"Oh, Merlin, I'll give him a full ten points!"
Lockhart was very excited, even more excited than the success of his book, because Dudley's perfect answer and his identity as Jerry's teacher made Lockhart seem to regard him as his book fan and confidant.
What could be more satisfying than having a far better author like your book?
Lockhart patted Dudley's shoulder hard and praised him repeatedly.
"This class really brings me too many surprises, so I want to give you a little surprise too." Lockhart pretended to be mysterious and bent down from behind the podium to take out a large cage covered with a cloth and put it on the table. , deliberately lowering the volume.
"From now on, be careful! My job is to teach you to defend yourself against the most evil things the wizarding world has ever known! You will face the most terrifying things in this classroom. But remember, as long as I'm here , you will not suffer any harm.”
"All I ask is that you remain calm."
Following Lockhart's words, the cage began to shake violently in response, as if there really was some terrifying creature locked inside.
This made many young wizards shrink their necks unconsciously, and of course more of them looked at them curiously.
"I must ask you not to scream." Lockhart lowered his voice again. "That will anger them!"
The classroom was quiet, everyone held their breath
Lockhart lifted the cover and revealed the mystery.
He said in a very exaggerated tone: "The Cornish elf that was just caught."
Gryffindor:? ? ?
Slytherin:? ? ?
The Cornish elf, a type of elf, is a small, livid humanoid creature, about eight inches tall, with a small pointed face. They are very naughty and like to play all kinds of tricks and pranks.
Speaking of danger, in terms of danger alone, it is not even as dangerous as Hu Meizi.
It's not dangerous. This kind of creature has power far beyond its own size. Two or three of them can easily lift an underage wizard. Especially when it comes to destruction, if they are second, no one dares to be first. .
However, the little wizards in the classroom didn't seem to take these little vandals seriously.
In their eyes, Cornish elves, goblins, and vixens are creatures of the same level, and there is nothing to worry about.
A very simple spell can subdue them.
One of the Gryffindor wizards even sneered unabashedly.
"What? Do you think it's funny?"
Lockhart was very dissatisfied with the reaction of the little wizards. These Cornish elves he had bought from others at a high price.
The purpose is to give the little wizards a 'surprise'.
The result was nothing but joy.
"Okay." Seeing that everyone didn't take it seriously, Lockhart simply opened the door of the cage: "Let's see how you deal with them!"
It was really chaos now. The elves rushed out like rockets and flew around the room. He started wreaking havoc in the classroom, smashing the glass, tearing up the books, and overturning the cabinets.
Anything can be troublesome in large numbers, and that's the case with Cornish elves.
After a few minutes, the little wizards were almost hiding under the table.
"Come with me and catch them, they are just some elves." Lockhart saw that the little wizards had understood the terror of these elves, so he rolled up his sleeves and stood up, waving his wand in a savior's manner. : "Peschipixipestenomi!"
But nothing happened next. It was obvious that his spell had failed.
Hermione was one of the very few who didn't hide under the table. Seeing this, she couldn't help but hold her forehead and said, "I knew he was useless."
After Lockhart's spell failed, a Cornish elf flew over and snatched his wand away.
Several elves immediately gathered around and grabbed the wand together. Purple rays burst out from the tip of the wand, and fireworks were set off in the classroom.
"Maybe it's a side effect." Neville slapped away an elf who was trying to get close to him.
Ron also echoed: "Look, they have weapons now."
"What do we do? Leave? Or help this idiot?"
The answer was Dudley's hands clasping together.
The formation array on the back of the hand glowed faintly, and the walls, ceiling, and floor of the classroom seemed to come alive. Countless large hands made of stone and wood stretched out from above, grabbing these mischievous elves tightly.
The little elf who was wreaking havoc in the classroom just a moment ago was subdued with one move the next second.
Casting spells without a wand!
Before Lockhart could say anything, Dudley clasped his hands together again, and a new cage appeared on the desk. Those hands put the captured Cornish elf into it again, and then the cage made of stones and wood The large hands gradually disappeared across the walls, ceiling, and floor.
There are one hundred and thirty-two in total, no more and no less.
"Professor Lockhart, your wand." Dudley handed the wand to Lockhart: "You did this deliberately because you wanted us to engage in actual combat."
"Huh?" Lockhart was slightly stunned at first, then immediately reacted and quickly defended: "Of course. That's right. As expected of Mr. Jay Dursley, he could guess my intention of doing this."
Then he pretended to be disappointed and said to the little wizards who poked their heads out from under the table: "You have disappointed me. So many people didn't see it. Fortunately, Mr. Dursley guessed my deeper intention."
That expression, attitude, and tone made it seem like this was really happening.
He is so thick-skinned that even the corners of the city wall would be defeated.
"For that Mr. Dursley earns another ten points."
Lockhart said nonsense in a serious manner. Many young wizards were really deceived, and they really thought Lockhart did it on purpose.
At this time, the bell rang for the end of get out of class.
"Then Professor Lockhart, let's leave first."
Dudley greeted Hermione and others, picked up the cage and walked out of the classroom.
When he took the cage away, the desk, which was originally the same as the other desks, was shorter than the boss.
Unless the Philosopher's Stone is used, equivalent exchange cannot be created out of thin air.
"Where are you taking them?" Lockhart asked reflexively.
Dudley's wandless spellcasting just left a deep impression on him.
That's the mark of a good wizard, no doubt.
'Maybe this guy is better than me. '
Lockhart thought with a very lack of self-awareness.
"Professor, they are now my trophies."
Dudley turned his back to Trott and said, his voice was slow but very penetrating: "What to do with the spoils is my business."
Under the gaze of the data devil's eyes, these Cornish elves have several huge words of tameable written on their heads.
It's time for the training of magical beasts to come into play.
If you feel dizzy and your whole body aches, please take a day off today to slow down one update and resume the second update tomorrow.
Two pieces of advice for you:
1. Although sugar is delicious, don’t eat too much, otherwise you will pull out your teeth and it will hurt like hell.
2. Don’t have two yangs. The inflammation of the gums caused by tooth extraction coupled with the relapse of yang is simply unbearable.
