In Rove's view, Jihad Lockhart is actually not as useless as he showed in the original movie. This can be seen from his being assigned to Ravenclaw. He is actually
He is talented.
It's just that his intelligence and ability are only above average. Ravenclawy has many people who are more talented than him, and there are even more talented people who work hard.
This caused Lockhart, who was favored by his mother because of his magical talent and believed that he was born to be the protagonist, to instantly fall from the heaven surrounded by a halo into the hell where no one else is.
The emergence of this gap was a huge blow to Lockhart. He may have tried hard, but in the end he had to admit that he was not the protagonist he imagined, nor did he have the perseverance to become a genius who works hard. p>
Therefore, he chose to use his cleverness to take shortcuts and gave up on improving his magic level through hard work and study. Instead, he began to delve into other avenues.
He first persuaded the then principal to start the school newspaper, and then used his status as the founder of the school newspaper to repeatedly expose his name and image for personal gain.
Although this kind of behavior did not make him the focus of attention as imagined, it did make everyone remember his name and know that there is such a person as Gilderoy Lockhart.
Because the wizarding world is so small, even the small fame he gained as a student paved the way for Lockhart's future achievements. He first became a slightly famous writer, and then used this status to go to
Interviews with wizards from around the world who have truly made something of themselves.
He used the affinity shown by his powerful acting talent and his identity as a writer to let those wizards put down their guard, and then took the opportunity to use the only forgetting spell he was proficient in to sneak attack on them, then blame their deeds on his own head, and then write and publish it in a book
.
These deeds spread widely as his books, which not only won him fame and fortune, but also attracted the attention of Dumbledore. As luck would have it, Dumbledore happened to know two victims of Lockhart's Oblivion Curse.
.
But he did not expose Lockhart, but used this to force him to voluntarily come to Hogwarts to serve as the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. Of course, just being caught does not make Lockhart submit, and there are
The ingredients of inducement.
For a man like Lockhart who pursues fame and wealth to the extreme, what could be more exciting than becoming the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor of Harry Potter, the savior?
In this way, under the guidance of the White Devil, Lockhart reluctantly became the hot potato of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts.
It was not that he had not considered the possibility that he might join the gang, but the long-term smoothness and the huge success before him still blinded his eyes. It made him feel that he was just teaching a group of brats who had not graduated, and he was still qualified.<
/p>
It is this commonly known mentality of feeling good about oneself and doing whatever I want that ultimately ruins everything he has worked so hard to create, at least in the original work.
After Ron's wand backfired and caused the Oblivion Curse to hit him, Lockhart's reputation was ruined and he even forgot who he was. This can be regarded as the consequences of his evil deeds.
And now, because there is no murderer who attacks Muggle-born students, there is no longer a scene where Harry and Ron force Lockhart to go to the secret room to save people, and there is no longer an accident of amnesia due to wand backfire.
.
This means that Lockhart should have been able to retire this school year. The reason why he should have been is because the curse placed on the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor by Voldemort still took effect.
Rolf never expected that Lockhart would actually hit his hand without death. The situation at that time was a bit complicated. Although Hermione admitted the fact that Lockhart was an idiot, she still had a crush on his book.
Highly recommended.
So she found Luo Fu with the book and tried to explain to him that the contents in the book were actually valuable. However, Luo Fu, based on his preconceived prejudices and his own excellent magical power, firmly stated that he would not accept anything from the plagiarist.
Not interested.
Then this sentence happened to be heard by Lockhart who happened to be passing by. Rolf also noticed Lockhart's arrival, but did not mean to give him any face. Instead, he turned around and gave him a meaningful smile. As for Lockhart's reaction, it was much more interesting. He said hello to Rolf and Hermione with a smile that was exposed and trying to hide the embarrassment, and then quickly turned around and left.
According to other students who met Lockhart at dinner, they saw Professor Gilderoy running into his office with a twisted look on his face, and then there were sounds of the door being locked and things being smashed.
But when the time came for the Defense Against the Dark Arts class the next day, Lockhart actually returned to his dazzling appearance. But now almost everyone knows that he is an armchair idiot and a simple and honest Hufflepuff.
And Ravenclaw, who has always been a clean-minded person, will naturally not embarrass him.
So this class was a fun one for the host and the guest. At least no one looked at Lockhart directly to embarrass Lockhart. Instead, they treated him as a clown and watched him perform on stage.
However, an incident occurred at the end of class, that is, Rolf was asked to stay by Lockhart's name. Although the other students felt a little strange, they didn't say much.
As for Luo Fu himself, it didn't matter. Although he didn't know what the famous plagiarist and master of the Forgetting Curse wanted to do with him, but now that he was a professor, he could only waste some time to accompany him. After leaving Rove by name, Lockhart asked the other party to help him bring the furniture back to the office, and said that he had something to say to Rove.
Rove, who had already guessed what the other party wanted to do, picked up the book and walked out of the classroom without saying a word. Lockhart followed closely behind him.
As soon as Rove stepped into Lockhart's office, there was the sound of the door locking behind him, and then Rove saw that Lockhart had taken out his wand and pointed it at him.
"I'm sincerely sorry, kid, I have to cast a forgetting spell on you. Although I know how much you know, I can't let you spread my secrets around anymore. Otherwise, I won't be able to sell my books.
Out..."
"Wow, I accept your apology, Professor. Come on, let's have a real wizard duel, just like you do most in the books, to defeat your enemies."
As he spoke, Rolf dropped the teaching aids and textbooks in his hands, held his wand with a thunderbird feather as the core, and casually blocked an oblivion spell from Lockhart.
"A sneak attack is not a good example, Professor. We haven't bowed to each other yet, I say~, bow!"
