A Hogwarts Wizard Supreme

Chapter 345 The Most Charming Smile Award in the History of the Order of Merlin

In the venue, Lockhart not only failed to recognize him immediately, he even mistakenly mistook the 40-year-old potion master Damocles Belby for Li Fei.

Why does this person seem to be in a trance and his memory becomes very bad?

Li Fei, who felt he had lost face in front of Dumbledore and Newt, frowned slightly and planned to hit him.

How can I not respect you, the book lover with the highest number of fans? Today I will make it a long memory for you.

To be honest, when Li Fei took out a stack of light blue envelopes from the magic pendant on his chest, Lockhart's heartbeat froze.

If time is worth money, then the Galleons Li Fei spent on Lockhart was enough to stop the internationally renowned best-selling author's electrocardiogram for several inches.

There is no way, there are no online articles in China at this time.

Li Fei was tired of reading traditional literature, and since he was unwilling to be a "literary copycat", he could only read Lockhart's "works" as novels.

Fortunately, although he stole the stories from other people, some of the knowledge about dealing with werewolves and vampires in the book is still true and has great merits.

Li Fei, who has lived in two generations, knows one thing very well: "If we do not occupy the commanding heights of public opinion, then the right to speak will be occupied by the enemy."

"If you own the media, you have the right to speak."

Gilderoy Lockhart, one of the two great "pen writers" in the UK, had a deeply narcissistic and money-grubbing character that was very easy to control, so it took Li Fei almost a year to make his name completely Lockhart. The most important existence in Te's mind.

However, how long has it been before this damn coder has forgotten about your big brother?

Is it due to tidy up?

As Li Fei's expression became serious, Lockhart's expression changed drastically:

"Dear Mr. Li Fei, please don't be acquainted with me. I am indeed a little carried away because I am about to receive a third-level Merlin Medal, and I am actually a little neglectful of you.

All the mistakes are my fault. You sir have a lot. I hope you will never argue with me, a young author, let alone talk to those booksellers about returns. Please! "

"Order of Merlin, third degree? You are the winner of the Order of Merlin this year?"

Li Fei was obviously interested.

"Could it be that the stories you concocted in your book actually made the auditors of the Knights of Merlin believe them to be true?"

"I dare to swear to Merlin that the stories in my book are true!" Lockhart insisted, then lowered his voice slightly, "But the reviewer still thought that my merits were insufficient and did not nominate me for the Order of Merlin."

"Then you can still get a third-class Order of Merlin? Isn't it because I used the money I spent on buying your book to donate to the Ministry of Magic?

You must know that the least valuable and most valuable Merlin Order of Merlin in history was obtained by Arcturus Black, the elder of the Sirius Black family.

On the surface, he was commended for his 'contribution to the Ministry of Magic', but in fact, he was paid by donating a huge amount of wealth to the Ministry of Magic. "

"Please rest assured that I definitely did not spend so much wealth on this medal. After all... I am not actually very rich."

Lockhart responded awkwardly to Li Fei's questioning, showing his classic elegant smile with twelve teeth.

"Then how did you obtain this honor? You might as well tell me."

Li Fei is interested. Could it be that he really got the medal for developing shampoo?That would be interesting.

Lockhart pursed his lips, hesitated again and whispered in Li Fei's ear:

"Because I have made major improvements in improving memory magic, they all agreed that this is enough to meet the merits required for a Merlin third-level medal.

I had no idea that just this 'little trick' would be enough to win a Merlin Order. "

"Okay, I will forgive you this time, after all, we were just pen pals before.

It's a shame that I even remembered the private stuff included in your book, but you actually forgot that I said I was only 12 years old.

12 years old, his name is Li Fei, a student at Hogwarts, and a second-level Medal of Merlin.

Even if there are people with the same name, at least in the UK, there is no one with the same resume as me. "

"Yes, I promise I will never forget it again. I don't know why, but I've been in a trance lately.

Maybe I am too tired from applying for the Merlin Level [-]... In short, I will never neglect you again. Please support my new book "Walking with the Snowman in Tibet". "

"Okay, okay, just remember to arrange a powerful guest role for me in this book."

