[HP] Being a problem student at Hogwarts

At breakfast on February 14, everyone became aware of Lockhart's "pretty sure" method of boosting morale.

The moment every student entered the auditorium, they thought they had made a mistake - the entire hall had been decorated with a Valentine's Day theme - which was not very aesthetically pleasing. This means that the four walls are covered with large flowers of various shades of red, even with a flashing pink halo, trying to blind the eyes of everyone who sees them. There are also many heart-shaped confetti and shiny colored powder constantly falling from the light blue ceiling. Sitting in the corner were twelve dwarfs with ferocious looks, gloomy faces, and small golden wings on their backs, playing the harp in a sawing posture.

Tom felt his eyes and ears insulted at the same time.

"Merlin's pantyhose..." Ron sat down dumbfounded and brushed the confetti off his head impatiently.

"What's going on?" Harry asked.

They didn't have to rack their brains to think of an answer. Lockhart, wearing a bright pink robe, stood up with a smile on his face and said eagerly to everyone: "Everyone! Happy Valentine's Day!"

He happily threw winks and blew kisses in all directions, while the teachers sitting opposite him all had serious faces. Professor McGonagall clenched her teeth so hard that the muscles in her cheeks bulged. And Snape looked as if he was being forced to drink a mug of the most failed potion brewed by a student.

Lockhart turned a blind eye to everyone's mournful expressions and continued to announce loudly and joyfully: "So far, forty-five people have sent me greeting cards. Please allow me to express my gratitude to them! Yes, I I took it upon myself to arrange this little surprise for everyone today – don’t be too touched – and it’s not just that!”

He turned to the ferocious dwarves and applauded enthusiastically. The dwarves stood up reluctantly, still holding their harps in their hands, and bowed to everyone, but their faces became uglier than the last.

"Let's welcome our friendly little Cupids with greeting cards with a round of applause!" said Lockhart cheerfully. "They will be wandering around the school today helping every love in their heart. Shy friends who can’t express themselves send heartfelt Valentine’s Day cards!”

"I think those dwarves wanted to smash his head in with their harps," Ron complained.

Tom strongly suspected that Lockhart forcibly recruited these dwarves by modifying his memory, and deliberately did not completely correct the sense of disobedience, and he watched with interest as these dwarves did as they were told in a confused and reluctant manner—— This is exactly what that bad-tempered guy could do.

"The fun doesn't end there!" Lockhart's "surprise" speech was not over yet. "I believe that my colleagues are also very willing to actively participate and add a little color to our tense and boring campus life - why not Can Professor Snape teach you how to make Ecstasy? If you're interested, Professor Flitwick is more versed in the magic of enchantment than any wizard I've ever met, that cunning old dog!"

Lockhart burst out laughing, seemingly amused.

The two professors whose names he called were not so happy - Professor Flitwick buried his face in his hands, hating for the first time that he was not short enough to hide under the table; and Snape His expression seemed to be that he was trying his best not to stand up, pinch Lockhart's neck, and force him to drink a whole bottle of Silence Potion.

"I have never seen anyone go so far on the road to death." Ron whispered to them, "Look at Snape's expression. I think if Lockhart can survive until dinner time, It’s a miracle.”

When they left the hall to go to class, they discovered that the same enchanting and swaying large pink flowers were growing on the walls of the main passage of the entire school. The dynamic and flashing pink halo emitted by those flowers hit the red carpet laid on the ground. On the top, the light and shadow of large and small hearts are formed, which can be said to be very Valentine's Day atmosphere.

Throughout the day, the dwarfs kept breaking into their classrooms and delivering Valentine's Day cards and messages, which annoyed the teachers. Unfortunately, even Snape's cold face could not stop the dwarfs who acted as the gods of love. ——"Maybe love really makes people blind." by Ron, the king of complaints today.

During the last class in the afternoon, the Gryffindor students were about to go upstairs to Charms class when a tired dwarf suddenly chased Harry.

"Hey! You! Harry Potter!" The dwarf with a particularly ugly face shouted rudely, elbowed everyone away, and squeezed towards Harry.

"Run!" Ron mouthed to Harry.

Harry wanted to run away too - just like every student who was forced to receive a Valentine's Day card in public. But before he could take two steps away, the irritable little man kicked people's calves and caught up with him. Even the tripping spell that Tom calmly cast did not stop it - the dwarf's magic resistance surprised Tom, although this was also related to the fact that magic was not allowed in the corridor, and Tom output very little magic in order to keep the movement quiet.

