Chapter 102 The Sad Gildero (Modified)
Allen actually admired the liar in front of him a little bit! I really know how to find a way for myself. If it is not natural to show off, it is not bad to be a cunning politician with such a thick skin!
"I see you've all bought my complete book - great. I thought we'd start with a quiz today. Don't be afraid - just to see how you're reading and understanding..."
After handing out the papers, Gildero returned to the podium and said, "I'll give you thirty minutes. Now—start!"
Allen looked at the test paper, what does these questions have to do with Defense Against the Dark Arts?
1. Which color is Gilderoy Lockhart's favorite?
2. What is Gilderoy Lockhart's secret ambition?
3. What do you consider Gilderoy Lockhart's greatest achievement to date?
4. And so on, there are three full sides of paper, and the last question is:
5. When is Gilderoy Lockhart's birthday? What's his ideal birthday gift?
Half an hour later, Lockhart put away the test paper and looked at it in front of the whole class.
"Tsk tsk - almost no one remembers that I like lilac color the most. I mentioned it in "A Year with the Snowman in Tibet". A few classmates have to read "Wandering with Werewolves" carefully - I am in Chapter 12 of the book makes it clear that my ideal birthday present is for all magical and non-magical people to live in harmony - but I wouldn't say no to a large bottle of Ogden's Old Fire Whiskey!"
He winked mischievously at them again. But just now his image was too deep in the minds of the students, and many boys laughed unceremoniously.
Speaking of this, Alan raised his hand, "Ah, I remember you, excellent student Alan! Let me take a look at your test paper." Gildero saw Alan and turned out Alan's test paper. "Full marks, Allen answered all my questions correctly! Great!" Lockhart said with a smile, "Very good! Ten points for Ravenclaw!"
In fact, Allen is just not used to leaving all his test papers empty, and he doesn't want to tear up his face with Gildero so quickly. After all, the other party is a professor. A wannabe.
Allen made an expression of admiration, "Professor, speaking of the snowman, no one has been able to get in close contact with it, except you!"
"Of course, I can have close contact with it, and it is very friendly to me." Gildero looked at Allen affectionately.
"In this case, you have lived with the snowman for a year, how did you avoid being swallowed by it? What is it afraid of?" Alan pointed out the problem bluntly. Many bright Ravenclaws saw the problem and looked at Professor Gilderoy Lockhart suspiciously.
You know, the yeti is recognized as a four-star magical creature by the Ministry of Magic, and it is an animal native to Tibet. It is believed that there is an inevitable connection between it and the troll, but no one has been able to get close to this animal to conduct the necessary tests. Yetis can reach heights of fifteen feet and are covered in pure white hair from head to toe. The most important point is that any stray things that hit it while it is walking will be swallowed by it. The snowman is afraid of fire, and a capable wizard may be able to drive it away, but he has been in close contact with it for a year, except for Lockhart's own description, no wizard has ever done it.
"This... um... Maybe you have to find the answer in the book yourself. The library and the sports field should be your good friends for life."
During lunch, Allen found that everyone in the auditorium was talking about Professor Gilderoy Lockhart's unfortunate experience of Gryffindors before Allen and his class. Many people witnessed him being killed by several Cornish The county elf chased them into the office - no wonder Alan and the others had only some safe written exams when they were in class.
It is said that when Allen was in class, the elf who ran out of Lockhart's first class made troubles in the corridors of Hogwarts. Peeves was so excited that he ran up and down, twirled and danced, and helped The elves overturned the armor of the guards, threw away many portraits, and broke several chandeliers. Filch got up and chased them with the broom, but they snatched the broom, grabbed Filch by the ear, picked him up, and threw him outside on the lawn.
The little wizards who wanted to help solve the problem saw Filch, whom they hated, being teased, and they all gloated, but no one made a move. Fortunately, Professor McGonagall passed by, caught the elves making trouble everywhere, and returned them to Professor Lockhart.
This lunch was delicious! Allen ate the apple pie with big mouthfuls, and took a sip of the mushroom soup from time to time. Sensitive ears catch gossip everywhere. Hearing Gildero's unfortunate experience, Allen felt calm and comfortable.
"He just wanted to give us some opportunities to practice." Hermione's voice came, and Allen frowned unconsciously.
"Practice?" Harry's voice was full of suspicion, "Hermione, you think too well of him! But seeing your timetable with Defense Against the Dark Arts painted in the shape of a heart, I can understand you! But I I think he probably doesn’t know how to subdue those elves! If it wasn’t for your freezing spell, I don’t think he would know how to end it!”
"Nonsense," said Hermione, "you've all read his books - think of all the amazing things he did..."
"It's just that he said he did," muttered Ron.
