Chapter 296: Send Gilderoy Lockhart Away
Chapter 296: Send Gilderoy Lockhart Away
"I'm Gilderoy Lockhart, third-class Order of Merlin, honorary member of the Dark Arts Defense League, and winner of the Witch Weekly Most Charming Smile Award for five consecutive times..." Professor Lockhart's signature opening line appeared as expected.
Yang Tian and his friends were completely speechless, watching this guy start the quiz as Draco said. Hermione looked at Yang Tian for help, as if she wanted him to talk to this unreliable professor as soon as possible.
But Yang Tian knew that after the disastrous Cornwall elf performance, Professor Lockhart, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, turned on a more deadly drama performance mode, shocking all the young wizards. Perhaps, Yang Tian, who was good at putting himself on the moral high ground, keenly felt that it was the best time to speak. So he gave Hermione a reassuring look and took the paper in his hand.
Good boy, Yang Tian almost laughed out loud when he saw the questions on the test paper: Mr. Lockhart's greatest achievement; Mr. Lockhart's birthday...
The three pages of parchment completely opened the eyes of the young wizards. Yang Tian did not pay attention to these details and answered the test paper according to his memory.
Half an hour later, Lockhart collected the papers and started reviewing and commenting on them in front of the class. The process was similar, but the result made the tutor very satisfied, because two Ravenclaw students actually scored full marks.
"Very good, very good indeed! I know Mr. Yang Tian, which one is Ms. Granger?" Lockhart laughed, "As expected of Ravenclaw, who is known for his intelligence. Now I declare that each of you will get ten points!"
Hearing this, Hermione covered her face with her raised hands. This was probably the first time she didn't want to get extra points for something. It was so embarrassing.
"Okay, everyone, let's get down to business! What I'm going to teach you today is the true experience of a wizard, which is the most valuable experience in a wizard's life." As he said that, Lockhart took out his book "A Year with the Tibetan Yeti" and began to lecture with saliva flying.
As time went by, the young wizards looked at each other in bewilderment, feeling extremely awkward, but Lockhart was still there entertaining himself, as if he was completely unaware of the strange atmosphere around him. Yang Tian, who was sitting in the audience, had been observing all this silently. He hoped that more young wizards would see that Lockhart was just a fool who only had good looks and liked to show off.
Gradually, the little wizards' eyes became more and more unfriendly, and Yang Tian finally felt that the time was ripe. More importantly, he could no longer bear it. He stood up without hesitation and said loudly: "Professor Lockhart, I need to talk to you now." His voice was flat, but there was an unquestionable firmness in his tone.
Lockhart, who was performing hard on the stage, was stunned when he heard this. He originally wanted to scold the student who interrupted his lecture, but when he saw that the person who spoke was Yang Tian, the expression on his face instantly became extremely friendly.
"Oh, it's Yang Tian!" Lockhart put on a smiling face. "Although I personally don't quite agree with your behavior of wasting everyone's precious study time. However, considering that you are one of the most outstanding students in our college, I believe you must have some compelling reasons for doing so. Okay, okay, classmates, study on your own for a while, I'll go and have a good talk with this rising star who is in a state of confusion."
After that, Lockhart took Yang Tian out of the classroom.
He was about to ask, but found that Yang Tian did not stop, but led the professor all the way to the eighth floor.
Lockhart was very confused, but because of his face and contempt for children, he let Yang Tian lead him walking.
Soon, Lockhart was brought to the door of the Room of Requirement by Yang Tian. Seeing Yang Tian walking around the corridor strangely, Lockhart finally put away his smile and asked in a reproachful manner: "Yang Tian, although you are an excellent student, you should at least tell me where you are going to take me?"
Before he finished speaking, the door of the Room of Requirement opened. The next moment, Yang Tian gently pushed the surprised Lockhart into the door...
Seeing that the situation was out of control, Lockhart was about to question the other party's intentions. But before he could open his mouth, Yang Tian got straight to the point and said, "Mr. Lockhart, what do you think would happen if I gave all the content of your lecture today and the process of your previous lectures to other classes to the Daily Prophet and asked them to publish it?"
"What do you mean?" Lockhart, who was already very angry, now showed a fierce expression.
"It means exactly what it says. Guess what will happen to you." Yang Tian chuckled.
"Haha, what's the big deal? I said at the beginning of the class that I would teach all the little wizards the experience of being a wizard, which is much more important than some common sense that can be learned by just reading a book." Lockhart once again showed his shamelessness: "Yang Tian, do you have any misunderstandings about me? I know that you are still young now and can't understand my painstaking efforts. In the future, you will all be grateful to me, and my readers will also understand me."
"You are really confident! But that's normal. Anyone with a little bit of brains wouldn't like you, right? However, since I dared to confront you, I had already anticipated your reaction. What's more important is that I know exactly where these masterpieces of yours come from. Including those who were attacked by your specialty, the Forgetting Spell. Guess how many I have found now?"
Lockhart's face turned pale instantly. He had never expected that this seemingly ordinary student actually knew so many things. The next moment, he said almost flatteringly: "Hey, Yang Tian, I have always had the best intentions towards you! Just tell me what you want, money? Fame? As long as you can tell me, I will do my best to satisfy you."
"What if I ask you to sincerely swear allegiance to me?" Yang Tian asked expressionlessly.
"I do, of course I do! You are the master I have been waiting for!" Lockhart answered without hesitation, but there was a hint of imperceptible cunning in his eyes.
Yang Tian was obviously not fooled by his appearance. He said coldly: "Before you say such words against your will, take your hand away from the wand. Otherwise, I don't mind teaching you a lesson you will never forget."
Lockhart was panicking, and his mind was rapidly weighing the pros and cons. Just as he was about to take the risk and give it a try, Yang Tian waved the ancient wand in his hand quickly: "Expelliarmus."
