Although the matter of Harry's moving out was over, Severus began to worry. Even if there were Death Eaters as a reason now, he would have no reason to keep Harry after the matter was resolved.Although I haven't thought of any way to deal with those people yet, it's not good to keep delaying.

Dobby sent news from Malfoy, saying that those people had moved to a small manor under the name of the Malfoy family, because Lucius is now working in the Ministry of Magic, and there are often guests at home, plus the aristocratic family There are a lot of human relations between them, and those people who always live there may be discovered at any time.To be on the safe side, Soul Piece in the Golden Cup asked Lucius to provide them with a closed small manor.

Dumbledore and the others breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the news, so that Lucius would have the opportunity to communicate with them.

That night, Lucius arrived at Hogwarts through the Portkey sent by Severus - just a while ago, Severus cut off the Floo network connected to Malfoy Manor for safety reasons.

Harry was already asleep.Severus led Lucius through the fireplace to the headmaster's office, where Dumbledore was already waiting.

After the three of them sat down, Lucius talked in detail about the situation of Jinbei and Death Eaters in his house these days.

"They came to the gate of the manor suddenly that night, Rodolphus Lestrange, Antonin Dolokhov, Peter Pedirou, and the gold cup." Distorted for a while, "Hmph, those three idiots are actually relying on that soul piece to back them up and tell me what to do. Sooner or later, I will make them pay back ten times!"

He took a sip of water angrily, and continued: "They stayed that night, and then asked me to find a way to get Rodolphs to Hogwarts. I dragged on for two days, and the newspaper reported that Bella died at They stopped after the news about Hogsmeade. The guy in the golden cup obviously didn’t trust me. He only came out once from the beginning to the end, and he didn’t let me see where the golden cup itself is. It was only then that the Odd couple realized that he was the one in the Golden Cup. They didn’t tell me a lot of things. After what happened to Bella, they began to ask me to find another place for them to settle down. But in order to observe more, I postponed it until today. Done. I found one thing, those three idiots don't seem to know about the 'Horcrux', they don't know how the gold cup fooled them, they seem to think that it is left by a great Slytherin A dark magic item that nourishes the soul, and the person is only hiding in it to heal because the soul is damaged."

"No," said Dumbledore, frowning. "How did you explain the crown to them? Didn't they have any suspicion when they saw two Voldemorts?"

Lucius said in surprise, "They have the crown too? I haven't heard them mention it at all."

Dumbledore told him about the diadem.

"No wonder... no wonder they looked so embarrassed that night, and I don't know how many times they have been gouged out by the golden cup..." Lucius raised the corners of his mouth gloatingly, "As for whether they saw the two Dark Lords get up?" I don’t know if I’m suspicious, anyway, they still seem to be very loyal.”

"Lucius," Severus said with a frown, "go out with Narcissa to hide for a while after you go back, the farther the better, they don't trust you anymore, if you continue to entangle with them I don’t know what the consequences will be.” In the past two years, Lucius has started to follow the people-friendly route, and he is not as divorced from the people as before. Most people think that he seems to be going to the bright side, so how can those people Do you suspect him?

Lucius nodded, "I think so too. As for them, I have asked Dobby to observe, and he will notify you if there is any movement. I can't tell you the address of that place. They told me Use the Unbreakable Charm."

The three discussed some details before Lucius left Hogwarts.

Then there was another long period of silence.

In the second week of December, the deans of each college began to collect the list of students who stayed in school, because the Christmas holiday was approaching.

Both Harry and Draco stayed in school this year, because the Malfoys went abroad to avoid the limelight. Harry's dog, Sirius, was warned by Dumbledore that it was not safe outside, so he decided to come to school to spend Christmas with Harry.It stands to reason that parents of students cannot come to the school casually, but Dumbledore couldn't stand Sirius' pleading, and agreed to let him become a big dog to accompany Harry on Christmas Eve and Christmas.For this reason, Severus gave Dumbledore a lot of "swish" eyes.

Due to some strange obsession of Mrs. Lockhart, the Dueling Club, headed by her husband, was opened anyway.

