Ashes of Hogwarts

Obtaining Ravenclaw's diadem was just a matter of course, it had been hidden in the Room of Requirement.After getting the Resurrection Stone, Ash stopped by and took it out.

Ash would have almost forgotten about it if the atmosphere wasn't just right.

Early the next morning, Ash walked towards Dumbledore's office feeling refreshed and carrying his notebook.

It is better to leave the diary to Dumbledore, so that he can take time to talk to his dear student and tease him when he is bored.

The students I teach are not shabby.

When the stone gatekeeper saw Ash arriving, he had the foresight to automatically open the stairs.

"So nice."

Ash praised.

After knocking on the door of the principal's office, Ash was quickly welcomed in.

Before Ash could say anything, another wizard in the office had already greeted him with a slightly surprised voice.

"Ah, isn't this Professor Losric? I've been looking forward to meeting you."

"who are you?"

Ash was a little confused. He thought this man looked very familiar, but he definitely didn't recognize him.

The wizard was a little disbelieving. His outstretched right hand was petrified in the air for a long time, and then he quickly smiled back, revealing his big white teeth.

"It seems that Professor Losric has been so obsessed with the research of new types of magic that he doesn't know much about other famous figures in the wizarding world. Of course, this is not your fault. I can introduce myself to you to give you a profound understanding. Understand me."

Ash remembered that this person was Gilderoy Lockhart, a guy who didn't have much ability but relied on the Oblivion Charm to make a success of himself.

Why is he here so early?

Ash looked at Dumbledore, and the old headmaster just shrugged at him without saying anything more.

Here, the new colleagues have already begun to talk non-stop.

"I," Mr. Liar put one hand behind his back, making a humble gesture: "Gilderoy Lockhart, third-class Order of Merlin, honorary member of the Anti-Dark Arts Alliance, five-time winner of Wizarding Weekly's Best Charming Smile Award - But I won't talk about that, I don't use my smile to drive away all the female ghosts in the world."

But you keep talking about it every time you introduce it.

Ash groaned silently in his mind, and then shook hands with Lockhart who extended his right hand again.

"It turns out to be Mr. Lockhart. I have admired your name for a long time. I have been reading your books but have never met you. I have to say that your experience is so fascinating..."

Ash flattered.

When everyone knows that a person is a clown but he does not know it, everything he does will become a joke to everyone.

Soon, Lockhart asked a fatal question.

"What is your favorite experience of mine?"

"Pfft..."

Dumbledore couldn't help but laugh.

Ash was also speechless.

Brother, don’t take your words too seriously.

In the end, it was Dumbledore who broke the situation.

"Professor Lockhart, if there's nothing else, please excuse me. Ash probably came to me for official business. I think we need to deal with important matters first."

"Of course, of course." Lockhart didn't look embarrassed at all and quickly left.

Without outsiders, Ash's attitude became much more relaxed.

He calmly sat down on the stool and threw the diary onto Dumbledore's desk.

"What is that guy here for?"

Dumbledore didn't answer, just pushed a piece of parchment in front of Ash.

"Walking with Ghouls" by Gilderoy Lockhart

"Breaking with the Ghost" - Gilderoy Lockhart,

"Walking with Trolls" by Gilderoy Lockhart

……

Good guy, you have quite a strong taste.

Ash finally understood that this guy came to get gold plating only secondarily, the main point was to sell books.

Here, Dumbledore has finished studying the diary.

Counting it, Ash has found three of Voldemort's Horcruxes.

"How are you going to deal with him?"

Ash handed over the disposal of the diary to Dumbledore. After all, this soul was just Tom Riddle in the fifth grade, and he was not as hysterical and crazy as he later became.

Ash felt that Voldemort's rationality had been disappearing with the division of his soul, and the soul in the diary was probably the most human-like of him.

If I make a few Horcruxes, I'm afraid I'll be able to see the ancient gods, and I'm afraid the entire British wizarding world will be polluted by then.

What is this?

Harry Potter: Bloodborne?

After thinking for a long time, Dumbledore slowly spoke.

"Although you may not agree, I want to keep him by my side for the time being." He sighed, his eyes full of memories: "I always feel that I didn't teach him enough at the beginning, or that I didn't I gave him enough care, which led him to go astray. I am also partly responsible for the tragedy that happened."

Of course, both Dark Lords are related to you, so you have to reflect on yourself.

Ash didn't say the words "Not Enough".

"Ash, has anyone told you that a master of ingesting spiritual thoughts who has been trained naturally can still read something from the other person's expression even if he can't read his brain?"

"Really? I learned how to absorb spiritual thoughts from Severus, and he didn't tell me this." Ash felt like he had turned into a paralyzed face.

Ash finally left the diary to Dumbledore.It would be better to say that this was his original plan. Dumbledore was still too lonely, with no relatives around him, and his lover was still locked up in his own fortress.

Leaving a "close" student to him can also prevent Alzheimer's disease.

After saying goodbye to Dumbledore, Ash was going to take the Fireproof Girl to the Grangers' family for lunch. The professors at Hogwarts had all gone out to do their own business. There were only a few people alive in such a big school, so it was strangely deserted. of.

Then he saw Lockhart, who was dressed in emerald green robes and had silky hair.

This guy was chatting with an oil painting. It was obvious that they were having a great time chatting. The lady in the dress in the oil painting was so amused that she leaned forward and backward.

"Oh, Professor Losric, you're finally out." Seeing Ash, Lockhart immediately dropped the oil painting that was flirting with him, "That's it, I have officially joined the job now. So I think , as a colleague, could you, Professor Ash Lothric, be kind enough to have lunch with me?"

This made Ash confused. He had nothing to do with this guy in public or private life. Even as a colleague, he should invite the fireproof girl to dinner. What does it have to do with him.

Could it be that he is eyeing something in me?

"Is there anyone else?" Ash asked.

"Of course not!" Lockhart pretended to be shocked: "I am very sincere and only invited you. I also prepared a set of hardcover books signed by me to give to you."

"Okay, then please allow me to go back and change clothes."

"Of course, I will wait for you in the lobby on the first floor."
