HP Approaches the Magic World

Chapter 119 Is that a warning? It's a gift

While Jon was taking notes and records in the study room, in the teaching room on the first floor, Lockhart was shivering on his chair.

Not long ago, he went up to the second floor and returned to his guest room to rest. When he was going out, he happened to see Jon opening the study door and walking in.

As a result, his occupational disease recurred again.

Ever since he arrived here, he had been clearly warned by the elf not to go near that study room, but how could curiosity be suppressed with just a warning?

So he moved his hands to get a glimpse of the secret.

Then, he fell.

…

Strictly speaking, there is no difference between Lockhart's life and what Jon told Anthony.

His life is actually the life of an agent.

And what kind of life does an agent live like?

Find the target, investigate the target's life, then get close to the target to obtain the information you want, then solve the target and return to your normal life.

For the sake of his reputation, Lockhart had to find the right people to obtain their experiences and memories. Even though Lockhart was a master of memory magic, tampering with memories was ultimately a dangerous thing.

And in this world,

the safest,

There are only dead people.

For his own safety, Lockhart could only turn his inspiration providers into speechless dead people.

The telepathic suggestion magic that he obtained from an American black wizard at one time evolved into countless application methods in his hands.

As a result, the target wizards I met later all passed away in various suicides.

In this world, the safest and most inconspicuous way to die is suicide.

Therefore, Lockhart actually has some lives on his body.

It's just that he does it secretly, and the people he attacks are usually not people he has any connections with, so no one has ever discovered these private things.

Not being discovered naturally means that you can continue forever.

Lockhart was like this in the past. He had no restraint from others and did everything on his own initiative. If it weren't for the fact that every change of memory would bring serious sequelae to a certain extent, Lockhart would not only publish such books now.

Several books.

After all, with his literary skills, he can basically write a book in one or two years.

The reason why he was found by Jon this time was actually because he had just finished writing a book and was in a period of severe sequelae.

In a Muggle university, it was mainly because he needed to find a place where magic would be used as little as possible.

This kind of place is the most suitable only in the Muggle world.

And as a celebrity, a Muggle university is the best place for him to avoid those ardent fans.

No matter how hard female students deal with them, they are not as difficult to deal with as those witches.

He originally planned to take a year off in college, but he didn't expect that Jon Smith would appear halfway through.

In any case, the conditions put forward by Jon completely captured his weakness. The reason why he is here now, apart from Jon's coercion and inducement, a large part of the remaining reasons is because of Hufflepuff.

Family curiosity.

Who can not wonder how the descendants of legendary witches live?

But when there was only Jon and a house elf in the entire manor, Lockhart began to think too much.

It's not that he doubts Jon's identity. Since Jon said it, he's not afraid of him checking it out. He's thinking about the legends.

An adventure writer who has never been on an adventure will naturally be excited when he encounters a rare opportunity to explore.

The only problem is... there is a house elf in the manor and a powerful magic circle.

In the past few days, he had not dared to act rashly, and could only relieve his inner curiosity by preparing lessons. But in the afternoon, his curiosity once again got the upper hand.

Jon opened the door by himself, and he didn't get close to the study. He just used magic to see what was inside from a distance. He had no other ideas at all, but the opportunity was rare, and it was a pity not to seize it.

So he quietly waved his magic wand, and a streak of ice bloomed.

By using the variant application of [Clear Water Like Spring], you can condense several tiny ice crystal mirrors in the air that can reflect light, and take a look at the scene in the study.

But just as he adjusted his angle, when he saw the portrait hanging on the wall, someone noticed him.

The richly dressed young woman in the portrait just frowned and glared at him lightly.

Then.

A dozen ice crystal mirrors were silently crushed into nothingness in mid-air, and the woman's sight was like a needle piercing into his mind.

Severe pain comes.

The pain was not as long-lasting as the aftereffects of memory modification, it only lasted for a short period of time.

But it was enough to make Lockhart break out in a cold sweat, and then he ran back to the small room on the first floor as if running away.

That's... Helga Hufflepuff.

Legendary witch.

The pain did not weaken Lockhart's thinking, but made him more awake. The appearance of the witch in the portrait became clearer and clearer in his mind.

Luxurious purple.

Honey badgers in a group.

There is also a tree.

Knowing the reputation of the legendary witch Hufflepuff and the emblem of Hufflepuff, at this time, how could Lockhart still not be able to figure out who the witch in the portrait was?

Only a legendary witch can leave such power on a portrait.

and,

Lockhart suddenly took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

He shouldn't...not lose his job because of this, or even if Jon feels uncomfortable because of this, he must try his best to save Jon's heart.

How could you miss this kind of job opportunity so easily?

Lockhart gradually relaxed and became less nervous, and his trembling hands gradually calmed down.

A legendary witch would never argue with a minor character like him.

And he felt that the look just now did not seem like anger, on the contrary, it was more like a warning.

Warning is good, warning is the most reassuring thing.

Is there anything more reassuring than a warning in the world?

A warning from a legendary witch, how can that be considered a warning?

That is a gift!
