The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

Michael Corner wanted to say something more, but suddenly he heard a voice from the next table: "Have you heard? Professor Lockhart is wandering in the Forbidden Forest!"

Michael Corner:?

"——When the Ministry of Magic found him, he was locked in a self-driving car." A young wizard read aloud the "Daily Prophet" in front of him.

"Is that the car?"

"Yes, it's the car that flies to Hogwarts when school starts."

When Hagrid, the gamekeeper of Hogwarts, was inspecting the Forbidden Forest, he discovered something strange: there was a running Ford car outside the Forbidden Forest, and inside it was the long-lost Professor Lockhart. Officials from the Ministry of Magic rushed over after hearing the news and struggled to snatch Lockhart back from the car.

Although Lockhart's memory was partially erased, his memory of tampering with other people's memories was still intact. Under interrogation by the Ministry of Magic, he confessed to his crimes.

Well, because this matter was so big, Ministry of Magic officials, at the request of Minister Fudge, allowed reporters from the Daily Prophet to observe during the interrogation. Fudge had only one idea: to calm down the commotion outside as soon as possible. Lockhart's incident has become such a hot topic that it has interfered with the normal operation of the magical world. Even officials from the Ministry of Magic are discussing the matter heatedly. During the short walk from the hall to his office, he witnessed three quarrels, all involving Lockhart.

Huge pressure was placed on the Ministry of Magic, making Fudge so anxious that he no longer cared about the truth. So after finding Lockhart, he approved the use of Veritaserum without hesitation, and then got what he needed.

The next day, the Daily Prophet reported the trial they had watched, and the wizarding world was in an uproar: Lockhart's fans could hardly accept this fact!

You know, even if Lockhart makes a lot of fools and shows his ugliness, he will still maintain a high popularity among his fan base. Fans are irrational. They will instinctively believe in their idol and react when he makes a mistake. Later, I figured it out for him.

For example, if you were beaten by an elf and were in a hurry, that was because you didn't want to take the initiative and give students a chance to practice; if you were knocked away by Snape's curse, that was because he was setting an example for the students; in class, you only read from the textbook, and your homework was just to write down your thoughts after reading? That's great! This is a benefit for fans!

Lockhart's fans thought so at first, but with the follow-up report by the Daily Prophet, Lockhart's truest side was revealed to his fans. Fans were surprised to find that the idol they admired so much was a liar who could only boast.

They are angry - in professional terms, it is called "turning from pink to black"

The daily newspaper reported it in the morning, and fans reacted very quickly. They appeared in Diagon Alley at noon, gathered outside Flourish and Blotts Bookstore, and denounced Lockhart for playing with their feelings. The leading middle-aged witches burst into tears, and some even burned the Lockhart books they purchased in public.

No one from the Ministry of Magic came to take care of them. They just quietly cleaned the streets after they dispersed, as if nothing happened. Lockhart was also sentenced to 10 years in Azkaban for abusing the Oblivion Curse. Mr. Lockhart finally had a stable creative environment where he could devote himself to writing. Although the living environment is average, his readers expressed their understanding: at worst, you can postpone the update, and they all wish Mr. Lockhart can feel the spirit of his predecessors in prison and write such popular books as "Mein Kampf" and "The First Half of My Life" Prison series works.

Lockhart was discovered, Lockhart was interrogated, and Lockhart was imprisoned in Azkaban. These news did not cause a single ripple among the young wizards: they have final exams!

There is an ancient story. Shang Yang offended the newly succeeded King of Qin and was forced to run away and fled to Hangu Pass. The soldiers guarding the pass said that it was the law of Shang Jun not to leave the pass after dusk except for official business. Then Shang Yang went to stay at the hotel, and the owner said that according to Shang Jun's law, you must bring a certificate to register when staying in the hotel, otherwise you will not be allowed to stay in the hotel.

Shang Yang sighed: I am trapped in a cocoon! According to legend, this is the origin of the cocoon. Today, Tom also understood this word deeply.

Tom stared blankly at the sky outside the window. The paper in front of him was densely written with words. Although he came up with the question, but...

Dumbledore, you dare to change my paper!

He was also very carefree and only discovered something was wrong after filling in the answers to the multiple-choice questions. When he carefully checked the paper, he discovered that all the multiple-choice questions had been fine-tuned! The answers he had given before were completely innumerable!

For this final exam of Defense Against the Dark Arts, Tom's paper had four parts in total: choice, judgment, fill-in-the-blank, and short answer—among which choice and judgment questions were deducted points.

But Deng Gao was as good as Tang Gao, and Dumbledore changed the test paper, so what? The core test points were still the same. Dumbledore could only change the position of the answers and change a few key words. Tom finished answering the test paper in half an hour and started to feel dazed. Although Tom was relaxed and content, other little wizards in the same examination room had beads of sweat on their foreheads.

Hermione flicked her quill and frowned as she looked at the test paper in front of her. Her brain was running rapidly, searching for bits and pieces in her memory, and then turning them into answers and copying them on the paper.

The paper in front of her clearly said:

Ron, who was sitting at the front, muttered: "People who can ask questions like this must have some serious illness!"
