Chapter 161 Anxious Lockhart

Talk about how fast the word-of-mouth of a celebrity in the wizarding world can decline.
If it was the beginning of the school year, most of the students had expectations for Lockhart, looking forward to what kind of Defense Against the Dark Arts class such a practical professor with rich adventure experience would bring.
After all, the teachers of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class are exhausted too quickly, and there is a new teacher every year, which also leads to a big gap in the teaching style and teaching level of each teacher.
Like last year's Professor Quirrell, if he needed to use one word to describe his class, it would probably be - garlic.
After a school year, as long as it is about Professor Quirrell's class, the students only remember the smell of garlic all over the room, and the stuttering sound, like a chef chopping garlic with a knife.
(According to unreliable sources, the adjective and the specific description come from Hufflepuff House.)
But the second half of the school year was happy, they ushered in the temporary substitute of the headmaster of Hogwarts.
Dumbledore's teaching quality is very high, and his ability to grasp knowledge points is also very strong.
Of course... the "Five Years of OWL and Seven Years of NEWT" about the Defense Against the Dark Arts class planned by him is also the thickest of all the subjects.
And this year, Lockhart is in charge of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class. Although the students don't expect to see big scenes like three-headed dogs and dementors, they should at least learn how to deal with evil spells.
But the content of the first class was really disappointing. Except for the weird and unclear test paper, they only realized that Lockhart's book was really easy to use!
For a long time after that, if students had a conflict, instead of pulling out their wands to solve the problem, they reached into their backpacks and pulled out a book by Lockhart.
Lockhart's books are good things, not only of excellent quality, but also easy to carry around, and can be transformed from fighting to communication at any time.
Recently, when Filch was on patrol, he often found such a situation.
Two students are holding "Traveling with Vampires" and "Wandering with Werewolves" and are about to greet each other.
When Filch approached them and stopped, although the two students held the book upside down, they became friendly and claimed that they were learning from each other and did nothing out of the ordinary.
There was nothing Filch could do about it. After all, they were holding the teacher's designated textbook, and there was no magical conflict, so they could only leave alone sullenly.
Equally glum was Professor Lockhart, who was in charge of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class.
Lockhart had to admit that, at least from the day he came to school, until the first class, he had the enthusiasm he expected.
I still remember that on the first day of school, just after the dinner, more than 30 people came to him with their books, hoping to get an autograph.
If Professor McGonagall hadn't sent the students away, he wouldn't have been bored enough to accompany Snape and the others to check on the Whomping Willow, and he wouldn't have suffered an accidental coma and been sent to the school infirmary.
Even in the school doctor's office the next morning, he also received greetings with various small gifts, hoping that he would recover quickly.
The fiery enthusiasm of the students made his restless heart even more restless.
However, when his first class was over, there was surprisingly no discussion about him.
Even except for the few fanatical fans in the front row, the rest of the people couldn't wait to leave the classroom.
That girl named Hermione Granger, who submitted a test paper with a perfect score, turned out to be the first group of people to rush out of the classroom when the get out of class was over.
For some reason, seeing the figures of those students leaving, he felt a long-lost heartache.
When he sat down at night and reviewed the classroom atmosphere, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it.
The students submitted the test papers enthusiastically, but some of them handed in blank papers, or just filled in part of the content.
This is not a big problem, it only shows that those students did not do their preview work well.
When the elves appeared later, the students also solved the problem very well, and successfully captured all the elves back to the cage, and the practical part of the class was no problem.
In the end, Lockhart still didn't come to any conclusions, and simply chose to follow this set of models and procedures for class on the second day.
This is also the particularity of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class. The content of a class can be repeatedly applied to the courses of each grade.
In this way, Lockhart experienced what is called "extremely fast fan loss" on the second day.
In just one morning, he had already lost most of his fans in the two grades. When he walked from the classroom to the auditorium, there were only a few diehard fans left behind him.
If it is about the content of the book, the faces of these diehard fans will immediately show cheers.
But when Lockhart wanted to talk about the experience of this class, these diehard fans immediately became hesitant, as if they didn't know how to describe it.
So, he felt that his mood had changed a lot. He refused the accompanying request of those diehard fans, went back to the office alone, and came to the vanity mirror.
Through the mirror, he began to cheer up his handsome face, "I am the best! I am the best! I have won the "Witcher Weekly" most charming smile award five times..."
Lockhart's nightmare continued, but in just one week, apart from those die-hard fans behind him, there were no more people who wanted to ask him for an autograph.
Even the number of diehard fans is decreasing day by day, and even the existing diehard fans seem to gradually lose the fanaticism that appeared at the beginning of school.
Lockhart also found out that although the students would still discuss him, they would always compare him to that Konno.
He couldn't bear his curiosity, and he also felt a burst of surprise when he asked those diehard fans about Kong Nuo's teaching method.
He didn't expect that Kong Nuo only had one class a week, and this class was attended by all the students in the school.
This is still a matter of the last school year, and this school year's martial arts class is even more excessive.
Kong Nuo even hired a teaching assistant, who was in charge of teaching the freshmen of the first grade, and Kong Nuo continued to teach the students of the other six grades.
At the same time, he also inquired about an even more explosive news.
Connor's class was extremely effective, and the textbooks he used were much more dangerous than those Cornish elves, so he was able to leave a deep impression on the students.
Lockhart stood in front of the vanity mirror again, and shouted in his most determined and ruthless voice: "This is a war! A war for who is the most popular professor in this school!"
The movement of his hands didn't stop, he was using his specially formulated conditioner to condition his hair, making his golden hair more shiny.
