The Lonely Dragon of Hogwarts

A few days later in the morning, all the second-year Slytherins sat in the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom early.

The atmosphere in the classroom is not good.

The Slytherins had no expression on their faces, didn't speak, and just sat with their heads bowed.

In the past few days, they have been holding tomes and reciting various knowledge points about Lockhart almost every moment.

Naturally, many of them are unwilling to do such a thing.

But no way.

John suppressed and integrated the prefects early on with unified interests and power.

Those prefects shifted the pressure to the ordinary students below.

Slytherin is really strong in internal fighting!

The prefects, who are the heads of various small parties, are even more 'expert' figures among them.

Under the pressure of the prefects' various unimaginable methods, ordinary Slytherins can only be obedient.

As a result, Slytherin, who had been constantly internally conflicted, burst out with amazing power, and in a short period of time, all members had memorized the content about Lockhart.

As a price, there was also a lot of resentment within Slytherin House.

Especially for John.

After all, the prefects are not stupid.

When they suppressed students, they all used John's name.

Most of the resentment was naturally transferred to John.

In this classroom alone, there were many Slytherins secretly looking at John with resentful eyes.

John knew these things well.

But he doesn't care.

He himself had no sense of belonging to Slytherin.

With Snape here and his own strength, the other Slytherins did not dare to use any means to retaliate against him.

Then what is he afraid of?

What's more, John really knows Slytherin too well.

When today's Defense Against the Dark Arts class ends and they see the gains in house points, the attitude of the Slytherins towards him will naturally reverse.

Thinking of this, John sneered and turned his head to look.

This sight directly frightened the Slytherins behind him who were glaring at him and lowered their heads.

At the same time, Lockhart also opened the classroom door.

Today he was wearing a purple robe, with carefully styled hair and a specially trained smile, making the whole person look dazzling.

"Good morning, everyone! I believe you are all looking forward to it...well..."

As soon as he entered the door, Lockhart said loudly.

However, he suddenly got stuck mid-sentence.

Because he suddenly discovered that there were still 5 minutes left before class started. Not only were all the Slytherins here, they were all sitting upright, and the classroom was extremely quiet.

This was the first time he had seen this kind of scene this week.

Students from other colleges are not so disciplined.

Especially Gryffindor.

Not only did many people follow the Weasley twins into the venue, but they also sat crookedly during class, making the scene so noisy that it gave people a headache.

After being stunned for a moment, Lockhart finally reacted.

He cleared his throat loudly, reached for the copy of "Magical Me" on Draco's desk, and held it in his hand, showing the photo of himself winking on the cover.

"I," he said, pointing to his own photo, also winking, "Gilderoy Lockhart, [-]rd Class Order of Merlin, honorary member of the Anti-Dark Arts League, five-time Wizards Weekly's most charming smile Award—but I don’t talk about that, I didn’t drive Wan Lun’s female ghost away with a smile!”

After saying that, Lockhart was ready to give up.

After all, he had often encountered this kind of scene in the past few days.

His popularity within Hogwarts is indeed not as high as expected.

But what he didn't expect was.

After he finished speaking, John began to clap softly.

Following John's actions, the other Slytherins began to applaud as if they were robots who had received instructions.

For a moment, applause filled the entire Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom.

Although the movements of these Slytherins are very stiff and their expressions are not very good-looking, they are obviously forced.

It can be seen that Lockhart's whole body was shaking with excitement!

"Oh my God! Merlin! I'm so... so touched!" Lockhart said, wiping the corners of his eyes. "I didn't expect that I would have so many fans in Slytherin! Thank you so much!"

Draco was so disgusted by these words that he hid in a blind corner where Lockhart couldn't see and made a retching motion.

Goyle and Crabbe beside them were so amused that they couldn't help but want to laugh loudly.

However, when John's cold gaze fell on them, their smiles instantly dissipated, and then returned to their previous fearful appearance.

"I see you've all bought my complete set - that's great. I thought we'd do a little test today. Don't be afraid - just to see how well you read and how much you understand..."

After a while, Lockhart finally returned to normal. He distributed a stack of papers to the Slytherins, then returned to the podium and said, "I'll give you three and ten minutes. Now - start!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Slytherins immediately began to look through the papers.

And when they saw it, they were stunned.

Because the content on this paper was exactly the same as what they had memorized before!

Many Slytherins looked at John with shock on their faces.

But he saw that John was already writing furiously.

Only then did everyone react and started answering questions excitedly.

Half an hour later, Lockhart took the test papers and turned them over in front of the class.

"My Lord Merlin! Each of you actually remembers that I like lilac the most, which I only mentioned once in "A Year with XZ Snowman"! And my secret ambition is to eliminate evil in the world. , and selling my own line of hair conditioners! You guys answered them all!”

Lockhart stood up excitedly, "Great! That's great! Fifty points for Slytherin!"

"boom--"

Lockhart's words were like a bomb that instantly detonated the entire Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom.

The Slytherins all exclaimed in disbelief, and their eyes couldn't help but cast towards John.

They really didn't expect that Lockhart would be so stupid.

Not only did he continue to use the test paper with the same content as John expected, but he also gave Slytherin crazy extra points just because he was being flattered!

You know, that’s a full fifty points!

In a sense, Lockhart is really a fan!

"Okay everyone, please stay calm. This is what you deserve! Now, let's get down to business..."

Lockhart pushed out a wooden box that was one cubic meter in size from under the podium, "Now - be careful! My mission is to teach you to resist the most evil thing known to the wizarding world! What will you do in this classroom? Face the most horrific things. But remember, as long as I'm here, no harm will come to you. All I ask is that you remain calm."

The atmosphere in the classroom suddenly became serious.

The Slytherins looked at Lockhart nervously.

With everyone watching, Lockhart opened the box.

Immediately, a huge, furry gray head poked out.

"Big-headed monster! The terrifying demon from the Goose Kingdom!"

Lockhart said theatrically.

"laugh--"

Draco finally couldn't help but laugh.

He lowered his voice and said to John:

"Lockhart actually calls the big-headed monster the Horrible Demon. I'm really laughing! It's just a little monster special to the Goose Kingdom. In terms of destructive power, it can't even compare to the Cornish elf!"

John nodded.

He understood what Lockhart was thinking.

This guy obviously hasn't given up on the idea of ​​using living animals to teach students yet.

It was only the failure of his previous Cornish elf course that led him to pick out a weaker creature.

"Okay everyone, although this kind of demon is terrifying, it is not invincible! If you encounter this kind of monster in the wild, you only need some simple means to drive them away. For example - kick them !”

As Lockhart spoke, he kicked the wooden box with a proud look on his face.

The next moment, his expression suddenly changed.

Because the wooden box is incredibly light.

He subconsciously glanced into the box.

Sure enough, the box was empty.

Lockhart looked around again, but couldn't find the big-headed monster.

His expression became more and more frightened, and the atmosphere in the classroom became more and more tense.
