"Wizarding Weekly's Most Charming Smile Award, for the sixth time!" Lockhart put down the magazine contentedly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

On the cover is the picture of him walking out of the screaming shack and raising his wand to the sun. In the photo, the corners of his mouth are slightly upturned, forming a "charming" smile - in fact, the corners of his mouth twitch after being hit by Ms. Ravenclaw......

"Well, Lu, thank you for coming to visit me. And also...... Ms. Rowener. Thank you so much! Although he couldn't stop thanking him, his eyes didn't dare to look at the lady standing behind Lu Yuan. Apparently it has been beaten out of the psychological shadow.

"Gildero, my name is Elaine Ravenclaw now, you can call me Elaine."

The woman's appearance has changed dramatically - gray hair has changed to long bright silver hair, her cheeks have become thinner, and the shape of her eyes has changed significantly. The height has shrunk from the original 1.8 meters tall to 1.7 meters, even if he wears high heels and stands next to Lu Yuan, he looks like a bird...... In short, she has perfectly transformed from a domineering female president type to a slender and lovely type, and there are obvious traces of French blood on her body.

Even if the current Lady Ravenclaw were to be compared to the portrait she had left at Hogwarts, she would not find much in common. People who say they don't know will not doubt in that direction at all. But all this is not important, what really scares Lockhart is - this Ravenclaw lady standing in the ward has a body! She's no longer a ghost!

When he realized this, Gilderoy Lockhart was a Spartan person. "Ma'am, you, you...... Are you resurrected?! ”

In the wizarding world, resurrection from the dead is a bigger problem than eternal life! After all, alchemy had kept Nicolame alive for hundreds of years...... Although there is such a thing as the Resurrection Stone, no one has verified whether the Resurrection Stone can really bring people back from the dead! As for the future Voldemort will also "come back from the dead" - that can only be considered fake, he has never actually died, but only recast the flesh!

"Resurrection...... Not count. Ravenkla had a regretful look on her face.

Lu Yuan told her that when she died and actively transformed into a ghost, part of her soul had been permanently lost. This is the law of nature and cannot be reversed, so this part of the soul cannot be remedied. So she's not really "resurrected" in the strict sense of the word, it's just that the ghost wears a prosthetic coat called "Elaine" - such a "body" is much less effective than a real body when resisting spells against soul attacks.

But in Lockhart's eyes, Ms. Ravenclaw's regret, every subtle expression is clearly reflected on her face, isn't it called resurrection if it is so vivid?!

How high your requirements are for the resurrection!

"Forget it." Elaine shook her head, waving away the complicated wisp of thought just now.

You can't be too far away, compared to the appearance of the undulating earth demon, who is not a ghost or a ghost, in fact, her situation is already extremely good! It's just that the soul feels a little uncomfortable, like wearing a coat that doesn't fit well...... But if this situation is made public, I don't know how many people will be envious and go crazy! Thinking of this, Elaine quietly glanced at the person with her back to her, and her eyes were very complicated.

An amazing guy.

When they first fought, she didn't feel how strong Lu Yuan's strength was. Ravenclaw could only perceive it, and it seemed that Lu Yuan had been restrained and did not use certain means. Ravenclaw didn't care about this, as one of the top great magicians in the world, she also had a lot of hidden methods - but how could she have guessed that some people would go out of their way to hide up to 99% of their strength in order to win or lose (Neville Longbottom's ceiling is too low now)!

And Neville's unlucky egg has been unlucky this semester, and his strength has stagnated again. It is estimated that we will have to wait until the summer vacation to catch up with the average progress......

Therefore, it can be said that it is not Lu Yuan who fights her, but Lu Yuan's first-year version.

However, when she and Lu Yuan were able to sit down and chat, they were shocked to find that this "young man" who was less than twenty years old had a huge knowledge reserve! You know, she's a Ravenclaw! The spirit of Ravenclaw College is "the plundering of all knowledge", and they greatly value wisdom and knowledge itself. As the founder of the Academy, Ms. Rowena Ravenclaw is not a second person in the world in terms of her strength and depth of knowledge.

Even the crown she created can make the person who wears it instantly smarter, and from the crown, there is no boundary knowledge for most people!

But in front of Lu Yuan, the only four words she got were "dwarfed", and then later, it turned into "high mountains look up"!

Because no matter how tricky and outlandish the questions Lady Ravenclaw asked, as well as the difficulties that have plagued the wizarding world for countless centuries, including resurrection from the dead, eternal life, breaking through the wall of rank, and other ancient secrets, can be solved by Lu Yuan, and more than one answer can be obtained! Of course, all the answers are vague bullet points – you know he's right, but there's no clue how to get there.

