Chapter 277: Lockhart's Stage Play
"Tsk...... Unexpected......"
Half an hour later, Lockhart put the test paper away and flipped through it on the spot.
"Quite a few people remember that I liked lilacs, and that's good...... It's just that why don't you remember that my greatest achievement so far was five wins of the Wizarding Weekly Most Charming Smile Award, as I said earlier. ”
He winked at his classmates again.
Although a small number of iron fans immediately covered their chests with their hands, breathing rapidly, their eyes were misty, and they showed an expression as if they had drunk fake wine, most of them still didn't eat his set.
Gryffindor's Katie Bell sat in front of Connor, and as Lockhart spoke, she lowered her head, shrugged her shoulders, and laughed tremblingly.
There are also Mikel and Ryan, who also endure very hard.
"But ......"
Lockhart's voice suddenly became quite higher, "Miss Miletsine knows that my birthday is January 26th...... Good girl! ”
"Actually...... "a hundred," he flipped the scroll over, "a hundred, where is this fine little witch?" ”
A trembling hand was raised in the front row, and it was the student who had been chosen by Kyle at a glance.
"Yay!" Lockhart laughed and said, "Very good! Ten points to Gryffindor! ”
"There are also two students who regret that they only got 53 questions right."
Lockhart took out two papers,
"I think they should read Walking with the Trolls again...... In Chapter 9 of my book, I made it clear that my secret ambition was to rid the world of evil, as well as to sell my own line of hair lotions...... instead of toothpaste.
However, toothpaste is also a good choice, and I would consider adding it to the "Lockhart Collection". ”
Connor lowered her head and gave Kyle a gentle slap under her desk.
Obviously, those two papers are theirs.
Originally, Connor was writing about conditioner, but when she saw Kyle write toothpaste with a confident face, she changed it, and it turned out to be the way it is.
"It's clear that you're not strong-willed......"
Kyle muttered, "And it's good to get a perfect score but you're going to be named." ”
"Now, let's get down to business......"
Lockhart put the roll aside and picked it up...... A book.
Originally, Lockhart had gotten some Cornish elves to surprise the young wizards who were going to take the class for the first time.
It was only yesterday in the second-grade class that he realized that this surprise was really too exciting, so that it turned into a fright.
The whole classroom was a mess with the elves, and even his own wand was thrown out the window.
He searched in the bushes for a long time yesterday under the pretext of helping to clean up the pests.
After that incident, Lockhart also knew that he probably couldn't handle those bells and whistles.
In addition, the third grade can be much more difficult to fool than the second grade.
So today he is ready to hold his hand.
And when the students saw the book "Traveling on the Same Boat with Vampires" in his hand, they all frowned, even those iron fans.
As soon as they saw the book, they couldn't help but think of the days last year when they were dominated by Professor Quirrell's "reading class", and the tip of their noses also faintly smelled of garlic.
"Merlin's beard...... I won't be reading again this year! Next to Kyle, a Gryffindor said bitterly.
And there are many others like him.
Lockhart was quick to tell them the answer.
The good news is that they don't need to be stupid anymore...... But the bad news is that they have to do it this time.
Lockhart weaved up a dramatic segment of his book for the students to act out as if it were some kind of offbeat stage play.
Honestly, it's better to read a book...... Unfortunately, Lockhart doesn't think so.
He probably thinks that this way of performing can better set off his bravery.
And the performance needs to have actors.
Lockhart's first thought was the most famous student in his class...... Kyle, who received the Order of Merlin, 2nd class.
"It must be a great feeling if he is the one who sets himself up."
"Oh, and that sophomore Harry Potter isn't bad either."
Lockhart thought so to himself, and did the same.
He calls Kyle to the podium and decides to have him play the vampire in the book.
"Professor, may I ask you a question before the performance?" Kyle said.
"Just ask, a hundred will do." Lockhart said he tucked his hair back and kept himself as close to the style as possible in the book.
Kyle flipped through the book Traveling on a Ship with a Vampire and glanced at it.
This paragraph...... You easily repelled the vampires that pounced on you with the Sunshine Charm......"
"But Professor, I'm curious...... What is the effect of the Sunshine Charm, and is it an enhanced version of the Illumination Charm? ”
"That's a new spell." Lockhart said with a smile, "The Illumination Charm doesn't give out that much light. ”
Time...... The Gryffindor students were fine, but Hufflepuff all looked at Mikel in the middle of the room.
They still remember it vividly...... When I first took Charms class two years ago, there was an explosion of light in the classroom.
If there really is a sunshine spell...... Probably that's not it.
But Mikel didn't know anything about it...... He had already fainted after reciting the spell, and he had no idea what was going on.
From the podium, Kyle continued, "Can you give us a demonstration?" ”
"Uh......" Lockhart became a little speechless, "Next time... This spell is not suitable for use in the classroom......"
"And what about this......" Kyle flipped through a few more pages, "you used the levitation charm to condense the sea and trap the vampire, this should be demonstrated." ”
Lockhart fell silent again.
But before it was over, Kyle continued to flip through the book and asked:
"Also, why are vampires not afraid of garlic, but of amulets soaked in garlic juice......"
"Why are you traveling by boat, isn't apparition bad?"
"And how did you manage to make the vampire eat only turnips......
"Is that vampire still alive now?"
"If it's still alive, have you considered publishing the method out there?
After all, solving their blood-sucking problem is equivalent to solving the problem that werewolves will transform on a full moon night, and you will receive the first-class medal of the Order of Merlin! ”
"That's right......"
Kyle really seemed ready to ask a hundred questions, and that series of whys made Lockhart's head a lot bigger.
This story was only stolen by him from an old wizard, and the only thing he did was to give the other party an oblivion charm, and a certain degree of artistic processing of the whole story, how could he know so many details.
Lockhart looked at the increasingly curious eyes of the people around him, and panicked in his heart, and quickly stopped Kyle, who was chattering.
"Alright, alright...... Close the book. ”
"I don't mind answering these questions, but the other students still have classes."
"It's just my homework for you, you might as well think about it for yourself. Of course, if you don't understand it by the end of the school year, I'll tell you the answer. ”
Lockhart cleverly brushes the matter along, then finds an excuse to kick Kyle back and replaces him with another honest-looking Hufflepuff wizard to accompany him in the stage play.
If Kyle stays any longer, maybe he'll ask something else, it's too risky.
