"Professor Lockhart, what are you doing?" Severus Snape said as he pushed open the door to his office and coldly greeted the uninvited guest outside the door.

"Nothing, nothing, Severus!" Gilderoy Lockhart shook his head repeatedly, "It's just that a lovely lady told me that you seem to be disciplining a student I like in the office, so I came over to check on it, what's going on?"

"Lovely lady?" Snape repeated mockingly, glaring coldly at the girl standing behind Lockhart.

Astoria Greengrass stood there a little bewildered, not daring to look the dean in the eye at all.

"You've done a good, very good job, Miss Greengrass!" Professor Snape's voice was emotionless, "Discipline...... No, I just invited a regular student in my Potions class to do me a small favor and have an afternoon tea...... Now, it's over!"

"You can go, Hart!" Severus Snape brutally pulled Jon up and pushed him out the door.

"Then don't bother, Severus. Lockhart was still in that cheerful voice.

The moment Professor Snape closed the door to his office, Astoria trotted over in a panic.

I heard her stammer, "Jon...... I heard Daphne say that you were sent to the office by Professor Snape to be punished...... I don't know what to do...... I want to go to Professor Sprout, but I don't know where her office is...... Professor Lockhart met me and said he could help me......"

"Of course!" said Lockhart smugly, "I met Miss Greengrass with a sad face, and then she told me something...... I would love to help a lovely lady with a little trouble. ”

"Thank you, Astoria......" Jon said gratefully, gently stroking the girl's blonde hair.

"I ......" the girl's face turned red for a moment.

"I'm sorry to excuse me......" Professor Lockhart's voice sounded out inopportunely, "But Mr. Hart, would you be interested in accompanying me to another afternoon tea now...... I'm running out of time......"

Lockhart's last sentence was very low, not at all the frivolous tone he usually spoke, but extremely calm.

Is it afternoon tea again......

Jon frowned, glanced at Astoria, and then at the Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher with a stern face.

He patted the blonde girl on the shoulder, then turned to him and said, "I think I have time, Professor Lockhart!"

......

This wasn't the first time Jon had visited Gilderoy Lockhart's Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom office on the fourth floor.

This time, however, the photographs of Lockhart on the walls and on the table no longer showed the same flirtatious smile as before, and instead they were all thinking with rather serious expressions.

"Thank you for your help, Professor!" Jon said calmly as he walked into Lockhart's office behind him.

"It's nothing. Lockhart shrugged his shoulders: "Just this morning, Professor Snape asked me if I had picked up three books in the library's forbidden section on September 5 last year, namely: "Shut Your Brain", "Vicious Disfiguring Spell", and "Powerful Potion......"

Jon frowned slightly, and couldn't help but take a few steps back.

"Then I told Severus that I had indeed borrowed it, and had eagerly discussed with him the contents of the three books, and I'm sure he thought I was talking nonsense!" Lockhart winked at Jon slightly, "and he would never suspect you." ”

"Why do you want to help me, Professor Lockhart......" Jon's left hand reached into his pocket, already gripping the PSM pistol inside.

Lockhart lazily dropped his wand onto the bed to the side, then nodded to Jon, "Jon...... I've said a long time ago that you're my best student...... No teacher would mind helping his best students!"

Jon pursed his lips and didn't answer.

"There are so many students in the whole castle of Hogwarts...... There's only one student who's listened to every one of my lessons, and that's you, and I'm not stupid, Jon...... Although I behaved a lot. Professor Lockhart laughed, as if he had heard a very funny joke.

"I don't understand, Professor......" Jon suppressed his curiosity, feigning a puzzled expression.

"And what will surprise you even more!" Professor Lockhart continued:

"Actually, I'm a liar, and my books and deeds are all fake...... You don't seem to be as surprised as I imagined, Jon, and I think you must have guessed it a long time ago, at least partially. ”

"That's true, Professor!" Jon said, "Your behavior is very different from what you describe in your book......"

"It's easy to guess, I think almost all the students have noticed it, but you've listened to every lesson I've listened to, and that's what I admire about you the most, Jon!" Professor Lockhart picked up the suitcase and began to stuff the photos, clothes, and so on, little by little.

"The hero who saved a village from the scourge of werewolves was not me, but an ugly old American wizard, and the man who banished the ghost of Wanlun was a Scottish witch, who traveled with ghouls, vacationed with the dominatrix, and lived with the Tibetan snowman...... It's not my ......," Gilderoy Lockhart put it bluntly:

"My mission is simply to track down and find these good wizards, gain their trust, and ask them how they managed to do that...... And then I'm going to cast a clever amnesia spell on them, so they'll forget about it completely. ”

"Why are you telling me this, Professor Lockhart!" Jon had quietly opened the safety of the PSM pistol.

Lockhart Ping Pong put the lid on the suitcase and locked it.

Then he sat down on the couch:

"It doesn't make a difference, child......" his expression looked a little decadent, "in a few hours, the Daily Prophet will publish the truth about my glorious deeds, and the whole world will know that I am nothing more than a liar abusing the Forgetting Charm, and the Ministry of Magic will even consider me a criminal and send me to Azkaban." ”

"So Jon, even if I don't tell you now, you'll find out soon......" Gilderoy Lockhart said quietly, "what do you think...... Why would I take this damn job?"
