"So you come to the library to read to relieve boredom?" Kong Nuo asked, "The crisis has been temporarily lifted? Why do I always feel that you seem to understand everything?"
"Do you have any relatives at the school who informed you that the school is now safe?"
Luna smiled slightly, "That's not true. But I saw Minister Fudge coming to school before, and he didn't seem to look so good when he went back."
"My dad told me a lot, about Headmaster Dumbledore and Minister Fudge, that their relationship didn't start like that."
"Minister Fudge would often write to ask Headmaster Dumbledore for advice, but as time went by, Minister Fudge stopped writing."
"Oh... I felt that I could do it, so I drifted away." Kong Nuo instantly got the meaning of Luna's words, "How does your father know so much?"
"My dad is the editor of The Quibbler! He knows a lot!" Luna said proudly.
"You can indeed get a lot of gossip." Kong Nuo nodded. "No wonder I think Fudge and the principal don't deal with it very much. It turns out that I think I can get rid of the shadow of the principal."
Luna nodded, seeing the novel that Kong Nuo had just closed, "Holiday with a Hag? Professor Kong, do you like reading romance novels? It's a little surprising!"
"I don't like it, I'm about to die of dog blood." Kong Nuo sighed, "I'm just bored, so I found something to pass the time. It's a pity that there are no martial arts novels in this world, and the Internet is not yet developed, and there are no web articles yet. "
Perhaps because of Luna's eccentric temperament, Kong Nuo said all the things he wanted to complain about in his heart.
"Is that so?" Luna pulled the backpack behind her back to her front, "I think this book should be suitable for you. The story inside is great, and I think it's a bit beyond Professor Lockhart's level."
"The content in the book is also very interesting, with a strong sense of reality. It tells the story of a train that disappeared and appeared in front of an ordinary wizard."
"Walking with Trolls?" Kong Nuo read out the title of the book, "This book...Looks like Lockhart gave me a copy last time, but he took it away again, saying it wasn't a hardcover edition."
Luna shook the book in her hand, "This is the hardcover edition."
Kong Nuo raised his eyebrows, and found that it had the same appearance as the one Lockhart took away last time.
Is there something wrong with this Lockhart?
With such doubts in mind, Kong Nuo opened "Walking with Trolls" and turned to the pages of the prologue.
"This is my last day in Sulian. I took the train back to the hotel as usual. There is only this magic train outside the forest, so the train is delayed for more than ten minutes before arriving at the station. That is also a common occurrence."
Kong Nuo touched his chin, feeling that this content seemed familiar.
"Today's situation is different. The train arrived at the station more than ten minutes earlier. At that time, it was too dark around, and the chandelier on the platform was also flickering. I didn't notice the old mottled on the train."
"..."
"However, when I woke up, I realized that I was experiencing a nightmare, a nightmare that I had never dreamed before!"
Kong Nuo frowned, and began to flip through it quickly, and found that almost all of the above plots matched another novel he had read.
Only a small part of the content has been changed in it. If I have to describe it, it is to replace all the No.1 point of view inside with a third person point of view, that's all.
Kong Nuo rubbed the space between his brows, and asked a question, "Speaking of...does the wizarding world have any laws about plagiarism?"
Luna shook her head, "Professor Kong, why do you ask such a question?"
"Hmm..." Kong Nuo thought for a moment, "Are you a Lockhart fan?"
"No." Luna shook her head again, "Although many people in our college like Professor Lockhart, I don't think he seems so sincere, so..."
Connor held up the "Walking with Trolls", "I have read a novel written by ordinary people...that is, what you call Muggles, called "Ghost Train", the plot in it is almost the same as this "Walking with Trolls" "Peering" is exactly the same."
"Oh?" Luna was not surprised at all. "Is that so? My dad told me. He once told me that Professor Lockhart is not a good person. Is that what he meant?"
Kong Nuo suddenly began to doubt the composition of "The Quibbler". How did he feel that this newspaper, which he had never heard of, was a supporter of conspiracy theories.
It's pure association based on experience provided by years of surfing the web.
"Forget it, anyway, this kind of thing is none of my business." Kong Nuo shrugged, "If there are too many comments, there may be a possibility that people will say that I am jealous."
"There are indeed such concerns." An old man's voice suddenly sounded, it was Dumbledore's voice.
Connor turned around and waved at Dumbledore, "Headmaster, are you coming to the library to have fun too?"
Dumbledore smiled slightly, "I just wanted to go to the restricted area to pick up a reference book, and I seem to have heard something interesting."
"Ahem... I just suspect that this matter may not be right." Connor told Dumbledore everything about Lockhart's visit to his office.
By the way, he also showed Dumbledore the book "Walking with Trolls", and told his inference just now.
"Is that so?" Dumbledore flipped through the "Walking with Trolls" casually, "There is indeed such a possibility."
"Wizards nowadays have some things that are against Muggles, including their household items, books and magazines. However, there is one very interesting thing."
"Whether it is the founding of the "Daily Prophet" or the use of magic cameras to take magical images later, it is inseparable from the enlightenment of Muggles."
"Lockhart is a person with a very flexible mind. It is not impossible for him to do this kind of thing in order to find a shortcut."
Kong Nuo raised his eyebrows, "Principal, why do you feel that you have suspected him?"
Dumbledore nodded, "That's true. I happened to meet the person involved, so I learned some of Lockhart's secrets."
"Then you still recruit him into the school?" Kong Nuo asked doubtfully.
"Because the students can learn something from it, whether it's good or bad." Dumbledore looked at Luna, "Miss Lovegood, do you understand anything from this incident?"
Luna nodded and said with a smile: "As long as you take a shortcut, you will fall into the water one day. If you care too much about the glory in front of you, you may be hurt by it."
"Ravenclaw House, what a clever boy." Dumbledore smiled with satisfaction.
After Luna left, Dumbledore said to Connor: "You also discovered Lockhart's secret, so there are some things I need to tell you, and you can choose whether to participate or not."
Kong Nuo asked: "Is it dangerous? If not, I will not participate."
Dumbledore's smile widened, "It's a pretty dangerous thing. I suspect that Lockhart is the current heir..."
"Do you have any relatives at the school who informed you that the school is now safe?"
Luna smiled slightly, "That's not true. But I saw Minister Fudge coming to school before, and he didn't seem to look so good when he went back."
"My dad told me a lot, about Headmaster Dumbledore and Minister Fudge, that their relationship didn't start like that."
