·
Nian Gao Pei Ma Tuan
The moment he cast his gaze, Glenn immediately raised his eyebrows and shook his head imperceptibly.This kind of performance in the classroom is a bit too shameful.What's more, he had no idea what kind of script Lockhart had prepared.
Lockhart also reacted quickly. He changed the subject and immediately changed his words: "...I have invited two classmates to play the roles of Mr. Ollivander and Peter Pettigrew respectively."
As soon as his words came out, they immediately aroused a strong reaction. At this time, the Defense Against the Dark Arts class was like a boiling kettle, and most of the students were waving their hands enthusiastically.
Lockhart squinted his eyes for a long time and finally pointed at one of them.
"Mr. Cormac McLaggen..."
McLagan's eyes lit up, he quickly pushed his deskmate away and got out of the crowd.
"I ask you to play Peter Pettigrew at the end of his rope..." Lockhart paused and added.
McLagan's expression visibly dropped, but he was already standing on the podium, and he was too embarrassed to turn back.
Glenn, who was watching with cold eyes, was speechless for a while, and asked the tall and tall McLaggen to play the short and thin Wormtail. I am afraid that only Lockhart can choose such an actor.
Wormtail's performer has been decided, and the remaining students are even more enthusiastic, especially the few little witches who had winked at Glenn before.
Lockhart glanced around twice more and then said: "The actor who plays Mr. Ollivander Jr. is Marcus Belby..."
In the corner, Marcos, the player who was watching the competition with great interest, looked confused. He didn't even raise his hand, but he was still selected. He really lived up to his title of "player".
After the actors were selected, Lockhart took the two of them and whispered for a while, and then spoke again as the narrator.
"This is the basement level of Hogwarts Castle, not far from Professor Snape's Potions classroom. Peter Pettigrew just left there and planned to take the opportunity to run to the foyer and sneak into the group of people who were about to leave for Hogsmeade. crowd."
"Under the secret arrangement between Minister Fudge and I, all the dementors will evacuate on this day, giving Pettigrew the illusion that 'this is the best time to escape.'"
He said, pushing McLaggen out from behind.
McLaggen stumbled and stumbled to the podium. He looked around blankly before reacting and pretending to be looking for a route.
"Stop!" Lockhart shouted with some dissatisfaction, "Pay attention to your acting, Mr. McLaggen, you are playing a mouse now. This is the Animagus form of Peter Pettigrew."
McLaggen nodded submissively, huddled his neck, raised his shoulders, and looked around furtively with his eyes.
Seeing his dramatic performance, a burst of laughter burst out in the classroom.McLagan's face turned red, pretending to be Wormtail.
"At the same time that Peter Pettigrew left the Potions classroom, Glenn and I set off from the foyer at the same time. We split into two groups and sandwiched him from two directions."
As he spoke, he and Marcos walked onto the podium one after another.
"Before taking action, I also cast a magical spell for the two of us that I learned during my travels. It can enhance our perception and easily detect enemies hiding in the dark." Lockhart pretended to wave his wand and said , "Since Pettigrew was more cautious than we thought, it was Glenn, who planned to block his retreat, who discovered the trace before me."
Marcos reacted immediately and shouted: "Stop, Peter Pettigrew!"
The shout was so loud and urgent that McLaggen was caught off guard and really startled.His shoulders shook violently and he turned around in panic.
Lockhart's narration sounded again: "As a criminal with more than a dozen lives stained on his hands, Peter Pettigrew was obviously an extremely vicious person. Seeing that Glenn was young and alone, he immediately canceled the plan. In Nymagus form, with a fierce look on his face, he drew out his wand."
This time McLaggen reacted quickly, immediately changed into a vicious look, and at the same time drew out his wand.
Glenn was speechless again.
Putting aside Wormtail's character, even if he was so bold, he didn't even have a wand in his hand.
Lockhart spoke quickly: "In order to quickly deal with Glenn and continue to escape, Pettigrew did not hold back at all and directly used the Killing Curse, one of the three unforgivable curses, but Glenn narrowly dodged it. "
"Avada Kedavra!"
McLaggen shouted, pointing his wand at Marcos.The wand in his hand did not respond at all. It was obviously just a show and he had not learned the real killing curse.
Marcos immediately fell to the side and pretended to be hiding in embarrassment.
"Was the scene really so thrilling?" Qiu on the side gently poked Glenn's shoulder and asked in a low voice with a smile.
Glenn glanced at her speechlessly and asked, "What do you think?"
Qiu smiled and turned back to watch Lockhart's performance.
McLaggen waved his wand again, and Lockhart strode over, stood in front of Marcos, and flicked the wand in his hand.
"At the critical moment, I finally arrived in time, easily blocked Pettigrew's next killing curse, and saved Glenn."
His appearance obviously attracted all the attention of the little wizards. Except for Glenn, everyone opened their eyes wide and looked forward to his wonderful battle.
"I have to say that as the mysterious man's secret confidant, Peter Pettigrew is far more powerful than ordinary Death Eaters. I'm afraid even senior Aurors may not be his opponent."
Lockhart said, waving the wand in his hand in a flashy way, as if he was experiencing a fierce magical battle.
Opposite him, McLaggen didn't know what he was doing, so he imitated him and waved the wand in his hand randomly.
Marcos next to him was a little embarrassed at this time, standing there not knowing what to do.However, he was just a supporting actor in Lockhart's stage play and had no role.
On the podium, two people were holding magic wands and gesticulating, while one person was standing in the corner bored. This was originally a very funny scene, but it actually aroused cheers from the onlookers. The little witches even shouted uniform slogans, and together they Shouting loudly as if they were watching Lockhart participate in a duel.
After making pretentious gestures for a while, Lockhart seemed to feel that it was almost done, and Lockhart spoke again.
"Of course, compared to me, there is still a gap in his strength. With little effort, I gained the upper hand and disarmed him with an exquisite disarming spell."
Lockhart also reacted quickly. He changed the subject and immediately changed his words: "...I have invited two classmates to play the roles of Mr. Ollivander and Peter Pettigrew respectively."
As soon as his words came out, they immediately aroused a strong reaction. At this time, the Defense Against the Dark Arts class was like a boiling kettle, and most of the students were waving their hands enthusiastically.
