Chapter 106: Lockhart's Affirmation
"You think so badly of me!
Theodore.
I don't like bullying the weak for nothing.
Stop talking, I have to go to the library. "
"To your Miss Know-It-All?"
Sabini winked and laughed.
Braun rolled his eyes angrily:
"Eating can't stop your mouth!"
As he spoke, he picked up a baguette with his backhand and stuffed it into Zabini's mouth.
He choked and rolled his eyes.
With great difficulty, he pulled out the baguette stuffed into his mouth.
When I looked again, Braun had long since disappeared.
Wait until Braun comes to the library.
There are not many people here yet.
Even Mrs. Pince went to eat.
There is only an elf here to help watch, not to let the students run around or eat in the library.
"Here!
Braun!"
Hermione yelled softly.
Braun came over with the book in his arms.
Hermione found a good location, somewhat similar to a separate deck.
It's not a lot of space, but it's more than enough to seat two people.
"You came so early, didn't you have much dinner?"
Braun pulled out the stool and sat down.
"Eat a little.
Tell me about that Transfiguration taught by Professor McGonagall!
I haven't practiced well after practicing for a long time. "
Hermione said impatiently.
At the same time, a glass bottle was taken out.
It contained several beetles crawling around.
"I've tried so many times, but I can't figure it out and now I'm a little bloated!"
Hermione said helplessly.
Compared with the difficulty of the last semester, the difficulty of the Transfiguration Art this semester is simply not at the same level.
become more and more difficult.
Even she, after a few practice sessions outside of class, had to come to Braun for help.
"You show me first and I can see where you are."
Braun pondered for a while and said.
Hermione nodded.
"Transform quickly!"
The wand lightly aimed at the beetle on the table.
I saw the shape of the beetle slowly changing.
Although the shape has become a button, it is still slowly crawling on the table.
"Look, it's always like this."
Hermione looked a little discouraged.
"You haven't figured out how the buttons work, Hermione.
You only care about the appearance!"
While 28 was talking, the button that was crawling on the table was cut in half.
I saw that except for the outermost layer, the structure inside the button was still the same as that of a beetle.
"Look, the inside hasn't changed yet.
I think you should understand those properties without me telling you.
What I want to talk to you about is mentality.
You're feeling a little anxious right now..."
Braun analyzed the problem with Hermione.
It didn't take long for Hermione to succeed.
That didn't surprise Braun.
The other party's Transfiguration was almost in contact with each other.
The basic knowledge is also very solid.
The reason why I haven't finished it is just because my mentality is a little anxious.
Even without herself, Hermione can do it with a little more research.
It's just a waste of time.
After talking about Transfiguration, the two of them started their homework again.
Talk in a low voice from time to time.
And there are more and more students in the library.
Some young wizards who just came to school don't know the rules of the library.
Quite a few were thrown out with a feather duster by Madam Pince for talking too loudly.
It was about eight o'clock.
The two left when the library was about to close.
"By the way, this is for you."
Braun handed over the crescent-shaped pendant.
Seeing Hermione's doubts, she explained:
"Brought it from Lockhart today.
It is a good protective prop, and keeping it can also protect your safety.
After hesitating for a moment, Hermione smiled and put the pendant into her pocket.
Two people can wave goodbye at the top of the stairs.
Braun went back to the lounge alone.
this time.
There are still a lot of people in the lounge.
Many little snakes are playing around in the lounge.
It is not known who brought back a salamander in the fireplace.
Zabini is luring it out with something to eat.
Theodore sat in front of the fireplace drinking pumpkin juice and practicing magic.
Daphne was chatting with some of Pansy.
Seeing Braun come in, he waved happily.
Braun greeted the little snakes.
Forced to talk about what happened in the afternoon.
Many little snakes who participated in the same grade as Braun, even danced and talked about the process.
It caused many little snakes in the first grade to look at Braun with admiration.
Only Malfoy and the others seemed a little disdainful.
However, his eyes kept turning to this side.
It could be seen that he didn't care so much.
We played until about ten o'clock.
At the request of the prefect, they returned to their respective dormitories to sleep.
Time always flies by sometimes.
Before Braun knew it, it was Friday.
And today, Braun finally ushered in his first Defense Against the Dark Arts class since the beginning of school.
The Slytherins took this lesson with the Eagles.
"You guys came early."