"I have a message with music that I want to deliver to Harry Potter personally." the dwarf said, and plucked the harp with a fierce gesture.

"Not here," Harry said in a low voice, still trying to escape.

"Stand still!" the dwarf said angrily, hooked the strap of his schoolbag, and sang regardless:

"His eyes were as green as freshly pickled clams—"

It's over. Harry thought desperately, trying desperately to pull back his bag, but the dwarf was small but very strong.

Tom took out his wand and pointed at the dwarf's hand: "Relax!"

The dwarf gave up his strength and sat down on the ground. The tone of the second line of the lyrics changed because of this: "He is as black and handsome as a blackboard~"

Harry grabbed his schoolbag and ran away quickly. He didn't want to know what the rest of the lyrics were. These two sentences were enough for him to digest for a whole year. 7K妏揩

The dwarf wanted to get up to chase it, but Ron awkwardly bent down to hug it, and they got into a ball with the dwarf, rolling around on the ground.

"Let me do it -" Before Tom could finish speaking, Ron shouted nervously: "No! Points will be deducted for doing magic in the corridor!"

"No fighting in the corridors!" Percy shouted angrily at his worried brother as he dispersed the crowd.

"Ah ha," Malfoy gloated to Ginny in the crowd, "I don't think Potter liked your Valentine's Day gift very much!"

Ginny, who was suddenly called, sobbed and covered her face, turned around and ran away.

Ron roared like an angry lion, kicked the dwarf away, and took out his wand from his pocket.

"No magic - in the corridor!" Percy yelled at Ron even more irritably, "Go after Ginny! Class is about to begin!"

"And you! Malfoy..." Percy gritted his teeth and glared at him, "Stop chirping like a lively sparrow!"

Malfoy stalked off, and Ron hurried after Ginny.

Seeing that the fun here was over, the students in the corridor dispersed and heard the dwarf's rough voice coming from elsewhere: "I have a Valentine's Day card that I want to personally deliver to XXX." Then the students cheered again. Went to watch.

"Everyone's running around!" Percy complained angrily as he chased the dwarf away. "I'm not going to say anything wrong with the professor. Professor Lockhart was really a little thoughtless today."

"The whole school is in chaos..." He hurriedly went to stop another onlooker incident.

"Everyone is running around?" Tom stood on the stairs and took a look around.

Percy was right. The whole campus was in a mess. Some people were running around to watch the fun, and some were trying to escape and hide in annoyance. Even the professors' attention was mostly focused on those annoying "little cupids" - -On the one hand, it's because they always come out to disrupt order, and on the other hand, it's because there are greeting cards and messages delivered directly to the professors.

This is probably Lockhart's purpose. It's easy to fish in troubled waters. He muddied the water as soon as he made a move. It was easy to do anything in the chaos... What will happen next?

Tom couldn't figure out what Lockhart was planning, and walked to class worried.

He met Neville at the door of the classroom, who was stroking the pink flowers on the wall anxiously.

"Hi, Neville," Tom greeted him, "This isn't a very nice decoration, is it?"

"Ah... ah?" Neville suddenly woke up, "Oh, I'm not thinking about this..." He touched the thin vines under the flowers, "I was thinking... this plant actually has some Like ivy, it will cause damage to the wall, and in severe cases, it can cause the wall to break and collapse. You see, its vines have penetrated into the gaps in the wall, and it may also attract insects-"

"What did you say?" Tom asked in shock and anger, "The last sentence!"

Neville was startled: "Uh...like an ivy?"

"No, the second part!" Tom asked.

"Will it cause damage to the wall?" Neville stammered as he recalled, "In severe cases, it may cause the wall to crack and collapse——"

There's a fucking basilisk inside the wall!

"FXXX!" Tom said through gritted teeth, "Is Professor Flitwick in the classroom?"

"No, no," Neville said timidly, "He hasn't come yet... Did I say something wrong?"

"No, you've been a big help." Tom said quickly, taking off his schoolbag and handing it to Neville, "Hold it for me. I have to go find the professor. It's urgent - tell the students to leave the castle!"

"Ah?" Neville stood dumbfounded, "Why? Is there going to be an earthquake?"

"It's worse than that!" Tom shouted at last, dashing towards the nearest Charms office.
