Azkaban: The Fifth House of Hogwarts

"You are the last person chosen by the crown, right?"

Lockhart said to the mirror.

"Oh, it's a pity, it's a pity, Tom, you are not as good as me after all. Although you must have tried your best to show yourself, the crown still did not choose you in the end."

"We are equally lucky, because you also have it, but unfortunately, there is a chasm-like gap between our talents. Look, I was easily recognized, but you can only leave a part of your existence. Use the traces of your past to show off your past glory to the lucky ones who come later."

"This is so superficial. No wonder you are not recognized by the Ravenclaw Diadem. You need to be as broad-minded and talented as me."

"But it's not your fault. After all, Tom is an ordinary name. It's not as catchy and eye-catching as Lockhart. If you were still alive now, I would definitely not be stingy about signing it for you, but the most important thing is Yes, you have to keep our secret, otherwise I, the genius, may use some gentle methods on you."

The eight-toothed smile looked so dazzling in the mirror, and Lockhart himself was very satisfied.

Lockhart opened the wardrobe and was choosing a hat. He did not intend to put on the Ravenclaw crown openly. Although he wanted to do so, he also believed that if other people saw the crown, they would definitely think that Lockhart It is the crown that makes it so dazzling.

What he wants to be seen is his own dazzling genius. The crown is just a trivial assistant. Without himself as a genius, stupid ordinary people cannot make the crown realize its true value.

Just like Tom, whose name is ridiculous, his name of Cat and Dog destined him to become an inconspicuous little character.

Because of this high self-esteem, although Lockhart discovered that Tom had slipped a lot of things into this crown, he didn't bother to look at it at all. At this moment, his mind was extremely clear and he was immersed in reaching the peak of his life. Marrying Bai Fumei into the legendary and glorious life.

After a period of narcissism, Lockhart gradually came back to his senses in the morning sunshine. He had not forgotten that he was still the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts.

But compared to before, Lockhart, who was more confident than before, was not afraid of any challenges at all.

"Maybe I should be more serious and let those kids get to know the serious Professor Lockhart!"

His mouth was filled with confidence and his eyes were stern.

"Oops, I haven't had dental care in two days! If there's any damage to my smile—"

Lockhart, who couldn't imagine this scene at all, immediately put all the preparation of lesson plans behind him. The next thing he wanted to do was to win the sixth Wizarding Weekly Best Charming Smile Award.

Lockhart hurriedly rushed into the bathroom and took out a tool bag with many items. After brushing his teeth with several different things, he also applied some paste liquid on the teeth and used a white cloth for final polishing.

If you stand in the sun, the light reflected by these white teeth is enough to make people cover their eyes and shout, 'Why is it so dazzling?'

In order to make up for the losses of the previous two days, the maintenance time this time was particularly long, so that Lockhart missed breakfast. After he had tidied up and dressed up inside and out, he put on a bowler hat. He left his office with his head held high.

Hidden within the hat is Ravenclaw's diadem, so no one will be able to spot it after it's hidden.

This morning's class is for the fourth-year students of Gryffindor and Ravenclaw. However, the students who have already arrived in the classroom have no hope for today's class. They even doubt whether Lockhart can teach them. Attend class.

Although he was secretly discharged from the hospital, the little wizards didn't think that Lockhart had the nerve to stay at Hogwarts to teach them after making such a big embarrassment.

At one minute to nine o'clock, the classroom was still noisy and noisy. The students were chatting loudly. Many boys gathered around the Weasley twins and discussed with great interest the prank props they displayed.

It was an improved hard-drawn firework. This kind of magical firework that can automatically set off and be enlightened by water has become more interesting after being modified by Fred and George.

"Why don't you put one in and try it!"

Lee Jordan eagerly encouraged from the side, "Lockhart won't be coming to class anyway, so why not turn this class into a fireworks show and let us see your new tricks!"

"It's one galleon. The cost of this thing is not low. In fact, there is still a lot of room for improvement. We plan to go to Professor Flitwick to inquire and see if we can get some help."

Although the twins also wanted to try it, they were accustomed to saving and still liked to make maximum use of the experimental products. Although their experimental funds were still sufficient, saving some money was definitely not a bad thing.

"Don't be such a spoiler, Fred, George."

A group of boys cheered: "The girls are also waiting to see. We just made a bet that this will definitely make them look at you two with admiration. This is a great opportunity, right?"

The twins were a little shaken by the instigation of a group of people, especially George, who was still single, and he was quite ready to make a move.

