Chapter 163: Lockhart who sacrifices himself
Chapter 163: Lockhart who sacrifices himself
It seems that the floo net makes him very uncomfortable.
"As soon as I received the letter from Principal Dumbledore, I hurried over!
I heard you defeated the Dark Lord?
Oh, my God! Worthy of my son!
"Dad!
Looking at Mr. Foley, who was happily following to the ball.
Braun looked embarrassed.
"There's nothing embarrassing about that! Honestly my son, I never expected you to be so good!95
Mr. Foley put his arm around Braun's shoulder and praised loudly.
"Your father will solve this matter well. 99
Dumbledore said.
Mr. Foley also nodded nonchalantly.
Mr. Foley and Dumbledore exchanged pleasantries for a while.
Only then did he leave the principal's office with Braun.
He came here to visit his son and to set up a branch in Mohog Village.
This has been planned for a long time.
It's just that I haven't found a suitable store.
I heard that there are shops to sell in Mohog Village recently.
So Mr. Foley is going to check it out.
"Dad, won't Lockhart's sales of his book be affected?
Mr. Foley said triumphantly:
"Of course not! I'm telling you I've thought of a way for a long time!
I contacted the guys whose memories he had stolen and gave them a hush money.
Plus Lockhart is dead.
I've got some work on the Ministry of Magic side too.
The follow-up repackaging says 05 Lockhart was killed by evil on his way to fight darkness.
I think it will attract the sympathy of many wizards.
In this way, I can also take the opportunity to sell another batch of collector's editions. ”
"Wouldn't anyone bother with Lockhart's magic?
..."
Mr. Foley said seriously:
"Boy, Lockhart is dead.
Who would deal with a dead man?
Sometimes people don't care so much about the truth.
What's more, Lockhart's writing is good, isn't it?55
Farewell to Mr. Foley, who went to Mohog village.
Braun walked towards the castle alone.
The dinner is about to begin.
And he was indeed hungry enough.
"It's great to see you alive Braun!35
Daphne said with a little joy.
"Thank you, Daphne. Thanks to you for informing the professor. ""
Although the professors came a little late and did not help him.
But Daphne was able to call the professor in time for help.
It also made Braun feel warm in his heart.
For the next few days.
Braun had a peaceful life.
Or talk to Hermione about your studies.
Or play wizarding chess with Daphne.
However, Hermione and they still did not give up their plan to find that heir.
Because the events of that day were more secretive.
So basically no one knows what happened that day except the president and a few professors.
Even Daphne only guessed but didn't know the details.
"Braun, we already have a clue!
And we found out that Harry is also a parseltongue!
He was able to talk to snakes before he even entered school.
Hermione whispered to Braun.
"So what's next for you?" What are you going to do?"
Braun asked with interest.
"We prepared dinner and went to Slytherin's secret room to look for clues.
Do you want to come along? 35
Braun shook his head:
"Nope.
But I don't think you should have to bother to continue looking for that heir. ”
Braun pointed to the principal who walked into the auditorium with them:
"Wait a minute, Principal Dumbledore will explain.
Looking at Hermione with a puzzled look.
Braun rubbed her head in disgust.
Then he walked towards his table.
"I don't know what Lockhart is doing during this time! I don't even have classes.
"It's good if I say that's fine.
I didn't want to listen to his stories at all. ”
Several senior snakes muttered.
In response, Braun sat in his place in silence.
Although he was very disdainful and even disgusted with Lockhart as a person.
But I really didn't expect him to die because of this.
But now it's useless to think so much.
If he knew that he could be praised by wizards after his death, he might be relieved.
At least it was better than being alive and then being taken to psychiatric classes at Azkaban or St. Mungo's Hospital.
Sure enough, it was exactly as Braun expected.
Dumbledore was not ready to announce the end of the dinner after the students had eaten and drunk.
Instead, he stood up, looked at the worried eyes of the young wizards and said in a deep voice:
"Maybe some students will wonder why Professor Lockhart hasn't taught you these days.
But I have to tell you sad news.
