Because of being drunk, Grete took the first leave of the new school year.
Professor Sprout did not see Gretel in the herbal medicine class, and regretfully expressed that he originally wanted Gretel to give a demonstration to others.
After lunch, Terry brought Gretel a bottle of potion prepared by Snape.
No one knows how Snape knew about Gretel's drunkenness.
Terry held his head high and imitated Snape's words vividly.
"Bring this bottle of uplifting potion to Mike Gretel and tell him that if he doesn't come to brew the potion tonight, I promise that one-third of his salary will be deducted."
After finishing speaking, he did not forget to imitate Snape, throw off his cloak, fold his arms and leave.
Fortunately, the alcohol intake was not large, and Snape's uplifting potion was used.
Gretel finally returned to normal at the end of his lunch break.
On the way to the Transfiguration classroom, Terry kept pestering him, asking him why Lockhart let him go.
Apparently before he woke up, Lockhart's anger almost ignited the entire classroom.
Gretel really couldn't explain Terry's curiosity.
He couldn't say it was because before school started, Lockhart dragged him into the office to help him reply to fans' letters.
In order to avoid this trouble, Gretel directly exposed the fact that he stole other people's experiences.
I don't know if Lockhart was obsessed with ghosts. When Gretel turned to leave, he picked up the magic spell and cast the Oblivion Curse on Gretel.
No one knows how he, a partial student who specializes in the Forgetting Curse, has the confidence to take action against others, and he is someone who obviously knows his background.
Afterwards, Gretel realized that, like the Death Eaters who attacked him, no one would think that a second-year wizard could compete with an adult wizard.
Lockhart also had the same mentality. He felt that he had the ability to make a comeback and even defeat Gretel.
For him, the simplest method was to use a forgetting spell to modify the memory of this second-year wizard.
As long as Grete can forget this secret, he will already be an internationally famous writer.
Lockhart should be lucky that Gretel has recently cultivated his mind and controlled his reactions.
Otherwise, what he was treated to would not be the Cruciatus Curse, but the miserable green Avatar.
If that were the case, one of the two teachers and students would have died long ago, and the other would have successfully transferred to Azkaban.
Faced with Lockhart lying on the ground, crying and begging, Gretel didn't know how to end it.
But he couldn't let Lockhart leave like that.
Gretel did not dare to bet. In his opinion, the liar who fell on the ground once pursued fame more than his life.
Even if he swears sincerely now.
He said that he would never reveal to anyone that Gretel had used an illegal Unforgivable Curse on him.
But Gretel has no trust in this kind of liar.
He was still worried that after this guy was out of danger, he would turn around and sell him to Dumbledore.
A wizard who was so good at casting the Unforgivable Curse in his second year didn't look like he was following the right path.
In his own opinion, the same is true.
Among the little snakes in Slytherin, there is no one who is now proficient in the Unforgivable Curse.
Even if this matter is exposed, even if Gretel reveals the fact that Lockhart stole other people's stories.
I'm afraid they will all be regarded as false accusations.
Humane destruction is even more impossible. An injury to a student can trigger a martial law investigation in Hogwarts.
If a professor who had just been appointed and had not formally taught classes yet was left at Hogwarts like this, the impact would be unimaginable.
When he was at a loss, Gretel saw a roll of parchment on Lockhart, who was rolling on the floor.
In Lockhart's desperate eyes, Gretel flew the parchment and seized the support he had relied on to dominate the wizarding world for many years.
This rather clumsy parchment contains a lost ancient magic spell.
Different from the popular oblivion spell, this forgetting spell is more powerful.
Not only can it make others forget specified memories, but it can also weave and add the memories you need into the mind of the cursed person according to your own needs.
Also, how could such a showy wizard fall prey to so many experienced wizards in just a few years?
Obviously he doesn't have this talent.
Charms are not difficult to learn, and it didn't take Gretel long to master them.
What surprised him the most was when this special Forgetting Spell logged into the panel.
A new entry appeared out of thin air in the talent column.
[Memory Master: Memory is also a lie. If you indulge in weaving memories, you will eventually lose your way.]
Maybe after so many years of not suffering much, Gretel modified Lockhart's memory.
Lockhart, who had eaten a heart-breaking meal, still had a vague fear of Gretel.
Even during class, Terry realized something was wrong.
Having been roommates for a year, Gretel certainly knows how easy this guy is to fool.
I just found any reason to divert Terry's attention.
It was Hufflepuff who took the Transfiguration class together, and the relationship between the eagle and badger seemed to be better than that between the eagle and the snake at some points.
For example, "Terry, let me tell you, there are hundreds of house elves in the kitchen of Hogwarts. I will take you to sneak in together sometime."
Then let’s try the chocolate sauce and mustard toast you mentioned.”
When Grete heard this suggestion, he couldn't help but trembled a few times.
What kind of dark cuisine is this?
