On this day, Noah stood by the lake.
Because of the attack on the little wizard, the Blackwater Lake became a lot deserted, and the original dating resort suddenly became a forbidden place for many little wizards.
Just like now, Noah is the only one standing by the lake.
This semester, his friends are all obsessed with Quidditch training, which makes him a lot cleaner and makes it easier for him to investigate alone.
No one is more familiar with this black water lake than Slytherin. After all, the Slytherin lounge can see the scene under the lake. Sometimes the Slytherins will happily swim outside. Feeding water monsters.
During the day, the lake still appears eerie black, and the surface of the lake looks calm, except for the occasional fish or sea monster that comes up to take a breather.
Noah's gaze passed over the lake and stopped at the Forbidden Forest in the distance.
The basilisk has always been active in pipes. It is strange to suddenly appear by the lake. There are pipes in the school that lead directly to the Forbidden Forest. Why go to the lake again?
Noah had come once before when someone was found to have been killed, but the professors drove away the little wizards who were watching and asked all the prefects to take them back to the lounge, without giving Noah a chance to investigate. Later, when Noah came back, the traces here had been severely damaged, and Noah could only judge that the basilisk had probably sneaked into the lake.
This lake is much bigger than it looks, and it's not easy to find. Even if you ask the aboriginal mermaids at the bottom of the lake, it's probably not easy to find.
However, if the Basilisk really went to the Forbidden Forest to look for food, then why did it come to the Great Lake specifically? Could it be that it went hunting in the lake?
While Noah was thinking about it, he heard Keya suddenly say that he wanted to eat chicken.
Noah: "..."
He glanced at the Forbidden Forest: "If you want to hunt, there will be no magic crystals to eat today."
Keya was suddenly caught in a dilemma, and it was extremely difficult to use its little head to weigh which one was better.
Noah: "..." The thoughts of snakes are sometimes really difficult to understand.
At this moment, a familiar figure appeared in the distance, and Noah turned around almost subconsciously and planned to leave.
It seemed that today was not the right day to continue the investigation. It would be better for him to retreat to the lounge.
But before he could quickly return to the castle, a hand reached out to his shoulder. Noah almost subconsciously turned sideways to avoid the hand, and with this effort, he could no longer ignore the person behind him.
"Good morning, Professor Lockhart." Noah said hello with a cold face, then turned around and planned to leave.
Lockhart had the advantage of height and stopped him in shock: "Wait, Noah, how have you considered what I said before?"
He took out a piece of parchment from his pocket: "Look, my club is finished. I plan to have the first party tonight. Any interested little wizards can come over."
As he spoke, he unfolded the parchment and showed it to Noah. He raised the wand with his other hand and said, "There have been monsters in the secret room in the school recently. This club exists for this. I can teach you some practical things." I am very good at fighting. You have read all the books. You should know my achievements and the fighting skills in the book. Even if you only learn a little bit about it, you no longer need to be afraid of that so-called monster. Why? Sample?"
"Oh, I almost forgot, Professor Snape will be my assistant. I heard that you worked as an assistant to Professor Snape, but this time it is different from what you did. Professor Snape generously agreed I said I would help with a small demonstration before class..."
Professor Lockhart spoke very fast, and Noah had no room to interrupt. Although he didn't want to interrupt the topic at all, he was trying to find other things to divert the professor's attention so that he could get away. .
Just as he was thinking about it, Noah saw a familiar figure appear at the gate of the castle. It happened that the man also heard Professor Lockhart's voice and turned to look over.
"Professor Snape!" Okay, the person who can divert Professor Lockhart's attention has appeared.
Although separated
It wasn't close, but Noah still saw the corner of Professor Snape's mouth that turned down at that moment, which made his already gloomy face look even gloomier.
"Professor Lockhart, why are you stopping my student?" Professor Snape came over unhappily.
"Noah is also my student, don't meet Professor Snape, we are all professors of this school." Professor Lockhart stepped forward and tried to put his arm around Professor Snape's shoulders, but Professor Snape was He directly raised his hand to block it and threw it aside.
He didn't care, he just smiled and turned to look at Noah who was about to escape: "Noah, join my club!"
Noah: "..."
Noah cast a look of help at Professor Snape.
But this time Professor Snape ignored Noah's gaze. His gaze fell on Lockhart's face. After looking at it for a while, he sneered and said, "Okay, let's go together."
Noah: "...?"
So Noah could only appear in the auditorium reluctantly in the evening.
Yes, the professor applied for a mobile classroom to the auditorium. I don’t know what the people who approved it thought.
Because the banner is "Duel Club", almost all the little wizards in the school have come here. The long table in the auditorium has been put away, a stage has been raised in front of a wall, and hundreds of candles are suspended under the black velvet ceiling. , setting off the surrounding gilded walls with splendor.
The little wizards all held their wands, looking forward to the teaching that was about to begin.
Indeed, no one will refuse to join the duel club. As Professor Lockhart said, when the secret room is opened and everyone is in danger, no little wizard does not want to master practical combat skills, at least hope that they will not know when they encounter a monster. No resistance.
This expectation changed when they saw the dazzling Professor Lockhart in a purple robe and Professor Snape in a black robe. Some young wizards were looking forward to Professor Lockhart's legendary fighting skills, but some were not. The moment I saw Professor Snape, I had the intention of quitting.
God, were they going to have to endure Professor Snape's poison outside of Potions class? ! Go around them! ! !
Of course, there are also some who are simply not interested in Professor Lockhart, and deeply feel that this professor is just a facade.
"Okay, okay, everyone, come over here and be quiet." Professor Lockhart smiled and gestured for everyone to come around, "Can you hear me? Can everyone hear me? It seems like they can. That's too much. alright."
"Then let's get started."
