Raven's Claw at Hogwarts

Chapter 117
In the Hogwarts kitchen, Mike and Franklin were waiting for Lockhart to arrive.The table in front of them was filled with all kinds of delicate delicacies, and the house elf hanger beside them was still serving them attentively.

I don't know how long it took, until Mike felt a little impatient, the door of the kitchen was finally pushed open.

Lockhart hurried into the kitchen and said with a smile: "Sorry, I was blocked by my fans in Hufflepuff when I passed the door of the Hufflepuff lounge. I was delayed in order to sign for them. Take some time."

Lockhart's smile froze when he saw Franklin, and he looked at Mike suspiciously, as if asking him why there were other people here besides them.

Mike naturally understood what he meant, and said with a blank face: "Franklin is my good friend. He came with me because he was worried about my safety. Don't worry, his mouth is very strict. You don't have to worry that he will take us today. conversation leaked out."

Lockhart struggled for a while, but finally made up his mind and sat down on the chair the house-elf had pulled out for him.The smile on his face remained undiminished, and he said: "You are joking about Mike, of course I believe in Franklin, he is a good boy, I have always thought so."

Franklin heard Lockhart's words and made a covert motion of vomiting.

At this time, the house elf hanger also served Lockhart with a plate, which looked like cheese toast with eggs baked in the oven, watching the look of the hanger cautiously when carrying it , this piece of bread should not be simple.

Lockhart's eyes lit up the moment he saw this dish, he quickly tied a napkin for himself, cut a piece and put it in his mouth.

"Hmm! Welsh rabbit, rare delicacy!" Lockhart said intoxicatedly, "This dish was my favorite dish when I was in Hogwarts. After graduation, I also tasted Welsh rabbit in many places, but none of them tasted like Hogwarts. The food in Gwarts is delicious, and I have to say that Hogwarts' house elves are really good at cooking."

Hanger swayed excitedly after hearing Lockhart's compliment.

"Isn't this the deluxe version of cheese and toast?" Franklin whispered to Mike, "Is it that exaggerated?"

Mike shook his head uncertainly, and didn't reply, he just picked up the juice in front of him and took a sip.

When Lockhart saw that no one responded to him, a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face.But his rich experience of making a fool of himself made him quickly adjust the expression on his face.

"Mike, do you know why I agreed to Professor Dumbledore's invitation to come to Hogwarts to be a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts?"

Seeing that Lockhart was still going around in circles, Mike decided not to save face for him anymore. After thinking about it for a while, Lockhart set the textbook for this year's Defense Against the Dark Arts class as a series of novels written by him, and then he had the answer in his heart.

"Hmm~, I think you may be selling your novels. You know that almost every little wizard in Hogwarts has bought a set of your books, so you should have made a lot of money, right?"

Franklin on the side laughed when he heard Mike's answer.

"Why do you think so? I came to Hogwarts to prepare my new novel!" Lockhart's face darkened, "I know that the Defense Against the Dark Arts class was cursed by the mysterious man, but in When I received the invitation from Dumbledore, I agreed without hesitation, because my desire for inspiration overwhelmed my fear of the You-Know-Who!

And Hogwarts did not disappoint me. After many years, I returned to Hogwarts again. It was like a miracle, and the inspiration continued to explode!

Especially your experience, Mike.Your experience with this year's basilisk incident is almost like the protagonist of one of those novels.So I wanted to do an interview with you about Operation Snake for my new novel. "

After finishing the long speech at once, Lockhart picked up the cup on the table and drank the juice in it. Then, as if he was afraid that Mike would not agree, he continued:

"I decided to use a new perspective for this new book, changing my previous writing style of No.1. This time I will write this book in the third person, Mike, you will be the protagonist of this book !
And I, Gilderoy Lockhart!It will be your Defense Against the Dark Arts professor who will give you full assistance in your confrontation with the basilisk.I plan to name this book "The End of the Millennium Basilisk"! "

After quietly listening to Lockhart's narration, Mike became vigilant. Having read the original book, he knew that Lockhart was a memory thief.

His novels are all about stealing other people's experiences. After deceiving others to tell their miraculous experiences, he will give the other party a note of his improved "forget everything" to make the other party forget their own experiences, and then Loha Te took it as his own.

After thinking about it for a while, Mike decided to boldly try a wave. According to the original book, Lockhart's strength is not strong. Lockhart should not be his opponent when he is vigilant, let alone the surroundings. There's a bunch of house-elves watching.

And if Lockhart is really the heir, then he will make a lot of money this time.

The black prickly pear wand appeared in his hand, and Mike adjusted his sitting posture slightly so that he could use the armor bodyguard to bounce back the possible Oblivion Curse at any time.

"Professor Lockhart, I can agree to your request." Mike smiled, "But at the same time, I have always had a question that I would like to ask you to explain to me."

Lockhart was overjoyed when he saw Mike agreeing, and even claimed yes.

"I've read your autobiographical novels. In those novels, you described yourself as a powerful wizard who is almost omnipotent." Macdon paused, "But judging from my contact with you in the past few months, You don't seem to be as powerful as you write in the book, why is that?"

Lockhart froze when he heard the words, and stammered: "This... I have preserved my strength. If I show my sharpness, I am afraid that I will scare you little wizards."

"Oh? If that's the case, why didn't you stand up and defeat the basilisk when the basilisk was rampant in Hogwarts?" Mike sneered, "And, I heard that you are fighting for Gryffindor In the first class, a cage of Cornish elves was released. As a result, the situation on the scene seemed to be out of control, and you, it seemed, couldn't even handle such a group of elves, and you hid under the table in fear."

Franklin couldn't bear it anymore, and burst out laughing.

The expression on Lockhart's face also changed from blue to purple, and he took a few deep breaths before he said angrily: "This is simply slander! I just wanted to give those students a chance to deal with sudden emergencies independently. The opportunity of the incident! If I make a move, those damned little beasts will all die in an instant!"

Mike looked at Lockhart with a half-smile, with an expression of disbelief in what he said.
