Chapter 80 Chaotic Scene 1

"Mouth grinning!"

Della waved her wand and cast the Crunching Charm that Professor Flitwick had just taught her on the little bug she had placed on the book.

Almost at the same time, the bug in front of Hermione laughed shrilly along with her bug.

When the professor who came to verify the effect of the spell was about to give them extra points, a burst of inappropriate laughter was heard.

Della and Hermione knew who was in trouble without having to look specifically. In addition to some strange spell effects, Ron's wand would sometimes be used on himself.

But it's much better than the slug problem that time.

Ron's embarrassing performance once again made the atmosphere in the classroom much more relaxed, relieving everyone's nervousness about the upcoming performance in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

In contrast to the others who unconsciously frowned, Zabini had a proud and relaxed expression on his face.

He was obviously very confident about his upcoming performance.

That guy is a complete narcissist.

Della glanced at Zabini's expression, and then thought of how he looked during the rehearsal these past two days, and couldn't help laughing. When her eyes fell on the light gold beside her, her breathing unconsciously stagnated.

Maybe both of them had the desire to reconcile in their hearts, so even if the problem was not solved, they returned to their previous tacit understanding state.

This is not a wise behavior. Not thinking about the future for the sake of momentary happiness is also against Della's code of conduct.

But it still developed into this.

Moreover, Della also sensed that she felt relieved and happy the moment the two broke the ice.

That feeling was just like smelling the first whiff of bitter fragrance after a complicated potion was prepared, refreshing and bringing a sense of relaxation after tension.

Even now, she couldn't understand why she said the first sentence, but she didn't feel any regret.

Della had envied Gryffindor's reckless impulse. Although it was often called recklessness, in her heart, it was an expression of the soul's emotions and the easiest way to reveal a person's qualities that should not be ignored.

Now, before she realized it, she also showed this impulse, but only in her ignorant feelings.

Then, at the same time, she also has to bear all the consequences after venting her soul. This is the double-edged sword behind "impulse" and also the risk she has chosen herself.

Before I knew it, a Charms class was over and it was time to go to Lockhart's acting class.

As soon as he entered the classroom, he saw Lockhart shaking his golden hair and clumsily performing a cleansing spell. The spell did not fail this time, but his performance was not necessarily as good as that of a third-year student.

"Oh! You are here. Come and sit down. I have already arranged the tables." Looking at the students standing at the door one after another, Lockhart raised his charming smile and pointed at the seats with different concentrations in the classroom. "I will clean the stage first. A pair of twins just got on the stage."

"They got the same scene, but they are not partners. It was a really chaotic fight scene just now." Lockhart was still talking when everyone sat down. He frowned slightly, as if he realized that the chaos on the stage was not something that his unskilled spells could handle in one go, so he turned to look at Hermione, "Miss Granger, please come over and help me tidy up the stage. I'll give everyone a few more instructions."

"Okay, Professor." Hermione blushed. She walked onto the stage hesitantly, her hand holding the wand trembling slightly, and she tidied up the podium that had been transformed into a stage.

"I think you must have made good preparations these two days. I can't wait. Before we start, let's draw the order first." As he said that, Lockhart walked to the desk that had been moved aside, waved his wand, and several paper balls appeared on the table.

The students in the audience started to make a small commotion and soon elected their own representatives to draw lots. Della's group let Zabini go up without any objection.

"Ah, I still think that this lecture is extraordinary. Not only can you learn knowledge, but it also gives everyone the opportunity to show off. You will know how meaningful this behavior is in the future!" Lockhart was still talking incessantly while the students were drawing lots.

"Well, now let us invite our first group, 'Holiday with a Domineering Lady,' to come on stage." Lockhart said loudly after checking the numbers in the hands of several people.

It was the one with Crabbe as Lockhart, and the hags, hell, most of them were the lions of Gryffindor.