It sounds comparable to strawberry mapo tofu and pearl-filled xiaolongbao.
Fortunately, the arrival of Professor McGonagall saved Gretel from this dark atmosphere in the cooking world.
Minerva McGonagall pushed up her glasses, which were about to scratch the bridge of her nose, and glanced at all the students who were absent.
He coughed lightly, and a rare smile appeared on his serious face.
"The new school year has arrived. You are already in the second grade. The study of the last school year is already a thing of the past.
Regardless of whether your final exam last semester was good or bad, starting from today will be a new beginning.
I hope you can study this course seriously in the new year, because by the time of the final exam of this school year, I will no longer let you down."
While Professor McGonagall was speaking, he glanced at Terry, who was scratching his head next to Gretel.
During the exam last school year, his deformation was in the crotch-stretching category.
After receiving a blow in the eye, Terry, who couldn't sit still, calmed down.
"So in the new school year, let's first recall the changes in the still life from last semester."
Sure enough, after a long holiday, many people's transformation spells have become unfamiliar.
For example, in the last school year, everyone could easily do the exchange of still life items such as matches turning into needles and feathers turning into pens.
In the first class of the new school year, many people did it with regret.
The needle that retained the match head, the pen that retained the filamentous barbules, and the transformations that retained all kinds of strange defects shocked Grete who had succeeded once.
But it seemed like Professor McGonagall was used to it and didn't feel any disappointment.
She told the little wizards in a pleasant manner, asking them to concentrate and use their will to shape the transformations they wanted.
Fortunately, everyone is just unfamiliar with each other, not completely forgotten.
In less than half a class, most people have regained their previous feelings.
"Well, now that we have reacquainted everyone with the Transformation Spell, we will start a new course.
How to transform a dead object into a living thing."
To demonstrate, Professor McGonagall grabbed a bunch of feathers and threw them into the air.
The spell sounded and after the magic was covered, the flying feathers turned into a group of smart white doves, hovering over the heads of all the little wizards.
The transformation of animals obviously arouses the enthusiasm of little wizards more than the transformation of still life.
Even when get out of class was over, a bunch of people were still throwing transformation spells at the leaves in front of them.
The goal of this lesson is to turn leaves into butterflies, and very few people succeed.
Gretel was convinced that if it weren't for Professor McGonagall, she would have classes for other grades.
This group of people can collectively ask Professor McGonagall to stop the class.
After the teachers and students said goodbye to each other, Gretel stuffed his things into his small bag and rushed out of the teaching building.
He had to rush to the greenhouse to find the little princess of the Weasley family, Ginny Weasley.
He had already inquired about Gryffindor's first-year curriculum.
This afternoon, the first years of Gryffindor and Ravenclaw will have Herbology here.
No one knows when young Tom Riddle will take action.
Gretel must get what she wants before the secret room is opened by Ginny.
Even if he didn't gain anything from the notebook in the end, he had to do it just to have a stable second grade.
The distance between the teaching building and the greenhouse is quite far. In order to block Ginny, Gretel even took the time to cast an acceleration spell on himself.
Fortunately Filch was not here, otherwise he would be happy that he had found another opportunity to punish Gretel.
——
It can be said that Ginny Weasley has been beautiful since she was a child to become the wife of Harry Potter.
Combining all the advantages of Arthur Weasley and Molly Weasley, she is indeed the most conspicuous among the freshmen, like a little princess.
When Gretel saw her, she was leaving the greenhouse surrounded by a group of people.
The classes for the first-year wizards were not heavy, and Gretel heard them say that they wanted to spend the rest of the day exploring the mysterious Hogwarts.
The same thing happened to Gretel and others when they were in first grade, and Terry was the best among them.
Even in the second grade, he still enjoys this activity.
When Gretel stopped Ginny and her group, in order not to appear presumptuous, Gretel used Ron as a shield.
"Ginny Weasley, hello, my name is Mike Gretel, I'm Ron's friend. Can you please lend me a moment?"
Gretel thought that his self-introduction was quite decent, but he never thought that he would see a hint of doubt on Ginny Weasley's face.
Although his correspondence with Ron was not frequent, it was not infrequent either.
Ginny Weasley must have heard Ron talk about him!
Ginny had of course heard Gretel's name from Ron, and he was mentioned even more often than Harry.
However, every time Ron talked about Gretel, Ginny could always hear Ron complaining.
He either complains that Harry always wants to be friends with Gretel, or complains that his mind is not as smart as Gretel.
How could such a person be friends with her idiot brother?
Ron always said that Harry wanted to make friends with knowledgeable people, which made Ginny determined to become the best little wizard of their level.
As the little princess of the Weasley family, she must stand on the same side as her brother.
"Sorry, I have to explore Hogwarts with my classmates now. If Mr. Gretel has anything, you can tell Brother Ron in person.
