Chapter 73: Lockhart, the net helper
Rolf had a bad premonition since he woke up this morning, and when he saw today's schedule, Defense Against the Dark Arts knew where that bad premonition came from.
He still clearly remembers how Ron complained about Lockhart in the 'Blue Dragon Study Group':
Did Ron eat chicken legs today: Can you believe it? This year's Defence Against the Dark Arts class was completely screwed up by our new professor!
Britain's future livestock tycoon: What's wrong.jpg?
Ron: Don't mention it, the first half of the lesson was Lockhart's personal fan meeting, and the second half was Lockhart being bullied by the Cornwall elves, and we ......
Okay, thanks to frontline correspondent Ron for the timely report, let's turn our attention back to today's Defence Against the Dark Arts lesson
Once the class was seated, Lockhart, dressed in flamboyant clothes, cleared his throat loudly to silence everyone and keep everyone's eyes on him.
He reached for "Walking with Trolls" from a Slytherin girl in the front row, and held it in his hand, showing the blinking photo of himself on the cover.
"I," he said, pointing to his photograph and winking at himself, "Gilderoy Lockhart, 3rd Class of the Order of Merlin, Honorary Member of the Anti-Dark Arts League, five-time winner of Wizarding Weekly's Most Charming Smile Award,
Of course, I don't often talk about these false names, after all, I don't use my smile to drive away Wanlun's female ghosts!
He waited for everyone to laugh, and several of them smiled faintly.
But after the previous propaganda of Gryffindor and Ravenclaw, many little witches who fell into the debuff seemed to have sobered up a lot, and they all looked at Lockhart with a little scrutiny in their eyes.
"I see that you've all bought my full book, which is good, and I thought we'd do a quiz today.
Don't be afraid, just see how well you read and how much you understand these stories of mine, after all, they are my precious treasures. ”
After handing out the papers, he returned to the pulpit and said, "Give you thirty minutes......!" Let's go!"
When Rolf got the scroll, he looked at it and whispered:
1. What is Gilderoy Lockhart's favorite color?
2. What are Gilderoy Lockhart's ambitions?
3. What do you think is Gilderoy Lockhart's greatest achievement to date?
And so on, on three sides of paper, and the last question is:
54. What is Gilderoy Lockhart's birthday? What is his ideal birthday present? Half an hour later, Lockhart put the test paper away and looked through it in front of the class.
"Tsk, almost no one remembers my favorite lilac, I'm really sad, lilac is a color with a lot of magic, I mentioned it in A Year with a Tibetan Yeti.
I have a few students who want to read "Weekend with Werewolves" again, and I made it clear in chapter 12 of the book that my ideal birthday present is for all those who can and cannot do magic to get along with each other.
But I wouldn't say no to a large bottle of Ogden Aged Hot Whisky!"
This is why it is now in peacetime, why don't you see him making a lot of nonsense in the era when Voldemort is rampant?
He winked mischievously at them again, and Malfoy, after listening to Ron's story, now looked at him with distrust,
He continued: "You guys are so disappointed that there is a little witch in Gryffindor who has a hundred points, and your highest is only 85 points,
This Mr. Rolf Scamander, even though you didn't please me, I would still give Hufflepuff five points. ”
As for how Rolf got the 85 points, he asked Hermione to repeat the questions she could remember, and the remaining 15 points were the ones Hermione didn't remember.
With the help of the chat system, Rolf once again changed his fate (crossed out) and succeeded in cheating!
I only heard him continue: "I believe you have seen my dispute with Professor Sprout in front of the greenhouse, the centaur tribe has a strange disease,
There is nothing that the professors at the college can do, but I have seen this disease, and I know that there is a home remedy that can be cured by smoking, but Professor Sprout is adamantly resistant to using this method, which is really sad.
How could I be a third-class member of the Order of Merlin, an honorary member of the Anti-Dark Arts League, and a five-time winner of Wizarding Weekly's Most Charming Smile Award?"
Rolf wanted to laugh when he heard it, but when he heard Lockhart say that 'smoking can be cured', Rolf was surprised, and he had heard of this home remedy when he was helping the veterinarian in his previous life at the horse farm.
But the reason why it is called home remedies means that this method has not been scientifically verified, and the veterinarian also said at the time:
"Few horses who have used this home remedy before have been cured because smoking not only does not help their condition, but also causes secondary injuries such as foreign body pneumonia. ”
Rolf suddenly felt as if he had nails on his stool, and he couldn't sit still, if the centaur tribe had asked the human wizard for help to no avail, would the dead horse use this method as a live horse doctor?
But now that classes are still in class, Rolf can't skip class directly in front of the professor, and can only continue to listen to Lockhart boast about his glorious deeds.
And when the class was about to end, Lockhart said: "Okay, the next class needs you to interpret what I just said, please get ready, look forward to your presentation!" After speaking, he walked out.
Finally got out of class, but fortunately he learned smartly in this class, and he didn't take out the Cornwall elves to embarrass again.
But more importantly, Rolf now made full use of his unusual physical qualities, running out of Hogwarts Castle and towards the centaur tribe's settlement.
"Hagrid, can you take me to the centaur tribe one more time?" Rolf ran to Hagrid's cabin next to the Forbidden Forest, hammering the wooden door desperately.
"What's wrong, Rolf?" said Hagrid, who was holding a pan in his left hand, as he opened the door, apparently trying to improve his cooking skills.
"I heard Professor Lockhart say that he taught the horses a remedy, but that remedy is extremely dangerous, and I have to stop them quickly. Rolf said at breakneck speed.
Hagrid couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly put down the pan in his hand, hurriedly put on his coat, and guided Rolf towards the centaur tribe.
But just as Rolf and the others crossed a stream, they saw an unexpected person.
"First year wizard, why are you here alone, I remember Professor Dumbledore forbidding you to come here!" Hagrid said sternly, and Rolf could feel the anger radiating from him all around him.
ps: I have an urgent matter today, I don't have time to catch insects, and I don't necessarily have to finish writing after a while, I try to write as quickly as possible, otherwise I guess I will have to wait until the thing is done before I can come back and continue to write.
