Chapter 256 Lockhart's Big Move

At breakfast time the next morning, Gryffindor students came to the Great Hall one after another.

Not only did they find that their own house points had dropped a lot, but they also saw a headmaster who had turned into a lion.

Thinking of Hermione Granger, who had a black face not long ago, even the dullest student in Hufflepuff could guess what had happened.

And the only person who dared to do such a thing was a certain Gryffindor cat person, not even the famous Weasley twins.

However, under Professor McGonagall's oppressive gaze and majestic appearance, everyone could only suppress their smiles, lower their heads and eat food silently, making the usually noisy breakfast time become particularly quiet.

Especially the Weasley twins, after recalling how they discussed how to trick Percy into drinking the Polyjuice Potion in front of Fish, they almost buried their heads in the dinner plate, pretending that they did not exist at all, for fear of attracting Fish's attention and then being known by Professor McGonagall that this matter was related to the two of them.

Professor McGonagall, sitting on the teacher's desk, had a stern face and was very helpless. She didn't want to use this method to forcibly suppress the students of Hogwarts, but the transformation effect of the Polyjuice Potion was very stubborn, and even she, the master of Transfiguration, had no way to deal with it.

Although she could ask for leave and let other professors help to take the class, for the conscientious Professor McGonagall, since her ability to act was completely fine, she would not hand over her work to others... even if her current appearance was a bit embarrassing.

So Professor McGonagall could only put on a cold face to maintain her dignity as a professor.

She didn't want to be treated as a joke by students like Lockhart.

The only thing to be thankful for was that although the animal transformation caused by the Polyjuice Potion lasted for a long time and the effect was relatively stubborn, the degree of transformation was not high.

So although Fish was given the hair of a male lion, Professor McGonagall had no unnecessary organs except for a long coat and a lion's tail...

Otherwise, she would never have let go of a certain little cat and a certain unreliable headmaster who gave lion hair to a little cat so easily last night!

Thinking of this, Professor McGonagall first glared at Dumbledore fiercely, and then glared at Fish who was feasting on the Gryffindor table.

(●ω●)

The little cat shrank his neck when he noticed her gaze, and then turned his head away silently.

He still remembered the beating last night, but he didn't dare to provoke Professor McGonagall again.

The students below were impressed by Professor McGonagall's former majesty, and at most they laughed secretly, but other professors didn't have so many scruples, especially old colleagues like Flitwick and Professor Sprout.

"The new look is good, Minerva."

Professor Sprout, who was a little jealous of Professor McGonagall, suddenly felt fortunate that he didn't adopt Fish.

But it's fortunate, but we still have to tease.

Professor Flitwick touched his bald head and said thoughtfully: "Can I get some Polyjuice Potion to drink?"

Professor McGonagall rolled her eyes and didn't want to pay attention to her unscrupulous colleagues.

Lockhart sighed "Oh my god" and wanted to get closer to show his presence, but under the murderous look Professor McGonagall cast on him, he sat in his seat very tactfully without moving.

It's just that Lockhart really envied Professor McGonagall's current appearance of being the center of attention, but if he was asked to drink Polyjuice Potion, he would not be interested, otherwise Lockhart would have done so when Hermione turned into a black cat before.

The main reason was that he was not very satisfied with this kind of severe animal transformation.

If he could only have a pair of animal ears and a tail like Fish, or have more hair without affecting his handsome appearance, Lockhart would not mind having a bottle of Polyjuice Potion.

As for the cat-ear hairpins that the twins had sold before, Lockhart was completely uninterested, because such things that everyone had and could not attract attention had no appeal to him.

I wonder if Professor Snape can develop a Polyjuice Potion with a weaker effect of transformation...

Lockhart stroked his chin, considering whether to go and talk to Snape later, but when he thought of the other party's ruthless behavior in the duel club, he finally gave up this suicidal idea.

Lockhart sighed. Because of the existence of Fish, his career of gaining popularity in Hogwarts was extremely difficult. Even the duel club that he had worked so hard to set up before was gradually being taken away by other professors.

