Chapter 54：

The little wizards were confused. John waved his wand gently, and the originally locked cabinet was opened.

Immediately afterwards, there was a muttering sound coming from the cabinet. This sound made the expressions of the three little animals become more frightened.

They were all too familiar with this voice. It was the voice of the troll they encountered in the first grade.

​Then they wondered.

That cabinet is so small, how can it hide a giant monster?

John used Occlumency to create a giant monster in his mind.

The Boggart mistakenly thought he was afraid of a troll, so he turned into a troll and pushed open the cabinet door and walked out.

"It's really a troll!"

Ron was very frightened.

John stared at the mallet in the troll's hand, and when the troll came towards him, he took action decisively.

"Wingardium Leviosa"

The big stick in the troll's hand flew up uncontrollably, and then hit it **** the top of his head.

The Boggart that turned into a giant monster had the characteristics of a giant monster, and his head was dizzy and fell to the ground.

The troll was easily dealt with in this way, and everyone applauded warmly after realizing it.

Lockhart came out and said loudly: "As expected of my teachings, John Wick performed well, and Slytherin adds 10 points!"

This class changed from the bad before. In the lively class, the Boggart, who turned into a giant monster, was hit again and again.

After the class, everyone changed their previous opinions and Lockhart became outstanding.

Chapter 64 Percy and Power

"Have you seen Professor Lockhart's true teaching level?"

"Come on Hermione, it's obviously John who is teaching us. Lockhart didn't even take out his wand."

After the Defense Against the Dark Arts class ended, Hermione immediately found Harry Ron and wanted to clear Lockhart's name.

Ron was even more certain that Lockhart was a guy with no real purpose, because during this entire lesson, Lockhart didn't even take out his wand.

Rather than saying that it was Lockhart teaching, it was better to say that it was John giving the class.

When Neville didn't use the levitating spell, John directly used the transformation spell to control the troll.

Lockhart was obviously frightened and hid behind the podium.

"Humph, but his class is very good, isn't it?" Hermione wanted to retort, but she was convinced in her heart.

Watching her idol step down from the altar made her very confused.

Ron shrugged and said indifferently: "If John can be allowed to take classes in the future, I have no problem with Lockhart."

Harry watched the two arguing, and he was still recalling the sound he heard when he was sent to answer Lockhart's letter on Saturday.

Because of Ron and Malfoy's bad behavior of casting curses on each other, both he and Ron were detained.

But the good news is that Malfoy's protective father did not come to Hogwarts to cause a scene. I heard that John settled everything for them.

This made Harry very grateful to John.

At this moment, Filch roared.

The Weasley twins snickered on the sidelines, and frog brains were smeared all over the wall, which made Filch furious.

He is a squib. He has no magic and can only clear it out bit by bit.

You didn't need to think twice to know that this was a prank from the Weasley twins. When Percy saw this scene, he walked up to them in a serious manner and scolded them.

"You shouldn't play pranks like this."

"Come on Percy."

"No, it should be the prefect."

"Maybe you can enter the Ministry of Magic."

"Because you are as boring as the people there."

George and Fred sang together, which made Percy very angry.

Percy is an outlier in the Weasley family. Although Mrs. Weasley has always regarded him as a pride, he is incompatible with the entire family atmosphere.

After all, no one among the Weasleys except Percy would read such a boring and terrifying book as "How Prefects Gain Power".

Percy had no choice but to get more power.

For this reason, even if Lockhart's teaching skills were poor, he still respected him.

In the end, the affection of his family defeated him, and he had no choice but to leave a warning and leave in despair.

The Weasley twins were making faces behind them, and Ron couldn't stand his brother after seeing them.

The twins often bully themselves, but they are not as rigid and serious as Percy and reprimand them from above.

Let alone Weasley, even among Gryffindors, Percy looks like an outlier.

After all, you can be poor at studying in Gryffindor, but you can never be without friends and a sense of humor.

"John, you are right. I asked my father not to come to school. I will definitely make Weasley cry next time I see him."

In the Slytherin team, Malfoy proudly told John that he stopped Mr. Malfoy.

After being sneak-attacked and cursed by Ron on Saturday, Malfoy cursed and told Weasley to get out of Hogwarts.

After hearing this, John frowned and said to him earnestly: "Draco, don't be like a child. A powerful wizard does not rely on his father. You can return a curse to him, but you must not let others look down on you."

These words made Malfoy change his mind, because he did return a curse, and the feeling was more comfortable than having his father come to school to make a scene.

Fighting back also made this matter irrational, and Mr. Malfoy probably wouldn't be able to make things better if he came over.

Daphne trotted up to John, with a hint of admiration hidden in her eyes, and said coquettishly: "You are awesome. The transformation technique in class just now was so perfect. Where did you get a giant monster?"

"Oh? That's what Professor Lockhart got."

