Hogwarts: I'm really not the third Dark Lord

Chapter 128 Lockhart’s Changes

Hogwarts, the first week of school has passed quickly.

After spending the week in trepidation, finding that his sudden transformation in the common room had not spread, Malfoy breathed a sigh of relief and became increasingly grateful to Jerry.

Kyubey seemed to have also learned of his anger. He hadn't appeared in front of him this week, leaving Malfoy so angry that he had nowhere to vent his anger.

Lockhart quickly returned to his true nature after being low-key at the opening ceremony.

Jerry could often be seen walking up and down the hallways, seemingly enjoying being surrounded by girls.

"Too stupid."

Erin frowned and commented as she passed a group of girls begging Lockhart to sign their school uniforms.

For some reason, even though this man was very good-looking and had a very kind personality, Irene felt a deep disgust when she saw him for the first time, as if she saw a rat scurrying around. I wish I could crush him with my foot.

"Didn't you take his class? How did it feel?"

Jerry, who already knew Lockhart's character, was not too surprised and asked casually.

"It's not bad, it looks like there are two brushes." Erin said reluctantly, startling Jerry.

He clearly remembered that in the original book, Lockhart released a group of Cornish elves in class, turning the class into a disaster. Since then, his class has never taught anything useful. , turned into a simple drama performance class.

But according to Eileen, Lockhart still brought a cage of Cornish goblins this time, and these little guys still made a mess in the entire classroom.

But before things got too bad, Lockhart used a magic to freeze all the goblins in mid-air and put them back into their cages.

Is this still the Lockhart he remembers?

Could it be a substitution?

Jerry murmured secretly in his heart. He thought of Quirrell who was possessed by Voldemort last year. Could Lockhart also be possessed by some old guy?

It just so happened that their first class in the morning was Defense Against the Dark Arts, and Lockhart quickly got rid of the crazy girls and caught up with them.

"Miss Eileen, please wait a moment."

Irene stopped, frowned and looked at Lockhart who was running towards me, and said coldly: "Good morning, Professor Lockhart, what can I do for you?"

Lockhart touched his chin. He didn't know why, but the girl in front of him always gave him a vague sense of threat. This reminded him of the legendary curse, and he became extremely vigilant.

"Well... I mean, you performed well in the last class. I haven't seen such an outstanding little wizard for a long time. If you encounter any difficulties in your studies in the future, you can come to me at any time."

Lockhart tried his best to appear cheerful and kind, like a teacher who truly cared about his students.

Erin was also a little surprised. She remembered that she didn't even take out her wand in the last class, and she didn't know where he could see that she was doing well.

"I know." The girl nodded noncommittally.

Lockhart seemed to have discovered the flaw in his speech at this time. He smiled awkwardly and turned his eyes to Jerry.

"Mr. Jerry Yoder, right? I heard that you were the first in the grade last year, but let me tell you, this is just the beginning, just like I rarely tell others that I have been the first in the grade for seven consecutive years... ...You know, after you graduate, your grades in school are useless..."

Lockhart patted Jerry on the shoulder and taught him earnestly.

He wouldn't admit that he was jealous - he was handsomer than him and had better grades than him.

"Ah, yes, yes..." Jerry muttered absentmindedly, turning a deaf ear to his boastful words. At the same time, he was relieved that it was indeed the Lockhart he was familiar with.

They separated at the stairs. Irene was going to her first Transfiguration class, while Jerry was held tightly by Lockhart and walked towards his classroom.

Entering the classroom, Lockhart finally let Jerry go. Malfoy took a seat for him in the last row and was waving to him. Jerry hurried over.

"How did you get involved with him?" Malfoy asked in a low voice as soon as he approached. He looked around to make sure no one was paying attention, and then lowered his voice, "I learned from my father. I learned some inside information there, and that guy is not as harmless as he seems."

"Indeed, it's like dog-skin plaster, you can't shake it off no matter what." Jerry agreed very much.

After the class was seated, Lockhart cleared his throat loudly, held up a copy of "Walking with Trolls," and showed a photo of himself winking.

"I, Gilderoy Lockhart, Order of Merlin, Third Class, Honorary Member of the League Against Dark Arts, five-time winner of Wizarding Weekly's Most Charming Smile Award - but I don't talk about that, I don't rely on A smile that drives away all the female ghosts."

At this point, he paused, as if waiting for someone to laugh, but not many people found his opening remarks humorous.People looked at him silently, hoping that he could perform a few unique tricks like other professors.

Lockhart was not embarrassed and continued: "I saw that you all bought my complete set of books (he frowned and looked at Jerry's empty desk) - Mr. Yoder, why didn't you bring your textbooks? Come to class?"

"Sorry, Professor." Jerry stood up and blinked innocently, "Your book is too expensive. You know, I came from an orphanage and don't have that much money."

"..." Lockhart's smile froze, and there were whispers around him.

His set of books is already worth a month's living expenses for an average wizarding family. Except for people as wealthy as Malfoy, many people have complained about it.

Lockhart hurriedly cleared his throat: "Oh, Merlin, you should have told me earlier. I would be happy to give our top grader some small help, such as a set of my complete works."

He deliberately emphasized the word "first in grade" to prevent others from thinking he was being unfair.

After finally being fooled, Lockhart glared at Jerry and quietly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

"Okay, I think before we start the formal class, let's take a small test first. Don't be afraid - just to see how well you read and how much you understand..."

He handed out the test papers and returned to the podium: "I'll give you three 10 minutes, let's start now."

