Chapter 554 The Story of Gilderoy Lockhart (2)

"Finally left."

Lockhart looked at Albert's leaving figure and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

This genius wizard who is said to be one who may surpass Dumbledore in the future is truly worthy of his reputation.

Ever since Lockhart came to work at Hogwarts, he instinctively wanted to stay away from this talented wizard, but unfortunately he has never been able to do so.

The other party would always ask him very appropriate questions. If Lockhart hadn't been well prepared when he wrote the book, the flaws might have been exposed.

If you can’t explain clearly the things you have done, the adventures you have experienced, and the spells you have used, who would believe you?

Unfortunately, Lockhart knew very well that he was a liar, so he hated dealing with geniuses like Albert Anderson.

God knows what problems the other party will find to embarrass Lockhart one day.

Moreover, he is very likely...not very likely, but Albert is definitely doubting himself.

Although Lockhart did not have any evidence, he had an intuition that Mr. Anderson probably knew something and had begun to doubt himself.

Lockhart couldn't help but wonder if accepting Dumbledore's invitation to work at Hogwarts was the right choice.

Although his book was sold in large quantities as a result, and he gained a wave of attention and fame, Lockhart always felt that his approach was a bit inappropriate, or...well, it should be said that Lockhart began to regret it.

He wants to resign now!

Lockhart was already aware of the poor reputation of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor from the beginning. After all, after spending seven years at Hogwarts, anyone who was not an idiot would know this.

Although Dumbledore assured him that he could avoid the harm caused by the curse as long as he resigned early, Lockhart encountered some worse things when he first came to school.

Originally, the purpose of coming to Hogwarts was to use Harry Potter's reputation for defeating Voldemort to improve his own reputation.

Lockhart wanted Harry Potter to become his favorite pupil, which was the main purpose of his coming to Hogwarts.

When he met Harry at Flourish and Blotts Bookstore, Lockhart even gave him a complete set of his books, hoping to gain some favor from Harry.

You must know that the complete set of books will cost a large sum of galleons. However, the savior still does not have much favorable impression of him.

Later, Potter and his friends drove a flying Ford to school. In his opinion, it was just for show, so Lockhart exempted Harry from confinement, asked him to help him answer letters from admirers, and borrowed money from Harry.

Machine teaches Harry some things about fame and fortune.

However, the plan did not go smoothly. Even Lockhart could feel that Harry Potter was trying his best to avoid him, which was not in line with his original plan.

Therefore, Lockhart changed his plan again. He obtained a lot of Quidditch tactics and planned to give Harry a small start and teach him how to play Quidditch.

Unfortunately, Harry Potter refused again.

However, contrary to Harry Potter, another genius at Hogwarts had a good relationship with him, or he took the initiative to approach him, but Lockhart had no intention of using Albert to improve his reputation.

.

He felt that if he got too close to Albert, the other party would probably discover his secret.

Albert gave Lockhart a very bad feeling, especially his eyes, which sometimes gave him the illusion of being seen through, just like when Albert was chatting with him about "Wandering with Werewolves" using

When he cast the humanoid restoration spell, he could feel that there was no admiration in Albert's eyes, but more curiosity and expectation for this spell.

That genius is very interested in the humanoid restoration spell!

If it were in the past, teaching the other party the humanoid restoration spell would undoubtedly be an opportunity to build a closer relationship between the two parties. Unfortunately, Lockhart would never use this spell at all.

When he heard Albert asking him, he almost couldn't answer. In the end, he could only send Albert away because he needed to take some time to sort out the professor's ideas, but the genius seemed to have been there for a long time.

She saw through his thoughts and said that she would come to visit another day.

Compared to silly boys like Harry Potter, people like Albert Anderson were so terrifying that even Lockhart wanted to know why he was trying to embarrass himself like this.

Sure enough, Harry Potter is easier to get along with!

Although he didn't want to pay attention to Albert, Lockhart's meaningful smile when he left made Lockhart feel very bad. He had to go back to his previous residence to find some useful things.

"Wandering with Werewolves" still left a deep memory in Lockhart.

There was no way, the old Armenian wizard was old and ugly, and the clothes he wore were tasteless. He also liked to put his photo on the cover, which made him complain a lot.

At the beginning, Lockhart spent a lot of time investigating this matter, and also visited the village that suffered from werewolves, and cast a forgetting spell on the villagers living there, so that the villagers and the old Armenian wizard could completely forget it.

I completely forgot about this incident.

Lockhart naturally knew something about the Restoration Curse. After all, it was the core spell in "Wandering with Werewolves". He had spent a lot of time to learn about the Restoration Curse from the old wizard.

The humanoid restoration spell was a spell invented by the other party himself, but the other party did not seem to realize the significance of this spell. Lockhart once thought of relying on this spell to become famous. After all, a spell that can temporarily transform a werewolf into a human form is of great significance.

So when Lockhart left, he not only erased the other party's memory, but also stole the records and research on the humanoid restoration spell.

If he could learn and publish this spell, Lockhart knew exactly what kind of reputation he could gain. Unfortunately, the Restoration Charm was an extremely complex and difficult spell to cast. He ultimately failed to learn this spell as he wished.

.

Lockhart was actually very hesitant about whether to hand over the notebook to Albert, or whether they could cooperate and use Albert to improve his reputation.

What if Albert becomes his favorite disciple?

Lockhart quickly suppressed this idea. It was not a wise choice.

"Forget it, it's better for me to stay away from him." Lockhart opened his cabinet and began to rummage through the cabinets to find the notes he had hidden.

Half an hour later, Lockhart finally found the leather notebook in a box. There were some parchments scattered in it. Lockhart flipped through it carefully. There was indeed nothing else that he could not give to Albert.

After reading something, he took the book back to Hogwarts Castle.
