Chapter 52: The Professors Remembered the Fear of Being Dominated by Lockhart
Professor Lockhart didn't keep everyone waiting long. Soon, the students knew what this surprise was.
February 14 is Valentine's Day.
As soon as Harley walked into the auditorium that morning, she stopped, suspecting that she had strayed into the wedding scene.
The walls of the auditorium were covered with large, dazzling pink flowers, and many heart-shaped confetti fell from the light blue ceiling and covered the bread and bacon meat.
The students swept the confetti off in disgust and hesitated to eat the food in front of them.
They always feel that the delicacies have been contaminated, so they can't eat them.
Harley found a place to sit down, snapped her fingers, and placed a sparkling spider silk in a certain area of her head, blocking all the confetti.
Then, she looked at Seamus diagonally opposite: "What's going on?" ”
"What a job Professor Lockhart did!" Seamus shrugged helplessly and pointed to the teacher's seat.
Hallie looked in the direction he was pointing, almost laughing.
In the faculty chair, Professor Lockhart is wearing a pink robe that matches the ornaments and a pink top hat full of flowers.
The other professors, including the young professor of ancient magic, Bathsida Barbling, wore light blue wizard robes at best.
It can only be said that Professor Lockhart's taste is really twenty years ahead of the version!
"This Professor Lockhart's painting style is so weird, it's completely different from other professors!" I don't know who complained, which caused many people to nod.
Professor Lockhart didn't care about his sense of disobedience. He stood up and waved his hand to silence everyone.
"Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!" Professor Lockhart exclaimed,
"In order to liven up the oppressive atmosphere in the school, I took it upon myself to arrange today's Valentine's Day surprise!
So far, thirty-two people have presented me with greeting cards! Allow me to thank them!
Of course, I'm sure I'll receive a lot more than that! After all, my fans outside of school haven't come to send greeting cards yet!
You lucky little ones can give Professor Lockhart a greeting card at the closest place to him! ”
Before he could finish speaking, suddenly, a large flock of owls poured in from outside the auditorium.
Most of the owls rushed at Professor Lockhart, as if to echo Professor Lockhart's words.
Only a handful flew towards the students, and one of them landed in front of Malfoy, also carrying a heavy package.
On the faculty seat, the professors, who were already unkind, changed their faces in an instant, and each used their own means to build a line of defense on their heads.
With the exception of Professor Snape, who joined the faculty later, all the professors who came to the faculty chair today have taught Lockhart.
And today, they all remembered the fear of being dominated by Lockhart in the past.
Back then, it was also one such morning, everything was fine, and it seemed like it was just an ordinary Valentine's Day.
At that time, Hogwarts was very peaceful, and everyone was enjoying their food in their seats.
But the "catastrophe" struck, and the owl formed a cloud that covered the entire ceiling.
Lockhart, who was still a student, personally hand-wrote more than 800 identical love letters and hired an owl to send them to himself.
And that morning, the dense owls made the students unforgettable.
The tables in the four colleges were full of feathers and droppings, and everyone was hungry all morning, and had no appetite until noon.
That night, it was Lockhart's turn to feel the pain. Lockhart, who had been happy all day and kept showing off, was beaten up by a bunch of students who covered their faces.
Even the always proud Kitty Eagle and the always kind Little Badger had some people who did not suppress their anger in their hearts and participated in this melee.
Can you feel the feeling of having a delicious meal in front of you, but you have no appetite and can only be hungry all day?
Although Lockhart has a good theoretical score, his spellcasting level is relatively average.
So under the siege of a group of masked students, Lockhart's face was swollen the next day.
And now, it seems that Professor Lockhart is about to repeat the accident of the year.
This time he was still a professor, and if Headmaster Dumbledore didn't speak, no one could justifiably sanction him.
Wonderful expressions appeared on the professors' faces, killing intent appeared in Professor Snape's eyes, and Professor McGonagall's teeth chattered wildly.
Professor Flitwick thrust his fork into the sausages in front of him, as if mistaking them for Lockhart.
He was secretly annoyed as to himself as to why he hadn't eaten in his office like Professor Sprout, or just left the school like Professor Dumbledore.
Among the students, the junior students were still blindsided, not knowing what would happen, and the senior students had already reacted.
"Clear water is like a spring!" "Freeze quickly!"
The Weasley twins struck at the same time, and the tip of Fred's wand spewed a splash of water that went straight to the ceiling, while George froze the umbrella-shaped water into ice.
The two of them worked together to make an ice umbrella and block it around them. I have to say that the level of spells of the two is still very high.
The other upperclassmen who reacted either resorted to similar tactics or used Transfiguration to conjure up an umbrella for themselves.
However, these are a minority, and many people are not so strong.
So they had no choice but to quickly grab two loaves of bread and a bottle of pumpkin juice from the table and rush out of the auditorium.
"What are they doing?" Ron asked curiously, clutching a sausage in each hand.
Hermione gave him a pitying look and pointed to the sky: "There are so many owls, and there will be owl dung rain soon." ”
Ron changed his face instantly, shoved the sausage into his mouth, and then grabbed his bag and rushed at Fred and George.
Although his own strength is not good, he can still hold his thighs.
Hallie sighed, "That's disgusting! ”
As she spoke, the silk on top of Harry's head expanded rapidly, and the surface was covered with a layer of ice.
In an instant, there was a large umbrella on Gryffindor's long table, preserving a piece of pure land in the auditorium.
Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws also flocked to join the Gryffindor dining.
Only the Slytherins were desperate to save face and not want to eat at the Gryffindor table.
At this point, Professor Lockhart's front was already filled with owls.
The owls were all chirping and flapping their wings, trying to be the first to hand the card to Lockhart.
"See, lucky little ones!" Professor Lockhart shouted as he received the greeting card,
"So many people want to send me greeting cards! How fortunate you are to have my personal guidance! ”
Hallie quickly settled breakfast and slipped out of the auditorium with Hermione.
Before leaving, she severed the connection between the spider silk and the ice, and made sure that the umbrella would continue to exist.
Hallie was confident that the professors would take care of it when breakfast was over.
