Chinese students at Hogwarts

The auditorium today was extremely dark in tone. Thick dark clouds were rolling on the ceiling. From time to time, lavender light came out from inside the dark clouds, with a dull rumbling sound, as if it really came from high in the sky.

The dueling platform still had the same gilded and grand appearance, and under the flickering candlelight, it actually had a charming and coquettish light.

But there was no one on the stage.

Ron snorted from his nose and said in a low voice:

"Is the 'Peacock' afraid of being embarrassed again and afraid to come?"

Hermione's little ears covered by her fluffy hair suddenly moved, she turned her head suddenly, and slapped Malfoy hard with her swaying hair.

The little witch said in a serious tone:

"Ron, we undoubtedly had a lot of misunderstandings about the professor before. Even if his magic ability is weak, he can still become a master through theoretical research.

Just like Bathilda Bagshot, although she did not have any dazzling achievements, no one would question her status as a master. "

Ron slowly turned his head and looked at Harry, raising his eyebrows:

"Dude, baba what?"

Harry looked equally confused.

"Bathilda Bagshot - the author of "History of Magic", the greatest historian of this century, our textbooks are her works." Malfoy rubbed his cheek and stared at Hermione's hair.

He seemed to wonder more about who Bathilda Bagshot was than why her hair whipped with as much force as a slap.

Zhang Xiao looked on with a smile, never interrupting, telling the 12-year-old star-chasing girl that her idol would collapse sooner or later, and she would do this because she was out of her mind.

At this moment, thousands of candles floating in the sky suddenly went out. The little wizards immediately stopped talking, and many of them raised their wands reflexively.

The shouts of "fluorescence flashing" continued continuously, and the auditorium was immediately densely lit up with soft light spots like stars.

A rich male voice suddenly echoed in the auditorium:

"Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to invite Gilderoy Lockhart, a recipient of the third-level Order of Merlin, an honorary member of the Anti-Dark Arts Alliance, and a five-time winner of Wizarding Weekly's Most Charming Smile Award!"

The beam of light lit up in the center of the stage. Lockhart stood in the center of the light beam, stretching out his hands in a hug. The little witches were like crazy, letting out ear-piercing screams, their cheeks turned red, and they waved the wands in their hands crazily.

Zhang Xiao pinched his chin. Why did this scene feel familiar?

Lockhart looked at the lively scene below with satisfaction. Muggles still created a lot of good things. They were not just a bunch of rubbish as Tom said. At least the things called movies and concerts were I got a lot of inspiration from myself.

He thought this, but the movement in his hand was not slow at all. He took out the wand and made a big floating motion. The candle above his head flashed rhythmically like a marquee, making the little witch become more and more crazy.

He even followed the flickering of candles without any instruction and waved the wand in his hand rhythmically.

This extraordinary opening was not over until the candles stopped flickering and the entire auditorium was filled with light again. At this time, the little witches had fully entered the state. Many little witches of Muggle origin had watched the concert and unconsciously Brought in.

Shout loudly: "Lockhart, I love you!"

Zhang Xiao curled his lips. He saw that many little witches had just sent love letters to him on Christmas a few days ago.

Tsk - woman!

Hermione secretly glanced at the friends around her, suppressed the urge to shout, and secretly retracted her hands into her robes. She was a little excited just now and her hands were exhausted.

Lockhart still had his iconic smile on his face, but his appearance once again made the little witches shine.

He does a pretty good job of managing his figure, he is an idol writer after all.

The double-breasted vest, which is very in line with Muggle fashion, is paired with a solid-color shirt, which is very layered. The trousers are very slim, and paired with long cowhide boots, giving him a mature, stable but energetic feeling.

He was not wearing the flashy wizard robes from the past.

Instead, it was a pure black cloak like a cloak.

All in all, very stylish.

Those little witches covered their chests with their hands, and their eyes almost turned into starry eyes.

On the opposite side were the boys. They clenched their fists and stared at Lockhart indignantly. Their lips moved rapidly. If they could recite the spell as fast as they did, Professor Flitwick would probably scream with joy.

Not far away Percy's head was bouncing back and forth between his girlfriend and Lockhart, as Penelope was clearly completely attracted to Lockhart.

