Chapter 17 Luna Lovegood

The next day, sophomores have their first class in Defense Against the Dark Arts.

Although Lockhart's class yesterday almost became a joke, that didn't stop the girls from continuing to adore him. For example, Hermione, she has always stubbornly believed that Lockhart deliberately released the elf to give everyone a chance to practice.

So when Ivan rushed to the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, he was not surprised to see all the girls sitting in the front row of the class.

After the class was seated, Lockhart walked into the classroom, still looking radiant.

"Hello everyone, I think you all know me!" He blinked, revealing eight white teeth, "Gildrow Lockhart, third-class Order of Merlin, honorary member of the Anti-Dark Magic Alliance, five Won the "Witcher Weekly" Award for Most Charming Smile for the second time, but I never talk about it, I don't use a smile to exorcise Wan Lun's female ghost!"

Very old-fashioned opening remarks, Ai Wen is sure he said the same yesterday.

"Very well, I see that you all bought my full set of books, I think we will take a quiz today, maybe you already know some information from the seniors, but I have to regret to tell you that today's The test questions are completely different from yesterday." He handed the test papers to everyone, "Give you thirty minutes, start now!"

Ivan looked at the test paper in his hand, which included questions such as what is Gilderoy Lockhart's favorite food, Gilderoy Lockhart's greatest wish, and Gilderoy Lockhart's greatest achievement so far. More than fifty.

Ai Wen covered his forehead weakly. In fact, he didn't know the answer to a question, and he didn't buy Lockhart's books at all.

But it didn't matter, he bit his quill and thought for a while, and began to write on the test paper. He was going to tell Lockhart about the "Hogwarts Wizarding News" and invited him to be a long-term publicity target for the "Character" column. Of course, Ivan used the tone of an admirer to describe this matter.

On the test paper in hand, he tried to describe himself as a mad admirer of Lockhart.

Although Ai Wen is not, it is very simple, because there are many people around him who can be used as a reference.

He tried to imitate Hermione's tone as much as possible. In his description, "Hogwarts Wizard" is a newspaper specially run for Lockhart himself. Ivan intends to use this newspaper to show him to Lockhart fans. Photos and daily routines of coaching at Hogwarts helped him further expand his influence.

Ai Wen spent a lot of pen and ink describing the benefits of doing so, and when he finished writing the letter full of exaggerated compliments, it was just thirty minutes.

Afterwards, Lockhart took the test papers and looked at them in front of the whole class.

"Tsk tsk, I'm disappointed, yes, none of you wrote down everything about me like Miss Granger in the second year, if you read the book "A Year with the Tibetan Yeti" carefully , you'll know what my favorite food is, and I've made it clear in Chapter 4 of Ghouls..."

Lockhart quickly flipped through the parchment at hand until he saw the one with Ivan.

"Wait, here's an interesting test paper." He looked attentively and kept muttering in a low voice, "Yes, this is exactly what I've always wanted to do, to further expand my influence and become the most admired The wizard, said it very well!"

In the classroom, all the students looked at him curiously.

Everyone didn't know what Lockhart was muttering. Vicky Frobisher, Irving's roommate, a handsome boy was craned his neck, trying to see the content of the test paper.

"Yes, I do!" Lockhart suddenly turned the paper over. "One hundred percent! Where is Mr. Irving Mason?"

Ai Wen hurriedly stood up, and everyone's eyes turned to him.

"Excellent, Evan! I'm very willing to share my story with my most loyal fans." Lockhart said with a smile, "Very good, give Gryffindor points!"

When Ai Wen sat down again, Colin beside him whispered, "Ai Wen, it's incredible, what did you write on it?"

"It's nothing, just invite him to provide us with a few photos, get your camera ready, Colin." Ivan said with a smile, "Start taking pictures after class, we don't have much time."

Apart from the initial episode, the rest of the time is relatively boring.

