Hogwarts: I am Harry's Cousin

137 Chapter 135. Then pretend to be dead

Neville, who was named by Lockhart, looked confused.

I'm just here to watch a show, what's the matter with me?

Seeing that Neville didn't respond for a long time, Lockhart thought he was afraid, so he comforted him: "Don't be afraid, young man. I won't hit hard."

‘It’s really too much to deal with the professor, but this time it’s definitely okay. ’ thought Lockhart.

It is not without reason that he chose Neville. Neville is a member of the disciplinary team. First of all, he has a reputation. In fact, he must not be too strong. According to Lockhart's information, this little wizard named Neville Longbottom is a very Cowardly, crying guy, easy to deal with the key and very obedient, very suitable for himself as an 'experimental material'.

Hmm. His source was Seamus of Gryffindor a year ago.

As for Neville's final grade of the first grade, which was sixth in the grade, he didn't think about it at all.

What's so special about being sixth in grade, he was Ravenclaw's first grader when Lockhart was studying.

In fact, he has also considered Harry. In terms of fame, the entire Hogwarts must be Harry Potter. But he dare not try it lightly. What if Potter is really strong? Lockhart still takes the rumors from Slytherin very seriously. Being defeated by Snape with a spell can be used as a demonstration to explain it. If he is defeated by a second-year wizard, he will be humiliated. Even if he is the famous Harry Potter.

He came here to gain popularity and attention, not to find shame.

Lockhart didn't want others to step on his fame.

Selling novels to earn Galleons is the most important thing.

Of course, it would be even better if you can sell shampoo along the way.

"Come on, come up and come face to face with me." Walking over, Lockhart pushed Neville, but he didn't push.

'Look, the body is tense and stiff. As long as you are on stage, you won't let yourself decide when the time comes? As long as I make a little demonstration, I can attract a lot of attention again. '

He hurriedly pushed Neville onto the stage.

Neville and Lockhart?

The members of the disciplinary team all showed strange expressions.

Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, Neville is the least valued member of the disciplinary team, a purely make-up one.

As Neville himself said, he doesn't like to be in the limelight, and he belongs to the outlier in Gryffindor. Practice spells.

But if you think Neville is easy to bully, then you are dead wrong.

His progress visible to the naked eye is obvious to all members of the disciplinary team.

Not only the disciplinary team, but even Snape and Flitwick had strange expressions on their faces. They all gave Neville extra lessons. Maybe Neville's talent wasn't the best, but he was the most down-to-earth and hardworking. Stock strength, making progress all the time.

"First thing, bow to Neville. That's fine." Lockhart, who was standing on the same stage with Neville, taught him very patiently. In his eyes, Neville was already extremely nervous at this moment.

Don't mention how happy I am.

That's right.

After a while, it's time to play by yourself.

The two held their wands upright in front of their chests.

Then

one two three

As Flitwick's voice fell, Neville and Lockhart raised their wands at the same time again.

"Look, like this"

"Destroying Weapons"

The words of the two were shouted almost at the same time, but Lockhart still wanted to continue pretending to show Neville how to use the Disarming Curse to save the face he just lost from Snape. The key to Wu De's direct attack was the Disarming Curse Snape just used.

The same red light as Snape appeared again.

With a whoosh, Lockhart flew upside down, flew out of the stage as before - hit the wall - slowly slid down - bowed his body - curled up in a ball, without a trace of procrastination.

quiet.

quiet

Everyone stared blankly at the scene in front of them, their mouths slightly opened to express their shock.

At this moment, the space seemed to be paused.

Is this still the same Longbottom who stuttered when he spoke?

Like Professor Snape, a spell that defeated Professor Lockhart?

"Longbottom's spell just now."

"Like Professor Snape."

After a while, the little wizards slowly started discussing.

Released the Disarming Curse without a trace of hesitation!

He is obviously in the second grade, why can he be so proficient?

"Longbottom has joined the disciplinary team."

whispered the Slytherin student.

"I knew it. I was often with Mr. Potter, Mr. Dursley and Miss Granger. Longbottom must have secretly studied with them."

"Following them, even if you learn a little bit, it will benefit you for a long time."

"There is an old saying in the ancient East, if you stay with a pig for a long time, you will turn red."

The little wizards around showed a relieved look.

Although I don't quite understand what the last sentence means, but if it's Mr. Dursley and the others, then it's right.

Reasonable and convincing.

But after thinking about it, Longbottom can do this, so if it was them, wouldn't it?

Many young wizards looked at Dudley and the others with fiery eyes again.

No one wants to be great.

Longbottom was lucky enough to be chosen by the disciplinary team.

"It is obvious that Professor Lockhart is not ready yet, and it was Longbottom who made the sudden move."

Seeing the one-sided battle again, Lockhart's supporters are still supporting him, and trying to find excuses to comfort himself, stubborn like a stone in a toilet.

"Come on, they're dueling. It's not a child's game. Don't they have to shout before releasing the spell, are you ready?"

"Besides, both Longbottom and Professor Lockhart have already bowed, which means that it has already begun."

Lockhart's opponents immediately countered.

Lockhart supporter: "Professor is pathetic. He fainted, what else do you want?"

Don't listen to bastard chant scriptures.

Anyway, it is impossible for them to admit that idols are too useless.

Lockhart opponents: "."

OK, you cow!

As for Lockhart himself, this time he didn't get up from the ground again, he was so thick-skinned that he didn't know how to explain it, and fainting was the best choice at this time.

Is it careless or not flashing?

Choose another one?

What if we lose again?

Since you can't find a way, just keep pretending to be dead.

Regardless of whether he is really dizzy or fake dizziness, dizziness is right anyway.

Someone will figure it out and explain it to him.

"Professor Lockhart must have suffered too much injury from the test of the spell just now, and now he is unable to support himself and fainted. We should send him to Madam Pomfrey immediately."

look.

Several young wizards in the senior grades hurriedly set up Lockhart and walked towards the school doctor's office.

I don't know whether they did it on purpose or not, but when they supported him, their head was just tilted to one side. When passing by the side door, Lockhart's head hit the edge of the door hard.

The incomparably clear and muffled impact sound entered everyone's ears.

"You guys take it easy!"

Lockhart supporters grumbled.
