Chapter 389 [Movie Viewing] Gilderoy Lockhart

"Mr. Malfoy in our world did not obtain the position of Seeker through his father. Instead, he relied on himself. After his father was imprisoned and the Malfoy family declined, he was still a Seeker, and all Slytherins pooled their money to buy him a Seeker. Put Nimbus 2000."

Seeing Draco apologize sincerely, Dumbledore said in a soothing tone.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Ron's defenses were broken.

He always thought Malfoy was just richer than him.

But now.

Draco, who was still immersed in the fear caused by Bajir, said, "Huh? Isn't 'my' father dead? 'We' - I mean, the Malfoy family in this world has not declined, in fact. Things have gotten even better since there was no father and my mother was in charge of the family business.”

(Because Lucius Malfoy is in jail, Narcissa, who is really in charge of the family business: "Do I still have such potential?")

(She is a little unsure about this because her appearance is not as good as that of her in another world.)

"Also, even if that's the case, I became a Seeker before the decline of this world, right? Dad didn't buy him a broom?"

Dumbledore said, "Because I responded to Lucius's dare to send people to murder the little wizard."

"I used my influence - the Malfoys' shop was closed down and their board seats were taken away."

(Arthur Weasley was a little surprised. If the Dumbledore of their world dared to do this, he would be afraid of Malfoy.)

"After that, I was also responsible for Lucius's six-month sentence in Azkaban. However, contrary to the facts in the eyes of the public and even me, it was actually your mother who was imprisoned for taking Polyjuice Potion."

(Old Crouch: Why does this plan sound so familiar?)

"Lucius, who should have been in prison. Your father was actually kept in the Forbidden Forest by Voldemort as a sacrifice, the source of the curse."

"With no actual person in charge and my previous targeting, the Malfoy family business will naturally decline."

"And the broom. It's the same reason your father was imprisoned, and it has to do with Tom's diary."

(Voldemort: I don’t like Quidditch either, so why does it have to do with me.)

"Unlike the movie, or our world, the diary was not stuffed into Ginny's old textbook by Lucius."

"He used a material full of positive energy such as unicorn tail hair. He spent a lot of money to find an alchemist to make a cover. He put it on the diary and mailed it to Bajir, saying that it was left to him by his father. gift.”

"This cost Lucius a lot of gold galleons. You in this world discovered this. So you only need one to sweep the seven stars."

"You and Harry are equally skilled at Quidditch, but the broomsticks-"

(Lucius Malfoy thought that he was crazy in this world, and caused such an outstanding son to lose to Harry Potter because of the performance of his broom.)

(He dares to be so arrogant because the Dumbledore in his world is cowardly and restrains himself.)

(But this world is obviously different. If it were him, he would definitely surrender immediately.)

"So the classmates pooled their money to buy a Nimbus 2000 for 'me'?" Draco was in a daze.

He never imagined that he would have such a possibility, a possibility to be recognized by his classmates without relying on his father's family background.

"What about Bagir, is he okay?" Ron asked worriedly, thinking about his sister's situation after coming into contact with the diary.

Dumbledore shook his head, "I don't mean to slander Ginny. But that's Bargeer after all."

"He quickly discovered something was wrong, and found the entrance to the secret room with Tom Hsu and Snake in the diary, and finally destroyed the diary with a mutated devil's net that absorbed the basilisk venom."

"After I learned the news, I used my influence again. This is also the source of Lucius's six-month sentence."

"Basilisk?" Neville reacted, "No wonder Xiao Linzheng didn't find the basilisk. It must have fallen into the hands of Bajir."

"Fame is a fickle friend. Celebrities should behave like celebrities. Remember this." In the screen, Lockhart said to Harry earnestly.

Ron raised his eyebrows, "He seems to really regard himself as a teacher."

Dumbledore said, "Because he thinks Harry is the same person as him. In the first year, he became the youngest Seeker of this century, 'claimed' that he defended the Philosopher's Stone and was hospitalized, drove a flying car to school, and took photos with his classmates."

