Chapter 97: Gilderoy's Defense Against the Dark Arts Class

Thinking of last night's experience, Harry felt as disgusting as if he had eaten strange beans with the smell of cow dung.

There was nothing wrong with taking a photo with Gilderoy Lockhart. The most important thing was that he actually stood with Malfoy. This feeling was terrible.

Since the photo was taken, Malfoy and Harry were the first to be discussed together. In the words of Fanlin, there is an old Chinese saying called "love and hate each other", which was given to him by Fanlin's Chinese friend.

Although Harry did not understand what this sentence meant, he knew that Fanlin was using this sentence to tease him. And Hermione, saying that the two of them must have been lovers in their previous life, almost drove Harry crazy. Even Laura and Ron's little sister Ginny were laughing. It was really too bad.

"Have you laughed enough..." Harry condemned angrily. He really had no way to deal with these unscrupulous friends of his. Even Fanlin and Hermione, who were usually very serious, were now following Ron and the others to make fun of Harry.

"Sorry... brother..." Fanlin tried to hold back his laughter and tried to make himself serious, but when he thought that the first class today was Gilderoy Lockhart's Defense Against the Dark Arts class, and he was taking it with Slytherin, Fanlin felt funny, which made Fanlin's voice become strange.

"... Ha... Harry." Ron almost couldn't hold back and spit it out, "... Sorry,... But when I think of... you and Malfoy..."

"Please, you laughed all night yesterday!" Harry begged a little, and the three of them quickly covered their mouths with their hands, but it was useless.

When they saw Malfoy sitting in the Slytherin team, the classroom burst into laughter again. Even Gryffindor and Slytherin, I think they would not refuse a common joke.

At this time, Harry and Malfoy wished that they had not come to the classroom at all, but unfortunately, this was not realistic.

The male protagonists in the photo were in the same frame again. If this matter was published in the Daily Prophet, then that issue of the Daily Prophet would definitely be the most popular issue among the young wizards of Hogwarts.

Speaking of newspapers, we have to mention the extracurricular activities of Hogwarts. Second-year students can already carry out club activities. Fred and George are members of the Quidditch Club.

And Fanlin asked Ron, and Ron also planned to take Harry to the Quidditch Club, under the pretext of experiencing Quidditch culture. However, Fanlin suspected that the two of them just wanted to have more time to have fun on the court.

As for Hermione, it is said that she is going to participate in a study club organized by Adams, a fifth-year student of Ravenclaw College. Fanlin once saw this senior named Adams from a distance. His thick glasses were enough to show his love of learning. His pale face, brown hair, and many unknown small pimples on his face were typical scenes of a tyrant who stayed up late to study.

Fanlin also heard that there were very few people in this study club. In addition to the president and Hermione, it was difficult to get ten people together.

It must be admitted that the research of the study club always gets the affirmation of the professors. This may be the reason why this poor club has not been banned yet.

There is even a rumor that a sixth-year Hufflepuff student has recently formed a Gilderoy Lockhart fan club, and it seems to be getting more and more intense.

Fanlin has discussed this matter with Ron and others. They all keep the news secret from Hermione. After returning to the dormitory, Ginny pesters Hermione and asks Fanlin to accompany Hermione to study in her free time, while the rest of the people are responsible for keeping their mouths shut...

This time, Fanlin had to admit that his club already has a tie. He also plans to apply for the music club. Fortunately, there is no limit on the number of clubs. This is still good news, but Fanlin is considering his time problem.

"Hey, my lovely students, welcome to the Defense Against the Dark Arts class. I am your Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, Gilderoy Lockhart."

A voice that Harry least wants to hear came from the second floor of the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom. When Gilderoy Lockhart came down the stairs, Fanlin clearly saw that Malfoy and Harry twisted their bodies unnaturally.

After the whole class was seated, Lockhart cleared his throat and kept silent. He took a step forward, picked up Neville's "Traveling with Giants", and then held the book up to show everyone the smiling and winking portrait of him on the cover.

"I," he said, pointing to the cover and winking, "Gilderoy Lockhart, winner of the Order of Merlin, third class, honorary member of the Dark Magic Defense League, winner of the Witch Weekly's Most Charming Smile Award for five consecutive times - I didn't want to mention this, I didn't make the witches of Wanlun disappear with my smile."

He waited for them to burst into laughter, but only a few people laughed softly.

"I think you bought a set of my books - that's good. Today I will give you a small test, don't worry - this test is just to see how much you have read and how much of the book's content you understand..."

Fanlin could clearly feel the little friends around him tense up. Of course, after a holiday, many people have already returned most of what they have learned.

Of course, except for Hermione next to him, Hermione started to get excited as soon as Gilderoy Lockhart came down.

She was eager to try now. It would be a good choice to get the first place in exchange for Gilderoy's praise.

After handing out the test papers, he returned to the front of the class and said, "You have 30 minutes to answer the questions. OK, start now."

Fan Lin looked at his test paper, which read: 1. What is Gilderoy Lockhart's favorite color?

. What is Gilderoy Lockhart's greatest wish?

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

Almost all of these questions, there are three large sheets of paper. The last question is: 64. When is Gilderoy Lockhart's birthday? What gift does he most want to receive?

"Is this the Defense Against the Dark Arts class?" Fan Lin looked at the test paper in front of him uncertainly. Obviously, these questions are very subversive and can be called milestones in the wizarding world.

"If we are not wrong..." Harry stared at the test paper in his hand. "But are you sure we're not here to do a membership survey for the Gilderoy Lockhart Support Group?"

"I bet if we just rely on classes this semester, we won't learn anything about Defense Against the Dark Arts..." (To be continued)
