Chapter 151 Changes in Professor Lockhart

"Ha, Professor William, your office is really simple -" Lockhart said in an enthusiastic voice, "Well, I always feel that there are some decorations missing, such as my books?"

As Lockhart spoke, he took out one book after another from the small bag he carried.

"I have these -" William was cut off by Lockhart before he could even finish his refusal.

"It doesn't matter, Professor William. Believe me, these are limited edition hardcover books. They can be placed in a conspicuous place even on the bookshelf of a pure-blood family."

Professor Lockhart is full of confidence - but William knows that this is not bragging. The Daily Prophet always spares no effort to introduce this best-selling author, and many famous pure-blood family members even openly express their love for this professor's writings. .

'Just stay, Professor Lockhart's book is still very good, I can't just slap you in the face and say you don't want it...'

After coming out of Azkaban, William finally met someone with a face many times thicker than his - he was completely defeated.

"Well, it's very suitable -" Lockhart nodded with satisfaction, pretending to be casual, "Professor William, it's like this. I heard Professor Flitwick said that you got the crown of Ravenclaw, But there’s some trouble attached to it?”

Before William could make any response, he just took up the conversation, "You know, although it may seem a bit like bragging, I am one of the best adventurers. I have seen countless dangers and solved countless dangers. Traps, I think you need an adventure master like me to help you deal with those problems."

"Of course, of course," Lockhart said at an alarming rate, "This is a small wish of mine, you know, Professor William."

Lockhart showed his impeccable smile, "Every Ravenclaw who studies here, and even every child who studies here, has had the fantasy of that crown. Although I have achieved excellent results since I entered the school, but You know, Professor William, I was just an ordinary student at that time, and I was not just trying to solve a difficult problem, but also trying to fulfill my childhood wish."

Professor Lockhart smiled more and more friendly——

‘But you say it’s so fancy, but it’s not here either. ’

After such a mentality emerged, William immediately discovered something was wrong - 'Why do I have the urge to show things to Professor Lockhart? ’

His wand came out faster than his thoughts could move.

"Collapse!"

"Everything is forgotten!"

The two spells almost flew out at the same time - William cast a spell with all his strength to make up for the armor spell and threw it away. However, although Professor Lockhart arrived at the spell later, he had no time to defend against William's stun spell.

The huge impact almost pierced William's eardrums. Although Professor Lockhart's Oblivion Curse was used hastily, it was more powerful than he imagined.

"Fortunately, I practiced the Iron Armor Charm diligently, and it was only less than the Apparition that went out for special training on weekends. Otherwise, I might have wasted a card." It took a long time to calm down from the loud noise, and William patted it in fear. Chest, "Compared to the system's cards, my own strength is more reliable. What if that thing is a copycat?"

'By the way, Professor Lockhart is indeed a great adventurer. Even my almost sneak attack was counterattacked so quickly -' William affirmed Professor Lockhart in his heart while applauding his previous judgment. "Sure enough, the all-or-nothing approach is still too one-sided. It is too easy to be attacked without a backup plan."

"But I definitely can't withstand a one-on-one confrontation. This forgetting spell is too sophisticated." Getting up from the ground, William looked at Professor Lockhart, and then remembered something important.

'Why should I bring down Professor Lockhart? The rooster incident is over! The crowns have all been found! ’

He covered his head and had a headache - 'Taking down Adams is not a problem, after all, everyone is familiar with it, but what about bringing down Professor Lockhart? Why are you so sensitive even after I found the crown? ’

Breathe, breathe, breathe, breathe...

William adjusted his breathing rate and tried not to think about other things - Azkaban was a huge dyeing vat. He had heard countless dark stories in it, and some illegal operations were easy for him.

‘No, it’s so hard to get from there, why are you still thinking about going in? ’

‘If you do that, do you still have the nerve to teach students? ’

‘Take responsibility, William! ’

Shaking his head, William shook off the story about the former Ministry of Magic amnesiac who was sent to Azkaban. Although he could avoid the blame later with a tap of the wand, that was not what he should do. .

'Go and inform Dumbledore. Tell him honestly that he was neurotic and attacked the visiting professor. The salary increase that Weiwei promised is gone. Then he makes a special trip to apologize to Professor Lockhart and beg Dumbledore to let him participate. Study that crown and things should be sorted out. ’

Having made up his mind, William was ready to wake up Professor Lockhart, and at the same time he had his last glimmer of hope.

'If possible, it would be best to reconcile with Professor Lockhart privately. Although I think it is unlikely, but if it is possible, then there is no need to bother Dumbledore. ’

"Professor Lockhart?"

William called out softly while using his wand to undo the spell - you must have a good attitude, otherwise things will be difficult to handle.

"Ah," after breaking the curse, Lockhart's hand immediately touched the original location of the wand, and then he opened his eyes in pain.

‘It shouldn’t have been too hard—’

While thinking about it, William showed a harmless smile.

"Professor, you're awake. The operation - cough, there was a little accident. I'm really sorry."

"Professor William?"

Professor Lockhart had a look of fear on his face, which made William feel extremely embarrassed - at least he had a decent reason to hit Adams, and he just relied on his intuition to sneak up on Professor Lockhart!

"I'm sorry, Professor Lockhart," William tried to express his sincere apology, "I was too nervous. I'm very sorry that such an accident happened..."

Lockhart ignored William and began to quickly inspect the surrounding environment.

"Still in your office, Professor William."

Professor Lockhart's obviously relieved tone made William blame himself even more - what do you mean your hands are so fast!

"Yes, still in my office, Professor Lockhart, do you feel uncomfortable in any way?"

"It's okay," Lockhart smiled a little reluctantly, "It's okay, don't worry too much about me, Professor William, you didn't inform Professor Dumbledore, right?"

"Not yet," William just said one word, and the next words were interrupted by Professor Lockhart.

"Just don't notify me, don't worry, young people are impulsive. I can understand, of course, you know, Professor William, if you weren't in school, you wouldn't have found such a good opportunity."

This response made William even more embarrassed. He rarely went against his previous idea of ​​not asking the elf for trivial matters.

"Bart, could you please prepare some black tea for me and Mr. Lockhart?"