("Harry didn't claim it! The news was spread by the portrait. He really protected the Sorcerer's Stone in front of Voldemort!" Ginny was indignant.)

("This is what Lockhart thinks." Even though he was a world away, Harry appeared in the live broadcast room in time to comfort him.)

"This was all so obvious to him that he was very relaxed in Harry's presence and loved him because it was like he was meeting his younger self - a better version of himself."

"Gilderoy Lockhart."

Dumbledore looked at this in the movie and fell into memories.

Lockhart was indeed a gifted wizard and smarter than most of his classmates.

Many professors admit that as long as they work hard, they will have a great career in the eyes of ordinary people.

But his biggest flaw is that he is unwilling to try unless he is the best.

Always spend time bragging about marketing yourself.

Tell other students that you will make the magic stone before graduation;

Claiming that he could lead England's Quidditch team to win the World Cup, he eventually became Britain's youngest Minister of Magic;

Starting a school newspaper just to see your name printed in it;

Engraving his name on the Quidditch pitch in 20-foot-long letters;

Casting his likeness into the sky like the Dark Mark;

Sending myself 800 Valentine's Day cards and having to cancel breakfast because so much owl droppings and feathers fell into my cereal

After graduation, he became a liar.

He obviously has so much writing skills and can become famous just by writing books, but he insists on taking away other people's lives by relying on his superb forgetting spell and handsome appearance.

Judging from the movie, it seems that he can only forget the curse and return everything he has learned to the teacher.

Dumbledore was extremely sorry.

As an educator, the most regrettable thing is to see a sapling that has the potential to grow into a towering tree, but it has grown crooked halfway.

Rupert's words interrupted his recollection.

"In fact, Harry and the others here actually attended a nearly headless death anniversary dinner. They missed the Christmas party and didn't even eat. Just to save money, they didn't film it, so Harry said he wasn't hungry."

"Aren't you hungry?" Ron wondered, "Isn't there anything to eat at the death anniversary dinner?"

"No." Rupert said, "Ghosts don't eat. The food they prepare is a pile of rotten food. Walk through them and you can barely feel the feeling of eating with your dull senses."

"Harry is really confused!" Ron was a little angry, "He went to the banquet without food. Nick is also really confused. I wonder if there will be living people like us attending?"

The picture of the pensieve came to the stairs.

"Do you think I should tell them? Tell Dumbledore and the others." Harry asked Ron and Hermione.

"Are you crazy?" said Ron.

"No, Harry." Hermione said with a serious face, "Even in the wizarding world, hearing strange noises is not a good sign."

"She's right," said the portrait nearby.

Dumbledore sighed, "This incident tells us that when something happens, we must report it to the teacher."

(Professor McGonagall nods.)

Ron looked hesitant, "This is so Gryffindor."

("Weasley." Snape was furious.)

(He originally thought that Harry Potter was responsible for it in the second grade. He didn’t tell the teacher anything and took risks by himself with the life Lily had sacrificed.)

(But it seems from here that Potter also thought about telling the teacher relevant clues.)

(Only stopped by two big idiots, especially Granger, who didn't understand why she said that.)

"Hermione would have sued the teacher if she had just entered first grade," Neville said.

"By the way," Rupert said, "the word Hermione originally belonged to Ron. Ron played the role of the three who knew more about the slang and customs of the wizarding world. Hermione was originally the word in this conversation. If she didn’t post it, she might want to sue the teacher, but she knew she couldn’t persuade Harry and Ron.”

("I see." Snape nodded.)

Draco said, "Actually, there's no need. We already know the portraits. As we all know, the portraits are all Dumbledore's spies. In fact, Dumbledore already knew it, otherwise why would the basilisk come out clearly, and all the students would be petrified.”

"I suspect that it was Dumbledore's intention that my father contacted other school directors to drive Dumbledore away."

"Because Dumbledore easily kicked my dad off the school board when he came back."

