That night, William keenly noticed that something seemed wrong in the atmosphere in the Great Hall.

"Terry, what's wrong? Why is the atmosphere so weird tonight? He asked Terry, who was sitting at the Ravenclaw table.

"You're here, William. You may not know it, but today the Gryffindor and Hufflepuff students in our year were in Lockhart's Defence Against the Dark Arts class. After Terry greeted William, he said to William.

"Oh? So what's wrong? William had already guessed something, but his face still maintained that curiosity about the unknown.

After the exercise of the last semester, the current William can also be called an old drama bone.

"I heard that Lockhart made a mess of that lesson, and he didn't know where he got a bunch of Cornwall elves." The well-informed Terry always had access to this first-hand information.

Cornwall elves?

It's those iron-blue little tricksters?

William also knew something about the creatures, and they had a very bad personality, like Peeves. However, they have something more terrifying than Peeves.

They move in droves!

And despite the small size of these elves, their strength is not small, and a few elves can work together to lift an adult wizard.

Although they do not have wings, they can fly freely in the air, and they don't know what the magic principle is.

"And then?" William held back a smile and asked, having guessed what Lockhart's critic was going to do.

"And then? Then he released the group of elves from the cage. The corners of Terry's mouth rose wildly as he said this.

"I've heard that these elves have made a mess of the whole classroom, and that little chubby guy in Gryffindor was caught in the sky by the elves! Lockhart: He's really good at playing! Terry finally burst out laughing.

"Actually, I'm even a little skeptical that Lockhart can handle this group of elves, and from what you've described, he seems to be nowhere near as good as he is in his own book." William nodded a little bit at Terry.

Not even a group of elves can deal with it, which is simply a shame for the wizarding world.

However, he didn't directly say that Lockhart was unreliable, and he didn't see that Sally Dupin didn't talk to William now.

The little girl really thought that William was jealous of Lockhart.

Before his ugly face was revealed, Lockhart was very popular among the girls at Hogwarts.

I don't know what happened to those elves, William thought with some curiosity.

If you can get your hands on it, you might be able to figure out the secret to their ability to fly without wings.

Through an inhumane way of research.

"Yes, I also think there's something wrong with Lockhart right now." A voice sounded behind the two men, and William looked up to see that it was Penelope.

Penelope's face was full of exhaustion, she was about to graduate, and she was about to face the pressure of studying for the wizard level exam, which, combined with the heavy work of the prefect, made the girl look a lot haggard.

"Ravenclaw's upperclassmen are also taking Lockhart's Defence Against the Dark Arts class today." She sat down next to William, took a plate of sausages, and talked to William as she ate.

"The result?"

"What a mess! Although Lockhart didn't release any elves, he didn't talk about a single point of knowledge in the whole class! It's been talking about his books and his damn personal hobbies.

Met Merlin's ghost! Who cares what the birthday present he wants to receive is! What we care about is the ultimate wizard exam, you damn bastard! ”

Penelope's emotions were a little agitated, and she cursed Lockhart loudly, attracting the curious gaze of many young wizards.

I didn't expect Penelope to have such a man's side.

"Don't get excited, Penelope." William hurriedly calmed Penelo and calmed the girl's agitated emotions.

"If something like this happens, we can go to Professor Flitwick. He would never tolerate that happening. ”

I really don't know why Dumbledore asked Lockhart to teach this course. Is there such a shortage of people in the wizarding world?

"yes, I know, I just, just a little excited." Penelope's mood quickly stabilized, and she smiled gratefully at William, then quickly settled the dinner in front of her, and then turned and walked towards the outside of the auditorium.

She also needs to go to the library to continue her studies.

"Sister Penelope is really tough!"

"Will it be like this when we're in our senior grades?" Terry asked, looking at Penelope's departing back.

For the young wizards now, they are still enjoying the leisurely campus life, and they don't have a deep understanding of hard work and pressure.

No, Terry. If you follow the plot, you will have a more miserable life at that time. William replied inwardly.

If nothing else, Voldemort had already received the daily teaching of Hogwarts by that time, and Dumbledore was dead, and in that dark time, the young wizards might have really been punished by the Crucifixion Charm for making mistakes.

I'm afraid Filch will be happy when the time comes!

"Almost! After all, the Ultimate Wizard Rank Exam is still very valuable. He didn't tell Terry about the cruelty of the next few years, just said it lightly.

The Ultimate Wizarding Exam (abbreviated as .), is a subject-specific exam that seventh year students at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry are required to take as a way to validate their academic qualifications when applying for positions after graduation.

This is also the highest level of examination available to Hogwarts students.

In the seventh year, the Student Council attends at the end of the academic year. Exams that measure students' learning outcomes in the final two years.

Many majors require a specialization in a specific. Achieving a high score in the exam means that students need to work very hard.

For example, if you want to become an Auror in the Ministry of Magic, you'll need at least five more... A "Distinct" or "Good" grade on an exam, especially for Charms and Defence Against the Dark Arts, must be Excellent.

Penelope is graduating next semester, so she is now actively preparing for next year's exams every day.

She was a Muggle-born wizard who wanted to stay in the wizarding world after graduation and get a good job.

A few distinctions in this exam will be a key factor.

This is also the reason why Penelope is so anxious, whether it is in the Muggle world or the wizarding world, it is the same emphasis on academic requirements.

Moreover, it is very difficult for Muggle wizards to integrate into the wizarding world.

"Have you thought about what you're going to do in the future, William?" Terry asked, curious.

"I haven't thought about it yet, but I think I'll become a great wizard like Merlin in the future." William thought for a moment, and then gave his answer in a serious way.

"Gan! Can you please not brag! ”

The two of them chatted and laughed, but the nervous Terry didn't notice that William's gaze swept over the long table in Gryffindor House from time to time.

There was a slight pause at the sight of a girl with fiery red hair.

She must have started working with the diary!

The plot is about to begin, and I have to hurry up and plan.
