Money in the heavens

The next day, Harry was unable to participate in Quidditch training due to a broken arm, and Slytherin took this opportunity to win a victory.

However, in the following days, a rumor began to spread in Hogwarts:

"Hogwarts has the Chamber of Secrets left by Slytherin. Once the Chamber of Secrets is opened, Slytherin's inheritance will be obtained, and the descendants of Slytherin will also follow one of his members to clean up the Muggles in Hogwarts. The wizard."

At first, everyone just listened to such rumors as stories and didn't pay much attention to them.

However, Lockhart always talks about the Chamber of Secrets seriously and promises that he will always unlock the secrets of the Chamber of Secrets.

After Malfoy learned about the Chamber of Secrets, he always stared at Harry slyly, as if he was the heir of Slytherin who opened the Chamber of Secrets.

When students finally asked professors in class, the professors were always vague and unwilling to discuss these matters.

However, the kids at Hogwarts always manage to find out the secrets hidden within the castle.

Since you can't ask the questions from the professors' mouths, then ask the ghosts in the castle. There will always be ghosts who can answer their questions.

As a result, it finally spread that Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets had been opened decades ago, and a girl had even died as a result.

Lockhart, who always wanted to show off, suggested that in order to improve the combat abilities of the young wizards, he decided to open a duel club to improve everyone's actual combat abilities.

This is good news for the energetic little wizards, and for the members of the Tarot Club, it is also a stage to show their strength.

It has to be said that Teacher Hermione's teaching ability is still very powerful. The members of the Tarot Club have not only made great progress in their magic knowledge and spells, but they have also not fallen behind in practical combat and have made great progress.

When the Duel Club starts, I will be shocked again.

Sure enough, at eight o'clock in the evening on December 18, Lockhart stood on a high platform like a peacock, wearing a bright wizard robe.

There was a group of little wizards in the audience.

There was not only Lockhart on the stage, but also a gloomy-looking Professor Snape.

However, Snape didn't seem to like Lockhart very much, and he ignored Lockhart despite his long speech, but Lockhart had the kind of attitude that even if you ignore me, I won't be embarrassed and can still talk endlessly. talent.

As long as I'm not embarrassed, someone else will be embarrassed.

Finally, after half an hour of tirade, Lockhart was finally ready to show everyone a duel. He would fight Snape on the stage.

Unfortunately, history is always surprisingly similar. Just like in the original book, Lockhart was trying to pose, and Snape knocked the wand out of Lockhart's hand with a casual "Expelliarmus".

He himself even flew back a certain distance and lay on the duel platform in a state of embarrassment.

However, Lockhart responded quickly, holding back the discomfort and smiling and said:

"Look, I am just demonstrating to everyone what will happen if you are accidentally hit by your opponent's disarming spell. So in the future, you must be careful about your opponent's disarming spell in duels."

Lockhart's acting skills are worthy of recognition. At least many of the little wizards present believed him.

William couldn't help but lament in his heart, do the young wizards really trust Lockhart? No, but the little wizards trust Hogwarts and Dumbledore.

They believed that Dumbledore would not let an incompetent person become a professor at Hogwarts, and they believed that the best wizarding school in the UK would not let a liar teach.

Unfortunately, this Lockhart is really a liar.

Although everything Dumbledore did was for the overall situation, to cultivate a savior and destroy Voldemort.

However, this approach is unfair to the students of the school.

However, William looked at the stage thoughtfully.

Even if all this is Dumbledore's plan, do the directors of Hogwarts really not know Gilderoy Lockhart's true identity? Can they tolerate such people becoming school professors?

Or is it that the directors or pure-blood nobles are behind this?

Let’s see, the Defense Against the Dark Arts class has never had a professor who can teach for a long time. Is it really because of the terrible curse of the mysterious man?

Or rather, such a curse was not only imposed by the mysterious person, but also by the pure-blood nobles.

The lack of Defense Against the Dark Arts classes makes the students who leave Hogwarts deficient in many things in the magical world. It is difficult to deal with dark wizards and evil magical creatures.

However, these people are all civilian wizards with no background, while those pure-blood nobles have family inheritance. Even if they did not learn real skills in school, they will have real skills after graduation and return home to accept the family inheritance. Are you ready?

Therefore, William guessed that maybe Voldemort's curse did exist, but it shouldn't be that powerful.

However, the pure-blood nobles took advantage of this and used various methods to prevent the professors of Defense Against Dark Arts from teaching for a long time.

In this way, the fault of the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher will make it difficult for civilian wizards to get ahead, thus preventing the birth of the next Voldemort.

It is impossible for those pure-blood nobles not to know that Voldemort's true identity is Tom Riddle, and it is impossible for them not to know that he is a half-blood. It's just that at that time they needed a strong man who put bloodline first to help them maintain their status.

Similarly, they may not be unaware that Voldemort made Horcruxes. From all the signs, at least Lucius Malfoy knew about the Horcruxes and knew that the diary was Voldemort's Horcrux.

Otherwise, how could he dare to send the diary to Hogwarts like this.

He knew that Tom, who entered Hogwarts, would definitely choose to open the Chamber of Secrets, and then he would be able to take this opportunity to drive Dumbledore out of Hogwarts.

Even if he failed, he could destroy Voldemort's Horcrux with Dumbledore's hands, so that he would not become a disaster at home.

In fact, William didn't know that this was because Lucius found that the soul in the Horcrux had signs of awakening, and even prepared to use Draco Malfoy's vitality to revive.

Such an approach naturally touched Lucius's reverse scale, so he pretended to send the diary to Hogwarts for the purpose of designing Weasley.

At that time, Tom's resurrection would not endanger Draco's life; Tom's failure was also eliminated by Dumbledore, which had nothing to do with him. At most, he made a mistake, and his crime was not punishable by death!

From this, it can be seen that these pure-blood nobles are not simple goods.

Including the final release of Dobby's freedom, maybe he really didn't pay attention at the time, but he also meant to go with the flow.

In this way, all things can even be pushed to a rebellious house elf. Anyway, Dobby already has the idea of ​​betrayal, and staying with him is also a hidden danger. It is better to make use of the waste, so that it can be explained when Voldemort returns in the future.

Of course, these are no longer within William's consideration. At this time, William and Hermione are watching the duel between Harry and Draco Malfoy.

Speaking of which, Harry's duel was strongly recommended by Lockhart, who wanted to be famous, and wanted to convey to everyone that he was the teacher of the child of destiny and the savior Harry Potter...
