Hogwarts: Harry's Path to Witches

Chapter 97 Lockhart wants to realize his dream

In this not-so-peaceful environment, time flies to December, and Christmas is finally coming.

Both teachers and students breathed a sigh of relief.

Many students couldn't wait to sign the school leave list. After all, they all felt that the school was really unsafe.

According to Harry's knowledge, most of the Gryffindor people had chosen to leave, and the other houses were similar.

Hermione originally wanted to invite Harry to her home for Christmas, but she was worried about Harry's safety.

And the Grangers also welcomed Harry as a guest. After hearing Hermione tell Harry's experience, they all sympathized with Harry.

However, Harry didn't want to leave school at Christmas, so Hermione had no choice but to give up and decided to stay with Harry.

And the professors are also happy to have a leisurely holiday.

"I'm relieved to think that Christmas is in two weeks and most of the students are going home and nothing is going on during this time."

In the professor's common room, Professor McGonagall held a cup of wolfberry tea, took a sip, and talked to the other teachers with a comfortable look on her face.

Professor Flitwick nodded his head in agreement, and secretly concealed his dark circles with magic.

But the professors soon discovered that they were happy too early. They don't seem to have as much free time as they think.

Because Professor Lockhart successfully applied for a new performance opportunity for himself after grinding on Professor Dumbledore for three full weeks——

He finally applied for his own club and decided to complete his life before Christmas.

As we all know, professors have their own small clubs, such as Professor Snape's Potions Club and Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration Club.

Of course, professors usually select suitable students from third-year students to join. After all, by that time, the basic knowledge of each subject has been basically taught.

And students who choose to join the club will not be completely confused after joining the club, causing them to be unable to follow the class.

Professors don't repeat the basics of first and second grade in clubs.

Of course, Professor Snape had wanted to invite Harry in his first year, but he gave up the request considering that one-on-one lessons seemed to be more effective.

He just silently adjusted the club's time. The Potion Club, which was originally held two to three times a week, only held one on Saturday night.

Lockhart had always wanted to join the professors' club when he was in school, but no professor was willing to invite him.

Although his grades are indeed good, he can get full marks in almost every written test. At most, he will deduct a few points. His evaluation is still O, and he can pass the actual operation.

(In addition, although it is graded according to O, P, and A, in the first part, Hermione said that she scored 127 points for magic.

Therefore, the author guesses that a certain score range corresponds to a scoring standard, such as 150 to 120, which counts as O. The specifics cannot be guessed in more detail. )

But Lockhart's too exaggerated performance made the professors stay away from him, fearing that he would turn his club into a "Lockhart Worship Club".

And now that Professor Lockhart has the opportunity, he naturally wants to fulfill his original dream.

Although I can’t join a club, it’s not bad to form a club of your own.

And in order to highlight his reputation, Professor Lockhart chose to post a notice directly on the school's bulletin board that all students can join the dueling club.

In order to surprise the students, he deliberately concealed his name.

"When the students find out that I organized this club, they will definitely admire me even more."

The first night Professor Lockhart had a nail in his mouth and a hammer in his hand.

But even nails couldn't shut his mouth, so he was still chatting vaguely with Filch.

Filch was holding a pile of parchment aside and was very moved when he saw Professor Lockhart not using magic in order to take care of his own emotions, so he nodded repeatedly.

But other professors don't think so.

After hearing the news from Principal Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, the Vice-Principal, almost didn't sleep all night.

After all, the deans think they have a fairly clear idea of ​​Professor Lockhart's actual level.

During this period of time, Hogwarts was not very peaceful, and the little wizards were about to get really excited.

Now that Lockhart has organized a dueling club, doesn't that just add fuel to the fire?

As a rookie, can he control the students?

So after dinner the next day, the students who saw the news gathered in the auditorium, and everyone was very enthusiastic.

On the one hand, it was for their own safety, and on the other hand, during this period of melee, many students discovered that fists were even more useful than wands!

But how does this work? How can a wizard use his fists? So everyone wants to learn some systematic and magical dueling methods.

But it was completely the opposite at the teachers' table. The three deans, Professor McGonagall, Professor Snape and Professor Flitwick, did not look good and did not choose to leave.

In order to take care of Mandrake, Professor Sprout has not come to the auditorium for dinner for a long time.

Although she also knew that Professor Lockhart had done some tricks, she was helpless.

As for the other deans, they were forced to stay for the safety of the students.

Professor Lockhart moved quickly and had already created a gold-plated stage in the auditorium.

After all, house elves are very easy to handle.

Hundreds of candles floated above the stage, lighting up the ceiling.

Harley looked at the sky, a little curious. Is Professor Lockhart really not afraid of having candle oil poured on his neatly styled hair during battle?

The auditorium was packed with people, almost all the students in the school came.

The notice on the bulletin board did not mention which professor formed the club, but many students thought of Professor Flitwick as a dueling champion when he was young.

So everyone is full of expectations, hoping to learn more.

However, after seeing the gold-plated stage, the senior students all showed painful expressions.

They had already roughly guessed who was hosting the club, and only the flamboyant Professor Lockhart could create such a scene.

"It's over, why him?" Harley heard a fifth-grade senior sister say in pain,

“He hasn’t taught me anything this year, and I feel like I’m going to get a T in Defense Against the Dark Arts on my O.W.Ls.

Such a professor with no skills organized a duel club, which was a waste of my review time! "

"Is Professor Lockhart here to teach us?" Hermione also heard the senior sister's words, and then looked disappointed.

"No, at least the deans have not left. They can still teach some useful knowledge." Harry pointed to the teacher's chair and comforted Hermione.

"Huh, that's okay." Hermione patted her chest and let out a long breath.
