#51 - Chapter 51 Model Employee Lockhart
“Gilderoy Lockhart?”
Regulus murmured the name twice.
He had been away from the magical world for a long time and was not very familiar with the people there.
He frowned, raised his right hand, and rubbed his temples, desperately trying to recall the person in his mind.
So familiar!
Who exactly is it?
“I'll give you a hint,” Sebastian said with a bit of a tease, “When we were studying at Hogwarts, we met a special guy! Very, very special!”
“Very special?”
Upon hearing this hint, a unique image emerged in Regulus's mind.
“I know,” Regulus clenched his right fist and gently hammered it into his left palm, realizing, “It's that Ravenclaw kid who loves to show off!”
“He had just enrolled when I was in my fourth year.”
“However, I remember that his grades were mediocre, his strength was mediocre, and besides loving to show off and sensationalize, there was nothing special about him!”
Sebastian smiled mysteriously, “You've misjudged him!”
“His literary talent is extremely high, and apart from being very persistent about fame and fortune, he is a rare talent!”
“Alright, it's getting late.” Sebastian stood up and bid farewell to Regulus, “I'll introduce him to you when the opportunity is right.”
“Oh, and secretly let you know, his memory magic is very exquisite!”
“If you encounter competitors who don't play by the rules, I can arrange for Lockhart to take action and implant a small idea into those guys' brains.”
“A small idea of 'no longer making things difficult for you', what do you think?”
“Alright, alright,” Regulus pushed Sebastian towards the door, “Go home quickly, your wife Mia must be getting anxious.”
“As for me, I'll try to use Muggle methods to deal with problems!”
“Of course, I'm not a pedantic person either, when I encounter disgusting guys, I will definitely ask you for help!”
......
After returning home, Sebastian did not immediately wash up and go to bed.
He went to the study and picked up the letter Lockhart had written to him and began to read it.
Lockhart is a talent, but he has a strong vanity and loves to exaggerate!
Sebastian had to check from time to time to make sure that Lockhart's behavior did not have any flaws.
In fact, Sebastian was very curious about Lockhart being sorted into Ravenclaw by the Sorting Hat.
He always felt that such a guy who was unusually persistent about fame and fortune should have been sorted into Slytherin.
After Lockhart enrolled, Sebastian observed him for three years.
Unlike the hardworking Ravenclaws, he had no pursuit of knowledge.
He thought about becoming famous all day long, either bragging or thinking about making trouble for a big news story.
Students avoided him, and even the professors were a little unwelcome to him.
If it weren't for his memories of his previous life, Sebastian would have only thought that this was a useless person.
But he clearly remembered that in the original book, Lockhart, in addition to having a powerful memory charm, was also a very famous writer.
In the Harry Potter fan community in his previous life, when Lockhart was mentioned, everyone discussed his Obliviate spell and the fact that he was a liar.
People often overlooked his identity as a writer.
It is undeniable that the stories in Lockhart's books were all stolen from others.
But many people have overlooked that Lockhart relied on his own true abilities to write these stories in a thrilling and engaging way.
Sebastian had been eyeing this guy early on, wanting to take him for his own use.
After Lockhart graduated, he arranged for people to keep an eye on Lockhart's every move.
He knew that Lockhart would not be content with loneliness.
When Lockhart traveled to Armenia, Sebastian knew that the time had come.
He came to Armenia in person!
When Lockhart attacked an old Armenian wizard, he descended from the sky and caught him red-handed.
It was actually very simple to subdue Lockhart, just give him a blow and then a sweet treat.
Under Sebastian's coercion and enticement, Lockhart willingly became Sebastian's employee.
Now, Lockhart is not only the most famous writer in the magical world, but also the head of Swann Media.
Early the next morning, Sebastian rushed to Swann Media.
He had to meet Lockhart and knock him into shape.
Now is a crucial stage in the development of Swann Media, and Sebastian must pay extra attention to Lockhart.
The moment he saw Lockhart, Sebastian felt a slight headache.
Although this guy is a talent, he is really too noisy, if he is not paid attention to for two months, he can make a big news story.
“Sebastian,” Lockhart greeted him with a big smile, “The winner of 'Witch Weekly's' Most Charming Smile has come to greet you in person, don't you feel very honored?”
Lockhart kept adjusting his angle, showing Sebastian the most charming smile in his mind.
Sebastian turned a blind eye to Lockhart's smile, walked straight past him, and walked towards Lockhart's office.
“How is the filming of 'Wandering with Werewolves' going? What's the situation now? Has it wrapped up?”
Talking about his work, Lockhart immediately became excited.
He didn't feel tired either, he had just sat down and jumped up from the chair, jumping up and down in the office.
“I personally adapted 'Wandering with Werewolves' into a 36-episode TV series!”
“While serving as the director, I personally played the leading role!”
“When it is broadcast on magical television, I will definitely become the hottest star in the magical world!”
“Stop! Stop! Stop!” Looking at Lockhart jumping up and down, Sebastian was speechless, and quickly stretched out his hands to make a stop sign, “Sit down! Speak properly!”
“It's already wrapped up, and now it's the final editing stage! By the way, I'm going to take a few promotional posters, can you help me take a look!”
Lockhart jumped up from the chair again and struck various poses in front of Sebastian.
“Look, doesn't this make me look tall and handsome?”
“Doesn't this make me look like a lone hero?”
“Or, can I use my smile as a selling point?”
It's a pity that human joys and sorrows are not the same!
Perhaps it was because of preconceived notions, looking at Lockhart constantly posing, Sebastian didn't think he was handsome at all, he just thought it was a bit of an eyesore.
He waved his hand, squeezed out a smile on his face, and called Lockhart to stop again, praising him against his will.
“They're all very handsome! You can choose one yourself!”
“Or, make a few more versions of the posters, remember to make posters for the other actors too, don't just be beautiful by yourself!”
“You have a good eye!” Lockhart was delighted, “The audience will definitely be impressed by my powerful performance!”
Suddenly, Lockhart's smile disappeared, and he looked at Sebastian resentfully, bringing up old grudges again.
“It's a pity that the names of these characters are not me, they are just fictional!”
“If you hadn't stopped me, I would have changed the memory of that old Armenian wizard and put the story on my name.”
“There's no need to take out a large sum of Galleons to give to that old wizard!”
“Unlike now, I'm just a writer in everyone's eyes, not a powerful wizard.”
Lockhart clasped his hands together and pleaded pitifully.
“Help me, Sebastian!”
“I want everyone to think I am a powerful wizard.”
“I want to be more famous!”
