HP Approaches the Magical World

Jon watched with his own eyes the murderous intent appearing on Lockhart's face, and then gradually receding, the hypocrisy of a gentleman reappeared from under his face.

"What are you talking about? I can't tell the truth."

Lockhart calmed himself down, intending to deal with the child in front of him - he couldn't kill anyone, and the Ministry of Magic would find out if a student at school was killed.

"You don't have to be nervous, I mean no harm."

Relatively speaking, Jon was much calmer, he wasn't worried at all that Lockhart would do something to him.

Because of Helga's protection, he is now neither afraid of death nor afraid of someone trying to modify his memory.

"This is a Muggle gathering area, and it is very dangerous to use magic here, so, I think we can communicate peacefully, just like we did just now."

With the initiative in hand, Jon was much more relaxed.

"I just heard so much from you. I think you are indeed a very smart person. I like talking to smart people."

Lockhart watched the child opposite him show a maturity beyond his age, and gradually loosened his grip on the wand.

As he said, he is very good at things like observing words and expressions, no matter how good the person opposite is at disguising, as long as Jon is not telling the truth, he can still see a little clue.

but none.

Jon's expression was unusually calm, without any trace of a lie.

And think about it with your head, maybe this matter is really that simple, at least Jon seems to have no malice towards him.

Otherwise, there is no need to talk so much to himself. His past cannot withstand investigation. As long as Jon handed over these things to the Ministry of Magic or the "Daily Prophet", then he will be finished.

"Tell me about your conditions."

Lockhart took off his sunglasses and looked directly at Jon opposite him: "Money, reputation, I can satisfy you as much as possible."

"I don't want any."

Jon leaned against the back of the sofa, tapping his fingers on the table.

"I know you are a very successful wizard, but I'm just a student, so I don't lack money or fame. As long as I want, I can get quite a lot of fame at any time."

Lockhart frowned like a newborn baby, but he had to admit that the child opposite seemed to have the confidence to say such a thing.

Which family is this child from?

Never heard of it before?

Lockhart suddenly realized that he had sat here for so long without even asking what the child's name was.

Was he charmed?

Jon didn't know that Lockhart had already started guessing in his mind that he had Veela blood, he was just thinking about how to put it mildly.

After all, I have to let others teach me memory magic.

"In fact, I admire your deeds very much. Not just any wizard can achieve your level, but at the same time, I am more interested in your expertise."

Lockhart was suspicious: "My specialty? You mean writing?"

"Of course not. I'm talking about your magic expertise. In the field of memory magic, you should be among the top five wizards in the UK."

"That's not the case."

Lockhart didn't know what Jon was praising him for, but he always felt that there was a conspiracy.

"I don't mean anything else, I just want to ask, are you interested in coming to my house as a private teacher?"

...

Lockhart was in a rather dazed walk all the way back to school.

His mind was full of the things Jon had said to him.

I don't know where I made a mistake. The previous things were obviously done in secret, and he didn't tell anyone about these things.

But these things happened to be known by others, and now they have become a handle to threaten him.

It doesn't seem like a threat.

If you are simply looking for a teacher, why did you find yourself here?

Unless it is this matter, it cannot be known.

A freshman student who had the guts and confidence to come to see him, but also set his mind firmly, it seemed that he had been staring at him for a long time.

He has been wandering around the West for so long, so he is naturally aware that some big wizard families do have this kind of inexplicable tradition.

and,

a private teacher,

It often means that this teacher has other uses for this family.

But apart from some false fame, what else is there that is worthy of others' prying eyes?

He is vain, but he is not a fool.

He knows what can be done and what cannot be done, if this matter cannot be avoided, then he will not avoid it.

Most importantly, Jon did offer him generous conditions.

Money comes second.

Jon made him a condition, although it was still a blank check, but it was very moving.

He looked at the note in his hand, which had the hotel room number written on it.

And a name.

Hidden under the beautiful cursive characters is a very brilliant name.

Jon Smith Hufflepuff.

Hufflepuff.

Not Hufflepuff House, but Hufflepuff Family.

He was surprised at first that Hufflepuffs still had heirs left in the world, but he was no longer surprised.

Because if it is an ancient family that inherits in this way, then it is not surprising that others will know about their own affairs.

If this news is passed on, it is estimated that the entire wizarding world will be shaken by it.

That's a living descendant of legendary wizards, and, as long as Hogwarts exists, this surname will definitely not decline.

Students from Hufflepuff College account for almost half of all wizards in the UK wizarding world.

At that time, as my personal teacher, I will definitely get countless and various eyes.

That was the life he wanted, even if it was a jealous look, he would feel quite comfortable in his heart.

And until then, what novel would he use to write?

He usually spends a lot of money, and the manuscript fee for publishing books is beyond his means. Otherwise, he still needs to hold a signing event?

Isn't it because you don't have enough money and you need to sell your hue to attract fans?

Now he has figured it out clearly, there is no way out of writing a book, it is tiring and hard work, no one sees that he can't make money, sometimes life is a problem, not to mention that people often come to ridicule him.

It's better to save enough money for yourself first,

When the time comes, he can write whatever he wants,

You don't need to look at other people's faces to live.

Jon's invitation made him see this opportunity.

after all,

Not only is he good at finding targets,

Also good at finding opportunities.

If God put the opportunity here, but he missed it in vain, that would be really stupid.

and now,

he has felt,

future fame and fortune,

seems to be there,

He waved at him.
