Allen actually admired the liar in front of him! He really knew how to find a way out of this embarrassing situation. If he wasn't born to flaunt, with such a thick skin, becoming a cunning politician would not be a bad idea!
"I see that all of you have bought my complete set of books — very good. I think we will do a quiz today. Don't be afraid — I just want to see how well you have read and how much you have understood … "
Gidro finished handing out the papers and returned to the podium, saying, "I will give you thirty minutes. Now — begin! "
Allen looked at the papers. What did these questions have to do with Defense Against Black Magic?
1. Gidro? What is Lockhart's favorite color?
2. Gidro? What is Lockhart's secret ambition?
3. What do you think of Gidro? What is Lockhart's greatest achievement so far?
And so on. After three pages of papers, the last question was:
54. Gidro? When is Lockhart's birthday? What is his ideal birthday present?
Half an hour later, Lockhart collected the papers and flipped through them in front of the whole class.
"Tsk, tsk — almost no one remembers that my favorite color is lilac. I mentioned it in 'A Year with the Tibetan Snowman'. There are a few students who want to read Wandering with the Werewolf carefully. In Chapter 12, I clearly state that my ideal birthday present is for all magicians and non-magicians to live in harmony. But I wouldn't say no to a big bottle of Ogden Old Flame whisky! "
He winked mischievously at them again. But his image just now was too deep in the students' minds, and many of the boys laughed out loud.
At this time, Allen raised his hand. "Ah, I remember you, the outstanding student Allen Harris, my fan! Let me see your paper. "Gidro saw Allen and flipped through Allen's paper. "Full marks, Allen answered all my questions correctly! Excellent! "Lockhart said with a smile," Very good! Add 10 points to Ravenclaw! "
In fact, Allen was just not used to leaving all his test papers empty. Moreover, he did not want to fall out with Gidro so quickly. After all, the other party was a professor. It would not be fun if he was on guard!
Allen put on a respectful expression and felt that he should be awarded an Oscar. "Professor, speaking of the snowman, no one has been able to get close to it, except for you!"
Gidro enjoyed this kind of compliment very much. The boys of Ravenclaw looked at Allen in disbelief. If they hadn't heard it with their own ears, it would have been hard to imagine that such words came from the mouth of the recognized wise man, Allen.
"Of course, I can have close contact with it. It's very friendly to me." Gidro looked at Allen affectionately.
"In that case, you lived with the snowman for a year. How did you avoid being eaten by it? What is it afraid of? "Allen bluntly pointed out the problem.
Many of the intelligent Ravenclaw saw the problem and looked at Gidro suspiciously. Professor Lockhart.
One must know that the snowman was recognized as a four-star magical creature by the Ministry of Magic. It was an animal native to Tibet. People believed that there was a certain connection between it and the monster, but no one had been able to get close to this animal to carry out the necessary tests. The snowman was up to 15 feet tall and was covered in pure white hair from head to toe. The most important thing was that when it walked, anything that strayed from its group would be swallowed by it. The snowman was afraid of fire. A wizard with the ability might be able to drive it away, but to have close contact with it for a year, other than Lockhart's own description, no wizard had ever been able to do it.
Professor Lockhart was obviously stumped by Allen's question. "This … Hmm … Perhaps you have to find the answer in the books. The library and the sports field should be your best friends for life. Now, back to the topic … "
He bent over and took out a large cage covered with a cloth from behind the podium and put it on the table.
"Now — be careful! My task is to teach you how to resist the evilest thing known to the magic world! You will face the most terrifying thing in this classroom. But remember, as long as I am here, no harm will come to you. All I ask is that you remain calm. "
Many students poked their heads out from behind the tall books and leaned forward in anticipation. A small number of students shrank back in fear.
"I must ask you not to scream," Lockhart said in a low voice. "That will provoke them!"
The whole class held their breaths. Lockhart lifted the cover.
"Yes," he said, as if he were acting. "Just caught Cornish Fairies!"
There was an uproar in the classroom. Many Ravenclaw looked disapproving. These things were not even magical creatures. They could not see what was so terrifying about them!
These Fairies were livid, about eight inches tall, with small pointed faces and very shrill voices, like a lot of budgerigars quarreling. As soon as the cover was lifted, they began to chatter, jump up and down, shake the cage, and make all kinds of strange faces at the people near them.
"Well," Lockhart said loudly, "let's see how you deal with them!" He opened the cage door.
Allen immediately cast a Confusion Spell on the group. The Cornish Fairies froze for a moment, and then turned their bodies to Gidro Lockhart. Lockhart screamed and pounced forward. There were also some little elves who very cunningly grabbed ink bottles and threw them at Gidro, picking up books and throwing them at Gidro. They tore their clothes, pulled their hair, pulled their ears …
Gidro Lockhart? Professor Lockhart was very embarrassed. He bared his fangs and brandished his claws, waving his wand wildly shouting, "Pescipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipisternomi!"
It was all to no avail. One of the Fairies grabbed Lockhart's wand and threw it out of the window.
Lockhart took a deep breath and ran out of the door, not forgetting to say, "It's time to test you. Catch these Fairies and put them back in the cage!"
He slammed the door shut, and a few of the Fairies luckily slipped out and chased after Gidro Lockhart. The rest of the Fairies began to hit the door with all their might.
The students who had pulled Ravenclaw looked at each other. They were smart enough to realize that Gidro Lockhart was not as good as he seemed. Lockhart might not be as outstanding as what was written in his book. He seemed to be very ignorant and incompetent!
Now the problem in front of Ravenclaw was how to catch these irritable Fairies. With Professor Lockhart's example in front of them, no one wanted to be unlucky.
Alan slowly got up and pulled out his magic wand. "Quick Freeze". The little elves were all frozen and fell to the ground with a plop. The students of Ravenclaw looked at Allen with admiration. The Cornish Fairies who had made Professor Lockhart so embarrassed and helpless, and could only run away in exhaustion, were so weak in front of Allen! Allen was much better than Professor Lockhart!
