Chapter 300 The plagiarist Lockhart and Rango Marcos who recovered his memory

Early morning, Durmstrang.

Lockhart was in front of his desk, looking through the glass at the side to the ice and snow in the distance.

It must be said that the weather environment in Durmstrang is really challenging for wizards.

It is said that only in summer can the little wizard fly on his magic broomstick.

As for Hogwarts, except for rain, snow and other weather factors, you can ride freely all year round.

Well, the little wizards in first and second grade have to be looked after by teachers.

However, the young wizard Durmstrang's physique is generally better than that of most Hogwarts students.

At yesterday's banquet, he also observed some young wizards.

Perhaps because of the icy and snowy environment, Durmstrang also pays more attention to physical exercise.

Just like those in Siberia, those who can survive in the ice and snow are generally not weak.

The weak ones have long been at peace.

While thinking, Lockhart wrote a letter and signed it to Dumbledore.

He knew that Dumbledore felt it was inappropriate for him to come to Durmstrang, but he did not dissuade him.

Therefore, he needed to write a letter to comfort Dumbledore.

Otherwise, it would be bad if you really regard yourself as the person who made the mess.

After finishing writing, Lockhart took the letter and walked out of the house.

On the one hand, I want to leave the letter to the owl here, and on the other hand, I also want to take a look at the library on the way.

He was also interested in the library at Durmstrang School.

He had visited the Hogworth library so many times that he knew it by heart.

I hope Durmstrang can bring him something different.

As for his lecture today, it was scheduled for the afternoon, when all wizards, including some professors, would come.

After his brief lecture last night, many professors became very interested in the possibility of runes breaking through the constraints of magic blood.

Their magic has reached a bottleneck early. If they find a new way to break through, even if it is just a possibility, they will naturally not give up.

After all, learning knowledge doesn’t come at a huge cost. Why not listen to it?

It might have been early in the morning, but Lockhart didn't see too many little wizards after he walked out of his lounge.

After a brief glance, he walked towards the stairs.

Yesterday he asked Professor Terra, and the place where he sent the letter was not far from here.

There is someone on the first floor who is in charge.

As Lockhart was walking towards the stairs, suddenly

Phew!

Accompanied by a crisp eagle cry, an eagle flew from the stairs. As if it noticed him, it landed in front of a nearby window and watched him warily.

This made Lockhart a little surprised, because in his impression, eagles seemed to be resident birds.

As winter approaches, he will take the initiative to fly to warmer places.

At this moment, Durmstrang was surrounded by ice and snow, which made him feel a little surprised.

However, after slightly sensing a certain amount of magic power in the opponent's body, he didn't care.

Magical creatures always have something special about them.

Maybe this is a pet raised by a certain professor. He also has two pets, although one of them is only cute.

Passing by the eagle, looking at the wary eagle, Lockhart reached out and took out some of Gu Gu's previous rations from the space extension bag, and dropped it in front of the eagle.

Gu! Gu!

After seeing the food in front of him, the eagle was not afraid of food, as if he knew that the person in front of him meant no harm to him. He tasted a few bites skillfully, raised his head, and gave a gentle cry to Lockhart.

As if to say, the food is good.

However, Lockhart looked into the eagle's bright eyes and suddenly felt an inexplicable familiarity, but after thinking about it, there was no result.

So he simply touched the eagle's head and walked to the place where the letter was mailed.

Durmstrang, Library.

Lockhart stood in the library, surrounded by a large number of magical books on the shelves.

A trace of regret flashed in his eyes.

I don’t know if Durmstrang’s management is more strict, but there are more books here.

But most of them are relatively basic and suitable for wizards in grades one to seven, and only a few have higher value magic books.

It's not like Hogwarts at all, which has a special restricted book area, which contains a lot of precious magic knowledge, and can be borrowed by professors at will.

Well, the quality has definitely gone down.

Then Lockhart slowly wandered around to see if there were any books worth reading.

With the powerful mental power of soul transformation, he can quickly search and compare in his mind.

As time slowly passed, Lockhart also had three more books in his hand.

These three books were something he had never seen before in Hogwarts and were worth reading.

And he has only walked through two bookshelves now, and the number of bookshelves in the entire library has reached at least twenty.

When Lockhart reached the third bookshelf, suddenly...

Lockhart walked in unison, looking at a book placed in a relatively conspicuous position at the beginning of the third bookshelf.

The name of the book is "A Brief Talk on the Development of the Wizarding World"

Seeing the title, Lockhart thought thoughtfully, took out the book and looked at the cover.

The cover of the book is dark blue, engraved with a large number of patterns, and has a bronze book frame on the edge. It is a thick book.

At first glance, this book makes a good impression.

What struck Lockhart strangely, however, was that the book did not bear the author's name.

This aroused Lockhart's curiosity. You must know that no author would allow a book written by himself to not have his own name.

Who did this author offend?

