A day at Hogwarts

The castle was quiet at night, Malfoy, who was scared away by Charles, ran to the first floor in a panic, his footsteps were extremely loud.

What followed was the sound of people colliding with each other, followed by shouting.

On the second floor of the castle, Malfoy and Dean Thomas were swearing at each other with [wizard swear] and [muggle swear] in the corridor leading to the school infirmary.

It sounds like Malfoy just ran into Dean while running down the corridor.

"Legs freeze and stop!"

Malfoy suddenly pulled out his wand and cast a Leg-Locking Charm on Dean, and Dean's legs were immediately held together as if glued together.

Malfoy then gave Dean a hard push, knocking him to the ground.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps in the corridor, and Neville ran over from the other end, saw Dean fall and drew out his wand to cast a spell on Malfoy.

"Climb for me!"

The spell learned from Charles flew towards Malfoy, hitting the target with precision.

I saw Malfoy lying on the ground, crawling towards the stairs like an inchworm, his buttocks sticking out.

Charles gave him a puzzled look at the corner of the stairs, wondering what the guy was doing.

When Charles was about to go up to the second floor, he heard Neville and Dean talking, so he stopped.

The relationship between Neville and Dean was very bad these days, and they often quarreled. When Charles returned to the castle this afternoon, he saw them being carried to the school infirmary. He heard from Seamus that the two had a fight in the dueling club.

Neville seemed to hesitate for a moment, then bent down and reached out to Dean, who was sitting on the ground with his legs stretched out.

Dean also hesitated for a while, and finally reached out for Neville to pull him up.

"Can I go?" Neville asked.

Dean shook his head and said, "No, I can't move my legs."

Neville said, "I'll help you find Madam Pomfrey."

Dean was silent for a moment and said, "Thank you."

So Neville supported Dean, and Dean jumped up and down, and the two walked towards the school doctor's room they had just left.

As soon as Charles caught Peeves who was about to make trouble, he heard Neville say to Dean, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have kicked you so hard under the bed that day."

When half of Peeves was pushed into the floor, Dean said: "It was my fault that day, I didn't pay attention, and it crushed Raffle."

"What happened just now... Thank you, if you didn't come here, I don't know what Malfoy would do."

When the two disappeared in the corner of the corridor, Charles lifted Peeves up and said with a smile, "Okay, you can start playing pranks when they return to the common room."

Peeves asked him in horror, "How did you manage to catch me?"

Charles just smiled. It can't be said that Tom Riddle has been studying this magic since the first grade just to give you two slaps, and it didn't come to fruition until last year.

It has to be said that Voldemort's mind is really good, and he invented a glove spell in order to slap Peeves twice.

This magic glove is divided into several layers, the innermost layer can be in contact with the skin, each layer can control the outer layer from the inside to the outside, and the outermost layer can contact Peeves in the "wave state".

Charles let go of Peeves and went back to the common room. The matter between Neville and Dean is not a big deal, young man, just speak up and admit your mistakes.

In the Gryffindor common room late at night, only the Weasley twins who came back from the night tour and Hermione who forgot the time while reading a book.

It's just that Hermione today is different from usual. She is sitting at the table in a daze, with a copy of "Daily Prophet" that she has read countless times in front of her.

Charles sat aside and asked softly, "What's the matter, what happened?"

He was a little worried that Mr. Granger had some kind of medical malpractice and his family would have to pay a lot of money.

Hermione seemed to have collapsed her three views, she just kept asking, "Why? Why?"

Charles took the newspaper in front of Hermione and read it carefully. Except for today's front page headline and the first three pages saying that a person was imprisoned in Azkaban, there was nothing else to be concerned about.

He was thinking in his heart, a certain reporter ran quite fast, skinned the travel trilogy in such a short time, and interviewed a large number of witnesses to prove that none of those things were done by Gilderoy Lockhart .

Moreover, Rita Skeeter used the art of language in the detailed report. After reading it, Charles felt that the ashes of the victims had been lifted.

"Ouch!"

Hermione let out a cry of pain, put her head in her hands, and the first thing she did when she came to her senses was to glare at Charles angrily.

Charles withdrew the knife in his hand and said to her: "Okay, isn't it that Gilderoy Lockhart was imprisoned in Azkaban? The evidence is solid. I thought you found out that Harry was a girl."

Hermione froze for a moment, then shouted in surprise, "Harry is a girl?"

At this time, Neville and Dean were just about to go upstairs to the dormitory when they heard Charles' words and Hermione's exclamation.

The two looked at each other, and both saw the surprise in each other's eyes. Harry lived in the same dormitory as them.

It's just that the two hurried back to the dormitory, and didn't hear Charles say to Hermione: "Oh, it seems that you are not completely stupid."

Hermione didn't care about Gilderoy Lockhart anymore, she tugged on Charles' sleeve and asked, "Harry is really a girl?"

In her opinion, magic is very magical, and it should be no problem to turn a girl into a boy. Moreover, Charles and Harry have been neighbors since they were young, and they may know many secrets that are not known.

Charles said helplessly: "How is it possible? I saw you sitting here stupidly just now, and thought you were stupid."

"I remember that you seemed to have bought a lot of Gilderoy Lockhart's books during your Christmas vacation. I felt tired when I saw you carrying them on the train."

Hermione said angrily: "You are so stupid, I just can't think that he looks so charming and has won so many honors, he can be a liar!"

Charles shrugged and said: "Liars don't write themselves as liars on their faces."

"Do you still remember that Ronila and I were kidnapped during the spring outing last year? Who would have thought that the person in the fast food truck was the kidnapper? Didn't you also go there to buy things?"

"Some people can't just look at the surface, but also look at what he has done."

"I dealt with Gilderoy Lockhart at the door of the bookstore and found him annoying..."

Then Charles recounted what Lockhart had stuffed himself with the book that day.

After Hermione heard it, Gilderoy Lockhart's image in her heart collapsed more completely.

Charles stood up, pulled Hermione up again, and said to her, "It's so late, it's time to go to bed."

The little girl needs to reshape her three outlooks, but she has to get a good night's sleep to clear her mind, otherwise her mind will become chaotic and easy to walk into a dead end.

Hermione shook her head and said, "I can't sleep, I keep thinking about this and feel cheated."

Charles twitched his lips slightly and said to her, "Then do you want me to sing you a lullaby?"

Hermione's face changed, and she immediately ran faster than Malfoy just now, and the "Daily Prophet" on the table was gone.
