Chapter 113 Lockhart’s Invitation

The next day, as if indicating that the dark clouds brought by the basilisk to Hogwarts had dissipated, the long-lost sunshine once again shone on Hogwarts Castle.

Mike got out of bed energetically, looked at the bright sunshine outside the window and the owls flying by from time to time, and stretched for a long time.

He found that he was actually a very nostalgic person. During this period, he had been running around outside and had no chance to return to his dormitory. Last night, he lay down on his small bed again and fell asleep immediately. Even the daily brain closure required No technical training was done.

After folding his bed, Mike walked out of the dormitory.

Everyone who came forward greeted Mike with a smile. As the only living person among the four people Dumbledore commended at the end of last night's dinner, Mike gained the respect of all Ravenclaws, not to mention He also won 100 points for Ravenclaw, making the gems in Ravenclaw's hourglass now the same as Gryffindor, far more than Hufflepuff and Slytherin.

Normally, Mike would probably avoid these annoying flies, but today he was in an especially good mood and even greeted the classmates one by one.

Seeing Mike like this, the students became even more enthusiastic. One girl even wanted to step forward and hug Mike. Fortunately, Franklin arrived in time with a group of Ravenclaw students of Muggle descent and dragged away the girl who must have weighed at least two hundred pounds.

Since Mike helped the Hufflepuff student in the auditorium last time, many Muggle students in Hogwarts have become loyal fans of Mike, and even established a Mike club, and Franklin himself As Mike's number one best friend (self-proclaimed), he naturally became the club's minister.

"Mike, it's time for us to leave. If we don't leave, we'll be late for class." Franklin said to Mike.

The smile on Mike's face did not diminish. He waved to the students who were blocked by the "Mike Club Members", caused a burst of cheers and then followed Franklin to the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom.

There was no class yet when the two came to the classroom, and there were not many people in the classroom. They ate the sandwich Franklin brought him bite by bite, and Mike said, "How are you feeling lately?"

"It's not bad. Thanks to your glory, I'm now a semi-famous person." Franklin crossed his legs and replied, "You haven't seen it. Some girls even sent me love letters. Omg, did I see it? Does it look stupid? You can tell by looking at those bishou that they are coming for you."

Before Mike could reply, Lockhart walked into the classroom, and the first Defense Against the Dark Arts class after the basilisk incident officially began. Mike stuffed the last piece of sandwich into his mouth and watched with interest as Lockhart began to tell stories from his novel.

Mike has never read the novels written by Lockhart. In the past, he knew that Lockhart was an incompetent memory thief, so he didn't bother to read them. But today, he was in a good mood and listened to Lockhart's lecture on the stage and discovered that Lockhart had written it. The stories are quite attractive.

To be honest, Lockhart is indeed a good novelist. Whether it is the plot rhythm or the burst of excitement, Lockhart handles it very well. It is not unreasonable for him to succeed.

Lockhart on the stage had also been paying attention to the reaction of Mike, the new Hogwarts celebrity. Seeing that Mike was actually listening with interest, he spoke more energetically.

But he didn't get carried away and let Mike go on stage to perform the plot in the novel, because he already knew why he was beaten in the Ravenclaw lounge based on the investigation. He didn't think it was just a coincidence. He felt that it was This is all Mike's revenge on himself. Mike is not like Harry Potter, and he can rely on his status as a professor to get him to cooperate with him. If Mac were allowed to make a fool of himself in public, Lockhart believed that Mac would definitely retaliate in his own way.

So in this harmonious and happy atmosphere, Lockhart's Defense Against the Dark Arts class was completed.

Mike hummed a little tune and got up to leave the classroom and go to the auditorium for dinner. The dinner had just been held yesterday, and the meal at noon today must be very rich.

"Hey, Mike. Can I take you a moment?" Lockhart rubbed his hands and suddenly appeared in front of Mike. "Can you go to my office after class in the afternoon? I have something I want to discuss with you."

Looking at Lockhart's smooth and oily face, which was nourished by various skin care products, the smile on Mike's face slowly disappeared and he said, "What's wrong, Professor Lockhart, did I do something wrong?"

"No, no, no! You misunderstood. It's definitely a good thing that I came to you this time. It's just not convenient to say it here. You can rest assured." Lockhart saw that Mike had misunderstood and hurriedly explained.

Seeing Lockhart's strange attitude, Mike became wary. The heir of Slytherin has not been caught yet. Belohart is that heir, right? Was he planning to kill himself by letting himself go to his office this time?

Mike thought for a moment and then shook his head. Lockhart had no motive for doing this. Judging from the actions of the heir, he has been very targeted at Mike from the beginning. From this point, we can conclude that the heir must be Mike's enemy. But there is no big grudge between Mike and Lockhart.

But although the possibility of Lockhart being the heir is very small, it does not mean that he is completely without suspicion. Lockhart's office is an absolute no-no. If Lockhart is really the heir, it would be unwise to fight him on his home turf.

Mike's brain was racing, and he quickly thought of a good place: the kitchen of Hogwarts.

There are many house elves in the kitchen of Hogwarts. Although these house elves usually look submissive, their strength is actually not weak. If Lockhart really had a conflict with him, those house elves would never sit idly by.

Thinking of this, Mike nodded towards Lockhart and said: "I can talk to you, but I have to change the location. I don't like the decoration in your office very much. Just go to the kitchen of Hogwarts. It just so happens that I I also want to ask the house elves some questions about cooking magic."

Lockhart had a troubled look on his face, and he hesitated for a moment before agreeing. Franklin looked at Lockhart's leaving back and asked Mike, "There's something wrong with him. Do you want me to come with you later?" go?"

Mike glanced at Franklin and saw that his face was full of nervousness, and he didn't know what he was thinking. He felt that as his friend, he did not help him in the basilisk incident, so he felt guilty.

After staring at Franklin for a long time, until Franklin started to feel uncomfortable, Mike withdrew his gaze and said slowly, "Thank you, Franklin. I'll ask you to come with me in the afternoon."
