Chapter 144 The New Professor Is a Little Unreliable
"Yes, one step closer to a battle pet." Aaron patted Abe's head with satisfaction, and then stuffed the Mandrake seedling into a new flowerpot.
Perhaps because of Abe's intimidation, he didn't even do anything, and the Mandrake seedling buried itself in the compost with its slender roots.
"Very sensible."
Aaron was even more satisfied, and even thought of buying the seedling from Professor Sprout.
But it was just an idea. Raising a dragon was tiring enough. If you raise a magical plant with a certain lethality, you can't live like this.
Professor Sprout carefully guided each student and tried to handle all the Mandrake seedlings in the greenhouse as much as possible. The enthusiasm made Aaron think that she was exploiting the students' labor.
When the get out of class was over, almost every student was sweating and covered with mud.
"I can't stand it anymore. I must take a shower." Draco said tiredly, "Aaron, are you going?"
"Me? I don't need to.
My physical fitness is a little better than yours, so I'm not so tired.
Besides, the next class is Defense Against the Dark Arts. I am still very interested in this new professor." Aaron smiled meaningfully, "I plan to read his works carefully before class."
"Professor Lockhart's...works?" Draco frowned slightly, "Is that a textbook?"
"You can say that!
Don't be afraid of you laughing at me. I haven't even seen the covers of those books once."
"Okay! See you in the classroom this afternoon."
After lunch, Aaron returned to the dormitory, opened his suitcase, and took out a packed cardboard box from it.
This is the textbook for Defense Against the Dark Arts that Genes prepared for him almost a month ago, but he has never had time to read it.
After opening the box, Aaron took out seven books by Lockhart.
"Breaking with the Ghost", "Traveling with the Ghouls", "Holiday with the Hag", "Traveling with the Trolls", "Wandering with the Werewolf", "A Year with the Tibetan Yeti", "Traveling on the Same Boat with the Vampire"
These books are piled up almost two feet high.
Aaron opened one of them and read it at a glance.
However, Aaron's expression became strange as he read. The protagonist Lockhart in the book had almost no shortcomings. He was a positive character who fought wits and courage with dark creatures.
He was not surprised at this, because the protagonist always had his own halo.
What surprised him was that the content of the book was very real, as if it really happened to him, even more real than the history told by Professor Binns.
"Did I guess wrong?" Aaron doubted himself a little, but he quickly cleared this doubt from his mind.
After seeing the real person, all doubts can be resolved.
But to be honest, putting aside all speculations and doubts, Lockhart's writing ability has reached its peak.
As the class time was getting closer, Aaron picked up seven books and rushed to the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom.
As soon as he opened the door, Aaron's mouth twitched.
A large oil painting was placed on the podium. The content of the painting was Lockhart himself painting a painting of Lockhart.
In addition to this painting, both sides of the classroom were filled with photos of Lockhart, and each photo was a smiling emoticon with eight teeth showing.
A good Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom was actually arranged to be full of festive meaning.
"Aaron, why are you here just now?" Draco stepped forward to help him put the seven books on the desk, "The class will start soon."
"Isn't it not late!" Aaron smiled embarrassedly and pointed to the photos in the classroom, "It seems that our new professor is really narcissistic!"
"You can't say that." Hermione said.
Susan next to her also nodded with a gloomy face. It goes without saying that this person is also a die-hard fan of Lockhart.
"Aaron, I agree with your point of view. I have never seen such a narcissist.
But in this classroom, don't say anything bad about Lockhart, because many people are his fans."
"That's good. Not all students..."
Before he finished speaking, Aaron felt a chill on his back. About one-third of the people in the classroom looked at him angrily.
"You see, this is the celebrity effect." Draco shrugged and whispered, "Now I understand why my father doesn't let me show hostility to Harry Potter in public."
Aaron nodded in agreement, "Mr. Lucius is right."
At this time, the door of the classroom suddenly opened, and Professor Lockhart, wearing a particularly flashy golden wizard robe, walked in.
"Please allow me to introduce your new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, that is... myself, Gilderoy Lockhart." Lockhart walked to his oil painting, "Merlin, Third Class Medal, Honorary Member of the Anti-Dark Magic League, and five-time winner of the Most Charming Smile Award of Wizard Weekly.
