Harry Potter: The Path of Destiny

Chapter 57 Defense Against the Dark Arts

In the herbal medicine class, Professor Sprout taught everyone how to change the flowerpots of mandrake seedlings. Everyone wore thick headphones to prevent them from falling into coma after hearing the cries of the mandrake seedlings.

Professor Sprout's skillful operation made everyone mistakenly think that this was a very simple thing. However, when they actually did it, they found that it was not that easy. After the seedlings came out of the soil, they were not willing to go back to the soil. , Nidia and Michelle tried very hard but failed. Finally, thanks to Neville's help, Nidia was surprised to find that Neville, who seemed clumsy in other classes, was very good in herbal medicine class. He was very handy, and the mandrake became much more obedient in his hands. The repotting work was completed without much effort.

Next came Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration class. The projects they practiced had changed from turning matches into needles to turning living beetles into buttons.

Transfiguration is the basis for learning Animagus. Nydia is very interested in Animagus, so she practices the Transfiguration class very seriously.

"What do you want to become?" Michelle asked curiously after knowing Nitya's thoughts.

"I don't know, it doesn't matter! I just think it would be interesting to see the world from the perspective of animals." Nidia said.

"Is it okay to turn into a mouse? Go keep company with Ron's Scabbers!" Michelle said playfully.

"Mouse... let's forget it! Who would want to become a mouse! I think it would be great for Professor McGonagall to become a cat." Nydia felt that maybe she should think about what she wanted to become, although now It's too early to think about this.

The whole morning course ended in a tight rhythm. It may be that the difficulty of learning in the second grade has increased. It was a bit difficult for everyone to operate when they were new to it. Of course, Hermione was an exception.

"What class is this afternoon?" Michelle asked Nidia while eating her lunch in the restaurant.

"Lockhart's Defense Against the Dark Arts class," Nydia replied.

"Did you get to his class so soon? It's great. I can't help but want to see what he's capable of." Michelle said excitedly.

"I will probably disappoint you!" Nydia has never been very optimistic about Lockhart.

"Do you and Brace have the same idea? Anyway, you will know after the class. Those experiences cannot be fabricated." Michelle said.

"Then let's wait and see."

After lunch, Nydia and Michelle returned to the common room and took a short rest before getting up and heading to the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom. Along the way, Michelle kept telling Nydia about Lockhart's various things. Adventures, Nydia had never seen Michelle obsessed with books, but now she had apparently read all of Lockhart's books.

"What's going on in front? There seem to be a lot of people around." Nydia didn't want to keep listening to Michelle talk about Lockhart, but seeing her so excited and unable to find a reason to interrupt her, Nydia looked at the front The crowd quickly tried to change the subject.

"I think I saw Lockhart!" Michelle said excitedly, then quickened her pace and walked around.

Nydia had a headache. She originally just wanted to use the crowd to change the subject, but she didn't expect that the person in the center of the crowd was Lockhart himself. She followed helplessly, but when she got closer, she was surprised to find that the crowd was surrounding her. It wasn't just Lockhart, Harry was with him. Lockhart put an arm on Harry's shoulder, and a little boy with gray hair was taking pictures of them with a camera.

"What is going on?" Nidia said to herself in confusion.

"Potter is sending out signed photos. Did he give you one?" Draco stood behind Nydia at some point.

"Signed photo?" Nydia couldn't believe it and looked at Draco in confusion.

"Yes! After using such a special way to go to school, Potter is really in the limelight now! There are already junior students chasing him to take photos and ask for autographs." Draco said sarcastically.

"Look, Harry seems to be unwilling." Harry looked very embarrassed and his face was red.

"Like it or not, he's stealing the show now," Draco said.

"Haha, Draco, what you said is a bit sour! Are you jealous?" Blaise suddenly appeared.

"Jealous? Are you crazy?" Draco looked at Blaise with an idiotic expression.

"My dear sister, how was your morning?" Blaise greeted Nydia and ignored Draco.

"If you call me sister like that now, others will misunderstand." Regarding Mrs. Zabini's matter, my father has never made a clear statement.

"I saw that my mother sent you something this morning. What was it? My biological son didn't receive anything. I'm really jealous!" Blaise pretended to be shocked.

"It's a bunch of cosmetics." The crowd that had gathered around them had dispersed, and Lockhart had also left, so Michelle came back.

"Cosmetics!" After hearing what Michelle said, Draco looked at Nidia carefully and then frowned and said, "Nidia doesn't need it."

"Ahem... Well, it may be a little early for Nidia to use these now. My mother may not know Nidia very well. I will write to her and tell her." Brace thought that would be the case. They were some snacks or something, or at most some trinkets for girls.

"Oh, please don't, it might make her sad. In fact, I can also learn these. It will be useful if I want to attend a dinner party or something." Nydia has nothing against these cosmetics. She liked it, but it made her a little surprised. Maybe it was because her mother left early, and no one had ever really taught Nidia how to dress herself up as a girl.

"Don't worry! I know what to do." Brace made a reassuring expression for Nitya.

"Nitya, we should go, we might be late if we go any later." Michelle urged.

"What are your classes?" Draco asked.

"Defense Against the Dark Arts." Nydia replied with a helpless expression. Draco and Blaise looked like they were enjoying the show.

"Hey! Don't be like this. After the class, you will know how powerful he is." Michelle said angrily.

"Yes! Yes! You will know after the class, so go ahead!" Blaise said with a smile.

Michelle didn't want to argue too much with Blaise. She felt that as soon as the class was over, both of you would know how powerful Lockhart was. She grabbed Nydia and ran towards the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom. .

But things didn't develop at all as Michelle expected. Even Nydia felt a little surprised. She didn't expect much from Lockhart, thinking that he would just read to them from the textbook like Quirrell. , and in fact it was worse than she thought. The whole class became like a personal meeting with Lockhart. He did not teach them any knowledge about Defense Against the Dark Arts, but just kept investigating the students. understanding of his personal preferences.

What was even more outrageous in the end was that he released a group of Cornish elves that he couldn't even catch back. The elves caused wanton mischief in the classroom, and everyone suffered. The spells he cast were completely ineffective, and in the end even The wands were snatched away by the elves, and the whole lesson was a farce.

"Now, how do you feel?" Nidia asked Michelle after finally escaping from the classroom full of elves.

"Maybe...maybe he just did this on purpose, just to give us more opportunities to practice." Michelle was obviously lacking in confidence when she said these words.

"Do you really think so?" Nidia could see that Michelle was also doubtful in her heart.

"Don't tell Brace this." Michelle thought that if Brace knew about this situation, he might still laugh at her like this.

"Don't worry! He will know it soon without us telling him. It's not like they don't take Defense Against the Dark Arts classes." Nidia felt a little sympathetic to Michelle. Blaise would definitely make fun of Michelle for a long time. of.

"Damn it." Michelle complained angrily.
