Chapter 157: The Division Of Power Among Pure-Blood Families. Let Me Check My Body.
In the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, Hermione looked at Wayne with disbelief.
what happened.
Doesn't this guy hate Lockhart? Why can he still get praise for the paper he wrote?
Wayne winked quietly and took hold of Hermione's penis.
On the podium, Lockhart was very happy. He read Wayne's homework aloud, and added his own explanation when he got to the exciting points.
"Yes, I was using human body transformation at that time, which is a very difficult magic, but for me, difficult magic is as simple as eating and drinking.
"Vampires have a good relationship with me now because they are afraid of me
After hearing the rest, Wayne himself couldn't listen anymore.
What Tom wrote is too disgusting.
"You definitely didn't write this!" Hermione crossed her arms, goosebumps rising on her body.
She was sure Wayne had someone ghostwrite the paper.
I have never said such disgusting words to her!
Must be some ardent Lockhart fan.
Wayne didn't refute, and now everyone except Lockhart, who was still immersed in his own world, could guess that he didn't write it.
The little witch asked who it was, and Wayne said it was Palu.
Hermione thought about it for a long time, but she didn't expect that there was only one person in the school named Palu.
After a few minutes, Lockhart finished reading and announced loudly;
"I would like to add twenty points to Hufflepuff! To reward Mr. Lawrence for his frankness and honesty. Only the me he writes is closest to the real me."
"Professor." Wayne stood up: "No need for extra points."
"Why?" Lockhart looked at him strangely.
Wayne didn't say anything, just showed a bitter smile, and everyone didn't know why.
Why don't you want the extra points for free?
Lockhart saw that Wayne didn't want to talk, so he stopped asking questions and started the class's drama performance.
Several students were roped in to play werewolves and trolls, as well as injured villagers.
Wayne also couldn't figure out where the problem with Lockhart's documentation came from.
There is no doubt that he is a master of the Forgetting Curse, which means that he is not without the ability to learn magic.
He could also use a random spell to remove an entire arm of Harry's bones, which showed that his magic power was not weak.
But why can’t other spells be used at all?
With such poor performance, how did he pass the graduation exam in the first place.
After class, Lockhart left Wayne alone and asked curiously:
"Mr. Lawrence, why did you stop me from adding points to Hufflepuff just now?"
Wayne entered actor mode: "Professor, there's nothing I can do..."
"Professor Snape already hates you and me. If you give me extra points, he won't be able to do anything to you, but I will be miserable.
Lockhart looked confused and said, 'Snape? He is indeed difficult to get in touch with, but he shouldn't hate me either. ’
"Because..." Wayne pointed meaningfully at the Medal of Merlin pinned to Lockhart's chest.
"We are the same kind of people."
"Professor Snape applies for the Order of Merlin every year, but has not been approved."
"Professor, you are much better than him. You have successfully obtained the medal. Naturally, he will be hostile to you."
Lockhart immediately smiled: "Ha, excellent people will always be subject to various prejudices. I understand what you mean, Mr. Lawrence."
"But why should we, two recipients of the Order of Merlin, be afraid of him?" Lockhart said angrily: "Fifty points for Hufflepuff, I said so.
"If Snape deducts your points, you will be a professor if you come to me again. I also have this right."
Wayne looked at him with admiration: "As expected of Professor Lockhart, who has won the "Wizard Weekly" Most Charming Smile Award five times!"
"I believe you can suppress Snape's arrogance!"
Lockhart laughed even louder and repeatedly praised Wayne for his vision.
Snape, who was reading ancient books in the office, couldn't help but shudder.
It seemed as if something dirty was staring at me.
"Did someone put a curse on me?" Snape's face was uncertain, but just to be on the safe side, he drank a bottle of anti-curse potion.
At noon, Snape felt something was wrong when he arrived at the auditorium.
Turning his head, Tuhart was looking at him with pity.
The two looked at each other, and Lockhart deliberately raised his chest so that the Medal of Merlin on his chest shone brightly in the candlelight.
Snape's face darkened.
Crazy, are you showing off to him?
The Order of Merlin was indeed a pet peeve of his.
On the long table at Hufflepuff, Wayne, who had been quietly observing the situation at the guest of honor seat, almost smiled.
Sure enough, even a waste has its uses.
If Snape wasn't targeting Hufflepuff, he would also bring in a professor to add points.
Dean Sprout is too qualified to be Snape's opponent, and Lockhart is just right.
Sure enough, in the next few days.
No matter how many points Snape deducted from Hufflepuff, as long as Wayne went to Lockhart and told him, he would add them back for various reasons.