Because "knowledge is priceless and should never be given away for free" – there is a tacit understanding between Ms. Ravenclaw and Lu Yuan without words. If the lady can come up with the same precious knowledge, Lu Yuan will naturally be happy to exchange it; But the lady can't take it, so she can only see if Youmu has the opportunity to work for Lu Yuan......

"Can you make me live like a normal person? After waking up...... I suddenly longed to experience the world again. At that time, Mrs. Ravenclaw pleaded earnestly, "I am willing to pay for this with all my knowledge!" ”

Ms. Ravenclaw remembered Lu Yuan vividly—he didn't even raise an eyebrow when he heard this almost unreasonable, unassuming request. After just picking up the water and taking a sip, Yun said lightly, "What's so difficult about this." It's a nice day, so why don't we get things done today? ”

He then exhumed the bones of Ms. Ravenclaw, activated the physiological tissues that had been completely calcified, and cloned a new body...... At the end of the last century, around '92, cloning was not a high-tech thing. It's just that the genetic data is still incomplete, and there are many problems in clinical practice. But for two people who have mastered magic, these are not obstacles. How to combine the soul with the body, and how to transform the clone into a "prosthetic" that fits with the soul/ghost, this is the "core technology" mastered by the Dawn!

And then there is today's "Elaine...... Then "Elaine" went to the Ministry of Magic to register her and Lu Yuan as "husband and wife", and registered the "Screaming Shack" as a joint property under the names of the two...... So without Lu Yuan's knowledge, not only did he have a wife, but even half of the real estate was divided!

Lu Yuan is simply resentful of this - it's easy for my Chinese people to buy a house! If you turn your head and take half of the pit, you will pay back my hard-earned money! But when Mrs. Ravenclaw said that she could pay her debts, whatever she wanted, he shamefully coaxed it......

"Now," Elaine Ravenclaw pulled a wand out of her sleeve and placed it straight on Lockhart's head. "Swear! Lockhart, you've got enough fame and fortune, and in return, you must make sure to keep it all the secrets in your heart! "Although the lady was mentioned in the previous book, it was all made up, and it was published after being reviewed by the lady.

- Lady Laclauvine is not dead, not only is she not dead, but she has even returned to the world in a different identity...... If such a secret is exposed, it won't be strange if it upsets the entire wizarding world!

"Ok, I swear to Merlin...... Ahh

"Don't try to mess around!" Elaine's eyebrows were raised, and in an instant, the queen returned to the world. "Lockhart, or I'll just turn you into a frog and cut off your brain."

"Don't!" Lockhart immediately begged for mercy. The two had no choice but to conclude an "unbreakable oath" under the witness of Lu Yuan and hide this secret in their hearts forever. The "Unbreakable Oath" will kill the oath-taker the moment he breaks his promise, and with Lockhart's life-saving character, he must be eager to give himself a "forget-all nothing" at this moment! It's safest to know nothing.

"Don't worry, Lockhart, we're friends." Seeing Lockhart's depressed look, Lu Yuan stepped forward to comfort him. As a witness to the oath, hmm...... He could relax a little. However, Lao Lu is obviously not the kind of warm-hearted friend, he is definitely the friend of the lost friends.

"If friendship doesn't warm your heart, let the money come." Lu Yuan smiled and pulled out a check, and the amount on it instantly dazzled Lockhart's eyes!

The book "A Secret Date with a Screaming Shack" sold so well! It can be said that it has really reached the level of being sold to the magical world overseas, and even exported to the overseas magical world - this terrifying sales really validates the ambitious goal of "census of the wizarding world" as stated by the Daily Prophet!

Therefore, despite the limited economic aggregate of the entire wizarding world, after removing publishers, channels, and taxes, Lu Yuan and Lockhart received cash checks of up to 500,000 gold galleons in the first issue! Although the value of this money is equivalent to the huge sum of three and a half million pounds, it is impossible to exchange four million pounds for five hundred thousand gold galleons. The one-to-seven exchange rate is only used for small exchanges. In order to maintain the financial stability of the wizarding world, large exchanges can never be opened when the two economies are not equal......

It can be said that this time, Lu Yuan and Lockhart teamed up to rob the entire magic side! The effect can be compared to the robbery of Gringotts.

Of course, this money is half for one person, and Lu Yuan got 250,000 Galleons of it. Although the book was written by Lockhart, the whole incident was planned by him, and he was paid for it with a clear conscience. Now that the jingling Jin Gallon is in his pocket, Lao Lu's funds that were originally exhausted by buying a store and buying a house are instantly abundant. Many things that I want to do but don't have the funds can now start working on all fronts.

