Chapter 59 The mysterious power from the East, Lockhart returns!

"...Oh, of course, this shows that you are very popular with the students, doesn't it? My fans often give me such gifts. The fondant on the cake last time was even dancing..."

Professor Dumbledore frowned when he saw Lockhart pick up the table knife, and silently moved his hand towards the Elder Wand. However, before he could take action, Lockhart's knife had already cut quickly.

It doesn't matter, you can still fix it by controlling your magic power and repairing it as before.

Just when Professor Dumbledore was thinking this, the cut fondant suddenly changed slightly:

The group of small badger-shaped fondant decorations suddenly turned into green spheres during distortion, and each one was growing rapidly. Professor Sprout, who was still immersed in shock and sadness, was stunned. Why does the ball look so familiar, a bit like...Chinese biting cabbage?

The whole transformation process is not long. In less than three seconds, the first Chinese biting cabbage has grown to mature size and opened its mouth.

The professors sitting next to Lockhart couldn't help but move back to the sides, but Lockhart, who was immersed in sharing how delicious the cake his fans gave him, didn't notice this.

In order to make the action of cutting into the fondant shaped like Professor Sprout less deliberate, Lockhart deliberately did not look at the cake when he operated the knife, so that he could use the excuse of not seeing it to excuse himself, but now he was This behavior came with a price.

"Click——"

“Ahhhhhh——!!!”

The crisp sound seemed to be the breaking of some hard object. He felt a sharp pain in the palm of his hand holding the table knife. Lockhart turned his head with a distorted face. Unexpectedly, he saw... a cabbage?

Lockhart: "???"

At the end of his memory, Lockhart vaguely seemed to see a... no, at least a dozen cabbages flying towards him and opening their abyssal maws.

Seeing the chaos at the teacher's desk, the magic circle in Adam's palm slowly dissipated...

Feel the mysterious power from the East!

The flower card that can transform Chinese biting cabbage was something he discovered in Greenhouse No. 3. Come to think of it, who said the flowers of magical plants are not flowers? Moreover, the flower of Chinese biting cabbage actually has a mouth with sharp teeth. Adam was even a little curious about how they were pollinated, but after thinking about it carefully, he chose to ignore this problem.

…

"I regret to tell you that your Professor Lockhart will have to stay in the hospital wing for at least half a month to grow his nose again, so..."

Professor Snape, who used his wand to pull up the curtains all the way, turned around with his cloak gathered around the podium, looked at the students below and twitched his lips.

Adam guessed that Professor Snape was probably like him, controlling himself not to laugh.

"Now, throw away the garbage on your desk and look ahead."

Professor Snape waved his wand, and the projection cloth in front of the classroom hung down.

After class, Bernard packed up his notes, picked up his bag and sighed:

"Professor Snape is really awesome. Why not let him teach us Defense Against the Dark Arts all the time? I remember Cedric mentioned it when talking about the legend of Defense Against the Dark Arts. Professor Snape always thought Become a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor."

"Maybe it's because Professor Snape's ability in Potions is so irreplaceable."

Adam said while sorting out the notes in his shorthand quill pen:

"As for part-time positions, it's okay for several professors to take turns teaching as they do now. It would be too scary for a professor to take two courses."

Even if two colleges in one grade can take classes together, there are four colleges in seven grades, and one compulsory course professor originally gave fourteen classes a week, but two classes would make up to twenty-eight classes. Who can bear this?

"Speaking of which, Adam, you are so awesome. You can make a woo-woo sound in a cake——"

Cologne was covered by Uther mid-sentence:

"Although every professor except Lockhart should have guessed what happened, it's better not to say it so openly."

Although Professor Dumbledore seriously called Adam forward that day to ask what was going on, he let him pass without questioning the explanation given by Adam.

In order to prevent Professor Sprout's fondant from being destroyed by bad guys, he set up anti-theft magic or something... Uther felt ridiculous just thinking about it.

But when Adam said this, he looked confident - who would be a good person who would think of cutting Professor Sprout on top of that warm fondant?

Professor Dumbledore was questioned on the spot, especially since Professor Sprout himself was standing nearby.

The cake matter was settled. Professor Dumbledore disposed of the Chinese biting cabbage, sent Lockhart, whose face was covered with blood, to the hospital wing, and repaired Professor Sprout's fondant. Sprout The professor was in a good mood and gave him a large piece of cake.

Professor Dumbledore, who had been shown off, did not expect to see two Fawkes when he returned to the office. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that one of them was fondant... so he was shown off again.

The old principal, who unsuccessfully tried to ask for a bite of Fox's fondant version, thought of the delicious cake he had just eaten, and suddenly became greedy on the tip of his tongue and hungry in his stomach. He began to think about how big the principal and the fourth hospital should order the next time he asked Adam to order a banquet. Long style fondant.

It will be okay for him to eat his own fondant then, right?

Although many people hoped that Lockhart could stay in the hospital wing, Madam Pomfrey's professionalism was unquestionable, and Lockhart returned to his post in less than half a month.

Adam and the others also had to usher in their first Defense Against the Dark Arts class with Lockhart.

"Students, I'm glad to see you all——"

Lockhart's bright smile couldn't be stretched for a moment when he saw Adam, and his nose and bones felt phantom pain. However, he was able to maintain his five-time winner of the "Wizard Weekly" Most Charming Smile Award. smile.

"Ahem, let me introduce myself belatedly. Due to a small accident, I had to trouble my colleagues to teach you a few lessons on my behalf... But I believe that in these few lessons, everyone should have already understood I have a certain understanding, right?"

Lockhart rubbed his hands and looked around, but found that there were no works of his on everyone's table:

"...I remember that your textbook this year is my work. Where is the book?"

The students looked at each other for a while, then looked at Lockhart:

"Professor Lockhart, you didn't inform us that you were in class today, so we didn't bring it."

"Varied--"

Lockhart's lips twitched. This class was his first class back, and he really didn't know about it. It took Lockhart a while to find his voice:

"Then how did you take classes during this period?"

Wouldn't the professors who were teaching him use his Defense Against the Dark Arts class to teach their own subjects?

"The professors used projectors and blackboards to teach us the content of "Theory of Magical Defense."

The students replied.

"Oh... Well, yes, it is a book of some standard, but it is too boring."

Lockhart racked his brains and couldn't remember what was said in the "Magical Defense Theory". The time at Hogwarts was too long ago for him, but it didn't matter, he didn't use that book as a teaching material.

"Believe me, everyone will definitely be able to learn knowledge while having fun."

Lockhart was somewhat glad that he had brought his books with him. He picked up a copy of "Breaking with the Female Ghost" and looked at it with the same smile on his face as on the cover.

"Has anyone volunteered to play Wan Lun's female ghost?"

Hufflepuff and Slytherin, who were waiting for him to start the official class: "???"
