Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 615 The source of happiness

  At this moment, Snape's face was extremely gloomy, as if someone punched him in the face just now, and his face was blacked out.

  His eyes were fixed on the package in front of him, as if the package contained not Valentine's Day chocolates, but a countdown time bomb.

  Suddenly a strange atmosphere filled the hall, and the surroundings were terribly quiet. Even Lockhart, who was smiling just now, froze. The Defense Against the Dark Arts professor also noticed the dangerous aura emanating from his colleagues.

  The silence only lasted for a while, and whispers began to appear sporadically in the hall, and the sounds became denser like rain falling from the sky.

  Everyone was curious as to who gave Snape Valentine's Day chocolates.

   This matter will probably become a rare unsolved mystery in Hogwarts.

   "I remember that Snape receives Valentine's Day chocolates every year!" Hearing several people beside him discussing this matter in low voices, Albert suddenly said, "Maybe, Snape has a girlfriend."

   "Nobody knows who actually sent Snape Valentine's Day chocolates." Both Fred and George suppressed their laughter.

yes!

   No one knows who sent the Valentine's Day gift. It is said that there is no signature on the package.

  Have Snape ever eaten the chocolate inside the package?

All right!

   At least, Albert doesn't care.

  After the depressive atmosphere disappeared, Lockhart quickly returned to normal. Just as he was about to speak, another owl flew towards the teachers' bench and threw a package in front of him.

   There was also a greeting card on the package, which was densely packed with unfamiliar words.

   “A gift from a foreign friend?”

   Lockhart couldn't understand Italian, but he was very experienced and quickly found the right words.

   "Ahem, well, I've prepared some small surprises for everyone on my own initiative!" Lockhart clapped his hands.

  The teachers and students in the hall soon saw Lockhart's so-called surprise.

  Through the doors leading into the hall, a dozen sullen dwarfs strode into the hall, each with golden wings on their backs, and a harp on their backs.

   "This is definitely the ugliest Cupid I've ever seen." Albert looked at the ugly and rude dwarf, and suddenly lost his appetite.

   "They should carry bows and arrows, not harps." Shanna complained, obviously agreeing with Albert's point of view. "Say, what is this, a dwarf?"

"Well, they are gnomes, similar to goblins and house elves, and gnomes are usually very strong and can also use magic." When Lee Jordan explained the gnomes to Shanna, he couldn't help complaining, "I think we should put Ai Burt's mouth is gagged, his last prediction is about to come true, and I have a hunch Lockhart is going to mess up Valentine's Day."

However, Lockhart didn't seem to hear the students' complaints and taunts, and said beamingly: "Our friendly little Cupid with a greeting card will be wandering around the school today, delivering Valentine's Day cards to you, so don't worry about it. Shy, should be active in this event!"

  When Lockhart said this, several of Albert's roommates gave him pitying looks. They all thought that Albert would probably receive a bunch of Valentine's Day cards.

   After all, this is really a very rare opportunity.

"Of course, if you are interested, you can also ask the professors for their tips. I dare say that no one is more proficient in fascinating charm magic than Professor Flitwick." Lockhart winked at the students present, Showing a characteristic smile, "Of course, you can also ask Professor Snape to teach you how to make a love potion. I believe my colleagues are willing to... enthusiastically..."

  Lockhart suddenly shut up, and the students who heard the voice turned their heads and saw a large group of owls swarming into the hall.

   This scene made several professors have a bad feeling, thinking that Lockhart had played a trick again, and sent a large group of owls to give themselves Valentine's Day gifts.

   It is no wonder that the professors have such an idea. Lockhart has had similar cases before.

Well, in fact, Lockhart also thought that these owls were all here to give him Valentine's Day chocolates, his face was already full of smiles, and he was even ready to open his hands to hug them, but soon the expression on his face The smile froze.

An owl landed and threw the package in front of Albert. The second, third, fourth, and fifth owls flapped their wings and landed beside him, squeezing back and forth on the table. Not only trampled the butter on the plate, knocked over the salt shaker on the table, and dropped a feather in the pumpkin porridge, all wanted to give him the package.

  A large wave of owls, most of which sent packages to Albert, Lockhart only received a few sporadic packages, and his cheeks couldn't help twitching.

   Well, he has received a wave of greeting cards just now, but seeing this scene, he still can't help feeling a little jealous.

   "You are still so welcome!"

  Fred looked at the piled-up packages and couldn't help but sigh.

"I'll get out of the way first, you help me organize the package, and open it yourself if you want to eat." Albert noticed Lockhart walking towards this side, whispered a few words to Fred beside him, and got up Flash people.

   "He's so popular!" Ron said in a sour tone, "Even Harry doesn't get such treatment."

   "Forget it, I don't want to be so popular!" Harry noticed Lockhart's actions just now, and now he wanted to laugh, and his mood was even more joyful.

   "By the way, Hermione, shouldn't you give him a gift too?" Ron cast an inquiring look at Hermione, he knew that Hermione had sent Albert a Valentine's Day card.

  Hermione didn't answer, and suddenly became very interested in the class schedule in her hand.

  Lockhart regretted not being able to catch Albert and took the opportunity to gain a sense of presence. He returned to his teacher's seat and looked through the Valentine's Day chocolates he had received.

   "Does anyone know this kind of writing?" Lockhart asked several colleagues around him.

   "It's a bit like Italian." Professor McGonagall has traveled to many countries before and knows a lot of words.

   "It should be a gift from a fan."

  Lockhart smiled and opened the package in front of several professors, and found that it was not Valentine's Day chocolate, but a whole piece of cheese.

   At this moment, Lockhart was a little dazed, he couldn't understand why someone would give him cheese on Valentine's Day.

   Is it just a coincidence that they collided together? If it is really a coincidence, then it is really a coincidence.

   "This thing looks good. It should be a variety of cheese produced in Italy. Would you like some?"

  In order to hide his embarrassment, Lockhart has already picked up the knife and fork next to him, ready to cut a piece of cheese and taste it.

  However, he soon discovered that the table knife couldn't cut the cheese very well, so he had to draw out his wand and use the cutting spell to cut a piece from the whole block of cheese.

   When Lockhart picked up the cheese and was about to taste it, his eyes were immediately attracted by the milky white, translucent worms on the kasumatsu cheese!

  Especially when the live maggot jumped out of the cheese and almost jumped on Lockhart's face, causing him to throw the cheese away and scream.

ah!

  The hall was suddenly terribly quiet, all attention was drawn to Lockhart who was screaming, and the students all looked towards the teacher's seat, trying to figure out what happened.

  Why did Professor Lockhart suddenly scream.

  A muscle on Professor McGonagall's cheek bulged, as if trying to laugh. What's even more amazing is that most of the gloom on Snape's face disappeared. He was looking at Lockhart's cheese curiously, with an extremely strange expression.

  As for Professor Flitwick, he poked the maggots on the cheese with a knife, and said to Lockhart, "Maybe, this cheese is a specialty of Italy."

  Finally, Lockhart, who had finally calmed down, had a bad expression on his face, and he realized that he had lost his composure just now. After hearing Professor Flitwick's words, he said loudly, "I didn't expect Italy to like to eat this kind of cheese with worms. I don't know how they can swallow it."
