Chapter 109: Mermaid Best Man Scamander

After more than half a year, Hermione finally succeeded in brewing the truth serum.

Even many adult wizards are unable to brew such difficult potions, but Hermione can do it in the second grade. She is really talented in potions.

But unfortunately, the Veritaserum cannot work yet because... Dobby was not caught!

Dobby is a house elf who lives in the Malfoy manor every day. He occasionally apparates to the school to "take care of" Harry, and never shows up the rest of the time.

It is not easy to catch him and give him truth serum.

The breakthrough lies with Draco. He is also Dobby's master. He can summon him to Hogwarts and let him take Veritaserum.

But Draco was not at Hogwarts either. Although he was not injured, he had a fight with Harry in the toilet on Valentine's Day and saw Goyle's miserable condition...

The impact was so great that he was sent to St. Mungo's Hospital for Witchcraft and Wizardry by his father.

There was little chance of catching Dobby until Draco returned.

With Draco leaving, it wasn't all bad. At least Slytherin was missing a Seeker for the Quidditch match in February.

In order to gather the players, captain Frings called back former seeker Terrence Higgins and re-assigned him to the starting lineup.

It may be because he is grudged for being robbed of the starting position, or it may be that he has not played for a long time and his skills are rusty, or it may be that Higgins cheated and bought Slytherin and lost...

The specific reasons are unknown. In short, Terrence Higgins' performance after returning was a disaster. He repeatedly fouled, gave away free throws to opposing players, and knocked down his own captain Flins, causing Flint to fall off the broom. Fall down.

In the end, Slytherin defeated Gryffindor miserably... Professor McGonagall almost broke out in laughter.

Colin Creevey also secretly photographed a Slytherin fan exposed.

It was indeed a leaked picture. Only thirty minutes into the game, the score difference reached three digits. Under the leadership of Snape, all the Slytherin students decisively left the field!

We don't tolerate this nonsense!

Gryffindor also urgently needed this big win, because after Harry was detained for review, he was temporarily unable to play, and the team could only find a weak temporary substitute.

With the opponents all having their own problems, it was normal for the Hufflepuff Quidditch team to lead the first place, but what was surprising was that the second place was actually Ravenclaw.

After replacing Seeker Qiu Zhang, this Wannian Fish Belly Team unexpectedly rose, as if its strength had regressed back to twenty years ago overnight.

The match between Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw is crucial, whoever wins will be first in points.

Ravenclaw, who has always been at the bottom in the past, is expected to compete for first place this year. This also gives the Ravenclaw students an illusion... They are very strong this year!

The eaglets have been suppressed for too long, and now they are a little arrogant. They even brag wildly before the game that they are old enemies with the Hufflepuff Quidditch team.

But it is a pity that Hufflepuff won the game cleanly, completing its unbeatable record against the Ravenclaw team in nine years!

Who is your old enemy?

Those who come and go are called rivals. Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw are at best father beating son!

As March enters, the weather begins to get warmer, the sun is shining, the spring breeze is gentle, the lawns are lush and green, and the whomping willows are sprouting buds. When the wind blows, the willow branches will sway.

The weather is very good and suitable for fun, but the atmosphere in the school is still very solemn. All students in the school have increased their vigilance and only dare to wander in the library and lounge.

The young wizards suddenly imitated Quirrell and became popular with amulets and amulets. Not only amethysts and silverware, but also garlic and crosses became popular.

There were also students selling werewolf teeth, which were said to ward off evil spirits when worn around the neck. Neville also spent a lot of money to buy a few wolf teeth and gave them to Rolf and the others.

With just one glance, Luo Fu saw that it was a fake dog tooth. In the end, the seller compensated three for one fake one... and lost another three dog teeth.

With Mrs. Filch and Mrs. Pince injured, and Lockhart missing, the school's staff is no longer sufficient.

As a matter of course, Professor Snape once again served as the acting Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher.

Defense Against the Dark Arts course,

A large box was placed on the podium, and a terrible, half-sucking, half-moaning sound came from inside, accompanied by an unpleasant smell similar to that emanating from the sewer.

The box contained a color-changing ghoul.

Ghouls are no stranger to wizards. They are ugly creatures that look like trolls with slimy bodies and buck teeth.

Ghouls like to live in the attics of human houses. They are not very dangerous creatures, but they are just annoying because they are always moaning.

But color-changing ghouls are different. Although they are also a type of ghoul, they have a violent personality. They also have a layer of magic on their skin, which allows them to disguise themselves as everyday objects, and then attack when the wizard approaches.

Even the Ministry of Magic has set up a special ghoul squad to drive away the color-changing ghouls from wizards' residences.

Snape is teaching students how to deal with color-changing ghouls.

"Now, who can tell me the difference between a color-changing ghoul and a regular ghoul?"

Snape walked around the classroom, his black robes swinging behind him. His dark eyes suddenly stared at Neville and smiled:

"Let us hear Mr. Longbottom's opinion."

Neville stood up tremblingly. He had reviewed this passage with Rolf and recited it several times, but his mind was blank at this moment.

Rolf's lips moved slightly, and he reminded Neville in a low voice. Shirley stepped on Rolf lightly with her foot to remind the boy not to speak.

It turned out that Snape had appeared behind them silently, and his eyes flashed malicious light through his greasy black hair.

"Scamander, you seem to have a lot to say about this question?" Snape sneered in a greasy voice:

"But I'm asking Longbottom now, don't interrupt... Hufflepuff deduct five points!

And Miss Swinton, you just stepped on Scamander's shoes... Ravenclaw deduct five points."

Shirley: "..."

"Uh... this... they are different colors." Neville stuttered: "Color-changing ghouls can change color."

"Oh, very good, you can already say what five-year-old children know." Snape sneered:

"It is obvious that Professor Lockhart's genius education has not been in vain on you."

Many people laughed out loud.

"Speaking of Professor Lockhart." Snape paused for a moment and smiled: "I think you are all very curious about his whereabouts?"

Everyone looked up at Snape.

Lockhart had been missing for several weeks, and no one mentioned him, as if he had never existed. Everyone really wanted to know where he had gone.

Even if he fell into the Black Lake and drowned, there should be a body, right?

"I might as well tell you that Lockhart is at the bottom of the Black Lake, and he is about to marry a mermaid." Snape grinned and said, "You may receive an invitation after a while."

"..."

All the students started to murmur, digesting this shocking news.

"By the way, Scamander, go to the Black Lake after class, Dumbledore is waiting for you there."

"Did he say what it is, professor?" Rolf asked cautiously.

"Lockhart is marrying a mermaid, and he needs you to be the best man." Snape gloated:

"Remind you, according to the traditional customs of mermaids, the best man has to sleep with the mermaid bride at night."

"..."
