Fantastic Creatures Trainer at Hogwarts
'178' Lockhart, use the forgetting spell I taught you
Although the anti-memory modification potion has been refined, Ringo does not intend to expose it in advance. At least for now, he will use it for his own use.
in this way.
Ringo then wrote back to editor Kathy Grace.
Appoint a time.
When Grace wrote back again, it was no surprise that she mentioned that Lockhart would also arrive on the same day...
"This guy is targeting me!"
Feeling emotional.
Ringo began to envision the role of Lockhart...
…
Two days later, Diagon Alley.
Ringo transformed into the blond man he was before - he was originally a bloated man who used the Enlargement Charm and Transfiguration, but now he used the "Transformation Charm" he learned from the Basilisk, which has an effect similar to Polyjuice Potion.
The body will no longer be bloated.
Naturally, the appearance has also been slightly adjusted.
Although Grace will definitely be surprised after meeting her.
But it’s easy to shirk.
It can be said that after becoming popular and having money, she began to pay attention to life and maintenance - after all, Grace had only seen herself a few times.
soon.
Ringo's figure stopped at the door of Rumihat Book Company's office.
The major shops in Diagon Alley today.
Basically, they were spoiled by Erzhe Magic Store.
Although there were billboards in the past, they were basically very simple, but now, all of them have become light pollution.
For example, this office.
When Ringo came here last time, this place was still deserted and there were no promotional slogans except the sign above.
And now.
There were two figures standing on both sides of the door. One was Lockhart, holding his latest book in his hand, and the other was a dark figure holding "Dumbledore Falls in Love with Me" in his hand.
"It's a big change..." Ringo smiled and walked in - it was more spacious. Originally, only Grace stayed behind, but now she was replaced by another young witch.
The witch was stunned for a moment after seeing Ringo.
Subconsciously asked: "Excuse me, are you Mary Sue...er, sir?"
This time it was Ringo's turn to be surprised: "It's me, how did you recognize me at first sight? Also, are you the new receptionist?"
"Yes, I am the new receptionist. The original Ms. Grace has been promoted to senior editor... As for how to recognize Mr. at a glance, ahem, it is because Ms. Grace has described your appearance to us more than once. Then
Plus today is the day you agreed to meet..." The witch stood up as she spoke, and seemed to want to lead Ringo over. However, after getting closer to Ringo, she still said rather embarrassedly, "It's just that I didn't.
Thinking that your husband has changed so much, Ms. Grace said you were a little... slightly fat, but now you are..."
"It means my life has gotten better." Ringo responded with the excuse he had already thought of, and smiled at the witch, making the witch feel dizzy.
——Of course he is handsome.
Compared with the original combination of enlargement spell and transformation spell.
The transformation spell is more convenient.
But it's also a little troublesome - it can't change out of thin air, it can only become a known image in the mind.
So although Ringo is roughly the same as before, his essence is that he has become a person who really existed in his previous life but it is hard to tell in this life.
——David Bowie.
A British rock singer, actor, and the online prototype of Yoshikage Kira in the famous comic Jojo.
After all, he has to compete with Lockhart, and it won't be easy to publicize if he's too ugly.
"Ms. Grace is inside, Mr. Su... uh, please come in." After the witch ushered Ringo into the room, she finally ran away.
no way.
There is too much pressure in front of a handsome guy.
It's not just her.
Even Kathy Grace, who had been waiting inside for a long time, was stunned for a moment when she saw Ringo suddenly coming in. It took a long time before she asked in confusion: "Mary Sue?"
"It's me, why? I've changed so much that I can't recognize it?" Lin Ge showed himself to her, "Now that I'm going to become a celebrity, I can't be as sloppy as before, so I've been doing fitness and maintenance in the past six months.
how?"
"Not bad, very good!" Grace exclaimed, "It's really good. I thought before that although you would definitely be popular, you wouldn't be able to reach the heights of Lockhart. Now I think I have to regret it. You can definitely surpass him -
—By the way, he just sent a message saying that he was going to have a private chat with you about resource allocation."
"Shouldn't it be your company's decision to decide on promotional resources?"