Braun said to Sabini and Theodore who were sitting in the back.
"How can you grab a seat if you don't come early?"
Sabine rolled his eyes.
"Braun, is there anyone else on your side?"
A somewhat soft voice asked.
"No, you sit down."
Braun smiled at Daphne.
After taking a herbal medicine class.
The relationship between Daphne and Braun became much closer.
They often sit together in class.
"You don't have a book?
Aren't you afraid that the professor will trouble you later?"
Daphne asked in surprise.
As he spoke, he put seven books on the table, causing the table to tremble slightly.
"Lockhart's book, there's nothing useful in it at all.
If you have that time, why not read the original Defense Against the Dark Arts textbook!"
Braun indifferently took out a book with a black cover.
This is the original Defense Against the Dark Arts textbook "Practical Defense Against the Dark Arts" at Hogwarts.
It was a book that Lupine bought when he was in the third grade.
Compared with the "Defense Against the Dark Arts: A Guide to Self-Defense" required by Quirrell in the first grade, it is more basic.
Among them, many dark creatures can be recognized.
It was also bought by Braun from Lihen Bookstore before school started.
It didn't take long for Lockhart to walk into the professor dressed up again.
Even Braun who sat behind could smell the perfume on his body.
"This guy is like a peacock in heat!"
Sabini complained mercilessly from the side.
"Hi everyone! Children!
I am your Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, Gilderoy Lockhart!"
While greeting everyone, Lockhart showed what he thought was the most charming smile.
His eyes flicked across the classroom and froze when he saw Braun again.
Looked very dissatisfied.
Just a few days ago, he was severely blackmailed by this nasty little wizard.
A thousand Galleons!
How many books does he have to sell to earn so much.
What's even worse is that the things on him are more than a thousand Galleons!
This shameless little wizard just wiped himself clean like this.
It's also a good name for taking advantage of yourself!
How shameless!
"Braun! Where's your book?
Why don't you bring a book?
Are you looking down on me as a professor..."
"Professor Lockhart, I just think the books are under the table."
Braun brought out a stack of books from under the table with a smile and placed it on the table.
See no trouble finding Braun.
Lockhart looked a little disappointed.
He snorted coldly:
"Next time remember to put the book on the table!
Do you understand?"
"Good professor!"
Braun was still smiling brightly.
As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person with your hand.
Even Lockhart had little recourse to continue targeting Braun.
I had to go back to the podium again and seemed a little depressed.
"Didn't you bring a book?"
Daphne looked a little confused.
She clearly saw Braun come in with only one book in his arms.
Why did you take out so many books all of a sudden?
This is unreasonable!
"Transfiguration, you must know how to use your brain, Daphne!"
Braun smiled and took down the top copy of "Walking with Trolls".
The content on the page is the content of "Defense Against the Dark Lord".
As for other books, it's just a realistic profile.
Seeing this, Daphne couldn't help being a little surprised.
Let's not talk about Braun's behavior of not bringing books to class.
Just from this transfiguration technique, it can be seen how high Braun's magic attainments are.
At least she can't catch up no matter what.
She hasn't finished turning the beetle into a button yet.
Lockhart, who was standing on the podium, soon regained his composure.
Looking at everyone with a smile.
"I think everyone should know me too!"
That's not true, the professors at Hogwarts are not as good as you, even Quirrell is better than you!
The little wizards secretly complained in their hearts.
There was even more disdain in his expression.
It's just that Lockhart has the right to pretend that he didn't see it.
Continue to introduce yourself with a smile on your face:
"I, Gilderoy Lockhart.
Recipient of the Order of Merlin, Third Class.
Honorary member of the Defense Against the Dark Arts Association, fighting those evil dark creatures all over the world.
Of course I don't like to mention these!
The honor that makes me most happy is actually that I have won the most charming smile award from "Witch Weekly" three times in a row. "
He held his arms high with a bright smile.
Then the smile faded and faded, and finally disappeared without a trace.
Because the little wizards present seemed to disrespect him very much.
Not only was there no expected applause, but everyone was discussing other things in low voices.
He even said that he heard a group of little snakes drawing a lottery for him!
"You say, how often will Lockhart be defeated by the magical creatures he unleashes this time?
10 minutes to 1
Twenty minutes one pays two
thirty minutes.…………"
"You! That's the one I bet on!
10 points off your school!
