Start by logging into the Old Man's Ring at Hogwarts

Although Harry and Ron didn't know the truth, they both felt nauseous listening to Lockhart's long self-praise.

However, the truth is often held by a minority.

The unsuspecting second-grade witches were completely captivated by Lockhart's "charming" smile.

They stared intently at the figure pacing back and forth on the platform, as if he possessed some unknown magic that drew their attention.

“Great, I see you’ve all bought my entire collection.”

Lockhart's words left Ron with a lot of questions.

Didn't you tell us to buy it?

The book was ridiculously expensive, filled with adventure stories, which cost the whole family a fortune to buy a set.

If it weren't for Harry's clever idea of ​​having all the school children in their family share one set of equipment, they probably would have been starving for the next few months.

"Today's lesson can begin with a short quiz. The content is very simple, and as long as you have carefully read my book, you can get a high score."

Lockhart carried the test papers and slowly handed them out.

At this moment, Hermione was completely certain that the author she once admired was nothing more than a pretty face with no substance.

He wouldn't even use a levitation spell to distribute the exam papers.

When everyone received their exam papers, Zicomo hated for the first time why his memory was so good.

During summer vacation, out of boredom, he read all of Lockhart's novels, and I must say, his writing is quite good. The stories are very well polished.

But Zicomo's photographic memory allowed him to clearly remember every detail of the novel.

In other words, Zicomo could get a perfect score on this test.

This was the first time he had ever hated a perfect score so much.

In the end, Zicomo decided to throw the exam paper aside, too lazy to do it.

Lani, equally disdainful of answering such pointless questions, pulled out her iPad and started playing Plants vs. Zombies.

Draco followed suit, tossing aside his quill and starting to stare blankly.

Hermione, however, remembered that she had to cheat Lockhart out points, and despite feeling disgusted, she filled out the test paper.

Thirty minutes later, Lockhart was flipping through the collected exam papers.

"Tsk tsk, almost no one remembers that my favorite color is lilac. Only Hermione..."

After saying that, he winked at Hermione.

At that moment, Hermione experienced for the first time what it felt like to have goosebumps all over her body.

Even the idea of ​​earning credits for the college is no longer so appealing.

Zicomo, who was standing nearby, overheard something interesting.

This guy sells hair care products?

Good grief, this is stealing business from Harry's family!

Zicomo remembered that Harry's grandfather invented a quick-smoothing hair product that was similar to conditioner.

Moreover, the Potter family's wealth multiplied as a result.

Could this guy be trying to get close to Harry, besides trying to ride on the Savior's fame, also hoping to get the formula for the quick-smooth hair serum from Harry?

"Oh, I noticed that a few junior wizards handed in blank papers. Is there some difficulty? They didn't even write their names. Can you tell me who they are?"

Lockhart flipped to the back of the exam paper and asked in surprise.

However, the students who handed in blank papers completely ignored him, leaving him sitting dumbfounded on the podium.

This guy, being a teacher, probably spends most of his time dressing up.

There isn't even a basic roster for the teachers. Now, it's even worse; they can't even name a few people.

“Ahem, it seems these young wizards have some embarrassing questions. No problem, you can write to me after class.” Lockhart covered his embarrassment with a cough, and then continued, “Let’s move on to the next part.”

He walked to the cage next to the podium and said in a low voice:

"My duty is to teach you how to fight the most evil creatures known to the magical world. You will face the most terrifying things in this classroom."

"But!" he suddenly raised his voice, "with me here, you will not be harmed in any way."

"Now, face them!"

With that, he yanked off the curtain covering the cage.

The creatures inside the cage were revealed—a group of mischievous Cornish elves.

The little blue sprite wasn't even as thick as an adult's arm.

The stark contrast drew a burst of laughter from everyone.

"Laugh all you want, Simo?"

Lohat spotted Simo, who was laughing the loudest, and then opened the cage door.

The little elves swarmed out and made a mess of the classroom.

Zicomo cast an Ironclad Charm on his friends and then watched the show.

The little sprites flew around and pushed all the books on the desk to the ground.

Some of them ran to grab the little wizards' hair and even tore their clothes.

Two others even grabbed Neville by the ears and hung him from the chandelier on the roof.

Zicomo, watching from below, exclaimed how wonderful it was.

It has to be said that Neville is quite tough and resilient.

He was lifted up by both ears, but his ears weren't pulled off, which shows that wizards' physical condition is definitely extraordinary.

Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, Lockhart took out his wand and tried to cast a spell to stop the elves.

The spell failed, and the wand was taken away by the fairies.

Helpless, he ran outside, saying something to the calm people below before leaving.

"The rest of them are yours to catch and put back in their cages."

After saying that, he fled this place of trouble, leaving the others looking at each other in bewilderment.

In the end, Hermione used a Freeze Charm to freeze all the elves, and then everyone worked together to catch them and put them back in their cages.

While catching them, Zicomo considered whether to throw a few into the 'Zen Garden'.

But then he thought about it and realized that his garden didn't need such a mischievous creature.

The class ended in a farce, with even the teacher disappearing to who-knows-where.

As the group of five walked down the corridors of Hogwarts, Hermione complained, "I didn't learn anything useful in this class."

Zicomo smiled and said, "At least we didn't come away empty-handed."

As he spoke, he pulled a white magic wand from his pocket.

“This is Lockhart’s wand?” Hermione recognized it.

"Nonsense, this is an unclaimed magic wand."

Zicomo countered, emphasizing the words "ownerless".

The little witch immediately understood what he meant.

"You're not planning to return it to him?"

Upon hearing this, Harry and Ron, who were standing nearby, understood what Zicomo meant.

These two had just been publicly criticized by the school, so they didn't dare to cause any trouble.

Ron, in particular, had just been scolded by his mother, who told him to behave himself in the future.

He said worriedly, "Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

"Oh? Really? But I was thinking of modifying it and giving it to you. Wasn't your wand broken?"

Zicomo drawled out his words.

Upon hearing Zicomo's words, Ron immediately changed his tune:

"Ahem, I think this is a good idea. Lockhart makes so much money selling books anyway, so getting a new wand isn't a big deal for him."

"No, this is the wand you, Zicomo, picked up. We don't know who its owner is, so it could be me."

Zicomo's exceptional alchemical skills were widely recognized within his circle of friends.

So he said that if we make some modifications, there will be absolutely no problem.

Ron has been worrying about his wand these past few days.

On the night he arrived at school, he bumped into the Whomping Willow. All his luggage was fine, but his wand broke in two.

Now that it's bound with tape, it can't even use the most basic levitation spell properly.

Now that such a good thing has fallen into his lap, Ron is the first to wholeheartedly agree.

Hermione and Harry, who were standing nearby, thought they should teach Lockhart, the fraudster, a lesson and agreed to the idea.
