Hogwarts Mental Rehabilitation Center

The next day, classes were as normal.

There was a Transfiguration class in the morning, which was unremarkable, but the Defense Against the Dark Arts class in the afternoon made Travis smell something amiss.

First of all, there is something wrong with Lockhart's image. Although his hair was not short last semester, it was still a common length for men, but today Lockhart has a shoulder-length hair.

Although there are magic and potions in the wizarding world, Travis has not done much research on potions and cannot be sure whether potions with this effect exist, but it is still weird to suddenly change his hairstyle.

And Lockhart's temperament has also changed. In the past, Lockhart was very flamboyant, but today's Lockhart is very restrained, even giving people a somewhat gloomy feeling.

If the hairstyle can be changed in a short time, then the temperament...how much of a blow does it have to take for it not to undergo earth-shaking changes in such a short period of time?

Suspicious, Travis waited quietly for Lockhart to start speaking.

beep, beep...

Lockhart tapped the table with his wand and calmly glanced around the students without stopping at anyone.

"I taught you a lot of theory last semester, and now it's the next semester. I plan to really teach you some practical things."

After hearing Lockhart's words and looking at Lockhart's calm face, the students who were originally indifferent suddenly became quiet.

"So, what we are going to talk about today is how to deal with... the Cornish elf!"

Lockhart suddenly lifted the black cloth covering the cage. The students below were stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter.

"What the hell? Cornish elf again?"

"Professor, give up, you have already challenged for half a semester."

"That's right. Although you are very perseverant, strength does not come with perseverance."

"Do we still need your teaching to deal with this thing?"

……

The voices of ridicule and ridicule were endless, but Lockhart continued to explain as if he didn't hear it.

"Cornish elves are almost the weakest of all magical creatures that attack wizards. Today I will teach you how to deal with them."

"Because Cornwall elves are weak, they often appear in groups, so the most effective spell to deal with them is..."

Lockhart explained as he opened the cage, and the Cornish elves immediately swarmed out.

At this moment, Lockhart waved his wand with a calm expression.

"All fixed!"

All the Cornish elves are immobilized!

"Yes, the Mass Holding Charm is the most effective spell to deal with them... Only two students knew and used this spell last semester. If I remember correctly, it should be Miss Hermione and Mr. Clyde, right? "

The students were stunned, and no one answered him.

But Lockhart didn't seem to want to get a reply, and he just continued.

"Gryffindor House adds 10 points to Miss Hermione and Mr. Clyde for their excellent performance last semester."

"Now I will explain to you what you need to pay attention to when casting this spell."

……

As soon as the explanation was given, Travis showed no expression on his face, looking at Lockhart in surprise like everyone else, but in fact, his heart was almost wrinkled into a thousand knots.

"I will bring a brand new magical creature to every class in the future and teach you how to deal with them."

"The magical creatures that appear in each class will be more dangerous than the magical creatures that appeared in the previous class, one is more dangerous than the other, until..."

Lockhart looked around at the excited students who were completely aroused.

"The most dangerous magical creature in the wizarding world!"

"Is it a fire dragon?"

Some students asked immediately.

Lockhart showed a standard smile and did not comment, but instead announced that get out of class was over.

……

"Hey, I didn't expect Lockhart to be so strong... You don't think he spent the entire holiday practicing the Immobilizing Spell, right?" Ron asked.

"It's possible. I always feel that Lockhart is weird today."

Harry said as he glanced at Travis, only to find that Travis was even weirder today.

The corners of Travis's mouth raised slightly, and it has remained like this since get out of class, and the smile has not stopped.

"Travis, what do you think?" Harry asked.

"I don't think we need to guess. We'll find out if Lockhart brings any new magical creatures in the next class. There's no way he will use the immobilization spell next time, right?" Travis said.

"Travis is right, it would be a good thing if Lockhart really has the ability. If he has the real ability, we can learn the real ability." Hermione said.

"Correct answer~"

Travis nodded and stopped.

"You guys should go back first, I'm going to start the experiment for the new semester."

"Oh, good luck to you." Ron said immediately.

"Be safe," Hermione said.

Harry opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something else, but all that came out was "good luck."

Travis accepted their blessings and separated from the three of them to go to his alchemy room alone.

"I'm afraid Lockhart is feeling proud at this time, right? He made a big splash today."

Closing the door, Travis began to organize the things he would need later.

Travis was not prepared to take action now against Lockhart who didn't know he had been exposed yet.

Such a big change in one holiday, even if Travis didn't know about the basilisk, it would be impossible not to suspect him.

After learning about the basilisk, and then contacting the mysterious and most dangerous magical creature that Lockhart mentioned just before get out of class, if he couldn't guess that Lockhart had a ghost, Travis wouldn't have to be in Hogwarts. Mixed up.

"But now is not the time to take action. Lockhart is a very useful chess piece."

Thinking of this, Travis couldn't help but laugh again.

It has been difficult to recruit professors for the Defense Against the Dark Arts class because of the curse. Even in Travis's memory, there were only a few professors who taught real skills.

Now that there is someone who is willing to teach him real skills, Travis has no reason not to squeeze out all his value.

"By the way, did Lockhart really rely on his own ability to subdue those elves today?"

Travis expressed doubts about this, and Travis preferred to believe that Voldemort had possessed Lockhart and that Voldemort directly controlled Lockhart to complete the lecture.

It would be really interesting if it was like what Travis said.

"Voldemort left angrily because he failed to become the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor and became an enemy of Hogwarts."

"A few years later, in order to take revenge, Voldemort returned to Hogwarts and became the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts as he wished, and then began... to teach his enemies magic?"

"This is really interesting!"

When he thought of this dramatic possibility, Travis suddenly felt like he had seen it in a bloody drama.

But there was one question that Travis had never figured out.

"What is the charm of Defense Against the Dark Arts, and why do both Voldemort and Snape want to be one?"

"Is what you can't get always in a commotion?"

"Then, can I, the one who is favored... also apply for the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor position just for fun?"
