Harry Potter and the Legend of the Temple

Chapter 13 Professor Lockhart

Halfway through the dinner, the new students who were reluctant to let go at first gradually became more active.

"My family is a pure-blood wizard." A black-haired little boy said, "My mother is Ravenclaw, and my father is Hufflepuff."

"Hey, our whole family is still in Slytherin, and I was sorted into Gryffindor." The girl sitting opposite the boy fiddled with metal utensils to deal with the pudding on the plate.

"What about you Colin? What do your parents do?"

"I...I was born as a Muggle." Colin Creevey looked a little reserved, "But my father is a milkman. He likes photography very much, the kind that takes pictures of others. If you want, I can do it for you." Photograph."

"You want to take a picture of Harry Potter?" The girl winked and nudged her lips in Harry's direction.

Colin Creevey's cheeks suddenly turned red and he was a little ashamed. On the express train, he had shown all kinds of admiration for Harry.

Ginny and Colin are both a treasured pair among this year's new students. Together they can form a Harry Potter fan association.

Harry, who was sitting on the other side, had no idea about this. He didn't even know that there were such crazy fans among his fellow students.

"Hmm..." Louis' mouth was filled with dessert, and he had to admit that the food at Hogwarts was mouth-watering. The pre-cut cooked beef cubes exude an attractive temperament and are just the right color, appearing dark and red. The smoked ham meat placed aside, every piece of the knife is even and flawless. Even the turkey meat, which is generally difficult to swallow and has a tight texture, is cooked tender and delicious. When you bite into it, the skin is crispy and the meat is crispy. Fresh and tender.

After everyone had eaten and drank, Albus Dumbledore stood up from his seat again. It suddenly became a little quiet down there.

"I want to talk about a few things before the new semester begins." Dumbledore paused. "First of all, our teacher lineup has undergone some changes this year. It is an honor for us to invite the world-famous Geed. Rolohart comes to Hogwarts and will teach Defense Against the Dark Arts."

There was a moment of silence, and then warm cheers broke out. Lockhart stood up in time to wave to everyone, smiling like a gentleman. Of course, most of the people cheering for him below were girls.

"I never expected that Dumbledore could invite Lockhart to come to Hogwarts." Hermione's eyes were indescribably excited, while Harry and Ron disagreed, and Louis even clapped his hands sparsely. He was not optimistic about the position of a Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, which was thrown away every year. Besides, Lockhart was still a liar with false appearances.

"Then should we call him Professor Lockhart from now on?" Hermione followed Harry and others in the discussion.

"I have no problem with Defense Against the Dark Arts, as long as he's better than Quirrell." Harry looked at his shoulders. Last year, that stupid Quirrell almost gave him a bad life, but there is nothing good about this kind of person after all. end.

Better than Chilo? Louis shook his head. Lockhart was probably the weakest Defense Against the Dark Arts professor in recent years, but he was lucky, at least he saved his life in the end.

Dumbledore gently raised his hand to calm down the emotions of many students.

"Next, I would like to remind you of a few things. First-year students are not allowed to enter the forbidden forest behind the school castle without permission. Of course, old students should not even think about entering." Dumbledore added, but his last sentence sounded a bit redundant. , who would go to the Forbidden Forest for no reason? Unless it's the Weasley twins.

"Also, Mr. Filch once again reminds you not to cast magic in the corridor between classes."

"Registration for Quidditch will begin next Tuesday. Students who want to participate can sign up with Mrs. Hooch."

Quidditch is quite attractive. Not long after Dumbledore finished speaking, there was a commotion below.

"Okay, that's all I have to say. Before everyone goes back, we have a special session to sing the school song!"

As soon as he finished saying this, Fred and George beside Louis suddenly became interested. He was a little surprised to see that the two of them didn't know what was so exciting about singing a song.

Next, he was hit hard by the fact that almost everyone sang the Hogwarts song to their own tune. What surprised Louis was that Dumbledore could conduct every tune.

Oh, that's the case. Although Louis feels that he is tone-deaf and sings songs like howling like a slaughtered pig, his electronic music style is unique among the music styles of the 1990s. Sometimes it is brisk, sometimes it is dynamic, and it is several times higher than others among many low-pitched music. A tune.

Even the twin brother's funeral march couldn't compare to Louis, and the last moment actually became Louis' solo part.

Although it didn't sound very good when sung, the music style gave people a completely new feeling. Dumbledore, the conductor, unconsciously looked at the young man twice.

This little Muggle-born wizard who was almost sorted into Slytherin once again stole the show at the banquet.

"Okay, then I wish you all good night."

Principal Deng waved his hand and announced the end of the dinner. The senior students lazily walked out of the main hall door, while the freshmen who had just entered this year were led by the prefects of each college to their respective common rooms.

"Percy, why is it you again this year?" Ginny couldn't help pouting when she saw the figure of her brother Percy.

"Sglint accidentally ate a stinky manure egg and is now lying in the school hospital." Percy spread his hands, "It's probably Fred and George's fault again."

The Sglint in Percy's mouth should be the fifth-year student who just became the prefect this year, and Percy is already in the sixth grade. In theory, he should not be the one to lead the new students this year.

"Okay, first-year Gryffindors, please line up, let's go this way." Percy ignored her sister's complaints and led everyone out of the restaurant.

"Percy has never liked George and the others." Ginny walked beside Louis and said, "Mom always said that Fred and George wouldn't be prefects next year, but they didn't care. Of course, who wouldn't want to be prefects? When?"

Louis thought to himself: Maybe your twin brother is really not qualified to be a prefect. If they really take the position, the whole Gryffindor will be in chaos.

The stairs in Hogwarts are intricate and intricate, and looking up, they feel even more unattainable.

"First-year students, please follow me. This staircase will change from time to time. You have no way of knowing where it will lead you, so if you don't want to get lost, just follow me." Percy directed everyone forward like a tour guide. Those first-year students New students, especially young wizards born as Muggles, have never seen such a scene, and they sighed repeatedly.

"Password?" Percy led everyone to a portrait of a fat lady.

"Dream Eater," Percy said. The Fat Lady turned around, and the portrait slowly fell to the side, revealing the passage behind it. The appearance of the Gryffindor common room was displayed in front of Louis.

"The boys' dormitory is on the left, and the girls' dormitory is on the right. Everything has been put up for everyone. Please have a good rest today." Percy introduced the new students.

Louis looked at the comfortable benches and warm torches in the common room, next to the two spiral staircases leading to the boys' dormitory and the girls' dormitory respectively.

After saying goodbye to Ginny, Louis returned to the dormitory and found his bed through the salute position. His opposite bed was Colin Creevey.

Colin Creevey smiled at him, waved his hand, and after introducing each other, he said good night and fell asleep.
