Chapter 278 Lockhart’s Stage Play
"Tsk tsk...unexpected..."
Half an hour later, Lockhart put away the test paper and looked it up on the spot.
"A lot of people remember that I like lilac, which is good...just why don't you remember that my biggest achievement so far is five times won the "Wizard Weekly" most charming smile award, I just said it."
He winked at his classmates again.
Although a small number of iron fans immediately covered their chests with their hands, their breathing was rapid, their eyes were blurred, and they showed an expression as if they had drunk fake wine, but most of them still didn't like his tricks.
Katie Bell of Gryffindor sat right in front of Connor, and she kept her head down, shoulders shrugged, and trembling with laughter while Lockhart spoke.
And Mikel and Ryan also endured very hard.
"But……"
Lockhart's voice suddenly became much higher, "Miss Miller Sinise knows that my birthday is January 26th... good girl!"
"Actually..." He turned the paper over, "[-] points, where is this excellent little witch?"
A trembling hand was raised in the front row, it was the student who was selected by Kyle at a glance.
"Excellent!" Lockhart laughed. "Excellent! Ten points for Gryffindor!"
"There are two other students who are more regretful. They only answered 53 questions correctly."
Lockhart took out two papers,
"I think they should re-read Walking With Trolls...I made it clear in Chapter 9 that my secret ambition was to rid the world of evil and sell my own line of hair conditioners...and Not toothpaste.
But toothpaste is also a good choice, I will consider adding it to the "Lockhart series". "
Connor lowered her head and lightly thumped Kyle under the desk.
Obviously, those two test papers belonged to them.
Originally, Connor wrote about hair conditioner, but when she saw Kyle writing toothpaste with confidence, she changed it, and the result became what it is now.
"It's obvious that you are not firm in your will..."
Kyle murmured softly: "And if you get full marks, you will be called by name, so that's pretty good."
"Now, let's get down to business..."
Lockhart put the paper aside, then picked up...a book.
Originally, Lockhart had brought some Cornish elves to surprise the little wizards who were attending the class for the first time.
It was only yesterday in the second grade class that he realized that this surprise was a bit too exciting, so that it turned into a shock in the end.
The whole classroom was messed up by those elves, and even his own wand was thrown out of the window.
He used the excuse of helping to clean up the pests yesterday, and searched for a long time in the bushes before finding it.
After going through that incident, Lockhart also understood that he might not be able to do those fancy operations anymore.
In addition, the third grade is much harder to fool than the second grade.
So today he is going to play it safe.
When the students saw the book "Traveling with the Vampire" in his hand, they all frowned, even those die-hard fans.
As soon as they saw the book, they couldn't help thinking of the days dominated by Professor Quirrell's "reading class" last year, and a faint smell of garlic wafted from the tip of their noses.
"Merlin's beard...you won't have to study again this year!" A Gryffindor beside Kyle said painfully.
And there are many others like him.
Lockhart quickly told them the answer.
The good news is that they won't have to read silly books...but the bad news is, they'll have to act this time.
Lockhart compiled the content of his book into a dramatic segment, and asked the students to act out it together, like some kind of alternative stage play.
To be honest, it might as well be reading... It's a pity that Lockhart doesn't think so.
He probably thinks that this way of acting can better bring out his heroism.
And acting requires actors.
The first thing that came to Lockhart's mind was the most famous student in the class... Kyle who was awarded the Order of Merlin, Second Class.
"It must feel great to have him as a foil to yourself."
"Oh, and that second-year Harry Potter is not bad either."
Lockhart thought so, and did the same.
He called Kyle to the podium and decided that he would play the vampire in the book.
"Professor, can I ask you a question before the show?" Kyle said.
"Just ask, a hundred are fine." Lockhart said, pulling his hair back, trying to keep himself as close as possible to the look in the book.
Kyle casually opened the book "Traveling with Vampires" and glanced at it.
"This paragraph... You used the Sunshine Curse to easily repel the vampires who rushed..."
"But Professor, I'm curious... What is the effect of the Sunshine Curse, is it an enhanced version of the Illumination Curse?"
"That's a new kind of spell." Lockhart said with a smile. "Illumination spells don't shine so brightly."
For a while... the Gryffindor students were fine, but Hufflepuff all looked at Mikel in the middle of the classroom.
They still clearly remember...the explosion-like bright light that suddenly appeared in the classroom when they had their first Charms class two years ago.
If there really is a Sunshine Curse... probably nothing more than that.
But Mikel didn't know about it... He passed out after reciting the spell, and he didn't know what happened afterwards.
On the podium, Kyle continued to ask: "Can you demonstrate it to us?"
"Eh..." Lockhart became a little speechless: "Next time... this spell is not suitable for use in classrooms..."
"What about this..." Kyle turned a few more pages, "You used the floating spell to condense the sea water and trap the vampire. This should be able to demonstrate."
Lockhart fell silent again.
But it wasn't over yet, Kyle continued to flip through the book and asked:
"Also, why are vampires not afraid of garlic, but afraid of amulets soaked in garlic juice..."
"Why are you traveling by boat, isn't apparating bad?"
"Also how did you manage to make the vampires only eat carrots..."
"Is that vampire still alive?"
"If it's still alive, have you considered publishing the method?
After all, solving their blood-sucking problem is equivalent to solving the problem of werewolves transforming on a full moon night, and you will be awarded the first-class medal of the Order of Merlin! "
"correct……"
Kyle seemed to be really going to ask a hundred questions, and the series of whys made Lockhart's head a lot bigger.
He just stole this story from an old wizard. The only thing he did was to give the other party an Oblivion Curse, and he did a certain degree of artistic processing on the whole story. How could he know so many details.
Looking at the increasingly curious gazes of the people around him, Lockhart panicked, and quickly stopped the chattering Kyle.
"Okay, okay... close the book."
"I don't mind answering these questions, but other students still have classes."
"Just treat it as an assignment I assigned to you. You might as well think about it for yourself. Of course, if you don't understand it by the end of the school year, I will tell you the answer."
Lockhart cleverly exposed the matter, and then found a reason to drive Kyle back, and replaced him with another, honest-looking little Hufflepuff wizard to accompany him in the stage play .
If Kyle is allowed to stay any longer, maybe he will ask something else, the risk is too great.
……
