Although the anti-memory modification potion has been refined, Ringo does not plan to expose it in advance, at least for his own use for now.

So.

Ringo wrote back to editor Kathy Grace.

Make an appointment.

And when Grace wrote back, she unsurprisingly mentioned that Lockhart would also arrive one day......

"This thing is eyeing me!"

Sighed.

Ringo began to conceive of Lockhart's role......

……

Two days later, Diagon Alley.

Ringo was transformed into the previous blonde man - originally conjured by the Enlargement Charm and Transfiguration, which was very bloated, but now it is a "Transformation Charm" learned from the basilisk, the effect is similar to the compound decoction, and the body is not bloated.

Naturally, his appearance has also been fine-tuned.

Although Grace will definitely be surprised when she meets.

But it's also easy to shirk.

It can be said that after becoming popular, after becoming rich, he began to pay attention to life and maintenance - after all, Grace has only seen herself so many times.

Soon.

Ringo's figure stopped at the door of the office of the Rumihart Book Company.

Nowadays, the major shops in Diagon Alley.

Basically, they were all damaged by the two-fold magic shop.

In the past, there were billboards, but they were basically simple, but now, all of them have become light pollution.

Take this office, for example.

The last time Ringo came here, it was still remote and uninhabited, and there were no propaganda slogans other than the sign on it.

And now.

On either side of the door stood two figures, one was Lockhart, holding his latest book, and the other was a dark shadow, holding Dumbledore in Love with Me.

"What a change......," Ringo smiled, and walked in—it was more spacious inside, originally only Grace had been left behind, but now it had been replaced by another young witch.

The witch was stunned when she saw Ringo.

Subconsciously asked, "Excuse me, are you a Mary Sue woman...... Uh, sir? ”

This time it was Ringo's turn to be surprised: "It's me, how do you recognize me at a glance?" Also, are you the new receptionist? ”

"Yes, I'm the new receptionist, and the original Ms. Grace has been promoted to senior editor...... As for how to recognize Mr. at a glance, ahem, it's because Ms. Grace has described your appearance to us more than once, and today is your agreed meeting day......" The witch stood up as she spoke, looking like she wanted to lead Ringo over, but after getting close to Ringo, she was still quite embarrassed to say, "It's just that I didn't expect Mr. to change so much, Ms. Grace said that you are a little ...... Slightly chubby, but now it's ......"

"It means that my life has changed for the better." Ringo responded with an excuse he had already thought of, smiling at the witch by the way, making the witch dizzy.

- Handsome, of course.

Compared to the original combination of Enlargement Spell + Transfiguration.

Transformation spells are more convenient.

But at the same time, it's a bit troublesome - it can't change out of thin air, it can only be said to become a known image in the mind.

So although Ringo is roughly the same as before, in fact, the essence is to become a person who really existed in the previous life but is difficult to say in this life.

– David Bowin.

A British rock singer, actor, and also the prototype of the online transmission of Kira Yoshikage in the well-known manga Jojo.

After all, if you want to fight Lockhart, it's not easy to publicize if it's too ugly.

"Ms. Grace is inside, Mr. Sue...... Uh, please come in. After the witch ushered Ringo into the room, she eventually fled.

No way.

In front of a handsome guy, the pressure is too much.

And not only her.

Even Casey Grace, who had been waiting inside for a long time, was stunned for a moment when she saw Ringo who suddenly came in, and asked suspiciously for a long time: "Mary Sue?" ”

"It's me, what's the matter, it's changed so much that I can't recognize it?" Ringo showed her a little bit of himself, "Now that I'm going to become a celebrity, I can't be as sloppy as before, so I've been working out and maintaining it for the past six months, how about it?" ”

"Yes, yes!" Grace sighed, "It's really good, I thought that although you can definitely be popular, you can't reach the heights of Lockhart, and now I think I have to regret it, you can definitely surpass him - by the way, he just came to the news, saying that he is going to have a private chat with you about resource allocation." ”

"Shouldn't your company decide on promotional resources?"

"Theoretically it should be, but in practice...... You know, great authors like you and Lockhart, we have to respect some of the opinions. ”

"Okay, I'll talk to him then, let's talk about the new book contract now, well, this is a sample book."

