Chapter 276 The Philosopher’s Stone and Nico Flamel (two in one)
"Professor Chiquilo, monster."
Harry Potter looked a little panicked, but then he thought of something and murmured to himself: "Fake, it's all fake."
When Lockhart saw this scene, a smile flashed in his eyes, but he still encouraged him: "Harry, face your fears."
"Believe in yourself, and the longer you persist, the better."
Hearing Professor Lockhart's encouragement, Harry gradually calmed down and shouted loudly: "Monster, I'm not afraid of you, you're fake."
"Really?" Quirrell, no, Voldemort, the incarnation of Boggart, slowly walked towards Harry, and said in a hoarse voice: "Although the Philosopher's Stone I wanted is gone, I am still alive."
"When the time comes, not only will your parents die in my hands, but your family and your friends, including Dumbledore, will also die in my hands."
At the same time, Voldemort, who was transformed from the Boggart, seemed to feel something and continued: "And, your Professor Lockhart."
Hearing this, Lockhart couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
It turns out that his status in Harry's heart is not low.
Thoughts turning, Lockhart continued to watch Harry's performance.
At this moment, Harry Potter looked at the monster with a ferocious face getting closer and closer, feeling a little panicked in his heart.
Especially when the other party stretched out his hands to grab it, and at the same time a hoarse voice came from the other party's mouth: "Give me the magic stone, give me the magic stone."
Seeing this, Harry stared at Voldemort and began to dodge to the side, while waving his wand as if he wanted to cast a spell.
But as if he thought of something, he didn't cast the spell directly, he just dodged quickly.
The next moment, Voldemort turned around and suddenly turned into a black mist, flying away like Harry Potter slowly.
When Harry Potter saw this familiar scene, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes, and he shouted: "Monster, you are fake, you are fake, you are dead."
"Am I dead? Am I really dead?" A hoarse voice came from the mist: "If you are so stupid, then your parents died in my hands in vain."
The speculation hidden in his heart was revealed by the monster in front of him, and the anger accumulated in Harry's heart immediately arose.
"Collapse!"
Harry waved his wand vigorously, and in anger, he subconsciously cast his most convenient stun spell.
boom!
A ray of red light shot toward the black mist, and at the same time, a light yellow defensive barrier flashed on the surface of the black mist. With a bang, the spell disappeared, but the black mist still existed.
At the same time, Lockhart's voice came from a distance.
"Harry, cast the Funny Charm, the spell - Funny!"
Hearing Professor Lockhart's reminder, Harry's eyes flashed with disappointment, knowing that according to the rules, his persistence time had just stopped.
While thinking, he waved his wand again and said in a rapid tone: "Funny!"
This time, the light yellow funny spell successfully hit the black mist.
The black gradually faded and turned into white. At the same time, the mist began to roll and the shape began to change.
Soon, a huge white marshmallow appeared in front of many little wizards.
Let all the little wizards exclaim again.
As for Voldemort's ferocious appearance before, although the young wizards were a little surprised, they had seen it too many times before and were not too panicked.
Well, in short, Professor Lockhart's presence will definitely not affect them, it will only affect the young wizards who are undergoing trials.
Now, they were discussing in low voices the information that came out of Quirrell or Voldemort's mouth just now.
Seeing everyone's reactions, Lockhart said gently: "Congratulations to Harry for successfully facing his fear and holding on for 56 seconds."
Hearing Professor Lockhart's words, Harry seemed to have not yet reacted and was a little distracted.
Or maybe he was still thinking about what the monster on the back of Professor Quirrell's head said just now.
Is what Principal Dumbledore said true? Is the other party really dead? Is the murderer of his parents still alive?
"Harry, come here!"
But soon, with Hermione's cry, he came back to his senses, and then returned to the side of the team, acting as an audience to watch Ron's performance.
At this moment, Lockhart looked at the giant marshmallow floating in the air, a smile flashing in his eyes.
Then, with a wave of his hand, Marshmallow quickly transformed and returned to the cabinet.
boom!
With a slight bang, the cabinet door locked.