"Theoretically it should be, but in practice... you know, for great authors like you and Lockhart, we have to respect some opinions."
"Okay, I'll talk to him then. Let's talk about the new book contract now. Here, here is the sample book."
Ringo handed over the manuscript.
Grace also handed over the contract: "This is a new contract. Compared with the previous one, the share has been increased by 5%."
"Lockhart's contract?" Ringo raised his eyebrows.
Although the share of the previous contract was also very high, it was still slightly lower than Lockhart's, and now it is completely on par.
"Yes." Grace curled her lips, "This is already the biggest contract I can get for you."
Ringo looked at it slowly: "Whatever, I don't care, it's just publishing rights anyway."
"What?"
"Grace, how are you doing in this company?" Ringo suddenly changed the subject, "Do you want to change jobs?"
Grace's eyes widened and she didn't understand why Ringo suddenly jumped to this topic.
Fortunately, there are only two of them in this room.
So I'm not afraid of others eavesdropping.
So she hesitated and asked, "What do you mean? Don't you plan to sign a contract with us for this book?"
"Sign."
"That……"
"But this is the only one. As for the next one, I am planning to start a company with others. Coincidentally, there is a lack of an editor." Ringo looked at Grace, "Are you willing to come? Or you are interested.
Always?"
"this……"
Grace suddenly became confused.
Honestly.
Her current status in Rumihat Book Company has improved, and she is very satisfied, but she has to say that her current status is entirely because of Ringo. If Lingo stops publishing books, then her status will come to an end...
…
But switching to a new company, even though you are the editor-in-chief, is undoubtedly very risky.
But to get to where we are now.
Grace herself was capable, so she thought for a while before she said: "Mary, in theory, I should promise you immediately in exchange for your absolute trust, but it must be difficult. As an adult, you can make random promises without thinking about anything."
, you probably don’t want your future editor-in-chief to be such a person, so..."
She looked directly at Lin Ge: "Mr. Su, can you tell me the advantages of your new company? Don't worry, we can sign a confidentiality agreement."
——She even changed her title to a formal one.
Regarding this.
Ringo was very satisfied. As he said, the editor-in-chief, as the head of a book company, cannot be a fool, so he said directly: "You don't have to sign a confidentiality agreement, Casey, I believe you."
"As for advantages, does my book count as an advantage? You know I have so many creative ideas."
"It definitely counts." Grace nodded.
"Besides that, if I tell you that the person I'm working with is Ringo Shelby, does that count as an advantage?"
Grace was suddenly startled: "Shelby? Is it the Shelby I know?"
"There should be only one Shelby in the wizarding world." Ringo pointed through the window in the direction of the Potion Store, "Yes, that's him."
"I'm willing to join!" Grace said immediately, "Do you want me to resign now?"
"No need...not that fast."
Ringo was still smiling.
But I couldn't help complaining in my heart - if Mary Sue and Ringo Shelby were not the same person, I would probably have a bad look on my face now, wouldn't I? He didn't agree to my pull, but just hearing Shelby's name made him cry.
Decided to join...
All right.
It's actually pretty cool.
Lin Ge suppressed the pride in his heart, waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, Grace, you can continue to work here. Well, it's best to start learning more about the company's operations. He is said to be the editor-in-chief, but you are responsible for the newly opened company.
There will definitely be a lot of them.”
"Can you use me to dig up some authors?" Grace couldn't help but step into the role.
"No, we don't lack authors, and books are just the foundation. We have other businesses, which is the third advantage I want to tell you..."
"What is it?"
"A movie, to be precise, is a movie adapted from a novel."
Grace looked confused: "What is this?"
"It's hard to explain." Ringo smiled, "You'd better take some time to go to the Muggle world, and then find someone to watch a movie in the cinema. You'll know."
"I'll take a look." Grace nodded solemnly, as if she was executing the boss's order for the first time.
"Very good, let's sign the contract, and then I'll go discuss promotion resources with Lockhart."
After Ringo made sure there were no pitfalls in the contract.
Just sign your name on it - Mary Sue.
Then he left Grace to continue reading her new book, and after asking for the location, she went downstairs and went straight to the Leaky Cauldron.
And after asking Old Tom.
