Hogwarts everyday players

Chapter 20 Lockhart’s new book

Ryan suddenly felt lucky again. If there was no system, he would dive into this seemingly simple fairy tale. Being familiar with the original work, he would follow the simplest strategy, and he might encounter some unspeakable power in the end.
Of course, if I am just too cautious, as the descendant of Peverell, I will not be stopped, and I may become the God of Death.

"Ryan, what are you looking at?" Kate tilted her head and looked at the cover of the book I was holding.

It has long been Ryan's habit to read a book and spend the rest of the time thinking about other things.

"The Tales of Beedle the Poet." Ryan raised the book in his hand.

"Ah, I stopped reading this when I was 5 years old!" Kate proudly took out an unknown vampire novel.

Reading is indeed the best way to socialize between Ravenclaws.

Accompanied by the sound of rustling books, Ryan relaxed and fell into sleep unconsciously.

Early the next morning, Ryan got up from the bed, pushed away Kate who put her feet in front of his nose, and put on a brand new wizard robe with a thought.

Wizard robes are convenient and loose, and you can wear anything underneath them.

Ryan sat in the surprisingly beautiful lounge and looked out the window, which was still gray.

As if he sensed someone waking up, a cup of hot black tea, chickpeas, bread, and grilled sausage appeared on the table.

Ryan took out the Daily Prophet next to the sofa and read it slowly while having a simple breakfast.

Turning to the thirteenth page, the article showed a physically disturbing photo as usual: a woman wearing a pair of jewelry-encrusted glasses, her blond hair styled into delicate curls, her teeth exposed, and a beautiful smile that she thought was charming.

Smiling and waving his fingers towards Ryan.

"This smile is the same as Lockhart's. The smile shows 8 teeth, but Lockhart is pretty handsome, but Rita Skeeter...isn't she so incompetent?"

"Let me see, what did this woman say again?" Ryan complained unabashedly and drank a cup of black tea.

Gilderoy Lockhart's writing style is famous for his elegance and romance, and he himself is as easy-going and handsome as in the book.

In his warm and comfortable home, he welcomed me in the foyer, took me directly into the kitchen, drank tea, ate a piece of cake heavy in sugar and oil, and of course, had freshly baked hot topics for conversation.
"Needless to say, Gilderoy Lockhart is a man of dreams," Skeeter said. "He is a handsome and fearless wizard who has solved countless problems during his long journey. He is also a famous author."

"Gilderoy Lockhart Teaches You How to Get Rid of Pests from Home" is a book worth reading for many families, and I believe there will be many wizards who will buy it in the future."

Gilderoy is undoubtedly a fast player.

This 500-page guide was completed during Lockhart's two-week journey. I asked him how he could do it so quickly.

"Well, when you've written as many books as I have and love to travel, then scrambling for time becomes second nature. I know there are many wizarding families who desperately need a comprehensive guide to ridding their homes of pests, and I hope this is

One that satisfies this need."

I mentioned the most widely circulated comment in the Daily Prophet. He claimed to be a classmate of Gilderoy's. He said, "Gilderoy Lockhart is a character who gives all his classmates a headache. The stories in his books

The credibility of what he did is not as good as a chocolate frog card."

Lockhart looked up to the sky and laughed.

"Lovely old classmate! I still remember that I claimed that I could make the Philosopher's Stone before graduation, and I also planned to lead the England Quidditch team to win the World Cup, and eventually became the youngest Minister of Magic in the United Kingdom! But this does not mean that I can't

To achieve great things, I am committed to eradicating evil in the world and selling my own line of hair conditioners—"

However, many media reprinted messages from classmates claiming to be Gilderoy Lockhart, saying that he was a narcissist and a disgusting person who carved his name on the Quidditch pitch in 20-foot-long letters (which made him

After a week of confinement), he had his likeness projected into the sky like the Dark Mark, and he sent himself eight hundred Valentine's Day cards, causing breakfast to be canceled because of the large amount of owl droppings and feathers.

Into cereal.

How could such a wizard become an outstanding wizard who has won the third-class Order of Merlin, an honorary member of the Anti-Dark Arts Alliance, and won the "Wizard Weekly" Most Charming Smile Award five times?

