HP: I’m working on redemption at Hogwarts

Chapter 61 New Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts



At the opening dinner, Qiu Zhang almost thought that Harry and Ron were going to be expelled. It was not until the end of the dinner that the two of them followed Professor McGonagall into the Gryffindor table in despair. , Qiu Zhang felt relieved.

But even if you look away, you can still hear the voices of George and Fred laughing and teasing Ron wildly...

……

In the new year's Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Hogwarts has a new professor due to Professor Quirrell's special circumstances - Gilderoy Lockhart!

He is a very famous adventurer in the entire magical world and an outstanding graduate of Ravenclaw with a high level of knowledge. Qiu Zhang, like most girls, cannot help but have curiosity and expectations for him...

"Hi, my lovely little classmates! Let me introduce myself, 'Oh... do you still need an introduction?' Maybe you will think so, but yes, I have to introduce myself formally..."

Teacher Lockhart walked elegantly into the classroom wearing a light yellow dress with complex patterns like a dress.

"I am your new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, Gilderoy Lockhart!"

Hearing the sudden rise in the tone of his name, all the female students in the audience looked at Professor Lockhart with admiration and applauded fiercely.

Even Qiu Zhang, who was relatively calm, seemed a little excited. Naturally, he was looking forward to and admiring this famous professor who had an elegant appearance and graduated from the same school...

"I can't stand it anymore. I would rather be poisoned by Professor Quirrell's poison than watch this greasy man teach us here!"

Fred stared at Lockhart with a dissatisfied look on his face. He put his hands around his neck in a distressed manner and pretended to be suffocated, sticking out his tongue and twisting his neck...

George was not much better. Seeing that Qiu Zhang was attracted to the vulgar and pink-faced Lockhart like other female classmates, he couldn't help but rolled his eyes at Lockhart and walked away, no longer watching him talk to himself on the stage. Self-talking “speech”!

"OK, then I think you all should buy my complete set of books, so let's do a quiz today!"

After Professor Lockhart finished speaking, the boys in the class immediately fell down with their heads down, not like they were facing an exam at all. The girls were all a little nervous or looking forward to it, eager to have the professor notice their expressions.

The exam begins...

Qiu Zhang looked at the question in his hand, and the more he did it, the more something was wrong. There was no knowledge about Defense Against the Dark Arts in this entire paper. Instead, it was all about Lockhart's private information...

Like what color he likes, his deeds, the commendations he has received, etc...

Although Qiu Zhang does know all these, after all, he has studied all his books, and that's all for a storybook...

Soon, Qiu Zhang finished answering the entire paper, handed it to Professor Lockhart, and then turned back to his seat with a frown on his face and an uncomfortable expression.

Lockhart may have thought that Qiu Zhang had failed to answer the test paper well, so he comforted her rather gently.

"It's okay. If you can't answer the question, we'll do our best next time!"

[Next time, don’t say goodbye... Please give me more questions about serious magic knowledge...]

Qiu Zhang was really speechless. It turned out that someone could really make her change her view of him in less than half an hour.

It was obvious that this Lockhart was a very informal professor, and such a self-centered and irresponsible professor was really uncomfortable.

Now Qiu Zhang has completely lost the so-called charm of Professor Lockhart...

When the exam time was over, all students' papers were collected by Professor Lockhart, whether they were willing to finish or not, and he soon finished grading everyone's papers.

"I'm so sad. I remember that my favorite color is lilac, but there's only one student, Akiuchi!"

Professor Lockhart sighed, raised his eyes to Qiu Zhang and winked, thinking he was charming. Qiu Zhang suddenly stiffened in response, pursed his lips in discomfort, and resisted the urge to roll his eyes and looked away. .

"Oh, he's so charming, isn't he?"

Marietta stared blankly as if she couldn't recover from Lockhart's win for a long time. Qiu Zhang froze stiffly, and nodded with Marietta with an awkward smile.

George and Fred seemed to notice the change in Qiu Zhang and couldn't help but snicker. I saw George folding a little frog with the paper on the table, stretched out his magic wand and cast a spell. He pinched the butt of the paper frog and ejected it. The paper frog jumped and jumped intelligently and ran to Qiu Zhang's table. .

Just as Qiu Zhang was about to open it, Lockhart slapped the paper frog on the table into flat pieces of paper.

Qiu Zhang curled his fingers in embarrassment and took his hand back under the table. Lockhart smiled with interest and slowly opened the paper frog. Inside, Professor Lockhart's ghostly animal drawings were comically drawn with a quill, and the words "Greasy Wink" were written next to it.

Qiu Zhang saw the content inside, and felt even more embarrassed for a moment. Marietta next to her couldn't really see it, and looked at Qiu Zhang with eyes full of care! As expected, Professor Lockhart started to find trouble.

"Classmate Qiuzhang, we were supposed to learn the Unforgivable Curses today. Can you tell me which ones they are?"

"Of course, Professor. There are three types in total, namely the Killing Curse, the Cruciatus Curse and the Imperius Curse!"

Hearing Qiu Zhang's perfect answer to his question without even a trace of hesitation, Lockhart, although dissatisfied, could only let her sit down, and then he manually tore George's paper frog into pieces.

…After finally finishing Lockhart’s signature Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Qiu Zhang felt physically and mentally exhausted, and had no interest in anything.

Help, when will Hogwarts hire a normal and responsible Defense Against the Dark Arts professor...

Qiu Zhang dragged his tired body and slowly walked out of the classroom with his textbooks in his arms. He saw two conspicuous bags of the Weasley twins dangling in front of his eyes.

"Oh, what a charming professor!"

"Wow, this is my outstanding senior from Ravenclaw..."

George and Fred imitated Cho Chang's initial admiration for Lockhart and acted in an exaggerated manner in front of Cho Chang. Qiu Zhang could not help but feel a chill all over his body, and he angrily stretched out his hand to give each of them a slap on the forehead.

"How could I be that exaggerated?"

Seeing the two men nodding with a confident expression, Qiu Zhang sighed helplessly.

"Okay, I have to admit, this Professor Lockhart is simply a different kind of Ravenclaw to us!"

Qiu Zhang shook his head, firmly expressing that his dissatisfaction with Lockhart's teaching methods had reached its peak at this moment.

Just thinking about staying with this greasy and confident professor for another three years makes me feel an unspeakable chill all over my body...

Qiu Zhang was sure that the Defense Against the Dark Arts course he was least proficient in at Hogwarts was the one he learned almost entirely on his own!
