Chapter 233 Lockhart: It’s time to form LA (page 12)
When Lockhart finished speaking, he immediately pulled out his wand and fired several spells at the "Venom Leopard" and "Horned Water Snake".
"Stupefy!"
Along with clusters of fireworks exploding from the top of the wand, the sizzling spells also hit the two dangerous "magical animals" one after another.
However, although all the magic spells hit and made a series of "crackling" sounds, they only made a loud noise.
"Students, you have seen with your own eyes that some magical animals are naturally extremely resistant to attacking spells. Their skin cannot be penetrated by ordinary spells."
According to the script, Lockhart read out the lines he had prepared.
While speaking, he ran exaggeratedly across the dining table for several meters. After knocking over some plates with food, he jumped off the table. After landing, he held his chest out, raised his head, and raised his head like a gymnast. Stretched out his arms.
The poisonous leopard costume held up by the dwarf Ouyin from the inside is beside Lockhart, and the long-scorched water snake controlled by other dwarves is hovering behind him...
These are all designed in advance.
To this end, Lockhart even drew storyboard actions for these dwarves based on the layout of the Hogwarts Great Hall.
He patted the "venomous leopard" on the head, and the latter's neck swelled up and let out a roar like a lion's roar.
"Look, what should you do when you have angered such a beast and are unlucky to be next to it?" Lockhart said the lines in an aria-like tone, almost singing, and among the young wizards His fans (mostly little witches) had little stars in their eyes.
"Ha, actually the answer is very simple."
Lockhart pulled the "Poison Leopard"'s head, and then pointed his wand at the big eyes made of glass balls on the head.
"At this time, the 'Eye Spell' comes in handy, but it is not a spell that Professor Flitwick can teach you, because it does not exist in Hogwarts' spell textbooks such as "Standard Spells" and "Book of Spells" above……"
Lockhart's words not only made Professor Flitwick's face suddenly turn red, but also made him put his hands behind his back - this is an advanced technique in wizard duels, but only wizards with high magic power can do it. can be used; not only does this look very gentlemanly, but it can also effectively prevent opponents from seeing through the spell you are about to use through casting gestures.
In fact, although Dean Flitwick is now recognized as a good-tempered professor, when he was young, he was a complete bad-temper.
After all, being able to win the Wizarding Duel World Championship by KOing all his opponents speaks volumes.
And when Bourne saw the little movements of the headmaster of Ravenclaw from a distance, and noticed that Dumbledore was also blocking the latter's shot with his body, he couldn't help but feel a new feeling.
"Lockhart is probably drifting. Who gave him the courage to say that? He thought Professor Flitwick couldn't lift the wand - even if the little professor was naive enough to be too old to lift the wand, but... With his skill of 'silent casting without a wand', I can still easily bomb you Lockhart to the point where even your mother can't recognize you."
However, Bourne underestimated Lockhart. He originally thought that it would be over when Lockhart offended the seemingly good-tempered Professor Flitwick, but it turned out that this man's taunt was an AOE skill.
"...'The Eye Spell' is a curse. Among the three major magic schools in Europe, only Durmstrang's Professor of Charms teaches its students in class. However, many people don't know that this spell actually Most likely originated from Hogwarts.
It was first recorded in writing in a book called "Curse and Curse Breaking Curse", written by Winn-Dixie Winridian.
And that Winn-Dixie Winridian was a famous pharmacist who invented and experimented with many kinds of fantastic potions. However, because most of the potions he developed were niche and interesting, he was not recognized as a magic potion. Master of Medicine.
This is a bit similar to me.
To be honest, when I was in school, I also had extraordinary attainments in potions. However, because my ambition was not to fiddle with crucibles and fires day after day, I ultimately did not choose to become a master of pharmaceuticals.
Having said that, that Winn-Dixie Winridian may have had similar thoughts to me, and he ended up being famous for his attainments in magic.
In addition, he later returned to Hogwarts to teach. Do you know what courses he taught? "
Lockhart showed his trademark bright smile and asked the questions to the young wizards present like he was asking questions in class.
And where no one could see it, Dean Snape had already kneaded the knuckles of his fingers hidden in his sleeves white.
"It's Defense Against the Dark Arts!" Hermione raised her hands and gave her answer in a hurry.
Lockhart winked at the little witch in an exaggerated way, and made "gun-like" gestures with his hands, imitating a "biubiu"-like shooting action at her.
"Miss Granger's answer is absolutely correct. Five points for Gryffindor!"
Following Lockhart's words, among the four brass hourglasses that had been placed in the corner of the Great Hall, the one belonging to Gryffindor suddenly contained five more red gems.
Hermione was beyond excited.
The answer was completely guessed by her, but she didn't expect that such a vague answer could actually yield unexpected results.
"Yes, Professor Winn-Dixie Wenredian first served as the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts - and he is a bit similar to me. I can only say that 'any similarities are purely coincidental' - and after he taught for 7 years, Wen Dixon became the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts." Dick Venridian was also elected as the Headmaster of Hogwarts..."
Lockhart seems to be telling a story with a strong sense of substitution, and seems to be building momentum for himself. Anyway, it has completely deviated from the original theme of "Eye Spell".
The "Venom Leopard" and "Horned Water Snake", played by Ouyin and other dwarves, were surrounding him in various shapes, like some kind of surreal stage background.
This was all rehearsed in advance.
Dean McGonagall frowned at this scene in the teacher's seat. After watching it for a long time, she finally couldn't help but tilted her head and asked Dumbledore in a low voice: "Are you really not going to say something?"
"Don't worry, Minerva, this is the meaning of Halloween in itself." Dumbledore said with a smile: "It's quite interesting."
It's Halloween, both people and ghosts are showing off. Dumbledore thinks this is completely understandable. He even wants to see what other tricks Lockhart has up his sleeve.
And as if magic was really at work—wizards who were as powerful as Dumbledore, their will actually had the effect of having a small impact on reality—Lockhart's talk became more and more exciting, so that in the end He actually came up with an idea that was not in the original script on a whim.
"Classmates, I know you all want to become a wizard like me." He said excitedly, and his face became a little flushed.
"Therefore, I am planning to create a student organization in Hogwarts. I am going to name it the 'Legendary Association'. It aims to popularize some legendary stories in the wizarding world to its members so that all members can Learn from it!”
