Chapter 277: It's wrong to copy homework
Chapter 277 It’s wrong to copy homework
Cedric’s encounter gave Kyle and Connor a slight resistance to the upcoming Defense Against the Dark Arts.
But there is no way, this is a basic course, they have to go no matter what.
In the afternoon, the two of them slowly arrived at the classroom designated by Lockhart...
The walls here are already covered with large photos of Lockhart and his various achievements.
In the photo, Lockhart’s shiny white teeth flashed like searchlights.
Compared to a classroom, this place is more like a press conference...
Kyle and Kangna arrived slowly. When they arrived, the room was already full of students, leaving only a few empty tables in the last row.
After the two of them walked over and sat down, the bell for class just rang.
Lockhart cleared his throat loudly to silence everyone.
He reached for a Gryffindor student's copy of "Traveling with Vampires" and held it in his hand, showing the photo of himself winking on the cover.
"I…"
He pointed to the photo and then to himself.
"Gilderoy Lockhart, recipient of the Order of Merlin, honorary member of the Defense League against Dark Arts, five-time winner of Wizarding Weekly's Most Charming Smile Award... But I don't talk about it, I don't rely on my smile to make vampires Be friendly with me.”
Lockhart raised the book again, making a winking motion that was exactly the same as the cover.
“Is it true that he was awarded the Order of Merlin just like you?”
Kanna frowned.
"Why do I feel so unreliable...and what is the Defense Against the Dark Arts Alliance?"
“An organization that was once famous.”
Kyle whispered: "The legendary Auror of the Ministry of Magic, Alastor Moody, and Barty Crouch, the current Director of the Department of International Magical Cooperation, were once members of the Defense League against the Dark Arts. But..."
Kyle changed the topic and continued: "More than ten years ago, when Harry Potter became the savior, this organization began to decline."
“What they did gradually changed from resisting black magic to partying and socializing. A few years ago, they even admitted a suspected Death Eater because he donated a large amount of money.”
“So from that point on, some of the big-name members, like Alastor Moody and Barty Crouch, quit.”
“After that, the value of the Dark Arts Defense Alliance also plummeted, and it was left far behind by the Extraordinary Apothecary Association that was once equally famous with it.”
"I know this!"
Connor's eyes lit up, "Professor Snape is a member of the Association of Extraordinary Apothecaries, and he also wants me to join."
"This is not easy." Kyle said with a smile: "The examination of the Association of Extraordinary Pharmacists is very strict. Only those who can brew the Felixir before the age of thirty are eligible to receive admission tickets."
“I know, but thirty is still early, and we still have a lot of time, don’t we?”
“Us?” Kyle raised his eyebrows, “Did you count me in?”
“Don’t you want to join?”
"You can give it a try, it's just a magical elixir..." Kyle said with a smile, "Besides, maybe I will join before you."
"That's not necessarily true...I won't lose to you in potions." Kangna wrinkled her nose and gave Kyle a big eye roll.
…
While the two were talking, Lockhart also completed his long-winded opening remarks and began to write the paper.
Kyle and Connor also got one each.
"do not be afraid."
After handing out the papers, Lockhart returned to the podium and said, "It's just a simple test... to see how much you have read and how well you have understood it."
“I’ll give you thirty minutes, start now!” Kyle looked at the paper and felt a toothache.
What is Gilderoy Lockhart's favorite color?
What is Gilderoy Lockhart's secret ambition?
…
When is Gilderoy Lockhart's birthday, and what would be his ideal birthday gift?
More than fifty questions made Kyle feel unable to write for the first time.
Although he had read a few of Lockhart's books, he basically read the deeds in them. As for Lockhart's personal belongings, he didn't remember them at all.
Mainly because I can’t stand it.
He remembered that Lockhart seemed to like lilac color and wanted to sell his own toothpaste? Or shampoo...
Twenty minutes later, there was still a large blank space on Kyle’s paper.
He looked at Kangna...their papers were evenly matched, and she was even worse than him.
Although Lockhart would definitely not refuse someone to give him a large pile of gold on his birthday, you can't write it so straightforwardly.
Kyle scratched his hair. If he had known, he shouldn't have said so much to Lockhart when he was next to the Whomping Willow yesterday.
It would be a shame if you handed in a blank paper now.
There is no other way, in order to maintain the character, copy it!
Kyle glanced around and quickly identified a Gryffindor witch as his target.
She finished all the questions in just ten minutes, and she had been staring at Lockhart with adoring eyes, who was constantly patrolling. She was a die-hard fan at first sight.
“Okay, it’s her!”
Kyle took out his wand and pointed it at a large photo on the wall...
The next second, the huge picture frame fell from the wall without any warning and hit the ground with a "bang".
Then the second and the third.
The Lockharts in the portrait were so frightened that they screamed, and the noise instantly attracted everyone's attention.
Taking advantage of this moment, Kyle quickly used the Disillusionment Curse to come to the side of the witch. While the portraits of Lockharts screamed, he whispered the spell and made a copy of her test paper.
By the time Lockhart calmed down the portraits, Kyle had already returned to his seat with the copied answers, as if nothing had happened.
“It seems we have to take the time to practice the silent spell.” Kyle muttered in a low voice: “When I was reciting the spell just now, I almost got discovered.”
Kanna looked at him dumbfounded, "Just to copy homework?"
"This is just one aspect." Kyle said: "Sometimes the silent spell is indeed much more convenient."
On the podium, Lockhart straightened his messy blond hair and said with a smile: "Okay, it's okay. It seems that those portraits are a little too excited like me.
Keep writing, thirty minutes are coming soon. "
Kyle compared the copied parchment and copied the standard answers onto his own test paper.
So Lockhart sells shampoo? He thought toothpaste was more likely.
I have to say that Lockhart really chose the wrong product.
Toothpaste is so good, as long as he smiles, it is the best advertisement.
Looking at Kyle writing furiously, Kangna said dissatisfiedly: "It's wrong to copy homework, we should write it ourselves!"
“That’s it…” Kyle thought for a moment and put the parchment in the middle.
“Then let’s watch together?”
"good!"
