Harry Potter’s Raven’s Claw

Chapter 74 The First Encounter with Lockhart

Instead of wandering around Hogwarts, Mike went straight back to the Ravenclaw tower. Although it's not a big deal for Mike to sleep through the night last night, it's best to catch up on sleep.

But when Mike came to the door knocker, he found a person already waiting there.

Lockhart was wearing a turquoise-colored dress today, and the blond hair on his head should have used a lot of conditioner, and the roots were smooth against his forehead. There was also a book under his arm, which seemed to be just after class. Mike walked in and saw the title of the book: "Swimming with Ghoul". Strangely, the iconic smile that Lockhart had always put on his face was gone, replaced by a distressed look.

"Okay, okay! Do it again! This time I will definitely get it right!" Lockhart said firmly.

"Excuse me, what are the words that are often used to improve the stability of magic spells in ancient runes?" The voice of the eagle head door knocker passed over without a trace of emotion.

The expression on Lockhart's face became very stiff after hearing this, and after hesitating for a while, he replied:

"Um..., Axel?"

"mistake!"

"Alder!"

"mistake!"

...

"Okay! I don't know!" Lockhart finally couldn't stand it after making several mistakes. "You damn knocker is still so annoying! Let me in!"

With a grim expression, Locat tapped the eagle's door knocker with the book in his hand, and kept swearing in a dialect that Mike couldn't understand. But he may have forgotten that the eagle head knocker also has a protective restraint attached to it, and anyone who tries to open the door with violence will be attacked by the knocker.

As expected, the two sapphire blue lights in the eye sockets on the eagle head door knocker flickered, and Lockhart flew out and slammed into the wall.

Mike was quite speechless as he watched Lockhart rolling and moaning on the ground.

Eagle head knocker can be said to be the best access control in the four academies. Like the Sorting Hat, it has the ability to read people's hearts, but its wisdom is not as high as that of the Sorting Hat.

It will ask questions according to the knowledge reserve of the solver, that is to say, as long as it is a question, you can theoretically answer it, after all, you must have learned this knowledge.

This creates the fact that the older you get and the more you learn, the harder the problems it gives.

So first-years, especially Muggle-born first-years, are generally not trapped outside. On the contrary, the seniors are often forced to sleep on the floor outside the door, which makes Ravenclaw seniors generally carry a sleeping bag with them in case they need it.

Lockhart obviously belongs to the type who returns all the knowledge he has learned to the teacher after graduation.

Although he despised Lockhart for making a name for himself, because of his status as a professor, Mike stepped forward to help him up.

"You're not hurt, are you? Professor Lockhart."

Lockhart only noticed the existence of Mike at this time. Seeing that Mike wanted to help him, he hurriedly struggled to stand up from the floor and said:

"No, no! I'm fine! I just tested the power of the Ravenclaw access control, and it turned out great, as good as when I was in Ravenclaw." Lockhart said halfway through. His expression suddenly changed to surprise, "You are? Mike! You are Mike! Flitwick mentioned you to me, saying that you were the best student he had ever taught, and that you joined that organization."

Mike looked at Lockhart who was trying to keep himself from showing his ugliness in front of him, and he despised him a little more in his heart. The painful calf was trembling, and it was ridiculous to pretend to be okay.

No matter what he thinks in his heart, Mike's etiquette on the surface is impeccable.

He replied with a smile: "Yes, I'm Mike Townley. Professor Flitwick looks down on me too much, I just did what I was supposed to do as a student."

"You are so humble! Being able to join that organization has fully demonstrated your excellence." Lockhart took a few steps closer and said, "Tell me what the Crow's Nest test is like, and I will also They have sent me invitations several times to become a member of the Ravens, but unfortunately I have not had time to go."

Mike is already a little impatient, as Lockhart said, being able to join the Raven's Nest indeed proves that Mike is an excellent wizard, but also, as a Ravenclaw born Lockhart, so The fact that he hasn't joined the Raven's Nest for a long time also happens to prove that he is just a mediocrity.

"I'm not very clear about this. To be honest, I didn't know how I passed. Professor Flitwick should be able to give you an answer to these questions." Mike is no longer false with Lockhart. Yiwei Snake said directly, "In addition, don't you think it's inappropriate for us to talk about the Crow's Nest here? Did you just enter the Ravenclaw lounge? Just when I'm here, let me take you in. ."

After saying that, he ignored Lockhart's reaction and walked to the door knocker of Eagle Head.

Lockhart is not a "well-known person", and his face is not ordinary thick. Hearing that Mike rejected his request in disguise, the embarrassment in his eyes disappeared for a moment, and he took a few steps to keep up with Mike's pace.

"Well! You're right, things about that organization really shouldn't be discussed in public. I didn't expect you to know the truth of being a low-key person at a young age. It's really good, you will definitely become a person like me in the future. famous celebrity, your humility will bring you many benefits." Lockhart taught Mike as he walked.

Mike was speechless for a while, and muttered in his heart:

Become a celebrity like you who is as good as you are? I strongly suspect you are scolding me, but I have no proof.

Ignoring Lockhart's compliment, Mike motioned to the eagle head knocker to quickly ask the question, he didn't want to stay with Lockhart for a moment.

The question asked by Eagle Head Knocker to Mike was much simpler, and Mike answered the right question after just thinking for a moment. Seeing that the door of the lounge was opened, Mike ignored Lockhart who was behind him and went straight in.

And Lockhart followed closely behind Mike, wishing to stick with Mike.

He was afraid that the door would suddenly close and lock him out again, because their behavior was theoretically cheating, and the eagle head knocker might suddenly close the door in order to lock him out.

Fortunately, what Lockhart was worried about did not happen, and he entered the Ravenclaw lounge without any risk.

As soon as he entered the Ravenclaw lounge, Lockhart once again put on his iconic smile that has won the Witcher Weekly Most Charming Smile Award five times, and he also took care of his messy turquoise dress. neat and tidy.
