A Certain Hogwarts Magician Professor

Chapter 68: Lockhart's trouble

   In the following two days, the campus was calm, but there was an undercurrent surging in the dark—

   Rita Skeeter’s firepower was all concentrated on Lockhart. After many years, the two once again had a fight in the newspaper.

   They are both well-known writers, and each has a huge readership, so their news is the hottest nowadays.

   And in the scraps of the newspaper, the doubts about Dumbledore's inability to deal with the attack on the chamber began to appear sporadically, and Felix smelled the taste of conspiracy from it.

   Reminiscent of the conversation between Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall in the secret room, he almost realized what was going on.

   It is nothing more than some pure-blooded families who have launched a public opinion offensive in an attempt to bring down Dumbledore. But everything can only be useless, the basilisk is dead, it just didn't reveal it.

   Dumbledore wanted to fish, and settle the trouble once and for all, then just let him, Felix was not interested in it.

   In the last class before the holiday, he took the parchment paper given by Professor McGonagall and explained some precautions according to the book.

   "Don't cast spells outside of school, and don't bring teaching aids home, you know what I mean."

The little wizards under    laughed.

   At noon, when Felix walked into the auditorium, he unexpectedly saw Lockhart standing at the door. He just wanted to pretend not to see it, but Lockhart held him back.

   "Professor Lockhart?" He had to stop.

   Lockhart said to him anxiously, "Professor Haipu, we need to talk."

   The two walked into the dark corner in front of the hall.

   "Professor Haipu, since we are colleagues, you have to help me, the woman Skeeter is going to drive me crazy!"

   Felix asked curiously: "What's the matter?"

   "That woman frantically spread rumors in the newspaper, desperately trying to corrupt my reputation. She even slandered me, saying that my adventures were all fake, my God! What a ridiculous remark!"

   Felix looked at him strangely.

   "Yeah, you think it's ridiculous too, right? You can't doubt me just because I have a good appearance. I didn't use a smile to drive away Wanlun's female ghost!" He cleared his throat in annoyance.

   "Professor Lockhart," Felix interrupted him, "Please tell me directly."

"Oh, ah... well, that's it—" His tone became hesitant, "I think that the quarrel between me and that woman does not need to occupy public resources. Maybe we can communicate privately... negotiate and resolve... "

   "But what does it have to do with me?"

"Come on, Professor Haipu. I know what that woman is like. She won't let you go lightly. In her mind, you are a great news material!" Lockhart said shrewdly, "I want me Say, what big person did you say hello to her..."

   Felix thought, you are really a talent, you can think of it.

   He retorted, “I’m not familiar with her, but I heard Principal Dumbledore mention by chance that around the holidays, the school will announce a big news, and some reporters will be invited to participate, maybe she will come too.”

"Really?" Lockhart's eyes lit up, "I need to talk to Dumbledore... Thank you very much, Professor Haipu, if you have any needs in the future, just come to me. I heard that you have an interest in ancient magic. Research, it happens that I know some knowledge in this area."

   "Let's talk about it." Felix said happily.

   Lockhart didn't pay attention to his attitude, he happily said goodbye, apparently going directly to Dumbledore.

   "By the way, Professor Lockhart, I heard about your wand..." He wanted to know if Dumbledore had removed the smell when he handed it over.

   He was very curious about this.

   "Oh, you also know if it's really bad behavior. If you want me to say, it's light to keep him in confinement for three weeks... That reckless Wetherby."

   On the other side, Ron returned angrily to the common room.

   "You shouldn't stop me, Harry—" Ron said, who had just had another fight with Percy.

   Harry was not happy. They had solved the basilisk in the secret room, but at the request of Dumbledore, they had to endure for a few days and postpone the honor until the beginning of the new semester.

   This makes his situation not much changed, even Ron is still carrying a confinement.

   But Harry still persuaded Ron to say, "If you want to start, if all goes well, after Christmas, we can get Malfoy to be punished, and then all the troubles will be solved together!"

   His words made Ron feel better, "That's right, I really hope Christmas comes soon."

   Immediately, he said happily, "Harry, that's a special contribution award. No one in our family has ever won it, not even Bill! When I get the trophy, I must hit Percy in the face."

   On the other side of the table, Hermione had been writing and drawing on the parchment, and did not participate in their discussion.

   "Hermione, what are you doing?"

   Hermione lifted her head from the parchment. She sighed, "I'm planning the transformation of the beaded pouch. Hey, it's too difficult."

   Harry asked her with interest, "Is it the little bag that can release the devil's vine?"

"Yes, the basilisk in the secret room caused some damage to it. Professor Haipu and I applied to allow me to complete the repair work independently. But it is much more troublesome than I thought, even if I watched the professor from the beginning to the end. Made from the end..."

   Harry couldn't help but ask a few more questions. The little witch enthusiastically taught the two the basic concepts of ancient magic texts. Harry and Ron were dizzy, and the two talked about it tacitly.

   In the evening, Felix took out his diary and wrote and drew on it again.

"Hagrid was taken away. I don't know if I did the right thing. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com" Felix wrote. Of course it was a flicker. He also cleaned up the prepared Christmas presents in the afternoon. Including Hagrid's.

A string of dragons and phoenixes appeared in the diary of   , "You are doing the right thing. Believe me, the attack will definitely stop, and you are the biggest hero."

   Felix "unmoved" said, "I will not believe what you say easily, I will always be vigilant!"

   "Of course, if the attack happens again, you can hand me over." The diary wrote.

   Felix turned his pen, "I'm curious, how did you get made? You know, your carrier is just an ordinary book, but it carries a memory for half a century!"

  Diary is not exclusive to this issue, on the contrary, he welcomes it very much. Let's talk, open your heart to me...

   A stream of fluent text quickly poured out on the page, "That involves very profound magic. If you are interested, I will tell you everything I know."

   So, the one-person one-day notebook communicated in a harmonious and friendly atmosphere.

At first, they discussed a relatively superficial category, but after Felix pointed out his mistakes several times, the diary had to come up with more advanced content, but he was also quite cunning, and many key points were deduced " I didn't inject this part of information back then."

   That night, Felix acquired some skills for storing memories on conventional objects, and some knowledge of bloodline research.

   At the end of the exchange, the diary strongly recommends him a "skill for relaxing the mind". He vowed to say that this technique has the effect of increasing magic power...

   After Felix locked the diary, he couldn't help but mumble, I believe you a ghost.
