Chapter 189 A Farce

As several people walked into the classroom with Lockhart, this year's Defense Against the Dark Arts class officially began.

After entering the classroom, Fish did not turn into a cat and crawl into the desk drawer to sleep as usual, but sat obediently in his seat, looking forward to what stories Lockhart would tell later.

As for the "Lockhart Story Collection" that he liked very much...

Except for Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration class, Fish never brought textbooks.

"Ahem!"

Standing at the front of the classroom, Lockhart cleared his throat loudly, attracting everyone's attention, and then picked up "Walking with Trolls" on Neville's desk, showing a smile exactly like his photo on the cover.

"I, Gilderoy Lockhart, Merlin, Third Class Medal, Honorary Member of the Defense Against the Dark Arts League, and five-time winner of the "Wizard Weekly" Most Charming Smile Award - but I don't talk about that, I didn't drive away the female ghost of Wanlun with a smile!"

He repeated the honors he had won in a clichéd way and told a not-so-funny joke.

Then there was a sparse laugh from the audience - all of them were sneers of disdain.

"But, Professor Gilderoy..." (●ΦωΦ●)

The honest little cat raised his hand and said without realizing it: "You have heard this paragraph several times, meow."

Lockhart's expression froze, and then the students in the classroom burst into laughter, and Ron even pounded the table exaggeratedly.

However, this level of embarrassment could not embarrass Lockhart, who had experienced many battles. He quickly explained with a smile: "Oh, of course, I have said a little too much recently, because I think as your professor, it is necessary for you to carefully understand all aspects of me."

Ron curled his lips in disdain below, not believing his words at all, and there were many people who shared the same view as him.

Instead, the simple-minded Fish easily believed Lockhart's statement. He nodded and frowned in agreement, "Fish sometimes has to talk to Minerva many times before she is willing to buy me new toys."ω

After solving Fish's interruption, Lockhart continued to talk about this topic.

"It just so happens that I prepared a small test today. Don't be afraid - just to see how much you know about me and how much of my works you have read..."

He took out a stack of papers and handed them out, then returned to the podium, "Give you thirty minutes. Now... start!"

Fish looked at the papers in his hand with a bitter face. He didn't really want to do this test, but he wanted to listen to Lockhart's story, so he was in a dilemma for a while.

Although the other students disliked Lockhart in various ways, no matter what, he was a professor, so they still picked up the feather pen and filled it in obediently.

Fish saw that everyone else had started writing, and felt that it was not good for him to just sit there, so he asked Parvati next to him to borrow a feather pen and began to write on the paper.

1. What is Gilderoy Lockhart's favorite color?

Fish looked up at Lockhart on the podium - a turquoise robe and a turquoise hat with a gold rim, so the answer was obvious.

2. What is Gilderoy Lockhart's secret ambition?

I don't know.

The kitten wrote down the answer honestly.

3. What do you think is Gilderoy Lockhart's greatest achievement so far?

He wrote a lot of interesting stories.

...

Because the questions on the test paper were all simple, Fish answered them very quickly. The main reason was that he didn't know most of the questions.

Soon, Fish finished the last question.

54. When is Gilderoy Lockhart's birthday? What is his ideal birthday gift?

I don't know! Delicious!

After finishing the last question, Fish returned the quill to Parvati, and then held the test paper high, "Professor Gilderoy, Fish is done, meow!" (●ΦωΦ●)

At this time, less than five minutes had passed.

"Really? Let me see!"

Lockhart walked to Fish's side with a beaming face and collected his paper.

Then he looked at the "I don't know" written in childish handwriting all over the paper and fell silent.

"Ahaha..." Lockhart, who had been planning to read Fish's paper and comment on it, laughed dryly twice and put the paper on the podium, "It seems that Fish is not very serious when reading the book. I have written all these contents in the book."

"Meow?"ω

Fisch tilted his head and asked in confusion: "But Fish has never heard meow."

"Listen?" Lockhart noticed the abnormality in Fish's words.

"That's right. Fish doesn't like reading. Minerva read your books to Fish as bedtime stories."

"Bedtime... bedtime stories..."

Lockhart twitched his lips, still finding an angle to praise himself, "It seems that Professor McGonagall still recognizes my works."

Perhaps worried that Fish would say something that would make him embarrassed, Lockhart quickly ended the conversation, "Okay, let's not disturb other students doing their homework, please keep quiet."

