Chapter 537 The world of looking at faces
On the corridor to the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, Albert met another group of girls who were whispering about Lockhart's deeds.
“I really don’t understand why girls admire Lockhart so much.” Fred looked at Angelina in front of him who was talking about Lockhart with his friend Alicia, feeling an inexplicable irritation in his heart.
"Because Lockhart is handsome, this is a world that depends on looks." Albert said the cruel reality with a weird look on his face, "If you are as handsome as Lockhart, I believe there will also be a lot of girls who like you."
“People don’t like a person just because he is handsome!” Zannah coughed lightly and interjected: “More people admire Lockhart’s heroic deeds.”
The three of them curled their lips in disdain, expressing doubts about Lockhart's deeds. The Defense Against the Dark Arts professor still has not shown the ability to match his deeds.
"Why don't you worship Harry Potter?" Albert raised his eyebrows and asked: "Potter was the savior who defeated the name that cannot be mentioned and saved the British wizards from dire straits."
“Of course it’s because...Harry isn’t handsome enough.”
"Believe me, if Harry was as handsome as you, he would probably be more popular with girls than Lockhart."
"I think Albert is handsome enough, and his fame and achievements are not inferior to Lockhart's at all. Why don't a lot of girls worship him crazily?" Lee Jordan asked Fred and George Same confusing question.
“Because I have a girlfriend!” Albert said matter-of-factly.
As we all know, Albert already has a girlfriend, and she is also the smartest and most beautiful girl. Girls who like his appearance and fame have no chance. The feeling of being completely crushed by Isobel is not pleasant.
“If Albert doesn’t have a girlfriend, I might consider pursuing him.”
“What a pity, he has a girlfriend, and it’s Isobel!” I don’t know if it was the bold girl who was teasing Albert behind his back.
A few people turned around in surprise and saw several Ravenclaw girls greeting Albert, the female companions around Katrina.
"If you broke up with Isobel that day, you can consider asking me to be your girlfriend." A beautiful girl giggled, shook Albert's hand, and introduced herself, "My name is Lorena Karma. "
“Ahem, I think Isobel is pretty good.” Albert relaxed his handshake with a bit of embarrassment.
“Laurina!”
Katrina glared at her female companion dissatisfiedly, Lorena's idea made her want to laugh.
"I remember that you also like Anderson, why don't you pursue him?" Lorena didn't care about this, "Isobel will graduate earlier than us, and you still have two years to get Albert. "
“Yes, most of the relationships between subordinate couples fade away after they graduate!” Another girl next to Katrina continued to echo. They seemed to want to see Katrina take advantage of her sister.
“I’ll forget it, if you want to try it, go ahead and try it!” Katrina’s face was expressionless, but she was sneering in her heart.
“Are all girls today so bold?” George tried not to laugh out loud. Looking at Albert’s awkward and helpless smile, he felt it was so funny.
“This is an honest attempt to force someone into a corner!”
“What do you think?” George smiled and touched Albert’s waist with his elbow, and asked with a smile.
"Doesn't this mean that I am very popular?" Albert said matter-of-factly.
"Kama, Albert, don't count on me. Do you want to consider me?" Li Jordan raised his finger and pointed at himself and said with a smile.
Fred and George finally couldn't hold it back any longer and burst out laughing, holding their stomachs. The girls in front also turned their heads and cast curious glances.
“Don’t be sad, you just lack some confidence and charm.” Albert patted Lee Jordan on the shoulder and said, “Appearance is secondary.”
“Didn’t you just say that this is a world based on looks?” Li Qiaodan felt that he had been hit by hundreds of millions of points again.
Albert’s words are still to the point!
This is indeed a world where faces are judged.
“Hmph, you have the nerve to laugh at me?” Li Jordan was about to drag his two bad friends into the water, “Don’t think I don’t know...”
Fortunately, Lockhart's Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom has finally arrived.
Albert quietly walked to the seat in the last row and sat down. He took out a Lockhart book from his schoolbag. Other students walked into the classroom chatting, and several girls secretly cast their glances in this direction. An appraising gaze.
“Isobel should be thanked.” Albert muttered. His girlfriend did help to block a lot of trouble.
At least, no girl will appear out of nowhere to confess to him.
After the whole class was seated, Lockhart on the podium did not call anyone by name. Instead, he cleared his throat and began to introduce himself to the class, as if he was worried that some people would not know about his great achievements.
"I," Lockhart said, pointing to the cover photo of "Walking with Trolls," "Gilderoy Lockhart, Order of Merlin, Third Class, honorary member of the League Against the Dark Arts, five-time winner of Wizards Weekly "Most Charming Smile Award... Of course, you don't have to worry about me always talking about this. I don't drive away the female ghosts in Bandung by smiling!"
After Lockhart finished speaking, a brief giggle broke out in the classroom.
"Before class, let's take a short test to see how well you read and how much you have understood... I'll give you thirty minutes." After handing out the papers, Lockhart returned to the podium and said, "Now - start!"
“What’s the point of a little test like this?” Fred asked in a low voice.
“Self-promotion can let other students know about the many ‘great deeds’ he has done.” Albert filled in the test paper quickly.
In this test, Albert finally received a perfect score.
"Perfect points for Mr. Anderson, that's great!" Lockhart said with a smile. "Ten points for Gryffindor."
In the next class, Lockhart began to read the contents of the book aloud to everyone. This teaching method was simply shocking.
Originally, everyone hoped that Professor Lockhart could find some excerpts from these books and provide in-depth and in-depth teaching to everyone. As a result, the Defense Against the Dark Arts class was turned into a reading class.
After class, Fred couldn't help but complained to Angelina: "I want Anderson to give lectures, and he will be ten thousand times better than him."
“Albert is also an admirer of Mr. Lockhart!” Angelina reminded sharply.
“No, you’re overthinking it.” George said gloomily: “I hope Albert can take the time to teach us Defense Against the Dark Arts this year.”
In the last intensive training, the three people's black magic defense level was far behind the students of the same class.
"What are you doing with Professor Lockhart?" Zannah couldn't help but ask after seeing Albert coming back.
"I want an autograph from the forbidden book area." Albert shook the piece of paper signed with flying colors in his hand. Lockhart's handwriting was indeed very good, and it was obvious that the other party had put a lot of effort into it.
“I told him that I wanted to learn more about how vampires overcome blood-sucking and only eat carrots,” Albert said. “I needed to borrow books from the restricted book section, so he agreed and believed that outstanding students should be given preferential treatment.”
