Chapter 555: Confidant Teacher
Or did it fail?
Albert put away his wand in frustration, sat down in his armchair, and flipped through the notebook that Lockhart had given him.
In the last few days, Albert has looked through it several times, and has tried countless times to restore the Humanoid Charm, but has not been able to use the spell successfully, let alone make the Humanoid Restoration Charm appear on the skill panel.
As long as the magic appears on the skill panel, no matter how difficult Albert is, Albert can learn it, but the recovery of the humanoid spell does not appear on the skill panel, and Albert is also helpless.
With his current magical powers, it wouldn't take much time to learn a spell as difficult as the Patronus Charm, and if he hadn't learned the Restoration Charm, it was necessary to wonder if the note Lockhart had given him was fake.
Albert was confident that Lockhart would not deceive himself, even if he was a liar, he was just a liar who did not understand the art of Occlumency, and it was impossible for him to lie in front of him. Moreover, Albert used verbal inducement to confuse Lockhart and make him obediently hand over his things, while Albert would keep it a secret for him, and would not trouble Lockhart with questions again.
Well, keep it secret for now.
So, something must have gone wrong in some way.
Lockhart's notebook itself is problematic?
Albert didn't dwell on these questions either, he planned to use the matter to ask other wizards, such as Nicol Lemay, who might be able to see what was wrong.
Albert is indeed far from these old wizards.
As he prepares to walk through the hole in front of the portrait of the Fat Lady, he meets Hermione.
"That...... Did Professor Lockhart ...... privately" Hermione stole a glance at Albert's side face and asked cautiously, "I wonder if I can go with you too." ”
"What are you talking about?" Albert looked sideways at the girl beside him, not understanding what she meant.
"I've often seen you come out of Professor Lockhart's office. Hermione blushed and said, "I want to ...... too"
"Do you want to go in?" the fat lady glared impatiently at the two in front of her.
"I'm sorry. Albert motioned for Hermione to go in and speak, he had already heard the meaning of the other party's words, and was quite speechless about it, could this be chasing stars?
The two of them entered the Gryffindor common room together, and sat down in a remote corner where no one was around.
"You admire Professor Lockhart?" Albert looked at Hermione curiously and asked casually.
"Uh......" Hermione's cheeks flushed, "don't you think he's brave?"
"I don't know if I'm brave or not, but I think Lockhart is really handsome and charming. Albert looked at Hermione with a look of "I know, I can understand you," "It's okay, you don't have to be shy about it, just like boys like beautiful and confident girls." ”
"Is there anything wrong? Ginny. With that, Albert turned his head to ask Ginny, who had been eavesdropping on them since just now.
"Nothing?" Ginny shook her head.
"If you have something to say, just say it. ”
"Do boys like beautiful and confident girls?"
"Yes, such girls are usually attractive. Albert whispered, "Harry Potter is no exception. ”
Ginny's face turned red like a ripe apple.
"Perhaps, you shouldn't focus most of your attention on Potter, it's a good idea to give him up for a while, be confident, show your charm, Potter will notice you one day. Albert looked at Ginny, who seemed to understand, and said, "What is too easy to get, most people don't know how to cherish it." ”
"Thank you. Ginny muttered and got up to leave.
"What's wrong?" Albert asked, noticing that Hermione was looking at him.
"Nothing, just a little curious. Hermione shook her head and said.
Fred and George's sister seemed to admire Harry Potter very much, but she was too shy and her lack of self-confidence was always ignored by Harry. Albert explained, "By the way, I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed that Lockhart didn't help me with the stove, I mean he didn't teach me some extra knowledge." ”
"Oh. Hermione was disappointed, she really wanted Lockhart to give her extra lessons, so she could have more contact with the people she admired.
"Of course, if you don't understand something, you can ask Lockhart himself, those stories still have his value, you can study the content carefully, and you will definitely get a good harvest. Albert reminded: "For example, what problems need to be paid attention to in the face of werewolves, vampires and other dark creatures, the spells used to deal with dark creatures in the book, and various tips, you should be kind to find out, look for useful knowledge in the book, and if you don't understand, go to Professor Lockhart, I believe he will be willing to help you solve your doubts." ”
"Thank you, Albert. Hermione excitedly walked away.
"No thanks. Albert looked at Hermione's departing back and whispered. He suddenly looked forward to how Lockhart would face Hermione's questioning offensive.
It's true that he won't bother Lockhart with questions, but others can, let alone Lockhart's admirers, is he embarrassed to turn people away?
"I heard it all. ”
A voice interrupted Albert's thoughts.
Shanna sat down in the armchair where Hermione was sitting and looked at Albert and said, "Is it really good for you to do this?"
"Hermione admires Lockhart, and I'm just giving her a suggestion to get in touch with the people she admires. Albert said calmly.
"You know that's not what I said. Shanna looked at Albert and suddenly laughed, "What kind of character is Lockhart, don't you know?"
"Don't you like him?" Albert asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Not everybody likes someone just because they're handsome!" said Shanna quietly.
"I thought ......"
"I already have someone I like. Shanna whispered, "It's a pity that that person has a girlfriend." ”
At this moment, Albert's face suddenly felt a little embarrassed, he understood what Shanna meant, and in the end all the words could only be turned into a "sorry".
"It's not your fault. Shanna stopped talking, but finally let out a deep sigh and got up and walked away.
In Shanna's view, Albert's approach can be described as sinister.
With Lockhart's level of teaching, Hermione would probably be exposed quickly as long as she asked Albert the questions he had just said.
Over time, Miss Granger would begin to become suspicious of Lockhart, only to discover that he was just an ordinary family, that the books were all fictional, and that Lockhart himself was not as great as he was written.
Oh, yes!
Books can also deceive.
