Eight hundred and fifty-seventh chapter momentum and idol plan
Gilderoy Lockhart had no shortage of talent.
In fact, as early as when Lockhart entered Hogwarts and started studying, many professors believed that Gilderoy Lockhart did have considerable potential hidden in him, and he was indeed better than most students of the same period.
All must be smart.
Lockhart's greatest flaw is that he is unwilling to try unless he is the best.
In the original world line, the arrogance of "either do the best or not do anything" deeply affected him, which made Lockhart increasingly dissatisfied with his relatively 'mediocre' self. Those things he was destined to be unable to reach the top of.
Lockhart discarded his shortcomings without hesitation.
So, by the time he returned to school to teach, Lockhart's once good magical abilities had become extremely rusty due to not being used for many years. The only magic he could still use was the Oblivion Curse, which was so powerful that it was almost unsolvable, and at the same time, he was in a state of magic.
The magic of loopholes in the world's laws has become perfect through his development and frequent use.
Of course, on the other hand, Lockhart also discovered another top talent of his that no one could match: creation.
When setting up a newspaper in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Elena, and even so many time-travelers in the parallel world, were not the first little wizards to think of it and implement it. As early as decades ago, Ji
Dro Lockhart founded the first newspaper in the history of Hogwarts in school. Unfortunately, it quickly disappeared due to lack of capital.
"Yes, I am a liar... Most adults will start to learn to lie in order to survive."
Gilderoy Lockhart said in a calm voice, as if he was telling a folk story that had nothing to do with him.
"This is just like the black-hearted businessmen wandering in Knockturn Alley who will make up a vague legend about dragon claw powder in order to earn gold galleons, but in fact what they sell to passing wizards is foxy shit. And for me,
If you want your book to sell well, you will use promotional packaging when selling it, such as how you cleverly caught the last ghoul with a tea strainer."
Amidst the uneasy whispers of the students, Lockhart had a self-deprecating smile on his face and shook his head.
"In fact, as long as you provide it with some spiders, moths, and a not-too-crowded attic or barn, this ugly, slimy creature can even become a pet in many wizarding families."
Lockhart's eyes lingered on the students' upturned faces for a moment, and he chuckled disdainfully and said meaningfully.
"What a pity? Judging from the current situation, not many wizards still remember those dry descriptions in "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" after graduation, even if they are such lies full of errors? The question people ask the most is just?
Why not use the wand to subdue it instead of fighting it..."
"From that time on, I realized how powerful the power of words and lies is in this world."
"Blending the lines between story and reality? That's the stupidest thing...get it?"
Ridiculous, ugly? At the same time, it looks like a strange smile that is a little scary.
At the beginning, Gilderoy Lockhart was not too deeply involved in "stealing memories."
However, when he discovered that the readers in the magical world were stupider and lazier than he thought, the vanity rooted deep in his heart quickly grew up. And correspondingly, there was also the feeling of being superior to
Superior to all.
Most wizards do not have the ability to discern the truth? They are not much smarter than Muggles who accidentally enter a magical area.
Compared with fabricating stories out of thin air, the risk of directly plagiarizing other people's real experiences is lower. With a little exaggeration and embellishment of those real adventures, Lockhart can easily gain the attention and discussion he once dreamed of.
But now Lockhart no longer cares about those frothy vanities and flashlights.
Of course, part of the reason is because he volunteered to join the "Destiny Group" and the "Special Containment Procedures Foundation."
Most of the members of these two organizations are elites from all walks of life. They can be said to be the epitome of today's magic world, and the tasks and events they are involved in are far from the grandeur that ordinary wizards can imagine.
.
What's more, compared to being praised in the spotlight? Lockhart felt respect based on strength for the first time.
Especially in the field organization known as the "Night Watch Who Walks in the Dark", Lockhart is not just a powerful combat wizard. As one of the general leaders of "WIB", he is more
The purpose is to formulate elimination and capture plans, as well as deal with the memories of a small number of extremely important targets, such as those similar to the original Peter Pettigrew.
