Chapter 176 Are You Sure He Is Not Endorsing Toothpaste?
In the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom,
Ivan, who hadn't seen Lockhart come to class for a long time, was very surprised. Could this guy really quit his job and run away?
There were many young wizards who had the same thoughts as Ivan. There were more than one or two people who heard their conversation in the corridor. The news had already spread during such a long waiting period.
Only fans who admire Lockhart still firmly believe that their idol will never be scared away by a small curse.
Hermione was somewhat shaken, and Ron was making a bet with her that Lockhart would definitely not come, and they would not have to take Defense Against the Dark Arts classes for a whole year.
However, the facts hit Ron in the face again. The moment he finished speaking, Lockhart's figure appeared at the door of the classroom, with that iconic smile still on his face, so white that it glowed The flash of teeth dazzled all the young wizards.
Lockhart said quickly as he quickly walked up to the stage.
"Hello everyone! I guess you must have been wondering where your Defense Against the Dark Arts professor has gone. He didn't want to go home in despair after hearing the rumors about the curse!"
Speaking of this, Lockhart lowered his voice, checked the expressions on the faces of each young wizard, and after fully raising everyone's interest, he spoke in a high tone.
"Of course this is impossible! I am Gilderoy Lockhart! A recipient of the Order of Merlin, Level 3, an honorary member of the Defense League against Dark Arts, and a five-time winner of the "Wizard Weekly" Most Charming Smile Award!"
There was sparse applause from the audience, mostly the little witches, and they were the only ones who still retained some trust in Lockhart. The other little wizards looked at him with doubt.
Lockhart's return undoubtedly made Hermione feel proud. She glared at Ron proudly, then stood up and said loudly.
"I think you will not be afraid of curses, Professor! Because you once said in your autobiography "Breaking with the Female Ghost" that no one in the entire magical world knows how to lift curses better than you!"
"That's right! Ten points for Gryffindor!" Lockhart's face darkened. He felt tired when he heard these words, but he had to hold his nose and give Hermione points.
"Then Professor, why did you go to the principal's office?"
Suddenly a little wizard asked in the audience. After realizing it, Lockhart looked around and couldn't find who said it, but it obviously didn't bother him. After clearing his throat, Lockhart spoke out. explained.
"Good question! After I learned that this position might be cursed, I immediately found your principal Dumbledore so that I could understand the ins and outs of the curse and prepare to find an opportunity to break it!"
After saying this, Lockhart winked playfully and continued.
"I guess you can't imagine what I found in the principal's office. Principal Dumbledore was secretly looking through my books in the principal's office! Before that, I never thought that this old cunning guy was also mine. fan"
Harry was shocked when he heard this in the audience. He could not imagine that Professor Dumbledore would admire Lockhart as much as Hermione did. This must be the craziest thing he has heard this year!
Ivan looked at Lockhart talking eloquently on the stage and couldn't help but sigh that the other person was indeed a veteran liar. Not only was he incredibly thick-skinned, but he could always find a way to make things right for the stupid things he had done before.
In a sense, this is really a talent!
If Lockhart hadn't been too obsessed with fame and had done a lot of stupid things in the original time and space that were not in line with his own strength (such as trying to challenge Snape), he wouldn't have been in school in a few months. The reputation here is in disrepute.
Next, Lockhart spent an entire class telling everyone how he persuaded Principal Dumbledore to reveal the cursed information.
When talking about rising, Lockhart also asked Neville on his right to come up and play Dumbledore, and cooperated with him to recreate the scene at that time. The little wizards below were stunned for a moment.
It is worth mentioning that when Lockhart planned to find an assistant, Hermione immediately raised her hand high. Unfortunately, Lockhart pretended not to see it at all.
Because now he just wants to stay away from the two little wizards who killed the professor, including their friend Hermione.
"Lockhart actually dared to say that Dumbledore was his fan during class. This is so ridiculous!" After class, Harry, who returned to the Gryffindor lounge all the way, couldn't bear it anymore and complained about Lockhart. Very unrealistic remarks.
Ron nodded frequently for a while.
Although Lockhart's repeated blows made Hermione very depressed, she still subconsciously helped. "That's not necessarily true. Professor Lockhart's book is so well written, maybe Principal Dumbledore will read it too!"
The three of them soon started arguing on this issue.
Ivan did not participate in the discussion, and was looking at the homework Lockhart left for them, or a questionnaire, which they needed to fill out in the next class.
I found that there were three pages on it, with dozens of questions.
1.What is Gilderoy Lockhart’s favorite color?
2. What is Gilderoy Lockhart’s secret ambition?
3. What do you think is Gilderoy Lockhart’s greatest achievement to date?
Ivan turned over and over again,
What made him a little uncomfortable was that he could answer most of these questions. Could it be that he was also a die-hard Lockhart fan?
Ivan fell into confusion. It took him a while to remember that he had read "Walking with Trolls" by Lockhart last year in order to investigate the habits of trolls. When investigating werewolves, he also read "With Werewolves". "Wandering", I unknowingly memorized a lot of content related to Lockhart.
"Ivan, what do you think?" Hermione argued fiercely with the two for a while, then turned to seek Ivan's opinion.
Harry and Ron also looked over here, and they felt that Ivan would definitely be on their side.
But what stunned them was that Ivan was carefully filling out the questionnaire left by Gilderoy Lockhart, and it seemed that one-third of it had been completed.
Hermione happily leaned over to take a look, but soon frowned again. She clicked on the third question on the test paper and corrected it.
"That's the wrong wording. Professor Lockhart's secret ambition is to rid the world of evil and sell a line of hair conditioners, not to promote his toothpaste!"
Ivan looked a little strange,
What, isn’t Lockhart endorsing toothpaste? Then why are his teeth so bright?
