Hogwarts: I Am Such a Model Wizard

Chapter 315 Valentine’s Day Surprise

"honestly…"

　　Mikel put the finished Potions homework next to him, thought about it and said, "I feel like they are not normal."

Kyle was stunned for a moment and asked: "What do you mean?"

 “Do you know what they usually say?”

This time, Mikel didn’t even do his homework and put down his quill directly. “Every time I go to their common room, I can hear someone loudly discussing who the successor is and saying that they want to help him purify it.” School."

 “Ha… help the monsters in the secret room to clean up the school?” Mikel became angrier as he spoke.

“Judging from their tone, it’s as if we’re all some kind of pest, no wonder so many people don’t like Slytherin.

One day I just couldn't hold it back, and while someone was going out, I punched an arrogant guy hard, and that's when I was discovered.

But those people ran too slowly, and I only used three stairs to throw them away... Unfortunately, I didn't notice that I dropped my scarf when I ran away. I was recognized by a third-year Slytherin, and I lost five of them at once. very. "

Mikel punched the table with some annoyance.

Kyle shook his head in amusement.

 Fortunately, Mikel ran fast at the time. If he had been caught on the spot, it might not just be as simple as being deducted 50 points.

But hearing what he said made Kyle rule out some suspects, such as Pansy, Millicent and Crabgoyle...

According to the character of these people, if one of them really released the basilisk, they would probably have shown off by now.

 Then just focus on observing the remaining few people.

Kyle thought for a while and continued to ask: "Then do you know, did any of them not go to the dinner party on Halloween?"

“Halloween dinner?” Mikel quickly replied: “They should all be there.”

“The thing they discussed the most was Filch. If someone was not in the auditorium at that time, everyone would definitely ask about it, but when I went there, this did not happen.

　　But it’s also possible that I went too late and they had already asked. "

 “Is that so?” Kyle frowned and returned to the dormitory thoughtfully.

 …

 In the next period of time, Kyle would pay special attention to a few people in Slytherin every day.

 But after observing for a month, he still found nothing wrong. Everything was as usual.

 At the beginning of February, the snow gradually melted, and the sun began to shine faintly on Hogwarts again.

 During this period, there were no further attacks in the castle. More people gradually believed Lockhart's words, and their mood became optimistic.

Professor Sprout was also happy to say during class that mandrakes have become moody and taciturn, which means they are rapidly outgrowing their childhood.

 As long as they wait another month or two, those who were petrified will be able to fully recover.

 Good news comes one after another.

Lockhart has been very arrogant recently.

 Because of those words at the opening party, more and more people began to believe that he had stopped the monster in the secret room, and some people who had lost their fans before became his admirers again.

“To boost morale and erase those bad memories from last semester, I have a surprise for all of you.”

In a Defense Against the Dark Arts class, he said cheerfully: "It still needs to be kept secret, so it's not convenient to say more, but I think you guys will definitely like it."

Mutters began to be heard in the classroom, and people were speculating about what Lockhart's surprise was.

But soon, they found out.

 The next day, Valentine’s Day.

When Kyle walked into the auditorium as usual and was about to have breakfast, he once wondered if he had gone to the wrong door.

The four walls are covered with big pink flowers, and there are a lot of heart-shaped confetti falling from the ceiling. On the wall behind the teacher's table, there is a garland made of various flowers. Great love.

If you add some blessings, this will be a large wedding scene.

"I guess this must be Lockhart's surprise." Fred brushed the confetti off his head. "I thought so too." Cedric looked up at the dining table where the professor was sitting.

Lockhart, also wearing a bright pink robe, stood at the front and waved everyone to be quiet.

 The professors sitting next to him all had serious faces, especially Snape.

His position corresponds to the left half of the huge heart at the back, while Lockhart is standing on the right half.

This wonderful location, coupled with the surrounding decorations, made Snape feel extremely gloomy, as if he had been stuffed with a bunch of cockroaches.

 He was holding the wand tightly in his hand. Kyle had no doubt that if anyone said the wrong thing, he would definitely open a gourd on the other person's head... with the magic blade.

The only one who can still laugh is probably Dumbledore.

 He even changed the color of his robe to pearl white that better matched the surrounding accessories.

"Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!" Lockhart said happily: "So far, sixty-five people have sent me greeting cards. I would like to express my gratitude to them... Yes, I arranged this small ceremony on my own initiative. Little surprises, and that’s not all!”

Lockhart clapped his hands, and twelve dwarves with gloomy faces walked in, each of them holding golden wings and carrying a harp.

Lockhart beamed that the dwarfs would be roaming the castle throughout the day, delivering Valentine's Day cards.

"I know you all can't wait, but if you have more patience, it's not over yet." Lockhart clapped his hands again.

 “Everyone, look up!”

Hundreds of owls crowded into the auditorium and threw letters and packages to the students.

 Pieces of paper filled with words were sandwiched among them and thrown down together.

Cedric picked up one out of curiosity, and his expression changed after just one glance...

 “His blond hair looked like polenta fresh from the pan.

His red lips are as tempting as a ripe tomato

 …”

 “What the **** is this!”

Cedric felt his stomach churn. He quickly threw away the note and rubbed his hands vigorously on the stool.

"I know that some of you may not have experience in writing greeting cards, so I specially selected some of the letters I received to send to you..."

Lockhart showed his shining teeth: "If you don't know how to write, you can learn from it...you can just copy it."

“Of course, if you have other ideas, that’s fine.

 Professor Snape is an expert at brewing love potions, and he has never failed at it.

And Professor Flitwick, who is more proficient in psychedelic magic than any wizard I've ever met, that cunning old dog! "

 Professor Flitwick buried his face in his hands, almost sinking under the table.

Several veins burst out on Snape's forehead, and he raised the wand in his hand several times.

"I dare say Professor Snape must have had a hard time enduring it."

Cedric looked at the dwarfs and seemed to suddenly think of something. He turned around and said, "Kyle, I remember you can use the Disembodiment Curse..."

Kyle nodded.

"Can you lend me the Invisibility Cloak for a day?" Cedric said hopefully, "I'm willing to use all my money in exchange."

“There’s no need for the money.” Kyle smiled and said, “The invisibility cloak is in the dormitory. I’ll get it to you when I go back after dinner.”

 “No problem.” Cedric breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he doesn't know if anyone will send him a greeting card today, it's better to be prepared. If he gets entangled by these dwarfs in a crowded place...it would be really too social.

 He doesn’t want to leave Hogwarts and transfer to another magic school just yet.
