Chapter 4 Initial Lessons

This afternoon was Lockhart's first class, and Lockhart was out into the yard ready to relax.

What was the crowd doing there, he walked over and saw Colin taking pictures of Harry Potter and the Malfoy children seemed to be laughing at him. "What are you doing, what are you doing, taking pictures, coming, together!" Lockhart put his arm around Harry, "Who else is coming?"

"Me!" Hermione was the first to rush out, putting her arm around Lockhart and smiling sweetly at him, before a large group of students rushed up and gathered around him. Lockhart smiled and said to the little boy with the camera, "Lockhart and his students!

Colin's hands trembled with excitement, and he had just taken a picture when the bell rang for the afternoon class.

"Okay, let's go to class, and there will be a chance to take pictures later. ”

Once the class had sat down, Lockhart cleared his throat and remained silent. He took a step forward, picked up Neville's Travels with Giants, and held the book up, showing everyone the portrait of him smiling and winking on the cover.

"I," Lockhart said, pointing to the cover and winking, "Gilderoy Lockhart, a third-class Knights of Merlin, an honorary member of the Dark Witchcraft Defense League, and a five-time Witch Weekly Witch Weekly Smile Award winner - I didn't want to mention this, but I smiled at Witch Flowerheart and made her disappear." ”

Lockhart had just taken a photo with his classmates to make them feel high at this time, and as soon as he finished speaking, the classroom erupted in laughter, and the girls looked at him like, Lockhart motioned for everyone to calm down,

"Below, I'm going to do a quiz to test your understanding of Defense Against the Dark Arts and familiarity with my book. ”

l. What is the most important thing about Defence Against the Dark Arts?

2. What should I do if I encounter ghouls and werewolves?

3. What do you think is the most difficult monster to deal with?

4. What are vampires most afraid of?

5. What do you think is Gildlow Rockhart's greatest achievement? οΌ‰

"20 questions, all of which have answers in your first-grade textbook and mine, give you 10 minutes!"

After 10 minutes, Lockhart put away the paper and flipped through it in class.

"Question 1: Why are so many people empty? The most important thing in Defence Against the Dark Arts is vigilance, and then spells and courage! on page 3 of your first-year textbook. ”

"Someone actually wrote that silver weapons should be used to deal with werewolves, well, let me explain, the rumors of using silver weapons to deal with werewolves and vampires come from Muggles, in the struggle between Muggles and these dark magic creatures in the Middle Ages, it is true that some of the Holy See's silver weapons can effectively kill them, but the key to work is not silver, but the restraint magic attached to it, unfortunately, this magic has been lost. ”

"Miss Granger's papers are all right, but I'd like to add that if you're not a powerful wizard, the best way for you to see these creaturesβ€”" I paused, "is to turn around and run." ”

"Because of Miss Granger's perfect answer, Gryffindor adds 10 points!Alright, let's get to ...... point."

With a wave of his left hand, Lockhart floated to the podium in a large cloth-covered cage under his desk.

The silent wandless floatation technique, which took a night of practice to become proficient, really caused a commotion among the students below.

"Now--I have to warn you! My job is to educate you about the most difficult creatures in the world of witchcraft, so that you may be prepared for the future. Now I'm showing you probably the scariest thing you've ever seen. But don't be afraid, as long as I'm here, nothing will go wrong. I ask everyone to remain calm and not panic. ”

Harry stuck his head out of the pile of books he had gathered around, trying to get a good look at what it was.

Lockhart placed one hand on the cloth of the cage. The students below had long since stopped laughing. Neville in the front row cowered in the corner of his chair.

"I've got to make sure you don't scream when you see it. Lockhart whispered, "Because that might anger them." ”

Everyone held their breath, and Lockhart lifted the cloth at once.

"By the way," Lockhart said with an exaggerated expression. "A freshly caught Cornish elf. ”

Many of the students couldn't help but laugh.

"Don't laugh, you can't expect me to catch a werewolf or a Dementor and teach you a lesson, today, what we're going to learn is to cast a stun spell on something small and fast!"

"There are 40 elves in there, and I am asking you to capture them all without using the Stun Charm and not harming them. Friendly reminder: The spell for fainting is Stupefy!"

"Catching one will earn your house a point!Alright, draw your wand. ”

Lockhart opened the cage, as if he had opened a magic box. The elves scattered like rockets.

Immediately, the classroom was filled with spells, and the elves were making trouble, and Ron had just finished reciting the spell when he was knocked unconscious by his broken wand, and Mr. Savior was casting a stun spell in a stark manner. Miss Hermione seemed to be much more proficient, not only using the stun charm, but also knowing how to slow them down with obstacles first.

Lockhart stood in front and watched quietly, a little elf flew towards him, silently issued a wandless stun spell, with a wave of his hand, the elf fell, in fact, against this weak creature, the power of the wandless spell was enough, and the elf was picked up by Hermione in the first row.

The students apparently hadn't played that way until long after the classroom had no active elves that the commotion subsided.

"Okay, now, please come over and stuff the elf into the cage, and then see how many points everyone has added to their house. Hermione rushed to the podium with 4 elves alone and stuffed them into the cage, "Good job, Miss Granger caught 4!"

"I'll count them, Gryffindor plus 12 points, Slytherin 8 points, Hufflepuff 7 points, Ravenclaw 11 points! ”

"In this lesson, I want everyone to remember that when you meet a dark wizard, he will never wait for you to hit him like a mechanic, he will shapeshift, he can fly, he will disturb you, and attack you!

"It's not time for class yet, but I think students should have more time outside of class to practice the spells they want to practice, so I'm going to leave class early. ”

"In the future, as long as everyone completes my class tasks, no matter how fast they are, I will leave the class. Lockhart added. "I hope that the student who just didn't even cast a stun spell will go back and practice more, Weasley-sweasley, I think you should change your wand, you will be killed by this broken wand. Ron wept and touched his broken wand.

"Let's get out of class, be careful not to disturb the students in other classes who are still in class. ”

The students let out a cheer.

Lockhart walked out of the classroom, and Hermione and Harry ran over to say goodbye to him, "This is the most interesting class I've ever had, goodbye, Professor." ”

"Glad you liked it, goodbye. ”
