Chapter 278 Snape's Halloween Candy

"Me? I'm great!"

Lockhart's anger came and went even faster. He showed a silly smile, patted his forehead and said, "I understand, you are worried about my ability to adapt the story, right?"

Then, without waiting for Professor McGonagall to continue, he patted his chest and said, "You can rest assured on this! No one knows adaptation better than me! All my works are adapted from other wizards!"

Lockhart's words immediately caused an uproar in the entire audience, but he didn't seem to feel ashamed at all. Instead, he held his head proudly, as if he was very proud of this matter.

"Do you know what you're talking about?! Professor Lockhart!"

Professor McGonagall made a serious face and asked sternly.

She had already known the truth from Dumbledore. At this time, she no longer cared about what happened to Lockhart. Seeing that he actually took the initiative to expose the scam, she immediately guided him and asked: "You mean, you book Are all the stories here lies?”

"Actually, it's not a complete lie."

Lockhart shrugged, unaware of the strange looks around him. In other words, he just didn't notice the strange looks in those eyes, and at the same time he was still enjoying the feeling of being the center of attention.

So he was in a happy mood and patiently explained to everyone: "I just replaced the protagonist in the story with myself, and then added some artistic processing."

"But this is deception!"

"Oh, my dear Professor McGonagall," Lockhart frowned, shook his head and sighed: "Use your common sense and think about it. If people don't think that I did those things, the sales of the book will be poor. Far away.

Readers will not want to read about the deeds of an ugly old American wizard who saved a village from the scourge of werewolves. Put his photo on the cover, it wouldn’t be too ugly! He has no taste at all in his clothes.

And the witch who exorcised all the female ghosts had a hairy chin!

I mean, if you think about it, how could so many people enjoy these wonderful and interesting stories if it wasn't for me? "

Lockhart was not ashamed, but spoke proudly, while Professor McGonagall just looked at him quietly, letting him reveal all his secrets.

There was silence in the Great Hall, everyone was stunned by Lockhart's shamelessness.

"So, is this the reason why you charge everything that others do to your own account?"

Professor McGonagall folded her hands and asked with a sneer.

"Minerva, Minerva, this is not as simple as you said. I have a lot of work."

Lockhart shook his head and sighed, and began to count his "hardships" in detail——

"I'm going to track these people down and ask them how they did what they did. Then I'm going to cast a forgetting spell on them, so they will forget all about it."

Having said this, Lockhart puffed out his chest vigorously and said triumphantly: "If there is anything I am proud of, it is my Oblivion Curse."

Even Fish could see that at this moment Lockhart was no longer the pretentious pride he had before. He was truly proud of his level of Oblivion Curse.

"You see, Minerva, I also have to work hard. It's not just book signings and celebrity photos... If you want to be famous, you have to be prepared to work hard for a long time."

Lockhart put on a look like "I've worked so hard, why are you still laughing at me?", which made Professor McGonagall frown. She was so disgusted by Lockhart's shameless statement that she couldn't bear it. Went down.

However, before she could draw out her wand to knock Lockhart down, the other party drew out his own wand first.

"I'm sincerely sorry, Minerva, I have to cast a forgetting spell on you. I can't let you spread my secret everywhere. Otherwise, I won't be able to sell my books..."

Lockhart's thinking is obviously still a little confused now. While he is enjoying the feeling of being in the spotlight, he also thinks that he is just talking to Professor McGonagall.

Professor McGonagall looked at him with a livid face. Of course she was not worried about the other party's wand. Not to mention that there were so many students and professors around, even if there was no one around, Professor McGonagall would not be afraid of Lockhart's threat. She I just purely hate this person.

Professor Flitwick on the other side was trembling with anger. He was ashamed that Ravenclaw House had come up with such a thing. The short stature jumped onto the teacher's desk and also took out his wand.

It's just that there is someone who moves faster than him...

"Meow!"

