Chapter 143: The exam proceeds as usual

Lockhart was relieved that one of the two Aurors who had been seriously injured and hospitalized was slightly injured, and the other had not yet recovered, but was not life-threatening, and he continued to patrol for the exam.

It's almost June, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the girls are dressed coolly, Lockhart is standing at the door of the examination room, feeling that the girls are still very eye-catching.

"Professor Trelawney, the exam has finally made you willing to deign down from the tower to us, to clear the fog and point the future to the candidates!" Lockhart said with a smile.

"Hello, Professor Lockhart. Trelawney was a particularly thin witch, with a thin necklace and shawl, and round glasses larger than her face that made her look like a giant dragonfly: "I just want to...... Be accountable to my students. ”

"That's good, Professor Trelawney, how are you teaching this semester?" Lockhart asked casually, "how are the students learning?" ”

"I ...... This semester has been very unpleasant!" Trelawney suddenly said angrily, "Umbridge's old toad bullied me, even a centaur dares to question my prophecy and teaching skills!"

"Uh, is it......" Lockhart looked at the "centaur" walking not far away, his pale blonde hair, surprisingly blue eyes, and the horse's body: "Hello, Professor Ferenze." ”

"Hello, Professor Lockhart. Ferenze greeted Lockhart politely, "Good morning, Professor Trelawney." I'm not questioning your prophetic abilities, but you shouldn't teach students those boring superstitions in class. ”

"Superstition?" Trelawney's voice trembled with anger, "That's the crystallization of human wisdom, magical prophecy!"

"Inconsequential events, trivial accidents of mankind," said Ferenze, his hooves hissing on the stone floor, "how could these things have been predicted to be as insignificant as the crawling ants of the vast universe?"

Seeing this, Lockhart hurriedly played a round: "Two professors, today is the children's exam, I think everyone should not argue about which prophecy is orthodox." Each prophecy is different, has its own meaning, is the crystallization of a racial civilization, and an accurate prophecy is a good prophecy, isn't it. ”

"You're right, Professor Lockhart. Ferencze relented, "I think so too. ”

"Humph!" Trelawney snorted in displeasure and said no more.

――

"Stop, Potter!" Snape's angry voice came from that side, Lockhart and the two divination professors looked over and saw Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy arguing, Harry had even taken out his wand, and Snape ran over in a rage to stop them.

Lockhart certainly knew what was going on, and yesterday he knocked Lucius Malfoy unconscious in the prophecy room, leading him and two other Death Eaters to be arrested and imprisoned. -- This time, he was really arrested, and he was under the supervision of the striker department. The newspapers wrote that the Aurors had captured the Death Eaters, and that news from the Ministry of Magic had brought them down was that Harry and his classmates had knocked them down, when in fact it was Lockhart who had led Lucius's arrest.

"I'm wondering what spell to use on Malfoy, sir. Harry said angrily to Snape, who glared at Harry.

"What's going on, Harry, Draco?" Lockhart asked, "Put your wand away!"

Lockhart's words were useful when Harry Bull was out of temper, and he immediately put away his wand obediently.

"Thirty points for Gryffindor!" Snape smiled contemptuously as he looked at the huge hourglass on the wall. "Ah, I've found that Gryffindor's hourglass has the fewest gems, Potter. ”

"It was Malfoy who provoked me first!" Harry said angrily.

"But I see your wand pointed at Malfoy, Potter. Snape said with disgust, "You're always talking nonsense and have no respect for your classmates, just like your father." ”

"Don't talk about my father!"

"Shut up, Harry, be respectful of the professor!" Lockhart ordered.

Professor McGonagall also walked over.

"What's going on," said Professor McGonagall, looking up at the hourglass on the wall, without hesitation, "I think that for the heroic example of Potter and his companions, Potter, Granger, and Weasley, as well as Longbottom and Finigan, should each receive twenty points." What do you think, Severus. ”

"What? Oh, well, I think that's reasonable. "Snape had always been temperless in front of McGonagall.

"What?" Neville and Seamus in the crowd were puzzled, but Ron held them down, "We two will get extra points too?"

"Alright, Potter, Malfoy, I think your divination professor probably wants you to get into the exam room right away. Professor McGonagall continued, gesturing in the direction of Trelawney and Ferenze.

Harry didn't need her to repeat it again, and obediently walked straight to the exam room, while Draco Malfoy passed by a few professors with red eyes and followed the other students to the exam room. Although Draco always had a conflict with the Savior Trio, he was always respectful and deferential to Lockhart, and when he passed by Lockhart, Lockhart softened and comforted him, "Draco, your father will be fine, I promise." ”

"Thank you, Professor Lockhart. Draco almost burst into tears, gave him a grateful look, and entered the exam room.

Lockhart watched the crowd disperse, stepped aside and pulled out his notes, and began planning his summer trip. He didn't just want to travel to China once, whether it was "in the past" or in this life, he believed that China was an ancient and magical country, and here he would definitely find more ways to destroy Horcruxes.

"Ahem!" Hagrid cleared his throat gruffly, and sat down next to Lockhart, blocking out the light.

"Hey, Hagrid, how are you doing?" Lockhart asked, closing his notebook.

"I'm done with the Magical Creatures Protection class, and I'm waiting for the summer vacation. Hagrid stroked his belly and said with satisfaction, "Gildero, you've helped me a lot this semester, and now Gollum can barely speak two words of English." ”

"That's great news, I can't believe how I teach English to a giant, but maybe I could put this into a book, it's still an interesting story, isn't it? ”

"Whatever you want, is the kid in there doing divination?" Hagrid asked.

"That's right, there's one more course, so you can sit back and wait for the holidays. Lockhart happily replied, "I'm going on a trip this summer, how about you?"

"Oh, that's good, but I don't want to think about it, I can't do without what I raised, and Gollum ......" Hagrid hesitated, "I'm just coming to see you, it's good that you're not hurt, I'll go back with Gollum." ”

"Okay, say hello to him on my behalf. ”
