“Gidro, go ahead, you will be the best student in Hogwarts history!”
Lockhart’s mother kissed him lightly on the head and waved goodbye.
Lockhart dragged his suitcase onto the steaming train, found a compartment, put his things in a chair.
After a few minutes, when the surrounding was full of people, the train moved slowly.
Are they ready for my ceremony?
Lockhart leaned on the car window, looked at the scenery passing by, slowly lowered his eyelids, and fell asleep.
After the train approached the station and entered a magical castle, Lockhart did not see a special welcome ceremony.
Only one wizard introduced him to the next procedure, and then let them walk to a hall, and in turn took a tattered sorting hat to decide which college they were going to.
“Gidro Lockhart!”
Lockhart took a step forward and passed the crowd. He felt everyone’s eyes focused on him.
The corners of Lockhart’s mouth raised, he liked the feeling.
“Oh, it’s a special kid again. It’s really hard to choose, he’s smart, and he has a desire to prove himself. Is it Lacvinlaw? Or Slytherin?”
After Lockhart put on his hat, he heard a whisper in his ear. This was the first time he heard the word special since he came to school.
Sure enough, what my mother said was right, and I was different from them!
Lockhart thought happily.
“Okay, okay, I thought about it, you still fit there, that’s…”
Lockhart heard the hat on his head yelling out a name: Lacvinlaw!
Taking off his hat, Lockhart saw that the students on the Lacvinlaw table were applauding for him, and a senior sister gave him a seat.
Lockhart accepted all this with peace of mind. He felt that this was what they should do, because he was about to become their hero and win the Academy Cup for them, just like his mother said.
But after a while, Lockhart found that everything in the school seemed different from what his mother said.
They don’t know their names, and no one discusses their magical powers.
Because they are all the same as themselves, and some are even stronger than themselves.
Lockhart couldn’t stand this situation. He began to study hard, raising his hands frequently to answer questions.
Gradually his name began to appear in the mouths of professors and some students, and he became a better student.
But Lockhart felt that this was not enough. He kept repeating a sentence in his heart: Either do the best or not.
He wanted to see the envy in the eyes of his sisters among the students around him.
But how can it be done?
He is a child born in a mixed-race family, he is not as knowledgeable as those children who have been exposed to magic since childhood.
The awards he can get, others can also get.
Lockhart meditated for a while, and then began his own actions.
He made a few steps plan for himself, the first stage of which is to let the teachers and students of the school know him.
Lockhart went to lobby the principal, he wanted to run a school newspaper for Hogwarts, introducing the big and small things about Hogwarts.
In fact, his main purpose is to allow his name and photo to be printed in an upright manner for everyone to know.
However, because of the too much space in the newspaper to introduce himself, few students are willing to read it.
Lockhart’s famous goal was not achieved, but this did not frustrate him in the slightest, after all, the school had already started discussing him.
On the eve of the Quidditch season, Lockhart had another plan.
He sneaked out of the castle and magically carved his own signature on the Quidditch court. Each letter was twenty feet long, guaranteed to be visible to the teachers and students sitting on the high platform.
Although Lockhart was picked up to work in school for a week after this, the cheers of the teachers and students that day were enough to satisfy him.
After tasting the sweetness, Lockhart went to an extreme. He found that as long as the scene was big enough, it was difficult for others to ignore him.
So in the afternoon, Lockhart imitated the Dark Mark in the open space in front of the castle and reflected his super-large, super-shiny head in the sky.
This caused everyone to cheer again in the boring afternoon, although Lockhart received another warning after that.
But can this stop him from accomplishing his small goal?
Of course not!
Every celebrity’s road to fame is hard.
I will do my best!
Lockhart told himself in his heart that he must stick to it.
When Valentine’s Day was approaching, Lockhart came up with a little idea to get attention.
He ordered 800 greeting cards in the shop outside the school in advance, and each greeting card was filled with words of love for himself.
At nine o’clock on Valentine’s Day, everyone was eating a delicious meal in the restaurant.
Suddenly, there was noisy flapping of wings and the chirping of owls from high in the sky. There were more owls than usual.
Many students are not yet aware of the seriousness of the problem, they curiously looked up at the empty space.
Countless owls flew into the auditorium crowded, accompanied by dense feathers and feces.
“Sorry, sorry, my fans are too enthusiastic.”
Lockhart stood up with his head full of dung and waved to everyone. Soon the ebony owls stopped by his side.
The students in the auditorium couldn’t stand the torment of feces and feathers, so they gave up their meals and quit the auditorium.
I have to say that Lockhart’s idea has made him completely famous. Although it is not a good reputation, everyone in the school knows about him, and the professors can’t punish him yet.
After all, you can’t stop people from sending letters, can’t you?
So the lover’s dung romance became a standard show at Hogwarts until Lockhart graduated.
After completing the first phase of the goal, Lockhart began the second phase of the plan: to obtain the admiration of others.
This is not an easy goal. Lockhart finally came up with one idea after a lot of thoughts: speak big words!
When others are willing to talk to him, he will constantly boast that he will create the Philosopher’s Stone before graduation, and after graduation he will go to the England Quidditch team, and will lead them to win the Quidditch as the captain of the team. The champion of the Ditch World Cup, and later he will become the Minister of Magic and other things that are difficult for ordinary people to do. I want to use this to arouse everyone’s admiration for him.
It’s a pity that Lockhart did not succeed, he has been stuck in the first stage.
Moreover, Lockhart’s various behaviors made the professors of Hogwarts extremely headache. When he graduated, many professors of the college all breathed a sigh of relief and wished to hold a banquet to celebrate.
After graduation, Lockhart soon discovered that the world seemed different from what he had imagined.
