"You can't drink water, just eat it raw." Hermione said quietly.
Ron can only shrink his neck and play dead.
Who knew that Lockhart actually became low-key today, not as ostentatious as they had seen in Diagon Alley before.
This not only made Ron feel strange, but also made Hermione feel that Lockhart's impression of her had changed again.
The wit, brave and clever adventurer in the book; the hypocritical and arrogant writer in Diagon Alley; the serious and reliable professor in Hogwarts.
So these messes, which one is the real Lockhart?
Lynn easily picked up the textbook placed on the desk of a little wizard next to him. It was one of Lockhart's autobiography, "Traveling with a Vampire".
Lockhart, a liar, made a lot of money by being a professor. He requires every student to have at least seven textbooks for Defense Against the Dark Arts this year, all of which are his autobiography, and the price of each is not Low, a family like Weasley who needs to supply so many children to school a year can really buy it by selling iron.
"First of all, before the class, let's talk about the textbooks you are holding." He raised the autobiography of Lockhart in his hands. "Because I had some mistakes in communication with Professor Dumbledore. So let you buy these things to use as textbooks for this year. This is my mistake, because we don't use these books at all in class."
There was a little noise in the classroom. After all, these books are really not cheap. As a result, Lockhart now says that they are not available. It is a waste. This inevitably makes some little wizards who are dissatisfied with them even more unhappy.
"Because this responsibility rests with me, so you will not be responsible for the money you use to buy these books. After class is over, you can go to the prefect of your academy and ask them to help count how many people in an academy have bought and how many books. Then report to me and I will refund everyone the money they bought for the book."
Lynn finished speaking, the classroom suddenly fell into a brief silence, and then burst into violent cheers.
Most of the little wizards in Hogwarts were born in mixed-blood and Muggle families, and only a small number of rich pure-blood families, and if the money is returned back, it will definitely go to the students, and then go home to the parents. It's not like they are watching it by themselves.
Ron, who used to be an ostrich, was also excited. His wand was broken when the car hit the beating willow. Now he dare not tell his family that if Lynn returns the money for the book, he can get a new one. .
While the little wizard was in joy, someone raised his hand again. This time it was still a girl, but changed to a student of Gryffindor.
"Any questions?"
The girl asked, "Then, do you want to take back the books we are holding now?"
Lynn spread his hands and said, "Take it as a meeting gift for you. Of course, if you don’t like it, I won’t mind using it as toilet paper."
There was a roar of laughter in the classroom, which let the little wizards know that their defense against the Dark Arts class professor is not that serious and old-fashioned.
Just less than five minutes into class, Lynn has already established a preliminary reputation in the hearts of these little wizards. Of course, this is because Lynn has spent money, but it is not his own money that is spent.
Although Lynn said that the last sentence is rich and enemy country is not an exaggeration, but if he wants him to pay for the liar Lockhart, he certainly does not want to be taken a fool.
After Lockhart became a fool, Lynn went to his home with Dumbledore's acquiescence and checked all the things he had left behind.
Even if the wizard’s money is generally stored in the Gringotts vault, some funds will be left in the house to use as a spare. Lynn confiscated the gold Jialong left by Lockhart at home, and the amount is not large. It's not too small, it's more than enough to compensate the little wizards at Hogwarts for buying books.
In addition, his biggest gain in Lockhart's house is the experience of the forgetting spell written by the liar himself.
Apart from anything else, the Forgotten Curse is definitely Lockhart’s signature. It was with this unique skill that he attacked a number of adventurer wizards who had truly experienced his book, and finally achieved his current achievement.
Lynn walked back to the podium and knocked on the table to signal everyone to be quiet.
"Well, we officially start the class now, because the professor of the defense against the dark arts at Hogwarts is changed every year, so I don't know how far Professor Quirrell took you to study last year, plus the dark arts. Defense is a comprehensive subject. In this class, I need to first understand what magic knowledge you have mastered."
He took out a bunch of test papers and sent it down. As soon as he saw that he was going to take an exam, the little wizard below suddenly frowned.
"Mutual understanding is the first step. Don’t whisper when you write, and don’t cheat. You don’t even need to write names on this test paper. I just want to use it to know what knowledge you have now. Of course, you can’t. Write nonsense on it and tell you in advance that as long as I want, I can find out who his master is through the test paper. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com"
After Lynn said, the exam began.
Instead of sitting on the podium, he walked down and looked around.
The purpose of the exam is just as he said, just to simply test how much knowledge these little wizards have. He certainly can't measure them by his second grade standards. That would be too unfair.
Lynn has always had a very clear position for himself. If he adds up the magic talent points without a system, he might become a hardworking genius, but now, he is just a hardworking genius.
He patrolled the classroom twice, and probably figured out the situation of these little wizards.
Lynn can't use himself as the standard now, but he can use Harry as the standard.
The reason why Harry is because his own magic talent is not low, and even has a high talent in defense against the dark magic, but usually not hard enough, even most of the time is not doing business, or blind with Ron. To make trouble, or to play Quidditch, there is very little time for serious study.
Lynn had planned to use Hermione as the benchmark before, but after a round of inspections, he found that if this were the case, no one in the entire classroom could reach the pass line.
But even if Harry’s grades are used, the grades of these little wizards are not satisfactory. Few of them exceed the pass line, and they can count all the slaps. This is still the case of Ravenclaw students.
In other words, the remaining people who are inferior to Harry, neither have magical talents like him, but are still playing crazy like him.
This is enough to show how lax the Hogwarts students are in their studies.
