The first class was History of Magic. Before the class, John went to see the Whomping Willow that was injured by his father.
The Whomping Willow is a big willow tree outside Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. It has a violent temper and will be beaten hard by the branches of the willow tree no matter what hits it.
By the time John arrived at the Whomping Willow, there were already two people here.
"I heard that I once encountered a whomping willow when I was traveling. As long as I treat it like this..."
"Stop, you will only anger it!"
"Don't worry, I am Gilderoy Lockhart, a holder of the Order of Merlin, third degree, with the most charming smile."
Snapped!
"Strange why not?"
"Shut up!"
John looked at the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor who claimed to know everything, took out his wand and cast a spell, successfully making the Whomping Willow furious.
Professor Sprout, a fellow herbalist professor under the tree, was innocently implicated, and the Whomping Willow flew Professor Sprout out.
At this moment, Professor Sprout was ready to kill Lockhart. This former Ravenclaw student was a guy who knew everything about kings.
Professor Sprout's face was gloomy. She couldn't understand why Dumbledore would let this disgrace of Ravenclaw come back to teach.
"It's okay, Professor Sprout. I've traveled with trolls before, and this kind of injury is a piece of cake."
"Stop, don't come over!"
Professor Sprout's short and fat body burst out with infinite strength, rolling and crawling out of the attack range of the Whomping Willow.
She was really scared. If she continued to do this for this guy, she might die either from the Whomping Willow or herself.
So she used the excuse that class was about to start and asked this annoying guy to leave quickly.
"Is this Master the Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts?"
After John witnessed how Lockhart tricked a senior herbalism professor, he fell into deep thought.
"Even if the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is a newbie, he won't let this kind of thing in, right?"
Recalling the Lockhart works he had seen, John seriously doubted whether the two Lockharts were the same person.
"There are also ghostwriters in the wizarding world?"
The seeds of suspicion had been planted, and John came near the Whomping Willow after the two had left.
He had seen from the Marauder's Map that there was a secret passage under the Whomping Willow tree, but how to get close was a problem.
The Whomping Willow is very ferocious, and the branches that were originally standing are now collapsed. You don't need to think about it to know that this is the contribution of your own father.
John approached the Whomping Willow, and a branch was pulled directly over.
He retreated to avoid it, and the Whomping Willow waved its branches and looked very troublesome.
"It's so sensitive and active, it might have unexpected effects if used to make amulets."
Seeing the Whomping Willow waving there, John touched his chin and stared at the injured area.
He was already thinking about where to get some.
As for treating the Whomping Willow, isn't it normal to get injured a little in this kind of thing?
Drawing his wand with his left hand, John drew his sword.
"PetrificusTotalus"
The waving branches stopped, and John seized the opportunity to use his flying boots to jump up and cut off some of the broken branches.
After doing all this, John activated his flying boots and flew away. After the Whomping Willow recovered, he waved his branches angrily like a group of demons dancing around.
"Okay, okay, I won't study how to treat you."
John was so confident that he even thought the Whomping Willow was stingy.
So big a tree, give yourself a little what's wrong.
With a wave of his hand, John stuffed the branches into his small bag and turned around without taking away a single cloud.
Regarding the treatment of the Whomping Willow, he felt that this professional issue might require finding a more professional person.
For example, Professor Sprout is a very good choice.
It was almost time for class. John was familiar with all the secret passages in Hogwarts and was not panicked at all.
A second before History of Magic was about to begin, he stepped into the classroom against the clock.
Professor Binns of the History of Magic became a ghost when he forgot to take his body with him when he went to sleep.
His lessons were boring and lifeless, just like his old and lifeless appearance that made people feel sleepy.
Even John barely managed to keep himself from falling asleep. He was reading History of Magic in class, but he was actually studying with his alchemy notes.
After surviving History of Magic, it was Defense Against the Dark Arts in the afternoon.
During lunch, Ron was cursing his broken wand.
"My mother said Lockhart was a brave wizard."
