Chapter 38: The First Race

Time flies, Lockhart doesn't even feel it, the time for the game is up, although Lockhart doesn't want to watch the plot at all, he still arrives at the game.

Amid the applause and exclamations of the crowd, one of the protagonists of the game - a living angry roaring dragon - was transported onto the field, and Bagman hurried to the commentary booth in his outdated and ill-fitting Hornets jersey to announce the start of the first game - and what the Warriors had to do was to steal a golden egg from the heavily guarded dragon egg by any means.

The first unlucky guy to take on the field, Diggory.

Diggory walked into the arena one foot deep and one foot shallow from the warrior's tent, and if he hadn't woken up from a dream by the dragon's roar, the boy might have walked straight between the dragon's feet and was swallowed by the dragon in one bite.

Finally realizing that his opponent was a dragon, Diggory quickly retreated to keep a safe distance, and under the expectant gaze of everyone, he decisively drew his wand and cast a spell on the stone not far away, which turned into a bear, and then pounced on the egg under the feet of the mother dragon.

Enraged, the dragon spewed a breath of dragon breath at the bear, knocking the bear to the sidelines, and the bear kept running and continued to attack the dragon, so that the mother dragon had to stand up and pounce on the giant bear, trying to bite it to death. Diggory took the opportunity to run over, and when the dragon bit the bear out of its original form, Diggory had already obtained the golden egg.

There was cheering from the audience.

The second warrior, Fleur Delacour, left her conjured clone in place to look at the dragon. And he used a superb illusion spell and breath shielding, sneaked up to the dragon's side, picked up the golden egg, turned around and ran, and when the dragon reacted and breathed fire at her, he summoned a water shield to resist, and only a strand of hair was burned - despite this, it still made Fleur's tears of distress water.

The audience also applauded Fleur, not knowing whether it was for her beauty or for her appearance.

Lockhart barely grasped the joy of being in the game - the teacher's bench was close to the field and at the same level, so it was easier to experience the competitive atmosphere.

Krum was much more rude, attacking the dragon's eyes directly as soon as he came up, and then took advantage of the dragon's insightfulness to obtain the golden egg, but the dragon egg was also trampled by the blind and painful dragon, and more than one referee deducted Krum's points for this.

It took a lot of effort for the lifeguards to subdue the fireball dragon that had lost its eggs, and when it finally collapsed to the ground under more than twenty stunned spells cast at the same time, most of the women in the audience showed unbearable expressions. As for Harry's watch, it was much better than the original - because Hermione had brought his broom to the audience, which made him get it as soon as he appeared. Watching him finish the race as thrilling as in the movie, Lockhart felt even worse when everyone else was cheering......

It's almost a Christmas ball, and Lockhart thinks maybe he can invite Fleur to dance, and then something other than friendship happens, and this girl still makes a deep impression on him.

But he soon discovered that he had miscalculated: many girls came to ask him to be their dance partner, and one of them was difficult for him to refuse.

"Professor, can you be my dance partner?" said Lockhart's large, green eyes sparkling as he stared at Lockhart.

"Uh, Pandora, maybe you should go to the prom with boys of about the same age, I'm twice your age—"

"People just want to dance with the professor, do you agree? "A girl you don't know very well and is very beautiful, she is coquettish to you, and she is not too demanding, it is really hard to refuse.

"Well, my dear, I promise you, if you haven't promised the other boys on the day of the ball, I'll do your first dance. ”

"Great, Professor, that's it. Pandora left happily.

――

Since he agreed, he couldn't have any other ideas, and Lockhart had to prepare and attend classes as usual. On this day, Lockhart came to the library to borrow books.

"Hermione, are you ready for the prom?" Seeing his favorite student, he couldn't help but want to talk, but the female student next to him still caught the looming keyword, and before Hermione could answer, she burst into a suppressed and high-pitched giggle.

"Get out of here!" Mrs. Pince slammed up from behind the counter and violently shoved the noisemakers out.

She glanced at Lockhart disapprovingly and announced, "It's time for lunch, it's closed!"

Lockhart shrugged apologetically and left the library with the book, Hermione followed, frustratedly saying, "Someone invited me, but I don't like him." ”

"What about Harry and Ron. Although I knew, I couldn't help but feel sorry for these two second goods.

"The two of them!" Hermione seemed aggrieved, "I'd rather have no dance partner than invite me!" Professor, you'll help me, right, I'll be your dance partner." ”

Hermione looked at Lockhart expectantly, but Lockhart had to disappoint her, "Uh, sweetheart, I promised someone else, and as compensation, I'll give you a prom dress, okay, the owl will send it to you in the afternoon." ”

Hermione was even more frustrated, and Lockhart had to comfort her, "Don't be sad, you wear the dress I gave you, and I promise to dance with you in the second song, okay." ”

"Well, Professor, thank you, then I'll have to say yes to Krum. "Hermione is feeling better.

Lockhart touched Hermione's shoulder: "Don't be sad Hermione, you are such a lovely girl, dress up, Ron and they will definitely regret not inviting you that day." ”

"Then you promise someone else......" Hermione grumbled quietly, and Lockhart had to pretend not to hear it. "I'm going to Hagrid's class. ”

"Alright, goodbye, Hermione, get dressed up for the prom. Lockhart said.

"Uh-huh!"

Hermione is so tsundere?!
