Harry Potter’s Strongest Senior

Lockhart's grades at Hogwarts were only average, but he showed off more than the top students, which was why the professors didn't like him.

After graduation, he was even more obsessed with the pursuit of vanity, fame and fortune, and his magic level did not improve at all. Except for the memory spells, which he worked hard to study, other magics even regressed.

Magic, in addition to talent, also pays attention to practice makes perfect. Lockhart has not practiced for more than ten years, and his hands are already weak, but this does not hinder his self-confidence.

In the Leaky Cauldron, Sean took the "Daily Prophet" ordered by old Tom, hid in the utility room, and was lazy, reading the newspaper and eating a cream cake.

"Missing Person, John Houdini, male, Wiltshire, short gray hair, wide mandible, retarded, Squib..."

"The mandible is wide and mentally retarded. It's quite characteristic. I hope he's okay." Sean thought to himself, and then he saw a piece of news about Lockhart.

"Best-selling author Gilderoy Lockhart will hold a book signing event at the Lichen Bookstore in Diagon Alley on August 18."

There is also a handsome photo of Lockhart under the text.

"Hey, this guy is really greasy." Xiao En muttered in disgust.

At this moment, Old Tom called Sean loudly downstairs. Sean put down the newspaper and lazily wiped the cream from the corners of his mouth. He reluctantly went downstairs and became a laborer.

When Sean left, an extremely thin figure appeared in his room. It was a house elf.

Dobby rummaged through Sean's small room, as if looking for something.

Lucius was severely taught by Voldemort. He didn't expect the notebook to be such an important thing, and he was anxious to get it back.

But before he went to the Leaky Cauldron to look for it himself, Sean lied to him that he had lost his notebook. Although Lucius was very angry at the time, he didn't realize the seriousness of the matter.

Five days ago, he sent Dobby to find a notebook in Sean's room at Hogwarts. Hogwarts has restrictions on apparating human wizards, but house-elves can come in and out at will.

It happened that Hogwarts was on vacation, and Dobby searched every corner furtively in Sean's bedroom. Fortunately, Sean put the wizard's heart back in Merlin's Chamber of Secrets, otherwise there might be troubles.

He didn't find the notebook at Hogwarts, and then Dobby came to the Leaky Cauldron. After searching, he still couldn't find anything. He knew that he would be scolded or even beaten severely when he went back.

"I just said that since last night, I feel weird around me. It turns out that there are uninvited guests."

Suddenly, Sean stood at the door without making a sound, and caught Dobby squarely.

Apparition can suddenly appear in a certain place, but that place must be visited before and clearly remembered.

As a house-elf, Dobby was rarely taken out by Lucius. Lucius looked down on cheap places like the Leaky Cauldron. He had never brought Dobby here before, but he bought it in Diagon Alley many years ago. I took Dobby once when I was doing stuff.

Relying on memory, Dobby Apparated to Diagon Alley, then cast an invisibility spell on himself and sneaked into the Leaky Cauldron.

But when it came in, Sean's part-time job was over, and he had been staying in the utility room, and Dobby didn't have a chance to go in.

Just now, Sean was called downstairs to work by Old Tom. The moment he opened the door, Dobby slipped in. He lifted the invisibility spell, but was caught by Sean.

Dobby was taken aback, nervously trying to Apparate away, but Sean wasn't going to let it just go.

"All petrification." Sean's petrification spell was cast almost instantly.

And Apparition takes about one second to activate, before it is activated, it is easy to be interrupted, even if it is a simple petrification spell. Sean stepped forward in two steps and tightly grasped Dobby's skinny arm, asking with vicious eyes.

"Thief, your name is Dobby, right?"

The magic resistance of the house elves is higher than that of ordinary human wizards. Dobby was only petrified by the petrification spell, but only one arm was petrified.

"I'm not a thief." Dobby nervously defended himself. "I'm just here to get back the notebook that Master gave you last summer."

Sean's face changed when he heard this, "The notebook is a sensitive thing. Lucius hadn't looked for it for almost a year, and suddenly he asked Dobby to come. Could it be that he discovered that the notebook is a Horcrux?"

Sean hadn't guessed correctly that Lucius wanted the notebook simply because Voldemort wanted it.

"I told Lucius a long time ago that the notebook is lost." Sean said.

"Dobby has searched all over your dormitory and here, but can't find it. Dobby also thinks it's lost, but the master must want it." Dobby said.

Dobby didn't know anything about the notebook. He thought it was just a notebook, and things like notebooks should be kept by his side, but he searched all over the area around Sean, but couldn't find it.

Listening to Dobby's words, Sean didn't think there was anything wrong at first, but suddenly found an important message in this sentence.

"What? You've been to my dormitory?" Sean asked in surprise. He knew that house elves were not restricted by Hogwarts' Apparation, but he didn't expect Lucius to send Dobby to the school.

"Dobby has nothing to do, this is the master's order." Dobby stared at Sean innocently with his big watery eyes.

"It's a good thing that Lucius didn't know that the notebook was in the Room of Requirement, otherwise he would have succeeded with this trick." Sean thought fearfully.

Lucius didn't know that the Horcrux Notebook was in the Room of Requirement, but Voldemort knew that the Horcrux Diadem was in the Room of Requirement.

Voldemort was almost able to sit at home, and the Horcrux was delivered to the door.

There was no way he didn't know that house-elves had the ability to come and go Hogwarts at will, but he'd rather find his way into Hogwarts himself than ask Dobby to.

This starts with Voldemort's attitude towards house-elves. He believes that house-elves are a lowly and dirty species during the period when he ruled the British wizarding world.

The living conditions of the house elves have fallen to the bottom, they are not as good as pigs and dogs, endless work, no rest, and some abuse and beating anytime and anywhere.

Voldemort hadn't looked at house-elves, and thus ignored their abilities, and even if he knew Dobby could Apparate to Hogwarts, he couldn't have let a house-elf touch his Horcruxes.

House-elves were dirty and untrustworthy, so he didn't hesitate to ask Dobby to help him, he would rather go himself.

When he was on the train during the holiday, Sean thought that the notebook was gone, and Dobby would probably not go to Harry, but he didn't expect Dobby to come to him.

"Why is Lucius looking for a notebook again?" Sean asked.

"Dobby can't tell, Dobby can't reveal everything about the Malfoys." This was the bondage the master had on the house-elf, even if it didn't use any magic.

"Sean, what are you talking about, I've been calling you for a long time." Old Tom downstairs began to urge again.

"Understood, come right away."

Taking advantage of the moment when Sean turned his head to reply, Dobby shook off Sean's hand, and Apparated away from the Leaky Cauldron.

"Damn it." Sean cursed secretly.

Dobby didn't go back to Malfoy Manor immediately. After escaping from the Leaky Cauldron, he went to Privet Drive. He wanted to see Harry Potter, the hero who defeated the You-Know-Who.
