Hogwarts: Start in Azkaban

"Yes, yes, what do you think of Professor Lockhart?"

Hermione changed the subject without leaving a trace. She, she didn't want to be a bad woman who ruined other people's relationships. Besides, things like relationships aren't all smooth sailing. As long as Cassandra quarrels with Chu He, then she will be on her own. It's justifiable to attack Chu He. The first school year is not long since the start of the school, and he still has a great chance.

"Lockhart, I suspect that his legends are all deceptive. Even to be polite, his strength is difficult to survive in the hands of werewolves and other creatures. You can also see that he can stand there. If he misses, if he really encounters dangerous magical creatures, those magical creatures will not give him a second chance."

"But...but what's written in those books is very, very real. If he hadn't experienced it himself...how could he have written such a real sense of picture?"

Hermione was a little disappointed, but she was more inclined to believe Chu He's judgment. After all, what Chu He said was very reasonable. In the previous magical duel, Lockhart's performance was really unsatisfactory.

"Well, there is a reasonable explanation, but it's just my personal speculation."

"Tell me tell me."

Hermione looked at Chu He curiously.

"Do you know the Pensieve?"

Chu He asked.

"Knowing, it is the kind of memory that can store excess memory in the brain, which can be used to analyze the huge thoughts stored in it in free time or recall those memories through situational reproduction. People who enter the Pensieve to read the memory will not be noticed by the original owner of the memory. arrive……"

"Ah! Are you saying that Lockhart visited wizards who had been through these things, begging them to share their adventures, and to watch the stories through the Pensieve in a way that third parties couldn't be harmed?"

Hermione guessed suddenly.

"I think it's possible, although I can't be 100% sure. If we really want to know, we can check to see if there is a Pensieve in Professor Lockhart's personal belongings."

Chu He shrugged.

"Yes, but if he stole the memories of other wizards to write books, why didn't those wizards come out to break him down?"

Hermione was a little puzzled.

"It may be that Lockhart used an oblivion spell on them to make them forget their relevant memories, and because they didn't know, they didn't come out to expose him."

"Well...then, why did the wizards want to share these memories with him..."

Hermione still couldn't let it go, after all, Lockhart was her former idol.

"Look at this."

Chu He took out the Order of Merlin 1st class from his pocket and waved the green sash in front of Hermione.

"My God!!! It's the First Class Medal of the Order of Merlin, a Medal of Honor that is usually only awarded to dead people, and you got it at the age of nine!"

Hermione covered her mouth admiringly.

"Look, if I come to visit you politely at this time, it means that I am very interested in your past adventures. Would you like to share it with me?"

Chu He asked.

"Of course I do! Those who can receive the Merlin Order of Merlin have made great contributions in the wizarding world. If such people want to share my proud memories with me, of course I am willing!"

Hermione answered without hesitation.

"That's why most wizards value glory. When a famous wizard comes to visit him, he will more or less relax his vigilance, thinking that this person is famous and won't sneak up on him."

"And then when they finished sharing their memories, Lockhart was able to sneak up on them with an oblivion spell while saying compliments, well, of course this is just my subjective assumption, I can't say that Lockhart did this, it's just one of them possibility."

Chu He shrugged. He had seen the award record when he went to Wizengamore to receive the Order of Merlin First Class. Among them, Gilderoy Lockhart had won a Third Class Order of Magic, so he came to the above conjecture. .

Of course, it is also possible that Lockhart is very good at Legilimency, forcibly read the relevant adventures from the memory of others, and then uses the forgetting spell to make the other party forget.

But as far as Lockhart's wand control level is concerned, he thinks it's hard to hit people without sneak attack, so Chu He is more inclined to the first guess.

"Hey, I didn't expect him to be such a person, disillusioned."

Hermione looked sad. As someone who likes books very much, she was attracted by the wonderful adventures in Lockhart's book, but now she learned that what was written in her idol book was written in large part from others through despicable means. The memories she gained made her feel very sad.

"I don't dare to assert now, do you want to investigate?"

"Eh? But secretly investigating the professor's privacy is a very excessive thing, if it is discovered..."

Hermione froze for a moment and said hesitantly.

But she herself is quite adventurous, not to mention with Chu He, so she is a little bit looking forward to it.

"Don't worry, as long as you don't get discovered, you won't be punished. I happen to have an illusion spell that can make people invisible. At Lockhart's level, they can't see through my spell."

Chu He answered confidently.

After all, Lockhart pretended to force himself in front of him before, and even if he lost the fight, he boasted that he let him go, so even if Lockhart gave Slytherin extra points, he was very unhappy with Lockhart.

"Then, let's try it out."

In the end, curiosity and trust in Chu He prevailed, Hermione demanded.

"Well."

Chu He took out his chestnut wand, and the tip of the wand lightly tapped on Hermione's shoulder, and then Hermione felt a cold magic gushing out from the tip of Chu He's wand like a liquid, and then quickly covered his body.

"Is this the Illusory Body Curse?"

Hermione whispered excitedly, she had never been exposed to this spell, and generally only students above sixth grade could master this spell, but she never thought that she would be able to experience the actual effect of using it in first grade.

"Yeah, in principle, our body is integrated with the surrounding environment through magic coverage, which is similar to the chameleon in the Muggle world, but the disguise of the Disillusionment Charm is far more than that of Muggle chameleons."

As Chu He spoke, he pointed the tip of his wand on himself, and cast an illusion spell on himself.

The two then walked towards the outside of the Hogwarts library.

While passing by the librarian, Ima Erpins, Hermione waved mischievously at Mrs. Pins, and then made a cute face, but Mrs. Pins did not respond to her behavior, because she did not look at it. Missing Hermione.

PS: I'm sorry everyone, I fell asleep in the morning after insomnia last night, and I didn't wake up until 4 o'clock, so I didn't have time to update in the morning, and I wrote this chapter immediately after waking up. . *
