Hermione, join me as Minister of Magic!

If you want to say that everyone has learned nothing, it seems wrong, but everyone's attitude towards this subject is very questionable. I am afraid that it is similar to the attitude of those students in Muggle primary schools towards morality and labor.

Lockhart had expected this situation: "It doesn't look very good, but I'm glad that you still have enough time to consolidate your foundation. Please pick up your wands and stand up."

The little wizards stood up obediently, all holding their wands in their hands.Lockhart took out his wand and drew a circle towards the audience.

The desks and chairs in the classroom suddenly seemed to have spirituality. They jumped up from the ground, then obediently moved to the two sides of the classroom, and then piled up layer by layer, leaving a large space in the middle.

If Flitwick had seen all this while Lockhart was a student, he would probably have given Ravenclaw a 10.

When the middle of the classroom was completely empty, Lockhart took out his own box under the eyes of countless little wizards.

"Relying on the magic wand, we wizards can cast all kinds of spells. Some spells are powerful, some have colorful effects, and some are inconspicuous but very practical. But all of these have a premise—that is, hit the opponent

In this lesson, we will review the repelling spell we learned last year. Of course, if you have previewed some new spells in the textbook, such as the advanced stun spell of the repelling spell, the derived obstacle spell, or other branches Freezing spells, binding spells, etc., I will give extra points as appropriate. "

As he spoke, he opened his trunk: a humming wooden box was revealed.

"And this, is our first lesson - use your spells to accurately repel the "Billywig Worm"!

Chapter 21 Testing talent

—It sounds like Billywig. Although students from Muggle families are still a little confused, those from wizard families are basically relieved.

"What's that?" Harry whispered to Ron.

"Good question, who can tell me what Billywig is, its characteristics: and its efficacy." Lockhart began to ask questions.

Hermione raised her hand immediately, looking very eager to make a good impression in front of Lockhart.

Because this question is not difficult, some of the Ravenclaw eaglets who shared the class with Gryffindor were eager to try, but they put down their half-raised hands even under Hermione's fierce stare. .

There is no need to offend the first grade for a small limelight --- this is Eagle Academy

The philosophy of human existence.

Of course, Hermione doesn't know, even if she doesn't try to answer the question, Lockhart still "knows a lot" about her, even because of her relationship as the Minister of Magic in "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child" Well, he had already included her in his "Ministry of Magic Cabinet" early on to attract votes from left-wing wizards.

So Lockhart pushed Hermione up smoothly.

"It is an Australian insect with a blue body and a fast flight speed. It has pincers on its tail. People who are stung will feel dizzy and feel dizzy, so candy shops will use its pincers to make "Zizi bee sugar". "

Hermione said everything she knew almost in one breath, her tone was fast and urgent, as if someone was chasing her.

"Miss Granger answered correctly, five points for Gryffindor."

Lockhart was very satisfied, Miss Know-it-all really lived up to her reputation.

"Everyone hears it. While it's not that dangerous, it's not that easy to catch either.

Next, everyone took turns to go to the center of the room to catch the bugs I released, and after catching them, put them in the cups I gave you to see who was the fastest.At the same time, in order to improve everyone's enthusiasm, I will set up a reward and punishment measure. The three people who catch the Billywig worm the fastest will be rewarded with a lot of sizzling bee candies. As for the slowest three people ..."

Speaking of this, Lockhart kept a secret, and he didn't reveal the answer until he saw the little wizards getting nervous again.

"...Don't be nervous, even the person with the worst grades, I will give them a candy, it's just a sad honey candy, and I have to eat it in front of my classmates."

Seeing that the children from wizarding families suddenly looked like they were facing a formidable enemy, Harry couldn't help asking.

"What is a heartworm?"

Ron clenched his hands tightly: "It's also a kind of bug, and its honey is very sweet."

"poisonous?"

"No, it's not poisonous, but it will bring tears to my eyes. Fred and George once gave me a piece of heartworm honey cake for my birthday. They said they stole it from the closet at home and told me not to tell it." Mom." Ron looked constipated, "It turned out that everyone was congratulating me on my birthday that day, but I kept crying and didn't dare to say...it was the worst birthday I've ever had."

Hearing how "cruel" the punishment was, Harry took a deep breath.

Fortunately, this class was taken with Ravenclaw. If it was taken with Slytherin, he would rather stay in school and work twice as much as cry in front of Draco Malfoy.

"Now, I need two students to come over and do a demonstration with me. It's best to have one from each college. Is there anyone willing to come forward?" Lockhart asked again.

Seeing that several people were eager to try but hesitated, Lockhart quickly added to the flames: "Of course, with me here, I won't make you dizzy. I'm just demonstrating one of the methods—I want to use the magic spell to accurately hit the flying target." It's a bit difficult for a small bug."

