Chapter 615 The source of happiness
At this moment, Snape's face was extremely gloomy, as if someone had just punched him in the face, blackening his face.
His eyes were fixed on the package in front of him, as if the package contained not Valentine's Day chocolates, but a countdown time bomb.
A strange atmosphere suddenly filled the hall, and the surroundings were eerily quiet. Even Lockhart, who had been smiling just now, froze. The Defense Against the Dark Arts professor also noticed the dangerous aura emanating from his colleagues.
The silence only lasted for a while, and sporadic whispers began to appear in the hall, and the sounds became denser like rain falling from the sky.
Everyone is curious about who gave Snape chocolates for Valentine's Day.
This matter will probably become one of the rare unsolved mysteries in Hogwarts.
“I remember that Snape received Valentine’s Day chocolates every year!” Hearing several people nearby discussing this matter in low voices, Albert suddenly said, “Maybe Snape has a girlfriend.”
“No one knows who sent Snape the Valentine’s Day chocolates.” Fred and George both suppressed laughter.
yes!
No one knows who sent the Valentine's Day gift. It is said that there is no signature on the package.
Did Snape ever eat the chocolate in the package?
All right!
At least, Albert didn't care.
After the depressing atmosphere disappeared, Lockhart quickly returned to normal. Just when he was about to open his mouth and continue to say something, another owl flew towards the teacher's chair and threw a package in front of him.
There was also a greeting card attached to the package, which was densely packed with unfamiliar words.
“A gift from a foreign friend?”
Lockhart could not read Italian, but with his experience he quickly found the right words.
“Ahem, okay, I took it upon myself to prepare some little surprises for everyone!” Lockhart clapped his hands.
The teachers and students in the hall soon saw Lockhart's so-called surprise.
From the doors leading to the foyer, twelve dwarfs with gloomy faces strode into the hall. These guys all had golden wings on their backs and carried a harp on their backs.
“This is definitely the ugliest Cupid I have ever seen.” Albert looked at the ugly and rude dwarf and suddenly lost his appetite.
"They should carry bows and arrows, not harps." Zannah complained, obviously agreeing with Albert's point of view. "What is this, a dwarf?"
"Well, they are dwarfs, similar to goblins and house elves. Gnomes are usually very strong and can also use magic." When Lee Jordan explained dwarfs to Shanna, he couldn't help complaining, "I think Ai should be Bert's broken mouth is blocked, his last prediction is probably coming true, and I have a feeling that Lockhart will make Valentine's Day a mess."
However, Lockhart didn't seem to hear the students' complaints and taunts, and said happily: "Our friendly little cupid with greeting cards will be wandering around the school today delivering Valentine's Day cards to you, so don't Shy, you should actively participate in this event!”
When Lockhart said this, several of Albert's roommates looked at him with pity. They all thought that Albert would probably receive a bunch of Valentine's Day cards.
After all, this is a very rare opportunity.
"Of course, if you are interested, you can also ask the professors for their tips. I dare say that no one is more proficient in the charm magic of enchanting people than Professor Flitwick." Lockhart winked at the students present. He showed his signature smile and said, "Of course, you can also ask Professor Snape to teach you how to prepare a love potion. I believe that my colleagues are willing to... enthusiastically..."
Lockhart suddenly shut up. The students who heard the sound turned their heads and saw a large group of owls pouring into the hall.
This scene gave several professors a bad premonition. They thought it was Lockhart's trick again and sent a large group of owls to give themselves Valentine's Day gifts.
Well, in fact, Lockhart also thought that these owls were here to give him Valentine's Day chocolates. His face was already full of smiles, and he was even ready to open his arms to hug them, but soon his face The smile froze.
One owl landed and dropped the package in front of Albert. The second, third, fourth, and fifth owls flapped their wings and landed next to him, squeezing around on the table. Not only did he crush the butter on the plate, knock over the salt shaker on the table, and even drop a feather in the pumpkin porridge, all of them wanted to hand over the package to him.
A large wave of owls, most of them delivered packages to Albert. Lockhart only received a few sporadic packages, and his cheeks couldn't help but twitch.
Well, he had just received a wave of greeting cards, but seeing this scene, he still couldn't help but feel a little jealous.
“You are still so popular!”
Fred looked at the piled packages and couldn't help but sigh.
"I'm going to get out of the way first. You can help me sort out the packages. Unpack whatever you want to eat." Albert noticed Lockhart walking towards this direction, whispered a few instructions to Fred beside him, and then stood up. Get out of the way.
"He's so popular!" Ron's tone was sour, "Even Harry doesn't get such treatment."
"Forget it, I don't want to be so popular!" Harry noticed Lockhart's actions just now, and now he wanted to laugh, and his mood was extremely happy.
"By the way, Hermione, have you given him a gift too?" Ron cast a searching look at Hermione. He knew that Hermione had sent a Valentine's Day card to Albert.
Hermione didn't answer, suddenly becoming very interested in the curriculum in her hand.
Lockhart regretted not being able to catch Albert and take the opportunity to gain a sense of presence. He returned to his teacher's seat and looked through the Valentine's Day chocolates he had received.
“Who knows this kind of writing?” Lockhart asked several colleagues around him.
“It’s a bit like Italian.” Professor McGonagall had traveled to many countries before and knew a lot of languages.
“It should be a gift from a fan.”
Lockhart smiled and opened the package in front of several professors, and found that it was not Valentine's Day chocolate, but a whole block of cheese.
At this moment, Lockhart was a little confused. He couldn't understand why someone would give him cheese on Valentine's Day.
Could it be that they just happened to bump into each other? If it is a coincidence, then it is really such a coincidence.
“This thing looks good. It should be cheese produced in Italy. Would you like some?”
To cover up his embarrassment, Lockhart had already picked up the knife and fork next to him and was about to cut a piece of cheese to taste it.
However, he soon discovered that the table knife could not cut the cheese very well, so he had to pull out his wand and use the cutting spell to cut off a piece of cheese from the whole block.
When Lockhart picked up the piece of cheese and was about to taste it, his eyes were immediately attracted by the milky white, translucent worms on the Casumazu cheese!
Especially when the moving maggot jumped out of the cheese and almost jumped into Lockhart's face, he was so frightened that he threw the piece of cheese away and couldn't help but scream.
ah!
The hall suddenly became eerily silent. All attention was drawn to Lockhart who screamed. The students looked towards the teacher's seat, trying to figure out what happened.
Why did Professor Lockhart suddenly scream?
A muscle on Professor McGonagall's cheek bulged, as if she wanted to smile. What's even more amazing is that most of the gloom on Snape's face has disappeared. He is looking at Lockhart's cheese curiously, with an extremely strange expression.
As for Professor Flitwick, he poked the maggots on the cheese with a knife and said to Lockhart, "Maybe this cheese is a specialty of Italy."
Lockhart finally regained his composure and looked unhappy. He realized that he had just lost his composure. After hearing what Professor Flitwick said, he said loudly, "I didn't expect that people in Italy like to eat cheese with worms like this. I don't know how they can swallow it."
