interacts with Gryffindor students, as a Quidditch player, she obviously has to take care of her opponent, Weasley Brothers Just two of them.

"It's inconvenient to say it here." Both Fred and George changed their usual hippie smiles and used a serious tone.

"I know what you want to ask." Malfoy said with a wave of his hand. "That's just a coincidence. If I can really predict the prophet, in your eyes, I shouldn't just make a little money, right?"

The Weasley brothers looked uncertain. After a moment of silence, George asked first, "Do you still want those things?"

"As you wish." Malfoy drank a cup of honey tea, as if he didn't want to talk to them again.

"We won't take advantage of you.

' Fred dropped those words and went back to the Gryffindor table with George.

"You actually do business with the Weasleys, Uncle Lucius will scold you to death." When George and Fred walked away, Pansy looked at him in surprise.

"You won't tell?" Malfoy looked at her quietly.

"Uh..." Pansy denied the question without any hesitation, but she was curious about the deal between them.

"You should know as soon as this afternoon," Malfoy said.

"That's why I hate your unappetizing behavior the most." Pan Xi looked at him angrily.

In the afternoon, the mystery was revealed.

Lockhart was the first victim, of course, not by the basilisk.

Since the elf catastrophe, Professor Lockhart has never brought living creatures into the classroom. He chooses to read large sections of his books to the students, and sometimes Some dramatic episodes are performed.

So in the afternoon Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Lockhart and Harry were performing "Weekend with the Werewolf", Lockhart playing himself, Harry playing the werewolf, just as Harry's character was about to pounce on and crush Lockhart , and when Lockhart was about to fight back, a dissonant voice suddenly appeared in the classroom.

"Giggle." This sound was like the first domino dropped, and it was like a bomb dropped into deep water, and then the sound of chickens in the classroom was one after another.

"Everyone, keep quiet!" Lockhart was stunned by what he saw in front of him. What a grand occasion when dozens of roaring letters from roosters were opened together. His voice was covered by the roar of roosters, and he couldn't get a single bit out of it. It seemed that even if he heard it, no student would pay attention to him.

Looking at the chaos in the classroom, Neville secretly buried his head. He accidentally activated the roaring letter at the beginning. He didn't expect that he would cause such a big chain reaction.

When the news of a possible basilisk at Hogwarts came out from Ravenclaw, people were panicking, and then they all knew that the crowing of a rooster would kill the basilisk, so some students played the school rooster. Note that even the trio went to find Hagrid, only to be told that all the roosters died unexpectedly. This made them smell more of a conspiracy.

Then some students heard the propaganda: "The Rooster Roar Letter, your best choice for dealing with basilisks, you can get one for two, buy more, get more, buy more than 100 pieces at one time and get even bigger discounts."

Needless to say, this is George and Fred's propaganda, and while I'm still skeptical, it's not the Weasley brothers' character to put money aside.

So almost in the blink of an eye, all the students carried a few roaring letters, and Neville became the first fuse, detonating Lockhart's class, of course, this should also be related to the dissatisfaction of some male classmates , after all, for students who study hard, Lockhart really has no real talent, which is why they dare to follow suit. If it was Professor McGonagall's class, as long as her face was stern, Neville's careless behavior might be like a spark in a gust of wind, and it would not be able to achieve a prairie fire at all.

In short, Lockhart failed in today's class. He looked a little angry, and went to Dumbledore's office to complain, saying that the students collectively flouted the discipline of the class, but they were all blocked by Dumbledore lightly, on the grounds that : It's not a bad thing for students who are affected by rumors to relax in this way.

But the first thing Lockhart did in the next class was to check everyone's pockets and bags. He confiscated all the rooster roar letters, which caused a protest from his classmates, but he kept his elegant smile and said: " You don't have a chance to open those letters when you're facing a basilisk, that's what you need." Then he paced up to all the students and handed them something like a talisman. Then he returned to the podium and said loudly: "This is the anti-petrochemical charm that I have carefully built for you. You only need to put it on your chest, even if you face the basilisk's direct gaze, it will be unscathed!" After blinking at all the students, most of the female students stared at him again with adoring eyes. Compared with the noisy roaring letter, the beautiful amulet in front of them is more in line with their aesthetic concept.

"Cut." Ron pouted under the podium and turned his head in disdain.

Harry stared at the amulet in a daze, and intuitively told him that the Weasley Brothers' roaring letter was more useful.

As for Hermione, she carefully put away the amulet and put it in her bag.