The Defense Against the Dark Arts class almost became a reading class, with Lockhart asking the students to stand up and read his writings one by one, and just when everyone was bored, it was time for get out of class to end. All the students left the classroom as fast as possible. Except for Ai Wen, he dragged Colin, who was still a little confused, to the podium.

Lockhart greatly praised Ivan and said that if there is any problem in the preparation of the newspaper, he can help at any time.

Knowing that the novel section has not received manuscripts so far, Lockhart even expressed his willingness to put his unpublished manuscripts on it for serialization.

Next, it was Lockhart who kept posing in various poses for Colin to shoot.

Ivan was surprised to find that no matter what angle, Lockhart could show his charming eight teeth just right.

Just this, let Aiwen admire very much.

Due to time constraints, after taking more than a dozen photos, Irving and Colin had to leave, and Lockhart invited the two of them to his office to continue shooting after dinner.

Because of Lockhart's enthusiasm, they were a full five minutes late, and when Ivan learned from Colin that the next class was Transfiguration, his heart sank sharply.

Professor McGonagall was different from other professors. She was strict and smart, and all freshmen had been told to try not to provoke her and Professor Snape in school, because doing so would often end badly.

Now, they dared to be late for the first class, and Ai Wen no longer dared to think about it. When the two ran outside the Transfiguration classroom, they saw a Ravenclaw girl dressed in weird clothes standing outside the door.

The girl has tousled, dirty, waist-length blond hair, very light eyebrows, bulging eyes that give her a constant look of surprise, and a pair of turnip-shaped ears. Earrings, and a necklace of Butterbeer corks hung on her chest, with an air of madness.

"What are you doing, it's time for class!" Colin asked uncertainly.

"I'm looking for the trail left by the Bubble Snot Monster." The girl said in a trance, her gaze resting on the open space outside the door of the Transfiguration Classroom.

"Sorry, what are you looking for?"

"Bubble snot monster." The girl raised her head and stared at Ai Wen, "You are Ai Wen Mason."

"Yes, it's me, who are you?"

"Luna Lovegood." She turned her pale eyes to Colin, who was aside, "I don't know who you are?"

Before Colin could answer, the door of the classroom was opened from inside, and Professor McGonagall looked at the three of them with a serious look.

"Mr. Mason, Mr. Creevey, and Miss Lovegood, it's time for class, and you're late!" She pursed her lips tightly, "if you're not going to come in, then never come in again. ."

Ivan and Colin hurriedly lowered their heads into the classroom, and Luna sat next to them.

"It's unlucky to meet Luna," Colin whispered. "She's a freshman in Ravenclaw. Everyone calls her a mad girl. I heard that she actually believes in the existence of the Bubble Snot and the Crooked Snorer. ."

"But they do exist," Luna interrupted suddenly.

"How is it possible, these are just fictions..."

"Be quiet, Colin!" Ivan stabbed him, "Also, don't express opinions on things you don't know."

"Very wise choice," Luna said in a low voice, singing in a voice. "Extraordinary ingenuity is the greatest wealth of mankind."

Colin wanted to say something more, but when he saw Professor McGonagall staring at him, he hurriedly shut his mouth.

"Transfiguration is the most complex and dangerous spell you will ever have at Hogwarts, if anyone tries to be mischievous in my class, I don't expect to see him again in the next class, I warned you already."

With that, Professor McGonagall turned her desk into a pig, and then back again.

The students were all attracted and wished they could start learning immediately, but they soon realized that it would take a long time to turn furniture into animals.

After everyone took a lot of complicated notes, Professor McGonagall gave each of them a match and began to make them try to become a needle.

It's very difficult for young wizards who have just entered the school to do this, they can't even make any changes in the match. It was not until the end of class that Ai Wen turned the head of the match into the tip of a needle, but he was still the fastest student in the class.

Ai Wen noticed that Professor McGonagall's mouth did not seem to be so tight.
