What did Lockhart see in this pile of materials?

He saw a list of all the people he had used the Oblivion Spell to cast before, as well as their recent status, and of course, their history of being stolen by him. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

He turned the page faster and faster, making a rattling sound between the pages of the book, as if he wanted to use this unconscious action to dispel the fear in his heart.

Ruined and ruined, falling off the altar, once these black histories are exposed, it is enough for him to become a lost dog from a hero admired by thousands of people to a dog that everyone shouts and beats, as for the latest heroic deeds, it will naturally not be believed, not to mention that this itself is fake.

He trembled and turned to the last page, only to see a sentence written on it in dark ink: "Do it yourself." His gaze seemed to be sucked into these words, and a majestic old man's voice sounded in his ears, as if thunderbolt, and some fragments of vague memories also pierced his mind at the same time, setting off a burst of turmoil.

A spirit, sitting on the bed, Lockhart came back to his senses, thinking carefully about the image that had just appeared in his mind, while chewing on the words of warning him.

Lockhart remembered the demagogic notebook, saw Dumbledore in the Chamber of Secrets, and easily solved the basilisk as if he had crushed a worm, and saw himself unconscious, as well as Hermione, the schoolgirl who admired him, and Malfoy, the schoolgirl who gave him whiskey.

"Why did he give me the credit?" Lockhart thought.

He remembered the abnormal enthusiasm of those reporters just now, for him, who had experienced a hundred battles and had fought with reporters countless times, this incident could be big or small, but the reporters were so abnormal that he smelled a smell of "conspiracy".

"yes, that's it. Lockhart had a flash of inspiration and came up with an explanation that seemed plausible to him, and in fact there was part of the reason.

Dumbledore's own prestige had reached its peak, and as the greatest white mage of the time who had long been famous and had defeated Grindelwald, there was nothing surprising about taking out the basilisk, and the students and teachers would only take it for granted. "Oh, the professor has dealt with a basilisk, and the school is calm again. ”

But it's different if it's your own.

The more Lockhart made up his mind, the more he felt that Dumbledore was unfathomable.

In the same way as saving the world, if you feel that if the hero is just a gesture, the gratitude will not be very deep, on the contrary, if the hero pays a considerable price for it, people's reverence will be quite warm.

He is a person who "sacrifices greatly" for this matter.

Dumbledore somehow knew my true level, and used it as an excuse to publicize my merits and give me a decent excuse to leave the school.

Thinking of this, Lockhart was grateful and in awe of Dumbledore.

As for why Dumbledore had to go to great lengths to arrange this Lockhart, if he remembered correctly, the little girl named Hermione was a wizard of Muggle blood, and the school teacher rescued such a student regardless of his own safety, and set off a storm in public opinion to challenge the stubborn bloodlinealists in the wizarding world again.

The peaceful coexistence of wizards and Muggles is not only Dumbledore's assertion, but also what Lockhart has always insisted on, although the former lives up to his name and is the respected first wizard, and the latter is just a straw bag.

Thinking of this, Lockhart had a little more respect for this old man who shared his ideals.

People who have experienced life and death will think more, maybe Lockhart suddenly opened up, and part of the analysis actually coincided with the truth.

However, people will always subconsciously forget the memories that are unfavorable to them, and Lockhart obviously let go of himself as the initiator, and calmly accepted the official explanation, ignoring the greatest possibility that he could be manipulated by the diary.

Well, maybe Professor Dumbledore moved more in his memory.

In short, Lockhart may be moved now, but he still has to look at Dumbledore's face to act.

At this moment, he took a step back and said to the students in the audience: "You can let the principal answer this question, after all, Ron, you also said that this is just a rumor." Then give up the place back to Dumbledore.

"Ron-san, you're very well informed. Dumbledore stroked his beard and glanced at the audience. The students all looked excited, "Still. Dumbledore shifted his words and pressed his hands down, "You seem to have mistaken one thing, some magical creatures are more terrifying than basilisks. Dumbledore's previous amiable tone turned serious.

The students then remembered that the basilisk was also one of the magical creatures, maybe it would be able to keep them safe, and the strength of the teacher should not be too weak, and the students hung their heads in disappointment again.

But then Dumbledore sold a pass. He continued, "Indeed, your magical biology teacher will retire in third grade next year, and he will need more time to continue to spend time with his cute little creatures. Dumbledore paused, holding his glasses, which were already a little crooked. "So you're going to have a new teacher next semester, and it's likely that you're familiar with it, so please feel free to wait. ”

Hearing this, Ron could only sit back on the stool helplessly.

Harry made a disappointed look and slammed the table in front of him.

Obviously, they will never see Snape's old bat beaten up again, and they actually still retain some hope, maybe one day Lockhart will teach him, and his mana will be restored, and he can be "reinstated". It's also more convenient.

Lockhart continued to start his "Heroic Deeds Report", and with what he thought was Dumbledore's acquiescence, Lockhart did his best to exaggerate it, drawing bursts of applause from the students in the audience, while Hermione stood beside him with only a burst of irritation and unprovoked disgust.

There were also some discordant voices under the cheers, all coming from the Slytherin house, and whenever Lockhart spoke of the so-called "**", there were applause and shouts from other places, but there were cheers and boos from this side.

"That's so powerful, who is the one who has lost all his mana now?" They talked a lot.

"What a shame to sacrifice your future to save a mudblood. It's a little quieter, but it's a lot.

Dumbledore gave Snape a look, and Snape waved his wide robes, signaling his students to stop.

There was still a commotion at the dinner table, who didn't know Snape's preference for the house, and it was too early to really get angry with this kind of obstruction, maybe Snape wanted them to do the same, so as to repay the shame of being defeated.

That's what most Slytherin students think.

Pansy sat next to Malfoy, not participating in any of the heckling she had just made, and she looked at him quietly, fearing that his emotions would fluctuate even more, for today's party did not seem to be very pleasant, and the more the "hero" was praised, the more pitiful the villain looked trampled underfoot.

"Enough. Malfoy slapped the table, startling Pansy, and when she thought he was about to run away, Malfoy said something.

"If we keep making trouble, the Headmaster won't let Professor Snape remind us anymore that a loss is a loss, and it's not a good habit to slander others behind our backs, all we need to do is win back next time. Malfoy uttered this in his own inscrutable voice, but it reached the ears of every Slytherin student, and the older students were even more impressed by him, not because it made sense, but because it seemed to be a novel magic.

Despite his defeat, Malfoy's reputation in the house was unprecedented, and most people chose to follow his arrangement, compared to Malfoy's words being much more effective than their headmaster's.

Looking at Lockhart, who was gushing and talking like a river on the stage, Malfoy only sighed in his heart.
