HP Approaches the Magic World

"Jon, we are not the same people."

Seeing the sincerity in Lockhart's eyes, Jon suddenly felt that Lockhart seemed not as sad as before.

He became very calm.

Lockhart is now describing this matter to Jon with a reasonable and normal emotion.

Describing his past, he also uncovered the scars in his heart.

This is not an easy thing, and Jon knows this very well.

Everyone has a past, and those who look very sunny, their past can sometimes even make people feel extremely sad. However, these people themselves do not show great sadness, but use a disguise to show their surroundings

people show their immense happiness.

"Actually, I tried self-medication. Jon, have you heard of Adler?"

Jon shook his head blankly. He had never learned the history of magic well, and he rarely paid attention to celebrities in the magic world.

"Adler is not a wizard, he is a scholar in the Muggle world."

Jon obediently made a listening gesture. There were no mobile phones, no computers, and no Internet here. He couldn't go to Google or search for who this person was right now. The only good way was to listen to what Lockhart had to say.

Just treat it as a class. Anyway, Lockhart taught him this way before.

"You don't know Adler, but you've heard of Freud, right?"

This time Jon nodded wildly. The name of this master of psychology was so familiar that it was impossible that he had never heard of it.

"Adler's full name is Alfred Adler. He was Freud's friend and an Austrian psychiatrist."

Was Freud originally an Austrian?

Jon secretly thought in his heart that he only knew that Freud was a Westerner, but he had never looked for the specific place.

After all, he doesn't major in psychology.

But Lockhart's current situation is easy to understand. He was just over-expected by his mother since he was a child. However, after becoming a wizard, he found that he was not in a state that could satisfy his mother's excessive expectations, so he began to try various methods as much as possible.

To improve one's external image and influence, and in this way to satisfy one's own and mother's vanity.

This mentality is like expressing an attitude to the people around me - you see, I am still very good.

"This is my problem. I grew up with my mother's high expectations. But after I came to Hogwarts, I suddenly discovered that I was not the special one, just an ordinary little wizard.

, so this triggered my denial of myself and my mother, which led me to just want to get attention for myself - maybe this is also a kind of inferiority complex."

Lockhart said: "The Adler I just told you was a person I heard about when I was traveling in Muggle society. He once put forward a theory that said my problem was psychological.

The problem is that my inferiority complex coexists with my superiority complex, which is a pathological compensation phenomenon. When I overcame the inferiority complex caused when I first entered the magical world, I adopted improper methods, which resulted in my inferiority complex.

The situation, that is, my mother did not make any changes, which intensified my inferiority complex. At the same time, I gradually immersed myself in the false prosperity I created, even though it aroused the disgust of many people

, and didn’t stop.”

It was obvious that Lockhart had been holding this kind of heart-wrenching words in his heart for a long time. At this moment, he was finally able to speak out, and it felt like he was able to let it out.

Jon didn't think much about his negative emotions. He just calmly became a listener to listen to Lockhart's troubles. Anyway, Dumbledore only used himself as a tool, so who should be used as a tool?

Woolen cloth?

Working as Lockhart's tool, at least you can hear these secrets that others don't know.

It's better than Snape who didn't get any compensation for being Dumbledore's tool.

"After graduating from Hogwarts, I began to enter the wizarding society, but you know that with a personality like mine at that time, it was difficult to put down my status and do some work that could not bring me glory."

"But why not consider some jobs that can bring you a lot of fame? For example, a musician, a singer, something like that."

Lockhart shook his head.

"Of course I have thought about these jobs, but Jon, I don't have this talent. Do you think I became a writer because of my literary talent?

Not really.

The reason why I became a writer is because being a writer is the only profession I can choose. It does not require basic music skills and a perfect voice like a singer, nor does it require a very sensitive political sense like a politician.

As long as you have a wonderful story and are willing to work hard to hone your writing skills, you will always be very famous."

In fact, to put it bluntly, it's just because Lockhart is lazy.

Because among the examples he cited, only writers can become famous in the fastest way. For wizards in the magical world who have inherited ancient traditions, their requirements for entertainment life are very primitive, because they are not like Muggle society.

I also have too many real electronic products and not much time to go to the theater to watch performances, so supporting my favorite author and buying a book has become the easiest thing.

In particular, Lockhart also targeted his audience at housewives. It must be said that Jon felt that Lockhart was born to be famous.

He is indeed a person who can sacrifice a lot to become famous.

"But I'm also deeply troubled, aren't I?"

Lockhart laughed at himself: "It was only after I became famous that I realized that having too much fame is not a good thing. Not only are fans often scrutinizing me, but my own personal safety is difficult to protect - those middle-aged people."

The wizard can't control his wife's heart, but he wants to blame all the blame on me. It's obvious that they themselves are incompetent, okay?"

"But these things are no longer important to me now. I have made up my mind to come to Hogwarts and help Dumbledore complete the scene according to his plan, and then leave.

In my current life, what happened to Lockhart in the past has nothing to do with me?

By the way, Jon, if I become the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, should you change your tune?"

Seeing Lockhart's serious expression, Jon raised his eyebrows, sighed helplessly, and chuckled.

"Well, my dear, Professor Lockhart."
