The Spell instantly cut the door in front of Lockhart, causing him to freeze for a few seconds.
Immediately after, he looked fiercely at the direction from which the spell came and just happened to meet Lucas' cold eyes.
He quickly put away his fierce expression, but it was too late.
At the same time, without the barrier of the door.
The Red Caps threw the wooden pieces of furniture they tore at Lockhart one after another.
"ah!"
A piece of wood pierced his leg making him cry out in pain as he bled heavily.
Seeing their prey fall to the ground, the monsters surrounded him and started beating him with their makeshift weapons.
Lockhart screamed and covered his handsome face with his hands.
As a result, his hands were attacked by several wooden weapons, breaking a couple fingers.
Ron, who was hiding behind a desk, drew out his wand and planned to fight back, imagining the impact his heroic act would have in the great hall later, he gave up the target in front of him, but pointed his wand at the farthest Red Cap.
And this Red Cap just happened to be closer to the Slytherin students in case he missed it might hit one of them.
The corner of Ron's mouth twitched slightly, and then he said a spell quickly.
"Petrificus Totalus!"
A ray of light flashed, and the magic spell reversed the output and knocked Ron into the air.
Seeing the misery of his friend, Harry hurried over to help.
It's been so long but the professors hadn't arrived yet.
Lucas, who at first didn't intend to continue showing off, had to point his wand at the fish tank in the classroom.
Watching the Red Caps beating Lockhart half to death and some cornered students who couldn't hold their attackers back anymore.
Lucas controlled the water to float in mid-air.
With the magic wand drawing circles in the air, every time he drew more circles, the water flow in the air would grow stronger and increase the amount at the same time.
This is another usage of Transfiguration and the effect is faster than "aguamenti".
Almost in the blink of an eye, the water in the fish tank covered the ceiling of the classroom.
Lucas flicked his wand again making the water flow violently and disperse into dozens of water streams.
The water mass caught the Red Caps around the room at an extremely fast speed, even the ones pummeling Lockhart, even though he was tempted to let them kill the useless ponce.
Lucas held up his free left hand.
Both hands released the magic power at the same time, and the water streams regrouped into a big water ball with all the creatures trapped in it.
Waiting until he's done with everything, the professors were long overdue.
Running at the forefront are Professor Snape and Professor McGonagall.
God knows how anxious the two of them were when they learned that there were Red Caps running free in the school.
But looking at the huge water ball in midair. After a brief moment of surprise, the two looked at Lucas standing under the water ball.
"Oh~ what superb elemental transfiguration, thank you Lucas, you protected the students from the danger, I think I should add 20 points to Slytherin."
Dumbledore's words sounded, successfully breaking the silence in the classroom.
"Merlin, why did the stupid Lockhart bring those things into the school? I must write a letter to tell my father."
"Mr Grindelwald, thank you for saving us again, Merlin's beard, it was a terrible day."
"Didn't Professor Lockhart say that you can rest assured with him present?"
Mentioning Lockhart, everyone immediately turned to the office.
Professor Snape walked in with a sullen face.
After a while, he came out again with a strange expression.
It wasn't until Lockhart was brought out floating behind him that everyone discovered that he was all black and blue, full of wounds and bleeding all over, with a piece of wood stuck in his leg.
"It's terrible, send him to the infirmary!"
Professor Flitwick took over and left with the floating Lockhart.
Dumbledore only checked on the students.
He looked first at his golden boy and seeing that he was not injured, he was immediately relieved.
Looking around for a bit, Dumbledore and the professors finally turned to Lucas who was standing by the window.
Looking at the students in both houses, almost half of Gryffindor were injured.
It's just that the injury is not serious.
Although the remaining half was not hit directly, dodging around still caused some small cuts and bruises.
But none of the Slytherin students were hurt except for their messy robes, which seemed unbelievable to the professors.
They all thought that Lucas took action to protect everyone.
But seeing their looks Lucas said: "I just used the final spell, and if everyone from Slytherin is unhurt, it was just the result of helping and protecting each other.
Dumbledore looked at the little snakes in surprise.
Seeing the confidence and pride in everyone's eyes, Dumbledore said with a smile: "I see a rare quality in you."
"It might get you through difficulties in the future, please keep it up, and I'll end this by saying Slytherin plus 10 points for your outstanding performance."
They all clapped each other in the back excitedly, even the corners of Professor Snape's mouth turned up slightly.
