Hogwarts: From Luna's family to god

"Who used the softening spell just now? I just got a spell on my knee. Did you cast it?"

...

Just when Vizet was about to step out of the door, Lockhart's voice came from behind him, "Mr. Lovegood, I have something to tell you."

Chris muttered beside him, "It doesn't feel good..."

Vizet sighed helplessly, turned around and asked, "Professor Lockhart, what can I do for you?"

Lockhart glanced at his roommate standing next to Vizet, coughed lightly and said, "Classmates, I hope to talk to Mr. Lovegood alone."

"But we also have questions to ask." Michael said first, "I remember you also graduated from Ravenclaw, you must be able to understand this feeling, right?"

"Aha! Of course I understand..." Having said that, Lockhart naturally couldn't refuse, "I am the third-class medal winner of the Order of Merlin! Ask!"

After that, he smiled again, as if he had received some kind of training or torture, so that he could show eight teeth like a conditioned reflex.

Terry asked first: "You are a powerful wizard who can travel with werewolves, why can't you deal with those elves?"

"You only see the surface, but don't look into the deep meaning..." Lockhart showed a painful expression, sighed and shook his head repeatedly.

"I must point out that the chaos that happened today does not mean that my magic is missing, but it is caused by you."

Terry pointed at himself, his face full of surprise, "We caused it?"

"You only know that the elves are from Cornwall, but you don't know their special abilities." Lockhart looked distressed.

"You know... I call them monsters! Do you think... those elves are a simple magical animal?"

"They use ridicule as food... You should know Divna Fermagi? That's a poor witch..."

"Divna Fermagi?" Michael and the others shook their heads and looked at Vizette together.

Feeling his roommate's gaze, Vizet confirmed again: "Divna Formage? A witch?"

"Yes! A witch who lived in the 17th century..." Lockhart nodded, "Do you know her story?"

Vizet said: "Divna Formage was kidnapped by five local elves while on vacation in Cornwall."

"After she was rescued by the Aurors, she would apply to the Ministry of Magic every year, hoping to eliminate all the elves."

"What a learned child..." Lockhart showed a satisfied expression on his face, "No wonder Professor Flitwick and others... like you so much!"

This is also the reason why he took the initiative to come and want to deal with Vizet.

As a prestigious and popular wizard, he can also learn a lot of things through his own channels, and he also wants to use his fame to climb up.

It is for this reason that he accepted Dumbledore's invitation to become the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts.

Harry Potter is a big name, and is a household name in the English wizarding world;

Being Harry Potter's professor can definitely add a lot of color to your resume.

Lockhart's next goal was to establish a good relationship with Vizet Lovegood;

Through a conversation with Clothar Bagshot, the owner of Flourish and Blotts, he knew that Vizet had a close relationship with Bagshot;

When Bagshot was chatting with him, he also mentioned the gift that Vizet had sent;

Lockhart had seen that gift before, it was just an ordinary magic sculpture that would only change color over time;

It was incredible that Bagshot could smile... In Lockhart's opinion;

During the preparation period for the book signing, Lockhart rented a room in the Leaky Cauldron and saw another thing he cared about -

Vizet went in and out of Ollivander's Wand Shop, so he must have a deep relationship with the Ollivander family;

So Lockhart began to think that if he could get through Vizet and establish a real connection with the two families, he would definitely have a wider network of contacts;

Just like the book "The Quibbler", which always appeared in the front row of Flourish and Blotts, it was inseparable from Vizet.

As for how to establish friendly relations, he learned extremely important information from professors such as Flitwick.

Wizzette Lovegood is a pure Ravenclaw, with an overflowing curiosity about knowledge, and he can fully use this to achieve his goals.

After all, there are many adventures hidden in his head, which are his capital, and he believes that he can definitely attract the attention of Wizzette Lovegood.

Lockhart still remembers his dream - to become the youngest Minister of Magic in England. If he can make a difference in Hogwarts, maybe he really has a chance to realize his dream!

Since Cornelius Fudge can become the Minister of Magic, why can't he give it a try?

He is more handsome than Cornelius Fudge, so he should have more advantages!

Unconsciously, he recalled the experience when the Sorting Hat almost sorted him into Slytherin during the Sorting.

At that time, he still felt that his talent was so outstanding, and he was an out-and-out genius with powerful magic. Of course, Ravenclaw was more suitable for him.

However, when he entered the academy, he found that he was surprisingly ordinary and failed to impress other students.

