Chapter 037 EmbroideryProfessor

There are seven classes in the first and second years of Hogwarts, each of which lasts two or three times a week, with an average of three lessons per day, including astronomy classes in the evenings, and the seven main professors teach a total of fourteen classes, with five to seven classes a day.

So although Catherine had no classes in the afternoon, Professor Flitwick had two classes in the afternoon, and when the bell rang for the afternoon class, she had to say goodbye to her, and when she went downstairs to look up the library, she was surprised to see Harry being held tightly by Lockhart's shoulders.

"What's going on?" Katherine asked Hermione, who had fallen a long distance behind them, in confusion.

"It's not Malfoy yet!" Ron yelled angrily, and was stopped by the brown-haired girl.

It turned out that there was a Muggle-born first-year student who was so obsessed with Harry that he wanted to take a picture of him and send it to his father, but when he asked Harry if he could sign the photo, Draco overheard him, and the two of them quarreled.

"Thankfully, Professor Lockhart showed up in time, and he defused Harry's embarrassment in time and kept Malfoy in hiding." Hermione's eyes lit up.

Leaving the other two looking at each other, Catherine couldn't help but look back at Harry, once again making sure that he was still in an embarrassing situation, while Ron circled around Hermione, wondering if the girl in front of her was the "jack of all trades" she was familiar with.

The class bell rang again, Hermione hurriedly said goodbye to her friends, and ran into the classroom with Ron stepping on the bell, Catherine looked at their vanishing figures, shook her head and headed to the library.

Time flies when he's busy, and when Hermione arrives at the library and sits down across from her friend, Catherine realizes that it's been a long time since the bell rang.

"Harry and Ron are so disgusting, they actually slander Professor Lockhart." The brown-haired girl crackles and accuses her two classmates and friends.

Catherine looked up and listened intently to Hermione's account of Lockhart's first Defence Against the Dark Arts lesson, and he spent most of the class having students complete a test paper about what they knew about Lockhart himself, and then he released a large cage of Cornwall elves, making a mess of the entire classroom, and finally even ran away first, leaving Harry and the three of them to clean up the mess.

Looking at Hermione, who was still chattering about Lockhart's defense, Catherine was convinced that the "Lockhart-obsessed drug" she had already absorbed had gone deep into her bones, and she had now completely lost her mind.

Hermione's whispering was not forced to stop until dinner began, and Catherine was glad she had an astronomy lesson in the evening, otherwise she would have had to listen to her continue to nag Harry and Ron.

"Why are you using my godfather's wand?" With Draco's familiarity with Snape, how could he not recognize whose wand she was using in her Charms class, but Catherine continued to run to ask questions after class, and then disappeared until dinner.

"My wand broke yesterday." Catherine looked down at the stars in the telescope and replied in a low voice.

"I think it should be the third one, right?" Draco asked incredulously.

"Hopefully I'll find one more durable on Sunday." Catherine drew on the parchment the astrological chart she had just seen, and her tone was very helpless.

"You're going to break a few more!" Draco raised his voice suddenly, immediately drawing Professor Sinista's attention, and he hurried back to his telescope, pretending to be a serious observer.

"Only Heaven knows." Catherine looked up at the starry sky.

The next morning, Snape asked her to inform Draco that they had been given him to train Occlumency from that night, causing Catherine to complain again about the lack of time, and Lockhart's behavior in the first lesson of the day annoyed her.

When Lockhart distributes the "questionnaire", Catherine is tempted to throw it away, but her habit of respecting teachers and teaching prevents her from doing so, and thinking of a wrong answer is a waste of her own empty time, and in the end she can only fill in the correct answer quickly and then do what she has to do.

"It's incredible!" Lockhart, who found out that Catherine didn't do the questions seriously, was about to reprimand her, but he found that he couldn't find the slightest fault in her test papers, "One hundred points!" 100 points without a doubt! I really didn't expect the Hogwarts students to be so high, I only took the second class, and I found two students with perfect scores, which is really-"

"I just can't forget it." Catherine interjected very calmly, choking Lockhart's admiration beyond words.

He glared at Catherine with an ugly face, trying to sarcastically say something to her, and when he realized that he couldn't understand what she was doing, he could only shake his hand away in a huff.

Seeing this, Draco immediately exchanged a few glances with the surrounding Slytherins, and when Lockhart put away the test paper and began to comment, he suddenly raised his hand to ask.

"Professor Lockhart, may I ask what magical principles you used to exorcise Wanlun's female ghost?"

Lockhart froze, as if he hadn't thought of the question, and he gave a bright smile and thought quickly about how to answer, but the students didn't give him the time.