Ringo handed over the manuscript.

And Grace also handed over the contract: "This is a new contract, and compared to the previous one, it has increased the share by 5%. ”

"Lockhart's contract?" Ringo raised an eyebrow.

Although the previous contract was also very high, it was still a little lower than Lockhart, and now it is just completely flat.

"Yes." Grace pouted, "This is already the biggest contract I can get for you." ”

Ringo looked slowly: "Whatever, I don't care, anyway, I only publish the copyright." ”

"What?"

"Grace, how are you doing with this company?" Ringo suddenly changed his words, "Do you want to change jobs?" ”

Grace's eyes widened, not understanding why Ringo had suddenly jumped on the subject.

Fortunately, there were only the two of them in this room.

So I'm not afraid of others eavesdropping on the past.

So she hesitated and asked, "What do you mean?" Aren't you going to sign us up for this book? ”

"Sign up."

"That ......"

"But there is only this one, as for the next one, I am going to partner with others to start a company, but coincidentally, there is a lack of an editor-in-chief." Ringo looked at Grace, "Would you like to come?" Or are you interested in coming? ”

"This ......"

Grace suddenly became confused.

Frankly.

She is very satisfied with her current position in Rumy Hart Books, but I have to say that her current position is entirely because of Ringo, and if Ringo no longer publishes books, then her status will come to an end......

You can jump to a new company, although you are the editor-in-chief, but there is undoubtedly a lot of risk.

But it can get to where it is today.

Grace herself is also capable, so after thinking for a while, she said: "Mary, I should theoretically promise you right away in exchange for your absolute trust, but it must be difficult, as an adult, you don't want to make promises without thinking about anything, and you don't want your future editor-in-chief to be such a person, so ......"

She looked directly at Ringo: "Mr. Su, can you tell us about the advantages of your new company?" Rest assured, we can sign a non-disclosure agreement. ”

- She even changed her title to a formal one.

on this.

Ringo was satisfied, as he said, the editor-in-chief, as the head of a book company, could not be a reckless man, so he said directly: "You don't have to sign a non-disclosure agreement, Casey, I trust you." ”

"As for strengths, are my books considered advantages? You know how creative I am. ”

"Definitely." Grace nodded.

"Besides, if I tell you that the person I'm working with is Ringo Shelby, does that count as an advantage?"

Grace was taken aback: "Shelby? Yes, is that Shelby I know? ”

"There should be only one Shelby in the wizarding world." Ringo pointed through the window in the direction of the twofold potion shop, "That's right, it's him." ”

"I'm willing to join!" Grace immediately said, "Do I resign now?" ”

"No...... Not so fast. ”

Ringo was still smiling.

But I couldn't help but complain in my heart - if Mary Sue and Ringo Shelby weren't the same person, I guess I'd be bleak now, right? Hearing my tug, he didn't say yes, and as a result, he decided to join just by hearing Shelby's name......

All right.

It's actually pretty cool.

Ringo pressed the smugness in his heart, waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, Grace, you continue to work here, well, it's best to start learning more about the operation of the company, saying that it is the editor-in-chief, but you will definitely be responsible for a lot of things in the company you just opened." ”

"Use me to dig up some authors?" Grace couldn't help but take on the role.

"No, we don't lack authors, and books are just the foundation, we have other livelihoods, and it's also the third advantage I'm going to tell you......"

"What is it?"

"Movies, to be exact, film adaptations."

Grace looked dazed: "What is this?" ”

"It's unclear to say yes." Ringo smiled, "You'd better take the time to go to the Muggle world and find someone to watch a movie in the cinema, and you'll know." ”

"I'll go and see it." Grace nodded solemnly, with the posture of carrying out the boss's orders for the first time.

"Very good, then let's sign a contract, and then I'll go talk to Lockhart about publicity resources."

After Ringo was sure that there were no pitfalls in the contract.

Sign your name on it – Mary Sue.

Then she left Grace to continue reading her new book, and after asking clearly, she went downstairs and went straight to the Leaky Cauldron.

And after asking Old Tom.

