The next day, the first lesson for the second-year students was Defense Against Dark Magic.
Although Lockhart's lesson yesterday had almost become a joke, it didn't stop the girls from admiring him. For example, Hermione. She stubbornly believed that Lockhart had purposely released the little elf to increase the chances for everyone to practice.
So when Elwyn rushed to the Defense Against Dark Magic classroom and saw all the girls sitting in the front row, he wasn't surprised at all.
After all the students were seated, Lockhart walked into the classroom, looking as radiant as ever.
"Hello, everyone. I think you all know who I am!" He blinked and revealed eight pearly white teeth. "Gidrol Lockhart, third-class medal of Sir Merlin, honorary member of the Anti-Dark Magic Alliance, winner of Wizard Weekly's Most Charming Smile Award five times, but I never talk about it. I don't rely on my smile to exorcise the ghosts of Wanlun!"
It was a very cliché opening line. Elwyn was sure that he had said the same thing yesterday.
"Very good. I see that you've all bought my complete set of books. I think we'll start with a little quiz today. Perhaps you've already heard some information from the senior students, but I regret to tell you that today's questions are completely different from yesterday's." He handed the test papers to everyone. "I'll give you 30 minutes. Start now!"
Elwyn looked at the test paper in his hand. It included Gidrol Lockhart's favorite food, Gidrol Lockhart's greatest wish, Gidrol Lockhart's greatest achievement to date, and so on. There were more than 50 questions.
Elwyn held his forehead helplessly. In fact, he didn't even know the answer to a single question. He hadn't bought Lockhart's books at all.
But this wasn't important. He bit on his quill and thought for a while before starting to write on the test paper. He planned to tell Lockhart about the Hogwarts Magic Newspaper and invite him to be the long-term advertising target for the 'People's Charm' segment. Of course, Elwyn described this with the tone of an admirer.
On the test paper in his hand, he tried his best to describe himself as a fanatical admirer of Lockhart.
Although Elwyn wasn't one, it was very simple because he had many people around him who could be used as a reference.
He tried his best to imitate Hermione's tone. In his description, the Hogwarts Magic News was a newspaper specially made for Lockhart. Elwyn planned to use this newspaper to show Lockhart's fans his photos and daily life as a teacher at Hogwarts, helping him further expand his influence.
Elwyn spent a lot of time describing the benefits of doing this. By the time he finished writing the letter, which was full of exaggerated compliments, thirty minutes had passed.
Then, Lockhart collected the papers and flipped through them in front of the whole class.
"Tsk tsk, I'm very disappointed. Yes, none of you wrote down everything about me like Miss Granger did in the second grade. If you read the book 'A Year with the Tibetan Yeti' carefully, you'll know what my favorite food is, and I've clearly mentioned it in the fourth chapter of 'Swimming with Ghouls'."
Lockhart quickly flipped through the parchment in his hand until he saw Elwyn's.
"Wait, there's an interesting test here." "That's right, this is exactly what I've always wanted to do, to further expand my influence and become the most worshipped wizard. Well said!" He looked at it attentively and murmured, "That's right, this is what I've always wanted to do, to further expand my influence and become the most worshipped wizard. Well said!"
In the classroom, all the students looked at him curiously.
No one knew what Lockhart was mumbling about. Viktor Robichet, Elwyn's roommate, a handsome boy, stretched his neck, trying to see the contents of the test.
"Yes, I do!" Lockhart suddenly flipped the paper over, "100 points! Where's Mr. Elwyn Mason? "
Elwyn stood up hurriedly, and everyone's gaze turned to him.
"That's great, Elwyn! I'm very willing to share my story with my most loyal fans, "Lockhart said with a smile," Very good, give Gryffindor ten points! "
When Elwyn sat back down, Corin whispered, "Elwyn, that's unbelievable, what did you write on it?"
"Nothing much, I just invited him to provide us with a few photos. Prepare your camera, Corin," Elwyn said with a smile, "We'll start taking photos after class, we don't have much time."
