Lockhart's Gifts

Lockhart fumbled in the bag and pulled out a beautifully packaged box.

"Principal, this is the Super Smile whitening toothpaste I endorse."

This toothpaste was invented by Mr Smig, a famous United States Potions Master.

It abandons the silica powder commonly used in traditional whitening toothpaste and uses gentler, newer ingredients, and also adds the saliva of Plimpy.

This helps the enamel protect the teeth, like adding a protective film!

Lockhart smiled as he spoke, his eight teeth gleaming white in the candlelight of the Great Hall.

"The newspaper says you like to trick little wizards into giving you snacks, and that using this will definitely keep your teeth in great shape."

If you want to buy it later, you can contact me and I'll give you a 5% discount.

Lockhart started typing "GG".

Dumbledore happily accepted it.

Lockhart then pulled out a magazine, showed the cover to all the students, and announced loudly:

"This is the latest issue of Women's Wear, and the cover features my photo. It is a gift to Professor Sprout, Dean of Hufflepuff."

You can take it home at night and look at it secretly under the covers. It's the most effective way to kill loneliness. The me in the photo will never leave.

Lockhart blinked.

Professor Sprout's face turned a liverish color.

She didn't look so upset when she heard Snape say the Whomping Willow was damaged.

Lockhart then looked at Professor McGonagall.

McGonagall gripped her wand tightly. If Lockhart dared to give her a book or photograph like that, she would turn him into a peacock!

Even if it means being imprisoned in Azkaban!

But Lockhart didn't give her a book; instead, he presented her with a gold trophy.

"Professor McGonagall, I know you love Quidditch. You must have been very upset that Gryffindor didn't win the Quidditch Cup again last year."

It's okay, though.

While I was chasing a prisoner in Asunción Prison in Paraguay, an indoor Quidditch Match was being held inside the prison.

In the end, I scored 5 goals and provided 6 assists, helping the team Cleansweep the competition 110-20 to win the championship.

This is the "Golden Prisoner Award" trophy, a gift for you. Please cherish it!

Professor McGonagall was so angry that her hands trembled.

Who is being blocked here?

My Gryffindor just didn't want to win!

Lockhart then turned his gaze to Professor Flitwick.

"Professor Flitwick, these are the height-increasing shoes I endorse. I'm giving them to you to make you more confident in the dating market."

I know you must have taken a lot of height-enhancing drugs; this perfectly solved your problem, you lucky old man!

Professor Flitwick buried his face in his hands, refusing to take the pink high heels.

Lockhart finally looked at Professor Snape.

He laughed and said, "Snape, you'll be very surprised! My gift to you is the shampoo I invented."

This product uses Occamy Egg yolk as its main ingredient, which can lock in shine and keep your hair from getting greasy.

As everyone knows, my secret ambition is to eliminate evil from the world and sell my own line of hair care products, which I've written about in several of my books... You'll be a loyal customer."

Cho looked at Lockhart with an incredulous expression. "Oh, Merlin, what's he doing?"

William laughed silently, his whole body trembling. He never expected that Lockhart would offend the deans of four colleges in just a few minutes.

Lockhart was amazing.

etc...

Occamy Egg?

Like Hallucinogenic Mushroom, Occamy Egg are also a key ingredient in Felix Felicis, and they are quite expensive.

William could ask for some shampoo to extract the Occamy Egg components.

Doesn't this save us the money for Occamy Egg?

William is a genius!

It seems he needs to cultivate a good relationship with Professor Lockhart so he can take advantage of him.

After Lockhart delivered the gifts, the atmosphere became somewhat awkward, and everyone resumed eating.

When the dinner party ended, Dumbledore cleared his throat, stood up, and spoke.

"Oh, now that everyone has eaten and drunk their fill, I'd like to say a few more words."

"Attention first-year students: Students are strictly prohibited from entering the Forbidden Forest, and are also not allowed to approach the Whomping Willow near the greenhouse."

I just received information that some students have damaged our precious trees, and the college will take appropriate disciplinary action.

Snape gave a cold laugh, while Professor McGonagall looked somewhat embarrassed.

"What's particularly pleasing," Dumbledore continued, "Is that this year I'm delighted to welcome a new teacher to our ranks."

As you all just saw— Professor Lockhart!

He readily agreed to fill the vacancy in the Defence Against the Dark Arts course, and I am very pleased with his selfless dedication.

Enthusiastic applause rang out in the Great Hall. Lockhart was well-known and handsome, and indeed had many fans.

However, the professors were quite indifferent; almost no one welcomed him.

"Alright, it's time for the annual school song segment!" Dumbledore said happily.

Professor Dumbledore stood on the main stage, serving as the music conductor.

Tonight's performance style has changed again; instead of Ravenclaw House performing alone, students from all four houses will sing together.

Instead of leading the singing, Grey Lady led a group of witches in a dance.

All the seventh-grade witches were inside, and they danced gracefully to the accompaniment of song, led by Grey Lady.

These students are about to graduate and certainly need to leave behind a warm and beautiful campus memory.

William was pleased with the change; the slight modifications he made last year had made the Hogwarts school song segment, which had been unchanging, much more anticipated.

"I never realized there were so many beautiful upperclassmen at our school."

While singing, William secretly muttered something to himself.

Qiu glanced at the seventh-grade witches and said softly, "They're all a bunch of old ladies."

William couldn't help but laugh; seventeen years old was indeed considered an old aunt to a twelve or thirteen-year-old witch.

That being said, the latter is completely incomparable to the former.

William then turned his gaze to Grey Lady.

This was the first time he had ever seen the usually aloof Grey Lady so happy.

"Have you noticed that Bloody Baron Ghost from Slytherin, keeps staring at Grey Lady?" Cho whispered. "He seems to like her."

William nodded; he had indeed noticed that, after all, eyes don't lie.

"By the way, are you sure Grey Lady is a ghost from the Ravenclaw era?"

Qiu said earnestly, "Yes, she said the song we're singing was composed by Ravenclaw himself, and it was the school song of that era."

"Did she mention the Ravenclaw's Diadem?" William asked again.

"No." Qiu shook her head.

Ever since William obtained the Ravenclaw's Ring, the group has never given up searching for the Ravenclaw's Diadem and the Hufflepuff's Cup.

The only clue at present is Grey Lady.

During song rehearsals, she inadvertently admitted that she was a witch from the era of the Four Founders.

But Grey Lady was always aloof, and few people could get close to her, let alone chat with her.

Should we start with the Bloody Baron?

After all, he looks a lot like a simp.

simp

They're always easy to deal with.

Even though he is already dead.

But its spirit lives on.
