The Mightiest Badger at Hogwarts

Chapter 157 Practical Open Class

At dinner time, the students who had been hanging out all afternoon finally returned to the auditorium again.Link also enjoyed dinner surrounded by Cedric and others.Different from the tense atmosphere as imagined, Link's return did not arouse a violent reaction from everyone. Except that people would talk about him from time to time, everything was the same as usual.This is normal, after all, anyone who has the courage and willingness to trouble Link has already been punished by Professor McGonagall.Link didn't care about this either.Now his thoughts were still on Emily and Lockhart.Especially the latter.Lockhart's final performance was really weird.It was so weird that Link had some bold guesses. "Gaba!" After biting the roasted meat in his hand together with the crispy bones inside, Link's expression became determined.Now that things have happened, he doesn't mind doing something outrageous again.As long as he could save the basilisk Arkham and prove to Emily that he was not the heir, even if he was really expelled from Hogwarts, that would be acceptable.At this moment, Cedric, who was sitting next to Link, gave Link a slight push, then pointed at the crowd gathered in the foyer and said, "The parchment on the notice board is Really? Is Lockhart really going to hold a practical open class tonight?" "That's what he said in class today." Link responded expressionlessly.Cedric couldn't help but chuckle. "Ha! What is he going to do? Continue to play a drama about fighting for me?" Hearing this, the Hufflepuffs sitting around also burst into laughter. One of the tall boys also echoed: "That's actually true. It's good, I've been bored to death during this period! Even Lockhart's boring drama can be fun, can't it?" As soon as he said this, the laughter around him became even louder.However, Link shook his head inconspicuously.He knew very well that if his conjecture was true, tonight's open class would be particularly exciting! ... Two hours later, Lockhart finally appeared in the auditorium.Different from the afternoon class, he now put on a set of classic outdoor clothes that were tight-fitting and tightened at the wrists and ankles, which were obviously more suitable for activities. He also wore a triangular boat hat on his head.For some reason, when looking at him, Link always felt like he had seen Robin Hood in the picture books of the 70s and 1s.Especially since his whole body from hat to trousers is all light green... But Lockhart feels very good about himself. He couldn't help but pose as soon as he appeared, and at the same time signed autographs for the fans who still follow him until now. .Of course, this name is not signed for free.In the midst of the commotion, these fans who got the autographs were quickly directed by Lockhart to start setting up the open class venue.The specific method is also very simple.Just move all the long tables from the four major colleges, choose one of them and place it in the center of the auditorium, and finally lay a thick layer of dark purple carpet on it.Unfortunately, this sounds easy to say, but when it comes to choosing a long stage table, you get stuck.Because no one wants the table they use to eat every day to be stepped on.In the end, Professor McGonagall arrived and conjured up a brand new long table, which finally helped Lockhart solve the venue problem. "Classmates, I now announce that today's open class has officially begun!" Lockhart raised his hands and shouted at the long table, which was more than half a person tall, like a host in a circus announcing the start of a performance.The 'audience' in the audience was also very supportive, applauding and cheering, extremely excited.As if there was actually going to be a burlesque show later on.In fact, except for Link and other students who just took the Defense Against the Dark Arts class today, most other people really think so.Their thoughts were the same as Cedric's, they only regarded this open class as a fun part of their boring house arrest life.As for Lockhart actually being able to teach them something, they never had any hope.Lockhart clearly wanted to get the students to take things seriously.So after the opening, he began to briefly describe the theoretical knowledge he had talked about in the afternoon class.It was a pity that the crowd, whose interest was already aroused, had no intention of listening to his lecture, and they protested loudly one after another.Suddenly, the auditorium became noisy and chaotic again.At this time, Snape, Professor Flitwick and others were sitting quietly in their seats watching the show, with no intention of going up to help. Even Professor McGonagall, who usually disliked students messing around the most, also the same.After all, the students needed to vent, and she didn't like Lockhart either... Amidst the boos, Lockhart put the tip of his wand against his throat, and after releasing the amplifying spell, he said loudly: "Okay, everyone, please calm down. Now let's enter the formal practical demonstration stage. But before we start, I need two classmates to be the opponents of the practical demonstration. How about it? Is anyone willing to try it?" As soon as it came out, the students who were still noisy in the audience suddenly became quiet.Everyone was already frightened by Lockhart's previous 'drama performance teaching', and no one wanted to suffer.This embarrassed Lockhart.He scratched his head, and suddenly his eyes lit up as if he thought of something interesting. He pointed in the direction of Slytherin House and shouted, "It's just you, Student Malfoy! Please come up!" Everyone's eyes immediately followed. The direction Lockhart pointed moved to Draco, and immediately the crowd burst into cheers! "Oh! Malfoy! Come up!" "I heard no Malfoy! Are you a coward?" "I bet 10 gold Galleons that coward Malfoy dare not go up!" "I bet [-] silver Sickles!" "I bet too!" ... In the midst of the commotion, Malfoy's expression instantly changed from calm to surprised, and then from surprised to gloomy. The speed of the change was comparable to the face-changing in Sichuan Opera.He heard it.The Gryffindor side was the loudest in the crowd. This was Chiguoguo's revenge!However, others have said so, does he still have room to refuse?Gritting his teeth, Draco slowly climbed onto the long table.Upon seeing this, there was another burst of laughter and whistles from the audience. "Don't be nervous, kid, they are all jealous of you! As the heir of the Malfoy family, you have to get used to being noticed." Lockhart patted Draco on the shoulder to comfort him.Hearing this, Draco nodded and his expression became slightly better.After all, although the reason Lockhart gave was unreliable, it was quite effective for self-comfort.But Draco's expression soon fell again.Because Lockhart had just finished comforting him with his front leg, and his back leg shouted loudly: "Then we will invite another opponent next! Link Foley!!~"