Was led into a single room.
——Before this, he drank the anti-memory modification potion.
Gilderoy Lockhart was sitting inside, looking in the mirror and writing and drawing.
Click——
See Ringo come in.
The middle-aged wizard immediately showed his trademark smile and walked over with open arms: "Oh, you must be Mary Sue, the author of "Dumbledore Falls in Love with Me", right? Nice to meet you, um, I guess you are too
You must know who I am, right? Yes, I am the internationally renowned writer Gilderoy Lockhart, a recipient of the Order of Merlin Level 3, an honorary member of the Alliance Against Dark Arts, and a five-time winner of the "Wizard Weekly" Most Charming Smile Award.
…”
"Hello."
Ringo took a step back calmly and avoided his embrace: "I wonder what happened when Mr. Lockhart called me over?"
"Nothing, just getting to know each other." Seeing Ringo rejecting him so much, Lockhart's eyes flashed unnaturally, but he quickly covered it up. He gestured for Ringo to sit opposite him and said, "After all, we
They are all well-known writers from the same company..."
"So we need to compete for publicity resources? Instead of dividing them equally according to the company's wishes?" Ringo raised his eyebrows, "Does Mr. Lockhart want the big head?"
"No no no!"
Lockhart shook his head directly: "Don't worry, I don't want a big deal. I will even choose to quit and let the company give you all the publicity resources this time."
As soon as these words came out.
Ringo suddenly felt alarmed - this was very un-Lockhart!
as expected.
The next moment, Lockhart said: "Just think of me as a senior taking care of you as a junior. After all, I have heard about your level. Not only do you have many creative ideas, but you also know many things about famous wizards when they were young. Alas, It’s not easy. Can you tell me about it? Just treat it like making friends. In return, I can also tell you about my past and my experience in writing books.”
"This..." Lin Ge seemed to see how enthusiastic the other party was. The coldness on his face gradually faded and he became embarrassed, but he was still a little wary.
"It's okay, let me tell you first, you should be curious too, right?"
"Yes, you are a well-known writer, and I am still curious about how you write those interesting contents..." Ringo continued.
See Ringo is so smart.
Lockhart also immediately started cheating on a daily basis.
He is a very skilled person and can easily get closer to the person he wants to get closer to through words. Ringo probably guessed his purpose and was happy to perform. He gradually became closer to him and showed up when he wanted to. Asking casually.
Not only did he tell more "details" about famous wizards, but he also revealed all the ideas for novels he wanted to write in the future.
in this way.
Time passes little by little.
Two hours later.
Ringo looked at his watch and said: "Mr. Lockhart, it's time for me to go back. It's nice to meet you today. If there is a chance, we can have more contact in the future..."
"Of course, in fact, I have decided to let you be my teaching assistant after I take office." Lockhart said with a smile, "As you know, my application to teach at Hogwarts is nearing completion. It must be very soon. The results will be available soon.”
"Then I'm really honored."
Ringo was very happy and walked out after exchanging pleasantries.
Just arrived in front of the door.
Then Lockhart stopped him again: "By the way, Ringo, let me give you another gift."
"what gift?"
Ringo turned his head, just in time to see Lockhart holding the wand in his hand, smiling brightly at himself: "——"Forget everything""
call!
A powerful magic hit Ringo directly.
next moment.
Lockhart laughed loudly: "Oh, poor Mary Sue, how about it? Is my gift very good? Tsk tsk tsk... You don't really think I will give you all the publicity resources, do you? Yes, I give them all to you, but I give them your ideas, and now your ideas, well, they are mine..."
The words have not yet been spoken.
But he suddenly saw a smile on Lin Ge's lips opposite him: "Are you so sure?"
"You..." Lockhart was startled, "How come you weren't affected?"
Said.
He raised his wand again: "——"Forget everything"
Ringo tilted his head: "Have you not eaten, Mr. Lockhart? Why are the spells so weak? Or do you think you don't know how to spell them? Or I can teach you."
"What?" Lockhart was stunned.
Unfortunately, Ringo raised his wand without giving him a chance to answer his questions.
——"Everything is forgotten"
call!
Lockhart was stunned...
