Chapter 81 Dumbledore's Secret Lesson This was different from the charlatan image that Lockhart had just displayed. The level of his teaching is still as bad as ever. The so-called teaching of dark magic is to capture a group of Cornish elves and let the students deal with them. These elves were making trouble everywhere in the classroom, and Lockhart was helpless. Finally, Bruce stepped in to stop the farce. "Good job! I remember your name is - Wayne, right?" After all the elves were put back into their cages, Lockhart, with his hair in a mess, spoke to Bruce. "You did a great job, and you have some of my style. Hufflepuff will get ten points for you." …… After the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Bruce became firm in his thinking.
"You can't learn anything from Lockhart!" He said to Katum, “You said he could teach me how to make up a persona, but a persona without the strength to support it cannot be maintained. "Dumbledore is getting old and confused. He lets any teacher into the school!" Speaking of Dumbledore, Bruce suddenly remembered that he had made an agreement with Dumbledore last school year. Learn something from Dumbledore every week. I don't know if it counts, but if Lockhart isn't capable, he should just go over and take on the old man. With this thought in mind, Bruce went to the principal's office after finishing his afternoon herbal medicine class. It’s still the same ugly stone beast, but the password has changed for the second year. But obviously Dumbledore guessed that Bruce would come, and he left an answer for Bruce in a portrait beside the passage. "Lemon ice cream!" When Bruce entered the Headmaster's office, Dumbledore was there. "Oh, Bruce, I was just thinking that you should be here soon." Dumbledore laughed, "The time I spent waiting for you just now reminded me of the time when I first came to teach at Hogwarts." "Mr. Principal." Bruce greeted, not knowing what to say for a moment. "Don't be so restrained. You can sit anywhere you want when you come to this office from now on." Dumbledore said, "I have carefully arranged several courses. I believe you will not feel that your trip is in vain." Bruce sat in his chair and listened to the principal continue. "Before I became the principal, I was a Transfiguration teacher. I am somewhat confident in Transfiguration."
Dumbledore looked at Bruce quietly through his half-moon eyes. "Bruce, are you interested in becoming an Animagus?" Animagus is a wizard who can transform into an animal. For example, Professor McGonagall can turn into a cat. Bruce thought for a moment and asked, "Can I turn into a giant squid like Gryffindor?" "Well, that's not going to work." Dumbledore shook his head and said, “Mr. Gryffindor transformed into a magical creature, strictly speaking, he should be called Mythmagus. "This kind of magic is too difficult for you. In the known wizarding world today, only Mr. Gryffindor has mastered this magic." What is the known magical world? Does that mean there are more out there in places that people don’t know about? Bruce had a feeling that Dumbledore was almost Mythmagus, if not quite. He nodded and didn't force it any further. More haste, less speed. No matter how powerful Mythmagus is, he still has to learn the most basic transformation. "The second course I prepared for you is a spell called the Patronus Charm." Dumbledore introduced, “This is the oldest and most powerful defensive spell in the wizarding world. It can dispel evil and can also protect in disguise. "And this spell still has many secrets that we haven't solved yet." After that, Dumbledore motioned for Bruce to make a choice. Which class to start first? Bruce thought for a moment and gave an answer: "I want to learn the Patronus Charm first, Mr. Principal." “Very thoughtful choice!” Dumbledore praised, "In that case, let's start this Sunday. I am also very curious about what kind of patronus you will have." It should be a bat, Bruce thought. After agreeing on a time with Dumbledore, he left the headmaster's office. Bruce was actually not very satisfied with this trip. "I want to learn offensive spells, such as Dumbledore's famous Vulcan spell." Bruce said to the owl, "But the principal doesn't seem to be willing to teach me. He only wants to teach me Transfiguration and Defense." What good would this do? Bruce thought about the time when he faced Deathstroke. In that situation, he couldn't even break the opponent's defense. If he had a powerful enough magic at that time, he wouldn't be so passive. The Animagus and the Patronus Charm obviously cannot help turning the situation around. "Don't be so picky, Bruce."
Katum said, "Whether it's a spell or magic, a lot of the time it depends on how you use it." That was all he had to say, and he didn't say any more. Bruce actually has this shortcoming: he is very smart and logical, but his imagination is not very good. Katoom remembered that in the comics, Batman wore a yellow lantern ring that gave him the power to turn imagination into reality. But in the end, Batman only knew how to release a few broken bats, and his moves had no creativity at all. "But I can understand your desire to learn powerful spells." The owl said to Bruce, "In fact, I have already planned it out. I guarantee that Dumbledore will explode with gold coins!" "really?" Bruce was delighted that Katum really cared about him. The owl certainly thought of him. Whatever Bruce learns, he gets back tenfold. This also means that Katum's motivation is ten times stronger than Bruce's. They walked towards the steps of the hall, one man and one bird. At this moment, Bruce suddenly heard a very strange sound. It felt like someone was talking in his ear, a man and a woman, they were talking and laughing. But when Bruce calmed down and listened, the sound disappeared again. "Bruce, what's wrong?" Katum noticed that something was wrong with Bruce, and he said with unprecedented seriousness, "Why are you crying!?" "what?" Bruce touched his face and two lines of tears flowed down without him noticing. He cried! "I don't know!" Bruce's voice was trembling. "I just heard someone talking. The voice was very familiar. I've heard it before. But when I wanted to know who it was, my mind seemed to be blocked by a veil. I couldn't figure out anything!" sound? Katoom frowned, the second year heard the voice, wasn't that a scene from Harry Potter? And that was the sound of the Basilisk, which was killed by Dumbledore after Slytherin left last school year. The bodies were taken away. Then, just then, a scream was heard in the distance. Katum and Bruce looked at each other and quickly ran towards the direction of the sound. When we got there, there was already a circle of people surrounding it and we couldn't squeeze in at all.
All I could see was a line of words written on the wall: "Ravenclaw's Chamber of Secrets has been opened." (End of this chapter)
