Chapter 506: Restricted Section Pass
"Still not apologizing—"
Peeves pulled her face, and the little witch left in tears.
Xiang Xien silently waved his wand, and the little witch's hat at least floated back.
"Tha-thank you."
The little witch cried like a tearful person.
"Sorry."
Xiang Xien said.
Then he watched for a good while, slightly doubting whether letting Peeves help was the right decision.
Morning.
Sunlight spilled onto the castle towers, and Hogwarts was waking up rapidly.
The Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom became noisy again, and the young wizards chattered as they entered.
Ever since the disaster with the pixies, Lockhart no longer brought living creatures into the classroom.
Now, he read his books to the students in long passages, and sometimes acted out some dramatic segments.
He had chosen Xiang Xien, but was rejected.
Currently, he generally chose Harry to assist him in reenacting the scenes.
As of now, the roles Harry had been forced to play included: a simple Transylvanian villager who had been hit by a bubble-head charm and cured by Lockhart; and a vampire who, ever since Lockhart dealt with it, ate nothing but radishes.
In this Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Harry was dragged to the front again, this time to play a werewolf.
When Harry was performing, Luo En's face was also flushed red like a radish, and Hermione reminded Luo En helplessly:
"Luo En, Harry is already very miserable."
"Alright, look, Harry is about to let out a wolf howl."
Luo En said, stifling a laugh.
Hermione's face tightened instantly, a faint arc appearing at the corner of her mouth.
Harry was gritting his teeth on the podium.
He originally didn't want to cooperate, but Jia Siting suddenly told him there was a very important reason to keep Lockhart in a good mood.
"Good howl, Harry! Just like it! Then, believe it or not, I lunged forward, just like this, bang, and tackled him down.
Then like this, I pinned him to the ground with one hand, held my wand with the other, and pressed it against his throat—then I caught my breath and used the remaining strength to cast a very complex Homorphus Charm.
He let out a miserable groan—Harry, keep howling—higher—very good!"
Hermione finally couldn't hold her face and laughed out loud.
Luo En was also giggling on the side.
Neville was still looking at his "Standard Book of Spells," and next to that book were Xiang Xien's notes.
Harry's torture finally ended.
The bell rang, and Lockhart stood up.
"Homework: write a poem about my victory over the Wagga Wagga Werewolf! The best one will receive several copies of 'Magical Me' signed by the author!"
At this moment, Xiang Xien knew the opportunity had come.
He silently approached, but discovered an unexpected figure here.
"Professor Lockhart,"
Jia Siting said naturally,
"I want to borrow this book from the library, you know, the knowledge involved in your books is too rich."
"My dear Mr. Finnegan, my fan, of course you can!"
Lockhart said, while taking the slip from Jia Siting's hand, and giving him a very enthusiastic smile,
"You, Mr. Green, and Ms. Hermione, are all good children who scored full marks—I'll give you another one, this—"
He signed a large, flowery name on the slip, and then signed "Voyages with Vampires."
When Jia Siting closed the book, Xiang Xien saw a slip on it that had been cast with a Disillusionment Charm, which had just been lifted and appeared.
Xiang Xien glanced at Jia Siting, and the group left in a hurry with tacit understanding.
