Science students at Hogwarts

Gilderoy Lockhart is having quite the moment lately.

Compared to the original work, where his reputation was completely ruined and people hated him, at this time, he can be said to have gained both fame and fortune at Hogwarts.

In just ten days in Durmstrang, after experiencing countless duels and sneak attacks, Lockhart deeply understood a truth: never take action if you can force him.

After arriving at Hogwarts, he deeply implemented this concept.

He often appears in classes at various colleges to brag about his abilities. However, when someone asks him for help, he always shirks it with various reasons.

Therefore, many students privately nicknamed him "a professor who only talks."

Most people hate it when Lockhart appears in various places from time to time to talk, show off his legendary experiences, volunteer to take over, and finally screw everything up.

They all agreed that Lockhart had only two advantages: real experience and wonderful teaching.

It stands to reason that a professor with this kind of evaluation cannot be said to be a good person, let alone win the love of a large number of young wizards.

But who allowed him to have a group of excellent control groups who were also from Durmstrang?

Since Lucius returned from Cairo, he has made the Andre family pay a heavy price in a vigorous and resolute manner.

However, with Dumbledore's tacit approval, most exchange students did not restrain themselves. They only expanded the battlefield to include third-year students and above.

And an unnamed Malfoy was also involved.

Lucius was very panicked when he learned that the Dark Lord had obtained the Philosopher's Stone. He originally believed that Dumbledore could wipe him out again, but he didn't expect that such a big mistake would happen.

Based on his disappointment with Dumbledore's "foolishness and incompetence" and his dual-faced nature, he thought of a foolish move.

He began to secretly contact Andre's family, intending to take advantage of the opportunity to show some color to those Muggles.

Fortunately, Narcissa discovered it in time and warned Lucius seriously. The whole of Britain knew that the Malfoy family was pro-Muggle, and they had no choice.

However, she also criticized Dumbledore and believed that the white wizard needed to give the most powerful family in the wizarding world a reassurance.

At this time, their cooperation was in a honeymoon period, and the White Wizard also abandoned the tradition of the old Riddler and readily revealed some of his next plans.

Later, he hinted that he could properly contact the Nordic forces and give the young wizards of Hogwarts some tests.

As a result, with the tacit consent of all parties, duels and competitions in Hogwarts became more frequent.

In addition, with the professor as a witness to the duel, there have been no major casualties among the students, and everyone is happy to see this happen.

But the little wizards became increasingly disgusted with these exchange students.

Due to cultural differences, most Hogwarts students lose more than they win in duels, while Durmstrang students usually have one obvious problem - they are bad-mouthed.

Teenagers don't hide their emotions, and the exchange students trumpeted every victory and jeered and booed every time one of their defeated opponents walked into the auditorium.

This kind of behavior can't be said to be lovable by others, it can also be regarded as disgusting for people.

Given this excellent matching system, even Pansy reluctantly considered Lockhart one of the few good guys in Durmstrang.

Insufficient compared to the above, more than enough compared to the inferior.

Not to mention that Lockhart is also an important part of overcoming the counter-curse of the Oblivion Curse.

Even Professor McGonagall, who had always thought he was unlearned and incompetent, recognized his achievements in the Forgetting Curse and naturally let him get involved in Christmas decoration tasks.

Some time ago, Flitwick mentioned Lockhart's contribution in his paper "Charmed Innovation".

This allowed him to step onto the podium of the most authoritative Charms Association in the magic world and explain his understanding of the Forgetting Curse to many masters.

Fortunately, most people were more focused on the counter-curse deduced by Professor Flitwick and simply said hello to him.

Otherwise, as soon as he opens his mouth to talk about other magic spells, everyone will find out that he is just a liar.

But Lockhart was not thankful.

He is very much like when you meet a gangster teammate when playing games. This one is obviously a big teammate who took him away. He was obedient throughout the whole process. In the end, he still blamed the MVP for not giving him.

Lockhart believed that he and Professor Flitwick had made equal contributions, but did not enjoy equal treatment.

He is determined to make a big splash at Christmas and draw everyone's attention to himself.

For this reason, he also invited his mother to let her watch this most proud child steal the show in the best magic school in the world.

The 22nd is the last day for children to stay at school. After today, most students will go home for the two-week long vacation.

Lockhart decided to hold a celebration on this day, and he walked into the Great Hall wearing a bright red robe and an emerald green hat decorated with mistletoe.

"Ladies and gentlemen, good morning..." Lockhart cleared his throat, about to get started.

"fluttering fluttering"

A huge owl flew in carrying a huge package.

When passing by Lockhart, it happened to solve the problem of bird excretion, and a white solid fell on the bright hat.

The little wizards all laughed.

Lockhart was so devastated that this ruined his plan. He cursed the damn owl loudly, until Professor Bablin couldn't bear it anymore and cast a cleansing spell before he quieted down.

"That's funny," Pansy laughed so hard that she could hardly breathe. "He should have cleaned up a lot instead of just standing there."

Elios slowly opened the package and took out a copy of the Daily Prophet.

"Maybe he doesn't know how to clean up the spell." He said to Pansy while flipping through the newspaper.

"How is this possible? He is still a professor after all." Pansy looked at Gower again and lowered her voice, "Even Gower can..."

"I was just kidding," the owl on the side kept pecking at the plate, and Elios handed it a handful of owl food.

He stroked its feathers and casually guessed, "Maybe Jerry doesn't like the color of his hat."

Pansy looked at Lockhart's hat again and nodded in agreement.

Elios flipped through the newspaper and asked casually, "We lost again yesterday?"

"Yeah," Draco was a little frustrated as he swallowed the last bite of bread, "We only won one game in eight games. What will the Daily Prophet say about us this time?"

Elios shrugged and handed them the paper.

I saw the Daily Prophet writing in large and bold fonts: "Durmstrang's seven small wins cannot conceal the decline of the weak team, and Hogwarts' regretful defeat shows the true qualities of a strong team."

Pansy and Draco covered their faces together.

"Don't be so pessimistic," Elios said without raising his head.

As someone who often pays attention to the national football team, he has long developed a big heart. For him, losing is normal.

"It doesn't matter, we still have eight games in the second half of the year..." Draco tried to comfort himself, but it obviously didn't work well, and everyone fell silent.

It took a long time before Pansy came to her senses and asked about their plans for the Christmas vacation.

When this topic was brought up, Draco was obviously very excited, "We will go to the professor's new home during the holidays..."

"What? Professor Snape has moved?" Pansy was also very interested.

"Yes, we have prepared a surprise for him..." Draco lowered his voice, intending to reveal the content to Pansy.

"Ahem!" Elios had to pretend to cough to interrupt him, and used his eyes to indicate that the professor was not far away.

Draco immediately shut up and spread his hands helplessly, indicating that it would be kept secret for the time being.

But Pansy's curiosity could no longer be restrained, and she came up with a bold idea: She also wanted to go to Snape's new home!