As a result, Hufflepuff's score column went up and down like a roller coaster.
Snape also discovered that it was Lockhart who was working against him. The two of them seemed to be competing with each other, making them choke on each meal.
Every time Lockhart would intentionally or unintentionally use the Order of Merlin to disgust Snape.
The inexplicable smell of gunpowder between the two left many professors scratching their heads, but they had no intention of intervening.
To be honest, neither of them are very popular.
One is an eerie old bat, and the other is a swaggering peacock.
Just let them pinch it.
It's Saturday.
Astoria left the dormitory very early with excitement.
After waiting in the auditorium for a short while, Wayne appeared with his two roommates.
Astoria immediately ran over and smiled sweetly at Wayne.
Toby and Norman looked at each other.
Sure enough, Wayne really picked the most beautiful one in each grade.
Although this new student of Slytherin is a little thin, his delicate facial features and emerald green pupils are impeccable. He is definitely a beauty.
Envy, no, damn it...
The two ordered a glass of lemonade and walked away from Wayne in silence.
"Why, you're so excited." Wayne picked up a few sausages and bacon, and ordered another steamed egg.
"That's a unicorn!" Astoria's eyes sparkled: "I like to hear unicorn stories the most."
The girl held her heart in her hands and said with admiration: "They are the purest creatures and can purify all evil and curses.
Wayne's eating movements paused slightly.
Is this the original reason?
He suddenly laughed: "If we talk about evil, you pure-blood families are the most evil, after all, there are a lot of dark wizards.
"The Greengrass family is different from them." Astoria Qiong wrinkled her nose slightly: "There are very few dark wizards in our family. We are completely different from the Malfoy family and the Black family."
Wayne nodded: "I believe that."
In pure-blood families, they are actually divided into three different factions, because the family is not monolithic.
The most powerful and mainstream faction is the conservative pure-blood aristocracy.
Representing the family...the group of wizards who followed Voldemort.
Malfoy, Nott, Rohr, Rosier, Yaxli, etc.
They pursue blood supremacy and despise any wizards of mixed blood and Muggle origin.
This type of people is also the most numerous. The original wizarding world was pure blood. When there are more and more mixed-blood and Muggle-born wizards, the interests of the old nobles will naturally be violated.
Opposing them are the radicals.
Far from being hostile to Muggle families, these families are very close to them. They believe that everyone is the same and should not be treated differently.
For example, the Weasley family, the Longbottom family, the Bones family, and the Potter family.
To put it simply, it is actually the confrontation between the Order of the Phoenix and the Death Eaters.
The least numerous and usually the most low-key are the neutrals.
Most of them support the concept of pure-blood supremacy, but they are not as extreme as conservatives. They are extremely hostile to mixed-blood wizards and do not advocate the persecution of Muggles.
Such as the Greengrass family, the MacMillan family, and the Ollivander family.
They are the representatives.
Neither Voldemort nor Dumbledore.
Rely on your own heritage and style of conduct to live your own life quietly, as long as it can be passed down.
"Have you eaten? Do you want to eat some together?"
As Astoria looked at him eagerly, Wayne tasted strange, so he asked.
The girl shook her head: "I took medicine this morning and don't want to eat anything.
"How many lollipops did you eat?"
"One pill a day, you won't let me eat more..."
"OK."
When chatting with Astoria, Wayne always unconsciously assumes the identity of his older brother.
Maybe this little loli is too good, following him around like a little tail.
After eating, Wayne walked in front of him, and Astoria followed him with her head lowered, always keeping a distance of three steps.
He first went to Hermione and Qiu and asked them if they wanted to go together.
But no one agreed.
Hermione was going to the Room of Requirement to practice spells, and she was going to train with the Ravenclaw team members.
In the end it was the Forbidden Forest that they both went to.
But when passing by the cabin, Wayne suddenly stopped. He hadn't seen Hagrid since school started.
I'm passing by here, so I can go say hello and grow some wool.
"Ya Ya, is Hagrid here?"
The hound Yaya barked twice, rushed over and rubbed his trouser legs. Wayne nodded and then knocked on the door.
Soon, the hybrid giant opened the door, with a smile on his rough face.
"Wayne, you're here."
"I haven't seen you much since school started. What have you been busy with recently?" Wayne walked into the cabin in a familiar manner.
Astoria hesitated for two seconds and followed him.
‘Who is this?’ Hagrid looked at the little girl who kept her head lowered.
"My client."
"Oh." Hagrid nodded, worked for a while, and brought hot tea and toffee to the two of them.
"This smell... something is burnt?" Wayne asked with a frown instead of drinking tea.
