210. Fundamental examination
"Witcher chess," Harry said quietly.
"If you can't drink water, you should eat it raw." Hermione said quietly.
Ron could only shrank his neck and pretend to be dead.
Who knew that Lockhart had become low-key today, not as ostentatious as they had seen in Diagon Alley before.
This not only made Ron feel strange, but also made Hermione feel that Lockhart's impression on her has changed again.
The witty, brave and intelligent adventurer in the book; the hypocritical and arrogant writer in Diagon Alley; the serious and reliable professor in Hogwarts.
So these messy things are the real Lockhart?
Lynn picked up the textbook placed on the table of a young wizard beside him, which was one of Lockhart's autobiography, "Traveling on the Boat with Vampires".
Lockhart, a liar, made a lot of money by taking advantage of being a professor. He asked each student to have at least seven textbooks for the Black Magic Defense Class this year, all of which are his autobiography, and each one is not low. A family like Weasley who has to supply so many children to go to school in a year can really afford it if they sell it.
"First of all, before class, let's talk about the textbooks you are holding." He raised the Lockhart autobiography in his hand. "Because I made some mistakes in communicating with Professor Dumbledore, I asked you to buy these things for this year's textbooks. This is my mistake, because we can't use these books at all in class."
There was a little noise in the classroom. After all, these books are really not cheap. As a result, Lockhart said now that he had not bought them, it was a waste, which inevitably made some of the little wizards who were already dissatisfied with it even more unhappy.
"Because this responsibility lies with me, you will not be able to bear the money you spend on buying these books. After class, you can go to the chief of your college and ask them to help count how many people in a college have bought so many books, and then report to me, and I will return all the money you buy from everyone."
After Lin En finished speaking, the classroom suddenly fell into a brief silence, and then there was a loud cheer.
Most of the young wizards in Hogwarts were born in mixed-race and Muggle families, and only a very small number of rich pure-blood families. And if the money is returned, it will definitely be in the hands of students. Then whether to hand it home to parents or secretly hide it himself is not like they are watching it.
Ron, who was originally pretending to be an ostrich, was also excited. His wand was broken when the car hit the beating willow. Now he is not afraid to tell his family that if Lynn returns the money for buying books, he can change to a new wand.
Just as the little wizard was in jubilation, someone raised his hand again. This time he was still a girl, but it was a student of Gryffindor.
"Is there any problem?"
The girl asked, "Then do you still want to take back the books we hold in our hands now?"
Lynn spread his hands: "Just treat it as a gift for you. Of course, if you don't like it, I won't mind using it as toilet paper."
There was a burst of laughter in the classroom, which made the little wizards know that their Dark Magic Defense professor was not that serious and old-fashioned.
Less than five minutes into class, Lynn had already established a preliminary reputation in the hearts of these little wizards. Of course, this was because Lynn spent money, but it was not his own money.
Although Lynn is not an exaggeration to say that wealth is as good as a country, he will definitely not be willing to be the sucker of this liar, if he wants him to pay money to protect Lockhart.
After Lockhart became a fool, Lynn went to his home with Dumbledore's acquiesce to search all the things he left behind.
Even if the wizard's money is generally stored in the vault of the Gringott, some funds will be left at home for backup. Lynn confiscated the gold gallon left by Lockhart at home. The amount is not large or small, and it is more than enough to compensate the little wizards of Hogwarts as a book purchase.
In addition, his biggest gain at the Lockhart family was the experience of the forgetting curse written by the liar himself.
Not to mention anything else, the Forgotten Spell is definitely Lockhart's signature. He used this unique skill to attack many adventurer wizards who had truly experienced his book, and finally achieved his current achievements.
Lynn walked back to the podium and knocked on the table to signal everyone to be quiet.
"Okay, we officially start class now. Because the professor of the Black Magic Defense class in Hogwarts changes every year, I don't know what level of Professor Quirrell took you to learn last year. In addition, the Black Magic Defense is a comprehensive subject. I need to understand what magic knowledge you have mastered in this class first."
He took out a bunch of test papers and sent it down. When he saw that the exam was about to be taken, the little wizard below suddenly became frowning.
"Mutual understanding is the first step. Don't whisper when writing, or do not flip through books and cheat. You don't even need to write names for this test paper. I just want to know what knowledge you have now through it. Of course, you can't write it on it. Let me tell you in advance that as long as I want, I can find out who his master is through the test paper."
After Lin Neng finished speaking, the exam began.
Instead of sitting on the podium, he walked down to patrol.
The purpose of the exam is just to simply test how much knowledge these little wizards have mastered. He definitely cannot measure them by his own standards in the second grade, as that would be too unfair.
Lynn has always had a very clear position on himself. If he had not added up the points of magic talent without a system, he might have become a genius of hard work, but now, he is just a hard worker.
He inspected the classroom for two rounds and probably figured out the situation of these little wizards.
Lynn can't use himself as a standard now, but he can use Harry as a standard.
The reason for Harry is that he has a good magical talent and even has a high talent in black magic defense. He is just not working hard enough and even spends most of his time not doing his job. He either makes trouble with Ron or fights Quidditch. He has little time to study hard.
Lynn had planned to use Hermione as the benchmark before, but after a round of inspection, he found that if this was the case, no one in the entire classroom could reach the passing line or above.
But even with Harry's grades, the grades of these little wizards were not satisfactory. Few people exceeded the passing line, and they could count a slap. This was the case with Ravenclaw's students.
In other words, the remaining people who are not even as good as Harry do not have the magical talent like him, and they are usually playing crazy like him.
This shows how relaxed the students of Hogwarts are in their studies.
