HP Approaches the Magical World

Chapter 119 Is That A Warning? that's a gift

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

Not long ago, he went up to the second floor and returned to his guest room to rest. When he went out, he happened to see Jon push open the door of the study and walk in.

As a result, his occupational disease occurred again.

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

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

Then, he fell down.

...

Strictly speaking, Lockhart's life is no different from what Jon said to Anthony.

His life, in fact, is the life of an agent.

And what kind of life does an agent lead?

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

For his own reputation, Lockhart had to find suitable people to obtain their experiences and memories. Even though Lockhart is a master of memory magic, tampering with memories is ultimately a dangerous thing.

And in this world,

the safest,

Only the dead.

For his own safety, Lockhart can only completely turn his inspiration providers into dead people who can't speak,

The mind-suggestion magic that was obtained from the American black wizard once evolved countless application methods in his hands.

As a result, the target wizards they met later all left the world in various suicides.

In this world, the safest and least noticeable way to die is suicide.

Therefore, Lockhart actually had some lives on his body.

It's just that he does it in secret, and the people who attack him are usually not people who have a relationship with him, so no one has discovered these private things.

Not being discovered naturally means that it can continue forever.

This was the case with Lockhart in the past, without the constraints of others, he did everything on his own initiative. If it weren't for the fact that every memory change would bring about a certain degree of serious sequelae, Lockhart would not just publish such a book now. Several books.

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

Jon will find him this time, in fact, because he has just finished writing a book and is in a period of serious sequelae.

In a Muggle university, mainly because he needed to find a place where magic wasn't used as much as possible.

Such a place is only suitable in the Muggle world.

And as a celebrity, Muggle universities are also the best place for him to avoid those rabid fans.

No matter how the female students deal with it, they are not as difficult as those witches.

He originally planned to take a year off from college, but he didn't expect to kill Jon Smith halfway.

In any case, the conditions proposed by Jon fully captured his weakness. The reason why he is here now, except for Jon's coercion and temptation, the rest of the reasons are largely because of Hufflepuff. Family curiosity.

Who could not wonder how the descendants of legendary witches lived?

But when Jon and a house elf were the only ones in the whole manor, Lockhart began to think a little more.

It's not that he doubted Jon's identity. Since Jon said it, he was not afraid to check it out. He was thinking about those legends.

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

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

He has been afraid to act rashly for the past few days, and can only alleviate his inner curiosity by preparing lessons, but in the afternoon, his curiosity once again gained the upper hand.

Jon opened the door by himself, and he didn't go close to the study, but 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 grasp it.

So he waved his wand quietly, and an ice edge bloomed.

With the variant application of [clear water like a spring], you can condense a few tiny ice crystal mirrors that can reflect light in the air, and take a look at the scene in the study.

It's just that when he adjusted the angle and saw the portrait hanging on the wall, someone spotted him.

The luxuriously dressed young woman on the portrait just frowned and glared at him casually.

Then.

More than a dozen ice crystal mirrors were crushed into nothingness in mid-air soundlessly, and the woman's sight pierced into his mind like a needle.

The pain came.

That sore spot didn't last as long as the aftereffects of modifying memories, it just lasted for a short period of time.

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

That's... Helga Hufflepuff.

Legendary witch.

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

Luxurious purple.

Honey badgers on a flock.

There is also a tree.

Knowing the fame of the legendary witch Hufflepuff and the emblem of Hufflepuff's house, at this moment, why can't Lockhart think of who is the witch in the portrait?

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

and,

Lockhart suddenly let out a long breath, trying to calm himself down.

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

How could such a job opportunity be easily missed?

Lockhart, who was gradually relieved, gradually became less nervous, and his trembling hands gradually calmed down.

A legendary witch would never care about such a small character like him.

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

Warnings are good, warnings are the most reassuring.

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

The warning of the legendary witch, how could it be a warning?

That is a gift!
