After class the next day, Lockhart honestly handed over 10,000 Galleons to Hermione without daring to play tricks.
The main reason is that Luo's combat prowess is really overwhelming. The most important thing about the Forgetting Curse is to take it by surprise. When the opponent is on guard, if you want to win with it, it is better to go to bed and have everything in your dreams.
This magic itself is not used for fighting, otherwise no one would use spells like Expelliarmus.
Wouldn’t it be nice to all throw forgetting spells at each other? The disarming spell can only knock away the opponent's weapon, but the forgetting spell can directly make the enemy call you daddy after it takes effect.
In fact, it's really not good. When the opponent is prepared, there is no need for defensive spells. Just the magic power in the body can make the forgetting spell ineffective.
Therefore, not only did Lockhart not dare to act like a monster, but he also had to smile when he handed over the purse. This feeling of having his future in someone else's hands was really terrible.
The evidence the girl had could send him to Azkaban at any time.
If the other party didn't have real evidence, Lockhart could still find a way to deny it, but yesterday Hermione directly pulled off his wand.
For a guy like Lockhart who runs around the world, his wand has been recorded in the Ministry of Magic of many countries. That is solid official evidence. In addition, the spellcasting records that can be traced back to the flashback spell are absolutely irrefutable evidence. ..
This also made him extremely haggard when he appeared in the auditorium. His thoughts were wandering around last night, including hiring murderers, kidnapping, and poisoning. Many thoughts of "once and for all" tortured him.
Those "sexy bitches" who were posing and posing did look very attractive, but his reason told him that these were all sinkholes. Apart from anything else, Hogwarts would never sit back and watch students disappear without any reason, not to mention that she was on good terms with the Scamander family.
Any of these actions can send him to Azkaban, and if the victim is an underage witch, he might just get a "once and for all" kiss from the dementor.
So at noon that day, Lockhart, who had dark circles under his eyes, was in sharp contrast to the energetic Professor of Transfiguration next door.
In fact, Aini didn't sleep all night yesterday, and spent half the night digging a hole after saying goodbye to the little witch.
Well, literally, he really dug a big hole. I heard that bungee jumping is very exciting. I hope someone will also have a special feeling when jumping into the hole.
Thinking of his "unique" arrangement, even he couldn't help but tremble slightly.
That picture is so beautiful that I can’t even think about eating now.
Unfortunately, he couldn't get rid of the images that had been squeezed into his mind. Ani took a few bites, then took Jerry out and swept up the rest of the food.
"Paji."
The little mouse sat on the table and patted his round belly, his round face full of satisfaction.
Under Lockhart's listless gaze, Jerry fumbled around for a while, then opened the short hair like a louse and pulled out a larger diary.
Lockhart didn't think there was anything wrong. There were more outrageous things in the wizarding world than this. He had even seen a semen toilet when he was "collecting stories", and even now, the professor would subconsciously do it when he went to the toilet. Scratch the toilet first and make sure the other person is fine before you can sit on it with confidence.
But he had no time to think about anything else now. The longer he was in contact with the Horcrux, the more Lockhart longed for it. When the diary appeared, his circled eyes could no longer accommodate anything else.
Gotta get it, the sooner the better.
Lockhart was already going crazy. Also feeling that he was going crazy was the ghost of little Riddle in the diary.
During this time in Jerry's hands, Tom felt like he was about to burst.
What the hell was he talking about outside? Shouldn't a young wizard of this age be easy to deceive?
[Oh, it’s wrong for them to do this, you should...]
[Oh my god, your talent is amazing, I know a very difficult magic...]
[They can't understand you, I can, no need to pay attention to those mediocre people...]
Riddle thought that he only needed to use some tricks, and he didn't even need the power of confusion in the Horcrux to make the little wizard fall in love with him and regard him as a true friend who could share his secrets.
And when the other person completely opens his heart to him, he will be swallowed up to the bone.
But the guy who started writing and drawing on him again was an absolute weirdo.
Shouldn't a young wizard at this age be able to make friends with his classmates for later use? A cat's hair doesn't have anything to do with you having a ghost!
I just mentioned that I like sweets before, so he rolled up the diary and threw it into the jam bucket. Thank you so much.
And you don’t have to put yourself on the toilet every morning. I said I don’t need to…
[You did the right thing, Jerry, but there is a better way to handle this situation. I know a spell...]
No matter how crazy he was, when the new round of written talks began, Mr. Riddle immediately got into the mood with dedication and tried to steer the topic into a familiar routine.
It's strange. Back then, I had deceived many of my classmates, but those words were of no use to the weirdos outside.
And after being in contact for such a long time, the confusing power of the Horcrux has also had little effect. Could it be that the other party's thinking is inherently distorted, so that it is completely unaffected?
If there wasn't a conscious body nearby that was about to take on his own shape, Tom would have suspected that the power of confusion on the Horcrux had failed.
Lockhart was staring at the diary addictedly when he was suddenly startled out of his trance by a "bang".
Ani smashed the cardboard box on the table, and when he caught the attention of others, he took out a few photos from it.
"puff!"
Lockhart spat out another mouthful of milk. After coughing repeatedly, with milk dripping from his nostrils, he looked surprisingly similar to the photo.
Nonsense, it's weird if the same person in the same situation doesn't look alike.
"Professor Scamander, what are these?"
A certain professor wiped his face in embarrassment and felt golden light rising in front of his eyes.
"A friend bought daily photos of Hogwarts at a high price. I heard that they were used to illustrate his manuscripts, so I wanted to make some extra money."
The corners of Lockhart's eyes twitched crazily. He looked at how many photos you flipped through, but they were all embarrassing photos of himself!
These things in the opponent's hands are not as cruel as the girl's hands, but they can also help him get rid of many fans.
But...for the fans themselves, the more the merrier, right?
And is the friend you are talking about serious? Who would use so many ugly photos in their manuscript? Lockhart glanced at the box. There were probably hundreds of photos inside.
Complaints are complaints, Lockhart is not an unsophisticated person, he is just too purposeful in doing things, and he will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals, and he will not waste any effort on things that he knows will not achieve his goals.
Does he really not know that his behavior is disgusting?
No, those professors had shown their dislike for him on their faces.
It's just that he understands that his destination is not in Hogwarts, and the professors' likes and dislikes are irrelevant. In order to gain fans among students and further his reputation in England, those people will be offended.
Anyway, based on my true level, I can't play with them.
In terms of purpose alone, Lockhart's choice cannot be miscalculated, but his teaching ability is too low-key, and he fell into a big hole when he was expected to be a fan, but in fact he was a fan.
But now, he saw another big pit, but had to bite the bullet and jump in.
