Hogwarts, Headmaster's Office.

Dumbledore watched Lockhart walk out of the Headmaster's Office, flicked his wand, and closed the door to the Headmaster's Office.

"What do you think?" Dumbledore asked, looking at the portraits of past principals next to him.

"It doesn't look like a dark wizard." The portrait of Principal Delise Devante jumped out first and said, "A typical Ravenclaw wizard, extremely intelligent and with a strong desire for research."

"He is a qualified professor!"

"Hmph!" Principal Black's portrait snorted, "Of course you can say good things to him, he is from your Ravenclaw house."

"I feel that he is more suitable for Slytherin House. Look, just now he was thinking of dragging Dumbledore into his club."

"Okay, stop talking." The portrait of the previous principal Armando Dippet interrupted, "Let's listen to what Albus said first."

Looking at Principal Dippet's gaze, Dumbledore said thoughtfully: "At the moment, there is no problem."

"He is a genius and a good young talent. The runes he just talked about really opened my eyes."

"At least one thing is certain. He is different from Quirrell and has nothing to do with Voldemort."

At the end of the sentence, Dumbledore also had a hint of smile in his words.

In any case, Voldemort is the most troublesome, and the changes in his old friend can be investigated slowly later.

but

There was another thing that surprised him.

He had previously planned to explore the thoughts in Lockhart's mind by ingesting divine thoughts.

Just when he was about to cast the spell, he found that his mental power seemed to have encountered an obstacle.

This obstacle is very weak, and he can break through it with a little force, thus learning Lockhart's thoughts.

but

This will definitely arouse the other party's vigilance.

After all, it is not a very polite thing to use ingestion of divine thoughts on a wizard.

Especially if you are discovered, it will only arouse the hostility of the other party.

Therefore, Dumbledore chose to give up, and at the same time he felt a little emotional.

Such a clever method, it seems that Lockhart has indeed had many adventures in recent years.

Well, Lockhart's previous performance had weakened Dumbledore's inner doubts a lot.

"I think there are some things to deal with. Let's talk among ourselves first." After thinking for a while, Dumbledore said.

As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand, and the phoenix beside the window flew up and landed on his arm.

Bang! !

Then, a golden flame appeared with a "bang" and disappeared together with Dumbledore's figure.

Hogsmeade, Lockhart's home.

"Clean up!"

Lockhart emerged from the magic fireplace at home and once again cast a cleaning spell on himself.

Watching the original dust disappear, Lockhart secretly decided that he must study Karma Taj's teleportation magic.

Although it is not as suitable for combat as Apparition, it is definitely the best choice for those who are on the road.

Even if you can never learn again.

No matter what, a magic item with a constant cleaning spell must be formulated.

Teleported through the magic fireplace, accidentally, he was covered in ashes.

This was hard to accept for Lockhart, who was a bit mystical and focused on appearance.

He said that if you can do without the magic fireplace, then definitely don't do it.

Then, return to your study.

He touched the necklace hanging around his neck and raised the corners of his mouth slightly. The preparations made in advance were indeed effective.

Since we knew in advance that Dumbledore was good at absorbing divine thoughts, we had to find ways to guard against him.

The function of this necklace is very simple, it is a warning.

As long as someone feels that someone is forcibly using the ability to absorb spiritual thoughts or spiritual aspects, the necklace will light up for everyone to see.

Although it does not have a strong defensive effect, it is very effective against people like Dumbledore.

A gentleman can deceive others. It would be better if people like Dumbledore were not discovered.

Once there is a possibility of discovery, he is too considerate of other people's thoughts and chooses to stop taking action.

So is reality.

He only felt the necklace touch slightly, but there was no reaction.

If it were Voldemort.

Humph, you actually have a magic item on your body that can resist the ingestion of divine thoughts.

Cut out the bones! ! !

The scene of Noseless Voldemort, who directly cast the Cruciatus Curse without listening to his subordinates' explanations, suddenly appeared in Lockhart's mind, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

but

There was one thing that disappointed Lockhart.

He saw Dumbledore asking him about runes before, and he was very happy in his heart.

