Chapter 188 Story Meeting
By dinner time, everyone was aware of the drama in Defense Against the Dark Arts.
Gilderoy Lockhart has never appeared in the Great Hall, either because he was afraid of being asked, or because the injury on his hand has not healed yet.
Students from the four colleges were talking about it.
Although Lockhart was annoying before, most people still recognized his strength. After all, he had been certified by the Ministry of Magic and the Defense Against the Dark Arts.
So after hearing that he was actually bitten by an elf, many people felt incredible.
"Maybe he was just careless... He just wanted to show intimacy at the time, right? And he didn't even pull out the wand."
Hermione analyzed it rigorously, not that she wanted to speak for Lockhart, but after experiencing the Philosopher's Stone incident last semester, she would subconsciously think more about it when looking at problems.
However, Ron, or most Gryffindors, would not think so much. They had already decided that Lockhart was a reputation-seeking person.
"Come on, Hermione," Ron waved his hand and said disdainfully: "Lockhart is a liar. You can't think that he is a good professor just because he praised you in class."
"I don't think he is a good professor!"
Hermione glared at Ron angrily, as if she was insulted.
"I'm just reminding you not to draw conclusions about a person easily. Think of Quirrell and Snape last semester!"
After saying that, she picked up her dinner plate and ran to Fish.
"Hermione's right."
Compared with Ron, who had passed out early, Harry, who had experienced more behind the trap door last semester, actually listened to it.
He said to Ron who was still mumbling: "We can't think of Lockhart as an ignorant guy so easily...although he is indeed very annoying."
"Okay, okay..." Ron shrugged, but he still insisted on his opinion and teased in a flirtatious tone: "Then I will just look forward to the next Defense Against the Dark Arts class. I hope Loha will be there by then."
Te’s hand is already healed.”
Mentioning this matter, even Harry couldn't help but smile on his face.
"It should be no problem. Madam Pomfrey's medical skills are very powerful. Besides..."
Harry teased: "Didn't Lockhart also brag about his medical skills?"
Even though he agreed with Hermione's statement, Harry still believed that Lockhart was a liar, just like Ron.
Such disagreements occurred everywhere in the auditorium. There were many people who thought Lockhart was a vain person, and those who thought Lockhart just made a mistake. So gradually, everyone began to look forward to Lockhart's next Defense Against the Dark Arts class.
Come.
As long as there is another Defense Against the Dark Arts class without Fish, everyone should be able to find out Lockhart's true level.
But it is a pity that Lockhart felt that the injury on his hand was detrimental to his grace, so he refused to appear in front of others until the wound was completely healed.
The elf's saliva seems to have some special ingredients. It is not difficult to heal, but it will take some time to completely remove the scar...
In fact, Madam Pomfrey didn't want to bother with this at all, and it wasn't a serious injury, but Lockhart was considered a colleague anyway, so she had no choice but to pinch his nose and prescribe him a potion to remove the scar.
As a result, Lockhart was not very satisfied because the medicine prescribed by Madam Pomfrey was a bit strong and spicy when applied, and he was worried that it would harm his skin.
When he made further demands, hoping to change to an ointment that was more in line with his wishes, Madam Pomfrey finally couldn't bear it and kicked him out.
While Lockhart was waiting for the scar to disappear, the task of teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts temporarily fell to other professors.
To be precise, it is on the heads of the four major deans.
In short, if the dean's course does not conflict with the Defense Against the Dark Arts class of the day, the dean will temporarily take over that class.
Over the past few days, students of different grades from different colleges experienced the Defense Against the Dark Arts classes taught by Professor Flitwick, Professor McGonagall, and Professor Sprout.
In addition to Professor Snape, who temporarily took over the Defense Against the Dark Arts class last semester, everyone has experienced the courses taught by the four deans.
Among them, the one that has received wide acclaim is none other than the course taught by Professor Flitwick.
Needless to say, Professor Snape’s classes are not liked by students from any house except Slytherin.
The courses taught by Professor McGonagall and Professor Sprout vary according to situation. The senior students are full of praise, while the evaluation of the lower students is not as good as Professor Flitwick...
But there is nothing that can be done about it. The Defense Against the Dark Arts class in the lower grades mainly teaches students about some dangerous creatures and curses. The old-fashioned Professor McGonagall and the law-abiding Professor Sprout basically follow the instructions.
But even so, it was much better than the stuttering Quirrell and the injured Lockhart after only one class.
Professor Flitwick's courses are much more flexible. As Professor of Charms and Head of Ravenclaw, he prefers to let students do a lot of practice, which naturally makes him more popular with younger students.
"Who do you think will teach us today?"
Soon, Harry and the others were about to have their second Defense Against the Dark Arts class, and everyone was discussing it with great interest.
As for observing Lockhart's reality...is it that important?
"I hope it's Professor Flitwick," Seamus said excitedly: "The first and second-year students who have taken his class have very high evaluations!"
"As long as it's not Snape."
Neville's request was not high, and Harry on the side nodded in agreement.
"What are you talking about?"?w?
Fish, who never pays attention to these things, looked at Harry and others who were having a heated discussion with confusion.
Dean quickly explained it to Fish, but Fish didn't look very happy.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! He is still waiting for Lockhart to tell him a story!
"Gilderoy isn't coming, nya? And it could be Minerva?"
∑(●ΦДΦ●)
So, doesn't it mean that he may not even be able to sleep?
It's so bad!
Just when everyone was full of expectations and Fish was worried, the door to the classroom was pushed open violently, and Lockhart strode in with a smile on his face. His bitten hand, not to mention scars, Not even a red mark can be seen.
"Long time no see! My lovely students! I kept you waiting for a long time!"
The students below all groaned in annoyance, and Seamus hit his brain heavily on the table with a "thud".
Only Feishu clapped her hands excitedly.
"Professor Gilderoy! We're going to tell stories today, nya?!"
(●?w?●)
Fish stared at Lockhart with burning eyes and asked expectantly.
"Aha!"
Lockhart tapped Fish twice with his fingers and said happily: "I even suspected that you used Legilimency on me... That's right! Let everyone follow the great Gilderoy Lohar today. Join us and enjoy his thrilling adventure!"
The students below looked bored and showed no reaction. Only Fei Xu applauded him and clapped his hands.
Lockhart became even more excited after being encouraged by Fish. He first bowed in different directions like a stage actor, as if everyone else was applauding.
"Thank you! Thank you!"
After straightening up, Lockhart raised his voice again, pointed at Fish and said, "As a thank you, Fish will choose today's course. This is a special bonus! What do you want to hear?"
"Werewolf! Fish wants to hear werewolf stories, meow!"
?(●ΦwΦ●)?
Fish immediately responded that although he understood that he was different from Minerva, he would still be interested in humans who could transform into different animals.
"Ah, "Wandering with Werewolves"!" With Fish as a supporter, Lockhart's performance was extremely stable. "This is probably the book I am most satisfied with."
In fact, he is most satisfied with anything written by himself.
Harry and others watched the interaction between Lockhart and Fish with helpless expressions. They wanted to remind him, but seeing the expectant look on the kitten's face, they couldn't bear to expose his fantasy...
That's all, as long as Feixu is happy.
In the end, everyone could only reluctantly accompany Fish to listen to Lockhart bragging.
