Chapter 251: Legacy
"Hmm. Afraid of crushing Lockhart's legs, Hermione leaned down, leaned comfortably against the side of his legs, and narrowed her eyes.
Lockhart looked down from top to bottom, looking at Hermione's peaceful and quiet sleeping position beside him, since she had someone she liked, Hermione didn't care about her image as much as she used to. She has brown wavy hair, which is soft and shiny, dry and silky, with a few strands attached to her face, with long black eyelashes, white and tender face, and inadvertently has a thrilling beauty.
Lockhart's chest was suddenly filled with a sense of trust, followed by a strong desire to protect. At first, he was a little annoyed that Hermione couldn't hide obediently like Pandora, and that she had joined the war in this way, so that Lockhart couldn't move without burden—especially since she let go and ran away when things weren't right.
But sitting quietly and thinking carefully for a while, he suddenly realized that from the moment Dumbledore decided to trade his own death for the safety of Snape and the students, until now, he had not subconsciously had any thoughts of retreating or escaping. Was he infected by a bunch of Gryffindor's Order of the Phoenix and students, or did he become a hero in the wizarding world for a long time and take his legendary self seriously?
I don't have anything to be afraid of, if you want to say that there is, it is death, but in fact, what is so terrible about death, everyone is born to die, and without death, everyone can't live better...... Wait, stop it, Lockhart shook his head, and threw the thought out of his mind - when did he have such a strange view of life and death, it couldn't be that Dumbledore's mental suggestion magic in Guò Castle was poured into him. I wonder if Harry, Neville's parents, and some of the other sacrificial Order of the Phoenix are also afraid of death?
I don't know how, I suddenly didn't feel so afraid of the coming war, but it was a strange turn - Lockhart looked at Hermione who was curled up at his side again. My dear, I will try my best to protect you, but I will never send you to death to protect you, if I die and you live, I don't know how long you will remember me......
He smiled self-deprecatingly, don't be, in this troubled world, maybe who protects whom, let's do their job first, the sky is falling with Moody and Scrimgeoour on top, and if you want to take risks, it will not be your turn and Hermione for the time being.
"Whew-" Lockhart exhaled softly, halting some of his logical confusion and gently stroking Hermione's hair and face with his left hand, then pulled out a pile of Dumbledore's relics, ready to study them carefully.
Dumbledore said that some of the things in the drawer were too late to arrange, and Lockhart didn't know which drawer he was talking about, so he packed everything in Dumbledore's desk into his bag......
A bunch of letters, some small miscellaneous items...... Lockhart suddenly saw a black stone, and he picked it up in surprise and looked at it. That's right, the Resurrection Stone. Dumbledore probably didn't expect the situation to suddenly deteriorate to the point of dying on his own, so the things that should have been left as relics for Harry and the others were not properly placed in his office.
After taking a closer look at the Resurrection Stone, Lockhart found that it also had the symbol of the Deathly Hallows, which made Lockhart feel even more that the legend about the three brothers was fake, that the Grim Reaper did not exist at all, and that the Deathly Hallows might just be made by Harry's ancestors in some way. Making a resurrection stone, then carving the symbol of the Deathly Hallows on it to prove that the Grim Reaper produced it, and then giving it to humans, it doesn't look like a god would do anything, it's like a joke.
Lockhart held the Resurrection Stone in his palm and thought about it, it seemed that there was no dead person he wanted to see, and his closest parents were still alive. Dumbledore?he probably told himself everything he needed to know, and sure enough, after thinking about Dumbledore for a while, he didn't show up. Lockhart carefully put the Resurrection Stone back in the bag, and then picked up something, the ring of Marvolo Gaunt, which had been cut down to a base, still had some protective magic on it, but it was useless, and it was best not to touch it.
A book,There are a lot of letters in it.,I don't want to read it for the time being.,He's a person who knows the general plot.,It is estimated that nothing in the letter can surprise him.,A small notebook.,Open it and take a look.,Recorded in detail the principle of the Horcrux and the method of making it...... Does Dumbledore also want to make Horcruxes, unlikely, presumably to understand this thing more deeply in order to better deal with Voldemort's Horcruxes.
Lights out, Lockhart picked it up and played with it in his hand for a while, turned it on, but nothing happened, this is also normal, there is no light here to extinguish it. But in the original plot, how it got Ron to find Hermione, Lockhart studied it carefully.
Lockhart has permission to enter the Ministry of Magic's ** area, and he spends his free time reading magic books during his holidays, and before he knows it, he is already a knowledgeable wizard, even if he can't figure out how to make the lamp extinguisher, but he can see how it works - there is a magic attached to it, just like the magic that the Death Eaters were able to find the wizard who said the word "Voldemort", the lamp extinguisher can let the owner of it know that someone is calling his name, and at the same time use magic to guide the location of the person whose name is located.
But Dumbledore was a famous wizard in all of Europe, and I don't know how many people would call his name, even Lockhart. To this end, there are also several elaborate spells on the lights out, which seem to make a regulation and division of the person who shouts the name...... To ensure that only the wizard who is close to the person holding the lamp extinguisher will let the owner of the lamp extinguisher know when his name is called.
The best thing about this gadget is that it doesn't need to be infused with magic - it can absorb and save the energy from nearby lights to keep it going, and it can use magic to light up nearby lights at critical moments. This kind of magic that converts electromagnetic energy and magic power between Lockhart has only heard of it, and it is said to be extremely complicated! It seems that it should be a little magic possessed by Dumbledore himself, this is really a practical and magical, priceless magic craft!
Lockhart gently injected some magic along the lines of magic above, and a small ball of light appeared on the head of the lamp extinguisher, I wonder if Pandora will call her name? Alas, but unfortunately she never calls herself by her name, she has always been "professor", "professor", I'm afraid the light extinguisher will not receive her signal. Hermione, on the other hand, enjoyed every opportunity to be called by her first name instead of "Professor".
