Chapter 33: Lockhart's Gift
Lockhart fumbled with the bag and pulled out a beautifully packaged box from inside.
"Principal, this is the SuperSmile whitening toothpaste I endorse.
This toothpaste was invented by Mr. Smieg, a famous American potions master.
It rejects the silica sand ingredient commonly used in traditional whitening toothpastes and adopts a milder emerging ingredient, with the addition of saliva from colored ballfish.
This helps the tooth enamel to protect the tooth, like adding a protective film to the tooth! ”
Lockhart smiled, the eight teeth glowing in the light of the auditorium candles, looking unusually white.
"The newspaper says that you like to cheat the little wizard about snacks, and after using them, you will definitely keep a good mouthful of teeth.
If you want to buy it in the future, you can contact me, and I will give you a 95% discount. ”
Lockhart began to advertise.
Dumbledore happily took it.
Lockhart pulled out another magazine, showed the cover to all the students, and said aloud:
"This is the latest Women's Outfit, with my photo on the cover, for Hufflepuff Dean Professor Sprout.
You can take it back at night, hide in the quilt alone and peek at it, it is the most effective way to kill loneliness, and I will never leave in the photo. ”
Lockhart blinked.
Professor Sprout's face turned the color of pig liver.
I had just heard Snape say that the beating willow was damaged, and her face was not so ugly.
Lockhart looked at Professor McGonagall again.
McGonagall clutched her wand, and if Lockhart dared to give her a book like this, or something like a photograph, she would turn him into a peacock!
Even if you are imprisoned in Azkaban because of this!
But instead of delivering the book, Lockhart was holding a golden trophy.
"Professor McGonagall, I know you love Quidditch. Last year, Gryffindor didn't win the Quidditch Cup, and you must have had a hard time.
But it doesn't matter.
While I was chasing an inmate at Asunción Prison in Paraguay, there was an indoor Quidditch tournament in the prison.
In the end, I scored five goals and provided six assists to help the team win the championship.
This is the 'Golden Prisoner Award' trophy, I give it to you, cherish it! ”
Professor McGonagall's hands trembled with anger.
Who is there to be in this room?
I just don't want to win the big Gryffindor!
Lockhart turned his gaze back to Professor Flitwick.
"Professor Flitwick, this is my endorsement of the height-booster shoes, which I have given to you, which can make you more confident in the blind date market.
I know, you've been drinking a lot of height boosters, and it's the perfect solution to your problem, you lucky old guy! ”
Professor Flitwick buried his face in his hands and didn't pick up the pink heels.
Lockhart finally looked at Professor Snape.
He laughed and said, "Snape, you're going to be pleasantly surprised!" My gift to you is the shampoo I invented.
The yolk of the bird snake egg is used as the main ingredient here, which can lock in the shine and make your hair no longer greasy.
As you know, my secret ambition is to rid the world of evil, and to sell my own line of hair lotions, which I have written about in several of my books...... You will be my loyal customer. ”
Cho looked at Lockhart in disbelief. "Oh, Merlin, what is he doing?"
William trembled with laughter, unexpectedly Lockhart had offended the deans of the four houses in just a few minutes.
Amazing Lockhart.
Wait a minute......
Bird snake eggs?
Bird and snake eggs, like psychedelic mushrooms, are also one of the important ingredients of the elixir, and they are expensive.
William could ask for some shampoo to extract the ingredients from the bird and snake eggs inside.
Isn't this the money for the birds' and snake's eggs?
William is a genius!
Looks like he's going to need to settle down with Professor Lockhart and get a wave of wool.
After Lockhart sent the gifts, the atmosphere was a little delicate, and everyone ate again.
When the dinner was over, Dumbledore cleared his throat and stood up.
"Oh, now that everyone is full and drunk, I want to say a few more words to everyone."
"First-year students are aware that students are not allowed to enter the Forbidden Forest, nor are they allowed to approach the beating willows near the greenhouse.
I just received information that our precious trees have been destroyed by some students, and the college will punish them accordingly. ”
Snape sneered, and Professor McGonagall was embarrassed.
"It's a pleasure," Dumbledore continued, "this year, I'm delighted to welcome a new teacher to our team.
You've just seen it—Professor Lockhart!
He graciously agreed to fill the void in Defence Against the Dark Arts, and I was pleased with the fearless dedication. ”
There was enthusiastic applause in the auditorium, Lockhart was famous, he was very handsome, and he did have many fans.
But the professors were very cold, and almost no one welcomed him.
"Well, it's time for the school song of the year!" Dumbledore said happily.
Professor Dumbledore stood at the podium and acted as the conductor of music.
Tonight's performance style has changed again, no longer Ravenclaw College performs alone, but students from four colleges sing together.
Ms. Gray also did not act as a lead singer, but danced with a group of witches.
All the witches of the seventh year were inside, and they were led by Ms. Gray and danced to the song.
These students are about to graduate and really need to leave a warm and wonderful campus memory.
William was delighted with the change, and the slight changes he made last year made the Hogwarts anthem even more exciting.
"I didn't realize that there are so many beautiful seniors in our school."
While singing, William secretly deserted.
Qiu looked at the seventh-grade witches and said softly, "It's all a group of old aunts." ”
William couldn't help but laugh, seventeen years old can indeed be called an old aunt for a witch of twelve or thirteen years old.
But having said that, the latter is nothing compared to the former.
William turned his gaze back to Ms. Gray.
It was the first time he had seen the usual cold Lady Gray so happy.
"Have you noticed that Barrow, the ghost of Slytherin, has been keeping his eyes on Lady Grey?" Autumn whispered. "He seems to like her."
William nodded, he did observe this, after all, the eyes were not deceiving.
"By the way, you're sure Lady Gray is a ghost from the Ravenclaw era."
Cho said seriously: "Yes, she said that we sang this tune, which was composed by Ravenclaw himself, and it was also the school song of that era. ”
"And did she mention the Ravenclaw crown?" William asked again.
"Nope." Autumn shook her head.
Ever since William got the Ravenclaw ring, they have not given up on finding the Ravenclaw crown and the Hufflepuff Gold Cup.
The only clue at the moment is Ms. Gray.
While rehearsing the song, she inadvertently admits that she is a witch from the age of the Big Four.
But Ms. Gray had always been cold, and few people could approach her, let alone chat.
Do you want to start with Barrow the Bloody?
After all, he looks a lot like a licking dog.
Licking the dog,
It's always easy to deal with.
Even if he's dead.
But the spirit lives on.