Different from those false lies that were like floating clouds in the sky, those dark histories that should have been abandoned long ago.
If we use the words of Elena Kaslana, the supreme Fairy Queen of Gringotts, the world's cutest... (some are omitted below)... to describe it, what they are doing now should be called rewriting the world's past, and now
and the future.
"...I said, Miss Kaslana."
"What's wrong?"
"You actually knew these things about Professor Lockhart a long time ago, right?"
"I know a little bit, only the external name, but the opening method is not the same as I imagined. Well, dear Granger, I admit that you are right, Mr. Lockhart is indeed very respectable...
…I was wrong."
Elena sighed and wisely chose to admit defeat before Hermione could launch her second wave of offensive.
If she had known that Gilderoy Lockhart had such a high level of ideological consciousness, she should not have discouraged the little girl from chasing stars in this regard.
Although the image and connotation of this young grammar professor are indeed much more upright and stable than before (considering the daily work of WIB, the word "obeying the law" may not be appropriate), but it does not mean that
Elena has complete trust in this young wizard who seems to have great potential as "Aquaman".
Gilderoy Lockhart's desperate words now sound a bit like a prodigal son turning back.
but……
"In this case, this guy's personality charm will be even more dazzling!"
Elena sighed again.
For those young witches at Hogwarts who are in their youthful ignorance, a handsome, rich, and story-telling young professor like Gilderoy Lockhart, who has had a dark past but has come to regret it,
It was like a male protagonist who only appeared in a movie, hitting their XP with incomparable accuracy.
"..."
Elena recalled her "Ravenclaw Idol Project" that she had not yet had time to perfect.
In the end, it was put on hold for the time being.
It's actually not difficult to push hard. Even though Gilderoy Lockhart has graduated from Hogwarts many years ago, if we really count his age, he is still the youngest person in Hogwarts today.
professor.
Even the youngest Potions Master ever, Severus Snape, was four years older than Lockhart at this time.
Now think about it carefully, this professor who has just turned twenty-eight is really dangerous.
Elena thought silently in her heart, if Gilderoy Lockhart planned to solve the single problem in school, or even open a Crystal Palace, there probably wouldn't be many little witches who could withstand the young professor's offensive.
After all, students at Hogwarts can stay in school for up to seven years, which can be said to be a Neptune-like paradise.
If the timing is right, he can even completely rotate the test papers every few years if the Hogwarts test papers are the same, and also ensure that the beginning and end will not appear at the same time, and some worrying Shura fields will appear.
Condition.
Perhaps Lockhart will not take action, but once the idol project is launched, it is inevitable that some stupid little witch will take the initiative to throw himself into his arms.
By that time, things may turn from a campus fairy tale into some terrible 18R game.
And before she took action to clean up Gilderoy Lockhart, Albus Dumbledore might have fought back with his vows and completely eliminated Elena, the innocent celebrity agent, from Hogwarts.
Elena is just afraid of this, she doesn't want Hogwarts to change its color.
"...What should we do?"
Elena Bai, who was caught in random thoughts, suddenly realized a problem.
Although she has invisibly changed or saved the lives of some "bad guys", she actually doesn't know their true personalities that well. Regarding their placement after they become good, she is not just a tool.
"Well, I have a bit of a headache."
Elena frowned and rubbed her temples in distress.
If I had known that there would be so many chain reactions, I should have been cautious in expanding the enrollment in Hogwarts.
Having said that, it seems that Lockhart is not the only young professor who appears in the school next?
In the past ten years, Hogwarts has not been without wonderful wizards.
Compared with war, fighting heroes are more likely to emerge in the mixed era. The talents of young wizards who grow up in peacetime are more reflected in academic expertise. Quirina, who is six grades younger than Lockhart,
S. Quirrell is undoubtedly one of the top stars of hope at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the past ten years.
Moreover, unlike Gilderoy Lockhart, who has a poor reputation among professors and peers.
