A few days later in the morning, all the second-year Slytherins sat in the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom early.

The atmosphere in the classroom is not good.

The Slytherins had no expression on their faces, didn't speak, and just sat with their heads bowed.

In the past few days, they have been holding tomes and reciting various knowledge points about Lockhart almost every moment.

Naturally, many of them are unwilling to do such a thing.

But there is no way.

John used unified interests and power to suppress and integrate the prefects early on.

Those prefects shifted the pressure to the ordinary students below.

Slytherin is really strong in internal fighting!

The prefects, who are the heads of various small parties, are even more ‘expert-level’ figures among them.

Under the pressure of the prefects using all kinds of unimaginable means, ordinary Slytherins could only be obedient.

As a result, Slytherin, who was originally suffering from constant internal friction, burst out with amazing power, and in a short period of time, all members had memorized the content about Lockhart.

As a price, there is also a lot of resentment within Slytherin House.

Especially for John.

After all, the prefects are not stupid.

When they suppressed students, they all used John's name.

Most of the resentment was naturally transferred to John.

In this classroom alone, there were many Slytherins secretly looking at John with resentful eyes.

John knew these things very well.

But he doesn't care.

He himself had no sense of belonging to Slytherin.

With Snape here and his own strength, the other Slytherins did not dare to use any means to retaliate against him.

Then what else does he have to fear?

What's more, John really knows Slytherin too well.

When today's Defense Against the Dark Arts class ends and they see the gains in house points, the attitude of the Slytherins towards him will naturally change again.

Thinking of this, John sneered and turned his head to look.

This sight directly frightened the Slytherins behind who were glaring at him and lowered their heads.

At the same time, Lockhart also opened the classroom door.

Today he was wearing a purple-red robe, with carefully styled hair and a specially trained smile, making the whole person look dazzling.

"Good morning everyone! I think you are all looking forward to it...well..."

As soon as he entered the door, Lockhart said loudly.

However, he suddenly got stuck mid-sentence.

Because he suddenly discovered that there were still five minutes left before class started. Not only were all the Slytherins here, but they were also all sitting upright, and the classroom was extremely quiet.

This was the first time he had seen this kind of scene this week.

Students from other colleges are not so disciplined.

Especially Gryffindor.

Not only did many people follow the Weasley twins into the venue, but they also sat crookedly during class, making the scene so noisy that it gave people a headache.

After being stunned for a moment, Lockhart finally reacted.

He cleared his throat loudly, reached for "Magical Me" on Draco's desk, held it in his hand, and showed the photo of himself winking on the cover.

"I," he pointed to his photo and winked, "Gilderoy Lockhart, Order of Merlin, Third Class, honorary member of the Anti-Dark Arts League, five-time winner of Wizarding Weekly's Most Charming Smile

Prize - but I don’t talk about that, I don’t drive away all the female ghosts by smiling!”

With that said, Lockhart was ready to give up.

After all, he has often encountered this kind of scene in the past few days.

His popularity in Hogwarts is indeed not as high as expected.

But what he didn't expect was.

After he finished speaking, John began to clap softly.

Following John's actions, the other Slytherins began to applaud as if they were robots who had received instructions.

For a moment, applause filled the entire Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom.

Although the movements of these Slytherins are very stiff and their expressions are not very good-looking, they are obviously forced.

It can be seen that Lockhart's whole body was shaking with excitement!

"Oh my God! Merlin! I'm so... so touched!" Lockhart said, wiping the corners of his eyes, "I didn't expect that I would have so many fans in Slytherin! Thank you so much!"

Draco was so disgusted by these words that he hid in a blind corner where Lockhart couldn't see and made a retching motion.

Goyle and Crabbe beside them were so amused that they couldn't help but want to laugh loudly.

However, when John's cold gaze fell on them, their smiles instantly dissipated, and then returned to their previous fearful appearance.

"I see you've all bought my complete set of works - great. I thought we'd do a little test today. Don't be afraid - just to see how well you read and how much you understand..."

After a while, Lockhart finally returned to normal. He distributed a stack of papers to the Slytherins, then returned to the podium and said, "I'll give you thirty minutes. Now - start!"

After saying this, the Slytherins immediately began to look through the papers.

When they saw it, they were stunned.

Because the content on this paper was exactly the same as what they had memorized before!

Many Slytherins looked at John with shocked faces.

But I saw that John was already writing furiously.

Only then did everyone react and started answering questions excitedly.

Half an hour later, Lockhart put the papers away and looked through them in front of the whole class.

"My Lord Merlin! Each of you actually remembers that I like lilac the most, which I only mentioned once in "A Year with XZ Snowman"! And that my secret ambition is to eliminate evil from the world.

, and selling my own line of hair lotion! You guys answered them all!”

Lockhart stood up excitedly, "Great! That's great! Fifty points for Slytherin!"

"boom--"

Lockhart's words were like a bomb, instantly detonating the entire Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom.

The Slytherins all exclaimed in disbelief, and their eyes couldn't help but cast towards John.

They really didn't expect that Lockhart would be so stupid.

Not only did he continue to use the test paper with the same content as John expected, but he also gave Slytherin crazy extra points just because he was flattered!

You know, that’s a full fifty points!

In a sense, Lockhart is really a fan!

"Okay everyone, please stay calm. This is what you deserve! Now, let's get down to business..."

Lockhart pushed out a wooden box that was one cubic meter in size from under the podium, "Now - be careful! My mission is to teach you to resist the most evil thing known to the wizarding world! What you will do in this classroom

Face the most terrifying things. But remember, as long as I am here, no harm will come to you. All I ask is that you remain calm."

The atmosphere in the classroom suddenly became serious.

The Slytherins looked at Lockhart nervously.

With everyone watching, Lockhart opened the box.

Immediately, a huge, furry gray head poked out.

"Big-headed monster! A terrifying demon from the Goose Kingdom!"

Lockhart said theatrically.

"laugh--"

Draco finally couldn't help laughing.

He lowered his voice and said to John:

"Lockhart actually called the big-headed monster the Horrible Devil. I'm really laughing! It's just a little monster special to the Goose Country. In terms of destructive power, it can't even compare to the Cornish elf!"

John nodded.

He understood what Lockhart was thinking.