Perhaps if he went to Slytherin, he could use the special characteristics of this academy to realize his dream earlier.

Unfortunately, there is no such thing as if, he finally graduated from Ravenclaw;

If it were not for his later twists and turns, he would not be able to achieve his current achievements...

"Ouch..." The roommates heard Lockhart's words and screamed with a joking meaning.

"Let's get back to the topic!" Lockhart came back to his senses, clapped his hands and asked, "Just five elves are enough to kidnap poor Divna Formage! Do you know why?"

"Because elves feed on ridicule, Divna Formage ridiculed those elves, so the elves became powerful! Enough to subdue adult witches!"

Terry understood, "So what you want to say is...we ridiculed the elves, so they became so difficult to deal with?"

Chapter 84 Such a forget spell?

Lockhart reached out to the podium and picked up a book with a green cover, "Gilderoy Lockhart Teaches You How to Get Rid of Pests at Home".

"Of course! Don't despise those dark magic creatures! Even if they are as weak as Flobberworms! Haven't you ever encountered Flobberworms?"

"They live in damp ditches. How many wizards have to seek help from professional magic cleaning companies every year because they are unable to clean them?"

"Why do you think I published this book? Because of this book, how much cleaning costs have your mother saved every year?"

Terry and the others looked at each other, and were actually a little scared, thinking that there was some truth in what he said.

Anthony crossed his arms, still with a look of doubt on his face, "But you still haven't explained why you can't deal with the elves."

Lockhart explained: "Because of your ridicule, they accumulated strength in their bodies and resisted my magic, it's that simple."

"Think about it! Students from both colleges are laughing, how powerful can they get?"

"Later, the ridicule turned into panic, and they couldn't continue to absorb power, so they became easier to deal with."

He looked at Vizet and patted Vizet's shoulder in appreciation, "Time is really too rushed, I forgot to give you extra points just now!"

"Just like Professor Flitwick said, your performance is excellent! I will add... 50 points to Ravenclaw!"

Such a generous extra point made Anthony and others a little shaken, and suddenly felt that Lockhart in front of them seemed... not so untrustworthy.

Lockhart noticed their expressions, raised his eyebrows and smiled again, "In that case... I'll show you how I deal with the elf!"

He led everyone back to the classroom, groped for the location of the bolt of the big iron cage, and warned solemnly: "Laughing is their power! Never underestimate them!"

Seeing Lockhart's expression, Anthony and the others nodded, and their faces subconsciously became solemn.

Lockhart pulled the bolt open, quickly reached in, just pinched out an elf, and quickly closed the bolt.

The whole process was smooth, and from this action, you can vaguely see the style of the book.

"I can subdue it with just a simple spell..." Lockhart picked up the wand and put the tip of the wand against the elf's head.

"Oblivion!"

The elf, who was still struggling, calmed down and collapsed in Lockhart's hands, like a piece of plasticine.

"It...can't do anything?" Anthony and the others looked at each other in dismay, and carefully reached out to touch the elf.

The elf still had no reaction, only the slight movement of its body showed that it was still alive.

"Do you think it's an elf now? In fact, it's a loyal dog!" Lockhart pressed the tip of the wand against the elf again, "Obligate!"

The elf responded, running stiffly to Lockhart on all fours with its tongue sticking out.

It even made a sharp barking sound, just like a puppy.

"Or a crow loyal to me!" Lockhart cast the spell again, "Obligate!"

The elf suddenly flew up, using its slender arms instead of wings, and its all-black eyes were sharp.

It waved its arms in the air, made a soaring motion stiffly, and made a "cawing" sound like a crow...

"How is it?" Lockhart raised his eyebrows high, looking very proud, "It is now a crow loyal to me."

"You have all seen how great my magic can be once it is perfectly performed! But we must admit that there are always uncontrollable factors."

"Do you remember my book "Wandering with Werewolves"? When the werewolves encountered the forest monsters, how did I help the werewolves break through?"

Anthony and the others looked at Vizette.

Vizet said: "You caused the trolls to fight among themselves, thus creating a gap, and then followed the werewolf wizard and escaped from the trolls' encirclement. In other words... it was a forgetfulness spell?"

Anthony asked curiously: "Doesn't the book say that this is a forgetfulness spell?"

Without waiting for Vizet to answer, Lockhart immediately said: "The point of the problem is not this... but the use of magic!"

"When to use what magic is very important! Not only should we pay attention to every kind of dark magic creature, but also to every magic!"
