Hogwarts Raven's Claw

Chapter 76 Perfume
Lockhart's arrival made the entire Ravenclaw common room boil. The girls rushed to surround him, and many smart girls took out the books of Lockhart that they had bought before and asked him to sign them.

The other girls who didn't have time to get their books screamed and pulled at the plain robes they were wearing, wanting Lockhart to sign directly on them.

The Ravenclaw library area, which was almost full, was empty in an instant, leaving only a few boys looking at Lockhart surrounded by girls with envy and jealousy. The scene was basically no different from that of star-chasers in the Muggle world.

Seeing this, Mike was about to sneak away, but Lockhart was not going to let him go and reached out to grab him.

"Look, Mike. These fans are so enthusiastic. I think you have never seen such a scene before." Perhaps in order to redeem the bad impression he had left on Mike, Luoha boasted to Mike, "But don't worry. I believe you will have such an opportunity in the future."

After saying that, he took out a gorgeous peacock feather pen from his pocket and began to sign for the girls.

"If you want to become a celebrity, the skill of signing is essential." Lockhart signed his name with Mike and said, "Look at my signature. I asked a literary master to design an artistic signature for me. It is so beautiful. If you need, I can also introduce the master to you."

Mike felt unhappy when he saw Lockhart grabbing his hand. He struggled hard but failed to break free. He felt annoyed. The strength of this body was still much weaker than that of an adult. Finally, Mike took out his wand and quietly used a "Relax Force" on Lockhart, thus escaping from Lockhart's "claws".

Lockhart collapsed to the ground amid the exclamations of the girls. Fortunately, Mike didn't use much magic, so Lockhart recovered quickly, gave the girls he accidentally knocked down an apologetic look, and continued to sign autographs.

Mike got out of the crowd and smelled himself with some disgust. He found that because he had been with Lockhart for too long, he was also stained with some of Lockhart's unique perfume.

Mike was very familiar with this smell. He had seen this kind of perfume when he was shopping with Penelope. It was called "Gourmand Eau de Parfum". It was an extremely expensive men's perfume. According to the clerk, a lot of precious magic materials were added to it.

Its top notes have an effect similar to that of a love potion, which can create everyone's favorite scent and thus gain the favor of others. Of course, the effect is definitely not as good as that of an authentic love potion.

Its middle note has an effect similar to that of a pure drug. Mike's understanding of it is that its middle note can release a large amount of pheromones, thus causing the other party to react.

And its base note is even more powerful. It is said that due to the indescribable scent of fire dragon added in it, it can make people more manly.

Originally, Mike was not interested in perfume, but due to his male instinct, he was particularly impressed by this perfume. However, Mike thought that he did not need this kind of thing at all. With his handsome face, money and strength, what kind of girl could not chase him?
This kind of thing is of course good for use on oneself, but when he thought that the smell on his body came from Lockhart Mike, he felt nauseous and released several in a row towards the place where he had just been caught by Lockhart to clean it up.

Suddenly, an arm stretched out from Mike's arms and hugged Mike's arm.

"Why are you back with Lockhart?" Penelope's voice came over, "What do you smell like? It smells so good."

Penelope's current state is very strange, and her face looks very intoxicated, it's obvious that she has been tricked.

Mike looked at Penelope hugging his arms, and he couldn't help but start to complain in his heart.

Damn! Is this thing so useful?! It is indeed a high-value magical perfume for men. You get what you pay for. Even cleaning it up can't get rid of this smell! No, I'll place an order with the beauty potion store in Diagon Alley! I want to buy one bottle. No! Ten bottles!
Seeing that Penelope's head was about to reach his neck to smell it, Mike hurriedly released it on his body several times again to clean himself up, and only then was the fragrance on his body completely removed.

This is a public place, it would be bad if we made a fool of ourselves.

"Ah! What happened to me?!"

Penelope recovered and found herself almost hanging on Mike, so she screamed and jumped away.

"Don't get excited, you were just bewitched by the Gourmand." Mike looked at Penelope's bewildered look and explained hurriedly.

"What! Are you talking about the infamous low-end version of the love potion? I didn't expect you to be the kind of person who would use this kind of thing!" Penelope's little face turned red and she shouted excitedly.

