Chapter 190 Storytelling

By dinner time, the drama in Defense Against the Dark Arts was well known.

Gilderoy Lockhart has never appeared in the Great Hall, either because he was afraid of being asked, or because the injury on his hand had not healed yet.

Students from the four colleges were talking about it.

Although Lockhart was annoying before, most people still recognized his strength. After all, he had been certified by the Ministry of Magic and the Defense Against the Dark Arts.

So after hearing that he was actually bitten by an elf, many people felt incredible.

"Maybe he was just careless... He just wanted to show intimacy at the time, didn't he? And he didn't even pull out the wand."

Hermione analyzed it rigorously, not that she wanted to speak for Lockhart, but after experiencing the Philosopher's Stone incident last semester, she would subconsciously think more about it when looking at problems.

However, Ron, or most Gryffindors, would not think so much. They had already determined that Lockhart was a reputation-seeking person.

"Come on, Hermione," Ron waved his hand and said disdainfully: "Lockhart is a liar. You can't think he is a good professor just because he praised you in class."

"I don't think he is a good professor!"

Hermione glared at Ron angrily, as if she was insulted.

"I'm just reminding you not to draw conclusions about a person easily. Think of Quirrell and Snape last semester!"

After saying that, she picked up her dinner plate and ran to Fish.

"Hermione's right."

Compared to Ron, who had passed out early, Harry, who had experienced more behind the trap door last semester, actually listened.

He said to Ron who was still mumbling: "We can't think of Lockhart as an ignorant guy so easily... although he is indeed very annoying."

"Okay, okay..." Ron shrugged, but he still insisted on his opinion and teased in a flirtatious tone: "Then I will just look forward to the next Defense Against the Dark Arts class. I hope Loha will be there by then." Te’s hand is already healed.”

Mentioning this matter, even Harry couldn't help but smile on his face.

"It should be no problem. Madam Pomfrey's medical skills are very powerful. Besides..."

Harry teased: "Didn't Lockhart also brag about his medical skills?"

Even though he agreed with Hermione's statement, Harry still believed that Lockhart was a liar, just like Ron.

Such disagreements occurred everywhere in the auditorium. There were many people who thought Lockhart had a false reputation, and those who thought Lockhart just made a mistake. So gradually, everyone began to look forward to Lockhart's next Defense Against the Dark Arts class. Come.

As long as there is another Defense Against the Dark Arts class without Fish, everyone should be able to find out Lockhart's true level.

But unfortunately, because Lockhart felt that the injury on his hand was detrimental to his grace, he refused to appear in front of others until the wound was completely healed.

The elf's saliva seems to have some special ingredients. It is not difficult to heal, but it will take some time to completely remove the scars...

In fact, Madam Pomfrey didn't want to bother with this at all, and it wasn't a serious injury, but Lockhart was considered a colleague anyway, so she had no choice but to pinch his nose and prescribe him a potion to remove the scar.

As a result, Lockhart was not very satisfied because the medicine prescribed by Madam Pomfrey was a bit strong and spicy when applied, and he was worried that it would damage his skin.

When he made new demands, hoping to change to an ointment that was more in line with his wishes, Madam Pomfrey finally couldn't bear it anymore and kicked him out.

While Lockhart was waiting for the scar to disappear, the task of teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts temporarily fell to other professors.

To be precise, it was on the heads of the four major deans.

In short, if the dean's course does not conflict with the Defense Against Dark Arts class of the day, the dean will temporarily take over that class.

Over the past few days, students of different grades from different colleges experienced the Defense Against the Dark Arts classes taught by Professor Flitwick, Professor McGonagall, and Professor Sprout.

In addition to Professor Snape, who temporarily took over the Defense Against the Dark Arts class last semester, everyone has experienced the courses of the four deans.

Among them, the most critically acclaimed is none other than Professor Flitwick's temporary course.

Needless to say, Professor Snape’s classes are not liked by any student except Slytherin.

The courses taught by Professor McGonagall and Professor Sprout vary according to situation. The senior students are full of praise, while the evaluation of the lower students is not as good as Professor Flitwick...

But there is nothing that can be done about it. The defense against the dark arts class in the lower grades mainly allows students to learn about some dangerous creatures and curses. The old-fashioned Professor McGonagall and the law-abiding Professor Sprout basically follow the script.

But even so, it was much better than the stuttering Quirrell and the injured Lockhart after only one class.

Professor Flitwick's courses are much more flexible. As a professor of Charms and the dean of Ravenclaw, he prefers to let students do a lot of practice, which naturally makes him more popular with younger students.

"Who do you think will be our substitute teacher today?"

Soon, Harry and the others were about to have their second Defense Against the Dark Arts class, and everyone was discussing it with great interest.

As for observing Lockhart's reality...is it that important?

"I hope it's Professor Flitwick," Seamus said excitedly, "Those first and second year students who have taken his class have given him very high praise!"

"As long as it's not Snape."

Neville's requirements were not high, and Harry on the side nodded in agreement.

"What are you talking about?"ω

Fish, who never paid attention to these things, looked at Harry and others who were discussing heatedly with confusion.

Dean quickly explained to Fish, but Fish didn't seem very happy.

He was still waiting for Lockhart to tell him a story!

"Gilderoy is not coming? And it might be Minerva who is coming?"

∑(●ΦДΦ●)

If that's the case, doesn't he even know if he can sleep?

That's terrible!

Just when everyone was looking forward to it and Fish was worried, the door of the classroom was pushed open, and Lockhart, with a smile on his face, strode in. On his bitten hand, there was no scar, not even a red mark.

"Long time no see! My lovely students! Sorry to have kept you waiting!"

The students below all groaned in frustration, and Seamus slammed his head heavily on the table with a "bang".

Only Fish clapped his hands excitedly.

"Professor Gilderoy! Are we going to tell a story today?!"

(●ω●)

Fish stared at Lockhart with burning eyes and asked expectantly.

"Aha!"

Lockhart tapped Fish twice with his fingers and said happily: "I even suspected that you used Legilimency on me... That's right! Today, let everyone follow the great Gilderoy Lockhart and enjoy his thrilling adventure!"

The students below looked bored and did not react. Only Fish clapped his hands in support.

Encouraged by Fish, Lockhart became even more excited. He first bowed in different directions of the audience like a stage actor, as if everyone else was applauding.

"Thank you! Thank you!"

After standing up, Lockhart raised his voice again and pointed at Fish and said, "As a thank you, you will choose today's course. This is a special benefit! What do you want to listen to?"

"Werewolf! Fish wants to listen to the story of werewolves, meow!"

(●ΦωΦ●)

Fish responded immediately. Although he knew that he was different from Minerva, he was still interested in humans who could transform into different animals.

"Ah, Wandering with Werewolves!" With Fish as a little supporting role, Lockhart's performance was also very stable. "This is probably the book I am most satisfied with."

In fact, as long as he wrote it himself, he was most satisfied.

Harry and others looked at the interaction between Lockhart and Fish helplessly. They wanted to remind him in their hearts, but seeing the kitten's expectant look, they couldn't bear to burst his fantasy...

Forget it, as long as Fish is happy.

In the end, everyone could only reluctantly accompany Fish to listen to Lockhart bragging.