Other than the interlude at the beginning, the rest of the class was relatively boring.
The Defense Against Dark Magic class almost became a reading class. Lockhart asked the students to stand up and read his works in turn. Just when everyone was getting bored, it was time for class to end. All the students left the classroom as fast as they could, except for Elwyn, who dragged Corin, who was still in a daze, to the front of the podium.
Lockhart praised Elwyn greatly, and said that if there were any problems in the preparation of the newspaper, he could help at any time.
When he found out that the novel section hadn't received any manuscripts so far, Lockhart even expressed that he was willing to publish his unpublished manuscript for serialization.
After that, Lockhart kept posing for Corin to take photos.
Elwyn was surprised to find that no matter the angle, Lockhart was able to reveal his eight charming teeth perfectly.
Just this alone made Elwyn very impressed.
Due to time constraints, after taking more than ten photos, Elwyn and Corin had no choice but to leave. Lockhart still hadn't had enough, so he invited the two of them to continue taking photos in his office after dinner.
Due to Lockhart's enthusiasm, they were a whole five minutes late. When Elwyn found out from Corin that the next class was Transfiguration, his heart sank.
Professor Meg was different from other professors. She was strict and smart. All the freshmen had been warned not to provoke her and Professor Snape in school, because doing so would usually lead to terrible consequences.
Now, they actually dared to be late for the first class. Elwyn didn't dare to think about it any further. When the two of them ran to the Transfiguration classroom, they saw a strangely dressed Ravenclaw girl standing outside the door.
The girl had messy, dirty, waist-length blonde hair. Her eyebrows were very light, and her eyes were protruding out, giving her a shocked expression. She wore a pair of radish earrings, and a necklace made of cork from buttered beer hung on her chest. She exuded a kind of craziness.
"What are you doing? It's time for class!" Corin asked uncertainly.
"I'm looking for traces left by the bubblenose monster," the girl said absentmindedly. Her eyes stopped at the empty space outside the Transfiguration classroom.
"Sorry, what are you looking for?"
"The bubblenose monster," the girl raised her head and stared at Elwyn. "You're Elwyn Mason."
"Yes, it's me. Who are you?"
"Luna Lovegood," she turned her pale eyes to Corin. "I don't know who you are."
Before Corin could answer, the classroom door was opened from the inside. Professor Meg looked at the three of them with a serious face.
"Mr. Mason, Mr. Creevey, and Miss Lovegood, it's time for class. You're late!" She pursed her lips tightly. "If you don't want to come in, then don't ever come in again."
Elwyn and Corin hurriedly bowed their heads and entered the classroom. Luna followed and sat next to them.
"It's really bad luck to meet Luna." Corin whispered. "She's a freshman in Ravenclaw. Everyone calls her crazy girl. I heard that she actually believes in the existence of the bubblenose monster and the snoring beast."
"But they really exist," Luna suddenly interrupted.
"How could it be? They're just fictitious."
"Keep your voice down, Corin!" Elwyn poked him. "Don't express your opinion on things you don't know."
"Very wise choice." Luna whispered in a sing-song tone, "Extraordinary intelligence is the greatest wealth of mankind."
Corin wanted to say something, but when he saw Professor Meg glaring at him, he quickly closed his mouth.
"Shapeshifting is the most complicated and dangerous spell in the Hogwarts course. If anyone wants to make trouble in my class, then I don't want to see him in the next class. I've warned you."
After that, Professor Meg turned her desk into a pig and then changed it back again.
The students were all fascinated. They couldn't wait to start learning, but they soon understood that it would take a long time to turn furniture into animals.
After everyone wrote down a lot of complex notes, Professor Meg gave each of them a match and began to let them try to turn it into a needle.
For new wizards, it was very difficult to do this. They couldn't even make the match change in any way. Until the end of the class, Elwyn turned the match into a needle, but he was still the fastest student in the class.