Lockhart's assurances seemed to work, and Ravenclaw's Terry Boot and Anthony Goldstein seemed willing to give it a try, but in the end it was the non-wizard Anthony who was more determined-because he didn't know the bug There's nothing scary about it.

The Gryffindor side was much more enthusiastic - not only boys, but even some girls raised their hands, wanting to help Professor Lockhart.

In the end, Lockhart came up with one—"Mr. Finnigan, it's up to you

He wanted to see how powerful the legendary explosive maniac was.

Seamus Finnigan didn't expect to be targeted, but he still happily came to Lockhart's side, while Hermione, Lavender and Parvati all looked disappointed

"Very good... Let's come over and learn your first spell in the second grade first. Say Ex-pul-s (Ex-pul-s) 7 with me, the accent is on the second sound!"

Txpuls! The whole class repeated in unison.

"Very well, let's look at my movements next - shake your wrist like this, keep your eyes fixed on the position you want to release, and then a little bit, recite the mantra quickly, use your lung capacity when making a plosive sound, and have a clear ending - Flying sand and rolling stones!"

As Lockhart clicked, a blue light appeared at the tip of the wand, which quickly sank into the air.

Then the air there visibly distorted, as if a balloon had been punctured, and a small explosion occurred.

The airflow brought by the explosion hit the faces of the students present, and the people who were hit by the airflow felt like they were in a car driving on the highway and suddenly stuck their heads out of the window.

Feeling the same, he immediately leaned back.

Lockhart had been prepared for a long time, so of course there was nothing unusual, but some of the unprepared students were unsteady and sat on the ground at that time.

With apology, Lockhart helped the fallen person up with the students around him: "As you can see, this is the effect of this spell. It can cause a small air explosion within a certain range, and the magic power consumed Very little, I almost oo"

At this moment, a mantra chanting sound suddenly came from behind him, interrupting his narration.

"Flying sand and rolling stones!" Seamus Finnigan pointed at the sky above the classroom.

Lockhart shivered, shrunk his head, lowered his center of gravity, and pointed his wand at the top of his head—he didn't even have time to recite the spell, so he had to use Mr. You Yan, who was less powerful.

"Silence and silence!"

It turned out that his reaction was necessary.

A loud noise as if a gas tank exploded just made the prelude, and they were strangled back as if someone was stuck in the neck. Only then did the second-year students avoid being sent to Madam Pomfrey because their eardrums were shattered What happens there.

While sound can be avoided, explosions cannot.This time, the number of people who fell in the classroom and those who were shot on the wall was four times that of before, and even the glass of the classroom was shattered by the blast.

"Hurry up, help the students up." Lockhart slowly stood up straight, and began to help the students who were slapped on the wall and on the ground one by one.

The little wizards stood up grinning, and all focused their attention on the chief culprit of this incident - Seamo Finnigan.

Seamus opened his hands in a panic, opening and closing his mouth to defend something, but he couldn't say anything.Unsure of the location of the explosion, Loja

The range of special silent spell is a little bigger.

Lockhart found out about the situation and immediately took the blame on himself.

"5 points for Gryffindor." He said, "This was my mistake. I obviously underestimated the magic power of the second-year students. And Mr. Finnigan used a very perfect, even unexpected, flying sand and stone, deserves to be rewarded.”

His words relieved Seamus, who was on tenterhooks, and then he found himself able to speak.

He thought he was so nervous that he lost his voice just now, but he didn't know that it was the reason why Lockhart had just lifted the Silencing Curse.

Lockhart didn't intend to punish Seamus, a 12-year-old little wizard, a simple little spell, these are nothing at all, but when combined, they exploded with amazing power, allowing a little wizard to use Flying sand and walking stones comparable to the power of elite Death Eaters, in a sense, this is also considered an amazing talent.

"The Explosive Maniac" lives up to its name.

"Although Mr. Finnigan's flying sand and rocks are really good, the power is obviously beyond the standard." Lockhart said regretfully, "If I don't want to receive an astronomical fine from the principal after class, I can only change it. An assistant...Mr. Potter, how about it?"

Chapter 22 Classroom Exercises

Harry hadn't expected Lockhart to call him, but now he had some expectation.

This class seems to be quite fun, there are neither boring books nor annoying nagging, even if there are occasional explosions, it is better than sitting at the table tinkering with potions

But instead of telling him what to do right away, Lockhart went to fix the window first.

"Restored!" Lockhart yelled through the window.

Shards of shattered glass fell from the window sill and landed on the window again.

If Lockhart were to choose the "most useful spell" in the wizarding world, he would definitely not choose the Killing Curse, Fiercefire Curse, or Imperius Curse, but this Repairing Curse.

