Chapter 278 Lockhart's Play

"Tsk tsk...unexpected..."

Half an hour later, Lockhart collected the test papers and flipped through them on the spot.

"Many people remember that I like lilac, which is good...but why don't you remember that my greatest achievement so far is to win the "Wizard Weekly" Most Charming Smile Award five times, I just said it."

He winked at the students again.

Although a small number of die-hard fans immediately covered their chests with their hands, breathing rapidly, their eyes blurred, and showed an expression as if they had drunk fake wine, most people still didn't buy his tricks.

Gryffindor's Katie Bell sat in front of Connor. When Lockhart spoke, she lowered her head, shrugged her shoulders, and laughed so hard that her whole body trembled.

And Mikel and Ryan also had a hard time holding back.

"But..."

Lockhart's voice suddenly became much higher, "Miss Mirelle Sinise knows that my birthday is January 26th... Good girl!"

"In fact..." He turned the paper over, "One hundred points, where is this excellent little witch?"

A trembling hand was raised from the front row, and it was the student who was chosen by Kyle at first sight.

"Excellent!" Lockhart said with a smile: "Very good! Give Gryffindor ten points!"

"It's a pity for two other students, they only answered fifty-three questions correctly."

Lockhart took out two papers,

"I think they should read "Walking with Trolls" carefully again... I clearly stated in Chapter 9 of the book that my secret ambition is to eliminate evil in the world and sell my own series of hair conditioners... not toothpaste.

But toothpaste is also a good choice, I will consider adding it to the "Lockhart Series"."

Kanna lowered her head and gently hit Kyle under the desk.

Obviously, the two test papers were theirs.

Connor originally wrote "hair conditioner", but when she saw Kyle confidently write "toothpaste", she changed it, and the result became what it is now.

"It's obviously your own weak will..."

Kyle muttered quietly: "And you will be called out if you get full marks, so this is good."

"Now, let's get back to the point..."

Lockhart put the test paper aside, and then picked up... a book.

Originally, Lockhart got some Cornish elves to give a surprise to the little wizards who were attending the class for the first time.

But yesterday in the second grade class, he found that the surprise was really too exciting, so that it turned into a shock in the end.

The whole classroom was messed up by those elves, and even his own wand was thrown out of the window.

He searched for a long time in the bushes yesterday under the pretext of helping to clean up pests.

After that incident, Lockhart also realized that he probably couldn't do those fancy operations.

In addition, third graders are much harder to fool than second graders.

So today he was going to play it safe.

When the students saw the book "Traveling with Vampires" in his hand, they all frowned, even the die-hard fans.

As soon as they saw the book, they couldn't help but think of the days dominated by Professor Quirrell's "reading class" last year, and a faint smell of garlic wafted to their noses.

"Merlin's beard... I won't have to read again this year!" A Gryffindor next to Kyle said painfully.

And there are many people like him.

Lockhart quickly told them the answer.

The good news is that they don't need to read stupidly... but the bad news is that they have to act this time.

Lockhart compiled the content of his book into a dramatic segment and asked the students to act it out, just like some kind of alternative stage play.

To be honest, this is not as good as reading... but Lockhart doesn't think so.

He probably thinks that this way of acting can better highlight his bravery.

And acting requires actors.

The first person Lockhart thought of was the most famous student in the class... Kyle, who had won the Order of Merlin, Second Class.

"It would be great if he could set off me."

"Oh, and that second-year Harry Potter is also good."

Lockhart thought so in his heart and did it.

He called Kyle to the podium and decided to let him play the vampire in the book.

"Professor, can I ask you a question before the performance?" Kyle said.

"Ask as many as you want, a hundred of them are fine." Lockhart said, he gathered his hair to make himself as close to the style in the book as possible.

Kyle casually opened the book "Traveling with Vampires" and glanced at it.

"In this part... you used the Sunshine Charm to easily repel the vampire that rushed over..."

"But professor, I'm curious... what is the effect of the Sunshine Charm? Is it an enhanced version of the Illumination Charm?"

"That's a new spell." Lockhart said with a smile: "The Illumination Charm can't emit such a bright light."

For a moment... the Gryffindor students were fine, but all the Hufflepuffs looked at Mikel in the middle of the classroom.

They still remember clearly... the explosive light that suddenly appeared in the classroom when they had their first spell class two years ago.

If there really is a Sunshine Charm... it's probably just like this.

But Mikel didn't know anything about it... he fainted after reciting the spell and didn't know what happened next.

On the podium, Kyle continued to ask: "Can you demonstrate it to us?"

"Um..." Lockhart became a little speechless: "Next time... this spell is not suitable for use in the classroom..."

"What about this..." Kyle flipped through a few more pages, "You used a floating spell to condense the seawater and trap the vampire. This should be able to be demonstrated."

Lockhart fell silent again.

But it wasn’t over yet. Kyle continued to flip through the book and asked:

"Also, why are vampires not afraid of garlic, but afraid of amulets soaked in garlic juice..."

"Why are you traveling by boat? Isn't it bad to Apparate?"

"Also, how did you make the vampire only eat carrots..."

"Is that vampire still alive?"

“Have you considered publishing the method if it’s still alive?

After all, solving the problem of their blood-sucking is equivalent to solving the problem of werewolves transforming on a full moon night. You will receive the First Class Medal of Sir Merlin! "

"correct……"

Kyle seemed really ready to ask a hundred questions, and the series of whys made Lockhart's head feel a lot bigger.

He just stole this story from an old wizard. The only thing he did was to give the other person a forgetting spell, and he also performed a certain degree of artistic processing on the entire story. How could he know so many details.

Lockhart looked at the increasingly curious eyes of the people around him. He felt panicked and quickly stopped Kyle who was chattering.

"Okay, okay... close the book."

"Although I don't mind answering these questions, other students have to attend class."

"Just think of it as the homework I assigned you, and 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 will tell you the answer."

Lockhart cleverly exposed the matter, and then found a reason to drive Kyle back, and replaced him with another, seemingly honest little Hufflepuff wizard, to accompany him in the stage play. .

If Kyle is allowed to stay any longer, he might ask something else. The risk is too great.
