Starting Over at Hogwarts - Chapter 288
UPDATE: For Wesson, it wasn’t easy to smuggle this Horcrux notebook on Gilderoy Lockhart’s desk.
Of course.
Wesson chose the easiest way.
He was going to send a letter from a book friend to Professor Gerald Lockhart.
As a popular author in the magical world, Gilderoy Lockhart has been constantly receiving letters from book friends from all over the world. He is also a person who enjoys this kind of life very much, and will read every letter very seriously. I am also determined to reply to my book friends.
It’s so weird…
Gilderoy Lockhart has never received strange gifts, and his book friends have never sent him those strange things…
This is Gilderoy Lockhart’s life shortfall.
Wesson intends to make up a lesson for his Defence Against the Dark Arts professor.
So he wrapped the notebook Horcrux in a large envelope and found the opportunity to send it directly to Gilderoy Lockhart’s desk.
Of course.
The large envelope quickly caught Gilderoy Lockhart’s attention.
However, when Gilderoy Lockhart saw the big envelope, the writer opened it almost without hesitation. He wanted to see how many words of admiration his devoted fan had written for him!
Very unfortunate.
There is only one notebook inside.
When Gerald Lockhart opened the empty notebook in surprise, a note fell out of the notebook. He picked up the note and glanced at it.
[Mr. Gilderoy Lockhart, I have always liked your works, I hope this notebook can add a new color to your life.
It used to be the notebook of a famous magician, and there may be some unknown secrets hidden in it. I believe that only you who have traveled the world can discover the secrets. 】
“interesting…”
A smile appeared on Gilderoy Lockhart’s mouth.
For a writer who likes to hunt for strange stories, he needs some writing materials. Maybe this notebook can really bring him a different kind of new story?
Preferably the kind that sells well…
Do not.
As long as it is a story written by him, it will definitely sell well!
Gilderoy Lockhart flipped through the notebook in his hand, rubbed his fingers against the cover of the notebook, and frowned slightly, he didn’t notice anything wrong.
It seems…
Just a quaint notebook, right?
There are no exquisite patterns on it, and there is not even any ancient family imprint on it. Instead, it is more like a common notebook used by a student to record classroom knowledge…
It’s like casually bought in Diagon Alley, and it’s even a bit shabby…
When Gilderoy Lockhart opened the notebook, he felt a little teased because there was nothing written in it!
An empty notebook?
Gilderoy Lockhart’s mouth twitched, and he could only shake his head helplessly, picked up the quill on the table, and seriously wrote a line of messages in the notebook.
Gilderoy Lockhart didn’t intend to keep this unremarkable notebook. After writing the message, he planned to send the notebook back to the person who wrote the letter. I believe it must be a surprise.
However, when Gilderoy Lockhart wrote the first line of comments, the ink on the notebook slowly seeped into it and disappeared without a trace, which immediately piqued his interest!
This is indeed an unusual notebook!
Gilderoy Lockhart stared intently at the empty white paper and slowly stretched out his quill to try to write something again, when a line suddenly appeared in the notebook. .
[You, do you want to be a greater writer? 】
“…”
The smile at the corner of Gilderoy Lockhart’s mouth gradually solidified on his face.
After being silent for a moment, the famous writer in the magic world smiled again and wrote in the notebook, as if in response to the notebook: [Sorry, I should be the best-selling author in the entire world now. 】
【What about the Muggle world? 】
A heart-wrenching sentence was written on the notebook, and a line of words slowly reappeared: [Mr. Gilderoy Lockhart, I can see that your smile and your works will make wizards and Muggles live in peace bridge…】
The seventeen-year-old Tom Riddle hidden in this notebook is a real wise and ruthless little devil who slowly seduces people with the information he knows as if he was a student.
This line of words made Gilderoy Lockhart a little overwhelmed.
To be honest…
No one has ever said this…
Gilderoy Lockhart didn’t even dare to think so…
After all, anyone who leaks the existence of the wizarding world and wizards will be wanted and arrested by the Ministry of Magic, and even serious cases may be sent to Azkaban…
but…
have to admit…
Gilderoy Lockhart was a little moved.
In fact, he has always wanted to attract more people’s attention to his works and make himself admired by more people, even if he knows that he is just a thief who steals other people’s lives…
【I dare not do this…】
Gilderoy Lockhart narrowed his eyes and slowly began to write: [What do you think should be done to get the Ministry of Magic to allow the Muggle world to sell my books? 】
【There is no good way to do this…】
A line of words slowly appeared on the notebook, which instantly extinguished the desire in Gilderoy Lockhart’s eyes.
next moment.
A line of words quickly appeared on the notebook again.
【Maybe you can try some useful tricks】
Voldemort’s remnant was hidden in his notebook, and he recklessly lured an idiot into his own conspiracy: [Find a way to put your book directly in the Muggle world, make one thing a given fact, your book must be It will become the favorite book of Muggles. When Muggles discover the existence of wizards, when Muggles and wizards conflict, use your identity and the influence of best-selling authors to eliminate the conflict between wizards and Muggles, so that everyone can living together in harmony…]
“…”
This risk is a bit big!
Gilderoy Lockhart once thought about the first step. He thought about his book appearing in the Muggle world, but he never dared to think about the next thing…
Thinking about it now…
If his book really sells in the Muggle world…
If he is as influential in the Muggle world ~www.mtlnovel.com~ as he is in the wizarding world, would it really be possible to bridge the gap between the two?
Gilderoy Lockhart’s heart fluttered a little.
Just being able to become a best-selling author admired by both worlds, and being able to gain countless readers of his books, is enough to make him feel unbearable!
【If you can do it, you will not get the false and useless Merlin Medal, you will become the next Merlin… 】
The seventeen-year-old Tom Riddle in the notebook is always so seductive when he says it like this, and this is the age at which he is best at bewitching people.