John kept his word and maintained Lockhart's image outside, at least so that he would no longer be so questionable.

Daphne was not stupid. She wrinkled her beautiful nose and said angrily: "Come on, he doesn't have that ability. God, I don't know why my mother just likes him."

John smiled noncommittally, that troll was a Boggart.

Boggart can reflect the inner fear, but it is not too strong in terms of strength.

Even if it turns into a giant monster, it may not even have half the strength of a giant monster.

Just use Occlumency to build a Terror Troll, then stand a little further in front, and the boggart will turn into the creature you want.

He remembered that when Harry was in third grade, the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor captured Boggarts. Of course, he taught him how to deal with Boggarts, not trolls.

Lockhart's strength is not that great, but his stories are all taken from reality by others.

The knowledge inside is indeed useful. As long as you follow the above teachings, even if the theory is criticized, it will never be called bad.

It's a pity that Lockhart didn't realize this. In the lesson plan that John set for him, except for the second grade, it was best not to do anything without taking action. Most of them were based on the stories in the book combined with theory.

Defense Against the Dark Arts mainly talks about the counterattack and defense against magical creatures and black magic persecution.

Coping with this school year is pretty simple.

After becoming a Defense Against the Dark Arts assistant, many students began to realize that John was different from them.

Even Professor McGonagall praised his transformation skills for reaching a senior level, which made Slytherin extremely proud.

Especially when Lockhart showed his kindness by adding extra points, John led the Slytherin points funnel to advance all the way, leaving the other three houses far behind.

This made Slytherin straighten his back.

…

"George, Fred!"

Percy's roar sounded in the corridor. John walked out of the Room of Requirement and saw two sneaky people sneaking back to Gryffindor Tower.

Percy walked angrily down the corridor and caught two guys wandering around at night.

With just one glance, he could confirm that the two iconic flame-red hair were definitely his two younger brothers.

But to his surprise, he didn't catch the Weasley twins, but he caught Slytherin's John.

"I should give you a warning. Although I won't deduct points from you, you violated the school's rules."

Percy wears a pair of glasses and is neatly dressed, which is different from Ron and the others who never dress well.

He said solemnly, John shrugged, and then thought of something.

"Percy Weasley, come to think of it, we haven't spoken much."

John was deeply impressed by the Weasley family. Except for the two Weasleys who had already graduated, Percy had the lowest sense of existence.

But you can't deny Percy's excellence. He obtained twelve certificates in the O.W.L exam. This is a top scorer and a top student.

It even makes people doubt that if it weren't for the fact that he was a Weasley, he might have been sorted into Ravenclaw.

After all, the Weasleys are all Gryffindors, and the Sorting Hat probably doesn't want to break the tradition.

For Slytherin, the first reaction of all Weasleys was to hate him, but in front of him was John, John Wick, the man who had saved three little animals.

Percy frowned and politely refused: "Sorry, I have to help the professor with his inspection..."

"If that's the case, I don't think you need to worry."

John smiled slightly and said easily: "Are you interested in going to the Defense Against the Dark Arts office for a cup of black tea?"

He seemed to be saying it was as easy as going home, and Percy was a little surprised.

Lockhart is an unreliable professor, and he acts too relaxed.

Thinking that John was a Defense Against the Dark Arts assistant, Percy frowned and agreed happily: "Okay, but only for a short time."

"That's enough."

John smiled, but he thought of something else in his heart.

If there are any surprising plots in the Harry Potter series that are impressive, the appearance of a traitor in the Weasley family of the Iron Dumbledore Party who defected to the Ministry of Magic is definitely one of them.

And this person is the power-hungry Percy, which also makes Percy a person that John still remembers vividly in the plot that John doesn't remember much.

He remembered that Percy was doing quite well in the Ministry of Magic, and even went so far as to quarrel with the Weasley family in order to climb up.

This kind of upward spirit is what John needs, and he has an idea.

Maybe I can recruit Percy Weasley.

The connections in my hands are very attractive.

Chapter 65 Myrtle and Investiture

Defense Against the Dark Arts Office.

Gilderoy Lockhart was replying to his book fans when there was a knock on the door.

"Oh, it's such a headache. My little book fans won't let me go even at night."

He thought it was a book fan looking for his autograph, and he enjoyed it and even felt happy.

Pure fame and vanity make him happy, even if it makes his hand break when signing autographs.

After opening the door, his bright smile turned a little embarrassed.

"John Wick, I mean Mr. Wick, why are you here?"

His behavior made Percy feel a little strange, because Lockhart claimed to have taught John, but he looked like he was in awe of John.

"Professor Lockhart, we have something to talk about. I hope you don't mind us taking up some time here."

John walked in with a look that was completely contrary to the respectful words spoken.

Percy nodded respectfully towards Lockhart: "Professor Lockhart, you are still actively preparing teaching materials at night."
