Chapter 278: Funny Defence Against the Dark Arts Class (Part I)
"Ahh My body, my body is petrifying. William stood in front of the podium and shouted in an exaggerated voice.
His expression was so perverse that the students under the podium couldn't help but chuckle.
The next morning, William and Lockhart appeared in his hilarious play as promised in a Defence Against the Dark Arts class on Friday morning.
"That's right, William, you're so vivid! I'm almost going to believe that you've been petrified by my spell. Lockhart had a big smile on his face, and he looked very happy.
William didn't change anything because of Lockhart's praise, and he was still playing a rival role for Lockhart conscientiously.
His body remained motionless, as if he had been petrified as a statue, and his head slowly turned towards Lockhart, the only place he could move now.
But William turned rather stiffly, as if his neck lacked lubricant like a gear that had not been used for a long time.
"Who the hell are you, a mysterious wizard from afar, and why is your magic so powerful?" William's mouth opened slightly, and he asked Lockhart in an extremely subtle, trembling tone.
"Evil dark wizard, the one who defeated you is the embodiment of justice and the mortal enemy of evil........" Lockhart recited in a ghostly aria as he read the prepared lines, while William looked at Lockhart with a look of despair waiting for death to come.
In this ridiculous play, he plays an evil dark wizard who rules a remote village in the mountains of southern Europe with a dark magic that can petrify people.
This terrible reign lasted until Lockhart's chance visit to the area.
After learning about the misfortune of the villagers from a simple and beautiful girl (Pansy), Lockhart bravely stands up and goes to the mansion of the dark wizard played by William to defeat the evil guy.
Needless to say, they had a very exciting wizard duel next, from the dark wizard's mansion all the way to the square in the center of the village.
However, it is difficult to show what should be a very exciting fight in the form of a drama, and due to the narrow podium, William has to wave his wand stupidly and create some colorful sparks to replace the spell generated by the two fights.
I have to say that this is really a technical job, because William is likely to really hurt Lockhart if he is not careful, this, thanks to Professor Flitwick's duel training, William's fight looks like a decent.
He flickered and flickered around the cramped podium, dodging Lockhart's non-existent spells, and at the same time he swung his wand and fired several colorful sparks at Lockhart, which always dissipated just right when he reached Lockhart.
According to the cliché plot of the confrontation between good and evil, the righteous side is always suppressed by evil at the beginning, which is a method of wanting to promote and suppress first, and Lockhart is not surprisingly suppressed by William's dense spells.
At first he was a little embarrassed to dodge the podium, but soon Lockhart discovered William's thoughts, and found that the sparks were not threatening except for a little pretty, and he began to become heroic.
"Well done, William!" Terry couldn't help but shout at William on the podium, he didn't like the bells and whistles peacock man either.
However, of course, the plot will not continue like this, after all, in this farce, William is playing a harlequin, and our Lockhart is the real protagonist, a wizard full of a sense of justice.
In the final showdown, William unleashed a spell on Lockhart, who had collapsed to the ground, with his signature evil petrification spell that could turn people into stone statues.
"Die, strange wizard, and you will be the most beautiful of all the stone statues on display in my estate." Looking at Lockhart, who was slumped on the podium, William spoke with a hideous expression, and at the same time he raised his wand to learn about Lockhart's life.
Lockhart secretly waved his wand while William was speaking, and he changed the structure of William's wand through a spell called the Inversion Charm, turning the handle and tip of the wand upside down.
Truth be told, William had never heard of such a magical spell, and there was no doubt that it must have been invented by Lockhart.
I have to say, this is quite an ironic scene.
William, who was motionless, looked coldly at Lockhart, who was still giving the winning speech to the students below the podium, and if I remember correctly, Lockhart's ending was like William's ending in the play.
In the Chamber of Secrets, he wanted Ron's broken wand to erase Harry and Ron's memories of the Chamber of Secrets, just as he had done before.
Unfortunately, Lockhart clearly shouldn't have trusted a broken wand so easily, and the Oblivion Charm shot out of the wand's handle and hit him straight into his body.
Wizards know that the Oblivion Charm is a spell with the will of the caster, so this spell is always used on others, and casting the Oblivion Charm on oneself is undoubtedly a very dangerous thing.
It takes a lot of skill to compile a false memory that can be scrutinized, otherwise it is easy to develop irreparable memory confusion, which can cause the wizard to gradually fall into madness in the confusion that repeats in his mind.
As for the effect of the Oblivion Charm shot from the tail of a broken wand from someone else, with the tail of the most loyal unicorn as the core, broken into two pieces.
Lockhart was unfortunate enough to be the guide to this experiment.
"This is me, Gilderoy Lockhart, a third-class Medalist of the Order of Merlin, an honorary member of the Defence Against the Dark Arts League, and a three-time winner of Wizarding Weekly's Most Charming Smile Award." Lockhart apparently didn't know how he was going to end, and he wantonly introduced himself to the students under the podium.
Merlin knew how many times he had repeated those words in his previous class!
"Secretly, I've only applied three times, and I think people should shift their attention from my charming smile to my magical abilities."
With that, Lockhart smiled brightly at the students present, especially the schoolgirls from Ravenclaw and Slytherin.
Really, shamelessly!
