Chapter 97 Lockhart wants to realize his dream

In this not-so-peaceful environment, time flies to December, and Christmas is finally coming.

Both teachers and students breathed a sigh of relief.

Many students couldn't wait to sign the school leave list. After all, they all felt that the school was really unsafe.

According to Harry's knowledge, most of the people in Gryffindor have chosen to leave, and the same is true in other houses.

Hermione originally wanted to invite Harry to her home for Christmas, but she was worried about Harry's safety.

Moreover, the Grangers also welcomed Harry as a guest. After hearing Hermione talk about Harry's experience, they all sympathized with Harry.

However, Harry didn't want to leave school at Christmas, so Hermione had no choice but to give up and decided to stay with Harry.

And the professors are also happy to have a leisurely holiday.

"I feel relieved when I think that Christmas will be in two weeks, most students will go home, and nothing will happen during this period."

In the professor's common room, Professor McGonagall held a cup of wolfberry tea, took a sip, and talked to the other teachers with a comfortable look on her face.

Professor Flitwick nodded in agreement, while secretly using magic to cover up the dark circles under his eyes.

But the professors soon discovered that they were happy too early. They didn't seem to have as much free time as they thought.

Because after three weeks of grinding on Professor Dumbledore, Professor Lockhart successfully applied for a new performance opportunity for himself——

He finally applied for his own club and decided to live a full life before Christmas.

As we all know, professors have their own small clubs, such as Professor Snape's Potions Club and Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration Club.

Of course, professors usually select suitable students from third-year students to join. After all, by that time, the basic knowledge of each subject has been basically taught.

And students who choose to join the club will not be completely confused after joining the club and will not be able to follow the class.

Professors don't repeat the basics of first and second grade in clubs.

Of course, Professor Snape had wanted to invite Harry in his first year, but considering that one-on-one lessons seemed to be more effective, he gave up the request.

He just silently adjusted the club time. The potion club that originally held two or three times a week was only held once on Saturday night.

Lockhart had always wanted to join the professors' club when he was in school, but no professor was willing to invite him.

Although his results are indeed good, he can get full marks in almost every written test. At most, he will deduct a few points, his evaluation is still O, and he can pass the actual operation.

(In addition, although it is graded according to O, P, and A, in the first part, Hermione said that she scored 127 points for magic.

So the author guesses that a certain score interval corresponds to a scoring standard, such as 150 to 120, which counts as O. The specifics cannot be guessed in more detail.)

But Lockhart's too exaggerated performance made the professors stay away from him, fearing that he would turn his club into a "Lockhart Worship Club".

And now that Professor Lockhart has the opportunity, he naturally wants to fulfill his original dream.

Although I can’t join a club, it’s not bad to form a club of your own.

And in order to highlight his reputation, Professor Lockhart chose to post a notice directly on the school bulletin board that all students can join the dueling club.

In order to surprise the students, he also deliberately concealed his name.

"When the students find out that I organized this club, they will definitely admire me even more."

The first night Professor Lockhart had a nail in his mouth and a hammer in his hand.

But even nails couldn't shut his mouth, so he was still chatting vaguely with Filch.

Filch was holding a pile of parchment aside. He was very moved when he saw Professor Lockhart not using magic in order to take care of his own emotions, so he nodded repeatedly.

But other professors don't think so.

After hearing the news from Principal Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, as the vice-principal, almost didn't sleep all night.

After all, the deans think that they are quite aware of Professor Lockhart's actual level.

During this period of time, Hogwarts was not very peaceful, and the little wizards were about to get really excited.

Now that Lockhart has organized a dueling club, doesn't that just add fuel to the fire?

As a rookie, can he control the students?

So after dinner the next day, the students who saw the news gathered in the auditorium, and everyone was very enthusiastic.

On the one hand, it was for their own safety, and on the other hand, during this period of melee, many students discovered that fists were even more useful than wands!

But how can this work? How can a wizard use fists? So everyone wants to learn some systematic and magical dueling methods.

But it was completely the opposite at the teachers' table. The three deans, Professor McGonagall, Professor Snape and Professor Flitwick, did not look good and did not choose to leave.

In order to take care of the mandrake, Professor Sprout has not come to the auditorium for dinner for a long time.

Although she also knew that Professor Lockhart had done some tricks, she was helpless.

As for the other deans, they were forced to stay for the safety of the students.

Professor Lockhart acted quickly and had already created a gilded stage in the auditorium.

After all, house elves are very easy to handle.

Hundreds of candles floated above the stage, illuminating the ceiling.

Harry looked at the sky, a little curious. Is Professor Lockhart really not afraid of candle oil being poured on his neatly styled hair during the battle?

The auditorium was packed with people, almost all the students in the school came.

The notice on the bulletin board did not mention which professor formed the club, but many students thought of Professor Flitwick as a dueling champion when he was young.

So everyone is full of expectations, hoping to learn more things.

However, after seeing the gold-plated stage, the senior students all showed painful expressions.

They have roughly guessed who organized this club. Only the pompous Professor Lockhart would create such a scene.

"It's over, why him?" Harley heard a fifth-grade senior sister say in pain,

"He hasn't taught me anything this year. I feel like I'm going to get a T in Defense Against the Dark Arts on my O.W.Ls.

Such a professor with no ability holds a duel club, which is a waste of my review time!"

"Is Professor Lockhart here to teach us?" Hermione also heard the senior sister's words, and then looked disappointed.

"No, at least the deans have not left. They can still teach some useful knowledge." Harry pointed to the teacher's chair and comforted Hermione.

"Huh, that's okay." Hermione patted her chest and let out a deep breath.
