Harry Potter Raven's Claw

Chapter 74: First Encounter with Lockhart

Mike did not wander around Hogwarts, but went directly back to Ravenclaw's tower. Although it was not a big deal for Mike to stay up all night last night, it was best to catch up on some sleep.

But when Mike came to the Eagle Beak knocker, he found a person already waiting there.

Lockhart was wearing a turquoise dress today. The golden hair on his head must have been smoothed by using a lot of detangler. He also had a book under his arm. It seemed that he had just finished class.

It was only when Mike walked in that he saw the title of the book clearly: "Walking with Ghouls". What was strange was that the iconic smile that usually hung on Lockhart's face was gone, replaced by

A troubled look.

"Okay, okay! Let's do it again! I will get the answer right this time!" Lockhart said firmly.

"Excuse me, what are the words that are often used in ancient magic texts to improve the stability of spells?" The voice of the eagle-headed door knocker came over without any emotion.

Lockhart's expression became very stiff upon hearing this, and he hesitated for a while before replying:

"Uh..., Axis?"

"mistake!"

"Alder!"

"mistake!"

"Okay! I don't know!" Lockhart finally couldn't bear it after making several mistakes in succession. "You damn knocker is still so annoying! Let me in!"

With a ferocious expression, Lockart hit the Eagle Head Door Knocker with the book in his hand, and kept swearing in a dialect that Mike could not understand. But he may have forgotten that there is a protective restriction attached to the Eagle Head Door Knocker, any

Anyone who tries to open the door by force will be attacked by the knocker.

Sure enough, the two sapphires in the eye sockets of the eagle-headed door knocker flashed, and Lockhart flew backwards, hitting the wall hard.

Mike was quite speechless as he looked at Lockhart, who was rolling and moaning on the ground.

The eagle-headed door knocker can be said to be the most useful door knocker among the four major colleges. Like the Sorting Hat, it has the ability to read people's hearts, but its wisdom is not as high as the Sorting Hat.

It will ask questions according to the knowledge reserve of the problem solver, which means that as long as it asks questions, you can theoretically answer them. After all, you must have learned this knowledge.

This means that the older you are and the more you have learned, the more difficult the questions will be.

Therefore, first-year students, especially Muggle-born first-year students, are generally not trapped outside the door. On the contrary, the upperclassmen are often forced to sleep on the floor outside the door, which makes Ravenclaw's

Senior students usually carry a sleeping bag with them in case of emergency.

Lockhart is obviously the type who returns all the knowledge he has learned to his teacher after graduation.

Although he deeply despised Lockhart, a bastard who was seeking fame, but due to his status as a professor, Mike still stepped forward to help him up.

"You're not hurt, are you? Professor Lockhart."

Only then did Lockhart notice Mike's presence. Seeing that Mike wanted to help him, he hurriedly struggled to stand up from the floor and said:

"No, no! I'm fine! I just tested the power of the Ravenclaw access control device, and the result was very good, just as good as the one I used to have when I was in Ravenclaw." Lockhart was mid-sentence.

Suddenly his expression suddenly changed to one of surprise, "Who are you? Mike! You must be Mike! Flitwick told me about you, saying that you were the most outstanding student he ever taught, and you also joined that organization."

Mike looked at Lockhart, who was trying hard not to show his ugly face, and felt a little more contempt for him in his heart. His calf was shaking even though it was clearly hurting, and yet he pretended to be fine, which was simply ridiculous.

No matter what he thought in his heart, Mike's etiquette on the surface was impeccable and he replied with a smile: "Yes, I am Mike Townley. Professor Flitwick thinks too highly of me. I just did what I did."

That’s what a student should do.”

"You are so humble! Being able to join that organization fully demonstrates your excellence." Lockhart took a few steps closer and said, "Tell me, what is the test in the Crow's Nest like? I also

They have sent me invitations several times if I want to be a member of the Ravens, but unfortunately I have never had time to go."

Mike was already a little impatient. As Lockhart said, being able to join the Raven's Nest indeed proved that Mike was an excellent wizard, but similarly, Lockhart, who was born in Ravenclaw, so

The fact that he has not joined Raven's Nest for so long just proves that he is just a mediocre person.

"I'm not very clear about this aspect. To be honest, I didn't know how I passed at the beginning. Professor Flitwick should be able to give you a satisfactory answer to these questions." Mike no longer pretended to Lockhart.

He said directly, "Besides, don't you think it's inappropriate for us to talk about the crow's nest here? You were just about to enter the Ravenclaw lounge, right? Let me take you in when I happen to be here.

.”

After saying that, he ignored Lockhart's reaction and walked to the eagle's head knocker.

Lockhart is indeed a "well-known figure", and his face is not ordinary. When he heard that Mike rejected his request in disguise, the embarrassment in his eyes disappeared for a moment, and he took a few steps to keep up with Mike's pace.

"Well! You are right. Things about that organization should not be discussed in public. I didn't expect that you already understand the principle of being a low-key person at such a young age. It's really outstanding. You will definitely become a person like me in the future.

Celebrities, your humility will bring you a lot of benefits when the time comes." Lockhart was still educating Mike as he walked.

Mike was speechless for a while after hearing this, and muttered in his heart:

To become a famous person like you, who has a lot of wealth but a lot of trouble? I strongly suspect that you are scolding me, but I have no proof.

Ignoring Lockhart's compliment, Mike motioned to the eagle knocker to quickly ask the question. He no longer wanted to stay with Lockhart for a moment.

The question posed by Eagle Head Knocker to Mike was much simpler. Mike only thought for a moment and answered the question correctly. Seeing that the door to the lounge was opened, Mike ignored Lockhart behind him and walked straight in.

Lockhart, on the other hand, followed Mike closely, wanting to be close to him.

He was afraid that the door would suddenly close and lock him out again, because their behavior was theoretically an act of cheating, and the eagle-headed door knocker might suddenly close in order to lock him out.

Fortunately, what Lockhart was worried about did not happen, and he entered the Ravenclaw lounge without any danger.

As soon as he entered the Ravenclaw lounge, Lockhart once again put on his iconic smile that had won the Wizarding Weekly Most Charming Smile Award five times, and his originally messy turquoise dress was also straightened out by him.

Neatly.
