Hogwarts: Is this junior good or evil?

Chapter 295: Surprising News at Breakfast

"Teacher, you may be exaggerating a bit." Yang Tian said seriously: "Getting new spells from magical animals is certainly one way. But there is no need to exaggerate it too much. After all, there is a fundamental difference between ancient spells and modern spells, and the time interval is too long."

Professor Flitwick was not annoyed at all when he heard this. Instead, he said with a smug look on his face, "Silly boy, have you still not figured out the key? What is the biggest problem with modern magic? I have already said that there is no principle to support it! When we create and modify modern spells, we usually do so based on existing principles. It's just like cooking. If you want to make a dish, you have to have the corresponding ingredients. The current situation is that there are too few ingredients!"

In an instant, Yang Tian was enlightened. He thought about the spells he created, recalled the deductions of the intelligent brain, and finally found to his surprise that everything he used could be found in the framework of modern magic, and the countless ancient spell books he had read were completely useless...

Seeing that the little guy finally understood, Professor Flitwick finally smiled happily: "Believe me, as long as you write your discovery into an academic paper, anyone who loves magic will go crazy!"

Listening to the conversation between the two, the faces of the Transfiguration experts did not improve at all. An anxious Adrian said directly: "I think Yang Tian is right. We can't continue to study aimlessly like this. Although this result is hard to accept, we must face reality."

Professor McGonagall, who was originally quite happy, was stunned when she heard this, and hurriedly asked what happened. When Ciara explained Yang Tian's subsequent analysis, Professor McGonagall was completely silent.

When everyone saw that the usually optimistic Professor McGonagall was also silent, they knew that the matter was a foregone conclusion. After some discussion, they finally made up their minds to temporarily stop the research on Boggart and start looking for new magical animals.

Although this was a heavy blow, the experts quickly adjusted their emotions and even discussed with Professor Flitwick the future mode of cooperative research...

Early Friday morning, Yang Tian flew into the auditorium on his somersault cloud to have breakfast. From a distance, he saw that the Ravenclaw table was as lively as usual. All the members of the study group seemed to have gotten used to coming here to have breakfast and chat.

But as soon as he got closer, he realized something was wrong. He heard Draco complaining crazily, "Oh my God, I'm going crazy. What kind of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is this? He's such a disgrace to our Hogwarts!"

Seeing Pansy and Daphne beside them with expressions of approval, the friends all showed curiosity.

Penelope asked directly: "What happened? Why do you hate Professor Lockhart so much?"

"Resentment? I have a lot of resentment. This guy is not as good as Professor Quirrell last year!" Draco's eyes were full of disgust.

"Poof..." Hermione, who was drinking porridge, couldn't help but spit it out. Professor Quirrell had left such a deep impression on her, and here comes another one who is worse than Quirrell?

But thinking back to Lockhart's demeanor and the books he wrote, Hermione asked uncertainly, "Can you tell me more about the details?"

"I won't talk about the little things like taking pictures with Harry before the class started." Draco continued to complain: "A quiz was arranged for everyone at the beginning of the class! Do you know the content of the quiz? What is Lockhart's favorite color? What is Lockhart's biggest wish..."

When everyone heard this, they all showed shocked expressions. How narcissistic must this teacher be?

Such a reaction made Draco even more excited: "Oh, few of you remember that my favorite color is lavender. I mentioned this in "A Year with the Tibetan Snow Man"... Of course, you should also read "Wandering with Werewolves"... " He imitated Lockhart's tone vividly.

The friends were laughing so hard that they were rolling on the ground. They could completely imagine how this showy professor must have reacted at that time.

"Maybe... maybe it's just the professor's hobby. In fact, these questions are not that difficult." Hermione retorted in a low voice.

"Oh, really! Then he released the most terrifying dark creature in the wizarding world and ran away by himself. Is it also a personal hobby?" Draco retorted with even more disdain.

"Ah?" Everyone was slightly shocked when they heard this. Angelina quickly asked, "What kind of dark creature did he release? No one was injured, right? Strictly speaking, this was a teaching accident."

"Don't listen to Draco's nonsense. Professor Lockhart released the Cornish elves." Pansy glared at Draco who was talking nonsense.

"Cough cough..." Hermione was choked again, her face full of disappointment at this time.

"Tsk, why are you so anxious? Professor Lockhart said it himself: My duty is to make you aware of the most vicious creatures in the wizarding world... What I show you may be the most horrifying thing you have never seen..." Draco imitated him again and made everyone laugh.

"No way? Can't he even defeat the Cornish elves? And he just left you and ran away?" Padma's tone was full of shock and contempt.

"Yes, that's the truth! Fortunately, Pansy, Draco, and I are no longer who we used to be. Otherwise, that class would have been really embarrassing for us." Daphne said, looking at Yang Tian with gratitude. All their changes came from this boy.

"It's terrible. I feel goosebumps when I think about having such a professor teach us Defense Against the Dark Arts! I can't imagine what useful knowledge I can learn from him! It would have been fine if he was so unreliable last year, but now Hogwarts is under the spotlight. Such a thing will make the whole school a laughing stock!" Hermione was already roaring in indignation. The greater her expectations were before, the greater her disappointment was now.

The other friends were also very angry and looked at Yang Tian.

Yang Tian was not panicked when he saw this. He smiled and said, "It's okay. Last year we were still weak and had little influence. But this year, we have made great progress. I will have a good talk with Mr. Lockhart. If he can give us a satisfactory course arrangement, that's fine. If not, I will teach him well and let him know how to become a qualified professor."

After hearing this, the friends seemed to have found their backbone and ate their breakfast peacefully...
