Chapter 250 Someone Comes Up Bravely

Chapter 250 Someone Comes Up Bravely

Not only Luke had a faint smile on his face, even Professor McGonagall couldn't help laughing, and Dumbledore even shook his head and sighed.

Lockhart also had an unnatural smile on his face.He glanced at Snape with a bit of malice.But Snape wasn't afraid at all, on the contrary, he smiled coldly with a bit of malice.

Then Lockhart shut his mouth a little embarrassingly.

"Dumbledore, this matter is really dangerous, do we need to dismiss the students?"

Professor McGonagall asked with some concern.

Dumbledore also fell silent for a while. To be honest, the danger of the basilisk is obvious to all.Putting aside the tragic situation of Mrs. Norris, the legend about the basilisk in my impression alone is enough to scare people.

While Lady Norris isn't dead, it's just been petrified.But everyone knew that this was just the basilisk's mistake, or Mrs. Norris' good luck.No one can guarantee that the next student will be Mrs. Norris, who will survive the injury.

When the professors were frowning and thinking, Filch, who had been speechless for a long time, suddenly howled.

He hugged the stiff Mrs. Norris, overwhelmed with grief.

Dumbledore, who was already a little worried, glanced helplessly at Filch, who had a terrifying expression, rubbed his temples and said, "Argus, don't worry, Professor Sprout nurtured you." the best mandrakes. When they are ripe, we can bring Mrs. Norris back."

Hearing Dumbledore's somewhat impatient voice, Filch could only restrain his crying embarrassingly.

Du that did not leave the team sighed, and then said to Professor McGonagall: "If there is no Luke, I think I should disperse the students..."

"Luke, what can you do?"

Dumbledore asked questions suddenly, but Luke was not surprised at all. After all, Dumbledore was not stupid, so how could this kind of thing have nothing to do with him?

"There is a way, Professor."

Luke said frankly: "But I need some time. If there is no accident now, the door of the secret room has been opened. The basilisk can restrain its desire to kill, and there is a high probability that someone is manipulating it behind it. I need time to find out Here comes this man."

"Oh! Mr. Gaunt can talk nonsense."

Snape sneered and said, "Is there any difference between saying that and the best way to buy something you can't afford is to earn money? Correct nonsense."

Professor McGonagall wanted to defend Luke, but couldn't find any reason to refute Snape.Even as the dean, his means are not inferior to that of Professor Snape.But the bottom line in Professor McGonagall's heart is always relatively high.

Nor would she force Luke to stand up for him without reason.

Of course, logically speaking, this is not a big deal.

"There is a difference. Professor. People who can already earn money can't afford something, and they often can't afford it. But I need time, just need time."

Luke said with a faint smile: "It's difficult to solve the problem of whether you have money. But I can really solve this matter."

...Professor Snape was so pissed off by Luke that he didn't want to talk, or in other words, he didn't really want to argue with Luke.So he turned his head and said to Dumbledore, "Professor, restrain the students as much as possible. Dismissing the students directly will make the students and their parents panic."

"It's not a small damage to the reputation of Hogwarts. We also have to restrain ourselves. After all, although the matter in front of us is important, the overall reputation of Hogwarts is not something unimportant."

Snape's tone was quite calm when he said this.Evidently calmed down from the shock of the basilisk.

Now that Luke has made a promise, it must be able to solve this problem.Same with Professor McGonagall.He also trusted Luke a lot.It's just that he never professed his trust in Luke.

Dumbledore glanced at Luke and nodded.

"Ha! No problem! As long as Mr. Gunter assists me, we will be able to easily deal with a basilisk!"

Lockhart laughed triumphantly again, as if Dumbledore had entrusted him with this daunting task.And it's the same as he and Luke can kill indiscriminately.

Well, the latter is fine.

Everyone present, except Filch, sighed in unison.

"Don't bother the professor. I can do this myself."

Luke did not tactfully reject Lockhart's tactful request for 'help'.

But this time, Lockhart's complexion completely darkened.

But Luke didn't care at all, he said helplessly: "Professor Dumbledore, please protect the safety of your classmates during this time. I'm not sure if the other party will jump the wall in a hurry after pushing the other party into a hurry .”

He certainly wasn't worried about his own safety.But for those students who have no power to restrain a chicken, they really can't believe it.

Again, in the original book, either Colin or Hermione.Their luck is not bad.But it doesn't mean that after this incident, they will still have such good luck.

After all, his appearance has already made things quite different from the original work.

------

Harry and Ron walked out of Lockhart's office in a daze.

Luke didn't follow either of them, he obviously had something else to talk to Dumbledore about.The other professors also left the office.

Including Lockhart, the owner of the office.

"By the way, Ron, what the hell is a basilisk?"

Harry couldn't help but ask Ron softly, curiously.

Ron looked at the professors who looked like two door gods beside him, and said helplessly, "It's a dangerous magical animal. Any creature that looks at him will be killed directly by his eyes."

Harry was shocked. He had always thought that magical animals in the wizarding world were magical.But I never thought that there would be such a dangerous magical animal.

"Why do I feel it is more dangerous than Voldebat?"

Among the magical animals with dark powers, Harry is probably most familiar with the Voldebat.After all, that strange magical animal almost killed them at that time.

….It was also lucky that Luke saved their lives that time.And now, when facing such a magical animal, Luke stood up again, which made them feel a little bit embarrassed.

"This thing is more dangerous than Voldebat."

Ron said frankly: "If it was a basilisk that was put into the auditorium at that time, even Luke would not be able to protect us."

