I became Voldemort

Chapter 31: Lockhart: What can a stinky potion refiner do?

As soon as Snape woke up, he rushed to Dumbledore's office.

Now, he will not come back with these magic materials because he has no evidence. The Ministry of Magic has never considered Legilimency as evidence because memory can be modified. But the losses totaling more than a thousand galleons had to be reimbursed by someone who was taken advantage of.

This person must not be the one being taken advantage of!

When Snape rushed to the Headmaster's office angrily, he discovered that another annoying peacock was also there.

"Please wait, Severus," Dumbledore said quietly.

"Good afternoon, Snape." Lockhart showed what he thought was a charming smile, which immediately annoyed Snape even more. "Why did you come here too? Could it be that you found out that I planned to apply to the Headmaster to organize a dueling club? Ahh, so you came here to be my assistant, huh?"

"Duel Club?"

Lockhart's words briefly pulled Snape out of his annoyance, and then came his contemptuous gaze, as if to say: "You will teach dueling?"

But Lockhart had no idea.

He probably thinks he is the perfect candidate.

"Dumbledore, the situation is very serious now. Someone has been hurt. I think it is very necessary to organize a dueling club and fully train everyone in case they need to defend themselves one day! Protect yourself in the same way I have used countless times. ——And I am also a member of the Defense Against the Dark Arts Association, I think there is no one more suitable than me!"

He looked at Dumbledore with burning eyes, expecting to get a positive response from Dumbledore.

It hardly took Dumbledore long to agree.

This excited Lockhart greatly.

"Believe me, you will definitely be glad that you made this decision!" He said, "You are in luck". "Although I promised you to teach this course, the duel club does not count. This is My own small contribution to my little student's safety! No need to owe me!"

"Thank you so much!" Dumbledore said playfully, "So, let me think about the candidate for your assistant, what about Filius? He was a duel champion when he was young." Dumbledore strongly recommended it.

Lockhart's expression changed immediately when he heard the word "Dueling Champion" and he paced back and forth anxiously in the office, but he soon thought of a suitable excuse.

"F... Filius... although he was indeed very powerful when he was young, but now, I doubt whether he can keep up with my pace. To tell you the truth, if wizard duels hadn't been canceled in the UK, now Maybe I would be the champion."

*Scoff* Hearing this, even Snape found it very funny.

At this time, Lockhart's eyes turned to Snape. He recalled Snape's behavior during school days. It seemed that he was often bullied by several Gryffindors? They were four years apart, and Lockhart wasn't very aware of Snape's performance during his school days.

'However, I still vaguely remember that there was a student in Slytherin House who didn't like to wash his hair and was often bullied by several people from Gryffindor.'

If this is the case, then he must have no ability!

Also, what can a stinky-faced person who makes magic potions do?

There's no way you can win a duel with the skill of burning a dry pot!

Thinking of this, Lockhart's eyes lit up and he immediately used a provocation:

"Professor Snape, you are a suitable candid— ah, forget it, I'm afraid my powerful magic might hurt you, I'd better think about others."

"Mr Lockhart is worrying about hurting me? No need—— *scoff*"

Snape laughed in anger, and looked at Lockhart with a very unkind look, "It just so happens that I know a thing or two about dueling."

"That's great!" Lockhart was afraid that Snape would refuse, so he rushed forward and slapped Snape's shoulders hard with both hands. "That's it, Dumbledore! Snape will be mine. Mine Assistant I mean, don't worry, I won't let the children's Potions Master be harmed!"

Snape swept his hand away from his shoulder in disgust, and at the same time rubbed the back of his hand mercilessly on his cloak.

"Now that you have reached an agreement, it couldn't be better," Dumbledore said happily, and he was about to see off the guests. "Severus, may I know the reason for you coming here?"

Snape was brought back into anger by Dumbledore's words, and he spoke before Lockhart even left the headmaster's office.

"I'm going to report a few thieves to you - they stole my potion ingredients!"

"Have you been robbed?" Lockhart, who was about to step out of the principal's office door, immediately turned around and strode over, "It seems that my dueling assistant has encountered a little trouble. But catching a thief is not something I am bragging about - if you have read my books, you will know that I have done it countless times. Finding clues and finding the murderer will never be a problem for me!"

He turned around enthusiastically and spared no effort to take over the matter.

"Leave it to me, and the thief can be caught and brought to justice as soon as tomorrow!"

But both Snape and Dumbledore ignored him. They had completed the communication just by looking into each other's eyes.

"The school director will compensate you for your losses." Dumbledore said, "In addition, please pay attention -"

"You don't need to tell me, I will pay attention to her!" Snape flipped his cloak, turned, and left.

"What's wrong?" Lockhart was still wondering if Snape wasn't here to ask for help?

Why did you leave so suddenly?

He didn't want to miss any opportunity to be in the limelight, so he quickly followed him and chirped in Snape's ear: "Seriously, Snape, if I take action, I will definitely be able to steal back your ingredients and win! Seeing as we are colleagues I will help you for free, otherwise, it will be another price! Come on, take me to your office, I have an automatic tracking magic, just use it and you can find the murderer immediately! "

Snape shuddered when he thought of his ability to make Harry's hand bones disappear and heal with a spell, fearing that his spell would explode all his other potions!

And the thought of Harry's hand bones being taken away made him even more annoyed.

'I don't have to be old-fashioned to protect that kid, but this guy actually dares to let him, Lily's son, get hurt?'

You're done, Peacock!

"Ah! Let's just focus on your Dueling Club - I will be happy to be your assistant!" Snape smiled cruelly.

(Translation: Wait to die! )

But Lockhart was already lost in the illusion of his own glory.

"That's it. We will hold one before Christmas. You may be asked to help me give a small demonstration. Don't worry, it won't hurt you. We won't use powerful magic, only defensive magic, to remove your weapons and armor to protect yourself. Okay? This will not be difficult for you, it's just a disarming spell! No need to worry."
