Chapter 265 Open Classes and Rich Professors (First update, please subscribe)
Hogwarts, Great Hall.
The news of Lockhart's open meditation method was announced three days ago. In addition to Lockhart's Squib research assistant, a large number of young wizards also signed up.
Even reporters from various daily newspapers outside have asked for connections to participate in this course.
Because this should be regarded as the first time the secret of meditation has been officially revealed.
Previously, most of them showed the existence of meditation method.
When Lockhart learned about the large number of people attending the open class, he immediately discussed with Professor McGonagall to borrow the auditorium.
Because the auditorium is spacious enough to accommodate more participants.
At this moment, the auditorium looks like ants from above. A large number of people are crowded together, and the sound is also a bit noisy.
Those sitting at the front were professors from Hogwarts and some visitors from pure-blood families.
Behind them were Lockhart's Squib research assistants. They all sat on a stool and communicated expectantly with their companions around them.
Most of the people in the middle were the little wizards from Hogwarts. Those who had mastered the transformation spell were waving their wands to conjure a small stool for themselves.
And the little wizards like the first grade, who have not yet mastered the transformation, sat on the small stools they brought over.
At the same time, he looked back from time to time.
Because behind, there were many adult wizards holding cameras, and white lights flashed along with the clicking sounds from time to time.
Make it fun for them.
The entire auditorium was very noisy because of many wizards whispering.
Harry Potter and his friend Hermione Ron sat in the middle and front, communicating with each other excitedly.
"There are many people here today. It seems that Professor Lockhart's lectures are very attractive." Harry couldn't help but sigh.
"Harry, this is normal." Hermione analyzed from the side: "Now the entire wizarding world is praising Professor Lockhart's research results as having epoch-making significance. It is normal to attract so many people to participate."
"I really hope that in the future I can be like Professor Lockhart, standing on the stage with a large number of wizards calling for me below." Ron said with some envy.
When Hermione heard this, she gave Ron a roll of her eyes and said, "Professor Lockhart is a well-known academic master in Ravenclaw Academy. When he graduated, he got excellent grades in every subject."
"Now, you should consider the homework left by Professor Snape first."
After hearing Hermione's blow, Ron flattered him shamelessly: "Hermione, Hermione, let me see your homework."
"I'm learning from it, but I don't want to be scolded by the big bat again?"
After hearing this, Harry looked at Hermione expectantly.
This left Hermione speechless.
suddenly
"Professor Lockhart is here!"
Sharp-eyed Hermione suddenly discovered that a figure appeared on the high platform, it was Gilderoy Lockhart.
He said to Harry and Ron slightly excitedly: "The course is about to begin. This is a so-called epoch-making research result."
The two of them also looked towards the stage excitedly.
Although they learned about meditation in advance and even started practicing it.
But it was an honor to see so many people come to class.
At this moment, Lockhart looked at Principal Dumbledore, Snape, Flitwick and other professors at the front, and nodded slightly.
Then, he passed by the pure-blood family and looked at the dense crowd behind him.
cough!
Lockhart put his wand to his throat and cast a silent amplification spell. With a slight cough, the entire auditorium quickly fell silent.
He saw all the wizards and squibs quiet down and looking at him expectantly.
The corners of Lockhart's lips curled up, and then he spoke, speaking in a gentle and steady tone so that everyone could hear him clearly.
"Welcome to my first public meditation class."
"I think I shouldn't need to introduce myself. Everyone present should know me more or less."
"At Hogwarts, I heard many young wizards give me an interesting title, called - Rich Professor."
Hearing this, the young wizards present all laughed and said, "Professor Rich," is widely spread among them.
Because Professor Lockhart, in the eyes of these little wizards, is a real rich man.
As long as you perform well, you will be rewarded with various magic snacks and even magic items, making you even richer than rich people.
Hearing the little wizard's laughter, Lockhart smiled and said, "Professor Rich, that name sounds kind."
"The origin of this title is not only that I have money, but more importantly, that I am good at sharing."
"If I only have money but don't know how to share it, I'm afraid my title will become the Stingy Professor."
Hearing Lockhart's joke, the little wizards present laughed, and the whole atmosphere became more lively.
After a while, when the laughter subsided slightly, Lockhart continued: "I am a person who likes to share. I shared my experiences in books before, and was loved by everyone. I gained a certain amount of fame and money. Thank you very much. Everyone has always supported me.”
"So, when my research results took shape, I immediately wanted to share them with everyone."
“I have always believed that the more you share, the more you gain.”
"When I share a piece of knowledge and a wizard learns it, we will get two pieces of knowledge. When we communicate, a third piece of knowledge will also be born."
“That’s the great thing about sharing.”
"Sharing promotes the development of knowledge and promotes the progress of civilization."
"So, today's open class is here to share my first research result - meditation method."
Hearing this, a large number of young wizards applauded. Although they did not understand, they did not realize how serious it was.
Well, feeling classy is the key.
In addition, what Professor Lockhart said earlier was very interesting, so I applauded.
The Hogwarts professors sitting in the front row also applauded softly, and there seemed to be a hint of admiration in their eyes. Lockhart's concept of sharing seemed to have had a certain impact on them.
You know, in today's wizarding world, cheating is still prevalent.
For example, the profound magic mastered by pure-blood families is basically not leaked. Even if it is passed on to someone, a strict contract must be signed.
As for the articles shared in various journals, most of them seem important, but they do not involve the core.
Even if it were not for more reputation and profit, most wizards would not choose to disclose their research results.
Even in Lockhart's previous life, this phenomenon still existed, and it seemed to be rooted in a person's bad nature.
But those who truly produce top results are often those who dare to share.
As for whether Lockhart was speaking verbally, they didn't know.
But they know that Lockhart is now sharing his research results for free, which is almost consistent with what he just said.
Naturally, it will arouse their admiration.
At the same time, Dumbledore, who was sitting in front, looked at Lockhart with a softer look.
There should be a difference between the pursuit of knowledge and the pursuit of rights, right?
