Chapter 140 Lockhart’s level made Les’s eyes dark.

Hermione didn't sleep well that night.

As soon as she returned to the lounge, she couldn't wait to read the parchment scroll that Mrs. Spector gave her, and she stayed up all night reading it.

The knowledge inside was so new and magical that she was completely addicted to it and couldn't extricate herself.

After one night, Hermione memorized almost every word on the parchment, and even tried it on a small scale. The control of magic power recorded above is a little difficult, but she is confident that she can master it by next Monday.

When I see Ms. Specter again next Monday, I must give her a surprise!

However, although she was full of pride in her heart, the reality was skinny. After staying up all night, Hermione couldn't concentrate on her class during the day. Her upper and lower eyelids were fighting, and the scene in front of her gradually became blurry.

She closed her eyes, and after a few seconds, she overcame her biological instinct and tried her best to open them, making it look like she was blinking rather than asleep - but the interval was a little longer, so she really wasn't asleep.

From time to time, Hermione would yawn, perhaps because she exhaled a large amount of carbon dioxide when yawning. Every time she yawned, the little witch would briefly wake up for a few seconds, and then be enveloped in sleep again.

Professor Sprout, who taught Herbology, noticed the sleepy Hermione. This always amiable witch was uncharacteristically different today, with a hint of sullenness on her face. Even the smart little wizard could guess that this was related to the bandage on her arm.

In fact, a few hours ago, Professor Sprout had just experienced the most thrilling scene in his life.

The flying car driven by Harry and Ron lost power when it flew over Hogwarts. As a result, they failed to land safely on the flat lawn in front of the castle, but suddenly rushed to the forbidden area. In the forest, he bumped into an ancient tree called "The Whomping Willow".

The two little wizards were fine, but the Whomping Willow was seriously injured, which required Professor Sprout to appear. As the Master of Herbology at Hogwarts, she is very good at healing plants, even rare plants like the Whomping Willow.

It stands to reason that she only needs to cast a few simple spells to heal the Whomping Willow, but unfortunately she is targeted by Lockhart.

After learning that the Whomping Willow is a very precious ancient tree with a long history, he did not hesitate to find Professor Sprout and pestered her to go with him to treat the Whomping Willow. He patted his chest and promised that it would take him "just one second" to solve the Whomping Willow problem. Then Professor Sprout made a decision that he would regret for the rest of his life: take Lockhart with him.

At first, Professor Sprout thought Lockhart was a nice guy! As a result, when she pressed the "pause button" on the Whomping Willow and stood under the willow tree to heal it, Lockhart activated the Whomping Willow with a recovery spell.

At that time, Professor Sprout didn't even have time to feel any emotions when he was blown away by the Whomping Willow. If she hadn't been really good at it, she would have died under this tree.

After escaping from the Whomping Willow's attack range, even Professor Sprout, who was usually known for his good temper, couldn't stand Lockhart anymore. She angrily scolded Lockhart and told him to keep a distance from her. Lockhart walked away a few steps without saying a word. But looking at his expression, he didn't realize how much trouble he had just caused. What else could he do? Keep smiling!

Seeing Lockhart's appearance, Professor Sprout was about to be furious, but he had no room to explode. At most, he could write a letter of complaint to Dumbledore, but this could not do anything to Lockhart. Now a ball of anger was suppressed in her heart, and even a class could not extinguish the anger in her heart.

When she saw Hermione Granger looking like she was about to fall asleep, she was furious. She knew it was wrong to vent her anger on the students, but she just couldn't help it - Hermione happened to be He is from the same academy as Lockhart.

"Miss Granger, Miss Granger!" Professor Sprout shouted several times before Hermione responded.

"What did I just say?" Professor Sprout's eyes fell on Hermione's dark circles.

Hermione: "Uh..."

"Five points from Ravenclaw. I was just saying that Mandrake can be used to make a powerful restorative that can be used to restore people who have been transformed or cursed to their original state."

Hermione lowered her head and tried to suppress her desire to yawn.

"The summer vacation is over now! You have to get out of it as soon as possible!" Professor Sprout warned the little wizards before continuing to teach.

Rice looked thoughtfully at Hermione who was barely cheering up and didn't know when she would fall asleep again. Then he took out a small bottle from his pocket and used magic to drive it towards Hermione.

"A magic potion to refresh your mind, but make sure you remember to go to bed early tonight."

"Thank you." Hermione thanked her and waved to the bottle, and the bottle flew into her hand.

Les:? !

Damn it, Hermione just used her magic to "suck" the bottle into her hand!

Is it a coincidence or...

Rhys looked at Hermione and thought of the crystal ball that Ravenclaw gave to Daphne last semester.

Now, the entire herbal medicine class seemed boring.

Rice's potion worked well. After Hermione drank it, it was like taking a big gulp of ice-cold mint lemon juice. Her sleepiness disappeared instantly, and she didn't yawn again during the whole class.

After class, Les met up with Hermione.

"Hermione, that bottle just now..."

"Thank you for the potion, I'm leaving first!" Hermione thrust the empty bottle into Les's hand and ran away quickly.

The little girl didn't think too much, she just wanted to go back and practice more magic control - in the herbal medicine class just now, Hermione successfully used magic to suck Les's potion bottle into her hand, achieving her own breakthrough. Now she wants to go back to the castle and strike while the iron is hot while the feeling is good.

Rice, who couldn't ask anything, vaguely guessed the inside story.

The old friend from back then was making moves again... Les's mood improved a lot because of this.

His good mood continued until Defense Against the Dark Arts this afternoon.

After Lockhart made a lengthy self-introduction to the Slytherin and Ravenclaw students in the audience, he took out a stack of test papers from under the podium.

"Before I start today's lecture, I want to take a small test first. Don't be afraid, just to see how good you are." He said as he handed out the test paper.

Hearing that Lockhart decided to take a pre-class quiz, Les perked up: This is a very clever teaching method, which can effectively find out the level of students and facilitate teachers to teach students in accordance with their aptitude. Could it be that...

However, when Les saw the questions on the paper, his eyes suddenly darkened: the first question on the paper clearly said——

[What is Gilderoy Lockhart's favorite color? 】

The first update is here, the second update will be here soon~

Hermione's description of being very sleepy is a portrayal of me at noon - the company will have a regular meeting during the lunch break, and every time I am very sleepy, I rely on this method to survive
