Chapter 214: Contradictions Erupt
(This chapter is free, as the Fantasy Week recommendation list has advanced to fifth.) By the way, I continue to ask for recommendation votes...... Since it's free, I'll talk to readers about my thoughts, and you can also talk about your opinions and suggestions in the top post of the book review.
In the original book, one of Voldemort's biggest mistakes was that he did not choose to join the Ministry of Magic but set up his own portal, and the biggest impact is reflected in this book - the protagonist is an "official" on the side, and Voldemort is a "thief" on the side, and the resources that can be mobilized by both sides are not at all in the same order of magnitude, and the small cooperation between the Order of the Phoenix and the Auror Department can force them to retreat, with almost no resistance, and Voldemort as the strongest dark wizard does not even dare to take it lightly.
In the original book, Voldemort's ultimatum was supposed to overthrow the Ministry of Magic, which was the right thing to do. But to be honest, the part of the Deathly Hallows was written in a hurryβin a vague way, the Ministry of Magic was overthrown, in a vague way, three children started an adventure on their own, destroyed all the Horcruxes in a single book, and finally defeated the Great Demon King (β so much children's literature).
There is no doubt that Voldemort is not stupid, even in this book he must gather strength to prepare for a sudden violent counterattack by the authorities, the original work does not mention at all what the Order of the Phoenix is doing during this period, and what the other wizarding forces that are rebelling against the Death Eaters are doing, there is a lot of room for play, and it is easy to write brilliantly and excitingly.
It's a pity that the author's major in college is physics, and his literary literacy is not high, so he can't write wildly if he is limited to pen power. But it is also easy for science students to write their own style like Liu Cixin's magnum opus "The Three-Body Problem...... I wrote this book just out of interest at first, because the game was really boring to play and cost money. Signing a contract with an editor is just a covetousness of the homepage recommendation provided to me by the www.biquge.info of Pen Fun Pavilion...... But since it's on the shelves, I'll try to write it carefully, and strive to live up to the readers who continue to chase the book, but to ensure the quality, a certain number of manuscripts are necessary, and you can't add any code words like in the early stage, please forgive me.
Finally, I want to say to readers,Don't read books like reading cool texts.,If you have any ideas, please put them forward in the top post in the book review area.,The author still likes to communicate with people.,Anything other than the setting is negotiable.γ οΌ
Lockhart returned to Hogwarts, ready to find a place to practice the practice method he had just acquired, but he couldn't imagine that after only half a day of leaving, something would happen again - it seemed that Pandora and Hermione had quarreled, maybe it was a fight?
Lockhart immediately followed the student to the door of the Gryffindor common room, where Peeves was screaming excitedly, and Lockhart impatiently waved his wand away. As soon as he appeared, Pandora immediately hugged him crying, saying that Harry and Ron were attacking her.
Lockhart turned his head to see that Harry and Ron were both holding wands, and there was still suspicion. Well, I'm so serious about teaching you how to defend yourself, and you little are going to use it to beat my girlfriend?" Lockhart grabbed Harry and Ron and dragged them into a corner.
"Professor, we don't!" Ron yelled.
Harry also quickly explained, "Give us ten dares, and we won't dare attack the professor's girlfriend." β
"What's going on?" Lockhart didn't particularly impulsively ask, suppressing his anger, "Do you have a wand to show Pandora a trick?"
"It was she who was going to cast a curse on Hermione that sent her wand flying!" Harry screamed.
"Where's Hermione?"
She was so angry that she ran back to the lounge. β
Lockhart thought about it and knew that what Harry said should be true, Pandora is usually so gentle and considerate, and he would even kill in anger and attack his rival with magic? Lockhart smiled bitterly, but even if it was just a disarming spell, Harry did attack Pandora, and it looked like he still had to do it.
"When you see a classmate violating the rules, what you have to do is report to the professor, not follow the violation, understand?"
"Got it, got it!" said Harry, nodding hurriedly.
"Go back to your break room!"
Lockhart returns to the scene and quickly leaves with Pandora in his arms.
"Honey, I've already taught them a lesson for you, don't cry. β
"Granger, she's scolding me!" Pandora continued to complain, "Mudbloods are mudbloods, and they are not educated at all!"
"Well, she's Muggle-born after all, so don't be like her. Lockhart hurriedly responded, "But it's too rude for you to run over and scold her like this, you go back first, I will go back to have a showdown with her right now, and I promise that she won't dare to scold you in the future, and you don't have to meet her in general, otherwise if it goes on like this, this matter will be full of storms in the city, okay?"
"Okay, you have to make it clear to her!"
ββ
After seeing Pandora off, Lockhart returned to the door of the Gryffindor common room, and with the help of the onlookers Gryffindor students, he unlocked the spell and entered it, Hermione was sitting on the couch crying, and Harry and Ron sat on either side to comfort her.
Seeing Lockhart coming, Harry quickly shifted his ass to make way for him. Lockhart sat down and reached out to take Hermione in his arms.
"Professor, I'm sorry I always cause you trouble......" Hermione was still haunted by the poisoning incident before, "I don't want to...... Woohoo......"
"Honey, I don't blame you, just remember not to be too pushy in the future," Lockhart stroked her thick brown hair, "What's going on today?"