Of course, there are many other additional incomes beyond that - let's not mention the appreciation of the screaming shack itself because of the successful exorcism. After all, this is the countryside, and the increase is not as high as the capital of the dead - the Ministry of Magic sold a problematic house to an unsuspecting foreigner, and if there is no problem, forget it, and now that the problem has erupted, of course you have to come up with a compensation plan!

At first, the Ministry of Magic refused, but after Lu Yuan threatened diplomatic immunity, diplomatic incidents, and the like, Connelly Fuji had no way to give in! Of course, it is impossible to take out cash directly, that would record Fuji's incompetence in the accounts! Therefore, in a different way, the Ministry of Magic will carry out the engineering renovation of the screaming shack free of charge according to the requirements of Lu Yuan's "husband and wife", and the total cost cannot exceed 5,000 Galleons......

Then there is Lu Yuan's bets on the Screaming Shack gambling game in various places - I have to say that the British gambling system is huge and perfect, and they gamble on everything. Some gambling games are set up very "meticulously", so that Lao Lu not only won a lot, but also won many times! It's a story that gets up.

All of these things add up, and all of Lu Yuan's wealth adds up to more than 400,000 Galleons, and he has successfully stepped into the rich class of magicians, and it is almost all cash!

*****

Hogwarts, Christmas holidays.

It's been a gloomy and devastating semester for the Gryffindor Golden Triangle.

Hermione 1 Granger, Miss Jack-of-all-trades, was called a "mudblood" by Malfoy, and learned for the first time what this discriminatory word meant. This made her mood gloomy for months; Ron Weasley, who first crashed into an accident in a flying car and then broke his wand - which not only caused him to suffer in Transfiguration class, but also caused him to fight Malfoy in magic...... The consequences are extremely disgusting, so I won't talk about it here.

Finally, our savior, Harry Potter...... The worst of the trio.

First because the elf Dobby almost starved to death, and then he got into an accident in a flying car. And that wasn't all, he plunged headlong into the whirlpool where the Chamber of Secrets had been opened. And because of his single-mindedness, he fell deeper and deeper into the whirlpool, and even became the object of suspicion.

He broke his arm in a Quidditch match after being chased by Bludger, and was then pulled out of his entire arm by Lockhart......

He speaks to the snake on the stage of the dueling club, revealing himself as a "snake man", but he doesn't even know what "snake man" means - Salazar Slytherin and Voldemort are both "snake man", which means that it is likely that Harry opened the secret room!

Compared to these, being chased and harassed by fans, and meeting an unreliable teacher (Lockhart), these are really nothing......

So at Christmas, none of the depressed trio chose to go home, and all stayed on campus for the holidays. To be honest, Harry was even a little grateful to Lockhart for the events he had stirred up that had drawn everyone's attention, even Harry's. This really relieved him.

When Hermione pushed open the door to Harry's dorm room, she saw that there were only two of them left in the room—both asleep with their heads down.

"Wake up!" Hermione shouted, and she pulled the curtain open!

"Oooh~" Ron and Harry let out painful moans in unison as the bright light shone on their faces. "Hermione?" Ron shielded his eyes with his hands, and finally saw that the person standing in the room was Hermione—she was still holding an owl. "Hermione, you shouldn't be here, it's a boys' dorm!"

"Merry Christmas, Ron!" Hermione said in a serious and crisp voice, ignoring Ron's complaints. She held down the owl she was holding, "I have your package, it was delivered to the hall at breakfast, and I will bring it for you...... Its claws are so tight. Unlike some, this owl is very insistent on his duties. ”

"Oh my God, stop talking! My whole head was screaming...... For me, but it's not my owl? And my parents' gifts have been placed here, and they went to Egypt. Ron said bitterly, holding his head. The owl was athletic and had a broad wingspan, not at all like his old owl. But the owl did fly away from Hermione's arms and land in front of him when he saw him, stretching out a foot with a long package on it—and then looked at him very arrogantly!

"Praise her a little faster, and give her cookies." Hermione whispered, feeling a little unacceptable to have such a friend.

"Oh, okay." Ron grabbed the package in one hand, and with the other he casually went to the box and grabbed a cookie and handed it to the owl. "Goo~" The owl complained dissatisfied, picked up the biscuit and flew away from the window. "You're really ......" Hermione was speechless, turning to Harry, "get up, the polyjuice decoction is ready, and I've added some lacewings...... Forget it, I don't think you care about the details. ”

"Who's going to mail me something?" Ron said to himself. The package was covered with simple words like "Dear Ron Weasley" and "Your friend, Lu", and nothing was recognizable. He had to take two of the three to unwrap the package, revealing the contents of the package.