Your Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, Gilderoy · Professor Lockhart fights the Chamber of Secrets monsters that endanger the school.
In order to protect the safety of the students at the school, he unfortunately died in battle.
We highly commend Professor Lockhart's spirit.
At the same time, he was saddened by his death.
This is a great wizard, he..."
Dumbledore's vocal speech made some of the sensual little wizards sob softly.
Some of Lockhart's original admirers were even more embarrassed.
See this scene.
Braun felt satisfied.
That's the story he prepared for Lockhart.
'To fight the darkness and protect the students tragically passed away.
This not only ensures Lockhart's consistent personality, but also takes the opportunity to sell feelings and sell another wave of books.
It couldn't be more perfect.
Reporters invited by the Foley family and officials from the Ministry of Magic also arrived.
The reporters clicked and filmed one by one.
I'm ready to go back and write a story about Lockhart in a minute.
The officials in charge of the Ministry of Magic looked around the hall to see that the investigation was over without even going to Lockhart's office.
Seeing the faces of these officials, Braun also had to be disdainful in his heart.
No wonder Voldemort later broke through the Ministry of Magic so easily.
It is strange to rely on such combat effectiveness not to penetrate.
"Next, I am sad to tell you about the death of Professor Lockhart.
Defense Against the Dark Arts classes will be cancelled this semester.
And in honor of Professor Lockhart's contribution.
This semester, we have exams for students in the fifth and sixth and seventh grades.
Exams for other students are cancelled.
We will be honoring Professor Lockhart this semester's exam week. ”
The Gryffindor's lion cubs were about to jump with joy.
It's just that they still know that the current situation is not appropriate.
So they are desperately suppressing the joy in their hearts.
The face tried to show sadness.
Not to mention how funny that looks.
"I dare say it's the best thing Lockhart has ever done!"
"Don't say that, Professor Lockhart is dead.
"Okay, okay I see."
Discussions like this take place at every table.
Perhaps the idea that death is great is also appropriate for Westerners.
So these little wizards who were still dissatisfied with Lockhart also began to talk about his goodness.
"So, we did useless work, didn't we?"
Harry whispered.
"Of course not, at least the room monster is gone, isn't it?"
"At least we're safe."
The three of Hermione said one word at a time.
Only Hermione set his sights on Braun and felt that this matter must have something to do with him.

Lockhart's affairs were bombarded by various newspapers, and indeed caused a lot of turmoil in the wizarding world.
The number of books sold has also exploded.
It is even said that Mr. Foley found someone to ghostwrite a book called "I am a professor at Hogwarts".
It is claimed to have been written through interviews with young wizards at the school and Lockhart's unique letter.
Not to mention, the ghostwritten humanistic pen is very good, and Braun thought it was real after reading it.
Lockhart's mother was rewarded by the Ministry of Magic.
With tears in her eyes in the newspaper, she expressed her pride in having such a son for the sake of students.
Then tearfully accepted the 10,000 gold galleons sponsored by the Ministry of Magic and the Foleys.
And Mr. Foley also took the opportunity to donate part of the proceeds of the new work to poor wizards who could not eat far away in the Black Continent.
As for how much of this money can reach the poor wizard's mouth and how much goes into Mr. Foley's pocket, it is unknown.
"Lost again! Oh, my God!
I really don't know why Quidditch in our house has become so stretched!
I heard my cousin say that he could beat several other houses every year.
Shabini complained loudly with dissatisfaction.
Then follow Braun away from the Quidditch pitch.
I don't know if Slytherin's Quidditch was cursed and now he won't even beat Gryffindor, this time he hasn't even played Hufflepuff.
This made the proud little snakes very dissatisfied.
Some young wizards who are graduating in the age of six or seven.
He even pointed at the nose of Marcus, the captain of the Slytherin Quidditch team, after the game.
I almost didn't get started.
And Marcus could only bow his head and be silent in the face of his seniors.
But looking at him, he was also very dissatisfied with his failure.
Some of the Quidditch players in the snake yard also looked ugly one by one.