Lockhart took two steps forward, and his way of speaking changed from his usual exaggerated manner. Instead, he saluted everyone gracefully and mocked himself:

"I'm very sorry. I left a bad impression on everyone in the last duel club. This was also my mistake, but there are always two sides to a coin, and misfortune always follows luck.

The last failure gave me a huge setback, but it also woke me up! "

Lockhart gave full play to his creative abilities and spent ten minutes telling everyone that he had grown from an outstanding Ravenclaw graduate with ideals and dreams, determined to bring more authority to everyone. More solid defense against the dark arts content.

How devoted I was, forgetting to eat and sleep (I also promoted my new book in the middle).

A certain tabby cat hiding in a secret corner rolled its eyes humanely - if she remembered correctly, all the professors were relieved when Lockhart graduated. If it weren't for his status as a professor, they would even think about it. Have a cocktail party to celebrate.

Of course, the tabby cat's white eyes couldn't stop Lockhart from speaking:

He went on to tell how he had achieved something and immediately accepted the invitation to bring the latest theoretical results to the little wizard (and promoted the new book), after a 'horrifying' attack occurred at the school.

He resolutely founded a dueling club, hoping to give the little wizards more ability to protect themselves.

But because he was too devoted to creation, he gradually neglected his actual level of magic.

I thought that I was still the same person who had just left school and was at the peak of his magic skills, so that I made a big fool of myself, but I learned from it painfully.

He - Gilderoy Lockhart - has woken up, and after two months of unremitting efforts, has returned to the top!

The unnamed dean who was leaning against the door was curling his hair with his fingers in boredom, while the unnamed dean was rubbing his fingers with a frown and the corners of his mouth were pulled upwards.

A contemptuous smile appeared in the shadows.

peak? If there is a peak in being embarrassed, you are indeed the peak in the thousand years since the school was founded.

I hadn't graduated yet when you did stupid things in third grade! Spend all your money buying Valentine's Day cards to send to yourself, pretending that you are loved by all the girls in school?

Ha, you thought you were my incompetent student who had a little secret, even his memory was protected, and was really outstanding?

This speech sounded stinky and long to the boys, but the little witch burst into tears. Many of them covered their mouths to prevent themselves from crying. The warm applause they broke out even interrupted Lockhart's speech many times. speech.

Zhang Xiao also covered his mouth, with tears in his eyes, holding back his laughter.

To be honest, Lockhart's rhetoric reminded him of the routines used by many celebrities in previous lives.

Lockhart himself was very satisfied. He only had one thought in his mind, Tom - he is a talent!

He just put forward some inconspicuous 'small suggestions', which only took a few dozen pages, and then formulated an overall image change plan.

From the dressing style, to the expressions, the way of speaking, and even the content of the class, it was all very detailed. Even the magic spell he provided that was said to be found in the ruins was very useful!

Thinking of this, Lockhart couldn't help but feel a little regretful. From all aspects, Tom was also a decent person during his lifetime, and he was definitely a personable gentleman.

If he were standing in front of him, Lockhart would even want to pat Tom on the shoulder to encourage him.

Tom, you are as good as me!

As the boys gnashed their teeth, Lockhart finally finished telling his story and began to get to the main topic of the day:

"First of all, I regret to tell you that my teaching assistants in the last class, Professor Snape and Professor Flitwick, are unable to participate in this teaching activity due to work and personal reasons."

Flitwick and Snape aren't coming? Zhang Xiao almost planned to leave directly. If he had this time, he might as well go painting and relax.

I came here just for the two professors. After all, the last battle with Professor Flitwick was just to measure my own strength, so I had a good idea.

This time, Zhang Xiao originally planned to take a good look at how the two professors taught dueling as a bystander. After all, bystanders know better than the authorities.

If you change your perspective, you might be able to see something different.

After thinking about it, Zhang Xiao resisted the urge to leave, first to see what other tricks Lockhart could do.

Lockhart held both ends of the wand across his chest with both hands. The smile on his face was still faint, with a hint of mystery. This was the result of several days of practicing in front of the mirror day and night. .

It was painful to change habits, especially since he had kept that cheerful smile for several years.

But in the face of the limelight, what is this pain?

Tom's handwriting came to mind again: "Sir Lockhart, if you want to attract others' attention, you must maintain a sense of mystery. You must not let others see through you easily.

