Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures

17. Chapter 17 Luna Lovegood

    The next day, the first year of the second year students was Defense Against the Dark Arts.

    Although Lockhart’s class yesterday was almost a joke, it did not prevent girls from continuing to worship him. For example, Hermione, she has always stubbornly believed that Lockhart is intended to give everyone a practical opportunity to deliberately release little elf.

    So when Ivan rushed to the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, he saw that all the girls were sitting in the front row of the class, and he was not surprised at all.

    After the class sat down, Lockhart walked into the classroom and it still looked radiant.

    "Hello everyone, I think you should all know me!"He blinked and revealed eight white teeth. "Gilderoy Lockhart, the Order of Merlin Third Prize, Honorary Member of the Dark Force Defense League, won the Witch Weekly Award for the most charming smile five times, but I never hang this At the lips, I didn't rely on a smile to get rid of Bandon Banshee!"

    Very old-fashioned opening remarks, Ivan is sure that he said the same yesterday.

    "Very good, I saw that you all bought my full set of books. I think we will have a quiz today. Maybe you have already got some information from the senior students, but I have to regret to tell you that today's The questions are completely different from yesterday."He will try to curl it into everyone's hand, "Give you thirty minutes, start now!"

    Ivan looked at the papers in his hand, including what is the favorite food of Gilderoy Lockhart, the biggest wish of Gilderoy Lockhart, the biggest achievement of Gilderoy Lockhart so far, and more than fifty.

    Ivan was powerless on his forehead. In fact, he didn't know the answer to his question. He didn't buy Lockhart books at all.

    But it didn't matter. He bittered Quill for a moment and started writing on the test paper. He is going to tell Lockhart about Hogwarts Magic and invites him to be a long-time propaganda subject in the "person of elegance" column, of course Ivan uses a preacher's tone to describe the matter.

    In the test paper, he tried to describe himself as a Lockhart mad admirer.

    Although Ivan is not, it is very simple, because there are many people around him who can be used as a reference.

    He tried to imitate Hermione's tone. In his description, "Hogwarts Magic" is a newspaper for Lockhart himself. Ivan intends to use this newspaper to show Lockhart fans the photos and daily life he coached at Hogwarts to help him further. expand influence.

    Ivan spent a lot of time describing the benefits of doing so, and it was just thirty minutes before he wrote the letter full of exaggerated compliments.

    Later, Lockhart took the test paper up and looked at the class.

    "Oh, I am very disappointed, yes, no one like me to write down all my things like Miss Granger in the second grade. If you read the book "Year with the Yeti" carefully, you will know that I like it. What is the food, and I have clearly mentioned in the fourth chapter of "Gadding with Ghouls"…."

    Lockhart quickly flipped through the parchment at hand until he saw Ivan.

    "Wait, there is an interesting test paper here."He concentrated and looked at him, whispering quietly. "Yes, this is what I always wanted to do, further expanding my influence and becoming the most admired wizard. It is very good!"

    In the classroom, all the students looked at him curiously.

    Everyone didn't know what Lockhart was doing, Wick Frobisher, Ivan's roommate, a handsome boy who was stretching his neck and trying to see the test paper.

    Yes, I doLockhart suddenly turned the paper over, "One hundred percent! Where is Mr. Ivan Mason? ”

    Ivan hurriedly stood up and everyone's eyes turned to him.

    "Great, Ivan! I am very willing to share my things with my most loyal book fans. ”Lockhart smiled and said, "Very good, add Gryffindor!"

    When Ivan sat down again, Colin whispered beside him, "Ivan, it's incredible, what did you write on it?"

    "Nothing, just invite him to give us a few photos, prepare your camera, Colin."Ivan smiled and said, "We started taking pictures after class, we don't have much time."

    In addition to the initial episode, the next time is relatively boring.

    Defense Against the Dark Arts almost became a reading lesson, and Lockhart asked the students to stand up and read his work in turn, and when everyone was bored, the class time was up. All the students left the classroom as quickly as possible. Except for Ivan, he walked to the podium with some confused Colin.

    Lockhart greatly praised Ivan's meal and said that he can help if the newspaper encounters something in the process of preparation.

    When he knew that the novel had not received the manuscript so far, Lockhart even expressed his willingness to put the manuscript that he had not published before.

    Next, Lockhart continually puts a variety of poses for Colin to shoot.

    Ivan was surprised to find that Lockhart was just right to reveal his fascinating eight teeth, no matter which angle.

    Ivan was very impressed with this.

    Due to time constraints, Ivan and Colin had to say goodbye after taking more than a dozen photos. Lockhart was still inviting two people to go to his office after dinner to continue shooting.

    Thanks to Lockhart's enthusiasm, they were five minutes late, and when Ivan knew from Colin that the next section was Transfiguration, his heart sank.

    Professor McGonagall is different from other professors. She is strict and intelligent. All new students have been warned. Try not to provoke her and Professor Snape at school, because the end of the game is often miserable.

    Now, they dare to be late for the first class, and Ivan has not dared to go down. When two people ran outside the Transfiguration classroom, they saw a strangely dressed Ravenclaw girl standing outside the door.

    The girl has a messy, dirty, long-haired golden hair. The eyebrows are very light in color and the two eyes are convex outwards. This gives her an old-fashioned expression with a pair of radishes on her ears. Earrings, a necklace of Butterbeer's cork hanging from the chest, reveals a madness.

    "What are you doing, it is time for class!"Colin asked indefinitely.

    “I am looking for a trail behind the Nargle left.”The girl said slyly, her eyes stayed on the open space outside the gate of the Transfiguration classroom.

    "Sorry, what are you looking for?"

    "Nargle."The girl looked up and her eyes fixed on Ivan. "You are Ivan Mason."

    "Yes, it is me, who are you?"

    "Luna Lovegood."She turned her light eyes to Colin. "I don't know who you are?"

    Colin hadn't had time to answer, the classroom door was opened from the inside, and Professor McGonagall looked at them three seriously.

    mr Mason, Mr. Creevey, and Miss Lovegood, it’s time for class, you are already late! ”Her mouth is very tight. "If you don't plan to come in, then never come in again."

    Ivan and Colin hurried down into the classroom, and Luna sat next to them.

    "It’s bad luck, I met Luna."Colin whispered, "She is a Ravenclaw's freshman, everyone calls her crazy girl, I heard that she actually believes that Nargle and Crumple-Horned Snorkack exist."

    "But they do exist."Luna suddenly interrupted.

    "How is it possible, these are just fictional…"

    "Small voice, Colin!"Ivan yelled at him. "And, don't comment on things that you don't know."

    "A very sensible choice."Luna's voice is very low, saying in a singing-like tone, "extraordinary intelligence is the greatest wealth of mankind."

    Colin still wanted to say something, but he saw Professor McGonagall staring at himself, and he hurriedly closed his mouth.

    “Transfiguration is the most complicated and dangerous spell in your Hogwarts course. If anyone wants to be naughty in my class, then I don't expect to see him again in the next class, but I warned you.”

    After that, Professor McGonagall turned her desk into a pig and then changed back.

    The students were all attracted, and they couldn’t start learning right away, but they quickly realized that it took a long time to turn furniture into animals.

    After everyone wrote down a lot of complicated and difficult notes, Professor McGonagall sent them a match and began to let them try to become a needle.

    For the young wizard who just entered school, it is very difficult to do this. They can't even make the match change. It wasn't until the class was finished that Ivan turned the match head into the tip of the needle, but he was still the fastest student in the class.

    Ivan noticed that Professor McGonagall's mouth didn't seem so tight.
