Chapter 150 Lockhart's Novel

As if he had noticed something, Mike suddenly turned his head and looked at a corner of the auditorium. However, there was nothing there except an empty seat.

"What's wrong with you?" Penelope asked in surprise.

"Nothing."

Although he said nothing, Mike's eyes were always fixed on the empty seat.

He just felt that there was someone staring at him fiercely. Could that person be...

"Mike! What are you waiting for? Go back to the Ravenclaw common room!" The captain of the Ravenclaw team, Roger Davis, put his arm around Mike's shoulders and said excitedly, "We are now the first in the standings. Senior Carol has prepared a celebration banquet for us!"

Roger suddenly appeared and startled Mike who was in deep thought. After hearing what he said, Mike instinctively wanted to refuse.

Mike still had to go to the Room of Requirement for training. Quidditch training and competitions took up a lot of Mike's time. This forced Mike to squeeze all his free time for spell training. You know, the quarterfinals of the duel competition will start soon.

However, before Mike could speak, the other players of the Ravenclaw team landed on the stands, lifted Mike up and rushed into Hogwarts Castle.

Mike would disappear immediately after each game and never join their celebration. This time, he must not be allowed to escape again.

Mike struggled hard but it was useless. With his current physical strength, he could not resist five big men. Penelope was a little surprised at first, but after Qiu Zhang and her bit her ears for a while, she let Roger and others carry Mike away.

However, it turned out that Mike still could not attend their celebration banquet today.

As soon as everyone carried Mike into Hogwarts Castle, Lockhart appeared on their way.

"Oh! Boys, I wonder if I can borrow your big star for a while?" Lockhart made a gentleman's salute and said with a smile.

Although Roger and others were a little reluctant, they still did not dare to disobey the professor's order. They agreed and put Mike down.

"What do you want to see me for?"

Mike, who was put down, tidied his Quidditch uniform that was a little messy, and asked Lockhart closer.

"This is not the right place to talk. Let's go to my office."

Seeing Lockhart's serious expression, Mike agreed. After saying goodbye to Roger and others, he followed Lockhart to the office of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

Lockhart's office was very "Lockhart" in style. The walls of the office were covered with Lockhart's magic portraits, and the air was filled with a pleasant aroma.

"I've written the outline of my novel, so please come and review it." Lockhart took out a set of exquisite porcelain teapots from the drawer, made a cup of black tea for Mike and said.

"Outline? In other words, you haven't started writing the main text yet?" Mike noticed that Lockhart emphasized the word "review" when he said this, and slammed the desk with his right hand, which was still wearing the Quidditch metal gauntlet, "What have you been doing all this time? Hiding in this office and looking at the X-photos sent to you by those stupid women?

Do you think I can't do this to you after signing the contract? Now you dare to talk to me in this tone! Huh?" "Don't

get excited! Writing a novel is not as easy as you think, really! In addition, there are a lot of things going on in the duel competition recently, so it's delayed." Seeing that Mike was angry, Lockhart hurriedly explained, "By the way, I have another piece of information here, you will definitely like it."

After that, Lockhart hurriedly took out a roll of parchment from the drawer and respectfully placed it in front of Mike.

After staring at Lockhart for a long time, seeing that he was still timid, Mike withdrew his gaze with satisfaction and picked up the parchment.

At the beginning of the parchment, four names were written in red, green, blue and yellow, representing the four major colleges:

Bruno Oppa (Gryffindor),

Willy Parker (Slytherin)

, Mike Townley (Ravenclaw),

and Cedric Diggory (Hufflepuff).

"This is the list of the top 12 players in the dueling competition. The four people at the top are the seeded players of the four major colleges." Seeing Mike's interested look, Lockhart hurriedly came up to explain.

Mike nodded slightly. He knew all the people on it.

Bruno from Gryffindor was the male student president who was beaten by the female student union president Carol and a group of Ravenclaw girls when he first started school, and Willy was the recognized leader of Slytherin. He is in the 7th grade this year.

In addition to these four names written in special ink, there are another 8 names written in ordinary black ink on the parchment.

Mike just took a first look and was attracted by the first name at the top. It was written on it: Percy Weasley.

Mike was very impressed with Percy, not only because he was the brother of George and Fred, but also because he had some unrealistic fantasies about his girlfriend Penelope.

Mike was not surprised that Percy could advance to the top 12 of the duel competition. After all, although Percy had some flaws in his character and was more vain and power-loving, he still had talent and strength.

Otherwise, he would not have become the president of the male student union in the original book, and he would not have become the subordinate of old Barty Crouch, who was the director of the International Magic Exchange and Cooperation Department at the time, after graduation.

To be honest, if everything went well, with Percy's bloodline and talent, he might really become a senior official in the Ministry of Magic.

Out of his instinctive disgust for his rival, Mike still asked for information about Percy.

"How did Percy perform?"

"Excellent! He is the strongest among the eight, and the only one who completed all the competitions without any injury." Seeing Mike asking him, Lockhart came up to him very servilely, "If you need it, I have detailed information about all the people above, including combat analysis, which can be provided to you." Mike looked up and

took a deep look at Lockhart. Seeing that his attitude was very correct, without the look of secret dissatisfaction at the beginning, a slight arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Give them all to me, including your outline."

"Yes! All for you. Are you leaving now? Won't you sit for a while? This is high-grade Kenyan black tea." Halfway through his words, Lockhart seemed to have thought of something, and slapped his head and said, "Look at my brain, you must be anxious to attend the celebration party, right? To be honest, you play basketball really..."

Mike was overwhelmed by his crazy flattery, so he took a dozen documents from Lockhart and left the office.

However, unlike what Lockhart had expected, Mike did not go to the lounge to join Roger's celebration party after leaving, but went straight to the Request Room.