(╬`Д)＝○#(￣#)3￣)

With an angry roar, Fish turned into a black shadow and rushed from the Gryffindor table to Lockhart's side in the blink of an eye. Before he could react, Fish's little fist struck. It had landed on Lockhart's face.

The familiar pain invaded Lockhart's cheek instantly, waking his mind from confusion. However, before Lockhart could react to what had just happened, the severe pain had taken away all his consciousness. , he just felt that his vision went dark and he didn't know anything anymore.

"Bang!"

With a loud noise, Lockhart once again pressed his entire body against the wall, and then slid to the ground.

"ha--!"

(●`Д●)

After beating Lockhart away, Fish landed lightly on the teacher's desk, with his hands on the table, his back arched high, a pair of cat ears pressed into the shape of an airplane wing, and the hair on his tail exploded, facing Lockhart, who had fainted, made a fierce threatening sound.

Professor McGonagall on the side was stunned for a moment, then stepped forward and lifted Fish off the table with a smile on his face.

"Okay, he's passed out."

Professor McGonagall kissed Fish's little face and happily comforted the angry kitten.

At the same time, the students below also exploded.

"Professor! Is what Lockhart just said true?!"

"That guy is indeed a liar!"

"Oh my god! I thought he was just ignorant, but I didn't expect that he actually stole other people's achievements!"

"Are all the people in the Ministry of Magic idiots?! They actually awarded him the Order of Merlin!"

The students were very excited. They were already very dissatisfied with Professor Lockhart, but now that they knew he was a liar, they immediately started making trouble.

Amidst the commotion, Dumbledore stood up.

"The sound is loud."

He first used a magnifying spell on himself, and then said: "Everyone, be quiet!"

After the students quieted down, Dumbledore continued: "As for Professor Lockhart's question, he was obviously not in the right state just now, so what he said may not be true."

Although he already knew what was going on with Lockhart, Dumbledore still had to put on a show, otherwise he would let the troublesome school directors know that he had recruited him into the school knowing that he was a liar. Even if he was the principal, he would still be a little embarrassed Troublesome.

"The school will find someone to verify the situation as soon as possible. If things are really as he said, then I can only fire Mr. Gilderoy Lockhart."

Dumbledore's promise barely appeased the students.

However, some among the professors did not want to delay it any longer.

"Sorry, Mr. Principal, can you allow me to say a few words?"

Professor Snape stood up and said with a sneer on his lips.

"Of course, Severus."

Dumbledore made a "please" gesture. In fact, after seeing Lockhart's state just now, he already had some guesses in his mind, but what he couldn't figure out was...

How did Snape drug Lockhart?

And why was the drug administered at this time?

"What Mr. Lockhart said just now should be true."

Snape confirmed Lockhart's words as soon as he came up, and then he explained to everyone: "During Halloween, he and Potter came to my place with Fish to ask for candy, and I only prepared some candy at that time. Fei Xu’s share…”

He glanced indifferently at Lockhart, who was still lying at the foot of the wall, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

"Maybe when I was packing candies, I accidentally mixed the drug I was developing into it."

Although Snape said that he accidentally mixed up, everyone knew that he definitely did it on purpose.

"My new medicine is to combine the effects of truth serum, nagging soup, confusion potion, madness potion, hate potion... and other potions. Judging from Mr. Lockhart's performance just now, the effect is not bad?"

It was said to be a new medicine, but in fact, Snape mixed a little of the above-mentioned medicines into it at the time. He didn't even know what the specific effects would be. It was obviously an unexpected surprise to expose Lockhart, a nuisance, to himself.

The only pity is...

He glanced at Harry Potter and pursed his lips with regret.

Harry felt a chill running down his back when he noticed Snape's gaze on him.

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and patted his chest happily...

Fortunately, I was smart and threw away the Halloween candy Snape gave me early.

Of the series of potion names that Snape just announced, none of them sounded like fun!
