Chapter 204: Red Umbrella, White Pole, Eat and Sleep Together
During the Christmas holidays, there were not a few wizards who attended the funeral of Zabini's father.
The house elf named Sasia served the plate at the funeral... Many students recognized her.
The next day, the little wizards were all talking about it.
Mrs. Sabine, the mother of Brace's classmate, is a witch who is famous for her beauty, keff and wealth.
This is a title of a progressive relationship, relying on beauty to attract wizards to marry, and then triggering Kefu's passive, to get a lot of wealth... a cycle of cycles.
She cycled six times and died six husbands... Of course, classmate Blaise Chabini also died six dads and held six funerals, five of which were stepfathers.
Thanks to the "gram" attribute, many wizards compared Mrs. Sabiny with Defense Against the Dark Arts, and called them two "dangerous" jobs.
In short, bless your enemies... Madame Sabiny for marriage, Defense Against the Dark Arts for work, sure is the worst curse ever.
And Lockhart is accompanied by the house elf of the Zabini family, which seems to imply that he will become Blaise's seventh father.
So, in the first class of the school year, Defense Against the Dark Arts was full again, even those students who missed half a term of class came.
That's right, it's Rove!
Shirley was reading a book, she glanced at the boy beside her, and said softly, "Why are you coming to class?"
"Come and see what's happening." Rove laughed and said, "Everyone is talking about Mrs. Sabini. With Lockhart's personality that loves to show off, if it is true, he will definitely mention it in class."
Shirley stared at Rove's side face, slightly frowned and said: "
"Rove, there is one thing I don't understand. Since six husbands have died, why would anyone dare to marry Mrs. Sabini?"
"Beautiful, Mrs. Sabini is very beautiful." Rove hurriedly added: "I heard what Neville said! Is it Neville?"
Neville was chatting with Hannah, but he didn't hear what Rove said. When he saw the boy stab himself with an elbow, he nodded in agreement:
"Yeah!"
Hannah had good ears, she heard everything clearly, and looked at Neville with strange eyes... She looked honest and honest, but behind her back, she talked about other people's mothers every day, right?
Hey, really down!
"So, the wizard will marry the witch just because she is beautiful?" Shirley asked again.
"Some people are like this, but not everyone. Personality, hobbies, lifestyle... there are so many factors."
Rove asked strangely, "Why did you suddenly ask this?"
"It's nothing, it's just a few classmates in our dormitory who have been discussing this last night." Shirley tilted her head and smiled softly: "I'm a little curious."
The topics discussed in the girls' dormitory were actually quite exciting, and even a guy who didn't know anything about her had been given a little bit of knowledge.
Occasionally, she would blush when she heard their large-scale chat.
"Then what kind of witch do you like?" Shirley stared into the boy's eyes, and she hurriedly added:
"I asked the students in the dormitory, and they were very curious."
"I refuse to answer such a boring question." Rove smiled, and gently tugged at the girl's ponytail: "Don't learn from your roommates."
Shirley glared, but it was harmless.
At this moment, Lockhart walked into the classroom. He was wearing a navy blue robe and a green top hat with a gold rim on his blond hair.
Behind Lockhart was a house-elf who was dressed in rags and was holding a stack of books. There were so many books that she staggered when she entered the door and nearly dropped them.
"Children," said Lockhart loudly, waving everyone to silence:
"After a long Christmas break, I'm back at Hogwarts again... On this long-awaited day, I would like to announce a small matter, which I have held back for some time and have not spoken to reporters and Book fans announced."
Everyone thought that Lockhart was going to announce his marriage to Mrs. Sabine, but he turned around, knocked on the stack of books in the house elf's hand, and said:
"That's when my new book "Fighting the Curse" is about to be released. It's a novella I finished during the Christmas break."
"This book tells the story of how I used magic to help a witch who had lost six husbands to get rid of a curse."
"Professor, is it related to Mrs. Chabini?" Justin hurriedly raised his hand.
Lockhart smiled mysteriously: "Then you have to read this book by yourself. I can only say that it does involve the beautiful Sabine."
"Professor, what's the relationship between you two?" Susan asked boldly.
"Mrs. Chabini is a big fan of mine. Her poor husband just died. I helped her with some troubles."
Lockhart pointed at the house elf Shacia behind him, and said with a smile, "She even gave me a house elf to protect me at Hogwarts."
"When this semester is over, the two of us have plans to travel to France, and I'm afraid I won't be able to spare time then."
Lockhart was eloquent there, telling the story of himself and Zabini. He hinted inside and outside the words that the new book was related to this beautiful lady who killed her husband. The core idea was two words:
buy books!
Why did Lockhart come back? To sell books, of course.
Why did he dare to come back? With the protection of a house elf, he doesn't believe that something will happen to him!
...
...
After class, everyone was still discussing this matter enthusiastically on the way to the herbal medicine class.
Obviously, Lockhart's marketing is effective, and many students are eager to buy a copy to read the content.
However, more students believe that this may be Lockhart's last book.
With the double buff of Defense Against the Dark Arts and Mrs. Sabine, it would be impolite not to die.
Everyone walked through the wet vegetable field and came to the third greenhouse.
Professor Sprout stood next to a huge mushroom, which was more than three meters high, like a big tree.
She clapped her hands, calmed down the students, and said quickly:
"In this lesson, we will learn a kind of toadstool that can jump, but before that, I want to teach you a song and sing along with me."
"Red umbrellas, white poles, eating and sleeping together, sleeping in coffins, and then buried together..."
All the students sang along, and Professor Sprout asked, "Can anyone tell me what this song means?"
Hermione immediately raised her hand and said, "The bright mushrooms with red umbrellas and white stems are poisonous mushrooms, and the brighter they are, the more poisonous they are."
"Yes, five points from Gryffindor." Professor Sprout said, "But although this song is widely circulated, it is actually wrong, or not absolutely."
"Like hallucinogenic mushrooms, which are red umbrellas and white stems, but after eating, they will only cause hallucinations and will not cause death. There is also a poisonous red mushroom that will only cause diarrhea after eating."
"Everyone remember!" Professor Sprout said loudly:
"The most poisonous mushrooms that you can come into contact with and will kill you after eating are mainly gray umbrellas and white stems, or white umbrellas and white stems.
For example, Amanita grinobilis, if you eat a small branch, you will die..."
All the students are scrambling to start taking notes.
