Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 205: The emperor’s self-cultivation
Lockhart is very depressed now. Originally acting well, even he himself almost believed that he was no longer Guidro Lockhart. But who knows, the director tore up the script when his great show just started!
At first, because of Maca's stimulation, Lockhart finally found his direction in life after a period of confusion.
Whether it is to make up for the magic knowledge from the beginning, or to reform and no longer use the oblivion curse, all of this is because he wants to have a truly his own adventure story.
In order to have enough time to replenish his strength, he even chose to throw away all the false reputations in the past, away from the hustle and bustle of the magic world, and lived peacefully in the Muggle world for more than a year.
To say that Lockhart's talent is actually very good, he is a little clever and very good at making plans. However, the vanity he developed since childhood made him never able to persevere and work hard-because he felt that since it is very likely that he could not be the top one, it would be better not to do it.
However, he is eager to get attention.
When he was a student at Hogwarts, he did all kinds of "stupid things" in order to gain attention. For example, he has tried his best to win various awards, although his little tricks are always seen through; for example, he once applied to the principal to start a school newspaper, and this is just to let everyone see his name. In the newspaper...
After all the ideas failed, he even worked hard to create a magic spell, projecting his own portrait like the Dark Mark into the sky above Hogwarts.
He was sure that it was the first time he was so devoted to something--though it didn't help much.
Now, when he was finally awakened by Maca and really made up his mind to delve into magic, he picked up many spells that he had learned before and quickly became unfamiliar, and they were firmly imprinted in his mind. Among.
It was a boring exercise over and over again, yes, this feeling...it was exactly the same as repeating the practice day and night in order to make good use of the forgetting spell.
When Maca sent him a letter inviting him to participate in a certain project, he left to find Maca without saying a word. Halfway through, his mind was full of beautiful visions for the future.
"I, Guidro Lockhart, will finally become a celebrity? Can I finally write an adventure story that truly belongs to me?"
He was so excited about it that he even left the danger behind.
He was originally a Ravenclaw, but at the time, he even thought he was already a brilliant Gryffindor for his passion!
Lockhart still clearly remembers that on the morning when the second event of the Triwizard Tournament started, he drank the first compound decoction prepared for him by Maca, and then leisurely stayed at Hogg. Woz had breakfast in the auditorium.
"I'm Maca McLean now...yes, that McLean who has been expressionless all day!" He bet that his acting skills have broken through the sky, even that of Durmstrand's The professor didn't notice the slightest problem.
But... this old guy, when is he going to chat next to him? In a while, Barty, who is pretending to be Barty Crouch, is coming to look for him!
Or, why isn’t that guy coming?
He can't wait to go over to the competition site now and drag Batty over forcibly!
No, he can’t show an anxious expression. This will make him show his feet and make his wonderful performance turn into a bubble. He has to be calm and composed...
It was as if Merlin heard the call from his heart. Not long after that long-winded Professor Orson left, Barty appeared!
"Oh-this kid's acting skills are not bad!" Lockhart looked at Barty Crouch, who was acting like him, and thought excitedly, "Next, it's time to ...What did McLean say before? Um...the acting skills of each other?"
He pretended not to see Batty's figure, with a very natural movement, he picked up the napkin on the side of the plate and wiped his mouth, then stood up the fake box on the table.
"McLean, the game is about to begin... You, as a Warrior, should be ready to enter the field as soon as possible." Of course, Barty Jr. is very familiar with his father-it's just such a fake and serious appearance. Incorrect.
"Oh, of course—I'm going to go there!" Lockhart nodded reservedly, "Mr. Crouch, aren't you sick? Are you okay?"
—Yes, absolutely! This is what McLean smells like when he speaks!
"Excuse me, it's okay, I've already let...well, Weatherby go back." Little Barty strained his face, speaking in a business-like manner.
——Yes, that old man can’t remember Percy Weasley’s name. Is he dementia?
"Please! Warriors are already in the resting place..."
Little Batty said one last thing, then turned around and walked out of the auditorium first.
——Yes, you have to twist your hips while walking, and treat yourself as one! Wait... Damn, if the old man gave it, where did I come from?