Lockhart, on the other hand, said to Ron, who was still at the front: "Ron, it's your turn, remember to face your fears."
“Never let fear control you.”
After hearing what Professor Lockhart said, Ron nodded, silently reciting the Funny Charm.
It seems that if something doesn't feel right, cast the spell immediately.
hiss! hiss!
As the cabinet door opened, this time, a huge, hairy spider appeared.
I saw 8 densely packed spiders, constantly moving on the floor, their ferocious heads facing Ron, and hissing sounds coming from their mouths.
Ron saw the spider he was most afraid of, especially the string of black holes-like eyes on its head, staring straight at him while opening its mouth continuously, as if it wanted to bite him.
Ron's heart suddenly skipped a beat, his mouth went dry, and his heart was beating loudly, as if it was about to jump out.
"Funny!"
Looking at the spider that looked like it was crawling up on its own, Ron waved his wand vigorously and cast a funny spell.
In an instant, various roller skates appeared on the feet of this giant spider. It could not walk and kept rolling.
The ferocious head was also covered by a huge red cap, and the entire spider was dizzy.
Seeing this, the little wizards behind laughed out loud.
Lockhart's voice also came from a distance: "Congratulations to Ron for facing his fears."
"Next, Hermione."
Lockhart was somewhat curious about Hermione's greatest fear.
However, what Lockhart never expected was that the Boggart would turn into himself.
And the avatar himself told Hermione with a serious face: "Hermione, you are too stupid. You failed this exam. You are not suitable to be my student, and you should not stay at Hogwarts."
Lockhart was speechless.
In the eyes of Hermione, is he so harsh?
In order to prevent his appearance from becoming ridiculous, he directly waved his hand and asked the Boggart to return to the cabinet.
Hermione walked to the side awkwardly, her face full of embarrassment and a hint of worry.
She really likes magic and Hogwarts, and what she fears most is naturally leaving Hogwarts and losing her magic ability.
Next, Lockhart saw a vampire turned into a cute bird, a ferocious tiger turned into a cute kitten and Professor Snape dressed as a woman.
Here, Lockhart said that this was purely Neville's own change, and he had no intentional guidance at all.
He has photos to prove it, haha!
Among the subsequent changes, what surprised him was Draco from Slytherin House.
What Draco was most afraid of at the moment was that Harry Potter had defeated him again.
Well, it looks like Draco's relationship with Harry is going to be interesting.
As time passed, the event ended quietly under the funny spell of the last little wizard.
"In today's event, everyone performed very bravely." Lockhart looked at the young wizards standing in front of him and encouraged: "You have all faced your fears."
"And some people do better and are able to live with fear."
"I believe that in the future you will be a brave wizard who can face powerful enemies without flinching."
"Now, according to the previous rules, I will rank everyone based on how long they lasted."
"The number one ranking is Eloise, who will receive the magic necklace I refined."
"The second ranked one is Harry Potter. You can come to me to learn an original spell."
"Ranked third."
"."
Amid the cheers of the little wizards and the sound of Lockhart's reward, the course slowly came to an end.
Hogwarts, Headmaster's Office.
Dumbledore sat in his chair and looked at the information on the table with a headache.
The Boggart brought by Professor Lockhart actually caused Quirrell and Voldemort to reappear, and also leaked information about the Philosopher's Stone.
But it's obvious, and Lockhart can't be blamed, as the whole course has a very good purpose.
The little wizards are taught to face their fears, and the Boggart they choose is the most suitable magical creature - it has no attack power and is very safe.
From this point of view alone, Lockhart's teaching level is very good.
but
Harry's mentality seemed to have changed. Lockhart didn't know what he would think after learning about Tom's existence.
Many changing factors made him quite troubled.
Hey, as I get older, my brain is a little less powerful. It’s better to be young.
While Dumbledore was thinking.
suddenly
Click! Click! Click!
There was a sound of a blob of stone opening the door in the distance. With a little awareness, he knew that the person coming was Gilderoy Lockhart.
"Lockhart, what would you like to drink? Do you want honey?"
Dumbledore touched his beard and spoke gently to Lockhart in front of him.
