Harry Potter’s Natural Villain

What did Lockhart see in this stack of documents?

He saw a list of all the targets he had used the Oblivion spell before, and their current situation, of course, their past experiences of being stolen by him.

He turned faster and faster, and there was a clattering sound between the pages of the book, as if he wanted to use this unconscious action to eliminate the fear in his heart.

His reputation was ruined, and he fell to the altar. Once these black histories broke out, he would turn from a hero admired by thousands of people into a bereaved dog that everyone shouted and beaten. As for the latest heroic deeds, he would naturally not be believed by people, not to mention that this itself is fake.

He turned to the last page tremblingly, and saw a sentence written in pitch-black ink: It's good to do it yourself. His eyes seemed to be sucked in by these words, and a majestic old man's voice was in It sounded in his ears, like a thunderbolt, and some vague memory fragments also pierced into his mind at the same time, setting off waves of madness.

Suddenly, Lockhart, who was sitting on the bed, came back to his senses, carefully thinking about the picture that appeared in his mind just now, and at the same time munching on the words that warned him.

Lockhart remembered the demagogic notebook, saw Dumbledore in the secret room show his might, as if crushing a worm and easily killed the basilisk, saw himself in a coma, and the man who worshipped him. Schoolgirl Hermione and male student Malfoy who gave her whiskey.

Why did he give me the credit? Lockhart thought.

He remembered the abnormal enthusiasm of the reporters just now. For him, who has been through hundreds of battles and has fought countless times with reporters, this incident can be big or small, but the reporters are so abnormal that he smells a The smell of conspiracy.

That's right, that's it. Lockhart had an epiphany and got an explanation that seemed very reasonable to him, and in fact there was indeed part of the reason.

Dumbledore's own reputation has reached its peak. As the greatest white magician in the world who has been famous for a long time and defeated Grindelwald, solving the basilisk will not surprise people at all. The students and teachers will only feel that Rightfully so. Oh, the professor has dealt with a basilisk, and the school is calm again.

But it's different if you replace yourself.

The more Lockhart made up his mind, the more unfathomable Dumbledore felt.

It is also saving the world. If everyone feels that the hero is just doing his best, the gratitude will not be so profound. On the contrary, if the hero has paid a huge price for this, people's reverence will be very enthusiastic.

He is the person who sacrificed a lot for this.

Dumbledore didn't know why he knew my true level, and just used it as an excuse to publicize my achievements, and it gave me a decent excuse to leave school.

Thinking of this, Lockhart was both grateful and in awe of Dumbledore.

As for why Dumbledore had to go to great lengths to arrange this out, Lockhart also thought about it. If he remembered correctly, the little girl named Hermione was a wizard of Muggle blood, and the teachers at the school rescued such a Students, can set off another storm in public opinion, once again challenging those stubborn bloodlineists in the wizarding world.

The peaceful coexistence of wizards and Muggles is not only Dumbledore's proposition, but also what Lockhart has always insisted on. Although the former lives up to its name and is the number one wizard with high morals, the latter deceives the world and steals his name, but it's just a piece of shit. .

Thinking of this, Lockhart has a little more respect for this old man who shares his ideals.

People who have experienced life and death think more, maybe Lockhart suddenly got enlightened, and the analysis part of the process actually coincides with the truth.

However, people will always subconsciously forget their unfavorable memories. Lockhart obviously let go of himself as the initiator, and calmly accepted the official explanation. For himself, he may be the biggest person manipulated by the diary. may have been ignored.

Well, maybe Professor Dumbledore moved more hands and feet in his memory.

In short, the current Lockhart may be moved, but he still has to look at Dumbledore's face and act.

At this moment, he took a step back on the stage and said to the students in the audience: You can ask the principal to answer this question. After all, classmate Ron, you also said that this is just a rumor. Then he gave up his seat. to Dumbledore.

Classmate Ron is well-informed. Dumbledore stroked his long beard and glanced at the audience. The students all showed excited expressions, However. Dumbledore changed the subject and pressed his hands down: You seem to have made a mistake in one thing, some magical creatures are more terrifying than basilisks. Dumbledore The amiable tone from before became serious.

The students then remembered that the basilisk is also one of the magical creatures. Maybe it can guarantee their safety, and the strength of the teacher should not be too weak. The students lowered their heads in disappointment again.

But then Dumbledore sold a pass. He continued: Indeed, your Magical Creatures teacher in the third grade will retire next year. He is older and needs more time to continue to be with his cute little guys. Dumbledore paused After a moment, he helped his glasses that were already a little crooked. So you will welcome a new teacher next semester. It is very likely that you are familiar with it. Please wait with peace of mind.

Hearing this, Ron could only helplessly sit back on the stool.

Harry also made a disappointed look and thumped the table in front of him.

Obviously, the scene of Snape's old bat being beaten will never be seen again in the future. In fact, they still retain some hope. Maybe one day Lockhart will teach and teach, the mana will be restored, and the official recovery will be possible. job. This is also more convenient.

Back to the topic, Lockhart continued to start his heroic deeds report meeting. With what he believed to be Dumbledore's acquiescence, Lockhart did his best to exaggerate, which attracted bursts of applause from the students in the audience. , Hermione stood beside him but only felt irritable and unreasonable disgust.

Under the cheers, there were also some discordant voices, all from the location of Slytherin Academy. Whenever Lockhart talked about the so-called **, there were applause and shouts from other places. , but here came the sound of booing and boos.

Speaking so powerfully, who is the mana lost now? They talked a lot.

What a shame, sacrificing one's own future to save a Mudblood. The voice was a little quieter, but not a lot.

Dumbledore gave Snape a wink, and Snape waved his oversized robes for his students to stop.

There was still a lot of noise at the dinner table. Who doesn't know Snape's preference for this academy? It's too early to get angry with this kind of obstructing. Maybe Snape wants them to do the same in his heart, in order to reward himself for being defeated. shame.

Most Slytherin students think this way.

Pansy sat next to Malfoy and didn't participate in any of the booing just now. She looked at him quietly, fearing that his mood would have some deeper fluctuations, because today's party didn't look very pleasant, the more praised it was. The deeds of a hero, the more pitiful the villain who is trampled under his feet looks.

Enough. Malfoy slapped the table, startling Pansy, and when she thought he was going to run wild, Malfoy said something.

If the trouble continues, the Headmaster will not let Professor Snape remind us again. If we lose, we lose. It's not a good habit to slander others behind our back. All we need to do is to win back next time. The untraceable voice said this sentence, but it happened to be passed into the ears of every Slytherin student. It looks like a new kind of magic.

Despite the defeat, Malfoy's reputation in the academy was unprecedentedly high, and most people chose to follow his arrangements. In comparison, Malfoy's words were more effective than their dean's.

Looking at Lockhart, who was eloquent and eloquent on the stage, Malfoy just sighed.