Of course, if you don't observe carefully, it is not easy to find.
The farce was over and the school infirmary was full of Gryffindor students. As for Lockhart, he was sent directly to St. Mungo's.
When students from the other two houses heard about the incident, those obsessed with Lockhart finally woke up.
After all, when they have to choose between worshiping idols and their own life, these people will definitely choose their own lives.
Because of this incident, Hermione and Cho ran directly to the long table in Slytherin during dinner.
Seeing the concerned eyes of the two women, several chiefs immediately took the lead in making teasing remarks.
…
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye the first week of school passed.
What Lucas did most this week was to stroll around in the Forbidden Forest, which brought him generous achievement points.
For a week, the Forbidden Forest alone provided him with 4000 achievement points.
Today, the afternoon's history of magic class ended.
Lucas didn't look for Hermione or Cho Chang, nor did he go back to the dormitory with the Slytherin snakes.
Instead, he went outside of the castle and stood on the path leading to the black lake.
Lucas was waiting for someone, after observing for a few days, he found that Ginny Weasley would go to the Black Lake to walk around every afternoon.
Checking the time, she must probably be coming by now.
The next moment, the sound of light footsteps came from a distance.
"Ouch!"
With her head down, Ginny felt as if she had hit a soft wall and fell to the ground.
When she raised her head, she actually saw Lucas Grindelwald standing in front of her.
Ginny shook her head, thinking that in her daze she was imagining things.
"You, you, why are you here?"
Lucas didn't answer the question. Instead, he squatted down and picked up the book that fell on the ground.
"Why do you drop your things every time we meet?"
Ginny quickly stood up from the ground and when she took the book from Lucas, she didn't find that there was an extra black diary inside.
"Thanks!"
After Ginny thanked him, she planned to leave.
"Wait." Lucas stopped her and reached out to remove the leaves from Ginny's hair.
When he looked at Ginny again, her eyes had become dull, and she was staring straight ahead.
"Ginny, if you have any troubles when you go back, remember to use that diary."
Ginny, who was controlled by the Imperius Curse, nodded slowly.
Lucas smiled, and pointed his fingers between her eyebrows.
If an outsider sees it, they will only think that the two are acting intimately.
"Obliviate!"
With a smile on his face, Lucas erased the memory of Ginny's meeting with him just now.
That way, Ginny wouldn't remember seeing him in the corridor.
With everything done Lucas walked towards the castle without looking back, and it wasn't until his figure completely disappeared that Ginny came back to her senses.
"Why am I here?"
Looking at the book in her hand, Ginny shrugged her shoulders and continued walking towards the Black Lake.
Lucas was on his way back to Slytherin, checking his mind for any mistakes.
The Imperius Curse he cast will stop tomorrow morning.
Under the influence and control of the Imperius Curse, Ginny will definitely use the diary tonight.
As long as she uses it, she cannot escape the fate of being controlled by the diary.
As for whether it was cruel to Ginny, Lucas can answer with certainty that it was indeed cruel.
He actually liked that little girl quite a bit, but he wouldn't let something like this affect his plan.
'For the greater good!'
Walking to the door of the Slytherin dormitory, Lucas restrained the coldness in his eyes.
When the door opened, he turned back to the good student who was very nice in the eyes of everyone.
In the dead of night, Hogwarts Castle seemed to be turned off and even the portraits that can be seen everywhere have fallen asleep.
At the Slytherin dormitory Lucas sat cross-legged on the bed, looked at the achievement points in the system and said, "System, I will try my luck with a hundred consecutive draws."
He just couldn't resist the allure of gacha. When his voice sounded, the prize pool immediately appeared in front of his eyes.
In just the blink of an eye, various rewards flew out of the prize pool.
[At the end of this lottery draw, a total of 42 bronze rewards, 40 silver rewards, 16 gold rewards, and 2 platinum rewards were obtained.]
"There are two platinum rewards, is my luck so good?"
Lucas immediately opened the detailed introduction of this lottery.
[The bronze rewards for this lottery are as follows: 11 prizes of Golden Galleons, total amount: 815; Book "Magic Your Cheese"; 3 sets of signed team uniforms of the Holyhead Harpies; 18 kinds of honeydukes candies; 2 bludgers; 2 bags of high-quality owl rations; 3 bottles of owl feather care cream; 2 pairs of wool socks.]
