Chapter 126
Chapter 127 Wan Lun Female Ghost
“It was a deserted swamp, with an old castle standing in it. It looked mysterious and ancient, giving people an eerie feeling.……”
Under Lockhart’s instructions, the eaglets reluctantly recited the contents of the book”Breaking with the Ghost” aloud
“……The female ghost Wan Lun was sealed in this castle. Suddenly, a piercing scream came from the castle……”
Lockhart gestured for a pause. He picked up Padma, who was sitting in the front row, and said,”You, it’s you.”
Padma was surprised that she was named by her idol. She hurriedly stood up and pointed at herself and said:”Professor, please tell me if you have any instructions.””
“Please perform that scream,” Lockhart smiled, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was so lucky. It seems that this little witch is his fan, and this class will go much smoother.
Padma is obedient. Head, she opened her mouth and took a deep breath
“ah!!”
Everyone hurriedly covered their ears. Padma’s voice was sharp and harsh, like someone scratching a blackboard with nails.
Lockhart, who was closest to her, couldn’t stand it anymore and quickly covered her mouth.
“But, that’s all,” Lockhart said with a smile,”Thank you for your performance. Padma sat back with a blushing face. She had just come into close contact with her idol!
Lockhart wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said,”Please continue reading.””
The sparse voice sounded in the classroom.
“……Gilderoy Lockhart, who happened to be traveling nearby, changed his expression after hearing the scream, and hurriedly got on his broomstick and flew to the castle……”
Lockhart puffed up his chest proudly, as if to say that he was the protagonist in the book.
“……The outer walls of the castle are made of huge black bricks and stones, covered with ivy and moss, giving people an eerie feeling. The entrance to the castle is a huge stone arch with an ancient golden door knocker.”
“The interior of the castle is very dark, the halls are filled with black flags and shabby relics, and the floors are covered with wet grass and rotten boards. In the center of the hall, there is a huge stone stove with a roaring fire burning inside. Next to the stove is an ancient magic desk filled with magic books and magic items……”
“An elderly witch with a hairy chin fainted in the hall. Gilderoy quickly helped her up……”
“OK, stop!” Lockhart directed. He motioned Padma to the podium, then lay on the floor and pretended to be unconscious.
He supported the little witch, took out his wand and pointed it at her, and then read the lines warmly,”Quickly Come to life quickly!”
Lockhart’s wand lit up symbolically, and soon went out. Nothing happened.
Then, he motioned to Padma to open her eyes and read the lines.
“Yes, it’s a female ghost! I accidentally lifted the seal and released the terrible female ghost!”Padma’s voice was calm, even though she was being supported by her idol Lockhart.
She had no idea that she was actually playing the ugly old woman in the book!
“Female ghost?” Lockhart asked
“She was once a beautiful witch. She used dark magic to torture Muggles, and even used an extremely evil magic to transform herself into a dark creature.” Padma read out the lines with a grimace,”The wizards in the town worked together. She was sealed in this castle, and I, I accidentally broke the seal.”
Lockhart’s Defense Against the Dark Arts class turned into a complete joke.
The class turned into a complete drama performance, and he asked Padma’s roommate Mandy to play the female ghost,
recreating the ghost he had in the book. It was written about the whole process of defeating the Wanlun female ghost.
Lockhart painstakingly performed how he faced the extremely dangerous female ghost who escaped from the trap alone.
Ives could tell that he secretly checked it before class. A lot of information and many rehearsals.
The various techniques used by Lockhart to defend against dark magic are quite decent, including the powerful defensive spells and patronus charms he cast when trying to prevent the female ghost from escaping.
However , , none of these techniques worked. When he raised the wand to chant the spell, the tip of the wand lit up with a faint light, but then nothing happened.
Lockhart explained that this was because of the class, and he did not It was necessary to perform those dangerous magics in front of the young wizards. He planned to wait a few months before teaching these magics to everyone. Everyone nodded doubtfully.
Many people could see that Lockhart was a silver pewter spearhead. , looking at something useless.
The last scene of this funny performance is:
Lockhart took out a small bottle, recited a vague spell in his mouth, and sealed the”Wanlun Female Ghost” again. Get up.
Lockhart mentioned in the book that he passed a small island floating in the sea while traveling. There was a powerful wizard living on the island, and he learned a few tricks under the guidance of that wizard. A special sealing magic – Demonic Sealing Wave.
However, he did not explain the principle of Demonic Sealing Wave in detail in the book.
Of course Ives knew that Lockhart definitely did not know this magic, but he always felt that the name Demonic Sealing Wave Does it sound familiar?
Until the bell rang, he didn’t remember where he had heard this name.
Lockhart licked his lips with some unfinished thoughts, and he asked Mandy who was standing on the stage to pick her toes in embarrassment. Sit back and assign homework:”The homework after class is to write a poem based on my victory over the Wanlun female ghost. The one who writes the best will get several autographed copies of”My Magical Me”》！”
Just as he was about to step out of the classroom, he turned back and said,”By the way, ten points to Ravenclaw for the wonderful performances of Miss Patil and Miss Blog.”
Mandy and Pablo were embarrassed from the beginning when they came off the stage. Dema finally smiles and cooperates with Lockhart to act out an embarrassing drama to get extra points and earn money!
Elvis and Hermione picked up the books and walked out of the classroom. Hermione said with emotion:”I thought that the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor selected by Professor Dumbledore would not be so terrible and should have some merits. But I really I didn’t expect Lockhart to be exactly what Cedric said, just a pretty boy who was looking for nothing but useless.”
Ivis nodded seriously beside him.
Ravenclaw second-year students have Professor McGonagall’s Transfiguration class in the afternoon.
Ivis and Hermione came to the classroom early as usual to preview.
While the two were reading quietly, Professor McGonagall walked in. Seeing the two people who were reading seriously, her frown relaxed slightly.
Recently, the troublemakers in Gryffindor and Lockhart had made her a little mentally and physically exhausted, but seeing that there were still a few students in the school who were studying hard and keeping to themselves, Professor McGonagall suddenly felt much better.
