After Transfiguration Class, he didn't go directly to eat. Instead, he chased after Professor McGonagall and asked questions about Transfiguration for a full hour before reluctantly leaving.
One must know that every Professor teaches several grades and is very busy. If he didn't seize the opportunity to ask more questions, he might not be able to find them normally.
In the afternoon, Defense Against the Dark Arts Class.
Gilderoy Lockhart, wearing a lavender-colored robe, flamboyantly walked into the classroom and stood on the podium.
"I, Gilderoy Lockhart, Order of Merlin, Third Class, Honorary Member of the Dark Arts Defense League, and five-time winner of Witch Weekly's Most Charming Smile Award—but I don't talk about that. I didn't get rid of the Banshee by smiling!"
His self-proclaimed humorous opening made the boys in the classroom look at each other, while the girls were quite taken with it and excitedly applauded.
"This guy, he's not bad-looking."
Looking at this Wizard who had gained a series of honors through swindling and deceit, George had to admit that his popularity in the Wizarding World, being sought after by Witches of different ages, wasn't just because his books were well-written.
More importantly, it was his handsome appearance and his shameless personality.
However, even though this guy didn't have much real skill, for him, he still had many uses.
In any case, he summarized Lockhart had three good points.
First, good academic credits. As long as you pleased him, unlike other Professors who had many considerations, he would readily give credits.
Second, good authority. Only a Professor could issue notes allowing students to take books from the Restricted Section. If he built a good relationship, he could get notes to the Restricted Section from Lockhart.
Third, good Memory Charm. This guy's other magic was a mess, but in Memory Charm, he had a standard comparable to top Wizards. If he could learn Memory Charm from Lockhart, it would be of great help to him in the Marvel Universe.
So, he didn't plan to slack off in this class.
"I see you've all bought my complete works, which is very good.
So, today we'll start with a small quiz.
Don't be afraid—it's just to see how well you've read and how much you've understood..."
After Lockhart introduced himself, he took out a stack of papers and handed them one by one to the young Wizards in the classroom.
"You have thirty minutes, now—begin!"
George picked up the paper, looking at the questions about Lockhart himself, and quickly had his Marvel body open the computer to look them up.
After Lockhart became the Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor, he replaced all the Defense Against the Dark Arts Class textbooks for first to seventh years with his own seven works.
So George naturally bought them, and he also bought the Defense Against the Dark Arts Class textbook that first-years had used in previous years—"Dark Arts: A Guide to Self-Protection."
He had actually read all seven of Lockhart's works, after all, putting aside the self-aggrandizing content, many of the magical experiences were real experiences of some powerful Wizards.
It was just that those experiences were plagiarized by Lockhart, who then used his Specialties Memory Charm to make those Wizards forget.
Half an hour later, Lockhart collected the papers and began to review and comment on them directly on the podium.
Most of the papers had only a few questions answered correctly. Even those young Witches who liked him could at most answer half correctly, until he turned to George's paper.
"Oh, who is this? George, I know you. You said yesterday morning that you would win back the House Cup for Slytherin. Very good, you are truly very good.
Not only do you know my favorite color, but you also know my most desired birthday present, and my great and noble ambition.
You... you actually answered all my questions correctly, twenty points, twenty points for Slytherin!"
While grading George's paper, the smile on Lockhart's face never faded.
In the Defense Against the Dark Arts Class he had taught these past two days, besides a little girl named Hermione from second-year Gryffindor who answered most of them correctly, very few others scored over half.
But now, a student had answered all of them correctly, and it was the famous Slytherin freshman from these past two days. How could this not make his vanity explode?
"Professor, I feel that there are many magical experiences in your works that are worth studying in depth, so I have read them repeatedly and they are deeply imprinted in my mind."
George raised his hand and said.
And this sentence obviously deeply pleased Lockhart. He came to George with great satisfaction and laughed heartily:
"Don't worry, as long as you work hard, with your magical talent almost approaching mine, one day in the future you will definitely be as successful as I am. I think highly of you."
"Even if I succeed, I will still thank the Professor's guidance. I have always been a grateful person."
A meaningful smile appeared on George's face, and Lockhart's eyes immediately lit up, looking at George with increasing kindness.
"Good, now we will begin reading my work, 'Voyages with Ghouls.' This book has many introductions about Ghouls. I will ask questions randomly, and those who answer correctly will receive points."
And so, by the time Defense Against the Dark Arts Class ended, George had again earned ten points for Slytherin.
So far, in just two days, he alone had already secured a full ninety points for Slytherin, allowing Slytherin to start with a significant lead.
Similarly, after class, he didn't let Lockhart off the hook either.
"Professor, I have some questions about magic that I would like to ask you."
"No problem. Seeing as we are the same kind of people, I can spare some of my precious after-class time to give you some private tutoring."
Lockhart did not refuse, but instead winked at George.
From George's actions yesterday morning and his current performance, he keenly perceived that the other party, like himself, was someone obsessed with fame.
But he didn't dislike George, because George had already shown that they would be mutually beneficial.
The more famous George became, the more famous Lockhart would become. More importantly, he himself relied entirely on deception, while this George was clearly truly gifted.
Such a potential asset, like Harry, could be brought under his wing in advance.
"Professor, I have some interest in the Memory Charm. I wonder if you could..."
Seeing Lockhart agree, George didn't stand on ceremony and went straight to the point.
Lockhart was initially a bit flustered and planned to just fob George off, but upon hearing that it was about the Memory Charm, his only expertise, he immediately puffed out his chest and replied nonchalantly:
"A mere Memory Charm? This is the magic I am least proficient in, but I am still a little better than those guys in the Ministry of Magic's Memory Modification Department."
The Ministry of Magic's Memory Modification Department, part of the Ministry of Magic's Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes, primarily uses the Memory Charm to erase the memories of Muggles who have witnessed the existence of magic, and uses the Repairing Spell to repair buildings damaged by magical combat.
Therefore, the Wizards in this department are among the top Memory Charm and Repairing Spell masters in the Wizarding World.