Jerry glanced at the test paper. It was full of questions such as "What color does Lockhart like?" "What is Lockhart's greatest achievement?"

Jerry spread the paper on the table and yawned.

He didn't even have a book, let alone answer the test paper. Lockhart just pretended not to see him and walked around the classroom.

Half an hour later, he put the test papers away and looked through them in front of everyone.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, almost no one can answer all the questions. Unfortunately, I didn't find a perfect test paper... You need to learn more from Miss Granger of Gryffindor. She even knows my secret ambition. To rid the world of all evil and sell my own line of hair lotion. In fact, she's the only student in this school to get perfect marks!"

Soon, Lockhart turned over all the test papers, but it was obvious that he was not satisfied with the results.He shook his head, took out a large cage covered with a cloth from behind the podium, and placed it on the table.

"Okay, let's get down to business. Maybe you already know what you are going to face from other students, but I must say that most of their performance is unsatisfactory. Now it's up to you."

Lockhart lifted the hood and said theatrically: "Yes, the Cornish goblin we just caught."

This is a little livid guy, about eight feet tall, with a pointed face and a very shrill and noisy voice - in short, it doesn't look dangerous.

However, according to what I learned from students in other colleges, these little things are cunning, ferocious, and very strong. It is said that a first-year student was lifted up and hung on a chandelier by them.

People stared at the cage with fear.

Lockhart was quite satisfied with the people's performance. He said loudly: "Well, let's see how you deal with them." and opened the cage.

Now everything was in chaos, the elves were flying around like rockets, wreaking havoc.

An elf flew near Jerry and seemed to want to grab his hair. However, after being glanced at by Jerry, it froze on the spot and fell straight from mid-air.

[Killing Mastery (Active): That damn cat disturbed your sleep, the great Jerry Yoder will let it know that sometimes, death is also a gift!Your deterrence against non-human creatures is increased by 50.00%. 】

This skill was acquired by him a long time ago, and it is a rare active skill.

Now seeing this large group of annoying elves, Jerry suddenly had an idea and activated this skill.

The effect seemed to be surprisingly good. The one-foot range centered on Jerry became a restricted area for the elves, and no one dared to break through this area. ,

At this time, other students who were tortured by the elf also noticed this and ran to Jerry's side.

After the elf circled over Jerry for several times, he finally didn't have the courage to fly in.

They invariably targeted the only unusual creature in the classroom.

Lockhart frowned as he looked at the group of elves flying towards him menacingly.

It wasn't that he was afraid of them. After signing the contract with Kyubey, Lockhart gained superb spell-casting ability as he wished, and he could easily deal with these elves.

What surprised him was that he didn't see any magic used by Jerry, but these fearless elves seemed to have encountered some natural enemies and didn't even dare to get close.

Could it be that Jerry's strength is even greater than what he is now?

He is only a second-year student!

Lockhart suddenly felt that he had been careless.

I have to admit that after gaining great strength, he began to become swollen and did not take the legendary curse to heart.

As everyone knows, in the world of magic, everything is possible, and he himself is a good example.

We need to know more about that child’s past experiences!

Lockhart made up his mind and waved his wand. All the elves flying towards him were instantly frozen in mid-air, and the next moment they fell to the ground with a crackle.

He waved his magic wand again, and all the elves were stuffed into the cages, and the broken glass, tables and chairs in the classroom began to return to their original state.

The bell rang, and Lockhart turned up the volume.

"After class, each person will write an article about the living habits of the Cornish elves and how to deal with them. It should not be less than one foot long and should be handed in before the next class."

Amid people's lamentations, the class finally ended.

"He's doing pretty well, right?"

Malfoy said hesitantly, this is different from what his father said!

"It seems so..."

Jerry frowned.

Lockhart actually became a pretty good Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, which was incredible.

But even the magical girl appeared, so he no longer cared about this plot change.

At least this Lockhart is much better now than the one in the original book that only talked about it.

……

In the evening, Lockhart returned to his office, frowning.

From other teachers, he easily learned about Jerry's great achievements last year.

Not long after joining the school, he killed a giant monster and saved the magic stone from an evil dark wizard.

The dark wizard lurked into the school under Dumbledore's nose and attacked a professor, almost killing two students.

Such a crazy guy was actually defeated by Jerry single-handedly, without even being injured at all.

If it wasn't Professor McGonagall who told these things, he must have thought someone was joking with him -

Voldemort and Dumbledore might not have been able to accomplish such a feat when they first entered school, right?

He couldn't help but think of himself, and a guess came into his mind: Could that boy also be Kyubey's contractor?

I learned from Kyubey before that there is not only one Kyubey in the world, and each Kyubey can sign a contract.

By killing each other's Kyubey or contractor, the contractors can plunder each other's power.

If it was as he imagined, wouldn't it mean that the boy had become his potential enemy?

What a pity, he just wanted to work honestly for a year and then continue to make money, but he never thought of getting involved in the war between the contractors!

As the saying goes, people can't hurt a tiger's heart, but a tiger can hurt people's intentions.

Although I think so, the other party may not think so!

If Jerry is an ambitious guy, he will definitely not let him go!

Returning to the office worriedly, Lockhart saw Kyubey sitting on his desk, licking his paws, making him look more like a cat.

Lockhart shook his head to put these thoughts out of his mind, and quickly stepped forward and asked.

"Where have you been these past few days? Also, I seem to have discovered other contractors."

Kyubey said nonchalantly: "I met the clansmen and had a chat with them. Of course you are more than just a contractor at Hogwarts, but since you are not interested in power, having a few more has nothing to do with you."