He quickly introduced the runes eloquently.

result

The more he introduced, the more excited he became, but Dumbledore didn't seem to feel much, and just nodded or praised from time to time.

Somewhat perfunctory! ! !

Shouldn't everyone like such a good thing?

Lockhart thought.

No, the great cause of studying runes requires Dumbledore's participation.

Otherwise, without the endorsement of the White Devil Dumbledore, he might be besieged by a group of pure-blood families before he even started.

Although Lockhart looked down on those pure-blood families, there was no denying their strength and influence.

They will watch helplessly as a brand new magic system affects their status and rights.

What nonsense! ! !

Lockhart put himself in his shoes for a moment.

Who dares to interrupt his magic research and ruin his plan.

He had to take the wand and kill him in front of him. Even if he couldn't defeat him directly, wasn't there an indirect method?

The nuclear bombs in the Muggle world are not empty. Even if the nuclear bombs are not effective, he can still get hold of machine guns, rocket launchers, and high explosives.

Of course, Lockhart was also thinking about it.

He is not as arrogant as Grindelwald. If he really did such a thing in front of the wizarding world, I am afraid that like Grindelwald, he would have to face the encirclement and suppression of the entire wizarding world, and even Dumbledore would have to take action.

not to mention.

The magical world also has prophecies and divination, which are unscientific but very magical.

No, when he thought of this, Lockhart felt a sense of urgency in his heart.

Later, I must get close and close to Trelawney, the Divination Professor at Hogwarts.

Platform nine and three-quarters.

Lockhart was wearing a common wizard robe, holding a suitcase in his left hand and holding his wand in his right hand. He stood in the waiting area next to him, waiting quietly.

Although it was said that you could take the magic fireplace directly to Hogwarts, Lockhart clearly expressed his refusal to the magic fireplace!

Well, it was actually Lockhart who was interested in the Hogwarts Express.

On the one hand, it’s because in his previous life, the Hogwarts Express was one of the most classic scenes for many Harry Potter fans.

He experienced it himself, and it was like fulfilling a dream from his previous life.

On the other hand, he wanted to explore how the magic train works.

Because as far as the information he has is concerned, the magic and technology in the Harry Potter world are in conflict with each other.

in short.

There's magic, there's no technology There's technology, there's no magic.

Therefore, Hogwarts, including many wizarding families, does not have Muggle technological equipment.

He heard that the trains in Hogwarts were transformed through magic, and he wanted to learn from the experience.

When he returns to the Marvel world, he might be able to shine.

Therefore, Lockhart came to the waiting platform early and waited for the train.

Before long, the waiting platform was filled with a large number of Hogwarts students.

The little wizards in first and second grade may be still young, and their parents are accompanying them.

But most of the fourth and fifth grade students were waiting alone with their luggage, and their parents had already left.

At this moment, Lockhart had already cast a spell on himself to reduce his sense of presence - these little wizards were too annoying.

Especially the little wizard who keeps chirping is not cute at all.

I wonder if he likes silence!

Waited for a while again! !

Bang! Bang! clang

The sound of a train arriving at the station was heard in his ears. Lockhart looked at the slightly worn Hogwarts Express, which was mainly black and mixed with red, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

Seeing a large number of young wizards pouring into it, they stood there quietly with complicated expressions in their eyes.

This is the atmosphere of school!

It feels so familiar. In my previous life, when the university had just opened, I could see a large number of students dragging a large amount of luggage in at the gate of the school, pouring in like water.

Unfortunately, in the two years before his death, for safety reasons, the school issued a policy to restrict the flow of people, so it was rarely seen.

Today I saw him again. Even though he was in another world, I still felt a sense of intimacy in my heart.

This may be a role model for others.

Although

Currently teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts courses.

Lockhart watched quietly. He saw the restraint of the first-year wizard and the excitement of the second-year wizard.

At the same time, we also observed the reluctance and nostalgia of the senior students for their holiday life.

This scene seems familiar and quite nostalgic.

My heart is clear and calm, neither sad nor happy.