As long as you know the initial state of a thing and keep most of the whole, the wizard can use this spell to restore it to its original appearance, and the magic power consumption is not too large, even housewives can use it, which brings great benefits to production. Come means more than any destructive spell.

If the future Musk knows that there is such a thing, he will definitely be willing to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to train wizards to learn rocket engineering and become astronauts.

It's a pity that it fell into the hands of the wizard.

He sighed softly, then turned to his classmates.

"I believe that after the demonstration by me and Mr. Finnigan, everyone already knows what kind of spell it is. It is a range-of-air spell that can disturb the air, and it needs a delay after chanting the spell. to work, and I can assure you that the spell will not hit the Billywigs."

"No hit." Several students asked back in unison.

Why would the professor teach himself if he couldn't hit it?

Lockhart nodded and admitted: "Yes, of course it missed, Billywig bug

The air is quite sensitive, as long as there is a slight disturbance, it will immediately stay away from this place.

However, if you can use flying sand and stones to make the billywig lose the space to escape, or force it not to fly around, then it will be much easier for you to hit it with a knockback spell or a freezing spell - as well as the spell have width.

And this is the first lesson I want to tell you—a duel, or spell confrontation, is never about holding a magic wand stupidly and swishing spells at each other, but a battle between the enemy and us against time, space, A comprehensive game of mental states, spells and magic...Mr. Potter! "

"Yes! Sir." Harry stepped forward quickly.

"I heard that you are the youngest Seeker in the history of Hogwarts. I think you must be very agile, right?"

"Uh...Although it may not be as exaggerated as the rumors say, since no one has raised any objections, so be it." Harry said nervously.

Lockhart: ... (Damn it, as expected of the savior, let him pretend!)

Makeup, then you are responsible for catching it. "Lockhart pointed to his box, "Later, I will join hands with Mr. Goldstein to use flying sand and rocks to force the Billywig bugs to the ground. You will be responsible for using the repelling spell or freezing spell Can you hit it? "

Harry tightened his grip on his wand: "I think I could try, sir, but..."

"But what?"

"Can you just grab it with your hands?" Harry asked again.

This answer was beyond Lockhart's expectations again, but a good teacher will always learn to teach students in accordance with their aptitude. He felt that he had to encourage students' autonomy, although he didn't think Harry could grab a 1.4 cm long, very flexible

bugs.

"Okay, but put on your gloves," said Lockhart.

After Harry put on the gloves, Lockhart lifted the buzzing beehive to the center of the classroom, letting the other students disperse to the side.

"Prteg Maxima" Lockhart pointed at the sky above the classroom and read again.

With a tap of his wand, a golden shield appeared out of thin air, covering the middle of the classroom like an eggshell.

Lockhart inspected the shield he had made and was very satisfied.

This spell was one of the three protections that Flitwick imposed on Hogwarts in the final Battle of Hogwarts.

The defensive cover of "PrtegMaxima", the reinforcement of "FiantDuri" J5, and the repelling of "Repelling the Enemy (RepellInimicum), if the attacker is not Voldemort, probably this layer of defense alone can make the food The dead were helpless.

When Lockhart practiced spells in the basement of his home, he spent a lot of effort in practicing them. It took him more than a month to learn one of the three most powerful defensive spells. The purpose was to pretend to use them in front of the students.

Since the practice time is still short, it is impossible for him to cast a defensive shield covering the entire Hogwarts like Professor Flitwick, and the protective ability is far from it, and it may be slightly stronger. Five or six spells are about to be broken, but it is definitely enough to scare the little wizards in the sixth and seventh grades.

It's a pity that Harry and the others are only in the second grade now, so they probably don't know how difficult this spell is, and Lockhart has to appreciate it.

…No, at least from the big mouths of Hermione and Teri Boot, the two of them knew how difficult the spell was.

The Bouts are a wizarding family with a long history, so Terry knows it's okay

Normal, but Hermione is all about knowledge and knowledge.

"Okay, don't worry about it flying away now, Mr. Potter, Mr. Goldstein, get ready!" Lockhart shouted angrily.

Both Harry and Anthony quickly raised their wands.

Lockhart opened a partition in the box, and released a small blue flying insect from each ear.

Seeing the light and fresh air outside, the Billywig immediately turned into a blue light, jumped out from the small room where it was imprisoned, and after turning around, buzzed and ran towards the window.

It's a pity that although Lockhart's protective shield doesn't seem to have any sense of existence, it is a genuine legendary spell. If a bug wants to fly out of it, it would be too underestimating the word "legendary".

So it didn't fly very far before bumping into the golden shield, and couldn't get out no matter what, just like flies bumping against the glass window.

Seeing this, Lockhart quickly patted Anthony beside him: "Mr. Goldstein
