Lockhart looked at Ted with a "I'm so tired" expression:
"What a handsome young man like me! Student Ted got perfect marks! For example, what is Lockhart's greatest ideal - world peace? Only you got the answer right. And this... and this... Raven Crow adds 20 points!"
Lockhart: This guy has a lot of potential! make persistent efforts!
There was an immediate reaction in Ted's mind.
"Ding~Trigger the task:
【Easily win a hundred! (green)】
Lockhart's extra points are really arrogant. Wouldn't it be a sin if he didn't take advantage of this?
Objective: Get 100 bonus points from Professor Lockhart.
Reward: 300 experience, random cards.
If God wants to kill him, he must first make him crazy~"
Lockhart really scores points! Just 20!
Ted stopped an explosion yesterday, and Professor Flitwick only gave him 20 points.
Today, I was given 20 points for each paper, and it was completely free of charge.
Hermione's eyes widened on one side and her eyebrows knitted together: We agreed to despise this bastard together, but you actually do your homework in private!
Hermione saw Lockhart trying to gain Neville's reputation in Diagon Alley and was very disdainful of him, so she didn't read the textbook he wrote very seriously.
So I missed a few questions, but I didn’t expect Ted to get perfect scores!
The reason why Ted read it carefully was that he really just flipped through the book when he was reading it.
On the one hand, although Lockhart is not very good, the content in the book is actually of great reference value.
This is all real knowledge~
Speaking of which, Lockhart is very talented at sneaking up on old comrades.
So many outstanding wizards fell into his hands, all over the world, and they didn't even fall over. sharp!
With Ted around, the topic will never drop to the floor. It's a fun time for both host and guest, and the class feels like going home.
In one class, Ted scored 30 points on Lockhart, which made him so happy that he almost accepted Ted as his direct disciple on the spot.
Lockhart: It feels so much better at Hogwarts than at home! Ted is a talented person and he speaks well. I like this student very much!
He even thought: If only Ted were the Boy Who Lived, wouldn't the master and apprentice become the best idols in the wizarding world? ! Longbottom is so dull that he wastes his fame!
…
After class, Lockhart told Ted very kindly that he could go to his office and sit in his office when he had time. The professor would still be able to provide some help if he had any difficulties. After all, he is a celebrity!
Then he gave his friends a grin that made everyone unable to open their eyes, and left.
Hermione and the others all turned their heads and looked at Ted with a look that looked like a traitor - was it you who lured the Japs here?
Harley jumped out and asked angrily: "Ted, why are you complimenting a hypocrite like this! That peacock!"
Jerry also asked: "Do you admire him?!"
"Tell me? What are you going to do? What's your plan!" Hermione directly concluded that Ted was plotting against Lockhart, and Ted had to praise in his heart: He's really good at reading people~
Ted whispered: "I don't worship liars, I just want to get points. As long as this professor coaxes him well, we can get a lot of benefits."
"What about?" Hermione asked.
"For example, the approval slip for borrowing books from the restricted book area~"
Hermione's eyes suddenly lit up!
Friends: Brush points? Borrow a book? Stunned ~ Is this still a benefit?
Ted: My dears, why are you silent?
Hermione calmed down from the excitement of the banned book approval note and asked, "You said Professor Lockhart was a liar? Do you have any evidence?"
Although she disliked the new professor because of what happened in Diagon Alley.
But he is a best-selling author after all, and the wonderful adventures in that book are really fascinating.
But Ted said he was a liar. Could it be that all these adventures were made up?
Ted smiled and said, "Yeah, he's a liar."
"I have compared a lot of information, and the ways of dealing with dark creatures in the book are very correct, and some are even groundbreaking." "But when I check the news about the places where the stories take place, the protagonist of the story is often not the same person. A wizard named Lockhart."
"News?!" The friends didn't expect to use the news to check for liars.
Ted talked about his search for news from various places about the adventure stories in Lockhart's book. The stories in Lockhart's book all really happened, and many of them were rumored in the local area or published in newspapers.
As long as this information is combined, it is not difficult to find flaws. What's more, Ted knew the result and went to find evidence. It’s not easy to push back~
The reason why Lockhart has been able to enjoy the reputation of a best-selling author and great adventurer for so long is simply because the information in the magical world is relatively limited.