"Oh, dear," said Lockhart, beaming, patting my hand affectionately, "you know as well as I do that you have beautiful curls, a fearless energy, and a beautiful

And with the sharp shorthand peacock quill pen, you can write many words in your spare time!"

"Moreover, I am from the smartest Ravenclaw house. You know, not everyone will honestly recognize a person's excellence."

"However, these rumors and slanders can be regarded as jokes long ago, because as long as you have followed me and my journey, you can find many obvious sources:

With Dumbledore's permission, I once ran a school newspaper at Hogwarts and accumulated rich writing experience.

Throughout my journey, you will find that Wan Lun female ghosts, Greek ghouls, Nordic vampires, Polish trolls, xz snowmen, German dominatrix and other incidents were all solved after I passed by.

I also wrote about them one by one in my book."

The advertisement for Gilderoy Lockhart's new guidebook makes it clear that for those who are troubled by pests in their homes, a comprehensive and effective method awaits them.

So, what is the most surprising thing about the methods he discovered?

"Okay, stop talking, Rita, I won't reveal the most exciting content before everyone buys the book!" Gilderoy laughed and said, "But I can guarantee that anyone who thinks they are very good will

People who are good at housework magic will suddenly wake up from their dreams after reading my guide! Those who work to clean up pests will find a simple and effective method that they have never dreamed of!"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

"Yes, "Gilderoy Lockhart teaches you how to rid your home of pests" is such a useful and magical guide that every wizarding family should have."

I asked Lockhart if the book covered all pests.

"Oh, goblins are just the simplest kind," Lockhart said with a smile, "No, no, the pests involved in the book are far more serious than goblins, and even worse than the vixens that often breed on curtains.

No, they are all the pests you can’t imagine, all the pests you may encounter in your home!”

Despite having so many honors, can Gilderoy challenge the expertise of other home cleaning companies in areas he doesn't understand?

"Oh, I'm so glad you mentioned other home cleaning companies," Gilderoy Lockhart said with a suggestive smile. "Companies that live by the magic of simple living, be prepared. People read me

After reading the book, I have to conclude that household cleaning is no longer a matter monopolized by certain wizard families and groups!"

Gilderoy would not say more about this interesting subject, so we turn to the question that will undoubtedly attract the reader the most.

"Oh, that's right," Gilderoy nodded repeatedly. "On August 1st, my masterpiece "Gilderoy Lockhart Teaches You How to Get Rid of Pests from Your Home" will be available in major bookstores."<

/p>

I asked Gilderoy if he had any new works recently, or if he had any great unknown acts.

"Oh, yes, a new work, a new work about me eradicating evil and raping people in a foreign country," Lockhart said. "Not every act I did will be written in the book. Some of them involve the parties involved and the privacy of the country. I can't say more.

Not to mention writing."

The topic naturally turned to the shampoo developed by Gilderoy. Is there any groundbreaking breakthrough between Gilderoy's shampoo and Porter's?

"Oh, I don't want to say too much - I'm just introducing my new book this time - although my shampoo innovatively uses egg yolks from birds and snakes to make the hair more shiny. Potter's shampoo has long been outdated.

Well, if Newt Scamander, a ridiculous old man, hadn't said that birds and snakes were endangered, my shampoo would have sold even more!"

After he said these intriguing words, I left.

There is no doubt that Gilderoy Lockhart's book will be an instant bestseller.

And home cleaning companies will probably tremble with fear, wondering if some of their methods of defrauding money will be exposed and no longer available for use.

After reading the last line, Ryan's head was full of black lines.

My dear, if you write a book, it will be published in the Daily Prophet, and even Rita Skeeter will support this. Lockhart is indeed the top figure in the wizarding world, the dream lover of countless middle-aged and elderly witches.

Selling a book is not enough. Cutting leeks is not enough. Let’s start with shampoo. It is estimated that other simple methods in this book will also involve some unique magic cleaners.

Even home cleaning companies aren't trembling with fear, they're probably trembling with joy. Lockhart must be working with one of them.

Moreover, the shampoo also uses the egg yolks of endangered magical creatures such as birds and snakes as raw materials. If the protection of magical creatures were not as perfect as the Muggle world, he would definitely be arrested.

