Chapter 536 The secret is revealed
The first Defense Against the Dark Arts class of the new semester spread quickly in the school, and Lockhart's poor teaching standards were completely exposed in front of everyone.
Everyone knows what kind of person this new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is, especially the so-called quiz in the first class, which really left most students speechless.
There is no way, Lockhart is not a galleung, and he cannot be liked by everyone.
Although many students admire Lockhart because of his deeds, there are also many boys who hate and are jealous of him.
Gossip and cynicism are always inevitable, but no one dares to say them openly. After all, there were far more students who admired Lockhart than those who hated him, and the girls were very strong in battle at certain times.
“Speaking of which, what have you been watching since just now?”
Lee Jordan, who was checking his holiday homework, looked at Albert who was flipping through the papers and couldn't help but ask.
"Lockhart's test questions." Albert said, gently shaking the three test papers.
“You are cheating.” Fred and George both turned their heads and said sternly.
“We want to see it too!” the three of them said in unison.
They had all heard from other students that Lockhart liked to do quizzes in his first class.
“Speaking of which, where did you get the test questions?” Lee Jordan asked.
"I got the test questions with the help of a Hufflepuff friend. They took Defense Against the Dark Arts class before us, so I asked him to make a copy for me." Albert noticed the doubtful looks of the three people and smiled. Then he said, "The content is the same anyway, you will know it by yourself."
Speaking, Albert distributed the three test papers to Fred, George and Lee Jordan respectively.
“What is Gilderoy Lockhart’s favorite color?”
George's eyes widened and he read out softly, "What the **** is this test? You are indeed right."
“Lilac color.”
Albert said without thinking, "It was mentioned in "A Year with XZ Snowman"."
“You actually know the answer.”
The three of them looked at Albert in shock, as if they had seen something terrible.
"You...you are also an admirer of Lockhart, right?" George murmured, "It's not like that! You don't look like that kind of person."
“What kind of person?”
"what you up to?"
According to the three people's understanding of Albert, the possibility that Albert is Lockhart's admirer is directly ruled out. The only possibility left is that Albert wants to cause trouble.
Thinking of this, the three of them couldn't help but feel pity for Lockhart.
Professor Quirrell last semester was so speechless that he died suddenly in the basement due to a few words from Albert.
It’s so miserable.
Speaking of which, last time Lockhart was sent to the campus hospital by Albert, could it be...
The three of them looked at Albert with strange eyes.
"Nothing." Fred coughed slightly and asked quickly, "What do you want to do?"
"I didn't want to do anything." Albert took back all the test questions, "I just need Lockhart's signed note so that I can borrow a book from the restricted area."
“To borrow books from the restricted book area, do you still need signatures from professors?”
The looks of the three of them became even weirder, and they were convinced that their roommate was going to take this opportunity to cause trouble.
There is no other way. As we all know, when Albert borrows books, he always goes to the restricted book area late at night, directly picks the lock and "borrows" the book, and there is no need for the professor's signature.
How would the three of them know that Albert had no choice but to ask for Lockhart's signature? The professors' signatures were needed to complete the panel task.
So, Albert was going to learn from Hermione, and he found a reason casually to get a signature from Lockhart to sign the restricted book area, and then complete the "Magic Forbidden Area" task that had been put aside for a long time.
Of course, Fred, George and Lee Jordan were not wrong. Albert really wanted to do something.
Last time, when I was healing the Whomping Willow, I got a new panel task.
The name of the task is: Exposing the secret.
Your Defense Against the Dark Arts professor does not seem to match the abilities and knowledge described in his book. He seems to be hiding some unknown secrets. Reveal the secrets and let everyone see his true face.
Current progress: 3%
Reward: 1,000-10,000 experience points, 1 skill point, a designated skill obtained from the mission target, Dumbledore's favorability +15, and a designated character's favorability +10.
Albert knew what Lockhart’s biggest secret was, but it was not easy to find evidence.
To be honest, Lockhart is really good at managing himself, which even Albert admires.
Although it is indeed shameless, there is no shortage of shameless people in this world. It is really difficult for ordinary wizards to be able to charm those middle-aged women like Lockhart. It is definitely not just about his handsome appearance. It can be done.
“I’m suddenly looking forward to the Defense Against the Dark Arts class!”
"You won't expect it." Ron, who was repairing his wand with magic tape, said with a gloomy face, "When we were in Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Lockhart released the Cornish elf. It was so... It sucks.”
“It’s time for you to change your wand,” Hermione reminded.
“And another howler letter?” Ron said angrily, stuffing his wand into his backpack.
“Actually, Ron can borrow money from you to buy a wand.” Lee Jordan suddenly said, “With his wand, he probably won’t have to go to class this semester.”
“We don’t have Galleons to lend him.” Fred and George looked at each other and said dryly, “That money was given to us by Albert for research, and we will not misappropriate it at will.”
There are some things that Fred and George know very well how to do.
"Ron can actually go to Potter to borrow money. Harry Potter is actually not short of money." Albert suddenly said, "With their relationship, they can just write an IOU and pay it back when they find a job after graduation. "
In fact, it is best not to involve money issues among friends.
Fred and George are obviously very aware of this, and will pay special attention to this aspect, so they will never waste Albert’s Galleons carelessly. They will keep detailed records of where the Galleons go.
Once you lose this purest trust, it will be difficult to be like this in the future.
“Let’s go to the Defense Against the Dark Arts class.” Lee Jordan felt a little guilty.
The galleons given by Albert were misappropriated by Lee Jordan to sell snacks and toys. Although he had made up for it with his own pocket money, he still felt ashamed after hearing what Fred and George said. , he really didn't take it as seriously as Fred and George did.
Although Lee Jordan knew that Albert didn't care about these things at all, the money meant everyone's dream to them.
