Hogwarts: I act like a boss in front of Hermione

Chapter 157 Lockhart steps into the trap

"But Mr. Newt Scamander clearly stated in his Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them that the snow elves are extinct. There is no way you can meet so many snow elves!"

"Nasty girl! Who is Newt Scamander? Can he compare with our Mr. Gilderoy Lockhart? Our Mr. Lockhart's book is the authority! It is the truth!"

Suddenly a little girl rushed out from the crowd of crazy book fans, put her hands on her hips, and cursed at Luna angrily and loudly.

"Snapped!"

"You stinky girl, Mr. Newt Scamander is my most respected teacher! See if I don't beat you to death when I get home!"

The little girl felt that she was very handsome in front of Mr. Lockhart, but she was only handsome for three seconds before her father slapped her in the face, then put her on his shoulders and took him out of the bookstore.

……

"Wow, what he said is true! On page 481 of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, it is clearly stated that the Snow Elves are extinct!"

A bespectacled student wearing the Ravenclaw uniform of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is holding a calfskin hardcover book of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" that he just took off the shelf of the bookstore. He opens the record snow The page of the rogue elf was held high for the wizards around to see.

"Harry, do you know the Snow Elf?"

"I don't know, because we don't need to take magical beasts class yet, so I only read 10 pages of the book "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" last year."

Ron and Harry, who were in the crowd and eating melon at close range, listened to their argument in confusion. Although they didn't understand, they felt that the little girl made sense.

"Haha, that's right! That should be Xue Huzi! I suddenly thought of something more..."

Lockhart laughed loudly to hide his embarrassment. He started telling a new story, trying to quickly divert everyone's attention, but Luna interrupted him again.

"Sir! There are no snow foxes on Mount Everest. "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" records that snow foxes live in northern Siberia, near the Arctic Circle."

This time, the wizards present did not denounce Luna anymore. Newt Scamander's "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" is currently the most authoritative encyclopedia of magical animals. No one will question what is recorded on it.

Whoa!

"Wow! Incredible! Have you memorized all the knowledge in "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them"?"

The Ravenclaw student quickly flipped through the books in her hand, and it didn't take long for her to find the record about Snow Fox. The record above was exactly the same as what Luna said. This made her yell, her face full of admiration for Luna.

hateful!

Seeing that his little book fan had turned against him, Lockhart felt a bad breath coming from deep within.

"Sir, I have read your book. You said that the female ghost used the saliva of a sleeping frog to detoxify you from the tree qiqi snake. But where you and the female ghost are, there is no tree qiqi snake at all, and there is such a thing. Snakes don’t have venom. The saliva of sleeping frogs is highly venomous.”

"Sir, this is not the only mistake in your novel about Fantastic Beasts. There are many, many mistakes in the description of Fantastic Beasts. Please read "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" several times next time you write a novel.

Finally, please write a sentence at the end of the preface of your new book that this story is purely fictional. Otherwise, everyone will think that your novel is true. If someone uses the saliva of a sleep frog, it will be troublesome and people will die. "

With an innocent look on her face, Luna used her ethereal voice to express Lockhart's most fatal question.

"what?!"

After hearing what the little girl said, everyone began to look through the books in their hands, looking for the question the little girl said.

After Luna's reasonable argument before, everyone had begun to believe what she said, and they did not question her again this time.

"You are slandering! I am a recipient of the Order of Merlin! All my novels are true. They are all things I have personally experienced!"

Just as everyone started to read "Breaking with the Ghost", Lockhart slammed his hands on the table hard, and the veins on his face popped out, spreading from his face to the lower part of his neck. It was still within his collar.

"Lockhart, do you want to say that my girl has a grudge against you and slander you? You wrote it wrong yourself and blame my daughter? Is this the right of a recipient of the third-level Order of Merlin? To slander someone who just Such a cute little girl who is 11 years old?”

When his daughter pointed out the wrong questions in Lockhart's book, Mr. Lovegood stayed behind Luna, protecting the girl with his hands, for fear that the wizards around would hurt her.

But when he heard Lockhart's loud accusation, he found that his daughter was shaking a little. She was only 11 years old and had never experienced such a fright.

Lovegood felt sorry for his daughter, holding Luna in his arms, staring at Lockhart with a serious face and fatherly anger in his eyes.

"Mr. Lockhart, as the editor of the Quibbler, I would like to interview you. Why do you, as a Ravenclaw graduated wizard, not even remember the common sense of magical animals? Anything you say today, I will Every word will be published in the next issue of The Quibbler!”

Damn it, I only invited reporters from the Daily Prophet, why is that damn naysayer editor here too? Lockhart's mind was already in a mess. He was getting more and more irritated, and he couldn't think of a perfect reason to put this matter aside.

"Mr. Lockhart, please feel free to say that our Daily Prophet will not confuse right and wrong like some newspapers that cannot get on the stage. We will speak for you."

The Daily Prophet reporters who were present became anxious as soon as they heard that the naysayer editor was at the scene. He would never allow an enemy newspaper to destroy his business news. As someone who was hired by Lockhart with money, of course he would now stand on Lockhart's side and support Lockhart.

"Mr. Lockhart, we support you too! Please tell us why you can jump over a one-meter-high stone wall in "Holiday with the Dominatrix"?

You wrote in "Walking with Ghouls" that your leg was injured. After treatment at St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries, you can now only walk normally, but cannot do strenuous exercise, such as running and high jumping. "

Fred and George in the crowd were holding two books that they had snatched from their mothers, holding them high and shouting out their doubts to Lockhart.

"That's, that's because I recovered later!"

Seeing everyone looking at him, especially the reporter from the Daily Prophet, he picked up the pen in his hand and looked at him with encouraging and trusting eyes.
