Chapter 80: The Anti-Black Arts Alliance (Part II)
Getting to know the great writer Gilderoy Lockhart was one of the biggest achievements of Luo Cheng's participation in the European delegation.
Of course, Luo Cheng knows the details of Gilderoy Lockhart, a fame seeker in the plot who is good at forgetting spells. But after the actual contact, Luo Cheng couldn't help but feel that there was no vanity under the fame.
Gilderoy Lockhart's assortment as a third-class Merlin Medalist, an honorary member of the Anti-Dark Arts League, and a five-time winner of the Wizarding Weekly's Most Charming Smile Award are enough to prove that this man is not easy.
As a wizard, Gilderoy Lockhart is really lame and does nothing more than have an oblivion spell at all. But Lockhart took the spell to a new level.
The wizards who travel the world to destroy dangerous and dark creatures are all experienced wizards with powerful powers, and many of these wizards are withdrawn and strange people, like Mad-Eye Moody. But Lockhart always had a way of finding them, mingling with the wizards and gaining trust, and then deriving detailed stories of adventures from their mouths. After using the Oblivion Charm to erase the memories of the wizards, Lockhart used popular writing techniques to polish and publish the adventures of others.
And Lockhart is also very good at media hype and character operation, and he never hesitates to sign and reply to fans, so he can definitely be regarded as a conscientious and diligent high-quality idol.
These are enough to prove that Lockhart is definitely a character of Double Business Online, and it is definitely not as simple as in the original plot.
For example, when Lockhart learned that Luo Cheng had become the director of the Ministry of Magic at a young age and was also a Hogwarts teacher, Lockhart immediately became very interested.
Under Lockhart's music, Luo Cheng felt relaxed and happy, and he could be regarded as understanding the language art of wizards. If Voldemort was as talkative as Lockhart, why did he have to engage Death Eaters in a reign of terror? Running directly for the Minister of Magic is over.
However, Luo Cheng finally knew how Dumbledore found Lockhart as a Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher in the original book, because the quota for this European expedition was originally given to Hogwarts by the Ministry of Magic, and it was originally determined that Dumbledore would have gone. But now that Hogwarts has Fudge's "own person" Luo Cheng, that place was naturally given to Luo Cheng. And where did Lockhart get his spot? That's right, it's from the semi-official organization of the Anti-Black Arts League.
Lockhart and Luo Cheng strongly hinted that they also had dreams of teaching and educating people, and wanted to teach young wizards a little bit of their own life experience. And Luo Cheng was also very interested in the semi-official organization of the Anti-Black Arts Alliance, so the two hit it off and reached a deal.
Of course, it is inconvenient to tell the Weasleys about such a private matter.
Just as Mrs. Weasley was happy and worried, there was a slamming of the door.
"It's back!" George said, "It's Daddy's back!"
Mr. Weasley slumped in the kitchen chair, his glasses off, his eyes closed, and he looked dusty.
"What a choking night! Oh, hello, Luo Cheng, hello, Harry. ”
He grunted, reaching for the teapot.
"Nine houses have been searched, and this old fellow Mundungus Fletch is still trying to use magic on me when I turn around......"
Mr. Weasley took a long sip of tea and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Did you find anything, Daddy?" Fred asked eagerly.
"Just a few shrunken house keys and a biting kettle."
Mr. Weasley yawned and said, "There's some troublesome stuff that isn't in my department." Some very strange ferrets were found at Motlek's house, and he was taken in for questioning, but that was the Charms Experiment Committee, thank goodness. Plus, we've found something strange in Malfoy Manor, and this time it's sure to make Lucius's bastard walk around without eating! But those things weren't under my department's control, but now they're being taken over by the Auror office......"