Then go find Filch after class and get your detention!"
Lockhart's hands were shaking with anger.
As for Shabini who was caught, his whole face collapsed.
He had no choice but to nod his head resignedly.
Seeing that my deduction has taken effect.
let these lawless
The little wizard finally started to get scared.
Lockhart finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Come take a test!
See if you have seriously read my book!
This is very important, I will give him extra points if he does well in the exam!"
Lockhart distributed the test papers in his hand to the little wizard one by one.
It's not that he doesn't want to use magic, but his magic has long been forgotten.
Except for the Oblivion Charm, which is not bad, the other spells are simply a mess.
Naturally, I dare not continue to show my ugliness.
But during this time he has started practicing spells in his office.
I believe it won't take long, and I should gradually become familiar with some basic spells.
"I'm going to close the roll in half an hour!
Let's get started!"
Hand out the last test paper.
Lockhart returned to the podium again, watching everyone.
Little wizards looked at each other, and finally looked at this extremely weird test paper.
After being helpless, he still lowered his head and picked up the quill.
It's just that these problems are really not very good.
Young wizards will definitely not waste time using [Eternal Memory] to memorize such useless things.
So I scratched my head and scratched my head one by one, looking around.
"A birthday and a secret ambition!"
"What is this?
He also wrote about why he left that Asian yeti in the end!
Is it because he can't satisfy the snowman?"
Theodore complained speechlessly.
"Okay, An Sheng is still here."
Braun glanced at Theodore and signaled him to pay attention.
"Sorry, Daphne."
Theodore said awkwardly.
"nothing.
These questions are indeed, not very serious.
It even has his favorite color.
I heard from my senior sister that he would ask us some weird questions in class.
But I didn't expect it to be so outrageous..."
The three of them sighed in unison.
Then I found Braun 003 who was writing hard.
"Merlin's red pants!
Have you memorized all these books with 【Eternal Memory】?"
Sabini couldn't help but exclaimed.
They didn't move a single question.
Braun has already written almost.
"Don't worry, I'm not that busy.
I just looked carefully, and then asked the seniors about Lockhart's question.
Basically those few.
Naturally I will know!"
The three looked at each other.
Then they all squeezed to Braun's side.
"Let me be healthy!"
"I also want!"
"+1!"
The one copied by three people is called a hot fire.
Braun didn't intend to stop him either.
Anyway, he himself knew about cheating, so he copied it.
These questions are just pointless garbage.
If it wasn't for extra points, he wouldn't even memorize more.
Thirty minutes passed quickly.
Many little wizards have not finished writing.
This is true even for the Eagles, who are known to love learning the most.
Seven books, although Lockhart's writing is very interesting.
But it is unrealistic to expect these eleven or twelve-year-old little wizards to hold their textbooks all day long.
It's only been a week since school started.
Even with the list issued by the school, it was only a week.
There is simply no way to finish reading seven books.
If they can answer it, there will be ghosts.
Of course Hogwarts is haunted.
But they really couldn't answer.
The test papers were taken back one by one by Lockhart.
Just accepting the answer did not satisfy him.
Most are blank.
The few answers that went up did not write down the point.
This made him very dissatisfied.
"I remember I said it in my "Magic Me".
I grew up in a Muggle family.
My most anticipated ambition is for wizards and Muggles to live in peace.
Why don't you remember.....
No, one person still remembers!
Daphne!
Who is Miss Daphne Greengrass?"
Daphne stood up from the back seat.
"Very well! Miss Daphne remembers my ambition!
It seems that you really read my book seriously!"
Lockhart said happily.
Daphne looked a little embarrassed.
She also didn't expect that other little wizards were so good, and none of them answered!
Fortunately, she was smart enough not to copy all of Braun's, otherwise it would be miserable.
Meet Lockhart's expectant eyes.
She stammered:
"Um, that's right, Professor, I've read it carefully!
I like your book very much... "I Can Be Magical"!
That's right!"
"Very well! Miss Daphne, Slater and Cent!"
Lockhart nodded in satisfaction.
I started to rummage through the test paper again.
Then the expression became even more surprised.
"My God! And this!
Monsieur Zabini and Monsieur Theodore! Who are they?"
Compared to Daphne's shyness.
These two people were obviously more calm.
Or shameless.
"Only you guys remember my favorite color is lilac!.