"Principal, no need for the moment."
"Today, I still want to talk to you about Quirrell." Lockhart said with some seriousness and worry: "I heard from Harry that he is related to the Sorcerer's Stone, and it seems to be related to the mysterious man."
"Can you tell me a little bit?"
"After all, the mysterious man is related to the stability of the entire wizarding world. If he is not completely dead, we must be prepared in advance."
"There is also a magic stone, which must be protected. The mysterious person must not find a chance to resurrect."
Seeing Lockhart's rather worried attitude, Dumbledore sighed inwardly, knowing that Lockhart would probably not give up until he said something.
Moreover, let Lockhart distract some energy and not focus too much on the promotion of the magic system and the pure-blood family.
It's also a good strategy.
After thinking for a while, he said: "Lockhart, don't worry, the mysterious man is dead now, but the possibility of resurrection cannot be ruled out."
"There is someone who needs help later, and I need to trouble you."
Lockhart nodded when he heard this, indicating that there was no problem.
Seeing this, Dumbledore continued: "As for the Sorcerer's Stone, don't worry."
"My old friend Nico Flamel is planning to destroy the Philosopher's Stone recently. It will be absolutely impossible for the mysterious man to get it by then."
"Headmaster, are you telling the truth?" Lockhart had an incredible expression on his face: "Master Nico Flamel really wants to destroy the Sorcerer's Stone, which is the most precious treasure in the wizarding world."
"It is the highest achievement of alchemy."
"Just because the mysterious man wanted to get it, he destroyed it."
"Is it a case of petty loss?"
Lockhart had a look of extreme regret on his face. As an alchemist, he expressed his regret at hearing that the treasure that symbolized the highest achievement of alchemy was about to be destroyed.
There is quite a feeling of hating iron but not steel.
"Headmaster, didn't you say you were a good friend of Nico Flamel before?" Lockhart said sadly: "Please persuade him, you are also an alchemist. If the Sorcerer's Stone is really destroyed, it will destroy the entire wizarding world." Loss."
"If you are really worried, even if you seal it, it will be like destroying it."
Seeing Lockhart's expression, Dumbledore was a little stunned, as if he didn't expect Roxas to react so strongly.
But it suddenly dawned on him that as Lockhart was an alchemist, it was normal to have such emotions.
Even when he heard the news, he felt a little incredible.
But after hearing the reasons given by my old friend, I had no choice but to accept it.
"Lockhart, this is Nico's choice, we can only choose to accept it." Fudu comforted him.
After Lockhart heard this, he fell silent and said as if struggling: "Headmaster, can you give me the contact information of Master Nico Flamel?"
"I'd like to have a chat with him if I can."
Hearing Lockhart's request, Dumbledore hesitated. After thinking about it, he nodded slightly and said, "I want to talk to Nico about this. If possible, I will give you his contact information."
Hearing this, Lockhart nodded, and then as if he thought of something, he waved his wand, and a thin notebook floated out from the space extension belt on his waist, and then flew to Dumbledore.
Lockhart said: "Headmaster, these are some of my research results. Please pass them on to Master Nico Flamel for me."
"I am very much looking forward to chatting with him about ancient runes. I have many questions that I would like to ask Master Nico Flamel."
"Okay, Lockhart." Dumbledore nodded slightly, indicating that there was no problem.
The two chatted for a while before Lockhart took his leave.
After Lockhart left the Headmaster's office, a smile flashed across his face, but then he returned to calm.
This time, the Borg was used to elicit information about Quirrell and Voldemort.
On the one hand, it was to pave the way for his involvement in Voldemort's affairs later.
On the other hand, this is for Nico Flamel.
He didn't pay too much attention to the magic stone, because it had a similar function to the dragon bone and was safer.
Of course, it would be best if you can get it naturally.
The most important goal is to establish contact with Nico Flamel, and finally use his experience to achieve the fusion of ancient runes and runes.
Well, this is an old monster in the alchemy field of the wizarding world. It would be a pity to die.
So, and his desire to live is important.
How to do it?
Lockhart had an idea in his mind.