In the third week of December, when Harry was going to the Great Hall for dinner after class, he saw a notice posted in the foyer, which read: "Duel Club, first meeting tonight at eight o'clock - Gilderoy Lockhart." Although concise and clear, the font is very flamboyant.

Harry asked Severus about it when he returned to the cellar after dinner.

"What? You want to go?" Severus asked casually.

Harry nodded with hope, "Yes, I heard that Professor Lockhart is very powerful, and although he talked a little more nonsense in class, the lessons he taught were very useful. I don't know what he will teach this time. What……"

Severus snorted disapprovingly, secretly planning to be a bit tougher when he demonstrated with Lockhart tonight.

Seeing that his expression was not good, Harry asked with concern, "Professor, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay." Severus looked at the book without looking up, and said lightly, "You can't learn anything from that dueling club. I'll teach you when I have time."

The little thing's face lit up all of a sudden, and he asked happily, "Really? Really? Can I be as good as the professor?"

"Heh, how do you know I'm good?" Severus said with a smile.

"You are already very powerful," Harry said enthusiastically, "When I learn a very powerful spell, I will protect you like you protect me!"

Severus was amused by him, "Protect me? Mr. Savior can't wait to save the world? Will you attack spells? And protect me..."

The little thing wrinkled his nose, "Why can't I protect you? Are you also my important person? Hmph, the professor looks down on people!"

Severus stroked his head, "Okay, I'll just wait for you to protect me."

So at eight o'clock in the evening, Harry pulled his friends to the front of the stage in the auditorium with great interest.

"What's so interesting about this," Draco muttered, "what useful things can that bastard Professor Lockhart teach, in my opinion his wife is much better than him, once I saw her pull Listening to his ears, he dare not answer a word."

Instant gossip blazed in Harry's and Neville's eyes.

"Pull the ears? Really? Mrs. Lockhart is amazing!" Neville looked adoring, "It's like grandma!" The kid always thought his grandma was the most powerful witch...

Harry was concerned about another question, "Why did Mrs. Lockhart pull Professor Lockhart's ear? Did she finally find out that a girl wrote him a love letter?"

"Harry!" Draco exclaimed in surprise, "How do you know that a girl wrote him a love letter?"

Harry looked calm, "Sylvanas said it."

Neville nodded at the side, rubbed his chin and said with a deep expression: "Well, it is said that there are quite a few more. I heard that there are boys who have written. Harry, your guess is very reliable!"

"But I don't think there's much hope for those people," said Harry old-fashionedly. "Professor Lockhart is so afraid of his wife, he must not dare to do anything. It is reported that all the love letters he received have been secretly 'flaming'." ' is."

Draco looked at the two little badgers with a look of embarrassment, and finally understood why Hufflepuff was called "Hogwarts gossip distribution center", even the two pure little things in his hands Love gossip, one can imagine how much Hufflepuff's interior is...cough...

At this moment Lockhart stepped onto the stage in his best robes, next to the Potions Master, still in black.

"Ah!" Harry exclaimed happily, "So the professor is coming to teach us too~"

He clenched his fists excitedly, stared at Severus with sparkling eyes, and encouraged him quietly: "Professor! Come on!"

Lockhart waved the crowd to silence, and he called: "Collect, gather! Can each of you see me? Can you hear me? Excellent! Now, Professor Dumbledore has agreed with me. Set up a dueling club to train you in case you need to defend yourself, as I have done countless times—the details can be found in my writings."

"Let me introduce my assistant, Professor Snape," said Lockhart, with a wide grin. "He told me he knew quite a bit about fighting, and promised to provide some temporary assistance before we began. , I don't want you young men to worry - you'll still have your Potions master, and when I beat him - don't be afraid!"

Harry gave him a contemptuous look when he heard this, and moaned softly: "Hmph, the professor won't lose! I beat you all over the place!" His little affection for Lockhart was gone. up.

Standing on the stage with a murderous look, Severus saw his indignation sharply, and was in a good mood, so he took a few steps towards Lockhart, with the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, showing a vicious smile.

"Pick him up! Professor, clean him up!" Harry moaned excitedly.

Draco and Neville stared at the sky speechlessly.