"I'm staying here, and Fudge came over and scolded me for being a mudblood......" Hermione was even more aggrieved, burying her head in Lockhart's arms.
Both girls said that the other party provoked first, but in fact, it didn't matter who told the truth...... After all, no matter who made the first move, Lockhart couldn't blame her with a straight face, so he could only persuade her with good words.
"Professor, who the hell do you like!" Seeing Lockhart and Hermione talking to each other, Ron finally broke out. "We all respect you, but Hermione is our friend, and we can't watch her being bullied!" Hermione immediately pricked up her ears as soon as the question came up, even though she buried her head in Lockhart's arms.
"Of course I like Hermione!" Lockhart said in a righteous and impassioned manner, "but Pandora is my girlfriend, she doesn't do anything to be sorry for me, and I still have feelings for her...... Alas, you two children don't have to worry about this!"
The two boys stopped talking, and Hermione was overjoyed, but she still buried her head in Lockhart's arms, smelling his manly breath, and for a moment she was a little carried away by happiness......
"Hermione, if you two continue to quarrel like this," Lockhart whispered to Hermione, "I'm going to have a hard time, and if it's exposed, I won't be able to get along in the wizarding world...... Do you understand. β
"I understand, ......Professor," Hermione whispered, sobbing slightly, "I promise not to provoke Fudge, even if she scolds me, I'll put up with it." β
Such a strong little girl promised Lockhart to swallow his anger in case of trouble, he was both distressed and moved: "Little sweetheart, we are both members of the Order of the Phoenix, and we have many opportunities to get along, I will quietly compensate you in the future, okay?"
"Hmmm......"

After the "showdown" with Hermione, Lockhart felt that the big thing could be put aside a little, and in the weeks that followed, he moved more carefully between the two girls, and began to try to improve his "magic affinity", and the powerful spell had to go to the library to rummage. In fact, wizards throughout the West are accustomed to using fast and less powerful spells, and this is not just due to cultural differences, such as the Chinese hermit wizard's fighting style, although powerful and powerful, is based on the same foundation - the old Taoist priest must be able to resist Dumbledore's stormy wave of fast attacks first.
It is quite difficult for top wizards to defeat each other, so after reaching a certain level, whether it is Dumbledore, Voldemort, or even characters such as Moody and Scrimgeur, they will choose to learn a few powerful spells. But ordinary wizards - they are too fragile to be knocked down by a simple instantaneous spell, and because of this, the entire European wizarding world has abandoned powerful spells in favor of fast and swift combat. And the Chinese sorcerers who insisted on the powerful spell found a way to increase the affinity of the magic.
Learning powerful spells takes time, but it's easy to keep the mana in your body flowing constantly......
There is no doubt that this method is effective, although the effect is minimal, but to the realm of Lockhart, the magic power that can be driven is a little bit more, which is quite a significant change, although it is too late to start cultivating now and the disciples of those Chinese wizards, but the magic affinity of this thing, it is impossible to say that you can practice very high if you start exercising early, and human beings, as creatures with low magic affinity, must be limited in the scope of what they can improve in this regard.
To be sure, in terms of wizarding blood, European wizards are better than all the rest of the world simply by luck: the International Wizarding Secrecy Act is not the result of wizarding by birth, but rather the result of a conflict between wizards and Muggles. Although the theory of pure-blood superiority of wizards has long been proposed, there are still some wizards who consider themselves to be Muggles with special abilities, who are among Muggles and form families with Muggles.
And the witch hunt launched by the Muggle Holy See against wizards in the Middle Ages went on vigorously for a long time. This made these wizards realize that even if they didn't want to admit it, they were a little different from Muggles. The witch hunt forced the wizarding council from a loose group to a tight-knit society, and also contributed to the original "Secrecy Law", and the entire wizarding community began to hide underground and no longer meet Muggles in public.
Interestingly, in addition to killing some wizards who were caught off guard at the beginning, the hundreds of thousands of "wizards" who were executed were actually Muggles who were framed. The most ironic thing is that there is a witch whose name Lockhart does not remember, because she enjoys the feeling of being burned, and constantly changes her appearance and is deliberately caught - you know, a powerful wizard, even without a wand, can not be burned to death by mortal fire. The movement had eventually evolved into a despicable way for some Muggles to rid themselves of enemy heresy, and European wizards had inadvertently become the biggest beneficiaries - after being virtually isolated from Muggle society, the purity of European wizarding blood began to be assured, and the Ministries of Magic were formed, and wizards began to understand the importance of mastering Muggle power and began to try to infiltrate.
In contrast to European wizards, wizards in some parts of the East realized very late that they could not marry Muggles without restrictions, and that they were at a disadvantage in their bloodline. But it was a blessing in disguise, probably because they started learning spells at a very young age, and at the same time, their mana value was so low that they had to use some long-cast charge spells in order to use spells. But this also makes them have a higher magical affinity than Western wizards - Western wizards began to learn magic at the age of eleven, and began to learn instantaneous spells, although safer and easier, but never developed the human body's magical affinity.
Now, Lockhart was originally a wizard who was not weak, and as probably the first Western wizard to know this secret, he was quite a bit ahead of others in combat power before the large-scale contact and exchange between Eastern and Western wizards. (To be continued.) )
