Hogwarts Mysterious Man Resurrected

After Lockhart agreed to teach the two of them how to learn magic.

In order to express his gratitude to Professor Lockhart, Harry took the initiative to stay with Hermione to help Professor Lockhart write a reply to his fans.

Faced with a free labor force, Lockhart was naturally happy to keep him.

Let him and Hermione write to themselves together.

Time passed little by little.

Most of the letters on several people's desks have also disappeared.

Lockhart had long stopped writing and was flipping through an unknown book.

Seeing this, Hermione's heart moved, she put down the pen in her hand, and asked Lockhart curiously.

"Professor, after reading your book, I discovered that you have been to many places for adventure."

"Then you must know many kinds of magical animals."

Hearing this, Harry raised his head and glanced at Hermione, then lowered his head and continued to reply to the letter.

But Lockhart still looked at the book in his hand, without raising his head, and replied to Hermione casually.

"I do know many kinds of magical animals. What would Miss Granger want to know?"

Hermione felt happy and could hold back her excitement.

"I wonder if the professor has ever seen a giant snake that can grow to more than ten meters?"

"Snake" Lockhart chewed on the word, the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

Because she lowered her head, Hermione didn't see the depth in his eyes.

It seemed that the magical animals Hermione mentioned were too rare. Lockhart thought for a while.

He closed the book in his hand and looked at Hermione quite seriously.

This seriousness made Hermione's heart skip a beat, and her expression became a little nervous.

"Where did you hear about this giant snake that can grow to more than ten meters long?"

"Professor, I can vouch for Hermione. When we were in the secret room that day, we saw with our own eyes a snake skin that was more than ten meters long. It was really big."

Harry next to him saw something was wrong in the atmosphere, and was afraid that Lockhart wouldn't believe them, so he quickly explained to Hermione.

Hermione opened her mouth, wanting to explain a few words, but she was also afraid that Lockhart wouldn't believe her and thought she was talking nonsense.

"No, how could I not believe that there are giant snakes more than ten meters long in this world?"

Who knew that Lockhart would say something like this instead.

This statement stopped both Harry and Hermione.

If Professor Lockhart believes Hermione, then why

The two of them looked at Lockhart in confusion.

But Lockhart did not answer them directly.

He stood up and went to the bookshelf nearby.

After rummaging around, I finally pulled out a thick book from a mezzanine.

Lockhart picked it up, turned around and placed it on the table.

Put it aside and said to Harry and Hermione while reading the book.

"I was just curious before, where did you know about the giant snake that is more than ten meters long?"

"But I don't doubt your intentions at all."

"Actually, if I guess correctly, the giant snake that is more than ten meters long that Miss Granger mentioned has not appeared in Britain for hundreds of years."

Lockhart looked a little strange at this time, especially his eyes.

There is a hint of light hidden deep in it.

"What is that, Professor?" But the anxious Harry didn't notice Lockhart's strange expression. Even Hermione focused on the book in front of Lockhart.

Lockhart chuckled and slowly opened the book.

"It's a snake-like magical creature with an emerald green body."

"Legend has it that it comes from a magic egg laid by a seven-year-old rooster when Sirius was in the sky, and hatched by a toad. Its sight is the most dangerous attacking weapon. Any creature that directly meets its gaze will be killed immediately."

Having said this, Lockhart looked at the two of them and uttered the last words with a serious face.

"There are no exceptions and its lifespan is extremely long. It can live for hundreds of years."

Harry looked at Lockhart's emotionless eyes and felt that the professor today was quite strange.

He smiled cheekily.

"But how is this possible, Professor?"

"Could it be that a giant snake more than ten meters long must be a basilisk?"

"Nothing is impossible, Harry." Hermione interjected, "I have been looking through the books in the library these days, trying to figure out what kind of animal that giant snake skin could be."

"But I searched for a long time and found that except for a certain kind of magical creature, there is no other animal that can match the more than ten meters long snake skin."

"And that animal is"

"basilisk"

Lockhart continued Hermione's words.

"They haven't been seen in Great Britain for more than 400 years."

"And this is why I feel very confused when you ask about a creature like me."

"Because it has disappeared for a long time, so long that it is not something that young wizards of your age should know."

Lockhart turned around and put his hands behind his back, with a hint of inexplicable meaning in his tone.

"professor"

"There you are, Percy."

"Yes, I'm here, Professor"

In a certain empty classroom, Percy came here according to the instructions.

What he saw was Professor Lockhart, who had his back turned to him.

A flash of gratitude flashed deep in his eyes.

Be grateful for Professor Lockhart's treatment.

Normally he wouldn't be like this.

But since he was beaten by Ron when he blocked the Gryffindor party that day.

His reputation within Gryffindor House was already notorious.

No one thought highly of him, they all laughed at him.

Said that Percy was not worthy of being a Gryffindor prefect. He was not even comparable to his younger brother Ron Weasley.

There were many more words like this, which made Percy feel extremely ashamed and humiliated.

He never thought that he would have such a day.

He has always tried to be himself, study hard, and be a role model for his family.

In fact, Percy has proved himself, with excellent grades, excellent moral character and academic performance, a good student in the eyes of professors, and a big boy who is worry-free and relieved in the eyes of his parents.

But now, everything is ruined.

Destroyed that day

Is it so difficult to ask them to abide by school rules?

All he did was maintain the rules of Gryffindor House to prevent Gryffindor from being deducted points.

Just in case their Gryffindors were overtaken by other houses.

But why doesn't anyone understand his painstaking efforts?

Why do I get criticized by them wherever I go?

In the past few days, Percy's inferiority complex was entangled with his desire for fame.

He didn't want to be like this anymore, he didn't want to be laughed at, he didn't want to be looked down upon.

He didn't even want to be compared to his younger brother, Ron Weasley.

Although it was only a few days, it felt like a year to Percy.

For the first time, he felt lonely, lonely without anyone to accompany him.

he is confused

Until today's Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

The note that Professor Lockhart thrust into him

Percy knew he had a new purpose.

He also wanted to be a wizard like Professor Lockhart.