Quirinus Quirrell, who was also born in Ravenclaw College, has almost nothing to criticize in terms of his academic performance during his school years or his teaching ability during his teaching years. This is almost unanimously recognized by all the professors.
.
You must know that when school first started last year, the grade Quirrell was in charge of was the grade that finally won the first place.
Even if there are many off-site reasons, such as the unexpected withdrawal of the first and seventh grade... But it also proves that Quirinus Quirrell's teaching ability has not actually been affected by Voldemort's possession.
Too much impact.
Apart from the deliberately disguised stuttering, Quirrell is much stronger than Lockhart in terms of overall strength and magical knowledge.
"...Professor Quirrell, who has returned to school, will not become the next Lockhart, right?"
Elena thought carefully and thoughtfully.
If she remembered correctly, Quirinus Quirrell was also a very likeable Ravenclaw genius, confident, cheerful, and with an insight into people's hearts before he embarked on the outing that changed his life.
wisdom.
Now that he has returned to Hogwarts after experiencing some setbacks, maybe he will be more popular than Lockhart?
After all, according to the information received by most young wizards, professors, and even senior officials of the Ministry of Magic, the reason why Quirinus Quirrell was seriously injured and hospitalized was mainly because on Halloween, in order to protect the unicorn and a certain
A reckless student had to fight with an unknown dark wizard. In the end, he was seriously injured and had to temporarily recuperate for a period of time.
Of course, after the public trial of Peter Pettigrew later, everyone vaguely guessed the identity of the dark wizard.
If nothing else, Quirrell should have just met Peter Pettigrew, the "most dangerous Death Eater in history" who was wandering in the Forbidden Forest and trying to kill unicorns. This is not a complicated and difficult thing to speculate.
.
It is a pity that young Quirrell was no match for Peter Pettigrew after all, otherwise there would not have been such a shocking scam.
"Hogwarts can't have just one idol..."
Elena held her chin and looked thoughtfully at the sparkling lake outside the window.
If all the momentum and resources are concentrated on one person, it will be too easy for personality worship to occur, and even an uncontrollable fanatical group effect will occur. However, if we create a few more different types of campus idols, let the girls start fighting with each other...
Thinking about it this way, it seems that the loopholes in the previous campus idol plan can be slightly filled?
Ravenclaw bitches, you would never have guessed that these two stars were signed by the same agency, right?!
At that time, we can even hold a few annual votes from time to time, recruit a few accompanying professors as candidates, and then encourage students to complete learning tasks, daily tasks, and even some conduct evaluations, and finally obtain "true love points" for themselves
When a professor you like cheers you up, it’s best to let the two professors have some minor friction.
In the face of real benefits, neither Dumbledore nor the Ministry of Magic would have too many objections, right?
If this form is ultimately effective, she can even consider turning it into a continuous activity, and expanding the scope from Hogwarts to the entire British wizarding world... Anyway, as the Queen of Gringotts Wizarding Bank, she is most indispensable.
Money.
At that time, hey hey hey...
"Elena, Elena! The professor just asked you to answer a question!"
Hearing Hermione's somewhat dissatisfied voice, Elena said "Huh?" and returned to the classroom from her fantasy.
"..."
Gilderoy Lockhart silently glanced at the distracted eldest lady.
It seemed that the young grammar professor was a little overwhelmed and disappointed that the "leader" did not listen carefully to his report. Especially when this situation was presented in front of dozens of students, he felt a little embarrassed.
This is different from the previous course discussions. If you are so distracted in class, you will almost certainly be deducted points.
But... if the points were deducted, he was worried that he would be gone tomorrow.
"Sorry, Professor Lockhart, I went to bed late last night, so I was a little distracted..."
Elena looked at Lockhart who was in a bit of a dilemma, and before the wizard could speak, she took the initiative to bow and said sheepishly.
"After class, I will definitely find a copy of Hermione's notes and hand them over to you before the next class. Do you think this is okay? I will try to finish it on the weekends. If you are free, hand it in in advance.