Shampoo is so expensive, what’s the difference between it and an unscrupulous businessman who claims that eating shark fin is good for your health?

Gilderoy Lockhart and Rita Skeeter are both Ravenclaw scum!

There is no doubt that they can get along well by relying on their intelligence, but without exception they are all trying to get by. One relies on the forgetting spell to deceive other people's experiences to write a book, and the other relies on turning an Animagus into a beetle to steal privacy and write news.

.

Both of them have very good magical talents. One relied on the Oblivion Curse to confuse many powerful wizards who could be called the protagonists in the travel notes. The other even mastered Ani, which only seven wizards in the 20th century had mastered.

Maggs (although there are only a lot of them registered, there are still some that are not registered, such as Harry's father's four-person band of robbers).

Lockhart does have great abilities, and he is smarter than most of his classmates, but his biggest shortcoming is that he is unwilling to try unless he is the best, and he prefers to take shortcuts.

Rita Skeeter pays more attention to her paparazzi career and works hard for it, including mastering the Animagus.

Both of them were content with pleasure, slaves of the Golden Gallon, wasting their talents, and a wizard living as a vulgar mortal.

It is a pity that their character weaknesses and subsequent behaviors are due to their failure to truly realize what is the greatest thing in this world. Only magic is a matter worth studying for wizards throughout their lives.

With magic, everything is possible. Even love can be obtained through love potions. Immortality can also be obtained through the Philosopher's Stone. In terms of dominance, you can be like Dumbledore and take the position you want. Even the Minister of Magic can easily obtain it.

, as long as he wants.

What else does Hogwarts education teach besides magic? Magic is powerful because of the mind. The changed wizards did not have mental health education, and even formed small groups and splits.

University or education reform is imminent.

"Ryan, what are you doing?" Kate, who had changed into a common blue wizard robe, looked at the frowning Ryan in confusion.

"Read the newspaper."

"It turns out to be Rita Skeeter!" Kate wrinkled her nose.

"What?" Ryan asked curiously.

"In Hogwarts, no, some annoying people in Ravenclaw call me Rita Skeeter II!" Kate's beautiful brown eyes ignited with rare anger.

"The reputation of our Ravenclaws has also been ruined by this guy, and he is very unsightly."

"Obviously she has the same beautiful blond hair as Penello, but she makes her hair into delicate, stiff, and strangely big curls. She has a big chin. She should obviously let her hair down to show off her face and cover up her flaws, but it is matched like this

Extremely awkward."

"She is wearing a pair of glasses with jewels, which is tacky."

"The fingers are fat and thick, and she keeps her nails two inches apart and paints them bright red. She is afraid that others will not know that her hands are ugly. Every time she takes a photo, apart from her big chin, her claws are like a C."

"In addition, her eyebrows are also drawn thickly, and she has three gold teeth in her mouth."

......

Kate made a long list of comments about all the physical features of Rita Skeeter. How does Rita feel like this from a female perspective?

Ryan said that he has learned a lot. It’s not that men don’t know how to complain about some physical characteristics, but few understand it better than women. When complaining about a person, people tend to start complaining about the aspects they are good at.

That's right, Kate's dress is very good at making people ignore her short and flat characteristics. She is probably very knowledgeable in this aspect.

"Okay, but this report is about Gilderoy Lockhart's new book." Ryan interrupted reluctantly. Kate was complaining about the bright green color, the crocodile leather bag and the magenta robe that didn't match Rita.

It also looks rustic.

"Lockhart, that big mouth!" Kate suddenly came back to her senses.

"I know him. Ryan, you mentioned it before when you talked about vampires." Kate became energetic again at the mention of vampires.

"What book is it?"

"Doing housework." Ryan replied.

"Doing housework? Wizard? Hahahahaha..." Kate seemed to be struck by the point of laughter, and she rolled on the sofa with laughter.

After a long period of crisp laughter, Ryan learned from Kate that the combination of wizards and household magic was a joke in the British wizarding world.

Well, Lockhart is really shameless in order to cut leeks.

***The author has something to say***

Thank you for your monthly pass, haha, very good-looking, good, good classmate.