"Maybe." Dumbledore said, "In a world without Bargeer, Harry will have to face a crueler fate. Accepting a safe trial under my care in advance will allow him to adapt in advance and survive successfully in the end. "

Because according to the prophecy, only one of Harry and Voldemort can survive.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became cold.

Everyone looked at the screen again.

In the screen, Professor McGonagall was telling the origin of the secret room.

("Slytherin shouldn't be so bad.")

("What's the real reason?")

(.)

(Countless viewers questioned this.)

(In their minds, Slytherin is more like Snape in the movie. He looks like a bad guy, but is actually a good guy.)

(Some people even called Slytherin directly.)

("The Chamber of Secrets is no longer needed." Slytherin said. "In my imagination, Hogwarts will be in crisis due to the betrayal of Muggle wizards. At that time, my descendants will lead the surviving young wizards to hide in the Chamber of Secrets and awaken them." Basilisk, kill the traitor").

("But history proves that Godric and the others are right.")

("Muggle-born wizards do favor Muggles, but Muggles themselves don't like them because of cultural factors.")

("They can only be members of the wizarding world.")

"So that's it." Draco called out the projection in the live broadcast room.

"This can prove why the basilisk took away Myrtle's life as soon as it came out, beyond Tom's expectation." Dumbledore said, "The purpose of the basilisk is to kill people. All those who are not in the Chamber of Secrets The students are all the traitors it considers.”

"Didn't Voldemort do it on purpose?" Ron wondered.

"He is indeed a dark wizard through and through, cruel and evil." Dumbledore explained, "But he always regarded Hogwarts as his home. At that time, when he was still an orphan, he still needed a good learning environment. He won't let anyone undermine that."

"Myrtle was indeed an accident."

(Voldemort: "He's right. It's disgusting. Even Dumbledore from another world has the insight that he is naked in front of him.")

"Okay." Ron said.

"What's the matter?" Draco frowned. The screen was showing Ron thinking he was the heir of Slytherin, Hermione proposing a plan and going to the library to look up information, "Why do you think I'm the heir of Slytherin? Weasley, we are relatives in some ways."

"Also, didn't you discuss it in private? You are obviously the big names on campus, but you are loudly plotting in the open corridor with so many students walking back and forth."

"The most important thing is why the book that records the method of brewing Polyjuice Potion is not in the restricted book area." As the headmaster of Hogwarts, Dumbledore began to have some concerns about the Hogwarts of that world, "I remember it was "Powerful Potion", you must get a note from the professor to borrow it. How come Miss Granger found it casually."

(Dumbledore: "Normal little wizards can't get all the materials inside. The key materials are dangerous. You need special channels to get them.")

Quidditch was playing on the screen.

Harry, chased by the enchanted Bludger, flew directly into the stands, that is, the audience, passing through a group of Slytherins.

The Bludger followed Harry everywhere, passing through countless buildings, and almost hit the onlookers several times.

Draco closed his eyes, and he remembered the next scene, somersaulting in the air, landing on the ground, bouncing for two and a half weeks, and splitting on the spot.

"Also, it's like this, why doesn't the game stop?" Dumbledore was a little confused, "Why don't the professors take action."

At first, he thought it was just a detail added by the movie director for drama, but judging from the expressions on the faces of Draco and other little wizards from the "movie" world, this was the past in their memories.

"The game was suspended, and the professors were still unwilling to pull out their wands, so it was Miss Granger who took action - a second-year witch."

(Sirius echoed, "Yes, the last ball almost made the Potter family extinct.")

(Madam Pomfrey: "The level of treatment in the school hospital is much higher than you think, Black. Even if it is rotten to mud, I can repair it - Merlin's beard! Stupid Lockhart!")

(The reason why she lost her composure was that Lockhart's so-called healing magic pulled out the bones in Harry's broken arm, making his right hand seem to have turned into rubber.)

"Brackium Emendo." Ron suddenly began to recite Lockhart's spell.

Facing Neville's puzzled expression beside him, Ron explained, "If this spell is used on chicken legs, I can eat faster and more happily."