After all, whether it was Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape who were there at the beginning, or Professor Flitwick and Professor Sprout who joined later, their strength and teaching level were very excellent, far from being comparable to Lockhart, a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts with a false reputation.

Hogwarts students are not fools, so they naturally know who to ask for advice.

Therefore, in the current duel club, Lockhart, as the organizer, has been reduced to the role of assistant. If the three high school and junior grade competitions were not continued as a routine, and Lockhart had not been given the responsibility of referee, he would have no sense of existence in the duel club at all...

But the so-called referee is actually just a tool to shout "bow" and "one, two, three".

This obviously deviated from Lockhart's original intention of opening the dueling club, but now, the situation of the dueling club is no longer decided by him, so he can only think of other ways to show his presence.

Soon, Lockhart gets his chance to shine, because...

Valentine's Day is coming.

As a popular author who receives a large number of love letters every Valentine's Day, Lockhart is very confident in how to stir up the atmosphere on Valentine's Day.

Moreover, he believed that he knew those restless little wizards in adolescence very well. As long as he set up a stage for them to express their love, then they would definitely thank him, which could also slightly restore his poor reputation.

So on the morning of February 14th, when everyone came to the auditorium, what they saw was big pink flowers covering the surrounding walls, and countless heart-shaped confetti falling from the sky-blue ceiling. Falling down.

"Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!" Lockhart, wearing a bright pink robe, standing behind the teacher's table, shouted cheerfully: "So far, I have received many greeting cards from admirers, and I am among them. I saw a lot of familiar surnames!”

Since he failed to receive greeting cards from students on campus, Lockhart could only bring out his book fans to talk about. As he spoke, he took out a card.

"Like this one - a greeting from Molly Weasley. There's no doubt that this is your family, right?"

Lockhart bared his shining teeth and waved to the Weasley brothers and sisters at the Gryffindor table.

"Just kill me……"

Ron covered his face with his hands and banged his head on the dining table. The other Weasleys were not much better, and even Percy looked ashamed to see others.

After that, Lockhart named the family members of several classmates, and the students whose names were called had painful expressions on their faces.

"To thank all the family members for their enthusiasm, I took it upon myself to arrange this little surprise for you!" Lockhart pointed to the decorations in the great hall and the heart-shaped confetti that greatly affected the meal, "and That’s not all!”

Lockhart clapped his hands and strode in through the doors leading to the hall, where twelve sullen-looking dwarfs strode in. And they are different from ordinary dwarves. Lockhart made them all wear golden wings and carry harps on their backs.

"My friendly little cupids with cards!" Lockhart beamed. "They're going to be wandering around the school today delivering Valentine's Day cards to you! The fun doesn't stop there! I'm sure my colleagues Everyone is willing to participate enthusiastically! ”

Lockhart, who had been in the limelight for a long time, began to wander again. After letting a group of students die, he extended his claws to the school's professors. At this time, he would not consider the consequences of offending other professors. .

"Why don't you ask Professor Snape to teach you how to make a potion? If you're interested, Professor Flitwick is more proficient in psychedelic magic than any wizard I've ever met, cunning old dog!"

When Professor Flitwick's name was called, he buried his face in his hands, while Snape's eyes were cold and he looked like he was going to kill someone. If anyone who couldn't see really asked him how to use the love potion, , he will definitely be forced to drink poison.

The professors whose names were not called also had livid faces and watched the farce caused by Lockhart without saying a word. Professor McGonagall was so angry that the mane around her head exploded.

Although the professors were very dissatisfied with Lockhart's behavior, the little wizards who had entered adolescence were somewhat moved, especially many little witches who were already looking at the people on the Gryffindor table. Fei promised.

"Sister Sharpay," the ignorant kitten tugged at Sharpay Evans next to her, "What is Valentine's Day, meow? Fish wants to send you greeting cards just like Christmas, meow?"