"Oh! I told you, don't get excited." Mike spread his hands to signal Penelope to calm down. "You saw it too, I was with Lockhart just now, and the smell of perfume on me was accidentally picked up from Lockhart. If you don't believe me, look over there." After saying that, Mike pointed his finger at Lockhart.

At this time, Lockhart had finished signing autographs and was being led by the Head Girl to visit the Ravenclaw Common Room. The highlight of the tour was the wall of fame with Lockhart's portrait hanging on it.

Lockhart seemed to be unaware that his portrait was hung on the Ravenclaw Wall of Fame, and was very surprised. It was not until the Head Girl introduced the origin of the portrait to him that he suddenly realized something.

Mike shrugged it off. Anyone with a little knowledge would know that the creation of a magic portrait requires the participation of the person himself. How could Lockhart not know that his portrait was hung on the wall of fame?

When the Lockhart in the portrait saw the real person coming, he smiled at Lockhart with his signature style. Suddenly, the smiles of the two Lockharts at the same time gave the witches present double the joy. They made some meaningless noises and rushed towards Lockhart with intoxicated faces, as if they wanted to get closer to Lockhart.

Different from the reactions of those girls, the portraits of other people on the Wall of Fame looked at Lockhart who was showing off with disdain, and some old men and women even spit at Lockhart's portrait.

"You believe it now, right?" Mike said to Penelope who was already dumbfounded.

Penelope was so angry that she almost went crazy. She clenched her fists tightly and gritted her teeth. After hearing Mike's words, Penelope did not respond. Instead, she rolled her eyes at Mike and quickly squeezed into the crowd, whispering in the ear of the female student union president.

The female student union president was listening to Penelope's whispers nonchalantly at first, but her infatuated smile soon froze on her face. By the end of the conversation, her face was so gloomy that it seemed like water could be squeezed out of it.

"You are such a person!" the Head Girl roared. "How dare you use cologne, a love potion, to confuse us! We really misjudged you. Sisters, fight!"

Before she could finish her words she kicked him.

The other witches present looked on in amazement as their student union president kicked Lockhart right in the vitals. Lockhart's devilish smile could no longer be maintained, and he collapsed with a look of pain on his face, covering the part of his body that was kicked.

At this time, the other witches quickly recovered from their shock. When they heard about Gulliver's perfume, they angrily joined in beating Lockhart.

Some witches didn't know what Gourmand perfume was, but blushed after a kind person explained it to them.

The boys in the lounge were laughing with glee at Lockhart's miserable condition. Some of them even wanted to go up and kick him a few times. They had long been annoyed with Lockhart, this peacock.

Mike couldn't help but feel a little annoyed when he saw Lockhart being drowned in the crowd. This female student union president from Ravenclaw was really tough. She knocked Lockhart down with one kick. If nothing unexpected happened, the footprints on the vital parts of the male student union president should have been from her feet.

The beating lasted until Professor Flitwick hurried over. The girls who had just been beating Lockhart immediately turned into weak and powerless girls when they saw Professor Flitwick coming, especially the female student union president, who burst into tears and squatted in front of Professor Flitwick, sobbing and telling about Lockhart's evil deeds.

Lockhart was unconscious, his gorgeous turquoise dress had turned into a few rags, hanging limply on his body, and his once smooth golden hair was now a mess like a bird's nest.

Professor Flitwick has always been a person who is more emotional than rational. Facing the crying complaint of the female student union president, he felt like his lungs were about to explode.

Looking at the boys who were laughing and discussing Lockhart's hairstyle not far away, he roared and randomly called out a few boys, asking them to carry Lockhart to the principal's office.

The nature of this matter is extremely bad. Dumbledore must take a good look at what kind of person this Defense Against the Dark Arts professor he found is.

Mike had quietly hidden aside before Professor Flitwick arrived, and was lucky enough not to be chosen by Professor Flitwick.

Seeing Lockhart's miserable appearance, Mike secretly gave up the idea of ​​buying Gourmand perfume. He didn't want to be beaten up by a group of girls like Lockhart.
