Chapter 64: Percy and Power
"You see, Professor Lockhart's true level of teaching."
"Come on, Hermione, it's clear that John is teaching us, and Lockhart hasn't even taken out his wand."
After the Defence Against the Dark Arts class, Hermione immediately approached Harry Ron to clear Lockhart's name.
Ron was even more sure that Lockhart was an empty guy, because Lockhart hadn't even taken out his wand during the whole lesson.
It's not so much Lockhart teaching as John being in class.
When Neville didn't cast the Levitation Charm, it was John who used Transfiguration to control the trolls.
Lockhart was so frightened that he hid behind the podium.
"Hmph, but his lesson is good, isn't it?" Hermione tried to refute, but was convinced.
Watching her idol walk down the altar made her very entangled.
Ron shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently, "If I can let John take classes in the future, I have no problem with Lockhart." ”
Harry watched the two arguing, still remembering what he heard on Saturday when he was sent off to help Lockhart answer a letter.
Because of Ron and Malfoy's vicious act of casting curses on each other, both he and Ron were imprisoned.
The good news is that Malfoy's father, who was a shortguard, didn't come to Hogwarts to make a big fuss, and I heard that John was the one who put everything right for them.
This made Harry feel grateful to John.
It was at this moment that Filch let out a roar.
The Weasley twins snickered and frog brains were painted all over the walls, much to Filch's rage.
He's a squib, he has no magic, he can only get rid of it bit by bit.
Knowing that it was a prank by the Weasley twins, Percy saw this and walked up to reprimand them sternly.
"You shouldn't be so mischievous."
"Come on, Percy."
"No, it's supposed to be the prefect."
"Maybe you can get into the Ministry of Magic."
"Because you're as rigid and boring as the people there."
George and Fred sang and harmonized, which made Percy angry.
Percy was an outlier in the Weasley family, and although Mrs. Weasley had always regarded him as a pride, he was out of step with the whole family.
After all, no one in Weasley would read a frighteningly boring book like "How Prefects Gained Power" except Percy.
Percy is helpless about this, and he wants more power.
For this reason, even if Lockhart's teaching skills are poor, he respects him.
After all, it was the affection of his family that overcame him, and he had to leave with a warning.
The Weasley twins grimace in the back, and Ron couldn't stand his brother when he saw it.
The twins often bully themselves, but they don't reprimand them as rigidly and seriously as Percy.
Not to mention Weasley, even in Gryffindor, Percy looks like an anomaly.
After all, you can study poorly in Gryffindor, but you definitely can't do without friends and a sense of humor.
"John, you're right, I told Dad not to come to school, and the next time I see Weasley, I'm going to make him cry."
In Slytherin's ranks, Malfoy proudly tells John that he had stopped Mr. Malfoy.
After being attacked by Ron on Saturday and using a curse, Malfoy cursed to get Weasley out of Hogwarts.
John frowned when he heard this, and said to him earnestly, "Draco, don't be like a child, powerful wizards don't rely on their father, you can give him a curse in return, but never let people look down on you." ”
This made Malfoy change his mind, for he did return a curse, which was more pleasant than having his father come to school to make a fuss.
Fighting back also made the matter unreasonable, and Mr. Malfoy probably couldn't please him.
Daphne trotted over to John, with a hint of adoration in her eyes, and said coquettishly, "You're awesome, the Transfiguration in the class just now was so perfect, where did you get a troll?" ”
"Oh? It was Professor Lockhart who got it. ”
John did what he said he would, maintaining Lockhart's image on the outside, at least so that he wouldn't be so questionable anymore.
Daphne was not stupid, she wrinkled her beautiful Joan nose, and said a little angrily: "Come on, he doesn't have that ability, oh my God, I don't know why my mother just likes him." ”
John smiled noncommittally, the troll was Boggart became.
Boggart can reflect the fear in his heart, but he is not too strong in terms of strength.
Even if it becomes a troll, it may not even have half the strength of a troll.
Just build a dreaded troll with Occlumency, stand a little more in front of it, and the Boggart will become the creature you want.
He remembered that when Harry was in his third year, a Defence Against the Dark Arts professor had captured Boggart, of course, who was teaching him how to deal with Boggart, not a troll.
Lockhart's strength is not very good, but the stories are all told by others.
The knowledge in it is indeed useful, as long as it is taught above, even if it is criticized for theory, it will definitely not be called bad.
It's a pity that Lockhart didn't realize this, and in the lesson plan that John set for him, except for the second grade, it was best to leave it without doing it, and most of them were based on the stories in the book combined with theories.
Defense Against the Dark Arts, which is mainly about countering and defending against magical creatures and the persecution of the Dark Arts.
It's still easy to cope with this school year.
After becoming an Assistant in Defence Against the Dark Arts class, many students begin to realize that John is different from them.
Even Professor McGonagall praised his Transfiguration for reaching senior level, much to Slytherin's pride.
Especially in Lockhart's bonus points, John took the Slytherin points funnel all the way to the top and left the other three houses far away.
This made Slytherin straighten his back.
...
"George, Fred!"
Percy's roar rang out in the hallway, and John walked out of the Room of Requirement to see the sneaky two sneaking back to Gryffindor Tower.
Percy walked down the hallway in a rage, and he caught the two guys in the night swim.
With just one glance, he could confirm that those two iconic flaming red hairs were definitely his two younger brothers.
To his surprise, however, he didn't catch the Weasley twins, but instead captured John of Slytherin.
"I should have given you a warning, although I don't deduct your points, but you violated the school rules."
Percy wears a pair of glasses and is neatly dressed, unlike Ron, who never gets dressed.
He said it with a blank look, John shrugged, and then thought of something.
"Percy Weasley, we haven't spoken much yet."
John was impressed with the Weasleys, and with the exception of the two Weasleys who had already graduated, Percy's presence was the lowest.
But you can't deny Percy's excellence, he got twelve certificates in the O.W.L. exam, which is a paper king plus a top student.
It even makes people suspect that if it weren't for the fact that he was Weasley, he would probably have been sorted into Ravenclaw.
After all, Weasley is full of Gryffindors, and the Sorting Hat probably doesn't want to break the tradition.
For Slytherin, the first reaction of all Weasleys is hate, but in front of them is John, John Wick, the man who saved the three little ones.
Percy frowned and politely declined, "I'm sorry, but I'm still going to help the professor patrol ......"
"If that's the case, I don't think you have to worry."
John smiled slightly, and said lightly, "Are you interested in going to the Defence Against the Dark Arts office for a cup of black tea?" ”
It was as easy as if he were talking about going home, and Percy was a little surprised.
Lockhart is unreliable but also a professor, and he behaves too easily.
Thinking that John was a Defence Against the Dark Arts assistant, Percy frowned and readily agreed, "Okay, but only for a while." ”
"That's enough."
John smiled, but he thought of something else.
If there are any surprising plots in the Harry Potter series that are impressive, there is definitely one traitor who defects to the Ministry of Magic in the Weasleys of the Iron Dumbledore Party.
And this person is Percy, who is hungry for power, which also makes Percy a person who is still fresh in John's memory of the plot that he doesn't remember much.
He remembered that Percy's Ministry of Magic was quite good, and even had a fight with the Weasleys in order to climb up.
This upward spirit was what John needed, and he put his mind to it.
Maybe you can recruit Percy Weasley.
The connections in my own hands are very attractive.
