Chapter 119 Charming Smile Lockhart
Chapter 119 Charming Smile Lockhart
Mandrake is a magical plant. Its rhizome looks like an ugly human baby. It has extremely high medicinal value. Cutting the rhizome can be used to make Mandrake resurrection potion, and Mandrake Grass is an important part of most antidotes.
Joshua also knew that Professor Sprout, who was wearing tattered clothes in front of him, was actually one of the three Gods of Wealth at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, while the other two were actually Snape and Dumbledore.
One used his outstanding knowledge of herbal medicine to cultivate many rare and precious herbs on the market, while Professor Snape used his potions master level to earn a steady stream of extra money for Dumbledore.
But Dumbledore himself was even more powerful. The entire Hogwarts board of directors was his cash machine. Hogwarts had no budget, so he asked for it directly, and the board of directors dared not refuse to give it.
Just kidding, guys that even Fudge is afraid of, how dare they say a word?
In the herbal medicine class, some students still fainted. Fortunately, the mandrake is still a seedling, and it will only make the students unconscious and not die.
Of course, this student was not Neville. He was safe and sound after being reminded by Joshua. Instead, it was a few Hufflepuff students who didn't know what happened. They were then sent to the school infirmary by Professor Sprout.
After the herbal medicine class, I can see that almost all the students are sweating profusely. Repotting the Mandrake is a physical job. The main reason for this is that the Mandrake will keep moving. , it is very difficult for little wizards to control.
The Gryffindor students rushed to the castle dragging their bodies with sore backs, because the second class in the morning was Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration class, and they didn't want to be reprimanded for being late.
Professor McGonagall's subject was always difficult, but today it was extremely difficult. They wanted to turn a beetle into a button.
The little beetle is very small, and the magic wands of the little wizards can't be aligned, so there is no need to turn it into a button, but Joshua may be the only exception. He is very good at turning the ladybug in front of him into a button. Delicate small buttons in red, yellow and black.
Professor McGonagall gave Gryffindor five points with a look of relief.
Since breakfast, Hermione hadn't had any communication with Joshua or anyone else throughout the morning. Joshua didn't look for her, and she didn't take the initiative to look for Joshua. The relationship between the two seemed to be at a standstill.
During lunch, Neville wanted to take Joshua to find Hermione who didn't show up, but Joshua refused.
Now Hermione, who is almost bewildered by Lockhart, is useless to say anything at this stage. Hermione is very smart. In the original book, she will soon be able to see the essence of Lockhart's incompetence. Sober, and trying to persuade her now would only be counterproductive.
During the meal, two Hufflepuff girls took the initiative to talk to Joshua. It was Hannah and Susan. It was nothing more than something in the herbal medicine class in the morning. After they left, Dean and Seamus sitting across the long table Started to sing the oboe.
"It seems that Joshua is becoming more and more popular with girls."
"That's right, who told him to be handsome and cute, and who would dislike Joshua, who has good grades and is warm and kind?"
"As far as I know, there is a senior in Slytherin who mistook Joshua for a girl before and wanted to confess"
Joshua's old face turned black, and he drew out his wand to warn them, and dared to say another spell to serve.
But it was still too late, and most of the people at the Gryffindor table were happy to hear it, and even the Slytherin table next door had people laughing.
Draco brought a black-haired girl to Joshua's side, and he patted Joshua's shoulder with a serious expression on his face, "Joshua, you don't have to care, even if you really become a girl, we will The two will still be good buddies."
Joshua's face became darker, and he cursed in his heart, "If you don't know how to speak, talk less," while maintaining a very forced smile on his face, "Thank you"
There was only one class in the afternoon, and this class was the Defense Against the Dark Arts class that all the girls at Hogwarts were looking forward to, and the boys were also looking forward to it.
Although Lockhart didn't give them a good feeling, last year's Defense Against the Dark Arts was still very bad. At least Lockhart is also a well-known wizard, so it shouldn't be too bad.
If Joshua knew what they were thinking, he would have told them, "Don't get your hopes up."
Joshua and Neville came to the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom unhurriedly. It was full of people early on. The girls looked at the classroom door with expectant eyes, thinking about the Loha they loved today. What kind of clothes will Professor Te wear to class?
Soon Lockhart came to the classroom, and what made the girls uncomfortable was that Lockhart came to the classroom with Harry with his arms around him very intimately.
Although Harry's face is bored, he may not know that at this moment he has become the "love rival" of the girls in the classroom
Gilderoy Lockhart was dressed very brightly today, but he was spotless from head to toe. His flowing turquoise robe fluttered with the wind, and a turquoise top hat with a gold rim was on top of his gorgeous and glittering blond hair.
It seems that he is very fond of turquoise, and there is even a turquoise decoration on the black leather shoes under his feet.
Harry, who was released by Lockhart, took his place, together with Ron.
At this moment, the students in the classroom began to chatter.
Lockhart coughed and cleared his throat, and the students quickly quieted down. He walked to the podium, leaning against a portrait of himself, showing his white teeth, and a charming smile filled the classroom. The girls in the middle started screaming.
"Me," he pointed to his portrait, the third class of the Order of the Knights, honorary member of the Anti-Dark Arts League, and five-time winner of the "Wizard Weekly" Most Charming Smile Award!But I don't talk about that, I didn't exorcise Wan Lun's female ghost with a smile! "
Wonderful self-introduction, and warm applause in the classroom, mainly due to the hard work of the girls.
Lockhart stepped off the podium, walked around the room, and returned to the podium again.
"I see that you all bought my complete set of works, very good! I think we will do a small quiz today. Don't be afraid, just see how you read and how much you understand." After handing out the papers, Go back to the podium and say "Give you three 10 minutes, start now!"
Joshua looked at the questions on the test paper in his hand, all of which were about his own personal problems, such as what color he likes best, what he likes to eat and so on.
No one is more self-absorbed than Lockhart.
Joshua didn't write a single word on the test paper, and he hasn't opened Lockhart's book since he bought it, so how can he know what's in it?
On the other hand, Neville on the side was writing seriously, but when he was in trouble, he was more likely to think about it than when he was writing.
