Chapter 148 Professor Lockhart’s First Lesson (Incorrect)
“No rush…no rush…”
Lockhart was hiding in a corner, anxiously stuck in time.
He considered several times to appear, and finally chose to appear at ten o'clock.
At that time, there will be almost the most people on the bus and those driving the bus, and then you can create a wave of signatures and deliberately fall behind.
There must be no empty carriages at that time, so I happened to ask everyone one by one, and then showed the kindness of the new professor. Finally, I found Harry Potter. I couldn't find any expression of regret, so I wanted to squeeze in with him.
Then you can get Harry Potter to sign autographs...
Ah, so perfect…
He somewhat admired himself for being able to perfect the journey so quickly after the Ravenclaw student put forward his opinions!
"Compared to a legendary writer like me who carefully manages my character and pen name, that praise potato who announced the suspension of publication is simply too bad..."
While praising himself, he also did not forget to insult his companion - the other party did not even have any adventure experience, and he himself had nothing, not to mention a sweet smile, and even his real name did not appear!
A second-rate... well, first-rate adventure author who relies entirely on Dumbledore's name to get by.
As a successful author, Lockhart had to admit that the other party's writing skills were really novel, and the subject matter was indeed good enough - why didn't he think of Dumbledore as a useful subject matter?
‘It’s almost time. ’
He put on his signature smile, held a suitcase that actually contained nothing in his hand, and walked toward the passageway with a proud look on his face.
Nine and three-quarters, long time no see, now is Lockhart’s legendary moment!
With confidence and calmness, Lockhart crashed directly into the platform.
As he hoped, the witches at the entrance recognized him instantly.
"It's Lockhart!"
"Lockhart?"
"Yes, it's that Lockhart!"
He almost instantly ignited the audience, and some even screamed, "Yes, yes, it's him, Lockhart. He's going to Hogwarts just like he announced!"
Amidst the screams, Lockhart stretched out his fingers, gestured to everyone with a supplicating gesture, and then pressed them with both hands.
Sharper shouts arose, but were quickly silenced.
"I'm very happy to see you, but everyone, please give way and let the students in. I promise that I will be with you before the train starts."
With that said, Lockhart maintained his award-winning smile, shook hands with the crowd, and walked towards the side of the platform - as he passed, the crowd tried hard to squeeze out an aisle for him.
"Lockhart must have learned from Dumbledore this time. It's really touching to see him getting closer to the legend."
"Yeah, after all, that's Dumbledore. Maybe Lockhart can learn the ability to travel through time in the future."
"It would be nice to be able to dig out the treasure. Didn't it spread during the summer vacation? Peeves' treasure was partially discovered by students, but it has not been completely cracked yet."
"Indeed, my children have said so, and so has the library. Lockhart might be able to find everything."
Such a voice came out suddenly and resonated with many people. People began to discuss eagerly. Will Lockhart do something greater than before after this training?
Maybe I can defeat a dragon this time!
After all, I can learn from Dumbledore this time!
‘I knew it would be like this…’
Lockhart now wanted to tear up the manuscript of the guy called Praising Potatoes.
After the publication of Legend of the Generation, although everyone still thinks that the great adventurer Lockhart is great, basic readers have a consensus - compared to Dumbledore, Lockhart is too far behind.
The Great Adventurer tamed a vampire, Dumbledore had a friendly cooperative battle with Gryffindor himself when he was a student - how could this compare?
There's no way to compare, or even to brag like the other person - Lockhart, who was still looking for the snowman before, suddenly traveled through time and space to crush a legion and was canonized as a noble?
What a joke, readers won't buy it, they'll think Lockhart is starting to lie.
This is why I went to Hogwarts - the days when I lived with Harry Potter. Probably only this kind of book can suppress a legend.
He thought about it countless times, and sadly discovered that there were only two ways to break the situation - one was at Hogwarts, and the other was to go to Nurmengard to try to sneak attack Grindelwald.
In order to make the new book look less downtrodden, he had no choice but to do this. Of course, he had to admit that this trip to the professor also had the meaning of riding on the popularity of a legend. Being able to connect with Dumbledore and Harry Potter was the biggest selling point of the new book.
However, it is still equivalent to helping that guy promote it.
Even Lockhart longs for Hogwarts where Dumbledore is, so how many readers will rush to Lockhart to see a legend?
Annoying…
Smile, shake hands, sign autographs, and even have a short conversation to stall for time.
Finally, it’s time!
“Can’t get out!”
Such shouts suddenly came from afar, and then spread like interesting news.
But no one was alarmed - it was just a minor annoyance.
The total number of wizards present is enough to destroy an army. The exit is just faulty. If it were not for fear of causing chaos outside, it would be easy to dismantle it directly.
Lockhart found it amusing - a lively crowd filled the exit to welcome Lockhart, wow, what a title.
He even had time to help maintain order, and then boarded the Hogwarts Express amidst the reluctant eyes of many fans.
‘Perfect, no, perfect beyond imagination! ’
He evaluated his performance in this way, and then according to the planned plan, he started asking if there was any space in the student box on the train to show his affinity.
However, an anxious red-haired boy quickly found him.
"Professor, Professor Lockhart, I'm sorry, my brother and Potter didn't get on the bus!"
‘Didn’t get in the car? ’
‘Where did this idiot come from? The train is about to leave! No, it's already open! ’
'Wait, who? ’
'Potter? What happens to my story when Potter is gone? Damn the passage, it will break sooner or later! ’
"I'll take care of it, just stay here!"
Lockhart is very decisive - the first part of the adventure story is here!
He used his skillful phantom to get under the train - with this tool he could search for stories all over the world, and his proficiency was only under the Forgetting Curse.
Lockhart came to the platform and exit almost non-stop, and then started looking for it.
But after searching around, he couldn't find any shadow that looked like Harry.
Where are people?
Where's Harry Potter when I'm that old?
The cold wind blew by, and he had to continue searching and at the same time began to think about ways to report the news to the school, but he couldn't leave even after reporting the news. He couldn't find Porter to return to school?
Oh, no, he would rather pretend to be responsible until he receives news from Potter.
Fortunately, there is a suitcase.
…
Got off the bus...
Oh…
