I added points to my talents at Hogwarts

Chapter 152: The Competent Professor Lockhart.

One class was enough to make the eaglets look at Lockhart with admiration.

Lockhart changed his previous image, and his performance in this class could be regarded as a competent professor rather than a… comedian.

In this class, he explained the spelling gestures and key points of the spell of confinement in a simple and easy-to-understand way.

Although it was of little help to Ives, Hermione actually gained something from his explanation.

The bell rang for the end of get out of class,

“That’s it for this class first. I won’t assign homework. Remember to review by yourself in your spare time. Lockhart stood behind the podium with a smile.

“Professor,” Ives suddenly raised his hand to indicate

“Ives, please speak.” Lockhart replied kindly.

“”I would like to ask,” Ives paused at the right time to make his question less abrupt,”what is your strength?”……”

Lockhart showed his eight big teeth,”That’s a good question.”

He showed his wand to everyone, and Ives noticed that his wand was different from the previous one.

Lockhart’s previous wand seemed to be a cherry wood wand, which looked gorgeous, but his current wand was a simple-looking yew wand.

According to Mr. Ollivander’s theory: each wand is unique due to different materials, inner cores, lengths, etc. If you use a wand that does not belong to you, the magic effect will be greatly reduced.

It is the wand that chooses its owner, not the owner who chooses the wand.

When Ives was bored, he read a book that taught people how to make wands, and it was introduced in it:

Cherry wood has strange powers, and people who hold cherry wood wands often have special prestige. While yew wands have the power to confer life and death on their wielders, their owners have a particularly dark and formidable reputation in the realm of duels and various hexes.

According to the author of that book, people who use yew wands are more likely to be attracted to dark magic.

If Ives’s memory is correct, Voldemort’s wand seems to be made of yew.

“I clarified it to reporters during the summer vacation,” Lockhart spread his hands and said helplessly:”My wand has a slight malfunction, so I can’t use any magic intact.”

“But it seems that no one wants to believe me……”He smiled self-deprecatingly.

In the audience, Mandy and Padma, two nymphomaniacs, shouted loudly:”Professor, we believe you!”

Lockhart smiled and asked the two to quiet down, and continued to explain:”Some time ago, I asked Olivan Mr. De checked the wand many times but could not solve the problem. Later, I found the reason——”

“——My original wand no longer suited me, so I picked a new one.” Lockhart waved his hand and conjured a bouquet of orchids on the top of the wand.”The new wand restored my strength.”

Aves raised his hand, wanting to ask something more.

This time Lockhart did not let him continue to ask questions. He raised his wrist and looked at his watch, and reminded with a smile:”Okay, you have to leave quickly. , next I have to teach third grade students.”

In the corridor,

Hermione leaned into Ives’s ear and said,”Aves, do you believe Lockhart’s words?”

“No,” Ives shook his head firmly. A person who couldn’t even recognize a basic potion suddenly became so powerful, just because he changed a wand?

This kind of nonsense can only deceive those who are new to the world. The little witch was so excited that he raised his eyes and glanced at Padma and Mandy, who were hugging each other excitedl

y not far away. They both had excited smiles on their faces, and Avis could hear it from their mouths from time to time. Lockhart’s name.

Ives had a guess in his mind that Lockhart’s change was probably due to the diary of Voldemort who had never appeared. But he had no evidence, and there was no basilisk in the original book in the castle. Attack.

Still have to wait for the truth serum to be brewed successfully, Maomao sighed.

……

In the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, after everyone left the classroom, Lockhart changed his gentle expression and turned pale and gloomy.

He took out a black diary from his pocket and placed it on the table.

The windows in the classroom were tightly closed, but strangely, the diary opened automatically, and a line of ink gradually appeared on the blank page:

【Have you done everything I asked you to do?】

“Not yet. You know, I have never killed an animal. You asked me to kill so many chickens all at once.……”Lockhart panicked and explained to his diary.

【I think you should understand that if you don’t do what I told you well, the power I leave in you will gradually kill you.】

【Of course, I don’t want or want to see you die】

【I just want to remind you that the sooner you do those things, the sooner you can gain power without side effects]

The line of dense ink gradually disappeared, and a few big words appeared on the diary.

【Power without side effects】

【strength……】

【Isn’t this what you want most?】

“I see.”A blush appeared on Lockhart’s pale face.

Under the podium, the Cornish elves in the cage huddled together and shivered. One of them accidentally hit the iron railing and made a noise.

Lockhart’s expression Gradually becoming irritable, he put away his diary, took out his wand, and a green light flashed in the classroom.

“”Crush the heart and cut out the bones,” he recited the spell coldly, no one noticed, and his eyes were covered with a layer of black mist.

“squeak! squeak!!”

The elves let out extremely ferocious screams.

After the Cruciatus Curse was released, Lockhart’s face turned pale again.

……

At the end of the week’s course, almost all the little wizards no longer thought that Lockhart was just a vase with an empty appearance.

Originally, some young wizards were resistant to his return to teaching and wanted Snape to continue teaching. After all, Lockhart’s previous classes were better off letting them study by themselves in the library.

But now, these people no longer say these words.

Lockhart’s Defense Against the Dark Arts class was well organized and the content taught was very practical. It was widely praised among young wizards.

Everyone hoped that he could continue to do so instead of going back to the Snape who had a stinky face all day long.

This made Snape even more irritable in Potions class.

He had secretly placed several different potions in the Slytherin common room, but a few days later, the potions were still there intact.

Snape was so anxious that he almost stood in front of George and Fred and asked them to drug Lockhart.

However, the Geminis really didn’t dare this time. They had just been punished by Professor McGonagall for a month’s confinement for grabbing Lockhart’s hair.

For several nights, they had to clean the bathroom under Filch’s supervision.

If they were caught for drugging again, they had no doubt that Professor McGonagall would fire them mercilessly to save them both from lowering Gryffindor’s house points every day.
