Ani pretended not to see the longing eyes behind him, and left the auditorium with Jerry in his arms.
Until he disappeared behind the door, Lockhart still stared blankly in that direction for a while, and then left in a daze, forgetting to even ask Harry to go to the office to help him reply to fans.
People have many desires, but unfortunately, only a few can be realized, and fortunately, most cannot be realized.
Otherwise the world would have been in chaos.
In most cases, not being able to do this will not have a big impact on your life.
Just like many people who sing and dance after being frustrated, but can’t pretend to smile, they still post a few moments of peace and quiet in their circle of friends.
So when the little lions said goodbye to Professor Sprout and walked back to the castle smelling like dragon dung, Harry saw eight shining teeth.
Their first class in the afternoon was Charms. In the past, everyone was in a happy mood during Professor Flitwick's class. Unfortunately, they missed two Defense Against the Dark Arts classes in the morning, which made the trio unhappy.
Although Neville told them that Professor Lockhart didn't say anything when he discovered that the three of them were absent, no professor would be indifferent to this. Maybe Percy would come over after class to inform them of the confinement time.
However, until the second period when they were led by Sprout to fertilize the plants in the greenhouse, Percy was not seen.
Who would have thought that just when a few people started to relax their vigilance, Lockhart blocked them directly.
"Oh, Harry, Harry, and Wesley and Miss Granger, I can understand the rebellion in youth, but absenteeism is really not a good habit."
Lockhart raised his shoulders and waved his hands exaggeratedly, and pulled Harry to his side.
My name is not Wesley. Ron was furious, but he didn't dare to say it out loud.
Hermione lowered her head in shame, having nothing to say about the mistake she had made.
The other little wizards looked over curiously and quietly slowed down, which made the three of them feel even more embarrassed.
"Follow me."
Fortunately, Lockhart then took them to his office, and finally the three of them avoided being executed in public.
"This is very bad, very bad. Ever since I started school, I have never heard of any little wizard absenting himself from school without any reason. Never, and you are the first case I know of."
Lockhart walked around the room quickly, trying to exaggerate the seriousness of the matter. Only in this way can he gain more gratitude after "forgiving" several people's mistakes.
"Normally, I should severely punish you..."
In the anxious eyes of the young wizard, Lockhart finally found his dignity as a professor, but when he was still immersed in the pleasure of making interesting remarks, someone knocked on the door of the Defense Against the Dark Arts office.
Lockhart cursed secretly, he was about to say "no", but the visitor interrupted him at the climax moment of the turning point.
"What's the matter... Ah, this is Professor Scamander, please come in."
Luo Xiaoren opened the door angrily, and his color changed immediately when he saw the person coming. Not to mention that he had ulterior motives for Aini, and now he is even more coveted for his diary.
Aini did not enter the door. He took a look inside and directly explained his purpose.
"Sorry, Professor Lockhart, I have some manuscripts that need to be proofread later, but the Gryffindor students said Hermione was invited here."
Although he said he was sorry, the visitor did not look embarrassed at all. He nodded to the little witch and looked at Lockhart blankly, waiting for him to make a choice.
Lockhart was very unhappy with Arnie's attitude, but he could only put on a smile.
When he wanted to get something from Aini, he had already lost something.
"A small question, Professor Scamander, just a small question. Since you are here, then..."
Lockhart turned his head to Hermione and said with a friendly smile: "Miss Granger, you can leave with Professor Scamander."
"Ah, this..."
The little witch looked back and forth between the two professors, and after Ani nodded, she apologized to Lockhart, looked helplessly at her two companions, and walked out of the Defense Against the Dark Arts office. p>
"Thank you, Professor Lockhart."
Ani pretended not to see Harry and the two looking for help, and closed the door from the outside with a "clang" sound.
Just when the boys felt that their future was bleak, a burst of heavenly sound came from outside the door.
"Professor Lockhart, they were absent from class this morning because they went to my place to treat Harry. Goodbye."
Lockhart looked at the two people who were caught in surprise and didn't know what to say for a moment. He wanted to curse, but he was so hopeless! Do you think that with Aini's help in speaking, you could handle this matter lightly?
?
I wouldn’t do anything to you without Aini’s involvement, okay!
After a while, Lockhart tried to regain the previous atmosphere, but found that all his former eloquence was hidden somewhere, and there was only one question echoing in his mind.
"What is Miss Granger and Professor Scamander... uh, I mean, do they have a good relationship?"
"Ai...Professor Scamander is very friendly to every student. We only know that Hermione is his teaching assistant."
Harry said before Ron that this issue already involved Hermione's privacy, and he didn't want to betray his friends.
"Okay, okay, I'll talk to Miss Granger later."
Lockhart looked at the two of them and said the rest of the words according to the script.
"Actually, I didn't want to punish you, otherwise Filch would have been at the door just now."
Even though they knew that they would not be punished too severely, the two of them were still happy when they heard this. However, after the episode just now, their gratitude to Lockhart was far less than a certain professor originally expected.
It would be better not to hold back and say everything directly. Lockhart was a little annoyed, and he didn't expect that Ani would come to disrupt the situation.
Originally, he wanted to take this opportunity to sway Harry's favor, so that after he resigned at the end of the school year, he could take something from the boy to revitalize his shampoo business.
After all, Harry's grandfather, Fleamund Potter, invented the smooth hair spray, which was popular throughout the wizarding world at the time. Even now, it is still a best-seller.
He knew that the old Potter had transferred the company back then, but Lockhart also believed that the formula for the quick and smooth hair spray must be kept in the vault that Harry inherited.
Using it directly will definitely get you into big trouble, but if you combine it with your Bird Snake Egg Yolk Shampoo to make a two-in-one product, you will definitely be able to fulfill your long-cherished wish.
But everything was ruined by the arrogant Scamander, and Lockhart now wished he could secretly give him a sap, beat him up, and then use the Oblivion Curse to erase his memory.
However, what Lockhart didn't know was that if he could treat Harry sincerely and not mix in too many false performances and calculations, if the boy could find the formula, he would be happy to give it to him.
Some people will sell everything for profit, but it is unimaginable that other people will give everything for friendship.
