32. Peskipiksi Pesternomi Fifth Year
Peskipiksi Pesternomi.
A smirk crossed Draco Malfoy’s face as he remembered his second year at Hogwarts. Gilderoy Lockhart was useless, narcissistic and terrible at his job. In Draco’s opinion it just proved that Dumbledore was equally as useless if he was willing to hire someone who was clearly incapable of teaching defence against the dark arts.
Merlin’s beard, Lockhart wouldn’t have been capable of passing a NEWT and that was meant to be a minimum requirement of a professor.
The chaos of that first class with Lockhart, of the quiz that he had administered to them and the pixies he had released and then left the twelve year olds to deal with as he ran away was still memorable. While Draco didn’t want to remember his own reaction, the looks on Potter and Weasley’s faces were still ingrained into his memories.
They were equally as useless; he’d just forget about how he hadn’t been any more useful than them.
Looking down at his OWL though, he immediately knew that the answer to the question was that it wasn’t a legitimate spell.
At least that was one answer guaranteed to be correct. |
