The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

Even though Harry and Wood were pretty sure they weren't telling the truth, word spread that Cassandra Warley was in the hospital. The Woley sisters are considered celebrities in Slytherin House because of their noble birth and beauty. Now the younger sister was attacked and her life and death are unknown. The news spread throughout the school. The secret room incident that had already passed suddenly became turbulent again. Everyone in the school is in danger. Cassandra's sister Cassandra even said that anyone who can solve the dark magic diary will gain the friendship of the Woley family. She said that she still keeps the dark magic diary secretly. It is best for a person to step back from the brink and be lenient in confessing, otherwise he will become an enemy of the Woley family.

Since Cassandra was attacked when she was alone, the first-year students now always work together in small groups, for fear of following in the footsteps of Senior Warley.

Fred and George made a small fortune: amulets and apotropaic items suddenly became popular among students. Fred and the others seized on the market demand and launched several hot-selling products. Including but not limited to rotten onions, amethyst. Lizard tail…

Pure-blood young wizards are no exception - Cassandra is a pure-blood, and her attack shocked these pure-blood young wizards: Wasn't it agreed that only "Mudbloods" would be eliminated? how come……?

In line with the principle of not suffering any loss, they also bought amulets one after another. It is naturally impossible for Malfoy to buy an amulet produced by the Weasley family. But every time the Fred brothers released an amulet, Malfoy would receive a very similar-looking amulet the next day.

"This can't go on like this," Tom said to Dumbledore. "The whole school is in panic."

There were six professors standing in the small principal's office: Principal Dumbledore, four deans, and Tom, the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

"I think we should quickly find the source of the panic and bring him to justice and send him to Azkaban." Snape stared at Tom with his empty eyes.

"Do you have any ideas?" Dumbledore looked at Lockhart standing in front of his desk.

"We can hold a dueling club and teach students some dueling techniques."

"Ha!" Snape sneered, looking rather disdainful.

"I am not opposed to teaching students some dueling skills. This knowledge may come in handy one day, but does this have anything to do with the diary incident?" Dumbledore raised his eyes and glanced at Tom.

"Find something for the students to do, let them think that they are working hard, this can dilute the fear in their hearts." Tom forced himself not to look into the eyes of Snape and Dumbledore, "During the opening of the Duel Club, everyone The dean can take the opportunity to check the students’ personal belongings.”

As long as people are free, they will have random thoughts, so it is better to make the little wizard's life more fulfilling, so that they have no time to think about the secret room.

"What if the diary was carried by that child?" Professor Sprout felt that searching personal belongings was a bit excessive, and she noticed the loopholes in this method. She and McGonagall discussed the whereabouts of the dark magic diary, and finally came to the conclusion that it most likely bewitched more than one student, and after the operation failed, it immediately hid in another student who was bewitched by it.

This conjecture made the two professors a little worried.

"We can think of a way to solve this problem, such as finding an excuse to ask the students to change into the duel uniforms we prepared, and then take out the sundries on their bodies." Tom replied casually, and he looked at the four thoughtful people. Professor, "Do you have any opinions? Or do you have a better plan?"

If there is a more suitable plan, several professors really don't have it. Now Hogwarts really needs to hold an event to inspire people. A Duel Club fits the bill.

However, when everyone was about to leave Dumbledore's office after discussing the club and the search, Lockhart took the initiative to stay. He still had something to talk to Dumbledore.

…

Time has entered December in a blink of an eye, and Christmas is gradually approaching. Deans of various colleges have begun to collect lists of students who will stay in school for Christmas this year. Due to the turmoil in the Chamber of Secrets, most of the little wizards chose to go home for Christmas.

Harry was extremely worried about this. He was almost certain that Malfoy was responsible, but he had no evidence. He, Ron, and Neville were as anxious as ants on a hot pot and couldn't think of any solution.

Harry, Ron and Neville walked through the hall and headed to the auditorium together. Ron was a little annoyed along the way, "Maybe we should capture Malfoy and torture him to find out his family's conspiracy."

Neville's expression suddenly changed, and he rarely refuted Ron.

"Look, what seems to have happened over there?" Harry changed the subject, easing the awkwardness in the group. The two of them followed his gaze and saw a group of people gathered around the bulletin board, reading a notice that had just been pinned up. They asked a few questions and found out: the professors were going to open a dueling club! There was the first party tonight, and Professor Snape and Lockhart would appear together to show the little wizards what it means to be a duel between adults. duel.

All three of Harry were interested in this, so at seven o'clock in the evening, they returned to the Great Hall after dinner. At this time, the decoration in the auditorium had changed drastically. The long tables of the four colleges disappeared, and a gilded circular stage appeared in the center of the auditorium. Hundreds of candles floating on the ceiling projected light into the center of the stage, just like an opera house.

Students from all over the school rushed here with excitement, squeezing to the front as much as possible so that they could see the details of the professors' spells.

"Where's Hermione?" A girl directly in front of them tried hard to occupy a position, looked around, and saw that she had become separated from her friends.

"I don't know -" a girl with braids next to her replied. She put her braids on her shoulders, looking very gentle.

"She is reading in the lounge, and she still has a few things to write -" The voice from behind them answered their questions, but it also made the surrounding little wizards look askance: With such a grand event as the Duel Club, how could it be possible? Are you able to study hard?

He is truly a top student!

While they were chatting, there was a slight explosion, and in a cloud of smoke, Professor Lockhart walked onto the stage. Tonight, Lockhart was dazzling in a sky-blue robe. After he made his debut, Snape walked up expressionlessly, wearing the black clothes he usually wore.

Lockhart looked at everyone quietly until the last little wizard closed his mouth.