He couldn’t easily get the attention of others, and he didn’t have the talent of Quidditch. He applied for a job at the Ministry of Magic, and no one else wanted him.
In the end, Lockhart could only rely on the experience of founding a school newspaper at school, and found an editor job in a newspaper office, dancing with words all day long.
But this kind of life made him very miserable, because people only cared about the text he reported, no one paid attention to the author’s little name, and no one knew him.
Until an interview with a wizard, his thrilling story shocked Lockhart’s mind.
Lockhart suddenly thought: What would happen if the name in the story were replaced by him?
People are likely to refocus their attention on him!
This malicious thought continued to breed in Lockhart’s heart, and gradually enveloped his whole heart.
He was completely lost…
After Lockhart returned, he resigned from the newspaper office. He buried the wizard’s story in his heart and devoted himself to studying memory magic at home.
After he completely perfected the magic, Lockhart returned to that place and found the wizard again, perfectly clearing the memory of his strange experience in life.
After returning home, after Lockhart’s efforts for a period of time, “Break with the Female Ghost” was widely welcomed and received enthusiastic response as soon as it was published.
Lockhart became one of the most popular writers, and more and more people began to admire him and cheer for him.
Lockhart, who tasted the sweetness, began to look for unknown heroes all over the world and seized their stories for himself.
Soon he received a series of achievements: the Merlin Medal of the Third Class, an honorary member of the Anti-Dark Magic League, and five times won the “Witcher Weekly” Most Charming Smile Award.
Lockhart’s career began to reach its peak and entered a period of rapid development.
But behind all this are buried poor people who have lost their memories.
Lockhart woke up from the memory, with a bitter mouth hanging from the corners of his mouth: “Vanity and laziness are like two crazy demons. I had already lost myself when I set foot on the Hogwarts train.”
There was a sudden bang at the door.
Dumbledore said to the door: “Come in directly, Harry.”
“You have known about my cheating a long time ago?”
Lockhart turned his head to look at Dumbledore. After Dumbledore came in, he took his wand and released the curse on him.
“Yes, my two friends happened to do the same thing as the characters in your book, so I went to visit them.”
“Then why do you want…”
Lockhart stared at Dumbledore. He didn’t finish his words. He already understood Dumbledore’s intentions.
With his ability, as long as he is put in this school for a period of time, he will be fully exposed.
And the ultimate goal of all this is…
Lockhart turned to look at Harry who had just entered.
Harry was a little bewildered and stood close to the door. He was still practicing snake language in the dormitory, but suddenly a small plane flew in and asked him to come to Lockhart’s office.
Harry quietly lipped to David and asked him what happened.
“You invited me here for Harry, right?”
Lockhart’s eyes rolled.
“For one of the reasons, Professor Lockhart, would you like to tell Harry your story again?” Dumbledore asked.
Lockhart said with a smile: “Of course, it’s just…I have a small condition.”
“What?” Dumbledore asked.
“After I tell Harry my story, you…can you not notify the Ministry of Magic and let me leave safely?”
When Lockhart spoke, he looked anxious and mixed with desire. If he knew what he had committed was known by the Ministry of Magic, he would definitely be sent to Azkaban, which was not a personal place.
Dumbledore listened, looked at Lockhart, and said, “I think before sending you to Azkaban, you should return your story to those whose memories have been erased by you.”
Lockhart raised his head in surprise: “You agree? You have not notified the Ministry of Magic? Will you let me go?”
“No, no, it’s not about letting you go and letting you go to treat those who have been hurt by you. After all, it is difficult for others to find them except you.” Dumbledore said, “As for whether to send you and contemplate in the future Strange companionship, it depends on whether those who have been hurt by you can forgive you.”
There was joy in Lockhart’s heart. As long as he didn’t go to Azkaban, he could say anything, and as long as he got out of this school, he could escape from Dumbledore’s control. He made so much money and found a place to hide. You can spend the rest of your life in peace when you get up.
Lockhart bowed to Dumbledore and said sincerely: “Professor, you can rest assured, I will do my best to heal them.”
Dumbledore nodded, “Can you talk now?”
Lockhart asked, “Harry, would you like to hear my story?”
Harry nodded in confusion, he still didn’t understand what was going on.
Lockhart showed embarrassment on his face, after all, his past was not a commendable heroic story.
After Lockhart finished speaking, Harry stared at Dumbledore, then at David, the mass of information rushed him a little.
Professor Lockhart is a liar?
Dumbledore recruited the liar himself?
Lockhart patted Harry on the shoulder at the end and said, “Harry, it’s not a good thing to be famous too early. I hope you don’t let the evil flowers of vanity spread in your heart like me. This is me. As a professor, the last thing to teach you.”
“Do you have anything else I can help?”
Lockhart moved his gaze to Dumbledore, his tone ingratiating.
Dumbledore said, “Can you give me that diary?”
“Of course, that is not my thing.”
Lockhart walked to a cabinet in the corner of the room, fumbled for a while, and pulled out a small black wooden box.
“I wanted to put it here, UU reading www.uukanshu.com and I left, but the kid stopped it.”
Lockhart raised his eyebrows at David, his eyes rested on the box.
“This period of having it should be the happiest time since I graduated. It is the first time that I relied on my own efforts to get the recognition of so many people, but it is a pity that it seems to have bad intentions.”
Lockhart handed the box in his hand to Dumbledore, not sure if what he said was true.
After Dumbledore opened Harry to check, he smiled and looked at Harry: “Harry, can you go back for a while? We should return this room to Professor Lockhart.”
Harry nodded, took two steps in a daze, and turned to look at David.
Dumbledore waved to Harry: “I have something to do with David. He may come back later.”
