Primordial Warlock of Hogwarts

Chapter 126 Absurd Farce

The transition from vacation to school is only as short as an opening party. All students must sleep in the castle for one night and get used to a different rhythm of life the next day.

The debate about Lockhart continued between DeWitt and Hermione, and the final result was to wait until the first Defense Against the Dark Arts lesson began.

However, before Lockhart could wait for Lockhart's first class, a piece of news swept through the entire campus like a strong wind on the ice sheet.

It is said that a first-year Slytherin girl strangled the goblin used as a teaching aid in Gilderoy Lockhart's class.

No one can blame this little girl, because she completed the defense task very well, although she... found a different way.

What is worth paying attention to is Lockhart's performance. Other young wizards present said that "Lockhart was very scared", which became strong evidence for DeWitt - "Look, Hermione, that idiot is even afraid of the corpse of a goblin." , I’m afraid he would have to close his eyes to cut up a Florob caterpillar when preparing the potion, and he would be a pure waste.”

But Hermione still had hope. She insisted: "I have to see the actual evidence myself."

That was a hard drag, and it only lasted a few days until the first Defense Against the Dark Arts class in second grade.

When Gilderoy Lockhart walked into the classroom with his usual jubilant cock gesture, the outcome of the argument between DeWitt and Hermione was still unclear. When Lockhart announced that he would take the exam, Hermione Looking at DeWitt, he obviously felt that the quality of a teacher who was willing to take the exam was definitely not bad.

However, when the paper was placed in front of everyone, DeWitt knew that no more evidence was needed, just because all the questions on the paper were related to Gilderoy Lockhart's personal information-from Lockhart's favorite Color, on Lockhart's birthday, these questions made DeWitt so sick that he almost stood up and punched the old boy a few times. Is it worthy?DeWitt wanted to ask Lockhart, do you deserve to be remembered like this?

How qualified a teacher must be to make students focus on the teacher instead of knowledge?There is no doubt that Gilderoy Lockhart is cultivating a personality cult, and a cult of personality is something that even Dumbledore is trying to avoid.

DeWitt cast a winner's calm gaze at Hermione, but Hermione turned her head away and acted as if she saw nothing. She wrote each question randomly. DeWitt didn't say anything - the argument was just a joke. , Lockhart will only be a spice in the conversation between two people.

Back to the exam in class.

"I only give you...three 10 minutes," Lockhart said proudly, "There are still 15 minutes left before the end of this exam."

While talking, he walked around and leaned over to watch the students answer questions. Not only that, he would also make a dissatisfying "tsk tsk" sound, as if he had an abscess in his mouth and sucked the poisonous water out of the sore. It came out so disgusting.

When the time came, he collected the test papers one by one just like when he handed them out - no magic, just doing it by himself. This down-to-earth work spirit was really touching, and he announced that he would correct them in class.

This is really good, is the first Defense Against the Dark Arts lesson going to be wasted so pointlessly?Not only Hermione was muttering in a low voice, but even Ron, who didn't like to study the most, also had an opinion. He thought simply - it's one thing if I don't learn, but it won't work if the teacher doesn't teach.

Fortunately, there are no brain-consuming questions in these nonsense papers. Lockhart's correction speed is not slow, but it can't be called fast - yes, he still does it personally. When he finished correcting it, he rubbed his wrist and Lockhart stood. He stood up and said sadly:

"What a pity, everyone, no one can answer all the questions on the test paper correctly. Only one little wizard answered a few - who is Hermione Granger?"

Hermione covered her face with a book, lowered her head and slowly raised her hand. The height she raised was no more than her chin, but Lockhart still saw it.

"Good girl..." Lockhart praised happily, followed by a lot of words.

But for Hermione, for the first time in her life, she felt that it was a shame that she wrote the questions correctly and that she would be embarrassed by being praised - it was so embarrassing. She just finished writing the questions she knew as usual. Is this considered a mistake?Fortunately, Lockhart announced that Gryffindor had gained five points, which made Hermione feel that she was not too disadvantaged.

No one could have imagined that Lockhart would spend the next half hour telling all the answers to each question. No one would remember this kind of knowledge that would not be put to any use at any time.

Hermione pursed her lips and listened with difficulty. Instead of learning rubbish knowledge, she just didn't want her habit of listening carefully to be affected.

After finishing speaking, Lockhart took out a large cage covered with cloth from behind the podium.

"Now - beware! It is my job to teach you to defend yourself against the most evil things the wizarding world has ever known! You will face the most horrific things in this classroom. But remember, as long as I am here, you will not No harm will come to you. All I ask is that you remain calm."

The students who had heard about the goblins in the first-year Defense Against the Dark Arts class had expected it. Lockhart got the bonus of bringing "special teaching aids" to class, which caused a heated discussion and satisfied him, so he was in the second-year class. Do the same.

"I must ask you not to scream," said Lockhart in a low voice. "That will irritate them!"

The class held their breaths, and Lockhart lifted the hood.

"Yes," he said, standing in front of the curtain that had not yet been drawn, like a theater announcer, "a freshly caught Cornish elf."

The students' sneers made Lockhart feel that he was being despised. He looked down on these pointy-headed short ugly people, right? He thought vengefully.

"Well," shouted Lockhart, "let's see what you do with them!" He opened the cage door.

The naked green-skinned elves flapped their bat-like wings and rushed out of the cage like wild horses.Not to mention those who found other people, there were also those who wanted to provoke DeWitt. Every one of them was knocked away by the hard metal wand like a golf ball.

While knocking away the second elf, DeWitt thought of Lockhart, who was enjoying himself on the podium.The best-selling author was looking down at all the students with a look that said, "Now you know how awesome you are."It was too moist, so the next elf who was bounced changed direction and hit Lockhart's face, causing his nose to bleed. Not to be outdone, the elf wiped Lockhart's face Blood clawed furiously at Lockhart's hair and face.

He accidentally rescued Neville, who was grabbed by the ears by two elves and was about to take off. At this time, most of the students began to rush out of the classroom faster than the elves came out of the cage. Lockhart was no exception. He wanted to hide back in the office. .

"Hmph, you want to escape?" DeWitt used his wand and the door to the office was frozen and unable to be opened. Even if Lockhart grabbed the door handle and pushed the wall with his feet, it was useless.

When the students all ran out, Harry and Ron saw that DeWitt and Hermione hadn't moved, so they didn't plan to leave. Anyway, after being beaten several times by DeWitt, the elves knew that this was a tough problem and stopped approaching. , they watched the live broadcast of Lockhart and the office door being pulled together - and the elves hovering and sneaking around Lockhart like flies, presenting a gorgeous and funny drama.

"Professor!" Ron shouted, joining in the fun excitedly, "What are you doing, Professor!"
