Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures

37. Chapter 37 Duel Club

    Hermione got the "Most Potente Potions" the next morning, and Ivan mailed out the required list of materials at noon.

    In the evening, they gathered in the girls' bathroom in the third floor. No crying Myrtle was quiet in the bathroom, Ivan looked around and saw a small snake on the side of a copper faucet facing the cubicle.

    "The faucet is broken and there is never water."

    Hermione turned the thick "Most Potente Potions" onto the Polyjuice Potion page and checked the recipes that had just arrived.

    "This is the most complicated medicine I have ever seen."She murmured, pointing her finger at the ingredient list, "grass locust, grasshopper, liquid grass and two-eared grass, as well as the angle of the double-horned animal that was ground into powder and the snake skin of an African tree snake." Fragment."

    "Good heavens, Ivan, how much did you spend to get these things, these materials are not cheap!"

    "Three hundred gold galleons, this is all the money the newspaper has earned recently."Ivan shrugged. "I originally planned to use the money to buy a Christmas present for every member of the newspaper. I thought about it, but now I have changed it all."

    "You said these things are worth three hundred gold galleons?!"Ron swallowed his throat.

    “Correct.”Ivan also has a dim sum.

    “Well, we already have all the necessary materials to make Polyjuice Potion. In addition to these, I want to change something in that person. ”

    "I'm afraid!"Ron said sharply, "What do you mean by this, what is the little thing on the person we want to change?" If Crabbe's toenails are inside, I will never drink! ”

    Hermione didn't seem to hear him, and continued, "We don't have to worry about this now, and that thing is finally put in."

    Ron turned to Harry silently, and Harry's face was not too good.

    “The question now is, how long does it take to refining these agents?”Ivan asked.

    "Well, it takes up to twenty days at the earliest. This is the minimum refining time for grasshoppers."

    "Twenty days?!"Ron said, "It was Christmas at the time. I dare say that Malfoy will take the time to knock down half of the muggle in the school."

    "So what good idea do you have?"Hermione slammed the book and squinted at Ron.

    "I think the house elf that has been looking for Harry's troubles has a good idea. Look for a chance to get a Malfoy meal and let him go home straight to the end of the semester."Seeing Hermione looking at herself angrily, Ron's voice is getting smaller and smaller.

    "This can't be done, we can't be sure that Malfoy is doing it."Ivan shook his head. "Moreover, the material has been bought back. We have no retreat now."

    "You are right, Ivan!"

    Seeing that Hermione was going to get angry, Ron hurriedly agreed. "It's a shame to waste the Gold Galleon, but don't use your toenails, okay?"

    Several people have revisited it again. After determining where there are no omissions, they started the preparatory work for the materials according to the recipe.

    As time passed, the atmosphere in the school remained dignified.

    Ivan was left behind by Lockhart after a section of the Dark Defence class.

    He had just been asked by Lockhart to play a Nasalite snowman in the Himalayas. This is Lockhart's recent new teaching activity, where students are asked to perform some of the dramatic pieces in the book they wrote.

    "Ivan, your performance was great. The Himalaya snowman was so scared away at the time, I saved a whole village."

    "I am very happy to help you, Professor."

    Ivan asked indefinitely. "What else do you have? The next section is Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration. I better not be late."

    "Is such that."Lockhart reveals his signature smile. "In view of the current tension in the school, I hope to open a duel club."

    "Duel club?!"

    “Yes, you know that I have more experience in dealing with evil things than other professors in the school.”Lockhart rants, "I don't boast, but I don't mind passing on these experiences to help you improve your combat effectiveness."

    “Very good idea, what do you need me to do?”

    "I will post this news on the bulletin board. You just want to advertise it in the newspaper, it's as simple as that."

    Lockhart wants to put this news on the front page of the front page, but don't publish his name. He said it is to keep mystery and give everyone a surprise. Ivan was a bitter, and it was really shocking.

    What can Lockhart teach you, how can you change your bones? !

    However, after thinking that there was really nothing to advertise in the near future, he readily agreed to the other party's request. Perhaps this is an opportunity to use the influence of the duel club to save the newspaper's lower and lower sales.

    Not surprisingly, the news that the school will host a duel club has attracted the interest of young wizards.

    In the latest issue of the newspaper, Ivan placed a big question mark, listing the candidates who might be the teachers of the duel club, their strength evaluation and past record. After a lot of publicity in advance, this issue of "Hogwarts Magic" sales returned to the peak level before the second attack.

    Under the guidance of Ivan, most people think that the teacher of the duel club will be Professor Dumbledore.

    This is simply amazing, knowing that since the fall of Voldemort, Professor Dumbledore has not used magic in public for many years.

    Needless to say, the exciting young wizards, many adult wizards who ordered "Hogwarts Magic" and the parents of the students hope to come to the school and have the opportunity to learn a trick and a half from the greatest white wizard of the moment. It is exciting enough.

    After learning the news, the editor of "Daily Prophet", Gu Fei, immediately wrote a letter and expressed his willingness to send someone to interview the duel club.

    However, it was rejected by the school, which made all students more curious. Most people think that Professor Dumbledore is very likely to be shot.

    Due to Ivan's propaganda and guidance, the duel club, which was originally intended to be carried out in a small area of ​​underground classrooms, had to be placed in the auditorium because of the large number of applicants.

    At 8pm on Wednesday, after returning to the common room for a short break after dinner, the students hurried back to the auditorium. The long dinner table disappeared, and a gold-plated stage appeared along a wall, shining hundreds of candles floating above.

    Once again, the ceiling became dark like velvet, and all the students from the school came.

    Ivan, who is familiar with the truth, was dragged from the library by Colin and Ginny. In their words, Ivan was hoped to guide them on the defensive charm. All new first years know that Ivan's curse is the highest among his peers. superior.

    Everyone is crowded, everyone is holding their own wand, full of excitement.

    "When is the headmaster coming, what do you say he will teach us?"

    "Don't be silly, Ron!"

    Hermione had to raise the volume and loudly because of the surrounding crowds. "It is impossible to be Professor Dumbledore. He has not played for many years. Besides, if it is him, there is no need to make it so mysterious. He is the biggest gimmick in itself. ”

    "Not Dumbledore, who is it?"

    “Someone told me that Flitwick was a duel champion when he was young, maybe he came to teach us.”Hermione said uncertainly.

    “Ivan must know that the article was written by him?”

    Harry and Ron hurriedly turned to look at Ivan, and nearby Colin, Ginny, and Neville looked at him with anticipation.

    "Don't look at me like this, I thought you saw it when you saw this kind of propaganda."

    "Wait a minute, what you said would not be…"

    Harry's words were not finished, turned into a sly, I saw that Gilderoy Lockhart went to the stage, wearing a fuchsia robe, radiant.

    "Yes, it is him!"Ivan was unable to hold his forehead. "And, Professor Lockhart seems to have brought a special guest tonight."

    The lively atmosphere in the auditorium suddenly stagnate, and the original arguments disappeared completely. Everyone saw that they were not at the side of Lockhart.

    It was a gloomy Snape, wearing his usual black clothes.
