Chapter 1001 Is Miss Fool Going to Silence Her? !

Hermione was sitting in a corner of the library, flipping through books absentmindedly.

Elena, on the other hand, continued to try to teach Li Liang how to read in the library while she was not in class.

"For God's sake, Elena."

Hermione watched Elena hand the quill to the little fat chicken, and began to instruct it to stumble on the parchment to start arithmetic. Finally, she couldn't help but grab the reserve food, hold it in her arms and glare at Elena.

"It's just an owl! If you really plan to train a helper to help you with your homework, why don't you go to the research institute outside the school to help study the magic computer together?"

"So, you really can't help it anymore, right?"

Elena smiled evilly and said, "Then let's go take a look outside the school? Professor Lockhart should still be there now."

"I'm not--"

"Children who lie will be punished 'a hundred times', a hundred times."

Elena glanced at Hermione, who was suddenly blushing, and calmly grabbed her little chubby cock and stuffed it into her collar.

As time went by, the grain reserves grew a little bit.

Now it's at least around B+.

So, they quickly packed their schoolbags and left the library towards the school gate.

Tomorrow is the Christmas vacation. Thick, gray snowflakes are dancing in the sky, sealing every window. The castle is much darker and quieter than during the day in the past. The students in various classrooms are obviously a little absent-minded - they pass by those classrooms. At that time, I happened to hear Professor McGonagall displeasedly reminding everyone to pay attention, but judging from the chaotic responses inside, it was obvious that the effect was not good.

Elena resisted the urge to peek at the door and walked forward with Hermione.

The Hogwarts holiday was approaching, and she didn't want to be caught by an older cat lady at this time. She would have her points deducted, or be given a solitary confinement or something.

A moment later, they walked through the empty Great Hall foyer and walked out of Hogwarts Castle.

Just when Hermione and Elena were about to cross the two Hogwarts gates with winged boar statues and head to the institute, a translucent figure suddenly stood in front of them, stopping them from heading towards the institute. steps forward.

"Sorry, ladies - you can't get through here."

The ghost rider smiled and said softly, and the feather-hatted head blinked nimbly in his hands.

"Let's explore the area ahead later!"

Only after Halloween this semester did I join the school's ghost guards - the Hogwarts Ghost Patrol.

Different from the supervision and care duties of house elves and professors in the castle.

These ghost hunters from the Headless Hunters are more accustomed to patrolling the outside of Hogwarts. In addition to monitoring the forbidden forest and possible uninvited guests outside the city at any time, they also promptly dissuade and record those students who try to sneak out of the school. their scope of work.

Hermione subconsciously turned her head to look at Elena, thinking, what excuse would Elena find to sneak out this time?

After all, sneaking out this morning was their last-minute plan.

Even if you have to ask Professor Dumbledore and others to write a "leave note", you have to prepare in advance.

"Well, it's class time now, and I'm here to see Professor Lockhart." Elena replied obediently.

"Professor Lockhart?" The ghost rider raised his eyebrows, "Mr. Professor is busy now, you should go back..."

"No, won't he be here soon?"

Elena smiled slightly, and as she spoke, she took out her wand and pointed slightly forward.

"Kenaz (fire)-"

The orange beam of light surged out from the tip of Elena's wand like a wave, instantly cutting across a distance of hundreds of meters and engulfing the low concrete houses outside the school gate. The hot flames instantly penetrated the air. It was cold, and the flying snowflakes turned into dense fog.

Out of sight, Lockhart was explaining the Christmas protection plan to a group of wizards.

Different from the defense lines in the non-magical world, the magic defense network built in the wizarding world is obviously more flexible and abstract.

At this moment, suddenly, a frightening magical power came from not far away.

Along with the wave of magic came an overwhelming sea of ​​orange fire.

"Okay, you continue to strengthen the protection as mentioned before, and I will pick up the eldest lady..."

Lockhart raised his head and watched the surging orange flames stop in the air of the institute, licking the invisible magic barrier.

It is obvious that Elena Kaslana's talent in flames has improved a lot. Without this magical protective wall jointly cast by multiple elite wizards, Lockhart's magic skills alone would , maybe not even able to last ten seconds.

Farther away on the tower of Hogwarts Castle, the window of the principal's office suddenly opened, and Dumbledore leaned out in panic.

Ever since Grindelwald taught Elena the ancient flame runes, Dumbledore had one more worry in his mind - Gellert Grindelwald, who was a human wizard back then, had a chance to burn down Paris. It wouldn't be that difficult for a young succubus to set a Hogwarts on fire.

"You see, just say hello on the spur of the moment and the professors will know."

Elena put down her wand and said lightly, while waving towards the old carrot in the distance.

"Judging from the situation just now, the institute's magical protection should have been successfully deployed, which means that Professor Lockhart's main work here is almost over. The rest is just trivial details. He can come and pick us up just in time. Let’s introduce the specific progress together.”

She turned back and smiled at the ghost knight who was stunned in mid-air not far away, then turned to explain to Hermione.

"Of course, I am sensible - if the magic protection is not formed, there will be no danger."

"Just now, Elena, you didn't cast some black magic, did you?"

Hermione swallowed, her expression a little dull, and the dazzling orange fire seemed to still remain in the depths of her amber eyes.

"Of course not." Elena said seriously, "It's just a fire spell with a higher temperature and a longer flame tail. It seems a bit bluffing. Do you think that a powerful wizard like Professor Lockhart will be fooled by ordinary people?" Burned to death? Just say hello from a distance..."

"But don't you think this is too ostentatious and exaggerated -"

"I am twelve years old."

Elena glanced at Hermione quietly and said calmly.