Perhaps it was because Lockhart knew that his base was girls, so he had a little selfish motive when mixing the character pool.

"Ah! Ahh! Reckless wizard! Ahh! How dare you trespass into our territory!" Ron held the book and shouted at Crabbe with his teeth bared.

"Me?" Compared to Ron's hard work, Crabbe's voice seemed a little hesitant. He read the book with great effort and smiled a 'charming' smile according to the description in the book. "I, the wizard with the most charming smile in the world, have ventured here."

The students in the audience laughed at the greasy smile on Crabbe's face.

"Ah! Ahh!" Seamus shouted and jumped up to them.

Facing the gathered 'mother yakshas', 'Lockhart' on the stage began to stammer and talk nonsense. He praised the warts on the mother yakshas' bodies and lamented their hay-like hair. According to the description in the book, the group of yakshas immediately twisted their bodies in strange ways.

The group of boys pretended to be shy, achieving the same entertaining effect as in the book.

Listening to the laughter of all sizes around her, Della also smiled and opened the book "Holiday with a Hag" in her hand.

This is actually a funny adventure story. It tells the story of Lockhart who accidentally entered a tribe of female Yakshas and, with his handsomeness and intelligence, not only exchanged his shampoo for a large number of treasures, but also escaped unscathed after being exposed later because of his familiarity with the habits of female Yakshas.

Except for the questionable part about shampoo, the rest is actually very well written, well-reasoned and interesting.

"Snapped!"

The sudden sound of beating on the stage interrupted Della's thoughts, and the beating continued. Crabbe was beating the "crazy hag" Neville without holding back.

Neville's cries were drowned out by the laughter from the audience. They just thought it was a dramatic effect. Even Lockhart watched with a smile.

A few people noticed it, but when they were about to stand up to protest, Ron jumped onto Crabbe's back and shouted, "Ahhh! You damned wizard!"

"This isn't... uh!" Crabbe had just started to protest when his thick neck was clamped by Ron. His body leaned back under Ron's weight, and the hand that had just abused Neville left Neville. Seamus immediately found the right opportunity to help Neville aside.

"Ahhh!" While Crabbe was restrained by Ron, several other female demons who had just been beaten came up and hit him a few times while roaring. When Lockhart realized that something was wrong and wanted to stop it, Ron screamed again.

"Ah! You... cunning wizard..."

He deliberately shouted in a hoarse voice, trying his best to show his weakness. As his voice fell, Ron also broke away from Crabbe. He slowly leaned back, and the Yakshas around him followed suit and fell down.

Only Crabbe was left standing on the field in a daze. He looked at the people lying on the ground and forgot the pain in his body for a moment.

Finally, Ron shouted again, "Lockhart was well prepared for this big fight. His initial defeat was just to confuse these reckless Yakshas!"

"..."

Everyone outside the stage was staring at them in shock. Apparently, the sudden outbreak of the fight had exceeded their expectations. Della was the first to come to her senses. She looked at the reactions of the people around her and started to applaud first.

After the first round of applause, other rounds of applause also sounded sporadically, among which Harry's applause was the loudest and most powerful.

Lockhart also clapped his hands, but the expression on his face was rather forced. He looked at the second-year students on the stage who were more or less injured, and his eyes twitched. "Oh, you also changed the script. I'm not questioning your creativity, but you still have to pay more attention. Okay, let's start the next group."

"Got it, Professor Lockhart." Ron's face had turned a lot redder. He helped Neville, who was gasping for breath and crying out in pain, off the stage, with a bit of fierceness on his face.

Is Ron impulsive? Of course he is. But compared to watching his friends being bullied in silence, just gritting his teeth and cooperating with the show, this is how Ron does things.

But after finishing the work, he also thought about how bad the situation that could be considered a fight would leave him for observation, so Ron tried his best to make up for it.

Fortunately, he had friends in the audience who supported him, and Lockhart was unwilling to pursue the farce caused by his class.