The two Xibei products who also drank the compound decoction had the same colorful inner activities. One of them is eager to win the praise of the master, and the other is determined to win the honor, so both of them are doing their best to perform roles, and they will never slacken for a moment.
"Mr. Crouch, I think...some things we must talk about first..."
——The main show is about to begin! How about the soundtrack? Where is my exclusive bgm?
"...Yes, about this ‘riot’." Lockhart tried to make his voice magnetic, somber and unique.
"What are you talking about? What's the riot?" Little Batty looked back, frowning and showing a puzzled look, as if he really didn't understand.
"Stop acting, no one here hears-we have to talk so that we don't go wrong then!" Lockhart said impatiently, learning the brutal way Maca and Barty talked that night. Understand?"
"I don't know what you are talking about..." Little Barty frowned, pretending to be inexplicable.
Right! It's now! right now! —— Lockhart yelled in his heart, quickly drew the wand out of his sleeve, and pressed it against Barty’s abdomen.
"I don't know what I'm talking about? Then do I need to remember it for you, eh?" Lockhart tilted his neck and looked at him with slanted eyes, "Minibus--"
"Enough! Alright!" Little Batty dropped her shoulders suddenly, lowered her voice, "Don't call my name here! Okay, let's talk, talk about... this Come on..."
——Liquid! It's a success! I am the movie king of the magic world! I am the winner of the best actor award for bafta in the British magical world!
has lived in the colorful Muggle world for a year and a half, Lockhart is a real Muggle in a wizard's skin.
avoiding the occasional students along the way, Lockhart followed Batty to the rose garden on the side of the castle.
"Okay, then I will make a long story short--" Little Batty leaned close to Lockhart and whispered, "The Kamera in the labyrinth I have already prepared the hands and feet according to the master's instructions. Wait After you go in for a while, find Harry Potter as soon as possible, and find a way to get him there!"
"When the time is almost time, you use that curse to provoke the curse on the Kameramon, and then..."
Little Barty speaks very fast, but Lockhart's hands are not slow after years of training.
"Fat out!"
There was a sudden flash of fire among the two people who were very close, and Barty's words were immediately interrupted. Then, his eyes widened, he collapsed on the ground in disbelief and passed out into a coma.
"Get it done!"
Lockhart clapped his hands happily and grinned habitually, revealing a pair of neatly white teeth.
But he still doesn't seem to be relieved. In order to be foolproof, he stretched out his wand and added a coma spell to Little Batty, which led him to sneak into the forbidden forest...
When Lockhart was at school, the Forbidden Forest was a place where students were not allowed to enter at will. Now, although he was a lot bolder-he even dared to fight Death Eaters, but once he put aside his vanity, he was still a little timid.
Lockhart didn't go too deep, so he stayed on the edge of the forbidden forest, sinking his heart and waiting for Maca to appear.
One hour has passed, two hours have passed, three hours have passed... Yes, the game should be over, right? So, McLean is coming, right?
However, a little bit of time passed, and soon it was dark, but there was not even the slightest movement in the forest.
"Where did he go? Why is he not here?"
It has been very cold recently, and the dense tree canopy can't cover the roar of the cold wind. Soon, Lockhart was so cold that his teeth trembled and shivered~IndoMTL.com~He rubbed his arm, and from time to time he would add a coma spell to Barty-Merlin is on! It was the first time he felt what it was like to be "cold and hungry".
In his career as a "writer", he has used this word more than once, but until now, he has not understood the true feeling of this word!
"Maybe...this is also a part of the adventure story?" Lockhart sneezed, then shrank his head, then gritted his teeth and gave Barty one more time, "fainted! "
If this is the case, then bear with it! In order to make future works more exciting, this kind of material is also necessary!
"Snee--" He sneezed again, then leaned weakly on the tree trunk, "Heroes are really not so good!"
……
"What happened later?" Under Maca's brief and vivid explanation, Sirius seemed to be interested, "Be more specific..."
"If you were more specific, Harry and the others would have to be impatient..." Maca smiled and said, "Anyway, I went to the Forbidden Forest and got rid of Barty. After all, he This kind of Death Eater who followed Voldemort with all his heart is always a scourge."