With a sparse population, communication is infrequent, and many people don't care about what happens in distant countries.
After all, this is a society where even sending messages has to go through owls, and even messages from neighboring countries take a day or two to reach them. And Muggles have entered the Internet age.
Even in the Internet age, there are still people who use information gaps to deceive people.
The friends were shocked by what Ted said.
Although this peacock is very annoying, I didn’t expect that none of his wonderful stories are his own!
Harry suddenly showed a wicked smile: "What do you think, what if we go to Dumbledore to complain? Expose this vain peacock!"
Other friends are also eager to try.
Of course Ted couldn't let them seriously ruin the plot.
"It's not our business to care who Lockhart is. Since Dumbledore asked him to be his teacher, he naturally has his own considerations."
"Maybe Dumbledore thought he was a good negative lesson."
"So don't worry, do you still remember Professor Quirrell last year?"
"Of course!"
Hermione was suddenly surprised and said: "You don't mean to say that Lockhart is the same as Quirrell!"
Everyone again remembered the fear of being dominated by Lord Voldemort~
Ted said quickly: "Of course not. How could this kind of thing happen again and again? I just think that Dumbledore might know some details about Lockhart. After all, they all grew up under his nose." .”
"So, do you think Dumbledore hired Lockhart as a professor because of his plan?" Harry's eyes lit up when he mentioned the plan.
Ron murmured: "People like this who are full of plans are really troublesome. But please don't include me in your plans."
Hermione was a little unconvinced: "Are we just going to ignore it?"
She still wants justice and to bring this liar who stole other people's stories to justice.
Ted had no choice but to comfort her: "Hermione, justice requires strength. Therefore, our top priority is to study hard!"
Hermione nodded thoughtfully.
Neville raised his hand cautiously: "Do you think it's possible that the position of Professor of Dark Arts is really unavailable?"
When everyone heard this, they looked at each other: Neville, you have discovered a blind spot!
A small society with less than 30,000 people and a position that consumes one person a year is definitely notorious~
Maybe we really can’t recruit anyone!
…
Early in the morning, before the sun went to work, Ted had already gotten up and started studying in the common room.
He has been working on a new magic these past few days since school started.
The notebook contains a lot of predictions and magic model designs, attempts at spells, etc.
It was the roaring letter on the first day of school that inspired Ted.
This kind of magic letter that can directly roar seems to be very valuable.
It might be a good idea if you can "record" your own voice with magical effects.
The second is the issue of defense.
At that time, Ted thought about trying to stop the howler letter and save Ron's face. In the end, I was stunned and didn't think of any good solution - after all, I couldn't just destroy the roaring letter with a fireball in public.
He discovered that he had no defense that could limit the sonic attack.
In fact, sound-silencing spells or "listening with earplugs" should both be useful. But this thing is large-scale and can be heard even outside the auditorium. Just blocking one's own ears is hiding one's ears and stealing the bell!
Therefore, he planned to develop a new magic by combining the Silencing Curse and the Head Bubble Curse.
The progress in the past two days has been very good. I found a lot of information in Ravenclaw's secret room. Although it has nothing to do with these low-end magic spells, it tells some ideas and methods for developing new magic, which is very enlightening.
"Ansu, don't move~" Ted smiled kindly.
Ansu:?
"Silent Bubble~" Ted pointed his wand, and a burst of magic instantly formed a translucent bubble around Ansu, wrapping Ansu like a blister.
Ansu was stunned, flapped his wings and flew away quickly, but the bubble kept surrounding him.
"Gah~what the hell?"
Ted saw Anzu open his mouth, but no sound came out.
"Ha! It's done!"
Ansu: You just want to trap me! Look at my cobra moves~
Ansu suddenly made a sharp turn in the air, instantly surpassing the flight speed of the silent bubble, and directly penetrated the bubble to escape.
"Quack, stupid, stupid, stupid~" Ansu ran away along the window.
"Good boy!" Ted packed his things and went for a run when the sun came out.
At this time, the system rang:
"Ding~ The skill Charm has been upgraded, it is now Charm Level 4..."
It turns out that Ted's magical research and development increased his spell level.
If you include the bonus of the wand, his spell level is already level 5, barely reaching the threshold for studying the information left by Ravenclaw.
Of course, this is only the most basic part of the information.
