Chapter 97: Ice Field

"So, you haven't read my book at all, right, Miss Lowell?" Lockhart asked, looking at Irina.

Facing the gaze of the entire classroom, Irina had to lie that her book was stolen.

For this obvious lie, the narcissistic Lockhart believed it. He nodded and said, "Yes, who doesn't like Gilderoy Lockhart's books?! Maybe some little thief admires me too much, can't afford my books, and finally set his sights on poor Miss Lowell. It seems that being admired is also a mistake!"

Lockhart closed his eyes, put his hands on his head, and brushed his hair, pretending to be lonely at the top.

When Lockhart opened his eyes, he saw Irina with a sad expression. He believed that she was sad because she lost her book and thought that she was also one of his little fans.

So, Lockhart looked at Irina and said, "As your Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, after careful consideration, I have decided to give you a set of my books, Miss Lowell!"

Irina said helplessly, "Thank you so much, Professor!"

Little did she know that her sadness at the moment had nothing to do with Lockhart's books. Irina's sadness was purely because she was socially embarrassed in the whole classroom.

Damn Lockhart, why did he read out the answers to every question he asked!

Irina wanted to cry but had no tears.

Lockhart waved his wand. Although his magic level might not be as good as that of a fifth-year wizard, he could still cast the simplest levitation spell.

A set of Lockhart's books floated up from his podium and landed on Irina's desk.

After giving Irina his own books, Lockhart began to mark other people's papers. In the end, only Hermione got full marks in the whole classroom, which made Lockhart add ten points to Gryffindor.

"Now, let's get back to business! Be careful, my mission is to teach you to resist the most evil things known to the wizarding world! You will face the most terrifying things in this classroom. But remember, as long as I am here, you will not be harmed. I only ask you to stay calm."

Lockhart bent down and took out a large cage covered with a cloth from behind the podium and put it on the table.

"I must ask you not to scream, that will anger them!" Lockhart said, lifting the cover.

Inside, a group of ugly pixies appeared. These pixies were iron blue, about eight inches tall, with small pointed faces, and very shrill, piercing voices.

Lockhart announced proudly, "Good, the Cornish pixies we just caught!"

Seeing these pixies, the boys in the classroom couldn't help but sneer.

The most terrifying thing?! That's it?!

This is probably what the young wizards were thinking.

You know, two years ago, when Professor Wallison Green was the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts, the first lesson he taught to first-year students was about the dangerous level XXXXX Acromantula. Although Irina didn't attend Professor Green's class, she had heard about it from her seniors.

Compared with the dangerous level XXXXX Acromantula, the Cornish pixies were nothing.

But Lockhart said they were the most evil creatures in the world, which was really ridiculous.

Seeing the little wizards looking down on them, Lockhart was a little annoyed, and he just said, "Well, let's see how you deal with them!"

Lockhart said, opening the cage door directly.

The Cornish pixies that had escaped from the cage were like wild horses, jumping up and down in the whole classroom, causing damage.

Some Cornish pixies smashed the windows, scattering broken glass all over the back row of the classroom; some grabbed the ink bottles on the little wizards' desks and splashed ink all over the classroom; some tore the pictures on the wall and the waste bins on the ground into pieces, and even some little wizards' backpacks and textbooks were thrown out by them.

The little wizards in the classroom were only in the second year, and their spellcasting ability was extremely limited. Even if the Cornish pixies didn't pose a significant threat, they were not something they could easily deal with now.

Perhaps these little wizards all had the ability to fight the Cornish pixies alone, but facing the collective attack of these pixies, they had to hide under the tables.

At this time, Lockhart saw that the situation was almost right, so he planned to control these Cornish pixies. He waved his wand and shouted loudly: "Peskipiksi Pesternomi!"

However, before he could completely release the spell, a Cornish pixie snatched the wand from his hand and threw his wand out of the window.

In the first row of the classroom, Irina and Hermione kept using spells to repel the Cornish pixies who dared to attack them. After these Cornish pixies found that Irina and Hermione were not easy to mess with, they turned around to bully other little wizards, which formed a "vacuum zone" without Cornish pixies around Irina and Hermione.

"Glacius!"

Looking at the Cornish pixies causing trouble, Irina was a little annoyed. She pointed her wand at the ground and shouted.

An ice-blue halo was released from the wand, and then continued to expand in all directions. All the Cornish pixies affected by the ice-blue halo were frozen into ice sculptures, and the space inside the halo was also affected by the magic of the ice element, and the temperature dropped rapidly.

In a few seconds, the entire Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom seemed to have turned into an ice storage. Even the little wizards who were not attacked by Irina's spell felt cold all over.

After all, the temperature in the classroom was probably below minus ten degrees Celsius at this moment!

This spell, called the Freezing Charm, was a variant developed by Irina when she was studying the charm, and her idea came from the magic that was like the ice palace that was accidentally released at Ollivander's Wand Shop that day.

The original Freezing Charm was a single-target control spell in the form of a beam, but Irina changed its release method to release it in the form of an energy wave, so that the original single-target attack spell became a range group control spell.

"If I can reach a higher level of magic in the future, I'm afraid I can really release the ice palace that appeared in Ollivander's Wand Shop that day!"

Irina thought to herself as she looked at the Cornish pixies around her who turned into ice sculptures and fell.
