Chapter 128 Preparation, start of performance!
When Lockhart first decided to let his students act out the scenes described in his book, he considered it "the honor that the students longed for."
After spending half a month realizing that all the students hated this model, he came to his senses and decided to use it as a way to disgust people. At the same time, he also did not forget to watch the food being served - he was too stubborn to be picky. The background is too hard to pick.
When Lockhart looked at DeWitt with warm eyes, DeWitt immediately had a bad feeling - yes, when Lockhart thought it was an honor, he would never consider DeWitt , now knowing that this can be disgusting, he clapped his hands and said:
"Ask Mr. Walder to play the troll today!"
I didn’t forget to say one more thing: “This is an abnormal surname.”
He continued to add: "And I...come to play myself. Okay, come on up."
Now the pressure is on DeWitt's side.Harry and Ron turned around to look at each other sympathetically, with smiles on their lips. Hermione covered her mouth and also laughed secretly. While laughing, she encouraged: "Go, go quickly, I want to see how you play a troll, okay?"
The twins could definitely do this kind of thing, and they could definitely stir up the atmosphere and make it heated, but DeWitt couldn't. He suddenly felt envious of the twins, and then he felt bored - he really didn't want to go up there.This is so disgusting, is it to become famous or make a fool of yourself?
What the hell was Lockhart thinking?DeWitt didn't realize for a moment that this was revenge.People are always like this, and suffering will not affect the bad things they have forgotten. He faced Lockhart's still blazing smile and said politely: "Professor, I'm not good at this thing. Can you replace me with someone else?"
Hermione, who was sitting at the same table, quietly poked DeWitt's leg under the table to show her dissatisfaction. DeWitt glared at her with a cold face, but she was not afraid at all. She just wanted to watch it for fun - because DeWitt always behaved in front of outsiders. He has a calm and intangible expression of joy and anger, and no matter how violent the emotional changes in his heart are, he will not express it in words. So if he plays a role in a comedy, will he see another form of DeWitt?The thought of this made Hermione even more interested, and she continued her efforts.
At this time, Lockhart pretended to be generous and said: "Maybe your talent is not good..."
What talent?Is it because the talent for learning magic is not good?DeWitt's eyebrows sank and he suppressed the anger in his eyes. He was not sure whether Lockhart's words were malicious or not.
"You can't be as dazzling as me, but it doesn't matter. You should start to improve from bold performances," Lockhart said in a passionate tone, thinking that DeWitt had a good angle: "Come on, come up, a suitable one." Roles are rare. Having me as your opponent will also allow you to learn a lot from my rich experience in fighting against black magic. You know - I am a member of the Defense Against Dark Arts Alliance and a third-level medalist of the Order of Merlin. By!"
Malice hidden in beautiful words is also malice. Lockhart's poor words are as bad as him. DeWitt changed his mind and continued to refuse. Look at Hermione again - isn't it just to fulfill a small wish, that simple, too easy.
DeWitt left his seat and walked onto the podium. He lost all respect for the professor in his tone and said extremely casually: "Okay, then you are really awesome. Then tell me what you want me to do." ."
Lockhart seemed to be unable to hear any subtext, and the expression on his face did not change. This was a unique skill. He said, "You must have read my book "Walking with Trolls", right? "
Although Lockhart is a cjb, DeWitt did read his book. Rationally speaking, apart from the large amount of self-praising in the book, after careful analysis and summary, some useful knowledge can still be extracted, so he Said: "Look."
"That's great," said Lockhart cheerfully. "We're going to act out the seventh scene, the one I'm most proud of. There's a lot of truth and profound knowledge in it, and the rest of the boys are listening. Okay - you have already missed the opportunity to participate in person, but don’t miss the opportunity to appreciate it again..."
"Excuse me!" DeWitt interrupted Lockhart impatiently: "What is the seventh act about?"
"It seems that our little actor doesn't remember the script well," Lockhart said, thinking he was humorous, and smiled at the other students. The other students were indeed laughing, but they were laughing because they were enjoying watching their classmates.
"Then let me help you recall that legendary scene again," Lockhart raised his head and chest, waved the wand vigorously with one hand, held the crest of the book flat with one hand and raised it in front of his chest, saying like a priest at mass. The prayer says: "Gilderoy Lockhart - that's me - faced the giant monster who failed to negotiate, and heroically protected the ignorant local village children. I - that's Gilderoy Lockhart in the book Special——I first used a powerful armor spell to block the giant monster’s first swing..."
"That swipe was hard and fast. I'm not exaggerating the power of the troll - just the sound of breaking through the air scared the country kids to paralysis, but my armor spell blocked it. It's a very useful spell, you guys We all have to learn..."
There was a young female Lockhart fan who was completely immersed in Lockhart's narration and asked loudly: "What then?"
"Then I will lure away the trolls," Lockhart said, admiring the little girl with encouraging eyes: "Use my smile - my smile can even infect the trolls..."
Ron whispered to Harry, "It's like a virus."
Harry couldn't help but laugh.
"It seems that our savior Harry also has his own smile -" Lockhart happily asked Harry to stand up: "But laughing so loudly is not acceptable, the troll will think it is mockery, come and learn from me - Showing eight teeth like this...Didn't Mr. Potter brush his teeth this morning?"
Now half of the grade knew that Harry woke up too late and didn't have time to wash up.
"Don't worry about the others, professor," the fan shouted again, "just keep telling your story."
"Of course." Lockhart said: "Then I lured the troll away and communicated with the troll - the troll can understand some human words, but before speaking human words that can be understood, there must be certain conditions. The process——that is to conquer it with powerful magic!”
Not only the fans, but also most of the students present were emotionally aroused.
"Is there any key point in dealing with trolls?" Lockhart was satisfied with the atmosphere of the scene. He said mysteriously: "I only mentioned it in the book and only taught it in class. Those who don't read my book are not my fans. You can't know these secrets - that is, you can't use magic spells directly on the troll!"
DeWitt, who was also standing on the podium, tried hard to control himself from yawning - is it useful to deal with trolls?He thought idly about things that could be beaten to death with a stick.