Draco's start was like a signal, Blaise, Pansy, Theodore, Daphne, Millicent all raised their hands to ask questions, and even Crabbe and Goyle asked two food-related questions each, and the Ravenclaw students who were in the same class were immediately ignited by their desire to learn, and they all raised their hands to ask their doubts, but the questions caused by their divergent thinking really made it difficult to understand what it had to do with Lockhart.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please be quiet!" Lockhart had to shout loudly to stop the noise in the classroom, "These are very simple questions, and I would like to ask Miss Princes to answer them." ”

The other Slytherin students despised Lockhart's shamelessness, they didn't expect him to dare to ask students to answer, and what they didn't expect was Catherine's sudden change of attitude.

If you can't answer even such a simple question, what can you teach us? Lockhart - Professor! Catherine looked up and glared at Lockhart with a very cold gaze.

Lockhart shuddered hard and began to say the cliché he had prepared in the morning: "My mission is to teach you to defend against the most evil thing the wizarding world has to know!" You will face the most terrifying things in this classroom. But remember, as long as I'm here, you'll not be harmed—"

"Like a Cornwall elf!" Draco interjected with a sneer, and the students burst into laughter.

Lockhart's face was blue and red, his mouth opened and closed and opened, and he didn't know how to respond for a long time, what happened yesterday afternoon spread throughout Hogwarts in less than an hour, and after a night of fermentation, multiple versions of the rumor had been generated.

“XiuHuaZhenTou！” Catherine dropped the sentence, put away her things, and left the classroom, leaving behind Lockhart's seven books.

Everyone was confused, not knowing what Catherine was scolding, and Slytherin looked at Draco, who hesitated for a moment before speaking, "It seems to be Chinese, but I haven't learned it." ”

The hearts of the people were like eating fifteen rats in one bite, and they were very uncomfortable, and they wanted to run out at once to find out what it meant, and no one paid any attention to Lockhart, which made him very happy and very uncomfortable.

A best-selling author and a flattering heartthrob, Lockhart couldn't stand being left out in the cold, but his usual tricks didn't work well against sane Slytherins and crazy Ravenclaws, even though they were just a bunch of twelve-year-olds.

Therefore, when the bell of the next class came in anticipation of everyone's great anticipation, the whole classroom was cleared with a "boom", leaving Lockhart alone to stand behind the podium, and a gust of wind blew, blowing up the stack of test papers, as if mocking his narcissism mercilessly.

When she figured out what Catherine was talking about, "Embroidery-Professor" became Lockhart's new nickname, and it quickly became popular throughout Hogwarts, so much so that the ill-informed Professor Trelawney thought that he really knew Chinese embroidery, and asked him for advice with great admiration, so angry that Lockhart's face turned blue on the spot.

This also made the others understand that Catherine did not have an ordinary dislike for the family name "Prince", and they couldn't help but keep it in their hearts, so as not to inadvertently offend this powerful girl.

Catherine didn't have time to pay attention to the careful thinking of others, and the Occlumency class completely tossed away what little energy she had left.

The first lesson of Occlumency is about extracting memories, because training Occlumency requires the use of a Dementor Charm, which is a magic that can check other people's memories, and everyone has things they don't want others to know, so they need to learn how to extract these memories first.

There are two ways to extract memories, one is copying, the other is cutting, the former only needs a vague impression to extract a clear memory, and the latter in order to make the person completely forget, so the process of extraction needs clear recall, and it is the latter method that is needed to practice brain occlusion, but this is by no means a pleasant process.

Draco was better, after all, he didn't want Snape to know that he accidentally broke his godfather or something, although Snape actually guessed these things, he still didn't want to give his godfather an excuse to punish him, so he had to relive the process of worrying once a day.

Catherine was miserable in comparison, because the things she didn't want Snape to know, except for the prophecies related to Harry and Dobby's recent actions, were basically bad things that happened when she was in the Princes, and according to her memories of the first time she went to 17 Spider's Tail Alley, she had no doubt that when Snape knew about these things, he would immediately run to the people and things related to him to settle accounts, so Catherine could only look back over and over again about these experiences that she wished they had never happened.

Snape also needed to do this first because of the possible backlash during training, and Catherine suspected that its content had something to do with Lily, and it was obviously the most painful memory for him, and each time it completely lost all vitality to his already pale and bloodless face.

The first time she saw Snape's disillusioned appearance, Catherine was so frightened that she ran to him in a panic and called out, but she could not get a response from him, and it was not until she hugged him in fear that he finally came to his senses.
