Chapter 147: Lockhart's Novel

As if he had noticed something, Mike suddenly turned his head and looked at the corner of the auditorium. However, there was nothing but an empty seat.
"What's the matter with you?" Penello asked in surprise.
"It's nothing."
Although nothing was said on his lips, Mike's eyes remained locked near the empty seat.
He just clearly felt that someone there was staring at him viciously. Could that person be...
"Mike! What are you waiting for? Go back to the Ravenclaw lounge!" Roger Davis, the captain of the Ravenclaw team, grabbed Mike's shoulder and excitedly said, "We are now number one in the standings. , Senior Sister Carol has prepared a celebration banquet for us!"
Roger, who appeared suddenly, surprised Mike in thought, and after hearing what he said, Mike instinctively wanted to refuse.
Mike also has to go to the responsive room for training. Quidditch training and games take up a lot of Mike's time. This makes Mike have to squeeze all his free time for spell training, you know, the top 8 of the duel contest will start soon.
However, before Mike could speak, the other players of the Ravenclaw team all fell into the stands, lifted Mike up and rushed into Hogwarts Castle.
Mike will disappear immediately after every game, never participate in their celebrations, this time he must not be allowed to escape again.
Mike struggled but it was useless. With his current physical strength, he couldn't resist the five big men. Penello, who was on the side, was originally a little surprised, but after Qiu Zhang bit her ear for a while, Roger and others were allowed to carry Mike away.
However, it turns out that Mike is still unable to attend their celebration banquet today.
As soon as everyone carried Mike into Hogwarts Castle, Lockhart appeared on their only way.
"Oh! Boys, I don't know if I can borrow your big stars for a while?" Lockhart said with a gentleman's salute, smiling.
Although Roger and the others were reluctant, they still did not dare to defy the professor's order, and they agreed and put Mike down.
"looking for me?"
Mike, who was put down, tidyed up his messed Quidditch uniform, approached Lockhart and asked.
"It's not suitable to say here, go to my office."
Seeing Lockhart's serious expression, Mike agreed, and after bidding farewell to Roger and the others, he followed Lockhart to the office of the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts.
Lockhart’s office is very characteristic of ‘Lockhart’. The walls of the office are covered with portraits of Lockhart’s magic, and there is a good smell in the air.
"The outline of my novel is finished, so please review it." Lockhart took out a set of exquisite porcelain teapots from the drawer and made a cup of black tea for Mike.
"Outline? In other words, your text hasn't started yet?" Mike noticed that Lockhart deliberately emphasized the word'review' when he said this sentence, using his right hand with a Quidditch metal guard. He slammed the desk, "What are you doing all this time? Do you hide in this office and watch the X photos sent to you by those stupid women?
Do you think I can't treat you like that after signing the contract? Dare to talk to me in this tone now! what? "
"Don't get excited! Writing novels is not as easy as you thought. Really! In addition, there have been a lot of duel competitions recently, so it was delayed." Seeing Mike's anger, Lockhart quickly defended, "Right, I There is also an information here, you will love it."
After that, Lockhart hurriedly took out a roll of parchment from the drawer and placed it respectfully in front of Mike.
He continued to stare at Lockhart for a long time, and saw that he was still cowering and Mike retracted 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, which represented the four colleges:
Bruno Opal (Gryffindor)
Willie Parker (Slytherin)
Mike Towny (Ravenclaw)
Cedric Diggory (Hufflepuff)
"This is the list of the top 12 in the duel competition. The top four are seeded players from the four major academies." Seeing Mike's expression of interest, Lockhart hurried to explain.
Mike nodded slightly, he knew all the people above.
Bruno of Gryffindor is the male student chairperson who was beaten by Carol, the chairwoman of the Girls’ Student Union, with a group of Ravenclaw girls at the beginning of school, and Willie is the recognized leader of Slytherin, in the seventh grade this year.
In addition to these four names written in special ink, eight other names are written in ordinary black ink on the parchment.
Mike had just glanced at it for the first time when he was attracted by the first name in the row, and saw that it read: Percy Weasley.
Mike's impression of Percy is still very deep, not only because he is the brother of George and Fred, but also because he has some unrealistic fantasies about his girlfriend Penello~www.mtlnovel. com~ I was not surprised that Percy was able to qualify for the top 12 in the duel contest. After all, although Percy has some flaws in his personality and loves vanity and power, he still has talent and strength.
Otherwise, he would not be the chairman of the Boys Student Union in the original book, and he would not become a subordinate of Barty Crouch, who was then the director of the International Magic Exchange and Cooperation Department after graduation.
To be honest, if it goes well, Percy's blood and talents might eventually become a senior official of the Ministry of Magic.
Out of instinct for his rivals, Mike still asked for information about Percy.
"How is this Percy doing."
"Very good! He is the strongest of these eight people, and the only player who has completed all the games without injury." Lockhart saw Mike asking himself, and came up very doggically, "I am here if you need it. All the detailed information of all above, including combat analysis, can be provided to you."
Mike raised his head and took a deep look at Lockhart, seeing that his attitude was very upright, without the slightest unconvinced appearance at the beginning, the corners of his mouth twitched.
"Give it to me, with your outline."
"Yes! Give it to you. Are you leaving now? Sit for a while? This is premium Kenyan black tea." Halfway through, Lockhart patted his head and said, "Look at me. Mind, you must be anxious to attend the celebration banquet, right? To be honest, you really play ball..."
Seeing his crazy flattering appearance, Mike's head grew big, and he took a dozen files from Lockhart and left the office.
However, unlike Lockhart's guess, after Mike left, he did not go to the lounge to attend Roger's celebration banquet, but went straight to the responsive room.
