Chapter 554: The Story of Gilderoy Lockhart (2)

"Finally gone. ”

Lockhart looked at Albert's departing back and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

This genius wizard, who claims to be able to surpass Dumbledore in the future, really lives up to his name.

After Lockhart came to Hogwarts, he instinctively wanted to stay away from this genius wizard, but unfortunately he never succeeded.

He would always be asked the right questions, and if Lockhart hadn't prepared enough when he wrote the book, he might have already revealed his flaws.

Who would believe what they have done, the adventures they have experienced, the spells they have used, and they can't tell them clearly?

Unfortunately, Lockhart himself knew he was a liar, which is why he hated dealing with a genius like Albert Anderson.

God knows what problems the other party will find to embarrass him Lockhart.

Moreover, it is highly likely that he will ...... It's not that it's highly likely, but that Albert is definitely doubting himself.

Although Lockhart had no evidence, he had a gut feeling that Mr. Anderson probably knew something and was already beginning to doubt himself.

Lockhart couldn't help but wonder if he had made the right choice to accept Dumbledore's invitation to serve at Hogwarts.

Although his books were bought and received a wave of attention and fame, Lockhart always felt that his approach was a little inappropriate, or rather ...... Well, it should be said that Lockhart began to regret it.

He wants to quit now!

The Defence Against the Dark Arts professor had a bad reputation, Lockhart knew about it from the beginning, after all, he had been at Hogwarts for seven years, and anyone who wasn't an idiot would know about it.

Although Dumbledore had promised him that he would be able to avoid the damage caused by the curse if he resigned early, Lockhart had been subjected to something worse when he first arrived at school.

Originally, the purpose of coming to Hogwarts was to use Harry Potter's reputation for defeating Lord Voldemort to improve his reputation.

Lockhart wanted Harry Potter to be his protégé, and that was his main purpose in Hogwarts.

When he met Harry at the Blotted bookstore, Lockhart even gave him his complete set of books, hoping to win some of Harry's favor with him.

You must know that a full set of books will also require a large sum of Galleons, however, the savior still does not have much affection for him.

Later, Potter and his friends drove a flying Ford to school, which he saw as nothing more than a show, so Lockhart helped Harry escape confinement, asked him to help him answer letters from his admirers, and took the opportunity to teach Harry about fame and fortune.

However, the plan did not go well, and even Lockhart could sense that Harry Potter was trying to avoid him, which was not in line with his original plan.

So, Lockhart changed his plans again, he got a lot of Quidditch tactics, and planned to give Harry a small stove and teach him how to play Quidditch.

Unfortunately, Harry Potter refused again.

However, contrary to Harry Potter, another genius at Hogwarts has a good relationship with him, or the other party takes the initiative to approach him, but Lockhart has no intention of using Albert to improve his reputation.

He felt that if he got too close to Albert, the other party would probably discover his secret.

Albert gave Lockhart a very bad feeling, especially his eyes, which sometimes gave him the illusion of being seen through by the other party, just like when Albert talked to him about the restoration of human form used in "Wandering with Werewolves" just now, he could feel that Albert's eyes did not have a little admiration, but more curiosity and anticipation for this spell.

That genius was interested in restoring the Humanoid Charm!

If it had been in the past, teaching the other party to restore the human form spell was undoubtedly an opportunity to draw the relationship between the two parties, but it was a pity that Lockhart would not have used this spell at all.

When he heard Albert ask like himself, he almost couldn't answer, and finally had to send Albert away with the need to take some time to sort out the professor's thoughts for him, but the genius seemed to have seen through his thoughts and said that he would come to visit another day.

Compared to a silly boy like Harry Potter, someone like Albert Anderson was so terrible that even Lockhart wondered why he was doing this.

Sure enough, Harry Potter is better to get along with!

Although he didn't want to pay attention to Albert, the meaningful smile on the other party's departure made Lockhart feel bad, and he had to return to his former residence to find something useful.

"Wandering with Werewolves" still left a deep memory for Lockhart.

No way, the old Armenian wizard is old and ugly, the clothes he wears are tasteless, and he likes to put the photo on the cover, which makes him complain a lot.

At the beginning, Lockhart spent a lot of time investigating this matter, and also visited the village that had suffered from the plague of werewolves, and cast an amnesia spell on the villagers who lived there, so that the villagers and the old Armenian wizard completely forgot about the matter.

Lockhart naturally knows something about the Humanoid Restoration Charm, after all, it is the most central spell in "Wandering with Werewolves". It took him a lot of time to learn about the Restoration Charm from the old wizard.

The Humanoid Restoration Charm is a spell invented by the opponent himself, but the opponent does not seem to realize the significance of this spell. Lockhart had thought about making a name for himself with this spell, after all, the spell that could temporarily transform a wolf-like werewolf back into a human form was significant.

So when Lockhart left, he not only erased the other party's memories, but also stole the records and research of the Humanoid Restoration Charm.

If he could learn it, and if he could make it known, Lockhart knew what kind of reputation he could get, but unfortunately the Restoration Charm was an extremely complex and difficult spell to cast, and he didn't get to learn it in the end.

Lockhart was hesitant to give the notebook to Albert, or whether they could work together to improve his reputation with Albert.

What if Albert was his protégé?

Lockhart quickly snuffed out the idea, which was not a wise choice.

"Forget it, I'd better stay away from him. Lockhart opened his cabinet and began rummaging through the cabinets for the notes he had hidden.

Half an hour later, Lockhart finally found the leather notebook in a certain box, with some parchment paper in it, Lockhart carefully flipped through it, and after there was indeed nothing else that could not be seen by Albert, he returned to Hogwarts Castle with the book.