Fish also cooperated and closed his mouth, then took out a golden snitch from his magic pocket and started to catch it for fun.

Half an hour later, Lockhart collected all the papers, reviewing them while flipping through them.

But obviously, no one was very interested in the correct answer. Seamus and Dean even laughed silently until they were shaking.

"The only one who gets perfect marks is Miss Hermione Granger! Good girl! Where is Miss Hermione Granger?"

Hermione raised her hands tremblingly, and the surprised looks from all around made her feel ashamed and angry. But before the school started, how could she know that Gilderoy Lockhart was such a person, and she didn't go out of her way to read those contents. Memorize it, just remember it by the way, what can she do?

"Ten points from Gryffindor!" Lockhart looked very happy.

But this was the first time Hermione couldn't be happy when the professor gave her extra points.

"Now, let's get down to business..."

After praising Hermione, Lockhart pulled out a large cage covered with cloth from behind the podium.

"Now - beware! My mission is to teach you to defend yourself against the most evil the wizarding world has ever known!"

It has to be said that Lockhart is still good at mobilizing the atmosphere. His words made everyone fall silent and stare firmly at the large covered cage.

"You will face the most horrific things in this classroom. But remember, as long as I am here, no harm will come to you. All I ask is that you remain calm."

Lockhart continued to speak alarmingly, and Neville in the first row even shrank back under the influence of his words.

Seeing that the atmosphere was almost heightened, Lockhart suddenly lifted the cover on the cage.

"Freshly caught Cornwall elf!"

"puff……"

Seamus couldn't help but let out a scoff.

Elves are not rare magical creatures. Although they are magically leveled to the XXX level, they are not dangerous at all. They just like to play pranks and will not harm humans.

Seeing that most of the students, like Seamus, were dismissive of the elf in the cage, Lockhart's face became a little confused.

"Don't underestimate them!" He shook his finger in annoyance, "They may be as cunning little destroyers as the devil!"

But Seamus was still laughing, and laughing until he was out of breath.

"Well," shouted Lockhart, opening the cage, "let's see what you do with them!"

The livid elves immediately flew out of the cage.

In Lockhart's expectation, they would start playing pranks as soon as they came out, and then stand up while the students were in a hurry, receiving their adoring eyes and applause.

However, the development of things was different from what he imagined. After the elves flew out, they swarmed around Feishu and shouted at him.

"Hello, meow." (●ΦωΦ●)

Fish greeted them warmly and listened carefully for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, Fish took out his magic pocket, took out a lot of food, and distributed it to the elves.

"Professor Gilderoy, you're starving them."ω

While distributing the food, Fish frowned and said to Lockhart: "They said you haven't fed them since you bought them back. They haven't eaten for several days... What you did is wrong. Meow."

What Fish said was obviously inconsistent with Lockhart's previous statement of "just caught", but everyone definitely believed Fish.

And this is also true. Lockhart decided the content of the first lesson very early, but he also knew his own level and was worried that he would not be able to handle these elves, so he deliberately starved them for a few days in order to weaken them. they.

"Oh...yeah, that's it...I mean, maybe I forgot..."

Lockhart obviously did not expect that things would develop like this, and Fish seemed to be able to communicate with the elves, which caused some confusion in his thinking.

But he quickly regained his composure, "Obviously, this is not a normal situation," Lockhart's voice became high-spirited again, "But it is also a good opportunity!"

At this moment, Lockhart actually agreed with Professor Sprout. He smiled and said to the other students: "This is a rare opportunity to get up close and personal with these little villains!"

As he spoke, he touched one of the elves. As a result, the elf turned its head and took a bite of Lockhart's palm. Its sharp teeth tore open his skin in an instant, and blood poured out from the wound.

"I'm hurt!" Lockhart screamed like a little girl. He covered his bleeding palms and rushed out the door with a pale face. "Come here! I'm hurt! Doctor! Doctor Where?!"

Because Lockhart ran so fast, Fish didn't even have time to rejuvenate him.

"Meow?"

Fish, who had raised his hand halfway, put his hand on his head and scratched his hair, a little confused about Lockhart's behavior.

But since he couldn't figure it out, he didn't bother to think about it. Fish returned his attention to the group of elves and called on other students to feed them.

So the first period of Defense Against the Dark Arts class this semester was turned into a Care of Magical Creatures class by Fei Xu.