Although your smile before was charming, it was hearty and approachable. I suggest you change the way you smile.

For example, if you only move one corner of your mouth upwards and don't move the other side, you will look more mysterious.

And in terms of dueling - you are talented and talented, but after all, you have wasted 10 years, even with the small help I provided.

It is still very difficult to catch up with Flitwick and Snape in a short period of time, so I suggest that you do not choose the professor as your assistant. "

Lockhart glanced around at the young wizards below and said loudly:

"I need someone to come up and serve as my duel assistant. Let's conduct a duel drill first. Which student is willing? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The duel assistant can feel the passion of battle up close."

The scene was quiet for a while, and the little witches were eager to try, but they were still hesitant because they were afraid of embarrassing themselves in front of their admired professor.

There are still many people whose eyes are drifting towards Zhang Xiao. After all, his performance in the last Duel Club was so amazing that it directly shattered the confidence of many young wizards.

If you have to choose one, Zhang is certainly the best choice.

Faced with this look, Zhang Xiao calmly pulled Malfoy and Harry over, hid herself behind them, and made his attitude clear.

At this moment, a tall and thin figure jumped onto the duel stage.

Percy held his wand and stared at Lockhart, his expression - how should I put it?

Zhang Xiao even felt that Percy wasn't so angry when he found out that his prefect badge had turned into 'idiot' a few days ago.

Penello anxiously shouted from below: "Percy?!

What are you doing? Come down quickly! Gilderoy is not good at dueling, you will hurt him! "

Gilderoy? You used to be called Lockhart! !

Percy's expression became increasingly sad and angry, even his ears were red, and the knuckles holding the wand were turning white. I'm going to humiliate you severely, Lockhart! ! ! !

Lockhart was a little surprised why the Gryffindor prefect looked so angry, but didn't think much about it.

Instead, he took off his cloak, instead of flinging it out as fancy as last time, and just put it on his arm.

Percy's ears turned redder, and besides his girlfriend, he felt more angry than ever that he was being humiliated.

Judging from Lockhart's performance last time, even an outstanding fourth- or fifth-year student might defeat him.

And he, Percy Weasley, is the best student in sixth grade!

Zhang Xiao watched the two people bowing on the duel stage and felt a strange sense of disobedience. He always felt that Lockhart's performance today was a little abnormal, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

At this moment, the little wizards around him were completely divided into two groups. The boys waved their fists and cheered loudly for Percy.

The little witches glared at the boys around them and used their high-pitched voices to cheer Lockhart on.

The moment the number of steps was reached, Percy turned around quickly and cast a silent disarming spell.

But the result surprised him. Lockhart turned around lightly, and the crimson curse flew past his chest.

Zhang Xiao raised his eyebrows and his expression became much more focused. Is this a coincidence?

Lockhart nodded approvingly, still smiling slightly:

"Nice silent spell, Mr. Weasley!"

Percy was obviously taken aback, but he didn't have time to think about it at this time. The magic spell shook a few times, and after a feint shot, he suddenly lowered his head in a rather confusing upward movement, and fired another magic spell. The curse was thrown out.

Many people immediately said "Ah", because everyone had seen this tactic not long ago, and it was exactly the routine used by Zhang Xiao and Flitwick.

It's just that Lockhart's performance once again exceeded everyone's expectations. He was like waving away an annoying fly, and easily flew away Percy's spell with a graceful gesture.

This time it’s not just Zhang Xiao.

In the shadows, Snape had already put down his hand, with a trace of doubt in his eyes as he stared closely at the stage.

The tabby cat in the corner also sat up straight, its round eyes looked very focused, its expression was serious, and even its two triangular ears were trembling slightly.

Feeling the disbelief and admiration of everyone's eyes, Lockhart felt an unprecedented sense of relief and happiness filling his body.

Not enough, this is not enough!

I want more!

One day, I will replace Dumbledore and become the next legend in the wizarding world!

In Lockhart's office, a diary with a purple cover suddenly turned automatically without any wind, turning the pages with a clatter. A black air rose from the diary and was quickly sucked back in.

Tom felt his strength returning little by little, and finally showed his first heartfelt smile since being picked up by Lockhart.