"Heh, you guys think too highly of Luke."

Snape joined their conversation abruptly, and said with a sneer, "Don't say it's Luke. If it was a basilisk that invaded at that time, even Dumbledore would have a hard time saving you."

Harry and Ron naturally didn't want to believe what Snape said.So they all looked at Professor McGonagall on the other side.

Professor McGonagall did not speak, but frowned, with a worried look on his brows.

Lockhart, who was at the end, glanced angrily at the office behind him.

Yes, that's right.The principal is indeed, in a sense, the biggest official of the school.But that doesn't mean you can do this to me!

And that Luke Gunter... really shameless.I have given you so many chances to enjoy my glory and become famous with me, but you don't even know how to cherish it.Wait!I will definitely... wait until you fail the mission and laugh at you fiercely.

Luke has nothing to do with him, so what kind of harsh words can he say to Luke?

But such annoyances never troubled Mr. Lockhart for long.

He took a big step, one step beyond Filch who was in front of him.Then he walked to Harry's side and put his arm around Harry's shoulder: "Ha! Mr. Potter! You have to know that the danger of the basilisk is still very high. If a student can solve such a problem. Then Naturally, it will become famous in the entire wizarding world overnight."

"Of course, such a terrifying monster cannot be dealt with by a young wizard. But if he has a powerful wizard by his side, it will be completely different..."

Regardless of Harry's neck stretching out as much as possible, Lockhart said with a smile: "Harry, you have to know that if Mr. Gaunt is the only one who focuses on the front, then he will be the only one who gets the headlines. Of course, I don't think Mr. Gunter could have successfully settled the matter without my help. So..."

"We have to help Mr. Gunter. As long as you and I can work together, we will be able to solve this matter before Mr. Gunter."

Harry had no intention of agreeing at all, he could only feel the strong smell of Lockhart's perfume against his nose now.

But Lockhart's hand strength was something he hadn't expected at all.He couldn't break free.

But fortunately, someone still rescued him.

"enough!"

Professor McGonagall roared like an angry lioness.Her roar startled everyone on one side.Even Snape looked at Professor McGonagall in surprise, deeply surprised by her current state.

…Professor McGonagall looked at Lockhart with a disgusted expression.And Harry reacted relatively quickly, and quickly escaped from Lockhart's hands who seemed to be captured by Professor McGonagall.

"Luke suddenly has to deal with such a dangerous matter because of the inexplicable guy. As a professor, you don't think about how you can help Luke, but you always think about adding trouble to Luke."

"I didn't!" Lockhart struggled a little bit, "I have a way to deal with the Basilisk, it's Luke Gaunt who doesn't trust a great wizard!"

"I don't trust you either!"

When the other party's voice just fell, Professor McGonagall directly turned back.

These words made Lockhart's face pale at first, but it turned red after a while.

"What are you talking about?! You don't trust my strength?!"

Looking at Lockhart's stern look, Professor McGonagall let out a long sigh of relief.But there was no intention of letting Lockhart go.

"Then let me try you." Professor McGonagall looked at Lockhart and said every word, "Let's have a wizard duel. Of course, it doesn't have to involve life or death."

When he heard the term 'wizard duel', it really made Lockhart's legs tremble.And when he heard the following 'doesn't involve life or death', his expression became a little calmer again.

But only some.

but……

"No problem!" Lockhart shouted loudly, his eyes met Professor McGonagall proudly, and then he said seriously, "Of course I am willing to accept Professor McGonagall's challenge. At the same time... how about we set a time , just can use the absolute between us to give students a vivid practical lesson!"

"I'll let them see the dazzling performance of the master of defense against the dark arts in a wizard duel!"

Obviously, Lockhart would not let go of this opportunity he thought he could make a big splash.Not only did he agree.And he also planned to bring this matter to the fore, so that all the students would come and watch.

At the same time, he secretly calculated in his heart.

"This is an official wizard duel. Maybe I can invite all the reporters to help me spread the word!"

Professor McGonagall is also a well-known figure in the wizarding world. This time, as long as he has a chance to defeat Professor McGonagall, he can easily raise his reputation to a higher level.

There is such a good thing.

Looking at Lockhart with a happy expression on his face, Snape couldn't help frowning.

This person...does he really not know his own strength?

He couldn't help asking in his heart.

It's just a pity that no one can give him the answer.

Seeing Lockhart's appearance, Professor McGonagall readily nodded in agreement.

"Okay, that's it. Professor Lockhart will arrange the time and place. I believe you will do your best."

"Ha! Of course!"

So the two finalized a formal non-life-threatening wizard duel.

Afterwards, the two parties separated, and Snape, who was following Professor McGonagall, thought for a moment before asking, "Why are you serious with this idiot?"

Professor McGonagall shook his head: "No way, if Lockhart is left alone, he will definitely find a way to make things difficult and make Luke's already difficult things even more difficult. Although I can't help him catch this person. But It can still be done by helping him save a little trouble.”

There is Lockhart's appearance of being able to go to the same destination but going in opposite directions, and there are him and Luke who want to be in the same place, but they don't have the same energy and can only hinder each other.

So it's better to find an excuse to keep Lockhart out of bed for a while.So it can save Luke less trouble.

Anyway, during this period of time, classes cannot be attended, and the students have to conduct closed management.

So whether the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts can attend the class is not so important.

"Of course, I didn't expect...he would agree." Professor McGonagall said with a strange face, "I think he would refuse...has he always been so brave?"
