Chapter 263 Don’t Rely on Luck
The first day of the new school year started with Ron receiving the howler letter in the auditorium cafeteria.
Mrs. Weasley could not tolerate her son's behavior of driving into the sky, which made their already poor family even worse.
Sometimes, the rich emotions of wizards are always reflected in various details. A small red envelope perfectly interprets the effect of the lion's roar in Hedong, and the 3D surrounding reverberation fills the auditorium with all the little ones dining in it. The wizard came to refresh his mind and made Ron Weasley's name famous throughout the school.
After the herbal medicine class in the morning, the little wizards had their most anticipated Defense Against the Dark Arts class in the afternoon.

Lockhart, wearing a white dress-like robe, walked into the scene with his still charming smile.
He waved his wand, and the air in the room suddenly became fresh, and at the same time there was a light floral fragrance filling the air. The smell was sweet but not greasy, very elegant and pleasant.
The knowledgeable Hermione immediately determined the name of the flower: Gypsophila.
"I like the fragrance of flowers. It brings me peace and allows me to think more focused. Of course, the most important thing is that it can make people feel happy. This is also my class. I hope it can give you the best experience. ”
After saying this, cheers and applause broke out from the little wizards in the venue, mostly the little witches.
Lockhart showed his signature smile again. He raised his hand slightly to lower his voice, "In the first class today, we will talk about the essence of Defense Against the Dark Arts. Who can answer this question?"
Hermione raised her hand out of habit.
"Oh, beautiful lady, may I know your name?"
Hermione looked around and made sure it was her, then she stood up and said with a smile, "My name is Hermione Granger, professor!"
"Hello, Miss Granger, I am impressed by your beauty, so please answer the question I just asked."
Hermione almost opened her mouth, "The Defense Against the Dark Arts class mainly covers how to deal with evil spells and dark creatures, including vampires, werewolves, black goblins and other magical creatures. Students will start from the theoretical and practical levels and learn how to resist various kinds of magic." Types of black magic, dark creatures, and dueling techniques.”
"Very standard!" Lockhart took the lead in applauding gently, "I will add two points to Gryffindor."
Hermione sat down with a smile on her face.
When the applause subsided, Lockhart spoke again, "Miss Granger explained the definition of Defense Against the Dark Arts in the most rigorous terms. It is very standard, but in my personal opinion it is still somewhat lacking.
Of course, Miss Granger, you don’t need to be depressed. You just lack some experience and knowledge. It’s not your fault. I will supplement it for everyone next. "
After he finished speaking, many students' eyes were attracted.
He waved his wand and wrote a line of golden words in the air: Don't take chances.
"As we all know, I have been to many places and dealt with many dark creatures and dark wizards. They are either insidious, hypocritical, or pretending to be dead. They will always deceive your eyes.
Some will pretend to be down-and-out people to win your sympathy, some will pretend to be noble wise men to give you advice, and even some will use their souls to seduce others. At first you will get some benefits, but that's just The means to make you relax your vigilance, until you completely let down your guard, then you will be deprived of everything, lose your life, and even kill your relatives and friends.
I have seen this kind of thing too many times, and finally paid for such a sentence with blood! "
Lockhart stared into everyone's eyes and spoke very slowly: "Remember, luck will not last forever, and pies will not fall from the sky. You should never, ever take any chances when it comes to magic! "
After saying this, the atmosphere in the entire classroom became a little depressing.
Such a heavy topic made the little wizards who had always had illusions about magic inevitably show a look of fear on their faces. Hermione and the others had similar reactions, at least on the surface.
In fact, her heart was already trembling.
She mustered up great courage and asked in her heart, "Mr. System, would you do that to me?"
Lu Yuan only replied with two words: [No. 】
Hermione didn't speak anymore, and Lu Yuan didn't pry into her thoughts. This change in mood and thoughts was also a kind of experience.
There are too many misfortunes in life, but every time adversity comes, it is not an opportunity for practice. Mediocre people will complain about everything and avoid everything, but transparent people will forge ahead and face difficulties.
That's growth, it's never sweet.
Lockhart did not teach any specific content in this class, but his "personal experience" experience made many young wizards fear magic and at the same time, they were deeply impressed by this erudite and sophisticated professor. .
For a time, his fans became even more enthusiastic, and a large number of passerby little wizards were also fans.
In the next few days, as the Defense Against the Dark Arts classes of each grade came to an end, the relevant discussions became more heated, and Lockhart's reputation became more and more famous throughout Hogwarts.
During this period, Hermione discovered something. The professor said the same words in class to almost every grade.
Time is ticking forward. Apart from studying, how can you not live without Quidditch in Hogwarts?
What? You don't like it? Then you are really not a wizard.
This idea is not only held by a few people, but the vast majority of wizards have a similar attitude.
Like Gryffindor captain Wood, he spent the whole summer planning tactical plans for the new school year.
Unfortunately, the originally planned private training was disrupted by a group of guys in green school uniforms.
Slytherin captain Flint came to occupy the field with the permission of Dean Snape.
Malfoy, the yellow-haired man, also joined the team this year and asked his rich father to replace the seven members of the team with the latest brooms, the Nimbus 2001.
Malfoy, who felt that he was in great glory, taunted Ron who came to check the situation without hesitation, "Yes, Weasley, shut up, this is just a small amount of money for our family!"
Ron was about to turn into a red-faced man after hearing this.
"At least the Gryffindor team members relied on their real skills!" Hermione's words helped Ron relieve his embarrassment.
When Malfoy heard Hermione's voice, his eyelids twitched as if he was stressed. He was about to respond with "mudblood" to comfort her, but when he looked into the eyes of the little witch.
Malfoy, the crooked-mouthed dragon king, actually blushed.
This weird reaction made Ron beside him inexplicably angry. He took out the wand that was broken by speeding, "Watch your eyes, Malfoy!"
This not only aroused Malfoy's anger, but also Hermione frowned slightly.
"You have no place to talk here! Weasley, what's the matter, is your family so poor that you can't even afford a wand?" Malfoy took out his wand, "Do you want me to give you one?"
"Shut up! Malfoy!" Harry also pulled out his wand.
Malfoy frowned, and the fire in his heart somehow jumped up, and the wand pointed directly at Harry, "Hanging upside down!"
In an instant, Harry's legs seemed to have stepped into a trap, and the whole person was hung in the air in an extremely embarrassing way.
His action directly led to the fight between the Slytherin and Gryffindor players.
Ron fired a sneak attack curse, which was rebounded by his own wand and he was the first to be eliminated.
As sixth graders, Wood and Flint fought the most fiercely.
Hermione, who felt a little strange, easily dodged several magic sneak attacks, used the Transfiguration spell to trip several Slytherin students, and then other Gryffindor students completed the "finishing blow".
The battle ended quickly. Hermione used a spell to stop Harry, but she couldn't help Ron solve the magic backlash. She could only go to the school infirmary with Harry and Ron, who kept spitting slugs.
When leaving, Hermione still felt that something was wrong. This fight was too sudden. She looked at a place according to her feeling, and only saw a back figure leaving from a distance.
That seemed to be, Lockhart!