"Remember the stories I told you before? The fairy tale about a fox pretending to be a tiger. In reality, a tiger that does not appear behind the fox at all times will not be so intuitive and effective in terms of deterrent effect. Sometimes, it makes people Understand that you are another tiger. This is not only protecting yourself, but also protecting others - in this magical world, there is no need to hide one's capabilities and bide one's time."

As the Major Arcana, especially the Major Arcana in the magical world, strength is a must.

This is a test that Hermione, Luna, and Hannah will definitely experience. On the other hand, this is also the biggest uncertainty.

In the long-standing magical society, the judgment of a wizard's strength has always been subjective and accidental. For example, the danger of black wizards depends on how many horrific crimes they commit, while the strength of white wizards comes from their How many bad guys have been defeated.

For Elena, the costs of both methods are too high.

So Elena opted for something a little softer in the long run.

Hermione may not understand some of the truth now, but that doesn't stop Elena from showing it to her in advance.

"Oh, Miss Kaslana, Miss Granger, are you here?"

Just as Elena and Hermione were talking, Lockhart's voice came from far in front.

The blond wizard walked over quickly and nodded towards the ghost hunter next to him with a bright smile.

"Leave it to me, thank you for your hard work, sir. This is a specially approved off-campus study session. I will remember to mark it in the registration book the day before Hogwarts next time to avoid misunderstandings like this happening again. However, there are still surprises in everything, right?"

"Uh, well, that's understandable. After all, this young lady is so--excellent."

The ghost hunter passed his head between his hands, and finally thought about it and put it back on his neck.

"The area outside the school belongs to you. Since you are accompanied by a formal professor, I will continue to patrol around the school."

As a new member who had just joined Hogwarts, he had not quite understood what "Nearly Headless Nick" and Albus Dumbledore said about Miss Elena Kaslana's "extreme danger". Don't provoke that child's advice easily.

After all, in his opinion, no matter how dangerous the living little wizard is, it is not too outrageous.

but……

The ghost subconsciously glanced at the white mist that still remained in the air, and tried hard to suppress the tremor that had just unconsciously surged in his heart.

The boundary between the living and the dead is not as far and clear as people imagine.

When magic power and skill reach a certain level, even the incarnation of a ghost will be injured or even killed completely.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that she can create delicious "ghost dishes". Compared with the so-called children's flash of inspiration, this kind of "soul food" that has never appeared in thousands of years was born in thousands of years. It is obviously more logical to meet a new top wizard star.

"Good morning, Professor Lockhart, I hope I haven't disturbed your work."

Elena said playfully, without any of the aura of the queen when she released the spell just now.

"Granger has a question that has been bothering her for a long time. After thinking about it for a while, she still plans to get the answer from you."

"The problem that has been bothering you for a long time?"

Gilderoy Lockhart's expression froze slightly, and he glanced politely at the girl standing next to Elena.

Perhaps in the eyes of most people, these two little witches are as cute as angels from heaven, but in the eyes of Gilderoy Lockhart, they are even more terrifying than his mother - ever since he learned that Hermione Granger was promoted Reserve Major Arcana, he began to worry about this day coming.

Every Major Arcana, even the Reserve Major Arcana, must symbolize the owner of the throne at the top of a certain realm.

In fact, Lockhart had been paying attention to this little witch who was close to Elena from a long time ago.

As one of the few geniuses in Hogwarts who can rival Elena, in the eyes of the students, Hermione may just be an honors student who is no less good than Elena, but in Lockhart's eyes, she is extremely talented. Maybe it's another witch who hasn't shown her horns and fangs yet.

"Hello, Professor Lockhart," Hermione said with some embarrassment, "Actually, I wanted to talk to you about this matter as early as the beginning of term..."

really! Sure enough, it finally came? !

Most of the color on Lockhart's face disappeared instantly.

And with last week's impromptu meeting and today's surprise visit, his worst fears have obviously been confirmed.

You know, there are quite intriguing hints hidden behind each Major Arcana's main card, such as his "The Hanged Man".

According to the explanations seen by Nico Flamel and Lockhart in various "Tarot Divination" books: The Hanged Man is an extension of justice. People who truly uphold justice in reality will make people afraid, so those who have Sinful people do everything they can to frame justice.

So Justice was hung upside down and became the Hanged Man. Although he was tied up, this obviously did not bother him.

The Hanged Man can use this time to reflect on his life. After being turned upside down, he can re-observe the world.

It was useless for the Hanged Man to struggle; it would only make him exhausted before he could regain his freedom.

His best approach is to meditate and then go with the flow to gain a deeper understanding of who he is and what he should do.

This card means: He is ready to give up what he has so that he can do what he should really do in this life.

And all of this corresponds exactly to everything Lockhart has experienced during this period.

Regardless of the order or reverse, or even the interpretation of the meaning, they all match as if this card was born for him. Even the origin of this Tarot card in older documents, the ancient wizard hangs himself upside down and understands this. The Nigerian characters and inherited magic also began to become similar.

Then, by analogy——

When the real Miss Justice, the Major Arcana, appears, the first stop must be him.

wait wait wait!

Think about the good first, Gilderoy!

Maybe it’s just some general questions about grammar, rhetoric, or the wizard in black!

"Ahem, Miss Granger, are you confused?" Lockhart tried to keep his voice calm.

"Well, it can't be considered confused -"

Hermione subconsciously imitated Elena's habit, scratched her cheek sheepishly, and whispered.

"I want to talk to you about your autobiographies and some handovers that may involve high confidentiality..."

"!!!"

This action is exactly the same as Miss Fool——

The luck in Lockhart's heart was shattered instantly, and the last trace of blood on his lips disappeared.

Is this... going to silence me? !
