Hogwarts: Is this junior good or evil?

Chapter 299: Changes in Defense Against the Dark Arts

In the alchemy laboratory, Nicolas Flamel and his wife actually looked at Yang Tian with a teasing look.

Originally, it was a happy thing to meet the teacher and his wife, but seeing their weird looks, Yang Tian was still puzzled: "Teacher, Master's wife, is there something wrong? Why are you looking at me so weirdly?"

"My students have brought a complaint to us," Perenelle said, half angrily and half jokingly. "Otherwise, we wouldn't have come back so early."

"What?" Yang Tian's heart trembled, and he suddenly thought of Furong. He hurriedly explained: "Teacher, it was Madam Maxime and Furong who came to Fuli Manor during the holidays and persuaded me to join Bubbaton School of Magic..."

Yang Tian described the situation in detail, and then sighed again: "I didn't know she came to Hogwarts until the Sorting Ceremony. Do you think this is my fault?"

"Humph!" Perenelle said in mock anger, "That's not what Maxime said."

Yang Tian was suddenly overwhelmed and even felt like he had no way to defend himself.

Seeing their beloved disciple being humiliated, the couple laughed out loud. Nicolas Flamel patted Yang Tian's little head and said lovingly, "It's okay. We know Maxime's character. Don't worry, we are here." After a pause, he added, "Of course, you still need to be careful about some secret tricks, especially when you go to France."

Yang Tian heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this, but on the other hand, he felt even warmer in his heart. He and Madam Maxime were both students of the same generation, but at the moment, it seemed that he was more favored after all.

With this thought in mind, Yang Tian nodded heavily and said, "Teacher, don't worry, I will be careful."

Perenelle patted Yang Tiandi's shoulder with relief and said, "Well, we just came back today and need to rest. Starting tomorrow, the alchemy experiment will begin as usual..."

......

For the little wizards at Hogwarts, the weekends always passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was already time for the Defense Against the Dark Arts class on Monday.

The classmates were all curious about Lockhart, who had admitted his mistakes before, and they were eager to know what kind of transformation he would have.

At this time, Lockhart was still standing on the podium in gorgeous clothes, and said in a clear voice: "Next, let us unveil the mystery of the ghouls together!" After that, he reached out and lifted the black curtain covering the cage, and a strange creature with a hideous face and extremely terrifying appearance suddenly appeared in front of many little wizards.

"Don't worry, everyone. Although the ghoul is ugly, cruel and a little cunning, it is not a particularly dangerous monster." Lockhart did not deliberately create an unfathomable atmosphere, but said it in a calm tone. However, no matter what way he expressed it, he successfully captured the attention of the young wizards. It is undeniable that Lockhart's outstanding performance talent is indeed amazing.

"It usually chooses to live in the attic or barn of a wizard's family, and feeds on spiders and moths there. It often makes groaning sounds and occasionally throws things around." Lockhart introduced the various characteristics of the ghoul in detail: "But its thinking is relatively simple. Even if its behavior is extremely bad, at most it will just yell at those who accidentally run into it and scare them."

"However, this situation is still disgusting, right? Therefore, the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures has set up a special team responsible for driving away the ghouls who break into Muggle homes without permission - the Ghoul Drive-Out Squad." Lockhart explained everything in detail, giving the young wizards a sense of déjà vu as if they were listening to a story.

"As for the methods of expulsion, there are mainly two types: expulsion spells and binding spells. Okay, classmate Yang Tian, ​​please come to the stage and demonstrate for everyone..."

Yes, this is the strategy that Yang Tian and Lockhart jointly conceived: in every class, there are some outstanding little wizards; giving them a chance to express themselves will naturally achieve a win-win effect...

Ever since Yang Tian used the soul seed to successfully transform the famous Lockhart into his loyal follower, he has been working hard to whitewash him. Although this person's strength is really poor, it doesn't prevent him from becoming your living signboard, right?

After Yang Tian demonstrated the spell casting method several times, he was lost in thought. But the young wizards were very excited at this time. After all, this was their first time to practice in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class. At the request of Professor Lockhart, they lined up in a neat row and practiced the two new spells on the ghouls one by one.

Perhaps, as the professor said, this ghoul was not actually that dangerous, and the two spells were simple and easy to understand; every little wizard actually completed the spell practice successfully.

Although Lockhart had been engulfed by the soul seed, looking at the excited expressions of the little wizards, Lockhart still felt a sense of accomplishment.

After all the young wizards finished their practice, Lockhart said solemnly: "Although ghouls are annoying creatures, they also have feelings. In those old wizard families, ghouls are often the topic of their after-dinner conversations, and they may even become pets for the whole family. This is also a symbol of the sedimentation of a family. So, for ghouls, whether you like or hate them depends entirely on the wizard's own will. There is no good or evil, and no right or wrong."

After a pause, Lockhart suddenly asked mischievously: "At the end of this class, I would like to ask everyone, are you satisfied with today's class? If everyone is satisfied, then our Defense Against the Dark Arts class will follow the same pattern as today. Of course, as the course progresses, the dark creatures we will face will definitely become more and more dangerous."

Hearing this, the little wizards' faces were filled with excitement, and they shouted excitedly: "We are very satisfied!"

……

After the new Defense Against the Dark Arts class, the story of Professor Gilderoy Lockhart spread quickly throughout the Hogwarts campus. Although the young wizards of all grades had never witnessed the professor casting spells in person, this guy could always make excuses with the most legitimate and smooth reasons. For a time, Lockhart became a mysterious master in everyone's mouth.

This scene almost made Yang Tian laugh to death. There was even one time when Hermione ran over to ask her friends if they had wronged Lockhart, which almost made Yang Tian laugh.

Fortunately, Lockhart is now completely under his control, so he is not afraid of him playing any tricks.

So, after a laugh, Yang Tian once again devoted himself to learning magic...
