Chapter 205: Do You Want to Be as Strong as Me?
Chapter 205: Do You Want to Be as Strong as Me?
Professor Mcgonagall looked at the unconscious Lockhart, feeling utterly disappointed.
While she had always thought Lockhart was a vain and mediocre cheat, she hadn't expected that as a professor, he would be unable to control a group of young wizards.
Professor Mcgonagall sighed, waving her wand to summon a basin of water and pour it over Lockhart's face, hoping to wake him up. However, Lockhart remained motionless, showing no reaction at all.
Ivan, who was watching from the side, had a peculiar expression on his face, with a hint of suspicion.
Professor Mcgonagall's face darkened even more, but she didn't say anything. She directly used a levitation charm to lift the injured young wizards and prepared to take them to the Hospital Wing.
However, since there were so many injured, Professor Mcgonagall turned to Ivan and said,
"You take the rest of the people, and Professor Lockhart!"
Ivan nodded and used the levitation charm in sync, carrying the remaining people away.
"As for you!" Before leaving, Mcgonagall looked at the group of Gryffindor young wizards, pointing to the mess around them, and said,
"I give you one hour to clean this place up! And you are not allowed to use cleaning magic!"
Wood and the others were already anxious about the points they had lost. Now, hearing that they had to clean such a large Quidditch field within an hour without using magic, they let out a chorus of groans.
George and Fred were on the verge of breaking down.
They knew all too well that the large fecal eggs they had created not only smelled terrible but were also difficult to remove. There was no way they could clean it up in such a short time.
But Professor Mcgonagall didn't care about that. If she returned and the field wasn't clean, the punishment would be far more severe.
The Slytherin House students also didn't have it easy, as Mcgonagall ordered them to stay and clean as well.
As for how many House Points Slytherin would lose for this brawl, that would be decided by their Head of House, Professor Snape.
Ivan felt somewhat relieved that he didn't have to stay and clean up the mess. Instead, he could follow Professor Mcgonagall to transport the injured students who couldn't move to the Hospital Wing.
In the Hospital Wing, Madam Pomfrey had just settled a patient when she turned around and saw Ivan and Mcgonagall using the levitation charm to bring in several young wizards, with Lockhart floating prominently at the front.
"Goodness, what on earth happened? Was there an attack on campus? Even Professor Lockhart is injured?" Madam Pomfrey hurried over, directing Ivan to place the patients on the available beds.
"No, it was just a fight among the students watching the game. As for Professor Lockhart, he might just be tired and wants to rest." Professor Mcgonagall shook her head.
Madam Pomfrey, skilled in healing, quickly saw through Lockhart's act of feigning unconsciousness and gave him a disdainful look as he lay on the bed.
She then moved to check the injuries of the young wizards, finding that they were all superficial and could be treated with simple healing spells. Madam Pomfrey breathed a sigh of relief.
"Madam Pomfrey, where is Harry?" Ivan asked.
"I've almost finished treating Potter's injuries. He is still unconscious, but I think he should wake up after a few hours of sleep." Madam Pomfrey explained kindly before attending to the other patients.
Professor Mcgonagall did not stay long. After escorting the injured young witches and wizards to the Hospital Wing, she turned and left without even calling out to Ivan.
Perhaps she thought Ivan wanted to stay and keep his friends company.
Ivan walked over to Harry's bed, looking at the still unconscious Harry. He felt that Dobby had been quite ruthless.
If the rogue Bludgers and Quaffle had been a bit more off target, they might have hit Harry's head directly.
However, as a House-elf, Dobby could easily use magic similar to Apparition within Hogwarts, making it difficult to catch him.
Let Dumbledore worry about it.
Ivan shook his head, thinking that after this attack, Dumbledore would definitely talk to Harry. Then the old headmaster would know that a House-elf was causing trouble in the school, so there was no need for him to worry about it.
Just as Ivan was about to leave, Lockhart, who was lying on the adjacent bed, slowly raised his head and "woke up."
"What happened? Why am I in the Hospital Wing? Hals, can you tell me what happened just now?" Lockhart asked, looking bewildered.
Ivan paused in his steps and watched the performance quietly.
However, Ivan did not expect Lockhart to "wake up" at this moment. He kept guessing the reason in his mind while calmly responding.
"Professor Lockhart, you were probably knocked unconscious on the Quidditch field."
"Is that so?" Lockhart looked as if he had just realized something, but his eyes kept glancing at the ring and bracelet on Ivan's hand. He asked casually.
"I saw you on the Quidditch field earlier, using an Armor Charm without casting a spell. Is that because of some magical artifact on your hand?"
Ivan looked at Lockhart with a knowing smile, understanding what the other man was after. He spoke frankly.
"Yes, these magical artifacts were made by me using many precious materials. For example, this Protective Ring can instantly cast a spell similar to an Armor Charm just by channeling magic through it."
Ivan enthusiastically explained the effects of the Protective Ring to Lockhart.
Lockhart was very interested. The chaos on the Quidditch field had greatly damaged his reputation. Now, he desperately needed to do something to restore his reputation, such as demonstrating his "outstanding" skills in public.
However, Lockhart still had some self-awareness. He knew that over the years, he had focused on gaining fame and glory, neglecting his magical practice.
As a result, when he needed to use magic, he found that even casting a few simple spells could go wrong or go out of control.
At this level, it would be difficult to prove his abilities without embarrassing himself.
So, when Lockhart saw Ivan using magical artifacts to steal the spotlight on the Quidditch field, he immediately had some ideas.
"How about it, Professor? Want to buy a Protective Ring? I can make a luxurious gold-embellished version for you", Ivan tempted him.
In Ivan's mind, Lockhart was a millionaire among millionaires.
Not to mention, when he took up the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, Lockhart forced all the students to buy his best-selling books, earning him thousands of Galleons.
His ability to make money was simply explosive!
