Marvel's Hogwarts Wizards

Chapter 210: The Missing Lockhart (Fourth Update)

After staying in the French Magic Street for a few days, Jerry set off to return to the Leaky Cauldron in London.

Because the day when I agreed to buy books with Hermione is coming soon.

"Boss, how much is this?"

In a small gift shop at 15 Charing Street, London, Jerry picked up the seven-story Russian matryoshka doll on the gift shelf and asked the chubby boss.

At this time, he had just returned to London by train from Hastings, and before he had time to return to the Leaky Cauldron, he just thought that he hadn't had time to buy the sealed Horcrux, so he found a small gift shop nearby.

"Oh, sir, that's only five pounds, but since it's your first visit, I'll give you four!"

The fat boss just finished paying the bill, and introduced it to Jerry enthusiastically.

"Okay thank you!"

After paying the money, and holding the seven-story Russian matryoshka, he continued to walk towards the direction of the Leaky Cauldron.

There are seven layers of matryoshka, one layer seals a Voldemort soul, and the outer layer of Voldemort seals the inner Voldemort, which is quite strong.

"After school starts, I'll find a way to learn Apparation!"

Pushing open the door of the Leaky Cauldron, Jerry thought secretly.

Without Apparition, many things would be very inconvenient. Originally, he could have returned to his room or Diagon Alley with just one Apparation.

But now, he has to walk slowly on his own feet.

It was the same with the Aurors in the French Magic Street last time. Those dark wizards could use apparition to escape, but he had to rely on his strength to rush out.

However, if you want to learn apparation, you need someone to guide you. If you practice blindly according to the magic book, it is easy to split the body. For example, after apparating, the body teleports, but the arms and legs stay in place.

And even if there is a teacher to guide it, not every wizard can master it.

Otherwise, when the Ministry of Magic sent someone to teach Apparition at Hogwarts last semester, he would take the time to listen secretly.

There is another very important thing, and that is the issue of body tracking.

He is currently not sure whether Zongsi fell on his wand or on his body, so even though he basically doesn't use the wand very much now, he dare not use magic outside of Diagon Alley.

If this troublesome problem is not resolved, he will be very restricted as long as he is in the UK until he reaches the age of eighteen.

Unless he intends to wipe out the entire Ministry of Magic on his own, although it may not be possible to do it in another two years.

But in essence, he still wanted a relatively peaceful environment to study magic.

Fortunately, he already has a preliminary solution to this problem and the previous one, which is why he bought a seven-layer Russian nesting doll.

"Mr. Lockhart, can I have an autograph?"

As soon as Jerry opened the door and walked into the Leaky Cauldron, he was taken aback by the lively scene in the bar.

Although the Leaky Cauldron Bar is located in a magical street like Diagon Alley, the business is actually very mediocre due to the environment of the store.

Therefore, in most cases, the bar is not full, and it is relatively quiet.

But at this time, the number of people in the bar was abnormally large, and it was very noisy.

Taking a closer look, the main reason is the handsome wizard in gorgeous robes standing at the bar counter—Gilderoy Lockhart.

He is also the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts this year.

Gilderoy Lockhart, third-class Medal of the Order of Merlin, honorary member of the Defense Against the Dark Arts League, and five-time winner of the most charming smile award of "Wizard Weekly", is currently the most popular writer in the wizarding world.

"It turned out to be him, no wonder!"

Looking at Lockhart, who was surrounded by a group of forty-something middle-aged witches at the bar to sign an autograph, Jerry suddenly showed a dazed expression.

Avoiding the crazy aunts, Jerry took a detour and walked up the stairs on the second floor of the bar.

"Tomorrow from 12:30 to 4:30 p.m., I will hold a signing event for my new book autobiography "I Know Magic" at Lihen Bookstore, everyone must come and join us!"

Lockhart at the bar flicked his blond hair and showed his bright teeth. While signing "Gilderoy·Lockhart teaches you to remove pests in your home" for the aunts and witches, he promoted tomorrow's book signing.

The aunt suddenly screamed again and again, saying that she would definitely be there to buy.

As for the middle-aged wizards behind them, the expressions on their faces were not so good-looking.

"I guess you won't be able to attend tomorrow's signing event!"

Jerry, who was walking on the stairs, saw the scene below, shook his head secretly, and replied in his heart.

He had just heard some people in the bar talking about Lockhart seeming to be staying at the Leaky Cauldron tonight, and Tom even waived his lodging fee on purpose.

"Fortunately, magic can be cast in Diagon Alley, otherwise it would be really difficult!"

At ten o'clock in the middle of the night, Jerry used the disillusionment spell to disappear, and quietly came to the door of the room where Lockhart was.

"Alahoo hole is open!"

With a finger on the door lock, the door was immediately opened under the effect of the unlocking spell.

Pushing open the door and walking into the room cautiously, Jerry soon found Lockhart who was sleeping soundly.

"The soul is out of the body!"

Stretching out his hand to cast the Imperius Curse on Lockhart, Jerry took out a magic pen that could write automatically that he bought at the French Magic Street, and ordered to Lockhart:

"Now, tell in detail how you deceived accomplished wizards and witches, took their stories for your own, and erased all their memories.

And if you use this to cheat the Merlin Medal and become an honorary member of the Defense Against the Dark Arts Alliance. "

Lockhart nodded with a happy face:

"When I graduated from Hogwarts in 1982, I kept thinking about how to become famous, to become a highly respected wizard like Dumbledore, to receive flowers and applause from countless people.

But I dare not really contact and fight those dark wizards, scary vampires, and female ghosts.

Fortunately, shortly after graduation, I mastered the difficult oblivion spell, and I used it very well, so I came up with a very good idea."

Following Lockhart's narration, his life experience from graduation to the present has been recorded bit by bit by the magic pen.

Two hours later, Jerry cast the Oblivion and Sleeping Curse on Lockhart who had finished telling his story.

"Let's call this book The Real Lockhart!"

Binding dozens of pages of paper filled with Lockhart's life experience into a book with magic, he left Lockhart's room with the new book, and then quietly came to Diagon Alley.

"Quick copy!"

After casting a copy spell on "The Real Lockhart" to turn it into dozens of copies, Jerry threw the copies of these books one by one at the door of the shop in Diagon Alley.

Especially for the Diagon Alley branch of the Daily Prophet, he even opened the door and threw seven or eight copies inside.

Afterwards, he used the Transfiguration Charm to transform into a middle-aged man, went to the Owl Post Office, and mailed the original copy to the Ministry of Magic.

He believes that tomorrow will be wonderful!
