Cedric's experience made Kyle and Connor feel a little resistant to the upcoming Defense Against the Dark Arts.

But there is no way, this is a basic course and they have to go no matter what.

In the afternoon, the two of them dawdled and arrived at the classroom designated by Lockhart...

The walls here are covered with large photos of Lockhart and his various achievements.

In the photo, Lockhart's shiny white teeth flashed like searchlights.

Compared to a classroom, this place is more like a press conference site...

Kyle and Kanna arrived at the last minute, and when they got there, the room was already full of students, with only a few empty tables in the last row.

After the two of them walked over and sat down, the bell for class rang.

Lockhart cleared his throat loudly, asking everyone to quiet down.

He reached for a Gryffindor student's copy of Sailing with Vampires and held it up, showing the winking picture of himself on the cover.

"I……"

He pointed at the photo and then at himself.

"Gilderoy Lockhart, winner of the Order of Merlin, honorary member of the Dark Arts Defense League, five-time winner of the Witch Weekly Most Charming Smile Award...but I don't talk about this all the time. I don't rely on smiling to keep vampires and me friendly."

Lockhart held up the book again, revealing a winking motion identical to the one on the cover.

"Is it true that he has also received the Order of Merlin like you?"

Connor frowned.

"Why do I feel so unreliable... and what is the Dark Arts Defense League?"

"A once famous organization."

Kyle whispered, "The legendary Auror of the Ministry of Magic, Alastor Moody, and the current Director of the Department of International Magical Cooperation, Barty Crouch, were once members of the Dark Arts Defense League. But…"

Kyle changed the subject and continued, "More than a decade ago, when Harry Potter became the savior, this organization began to decline."

"What they did gradually changed from resisting the Dark Arts to gatherings and socializing. A few years ago, they even accepted a member who was suspected to be a Death Eater because the other party donated a large sum of money."

"So from that time on, some well-known members, such as Alastor Moody and Barty Crouch, withdrew."

"After that, the Dark Arts Defense League's value plummeted, and it was left far behind by the Extraordinary Pharmacist Association, which was once as famous as it."

"I know that!"

Connor's eyes lit up. "Professor Snape is a member of the Extraordinary Pharmacist Association, and he wants me to join, too."

"It's not easy." Kyle said with a smile: "The review of the Extraordinary Pharmacist Association is very strict. Only those who can brew the Fuling Potion before the age of thirty are eligible to get the admission ticket."

"I know, but thirty is still a long time. We still have a lot of time, don't we?"

"We?" Kyle raised an eyebrow. "Do you include me in this?"

"Don't you want to join?"

"You can give it a try. It's just a Felicia Potion..." Kyle said with a smile, "Besides, maybe I'll join before you."

"That's not necessarily true... I won't lose to you in potions." Kanna wrinkled her nose and rolled her eyes at Kyle.

…

While the two were talking, Lockhart finished his long-winded opening remarks and began handing out the papers.

Kyle and Connor each got one as well.

"Don't be afraid."

After handing out the papers, Lockhart returned to the podium and said, "It's just a simple test... to see how much you have read and how well you have understood the book."

"I'll give you thirty minutes, start now!"

What is Gilderoy Lockhart's favorite color? What is Gilderoy Lockhart's secret ambition? ...

When is Gilderoy Lockhart's birthday, and what is his ideal birthday present? There are more than 50 questions, and for the first time, Kyle feels at a loss as to where to start.

Although he had read several of Lockhart's books, he basically only read the stories inside. As for the personal opinions mixed in by Lockhart, he didn't remember any of them.

The main reason is that I can’t bear to watch it.

He just remembered that Lockhart seemed to like lilac color and wanted to sell his own toothpaste? Or was it shampoo...

Twenty minutes later, there were still large blank spaces on Kyle's paper.

He looked at Kanna...their papers were about the same, she was even worse than him.

Although Lockhart certainly wouldn't refuse someone giving him a large pile of gold on his birthday, you can't write it so bluntly.

Kyle scratched his hair. If he had known, he shouldn't have said so much to Lockhart when they were next to the Whomping Willow yesterday.

It would be so embarrassing to hand in a blank paper now.

There is no other way. In order to maintain my image, I have to copy it!

Kyle glanced around and quickly identified his target as a Gryffindor witch.

She finished all the questions in just ten minutes, and the whole time she was staring at Lockhart with admiration as he kept patrolling around, it was obvious that she was a die-hard fan.

"Okay, it's her!"

Kyle took out his wand and pointed it at a large photo on the wall...

The next second, the huge photo frame fell from the wall without warning and hit the ground with a bang.

Then came the second, and the third.

The Lockharts in the portrait were frightened and screamed, and the noise instantly attracted everyone's attention.

Taking advantage of this time, Kyle quickly used the Disillusionment Charm to come to the side of the witch, and while the portrait Lockharts screamed, he whispered the spell and copied her test paper.

By the time Lockhart had calmed the portraits, Kyle had returned to his seat with the copied answers, as if nothing had happened.

"It seems I need to hurry up and practice silent spells." Kyle muttered quietly, "I was almost discovered when I was reciting the spell just now."

Kanna looked at him with a puzzled look, "Just to copy the homework?"

"That's just one aspect." Kyle said, "Sometimes silent spells are indeed much more convenient."

On the podium, Lockhart straightened his messy blond hair and said with a smile, "Okay, it's okay, it seems that the portraits are just as excited as I am.

Keep writing, the thirty minutes are almost up."

Kyle copied the standard answers onto his own test paper, referring to the copied parchment.

So Lockhart was selling shampoo... He thought toothpaste was more likely.

I have to say, Lockhart really chose the wrong product.

Toothpaste is so good, just smiling is the best advertisement.

Looking at Kyle who was writing furiously, Connor said unhappily, "It's wrong to copy homework. We should write it ourselves!"

"I see..." Kyle thought for a moment and put the parchment in the middle.

"Then let's watch it together?"

"good!"
