Hogwarts: I Am Such a Model Wizard

Chapter 279 Thank you

 “Did you do it on purpose…” Kangna asked quietly after Kyle returned to his seat.

Kyle spread his hands.

 Needless to say, it must be intentional. He would be crazy to accompany Lockhart in some stage play... and he would play a supporting role.

However, looking at the little wizard on the podium who was jumping up and down with excitement because he was chosen to play the role of a vampire... he must be quite happy.

 This is also good.

 The bell rang and Lockhart stood up.

“Homework: Write a hymn about my ability to transform vampires! The best writer will receive several autographed copies of My Magical Me!”

“I’d rather write a three-foot-long paper.” Kyle muttered under his breath, packed up his things, and left the classroom.

Kanna also nodded.

Ever since meeting Cedric, her impression of Professor Lockhart has not become very good.

 Coupled with the paper from the first thirty minutes of class and Lockhart's clumsy performance in processing the photos...

 It is conceivable that there will be no surprises in their next Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

"I miss Professor Oren a little bit..." Kangna whispered on the way to the auditorium.

 “Oren?” Kyle was a little surprised.

"Why don't you go to the campus hospital for a checkup?" He touched Kangna's forehead, "You were almost killed by him in the Forbidden Forest, and you still miss him?"

 “I’ve figured it out a long time ago.”

Kanna slapped Kyle's hand away and said with a smile: "Oren was looking for you at the time, I was just unlucky and caught up with him by chance.

 If he comes again, I just need to stay far away from you. "

"You are so smart!" Kyle said angrily: "Then have you ever thought about what I will do when Oren comes back?"

"I believe you must have a way." Kangna said matter-of-factly: "After all, you are the smartest person I have ever met."

"Thank you so much." Kyle curled his lips, "But forget it, I suddenly discovered that Lockhart is quite good, at least those stage plays are quite good."

 The two of them talked and laughed all the way to the auditorium.

After a while, Cedric came too. He changed into a new robe and washed the dirt from his hair.

"How's Lockhart?" Cedric asked. "We have Defense Against the Dark Arts tomorrow morning."

"You have to be mentally prepared." Kangna shook her head, "It's almost the same as last year."

 As soon as she said this, Cedric understood.

 Okay, it’s reading class again.

But Cedric didn't understand, if that was the case, why not let the fat monk be the professor...that way they could save money on books.

Or the almost headless Nico... Under the influence of the Defense Against the Dark Arts curse, maybe his head can be completely severed.

This can be regarded as fulfilling his long-cherished wish.

“By the way, this is for you.” Kyle handed a piece of parchment to Cedric.

"What's this."

Cedric looked at the contents on the parchment and was stunned...

What is Lockhart’s favorite color?

 Why should he know this kind of thing?

 “This is a class test.”

Kyle explained: "I estimate that every grade will have one when they first go to class. You should take a look at it in advance. If you write them all correctly, it will give the college extra points."

"How many…"

“Ten points,” Kyle said, “but you’ll be called upon.”

"The score is a good deal, acceptable..." "He may also be dragged into performing a stage play."

　　…“But we Hufflepuffs don’t lack this point!”

 …

I don’t know if it was because of Kyle’s performance in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class that he didn’t see Professor Lockhart once in the next few days.

 And when he came to class again, he was not called on again.

Lockhart seemed to be deliberately avoiding him, but this feeling was not bad.

 But compared with Kyle, Harry's treatment is completely different.

Lockhart seemed to have all his attention on him, and they had bumped into each other several times in the corridors in the past few days.

Harry had to pay attention to his surroundings at all times, and as soon as he saw Lockhart coming from the other end of the corridor, he hurried away.

And not only Lockhart, Harry also had to avoid the new student, Colin Creevey. This little wizard seemed to have memorized his entire curriculum, and he would always encounter him whether he was in class or in the auditorium.

 At least six or seven times a day he heard, "How are you, Harry?"

 …and then the same number of replies, “Hello, Colin.”

 That's it, until the weekend.

While having breakfast that day, Kyle suddenly asked: "Does the Quidditch team need to recruit new players this year?"

“No, but we need to find a few substitutes to prepare for next year.” Cedric said: “Including Harris, three people are in seventh grade this year.

You are also a member of the team, why don't you care about it at all? "

 “If I didn’t care, I wouldn’t ask this question.”

Kyle took a sip of milk, "But I have twelve classes to attend, and all those homework... I don't have time to think about other things."

“That’s right.” Cedric shrugged.

He has already seen Kyle's full class schedule.

Although Kyle does not need to take courses with time conflicts, self-study also takes time, and his homework is obviously much higher than others.

"But if you say so..." Kyle frowned, "Do we already have three seventh graders on our team?"

“Well, the two chasers and the goalkeeper are in the same class and will graduate next year.”

Cedric said: "But there is good news. Harris seems to have been invited by the Flata Eagles and has the opportunity to become a professional Quidditch player."

"Really?" Kyle was stunned for a moment, "Did Harris tell you? Why didn't I hear about it?"

“It wasn’t him.” Cedric shook his head. “Remember the Quidditch match I went to during the holidays?”

 “Vratsa Eagles and Chadli Cannons?”

“That’s right.” Cedric smiled: “My dad is very good friends with a player from the Eagles, and they accidentally mentioned this when they were chatting.

After the other party found out that I was also a Hufflepuff, he asked me if I knew Harris. "

“This is really good news.” Kyle lamented: “Harris didn’t reveal it at all.”

“I think he is probably worried that he will not be able to pass the final assessment.”

“Maybe we can win another Quidditch Cup this year.”

Kyle said: "Being the captain of three consecutive championships should be a good resume."

“I think so too, but Harris himself doesn’t seem to care about it at all.”

Cedric smiled helplessly and said: "The Gryffindor people started training early this morning, but he went to Hogsmeade with others to play."

 “Well…that’s very Harris indeed.”

Kyle chuckled and said: "But with his strength, it shouldn't be difficult to join a professional team."
