The wizard in Hogwarts is unscientific

Chapter 220 Lockhart finally makes headlines

Lockhart's office. New 𝐱.𝐜𝐨𝐦

It is decorated very luxuriously and looks like a high-end five-star hotel.

The walls around the office are covered with photos of Lockhart, but the people in the photos either have a dejected expression or a face full of anxiety.

As for Lockhart himself...

He walked back and forth in the office, with expressions on his face sometimes anxious, sometimes frustrated, and sometimes full of panic.

"This can't go on like this!"

Lockhart looked at himself in the mirror and said to himself: "You have to find a chance to prove yourself. You, Gilderoy Lockhart, are a master of magic!"

But as soon as he finished saying this, Lockhart turned into that dejected look again.

He knows what level he is at.

After graduating from Hogwarts, Lockhart has been working hard to gain fame and wealth. He was so successful that he became the most famous author in the British wizarding world and was awarded the Order of Merlin, Level 3.

He has become famous!

But at some point, he suddenly found that he had lost the ability to cast spells.

He can cast spells, but the magic he uses is not the magic he wants to cast.

So much so that he can't even defeat a second-grade wizard now.

And this incident was witnessed by dozens of people at the same time. new

Now everyone in Hogwarts Castle knows that he is a parallel importer.

Lockhart was filled with fear.

Now these rumors are only limited to the castle, but he knows that these rumors will soon leak out of the castle and eventually be known to the entire magical world.

After all, behind every little wizard is a magical family, and no one can ignore their influence.

Just then, out of Lockhart's sight, a small beetle flew in through the open window. It landed in a hidden corner, staring directly at Lockhart.

If you look closely at the beetle's eyes, you will see that the beetle is excited.

"Damn Andy Collins!"

Lockhart gritted his teeth and cursed: "I didn't expect that a second-year wizard could master silent casting and make me make such a big fool of myself!"

Lockhart felt that he was still somewhat competent.

He felt that if Andy chanted a spell, even if he couldn't resist it, he could still dodge it.

But Andy cast the spell so fast that he had no time to react.

"I should have given him an Oblivion Charm!"

Lockhart said bitterly: "Just like those people, they can forget everything with just one forgetting spell."

But just after saying this, Lockhart sighed in defeat, his voice a little panicked, "No, too many people saw that I was knocked down, and now everyone in the castle knows about it. new"

"I can't possibly cast the Oblivion Charm on all of them."

"what do I do?"

"I had to do something to regain my lost reputation."

"And this must not be allowed to spread outside the castle."

Lockhart was in a panic. He didn't know what he should do to save his endangered reputation.

He couldn't even prove himself.

Because except for the Forgetting Curse, he couldn't cast any magic normally.

"Forgetting Curse!?" The little beetle in the corner was extremely excited at this moment.

What did she hear?

Combined with the speculations Andy mentioned in the letter, Rita Skeeter instantly figured out the entire truth of the matter.

New 𝗰𝗼𝗺

Lockhart's adventures were the stories of others, whom he heard stories from, cast amnesia spells on, and finally made those stories his own.

Big news!

Rita Skeeter believed that as long as she exported this information, not only would Lockhart's reputation be completely ruined, but the Knights of Merlin and the Anti-Dark Arts Association would also be affected.

Because they believed a liar.

Having gotten the information she wanted, Rita Skeeter had no interest in watching Lockhart continue to go crazy - even though that was fun.

She would return to the newspaper office overnight, write the article, and then publish it in the Daily Prophet tomorrow morning.

That will definitely shock the entire British magical world.

Even Fudge has to thank her, because Fudge is now almost driven crazy by the public opinion in the wizarding world.

This was the first time Azkaban had been attacked since it was used as a wizarding prison - and Fudge was the current Minister of Magic.

This made many people think that Fudge was incompetent.

Rita Skeeter was beside herself with joy.

…

Early the next morning, Andy saw the headline he wanted in the newspaper.

Lockhart is finally making headlines.

Hermione also leaned next to Andy and read the newspaper with Andy.

"Lockhart has been trying to find out other people's adventure stories for many years. After getting these materials, he will cast a forgetting spell on them to make them forget these things..."

The little witch whispered: "Lockhart turned those adventure stories into his own experiences, and then wrote them into books to gain huge profits and fame..."

"Even the Knights of Merlin and the Anti-Dark Arts Association were deceived by him. Not only is Lockhart not an adventurer, he is even a dark wizard himself. Maybe the attack in Azkaban is also related to him..."

"Of course, I don't think he has this ability. Lockhart can't even defeat a second-year wizard in class. His magical ability is only slightly stronger than that of Squib. He may be just a slave of those people..."

"Beyond that, I have to wonder if Albus Dumbledore, the principal of Hogwarts, is really old and confused. He has recruited a parallel professor for two consecutive years, and the children are in Hogwarts." Can Ci really get a good education?"

After reading this, Hermione's face looked a little unhappy, "How could she say that about Professor Dumbledore?"

Andy said calmly: "Because this is the fact. Quirrell is a Death Eater, and Lockhart is a liar."

Hermione retorted: "Perhaps Professor Dumbledore was just deceived by them."

"That's why I say he is old and confused!"

Andy spread his hands and said: "The greatest wizard of the 20th century was very shrewd when he was young. But now that he is over one hundred and ten years old, it is normal for him to not be so clear-headed."

"You can't say that Dumbledore deliberately hired Quirrell and Lockhart even though he knew they had problems, right?"

I have to say, this is a dead end.

Dumbledore couldn't refute it at all. He could only acquiesce that he was an old fool and couldn't say anything else.

Andy felt that he had shown mercy.

At least Andy didn't tell Rita Skeeter about the fight between Gryffindors and Slytherins.

"All right!"

Hermione felt that she had no reason to refute Andy's words, so she put down the newspaper. Hermione suddenly changed the topic, "Although Ms. Skeeter has some aesthetic problems, she is really capable. She only spent one night. Just found out all the details about Lockhart."

"She's simply more powerful than an Auror!"