But I am a low-key person who never shows off. I don't drive away the ghost of Wanlun with a smile. "
Harold's self-introduction ended here. Fans like Hermione and Susan looked at Lockhart with admiration below the podium, and they wanted to go up and ask for an autographed photo immediately.
Students like Harry and Ron who were not blindly chasing stars looked at each other and didn't take him seriously.
Aaron's eyes twitched slightly. He felt that he still underestimated Lockhart's narcissism. How could he keep saying such a low-key person who never shows off?
He can write seven autobiographies for himself without showing off. What a joke?
"Suddenly I feel that this professor seems a little unreliable!" Draco frowned.
"Be more confident, remove the word "seemingly". "Aaron said, "In addition to being unreliable, he is also a little hypocritical."
"I can see it.
But if he is unreliable, the exams for our Defense Against the Dark Arts class this semester should not be very difficult. "
Aaron was stunned for a moment, as if nothing was wrong.
It is inevitable that teaching accidents will occur if the teacher is unreliable, and the test results may be directly invalidated.
Thinking of this, Aaron suddenly felt that Lockhart was much more pleasing to the eye.
He saved him a class time for no reason, which was what he dreamed of when he was in the cram school, but he could not get it.
Lockhart walked to the podium and picked up a stack of test papers, "I see that you have all bought my complete works. Before the formal class, let's do a small test.
Don't be afraid, I just want to see how much you have read and how much you have previewed in advance. "
The test paper was handed to everyone, a full four pages of answer sheets, but each page had only one question.
What is Lockhart's favorite color? What is his secret ambition? What is his greatest achievement so far? When is his birthday and what is his ideal birthday gift?
Aaron looked at these test questions, and thunder rolled in his mind.
Weird! Lockhart is definitely a weirdo in the teaching world.
No, describing him as a teacher is an insult to the sacred profession of teachers.
"Aaron, do you know the answer?" Draco asked anxiously and amusedly.
"Don't worry, I guess no one in the classroom can answer this kind of question except for the brain-dead fans.
It's simply misleading students, just write it casually for the sake of meaning. "
Draco shrugged, "I know this, but he is a professor after all, and if the answer is correct, it will give Slytherin extra points. "
Aaron frowned, secretly said trouble in his heart, then turned to look at Crabbe and Goyle, and asked seriously: "Do you want extra points for Slytherin? "
Hearing this tempting voice, the two looked at each other and nodded.
"Very good!" Aaron took their test papers, took a deep breath, and wrote down the answers to all the questions.
"Warning, don't tell me that these are the answers I gave you."
"You know the answers to these weird questions?" Draco said unexpectedly, "Don't tell me that you are also a crazy fan of Lockhart, then your image in my heart will collapse instantly."
Aaron shook his head helplessly, then pointed to his eyes, "Just a few hours ago, I flipped through our textbooks..."
"Have you finished reading?"
"Of course not, even if you have a photographic memory, it is impossible to read seven books in such a short time.
I just happened to see the answer. "
"So that's it!" Draco suddenly realized, and then looked at Crabbe and Goyle's test papers, with some hesitation in his eyes.
"I advise you not to do this." Aaron smiled meaningfully, "Not everyone can bear the praise of a weird teacher. "
Draco swallowed his saliva, and suddenly felt that the test papers of his two followers were a little hot. After looking at them with some sympathy, he scribbled on his own test paper.
Aaron shrugged, looked at the test paper with some disdain, and then looked at Gilderoy Lockhart who was smiling on the podium, and sneered in his heart.
He picked up the feather pen and wrote down his answers on all the answer sheets, then put the test paper aside, took a new piece of white paper, and tried to carve a high-level magic circle on it.
After all, time cannot be wasted, and you have to find something meaningful to do.
It is far from him to create a magic circle in a single thought and apply it perfectly in practice, so he can only start with the simple ones.
After Draco finished answering the questions, he glanced at Aaron's test paper with some curiosity, and his pupils couldn't help but widen a little, "Are you sure you want to write it like this? ”