"Ah, it's a magic wand, a brand new magic wand!" Ron let out a happy scream, his voice almost audible to the entire Gryffindor!

His magic wand broke in the middle of a flying car, and although it was wrapped in magic tape, it was obviously impossible to fix it! That wand made him a lot of ugliness this half semester, but he didn't dare to tell his family about it at all - not to mention the price of a wand, just reminding his parents of the "flying car incident" was enough for him to drink a good pot!

Finally......

"It's willow wood and unicorn fur, exactly the same as the one I used to use!" Ron's shouting continued. He tried to wave his hand, and the magic flowed through the shaft of the staff, and then erupted at the end of the staff—sparks from the tent blew up the room with the cake he and Harry had eaten last night!

"No, it's better than my original wand!" He looked at his wand and said in surprise.

"Ron... Weasley! At this moment, a voice of gnashing teeth sounded on the side.

"Uh~" Ron turned his head in horror as he saw Hermione, who was furious, and her curls were stained with the cream left over from last night......

Hermione pulled out her wand and pointed hard, "Die!" Ron! ”

……

A big battle started in the dormitory, and the three children giggled and shot harmless magic fireworks at each other, finally swaying away all the pressure accumulated during this period! Even Hermione's polyjuice decoction was behind her.

"Hi~! Ron, what did you receive? When the war was over, Ron's twin brothers, George and Fred, dragged their little sister Ginny and ran in high spirits. Ah, Miss Granger is there, too. Merry Christmas, Miss Granger. Merry Christmas, Harry. ”

The twins said hello to everyone like a rap, and then the three of them stopped their eyes on Ron, making him inexplicable. Of course, as soon as Ginny saw Harry, she shyly hid behind her brothers. So much so that Harry didn't see that Ginny was wearing a new robe now.

"Hurry up, what's your Christmas present? That magical Lu gave. ”

"George and I are the modification drawings that swept through the Seven Stars 5! (Very old-fashioned broomsticks, Quidditch tournament equipment)"

"Yes, that's great!"

"And even better! A large box of miniature machining tools, out of which we could even build a brand new Hogwarts. ”

"And the best of all, if we can follow the drawings and complete this renovation independently......"

The two of them said in unison, "We will win the right to visit and use the magic workshop!" Superb! The two clapped their hands, and finally pushed Ginny to the front, "Our sweet little sister, received a new robe - the others closed their eyes, she wanted Harry to be the first to see." ”

Harry was super embarrassed, and he was very envious of the warm and lively family. Ginny shyly hid her head in her clothes, but thought to herself, "In addition to the clothes, there is actually a check for ten thousand gold Galleons!" Oh, my God...... How do I use it? It's so distressing! I'm far away! ”

However, girls are born with a talent for low-key luxury...... The so-called hatred is better than happiness. Taking money to smash girls, Lao Lu is the best at it.

"Mine is a new wand!" Ron also raised his magic wand and shouted loudly after realizing that this "Lu" had mailed Christmas presents to every Weasley child. As a result, the two brothers ignored him again, turned to look at Harry and Hermione together, and said mysteriously, "What do you suppose he sent to Patsy?" ”

Percy Weasley is one of the few members of the Weasley family who is ambitious but lacks a sense of humor, and is an outlier in the Weasleys. He had excellent grades and was always a serious teacher - so much so that his brothers didn't like him! Percy's dream is to enter the Ministry of Magic and eventually become the Minister of Magic!

"Percy too?" Ron asked curiously.

"Of course, Lu is a good man!" George immediately emphasized that in fact, "Lu" had only mentioned it in his parents' hearts, and they had never met this person. They shook their heads at Harry, and the twins unravel the mystery. "It's an MBA vacation course at a Muggle university! It is said to be worth 2,000 gold Galleons! We don't know why it's so expensive, Miss Granger, you know? ”

Because Hermione and Harry came from Muggle society, they were the only ones who could possibly answer their questions.

As a result, even Miss Know-It-all blushed and shook her head, saying that she hadn't heard of it. But Miss Know-It-All promises that she will send a letter home right away to ask!

I didn't know what an MBA was, but everyone who received the gift was happy – and the most satisfying one was Percy! He looked at the introduction materials on the pamphlet sent with the letter, and his old-fashioned face turned into a flower!

In the end, the Weasley children all said happily, "Lu is such a good person! (To be continued.) )