Unlike Daphne, who was full of expectations, John remembered what he saw in the morning and had no expectations for the Defense Against the Dark Arts class.
He picked up the skinned potatoes and peeled them open, then put them in his mouth.
Malfoy was not around because he had gone to laugh at Harry.
Harry was caught by Lockhart this morning and received another publicity, which made the Malfoy children very jealous.
Daphne forgot to bring her mother's new work "Magic Me" signed by Lockhart, so she went back to get it.
Hermione came over holding Lockhart's book, with a slight blush on her face, and said with expectation: "I don't know what kind of vivid lesson Professor Lockhart will bring, just like in his book." It’s time to take the risk.”
"Uh... I'm afraid this is a bit difficult." John couldn't bear to tell her the truth.
Looking at Hermione's childlike appearance, she might be hopeless after knowing the truth.
If it were Hermione in the past, she would definitely be able to hear the meaning behind John's words, but now she is still immersed in admiring Lockhart.
John thought it was quite interesting. If this scene was filmed, Hermione would be a landslide when she became the Minister of Magic.
Harry was in trouble over there, not only because of Malfoy's belittling and mocking remarks, but also because of Lockhart's embarrassment after arriving.
Colin Creevey is a first-year Gryffindor student and a Harry Potter fan.
Colin pressed the camera and took pictures of Harry. When Lockhart came over, he asked him to take a photo of the two of them.
This made Harry extremely uncomfortable.
At the afternoon bell, Lockhart felt good about himself and took Harry away in his arms.
Ron and Hermione were left behind, and the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor seemed to enjoy the attention.
John also finished taking care of the last potato and came to Ron's side. At this time, Ron was being mocked by Malfoy and his face turned red with anger.
"Don't worry about it Ron, okay. I heard your wand is broken?"
After hearing John's words, Ron took out his wand that was broken into two pieces in frustration.
He took the wand and looked at it. The core inside was still intact, which was good news.
After all, it was his father's fault. John felt that as his son, he still had to save his life.
John looked at it for a while and said, "I happen to be learning how to make a wand. Maybe I can help you repair it."
"Really? That's great, thank you John!"
Ron was overjoyed. If Mrs. Weasley knew that he had broken her wand, she would probably send another howling letter.
This was like a savior, and he was extremely grateful.
"It's time to go to class. I'll help you repair it after I find all the repair materials." In the afternoon, the Defense Against the Dark Arts class was held by both houses.
John returned the wand to Ron, and they headed towards the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom.
The new Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom is full of photos, and the owner of these photos is, not surprisingly, Gilderoy Lockhart.
...
Not long after entering the classroom, Lockhart came in.
He was different from other professors in that he wore a gorgeous green robe and a green top hat with a gold rim on his shiny blond hair.
The slut's appearance made Malfoy unhappy for a while. The guy still remembered Lockhart and Harry's photo together and made a sound.
On the contrary, the reaction of the girls was that their eyes were shining with golden eyes and their faces were flushed, as if they were starstruck fans.
Most of them have mothers who are Lockhart fans, or are Lockhart fans themselves.
As a liar, in addition to being able to use the Oblivion Curse, Lockhart's appearance is also very resistant.
He showed up in a showy manner and introduced himself even more so.
"I, Gilderoy Lockhart, Order of Merlin, Third Class, Honorary Member of the Defense League against the Dark Arts.
I won the "Wizard Weekly" Most Charming Smile Award five times...but I never talk about that. I don't rely on my smile to drive away Wan Lun's female ghosts. "
There was also a cold joke at the end, but it was a pity that no one could understand it.
John was speechless. After giving such a long list of introductions, the only useful one was the honorary member of the Defense Against Dark Arts Alliance. He looked like a vase no matter how he looked at it.
And John was soon able to confirm his suspicion. Lockhart's first class test turned out to be a questionnaire.
The contents of this questionnaire directly confused John.
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?
What the hell is this? Are you sure you are here for class and not for the idol meeting?
