Chapter 12: Professor Lockhart
"If you steal a car, I won't be surprised if they fire you, and see how I clean you up then. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoYou probably didn't even think about how your dad and I felt when we found out that the car was gone......"
It was Mrs. Weasley's shouts, a hundred times louder than usual, that shook the plates and spoons on the table, and the echoes of the stone walls on all sides were deafening.
The entire auditorium turned to see who had received the shouting letter, and Ron cowered in his chair, only a reddened forehead.
"Haha, I knew, I knew he was going to be scolded!But this car must be a few months of Mr. Weasley's salary!" Draco scoffed, his body shaking.
"Receiving Dumbledore's letter last night, your father was so ashamed that he almost died. We worked hard to bring you up, but I didn't expect you to do such a thing, and you and Harry almost lost their lives......"
Harry had been listening for when his name came out. He tried not to hear the sound of the ear drum.
"It's so infuriating, your dad will be censored at work, it's all your fault. If you don't follow the rules, we'll bring you back right away!"
The roar stopped, and the ears were still buzzing. The red envelope that had fallen from Ron's hand to the ground burned, curled and turned to ashes. Harry and Ron sat dumbfounded, as if they had just been washed by the tide. A few people smiled, and the voices began to sound again.
Benjamin couldn't help but shake his head, such a punishment was too normal.
But at this time, the hall suddenly fell silent. It turned out that the deans of each college began to distribute the class schedules to the students one by one.
Benjamin picked up the class schedule in his hand and gave him a cursory glance, "Our next class is Professor Flitwick's Charms class, and then Herbology. ”
"So, we didn't have a class with Gryffindor this morning?" Draco asked, a little delighted.
Benjamin nodded, and drank the last bit of juice in his glass. "That's right, Transfiguration and Defence Against the Dark Arts are in the afternoon. And Potions class is tomorrow. ”
After saying that, the few of them hurried to the classroom where the class was held.
The diminutive Professor Flitwick still had to stand on the table to be seen by all.
When Benjamin and Draco sat down, they realized that another uninvited guest had broken into the classroom.
"Why is he here? Doesn't he have to prepare for the afternoon class?" said Pansy in surprise when she saw Professor Lockhart.
"Maybe he's trying to give Professor Flitsch advice, I mean, he's a great wizard in the first place. I read each of his books carefully. ”
Sitting in front of them was a Ravenclaw student, Benjamin whom they did not know the freckled girl.
"Really, I think he's more of a liar!" Draco said mercilessly.
The Ravenclaw girl immediately turned her head, and beside her, a girl with waist-length blond hair, looked into the distance and said, "Don't talk to Slytherin, I saw a giant serpent behind them......"
Lockhart cleared his throat as he waved at the students in the audience. (Benjamin silently flips through the book.) "Hey, students, I'm not here to replace Professor Flitwick! I know you're going to be disappointed, but I have to tell you that Professor Flitwick is a great wizard. ”
Benjamin stared intently at the book, and the moment he touched each incantation with his hand now, he felt the urge to enter a meditative state.
Only in that case would he be able to comprehend the essence of any of the spells.
"Do you think Professor Flitwick is angry?" asked Pansy, puzzled.
Professor Flitwick just straightened his clothes and said to Lockhart, "Professor Lockhart, are you here for something? I'm about to start class." ”
Unaware of the unfriendliness in Professor Flitwick's tone, Lockhart patted Professor Flitwick on the shoulder and said, "Nothing, I just wanted to see which spell you would teach today." If you lack practical experience, you can ask me, I have used all the magic in this book. Alright, boys, I'm going to see how Professor Sprout is doing, she might need my help right now!"
"He's amazing, I mean, he's so handsome in the werewolf village!"
With that, Lockhart left, and he was content to hear the adoration of a large number of students in the front row.
"Do you believe it, Benjamin?" Draco flipped to the last page of his book.
"I'm just worried about our Defence Against the Dark Arts class right now. After all, he is the most anticipated course of every semester. ”
Benjamin's words are definitely not a lie, if they want to better resist the dark arts, then, what they need is to understand the dark arts. And Benjamin is even more interested in black magic.
Professor Flitwick looked unhappy in the first class of the school year, and he finally left the classroom in a hurry when the bell rang.
As soon as Benjamin and the others walked out of the classroom, they ran into Lockhart and Harry again.
"What are they doing?" Pansy asked, confused, followed by a shutter sound answering her question.
"They're taking pictures, and by the way, the guy who took them seems to be a Gryffindor freshman. Benjamin saw a gray-haired, very thin boy, holding a camera and pressing the shutter in a hurry.
"Hehe, it seems that our great savior has another brainless fan. Draco said with some displeasure.
Benjamin suddenly noticed that not far from them, the little girl of the Weasley family, Ginny Weasley, had been looking this way, and of course, Benjamin knew that the person Ginny was looking at must be Harry. It's just that her eyes are a little strange, fanatical and fearful, contradictory and tangled.
Lockhart patted Harry on the shoulder and said smugly, "Oh, Harry, I must have given you a taste of sweetness in the bookstore that day, didn't I? Yes, it's a real ecstasy. But Harry, you're still a little too young, I'm not even as famous as you are at your time! I'm just an ordinary wizard! I've survived the big devil whose name can't be named, oh my god, that's a big honor, of course, it's probably not as good as winning the Wizarding Weekly Most Charming Smile Award for five years in a row!"