Ushered into a private room.

- Before that, he drank an anti-mnestic potion.

Gilderoy Lockhart was sitting in it, stinkily looking in the mirror and drawing.

Katsa –

See Ringo come in.

The middle-aged wizard immediately showed his trademark smile and walked over with open arms: "Oh, you must be Mary Sue, the author of "Dumbledore Fell in Love with Me", right?" It's nice to meet you, well, you must know who I am, right? That's right, I'm Gilderoy Lockhart, a third-class Medal of Merlin, an honorary member of the League Against the Dark Arts, and a five-time winner of Wizarding Weekly's Most Charming Smile Award......."

"Hello."

Ringo took a step back coldly, dodging his embrace: "I don't know what happened to Mr. Lockhart calling me over?" ”

"It's nothing, it's just a simple acquaintance." Lockhart saw that Ringo rejected him so much, and a trace of unnaturalness flashed in his eyes, but he quickly covered it up, and he motioned for Ringo to sit opposite him, and said, "After all, we are all well-known writers in the same company......"

"So there is a need to compete for propaganda resources? Instead of dividing it equally according to the company's will? Ringo's eyebrows furrowed, "Mr. Lockhart wants a big head?" ”

"No, no, no!"

Lockhart shook his head directly: "Don't worry, I don't want to be big, I will even choose to withdraw voluntarily and let the company give you all the publicity resources this time." ”

As soon as these words came out.

Ringo's heart suddenly became vigilant - this is not Lockhart!

Sure enough.

In the next moment, Lockhart said: "It's just me who is the senior taking care of you, the junior, after all, I have heard of your level, not only have a lot of creativity, but also know a lot of well-known wizards when they were young, alas, it's not easy, can you tell me about it?" In return, I can tell you about my past and my experience writing books. ”

"This ......" Ringo seemed to see that the other party was so enthusiastic, the coldness on his face gradually subsided, and he became embarrassed, but he was still a little vigilant.

"It's okay, I'll say it first, you should be curious too, right?"

"Yes, you're a well-known writer, and I'm curious how you write that interesting content......" Ringo continued.

Seeing Ringo so up.

Lockhart also immediately began his daily flickering.

He is a very high level, and it is easy to get closer to the person he wants to get closer to through words, and Ringo probably guessed his purpose, and was happy to perform, gradually showing more and more intimacy with him, and under his intentional or unintentional inquiry.

not only told more "details" of well-known wizards, but also told all the ideas he wanted to write in the future.

So.

Little by little, time passed.

Two hours later.

Ringo looked at his watch and said, "Mr. Lockhart, it's time for me to go back, it's a pleasure to meet you today, if you have a chance, we can get in touch a little more in the future......"

"Of course, in fact, I've decided that I'll make you my teaching assistant when I take office." Lockhart smiled and said, "You know, my application to teach at Hogwarts is nearing completion, and the results will be coming soon. ”

"I'm so honored."

Ringo was delighted, and after a few pleasantries, he walked out.

It's just that I just got to the door.

was stopped by Lockhart again: "By the way, Ringo, I'll give you another gift." ”

"What gift?"

Ringo turned his head and saw Lockhart holding his wand in his hand, smiling brightly at himself: "-"Forget it all."

Call!

A powerful spell struck Ringo directly.

The next moment.

Lockhart laughed, "Oh, poor Mary Sue, how's it going? Isn't my gift a good one? Tut-tut...... You don't really think I'm going to give you all the promotional resources, do you? Yes, it's all for you, but it's for your ideas, and now your ideas, well, are mine......"

The words did not fall.

He suddenly saw a smile on the corner of Ringo's mouth on the other side: "Are you so sure?" ”

"You ......," Lockhart startled, "why aren't you affected?" ”

said.

He raised his wand again: "—"Forget it all."

Ringo tilted his head: "Have you not eaten, Mr. Lockhart?" Why are spells so boring? Or do you not know the spell? Or I'll teach you. ”

"What?" Lockhart was stunned.

Unfortunately, Ringo didn't give him a chance to solve his doubts, so he raised his wand.

- "Forget it all"

Call!

Lockhart froze......