With a hint of curiosity in his heart, Lockhart opened the book.

"In the wizarding world, before AD, there was a glorious era. It was a prosperous age of magic. Powerful wizards and amazing spells were constantly being produced."

"."

"However, in the wizarding world, there is very little history about BC, only a few words. We have to think deeply about whether something happened in BC."

"."

"Why was a glorious age of magic buried quietly? Where have those powerful wizards gone? Are they all dead?"

"."

"As time goes by, well-known wizards and famous magical works appear less and less frequently. It seems to be related to the environment. I personally guess that the magic environment is gradually declining."

"."

"We need to save ourselves, we need to unite the power of all wizards."

"."

"I have a surprising guess. I don't know if it is correct. The root cause of the decline in magic power seems to be related to Muggles."

"."

The content of the book gave Lockhart a great shock, or he felt the same way.

He had made some speculations before by compiling the list of books in the Hogwarts library in the past thousand years.

Rather, most of the content in this book is very consistent with his guesses. It is written very in-depth, and he found many cases. It seems that he has done similar research specifically.

Therefore, Lockhart became more and more fascinated as he read. Standing by the bookshelf, he seemed to want to read the entire book at once.

Genius, the person who wrote this book is definitely a genius.

His research on history and capture of details are extraordinary.

While Lockhart was absorbed in reading

Not far away, a Sniff was lying on the ground, holding a small, shiny crystal ball in his hands, watching Lockhart while playing with the crystal ball.

at the same time.

Far away in the study of the ancient castle in Nurmengard, Grindelwald was sitting at his desk, reclining on a chair, feeling somewhat comfortable.

Opposite him, a cluster of blue flames floated in the air.

Among the blue flames, it was exactly what the Sniff saw.

It seemed that through the picture, one could see how absorbed Lockhart was in reading, and an inexplicable smile appeared on Grindelwald's face.

People who are greedy for knowledge generally find it difficult to refuse the temptation of knowledge, and they are also easily influenced by knowledge.

Lockhart's lounge.

At the desk, Lockhart carefully flipped through the thick blue magic book in front of him - "A Brief Discussion on the Development of the Wizarding World".

call!

After an unknown amount of time, Lockhart put down the book in his hand and took a breath, his eyes revealing his thoughts.

He now wants to know more and more, who wrote this book?

The author's research on the history and society of the wizarding world is vividly demonstrated in this book.

What makes him feel regretful is that this book does not contain any relevant information about the author from beginning to end.

It is not even clear when this book was published.

I really hope that the other party can meet and talk about the development of the wizarding world.

With the other party's insight far beyond that of ordinary wizards, he can definitely make good suggestions.

While thinking, Lockhart put the book aside.

Look at the next burgundy magic book "A Study of the Backlash of Black Magic"

While you still have free time, read more and recharge your batteries.

Diagon Alley, Daily Prophet offices.

A large number of owls flew into the distance with newspapers in their beaks.

They come here every day to deliver the day's newspapers to the wizards who subscribe to the Daily Prophet.

Not far away, two figures were holding a copy of the Daily Prophet in their hands, looking at the flying owls with smiles on their faces.

"Lord Malfoy, the newspapers have been sent out. I believe that after today, Lockhart will soon be a plagiarist in the eyes of everyone." Rita Skeeter complimented.

Hearing Rita's voice, Lucius Malfoy opened the newspaper and looked at the title and content of the newspaper with admiration.

"Lockhart the Plagiarist and Rango Marcos Recovering His Memory"

"The Autobiography of Rango Marcos, the Founder of True Meditation"

"."

Lucius looked at a series of eye-catching titles, and the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously.

After a moment, he praised Rita Skeeter next to him: "Thanks to Ms. Skeeter's writing style, you are indeed a top author."

Then, his tone changed and he said playfully: "Rita, keep working hard and let the entire wizarding world know what unscrupulous things Lockhart, the real dark wizard, has done."

Hearing this, Rita nodded repeatedly and said: "Don't worry, I said everything is as planned, sir. I have already written the manuscript for tomorrow. Then you can see what is wrong and we can make changes."

"We at the Daily Prophet must expose the true face of Lockhart, the dark wizard."

Hearing this, Lucius had a smile on his face.

But then, Rita Skeeter asked worriedly: "Sir, there will be no problem with this Rango Marcos."

Hearing this, Lucius waved his hand gently and said nonchalantly: "Don't worry, even if I use Veritaserum and absorb spiritual thoughts now, I won't be able to detect anything."

"In the entire wizarding world, no one believes in his identity as the founder of Meditation more than he does."

Hearing this, Rita seemed to feel relieved, and then, as if she thought of something, she asked again: "Sir, even so, if Lockhart and Lango confront each other, am I worried that there will be any problems?"

In this regard, Lucius said nonchalantly: "What confrontation?"

"We made it known to all wizards that Lockhart had discovered that his deeds had been exposed and had absconded."