The twins exchanged glances, nodded and smiled brightly.

"Then give it a try. Don't be stunned."

They took out a firework about the thickness of a thumb and the length of a wand, stood it on the table, and then tapped it lightly with the wand.

Fireworks that ejected countless bright sparks from their tails were ignited, and the fireworks shot into the sky instantly over the classroom. Dozens of small meteors exploded in the sky, and the colorful colors attracted everyone's attention.

But at this moment, the classroom door opened.

"Oh, no, be careful, Professor Lockhart."

The twins, who suppressed their evil smiles very well, shouted in surprise. The fireworks flying and exploding in the sky converged into a colorful strip of light, ready to have a close contact with Lockhart.

"This is a new way to welcome me, right?"

Lockhart, who was in high spirits, was not frightened by the fireworks. Instead, he smiled happily.

He quickly drew out his wand and waved it, and the fireworks that were originally rushing towards him changed their trajectory instantly. However, due to the influence of the spell, dozens of fireworks exploded violently in mid-air. After spraying out countless colorful light curtains, the number was directly The doubled fireworks have a larger scale than before.

"There is nothing more joyful than this grand welcome ceremony. Five points for Gryffindor. I like it very much."

These words made the twins suddenly startled, wondering if Lockhart had made a mistake.

"But class has started now, so let's stop the welcome ceremony here for now."

The most commonly used spell to clear such magic props is the disappearing spell and the stun spell. The stun spell can cause these small props to strike when they hit these small magic tricks, as if the person has been knocked unconscious.

But because the twins knew this, once someone used these two magics on the fireworks, they would explode more violently, even multiply, and chase the person who cast the spell.

The twins were ready to see the joke. If they guessed correctly, the red sparks fired from Lockhart's wand must be the stun spell.

Sure enough, after the red sparks fired by the wand collided with the fireworks, the fireworks exploded into brilliant flames and blew the classroom chandelier dangerously.

Lockhart pressed his hat with one hand and waved his wand again. The fireworks that had just survived the explosion were hit by the new magic. The number of fireworks increased several times in an instant, hovering in the air, and then like a rain of arrows. He rushed towards Lockhart headlong.

"Aha! What an ingenious design, but it won't trouble your great Professor Lockhart."

With the last finger of the wand, the fireworks that suddenly went out halfway emitted black smoke as if they were drowning, and disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving only a bit of choking black ash.

"Okay, okay, put away your surprised eyes. This is just a trivial display. What I am going to teach you next is a true treasure, a treasure that will be used for a lifetime."

"What new story are you going to perform today?"

Although they were surprised by Lockhart's display of magic, the little wizards couldn't help but let out a low laugh when they thought of the fun they saw yesterday.

"The adventure stories I have experienced are too difficult for you, so in this class I will teach you some simple and fragmentary things."

Lockhart spoke with a smile on his face, not annoyed at all.

"I believe that each of you has read my book "Breaking with the Female Ghost". The attentive students should have discovered that I mentioned a very interesting little guy in Chapter 7 of the book."

"Now turn the book over there. Today I'm going to introduce to you the little naughty boy who often accompanies the female ghost in the dark old house, Lakrapu who ate my shoes. Don't underestimate this kind of thing, which is nothing like a tattered carpet. The little thing that makes the difference, if it were someone else, it would be more than just a pair of shoes that would be eaten."

Lockhart, who started the lecture seriously, once again refreshed the three views of the young wizards. Even the twins took a breath and forgot to spit it out, hoping not to suffocate themselves to death.

"Is this the same Lockhart from yesterday who couldn't even use the second spell and chose to use the stupidest Oblivion Curse to deal with the troll???"

After the bell rang, the twins, who had remained sluggish throughout the entire class, commented in disbelief, "Did the troll's club smash his head open?"

"Perhaps the real Lockhart has been killed, and the corpse now teaching us is a corpse possessed by some ghost?"

The increasingly outrageous speculations made the two of them start to feel scared. Although this class was not so exciting that it made people wow, but once compared with the previous unusually unreliable Defense Against the Dark Arts professors, compared with the one from two days ago. Lockhart than....

This mediocre course can definitely kill them all!

A sudden new wind revived the hopeless and disappointed Lockhart fans.

They had a vague premonition that something terrible was about to happen. For a while, the Lockhart Support Club, which had been disbanded, was rebuilt again. The star-chasing trend that had just been extinguished seemed to be rekindled at this time and became unstoppable.

Like a new king ascending the throne, Hogwarts ushered in unprecedented heated discussions.
