Chapter 22: Cedros
August 19, Diagon Lane, Blotted Bookstore.
A large crowd of people crowded outside the store, and a large banner was pulled upstairs:
Gilderoy Lockhart
Autobiographies are signed for sale
"I Can Magic"
Today from 12:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m
After Xiao Han decided to take over as the Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts, he hid in the name of preparing teaching materials and enjoyed a rare quiet day.
He was really fed up with Lockhart's life, not only because he was tired of pretending to be someone else, but most importantly, Lockhart's life was so disgusting.
But he can't really hide for too long, after all, with his current identity as Lockhart, if he hasn't shown up for too long, the flaw will be too big, not in line with Lockhart's character, and it is easy to arouse suspicion.
So, as the school year was about to start, he was preparing to hold a book signing event in Diagon Alley.
As for the textbooks ordered by Dumbledore, Xiao Han just wrote the entire set of Lockhart's works.
Although it has been artistically processed, and the experiences in it are all stolen from others, the stories in it are all true, and the way to deal with danger is also correct.
If students really study these contents thoroughly, it will also be very helpful for them to improve their personal strength.
Of course, a complete set of Lockhart's books is not cheap, costing tens of gold gallons, and the textbooks of more than 100 students at Hogwarts are not a small amount.
He doesn't lack such a little money now, but if he doesn't do this, wouldn't it be in line with Lockhart's character, how could the real Lockhart not make a fortune when he encounters such a good opportunity.
After making a lot of money, he can also promote books and increase his fame.
However, the consequence of Xiao Han's doing so was to trap the Weasleys.
Percy, the twins George Fred, Ron, and Ginny, who just started school this year, five sets of Lockhart's complete works, plus other school supplies.
It seems that the Weasleys have a headache and have to use a lot of second-hand goods.
Mr. Arthur Weasley's modest salary at the Ministry of Magic was not enough.
……
The book signing event was a success, and Lockhart's fame attracted a large number of fans, and of course, reporters from the Daily Prophet.
The winding line stretched from the door to the back of the bookstore, and Xiao Han was the person in line, signing the name of Lockhart, whom he had imitated for a long time.
Suddenly there was some commotion ahead, Xiao Han looked over and found that it was a short reporter from the Daily Prophet who had a conflict with a little boy.
He still knew this little boy, the little boy who was paralyzed by fear at his feet when he first came to this world, Ron Weasley.
Xiao Han moved his eyes to the side again, then, the other one with Ron, the skinny boy with black-rimmed glasses, was Harry Potter.
Thinking of the plot in the original book, Xiao Han had a Lockhart-like smile on his face.
No way, I've been pretending Lockhart for so long, especially this toothy smile, I don't know how many times I have to laugh a day, Xiao Han feels like he's about to be bent.
"Isn't this Harry Potter?" Xiao Han pretended to be surprised, and walked quickly to Harry Potter's side.
The crowd moved out of the way, whispering excitedly. Xiao Han grabbed Harry's arm and pulled him forward, and the audience erupted in applause.
"Ladies and gentlemen," Xiao Han said loudly, waving his hand to silence everyone, "what an extraordinary moment! I would like to take this wonderful occasion to announce a small matter, which I have not said for some time. ”
"When young Harry walked into the Blotted Bookstore today, he just wanted to buy my autobiography - I was willing to give it to him for free on the spot—"
Another round of applause,
"—but he didn't know," Xiao Han continued, shaking Harry so hard that his glasses slipped onto the tip of his nose.
"He's going to get something more valuable than 'I Can Magic', and in fact, he's going to get a real, magical me.
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, it is my pleasure and pride to announce that this September, I will be the Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry! ”
Xiao Han only let go of Harry at this time, in fact, he didn't have to do it, but out of a bad taste, Xiao Han did it anyway.
The crowd was talking about what Shaw Han, or Lockhart, had just said, and it was generally believed that Dumbledore's decision to invite Lockhart to become a Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts was a wise decision.
A powerful wizard like Gilderoy Lockhart who has the courage to fight against the dark forces and is a powerful wizard to teach Hogwarts students about the Defence Against the Dark Arts is a fitting fit.
It didn't take long for the crowd's attention to be drawn to Arthur Weasley and Lucius Malfoy's fight.
After all, these two are no ordinary characters, the two are the current heads of the famous, pure-blood wizarding family in Britain, the Weasley family and the Malfoy family.
These two people actually gave up the wizarding methods, and like barbarians, they waved their fists and beat each other, such a hot news, it will be in the headlines tomorrow.
While it was fun to watch the fight, Xiao Han's eyes were mainly focused on Lucius.
After the two finished fighting, Lucius smiled wickedly and returned a black notebook to Ginny's book.
Xiao Han looked at the black notebook, but he was a little curious, this Voldemort's Horcrux is a key item throughout the entire Harry Potter novels, I don't know what kind of thing it is.
……
Simsey, Seaside Cottage.
A young bearded man in a robe and a turban on his head buried his head in the light, among the stacks of books around him.
One hand turned the pages of the book, and the other hand unconsciously gestured in the air, and with the wave of the fingers, there were mysterious changes from time to time.
At this time, the door was pushed open from the outside, and Xiao Han walked in in his own appearance.
"Cedros, how's that?" Xiao Han asked the man in the room, in the pile of books.
"It's really wonderful magic, it doesn't belong to the basic elemental magic, and it's different from the rune magic of the dwarves, from the perspective of the essence of power, it's a little similar to the source magic and the undead magic, but it's different."
Cedros did not get up, and the movements of his hands did not stop, and when he heard Xiao Han's question, he replied with a touch of amazement in his tone.
Although Xiao Han also felt that there was a big difference between the spells of the Harry Potter world and the magic of the Heroes Invincible World, perhaps because he had not experienced systematic magic learning, he didn't have much feeling.
For him, it was only necessary to be able to use magic skillfully.
Although Xiao Han has a basic understanding of the six elements with the help of Yasha Baoyu, he can learn and cast basic and novice-level magic.
However, his deeper understanding of magic is limited by his own limited knowledge of magic, and he has no clue.
This is also the reason why his strength rests on the formal level.
Even at the formal level (that is, the novice level), those departments can't master the expertise and ability, let alone the expert level?
With his current strength, he can only be said to be a junior apprentice of the Spirit Oracle School who has dabbled in a lot of knowledge, but has only barely reached the formal level, and is the existence of the tail of the crane.
After all, those full-level mages who have received a systematic magical education do not have a few specialized abilities in their hands.
In terms of the understanding of magic, any one of them is stronger than the current Xiao Han.
He still has a long way to go above magic.
