(36) Lockhart experiments with moving stairs

Hogwarts has admitted more than 800 students for the new semester, so the castle has a total of nearly 2,000 students, and almost half of the students are now crowded in front of the Gryffindor school building.

Because the moving staircase is built inside the staircase, only the students who actually entered the staircase were the first to find the staircase, and more students were crowded in the small courtyard of Gryffindor outside the staircase.

Some students even stood on the ancient pavilion of the next era, on the metal grape trellis, and wanted to find out.

Some students sat sideways on magic brooms and floated on the windows of the second, third, and fourth floors of the staircase. If they're lucky, they'll be able to see the moving staircase in action.

Some students seized the opportunity and occupied the exit of the second, third, and fourth floors of the staircase, stretching their necks and looking down.

"Principal Dunleydo, I don't think our school needs this person anymore."

"At Patience, Dean McGonagall, our school is still short of teachers, and even if students can become teachers in the future, they may not have the experience of Teacher Lockhart in teaching students."

Seeing Lockhart standing at the moving staircase and waving his hand, the serious, serious Dean McGonagall also disliked Lockhart's flamboyant personality.

A girl like Missy, who likes to be lively, naturally won't miss it, and she forcibly pulls Gwen, who is a little withdrawn, into the staircase. Wanda and her roommate Riley stood behind the crowd, holding two magic textbooks, The Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration and Standard Spells, Elementary, all of which she focused on.

Obviously, with Wanda's talent and her acquired hard work, Wanda may be at the top of Hogwarts, and maybe in a few years, ten years, Wanda will be able to compare to skilled teachers.

At this time, Mr. Lockhart ascended the first staircase in front of everyone's attention, which was one of the landmarks of Old Hogwarts in Lockhart's memory.

He was naturally familiar with this kind of staircase, and although he could not master the trick of this staircase, he would never make a fool of himself, and he could even climb to the top in front of this group of students.

When Lockhart's feet are all on the stairs, the magic mechanism is officially activated, and Lockhart, the experimental white rabbit, officially embarks on a strange magical journey.

The staircase spun slowly out of its original limitations, even floating in the air in defiance of gravity.

"Look, this staircase is amazing!"

"I'm going to walk this staircase ten times a day!"

These are just adults or teenagers, many of them like new and interesting things, and this magical staircase has just shown its form, which has already made these students very happy.

The staircase grew longer and shorter at Lockhart's feet, and it gradually spiraled into a spiral.

Lockhart finally understood that this staircase was no longer the moving staircase he was familiar with, because this moving staircase had more changes, and walking on this moving staircase was like going on a fantastical adventure.

And every time you walk on this staircase, it will change into a different shape and a different combination, even if you walk on this staircase every day for a long time, you will not get bored.

It's just that in this way, the moving staircase, which was originally only a dozen or twenty minutes to complete, may now have to spend half an hour or an hour on this new type of moving staircase.

"Teacher Lockhart doesn't move!"

"yes, why didn't he look at the wall and didn't move?"

"Did you notice that once we looked at this wall for a little longer, it was as if we were entering another magical world."

"This is also a magic wall, it's not like the direct visual experience in the auditorium, but it can change our minds, we look at one of the figures on the magic wall for a long time, we seem to become him!"

The end of the staircase shifted to a wall, and Lockhart only glanced at the figures on the magical wall for a few moments, and he felt as if he had entered another ancient world.

He felt as if he had become a wall of dozens of orc mages praying to the gods to bless his tribe, prostrate on the ground wearing animal skins and holding staff of animal skulls.

Lockhart shook his head and brought himself back to the real world, knowing that although the walls of this stairwell did not have moving paintings, the statues it carved had some kind of magic that gave rise to infinite illusions in those who looked at him, and those who looked at the wall would fall in love with it if they had the slightest attention on the wall and a little slackening of willpower.

When Lockhart gathered up his mood and planned to go to the next level, he found that the first floor in front of him had become the same place where he had started on the first floor.

It turned out that Lockhart had already been disturbed by the magic wall, and with the winding of the staircase, he walked back to the original path before he knew it.

"Gwen, you don't think this looks like a maze of stairs!"

"Probably only those who are familiar with it, or who are firm and sane, will not be deceived by the stairs and walls here! I think our headmaster is the most amazing person, I don't know how he managed to change such a magical staircase. But ah, with your personality, you don't want to climb the four floors of the moving staircase. ”

Seeing this scene, the students who came to watch finally knew that this was a magical staircase, where the mahogany staircase and stone brick walls were full of magic and magic mechanisms.

It is not an ordinary staircase at all, it is a challenge, and they believe that every student who walks through these four flights of stairs has the right to raise their heads, hold their chests high, and raise their heads proudly.

But instead of deterring the students, they were all ambitious, and since Mr. Lockhart didn't make it to the top floor, they all had to scramble to be the first to complete the four stairs.

This was what Dumbledore wanted, and a simple move of the staircase could only become a landscape.

Now, the moving staircase will not only become a landscape, but also an unforgettable memory, a game that they will never forget, and a challenge that they will never give up with.

"Principal Dumbledore, I'll walk in front of the students again, I just thought it was the same staircase I was familiar with, so there was some carelessness, now I won't make a mistake!"

"No need, Mr. Lockhart, your mission is done, it's time for the kids to perform."

Dumbledore smiled and patted Mr. Lockhart on the shoulder, Lockhart had proven that as long as you concentrate on this staircase, it will not bring danger, but it will test the students' reaction and analysis skills to change, and their resistance to the magic wall, except for if they see that there is no way in front of them and walk blindly past, it is their own broken leg.