Hagrid scratched his head in embarrassment: “I raised some fire crabs, some of them were not very honest and almost burned down the house.
Fire crab....
Wayne thought of something, walked around the room, and took out two bottles of potion from the fireplace.
Hagrid's expression changed immediately and she looked at him nervously.
"Tsk... Q-stimulant." Wayne finally knew what Hagrid was doing.
This opens the road to becoming a hybrid master.
"Wayne" Hagrid quickly walked over and wanted to defend himself.
"Calm down, the "Prohibition of Animal Breeding Experiments" law is not jealous.
Hagrid's face turned pale, and he was extremely shocked.
It's so accurate...
"I'll keep an eye on it." Hagrid begged: "Don't tell anyone else, especially Harry and Ronald.
"They are not as strict as me, especially Ronald. If he knows, it means the whole magical world knows."
Astoria blinked her big eyes, not understanding what the two of them were saying.
Wayne looked at him speechlessly.
Are you strict?
In the last school year, you were simply an NPC who issued tasks, leading Harry Colame's clues and the Philosopher's Stone step by step.
The most ridiculous thing is that Hagrid really didn't do it on purpose, it was very natural.
Wayne stretched out his hand: "Hush money.
Seeing how direct he was, Hagrid breathed a sigh of relief: "What do you want?"
"You have a lot of gems on the fire crab, give them all to me."
"No problem, give me some time to knock them down, and you can come and get them in the afternoon."
Fire crabs are 2X-level protected animals. Although they are called crabs, they look like giant sea turtles, with their shells studded with jewels.
Although the quality is not too high, it is more than enough for home decoration.
Wayne was not satisfied yet and made a long list of materials, basically all of which were found in the Forbidden Forest.
For Hagrid it was just a matter of effort.
Putting away the list, Hagrid glanced at Astoria, who had been silent since entering the room, hesitated for a moment and then said:
"Aragog asked me to ask you 990 for mercy. Can...can you let them go?"
"Oh?" Wayne raised his eyebrows, this old spider actually dared to complain.
And you think telling Hagrid would be useful?
"What did it tell you?" Wayne asked first without being in a hurry.
When Hagrid finished telling the version he heard, Wayne laughed.
This old boy removed the part where he actively attacked himself.
Only a character like Hagrid would believe it.
He didn't bother to expose it and said directly: "I can only say that I understand everything. If you don't understand, I can't tell you. Just pretend you don't know.
"There are too many interests involved, and the water inside is very deep. Knowing too much will not do you any good, so be it."
Hagrid's eyes were dizzy.
A bunch of words are very simple, but what do they mean when connected together?
"Wayne, did you agree or not?"
"Of course I didn't agree." Wayne looked at him with disdain: "Newt was the one who went with me last time, and he also took a lot of Acromantula venom."
“As for where the others went, I don’t ask.
Hagrid was excited, thinking that he had touched some great secret, and nodded repeatedly.
But he still couldn't help but begged: "Then please don't hurt Aragog, he has never eaten anyone.
Yes, Aragog doesn't have it, but where are his descendants?
Wayne did not respond directly. Anyway, these spiders will still be alive before he graduates.
I will take them all away after graduation, which can be regarded as getting rid of a scourge for the Forbidden Forest.
After sitting for a while, Wayne took Astoria out of the cabin, holding a small bag of gems when he came out.
Most of the gemstones are red, but there are also some other colors.
Jerry jumped out of his pocket with a swish, got into the pile of gems and plucked them frantically.
"Sniff, sniff!" Astoria stepped on her feet and stretched her head to look.
"So cute!" Looking at Jerry's plump body and long mouth, Astoria asked expectantly: "Can I touch him?"
"Leave it to you." Wayne handed over the sniffing belt gem along with it.
Astoria happily took it, and the two walked toward the Forbidden Forest.
But after a while, the girl was so tired that she was out of breath and couldn't walk.
Seeing that her body was so weak, Wayne was helpless.
He could only summon Gardevoir and let her apparate with the two of them to the unicorn's residence.
"Three, three unicorns!" Astoria's eyes widened and she looked at the three little unicorns surrounding her in surprise.
She originally thought it was just Lulu, but she didn't expect Wayne to stop raising the other two.
The girl was so happy that she almost fainted.
Just as she cautiously reached out her hand to touch the youngest Diana, she was grabbed by Wayne.
"You want to regret it?" The girl looked at him in shock, feeling extremely wronged in her heart.
Wayne said calmly: "No, I just want to add another condition."
"What conditions?"
"I want to check on you."
Astoria's fair and pretty face suddenly turned red. .
