Lockhart has been having a hard time lately, as the Valentine's Day "surprise" he prepared offended a lot of people.
Although we cannot openly cause trouble for him, there are always more ways to solve the problem than the problem itself.
Following a method suggested by an anonymous student, a group of students who wanted to cause trouble for Lockhart all went to consult their Defense Against the Dark Arts professor with their problems.
That’s right!
This is the best way.
It is well known that Lockhart's Defense Against the Dark Arts is poor, even worse than Quirrell's last year in theory.
How true those so-called titles are remains to be discussed.
Now, unless you are a crazy fan of Lockhart, it is not difficult to realize how bad the level of their Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is.
Therefore, Lockhart's weaknesses are naturally obvious, just like preparing a bunch of review questions for a student who doesn't want to study, and then pressing his head hard on them.
Just after Valentine's Day, Lockhart realized he was in trouble.
The students were extremely dedicated to their studies and would come to him with questions during and after class, hoping to get answers from him.
The quality of the questions varies, but the number is large.
Therefore, Lockhart was honored to experience Quirrell's special treatment last year. Now when he saw students, he had to worry whether they would suddenly take out a notebook from their pocket.
All in all, the results are quite satisfactory.
Albert, who was tricked by Lockhart, naturally did not forget to kick the other party back into the pit, and completed a simple panel task by the way.
Albert, who had just come out of the Room of Requirement, was fiddling with a glass ball in his hand. It was the latest model of the detection ball. The detection range of the detection ball had been further compressed and would not trigger the alarm when he came out of the Room of Requirement.
As long as the basilisk does not leave the secret room, it will not be detected by the detection ball.
Arriving at the hall, Albert spotted the whispering people at a glance. He walked over and sat down in the empty seat next to Fred. He picked up a slice of bread with bacon and took a bite. He was very hungry.
"I heard that his girlfriend has shown some promise."
Some scattered sounds around him came into his ears, making Albert look up at the few people with a confused look. Everyone seemed to be discussing a very secret matter. They spoke in low voices and used many words to avoid being overheard and spread by others.
"It is said that he had a girlfriend when he was still at Hogwarts School."
"Really, it's hard to imagine anyone liking that one."
"Perhaps, that one was very handsome when he was young?"
"That one? Young?" Albert analyzed their words and it was not difficult to guess who Angelina was referring to.
Snape
That should be right, he received Valentine's Day chocolates not long ago.
All the students in the school were very curious about who his girlfriend was, and she fit the characteristics they had just described.
"Well, it is said that he is a Gryffindor student." As soon as Angelina finished speaking, she attracted incredulous glances from other students.
"The news from the Fat Lady?" It was not difficult for Albert to guess the source of the news. Apart from ghosts, only the portraits could reveal the news to them.
"How do you know?"
"Guess."
Of course Albert knew who Snape liked.
Harry's mother, he had long forgotten her name.
It is said that in order to "save" the beautiful lady, Snape told the mysterious man the prophecy he overheard, but he did not expect that it would directly lead to the subsequent misfortune and he would lose his lover.
"A Slytherin student dating a Gryffindor student?" Fred was skeptical.
"They definitely fell out in the end," George said with certainty. "There's no way the two sides could get along."
"I don't know about other things, but if this matter gets out, you will definitely be in big trouble." Albert swallowed the potato in his mouth and kindly reminded, "Don't expect him to be kind."
In fact, Albert sometimes had malicious thoughts about spreading Snape's love history throughout the school, but when he thought about the consequences, he suppressed the idea of seeking death.
After all, he still had to stay in school for a few more years, and being targeted by Snape was not a good idea.
"Do you know something?"
Lee Jordan asked quietly as they left the hall.
"Damn it, don't talk nonsense, what can I know!" Albert glared at Lee Jordan fiercely and turned away.
"I dare say Albert must know something." Lee Jordan said to the Weasley brothers beside him, "You all know that Albert is always mysterious, and he knows a lot of things we don't know."
In fact, he thought so because Albert just pointed out that Angelina's news came from the Fat Lady.
"I think Albert is right. Continuing to delve into this matter will bring us unnecessary trouble!" Fred and George both agreed with Albert's point of view.
Snape is not someone to be trifled with. They sent Valentine's Day chocolates to Snape because the chocolates were sent by house-elves. It was impossible for Snape to trace them back to them, but he would definitely get into trouble if he spread rumors in school.
"Okay, okay!"
Lee Jordan didn't dwell on this matter any longer and quickly chased after the three people in front of him.
However, just because they didn't discuss it didn't mean that others weren't curious. Rumors about Snape's first love had already begun to spread around the school.
Lockhart originally wanted to take advantage of this popularity, but when he was bragging about these things to other students, he was accidentally bumped into by Snape.
In the end, Lockhart was frightened by the murderous face of the Potions Professor and fled in panic. As for those unlucky guys who didn't have time to escape, they were directly put in solitary confinement.
However, the more Snape forbade, the more curious everyone became.
The Potions Professor had killed several chickens in a row, but still failed to scare the group of monkeys.
Well! The entire Hogwarts student body was discussing this matter, and they were even more concerned about Snape's emotional problems than the Chamber of Secrets.
Fortunately, the name Lily Evans did not come out of the students' mouths.
Otherwise, the famous Harry Potter might explode on the spot.
Everyone speculated that Snape finally broke up with his first love, otherwise he would have been married long ago, instead of being single until now at such an old age.
Since it wasn't Chu Nian, who sent Snape Valentine's Day chocolates
Could it be some unknown secret admirer
Snape himself didn't believe such nonsense.
He was certain that a student had deliberately used this method to tease him, but he had tried very hard but was unable to find out who was behind it.
Because of this incident, Fred, George and Lee Jordan kept a low profile in front of Snape. Since they knew that the Potions Professor could see through other people's thoughts, they tried to avoid dealing with him as much as possible.
