Chapter 278: I Thank You
"Did you mean to ......" Connor asked quietly as Kyle returned to his seat.
Kyle spreads his hands.
Needless to say, it must have been deliberate. He was crazy to accompany Lockhart in a stage play...... And he still plays a supporting role.
However, look at the little wizard on the podium who jumped up and down because he was chosen to play the role of a vampire...... He must be quite happy.
That's good, too.
The bell rang for the end of class, and Lockhart stood up.
"Homework: Write a hymn to my role in transacting vampires! The best writer will get a couple of copies of "I Can Magic" signed by me! ”
"I'd rather write a three-foot paper." Kyle muttered quietly, gathered his things and left the classroom.
Connor nodded.
Ever since she met Cedric, her impression of Professor Lockhart had become less than good.
Add to that the paper thirty minutes before class, and Lockhart's clumsy performance in handling the photograph......
As you can imagine, there won't be any surprises in their next Defence Against the Dark Arts lessons.
"I'm kind of nostalgic for Professor Oren......" Connor whispered on the way to the auditorium.
"Oron?" Kyle was a little surprised.
"Why don't you go to the school hospital and have a look." He touched Connor's forehead, "You were almost killed by him in the Forbidden Forest, and you still miss him?" ”
"I've figured it out a long time ago."
Connor slapped Kyle's hand away and said with a smile, "Oron was looking for Ling, I was just unlucky and happened to catch up."
If he comes again, I'll just have to stay away from you. ”
"You're so smart!" Kyle said angrily, "Then have you ever thought about what I will do when he Oron comes back." ”
"I'm sure you'll have a way." Connor rightfully said, "After all, you're the smartest person I've ever met." ”
"Thank you so much." Kyle pouted, "But forget it, I suddenly found out that Lockhart is pretty good, at least the stage shows are pretty good." ”
The two talked and laughed all the way to the auditorium.
After a while, Cedric also came, and he changed into a new robe, and also washed the mud from his hair.
"How's Lockhart?" Cedric asked, "We're going to have Defence Against the Dark Arts tomorrow morning." ”
"You have to be mentally prepared." Connor shook her head, "It's about the same as last year." ”
As soon as she said that, Cedric understood.
Well, it's another reading class.
But Cedric didn't understand that if that was the case, why not make the fat friar a professor...... This way they can also save money on books.
Or Nicol, who almost lost his head...... Under the influence of the Defence Against the Dark Arts curse, maybe his head will be cut off completely.
This is also the fulfillment of his long-cherished wish.
"By the way, this is for you." Kyle handed Cedric a piece of parchment.
"What is this?"
Cedric looked at the contents of the parchment, and everyone was confused......
What is Lockhart's favorite color?
Why should he know this kind of thing.
"It's a class test."
Kyle explained, "I guess every grade will have it in the first class, you can take a look at it in advance, if you write it all correctly, you can add points to the house." ”
"How many ......"
"Ten points." Kyle said, "But it will be named." ”
"The score is good value and acceptable ......"
"He may also be dragged by him to perform a stage play."
“…… But we Hufflepuff don't lack that point! ”
……
I don't know if it was because of Kyle's performance in Defence Against the Dark Arts class that he didn't see Professor Lockhart once for a few days afterward.
And when he went to class again, he was not named again.
Lockhart seemed to be deliberately avoiding him, but it felt good.
But compared to Kyle, Harry's treatment is completely different.
Lockhart seemed to be focusing all his attention on him, and they had met several times in the hallway in the past few days.
Harry had to keep an eye on his surroundings and duck as soon as he saw Lockhart coming from the other side of the hallway.
And not only Lockhart, but Harry also had to hide from the freshman, Colin Creevey, this little witch was like memorizing his entire class schedule, whether it was in class or going to the auditorium, he could always run into it.
He hears at least six or seven times a day, "How are you?" Harry. ”
…… And then back to the same number of times, "Hello, Colin." ”
And so it goes, until the weekend.
At breakfast that day, Kyle suddenly asked, "Does the Quidditch team need to recruit new players this year?" ”
"No, but we need to find a couple of substitutes to prepare for next year." "Three people, including Harris, are in seventh grade this year," Cedric said.
You're also part of the team, why don't you care at all? ”
"If I hadn't been careful, I wouldn't have asked."
Kyle took a sip of milk, "But I've got twelve classes to take, and those assignments...... I don't have time to think about anything else. ”
"That's right." Cedric shrugged.
Kyle's full schedule he'd seen it.
While Kyle doesn't need to take those time-conflicting classes, it takes time to study on his own, and his homework is noticeably higher than the others.
"But what do you say...... Kyle frowned, "do we have three seventh-graders on our team?" ”
"Well, two chasers and goalkeepers, they're both in the same class, and they're graduating next year."
Cedric said: "But the good news is that Harris seems to have been offered an offer by the Flacca Eagles to become a professional Quidditch player. ”
"Really?" Kyle was stunned for a moment, "Did Harris tell you?" How I didn't hear about it. ”
"It's not him." Cedric shook his head, "Remember the Quidditch tournament I went to watch on vacation?" ”
"Vratsa Eagles and Chadri Artillery?"
"That's right." Cedric laughed: "My dad is very good friends with one of the Eagles players, and they accidentally mentioned this while chatting.
After learning that I was also a Hufflepuff, the other party asked me if I knew Harris. ”
"That's really good news." Kyle lamented, "Harris didn't reveal anything about it. ”
"I think he was probably worried that he wouldn't be able to pass the final test."
"Maybe we can win another Quidditch Cup this year."
Kyle said: "Captaining three consecutive championships should be a good resume. ”
"That's what I thought, too, but Harris himself doesn't seem to care about it at all."
Cedric smiled helplessly, "The Gryffindors started training early this morning, but he went to Hogsmeade with the others. ”
"Okay...... It's really Harris. ”
Kyle chuckled, "But with his strength, it shouldn't be difficult to get into a professional team." ”