Li Fei, who had satisfied his thirst for knowledge, no longer planned to chat with Lockhart anymore.

In the distance, Harry Potter was looking at Li Fei, and it was only because Lockhart had annoyed him that he panicked, so he didn't come over for a long time.

Li Fei stopped talking, but the principal Dumbledore on the side suddenly spoke.

"It's been a while since I last saw Gilderoy. It seems like you've been doing well over the past few years."

Li Fei keenly felt that as soon as Dumbledore spoke, Lockhart's whole body began to tremble.

"It seems that after so many years, you have never replied to the letter I wrote to you. This kind of heartless behavior will make an old man extremely sad.

How do you think about my invitation?Do you want to come to Hogwarts and be the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor for a year?

I have reason to believe that if your experience is as legendary as what is stated in your book, your strength will probably not be much weaker than this old friend next to me. "

Lockhart raised his head tremblingly and found that standing next to Dumbledore was a skinny little old man!

"Who is this……?"

"Ahem," Li Fei, who had just taken advantage of the old man, acted enthusiastically like a loser, "I would like to formally introduce to you, this is Mr. Newt Scamander, a legendary researcher of magical animals. The man who had Grindelwald arrested is also the author of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.”

Uncle Newt originally just wanted to respond with a simple "hum", but after listening to Li Fei's introduction to him, he felt that it would be a shame if he didn't respond formally to Li Fei's bragging about him.

"Yes, I am Newt Scamander. I have also read your book. There are many serious flaws in the descriptions of magical animals. However, if you are willing, I can help you correct some of them. two."

Well, being able to tolerate and agree to make corrections in person instead of rudely asking the other person why he didn't buy his book is the highest level of kindness that Mr. Newt, a "socially difficult person", can currently unleash.

After thanking Mr. Scamander for his correction, Newt said hello to Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape hastily. He didn't even bother to brag about his new book, and left on the grounds of "physical discomfort". Escaped.

"Professor Dumbledore, look at how cowardly he looks, are you actually planning to make Lockhart the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor?"

Although Li Fei was familiar with the original work, seeing Lockhart's "extremely confident" appearance with his own eyes, Li Fei suddenly wondered whether it was because the butterfly wings he had flapped when he arrived had affected the direction of the story.

Gu XiOtherwise, given the cowardice of the other party, who has obviously been hiding for many years, how could he be persuaded by Old Deng next year and voluntarily agree to take up the post of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts? This is not what he used to do. Jumping into a pit of fire?

In response to Li Fei's inquiry, Dumbledore sighed helplessly:

"Lockhart is a very smart boy, in fact, smarter than most of the students at Hogwarts.

Although he has always given me a very 'frivolous' feeling, since I learned that Li Fei is also a fan of his books, I tried to re-examine Lockhart's campus life from another angle.

I find that compared to the original definition of 'frivolous', I now prefer to call this behavior - 'exaggerated'.

Maybe he is a genius, but he is just starting to shine now, maybe. "

Dumbledore actually had an unreasonable high opinion of Lockhart because Li Fei frequently exchanged letters with Lockhart. After all, in Lao Deng's view, how many people could be favored by Li Fei? You have to have some real ability.

In this regard, Li Fei said that he did not take the blame. He simply liked to watch Lockhart write cool articles and had no other meaning at all.

However, Dumbledore didn't know this, and he was still talking endlessly about Lockhart's past as a student:

“All the professors feel that he has an above-average IQ and talent, and in some aspects that interest him, he even has the top talent in the school. There is no doubt about this.

Although when Lockhart is mentioned to his fellow alumni, most people will only remember the promises he once boasted about: such as creating the Philosopher's Stone before graduation, and leading the England Quidditch national team in the World Cup after graduation. Winning the championship, and then retiring successfully to become the youngest Minister of Magic and so on.

But if he is willing to work hard, even if he cannot fulfill his vow, he will definitely achieve something and do something.

After entering Ravenclaw, he quickly got good grades in every subject and assignment, but he was not satisfied because he keenly discovered that no matter how hard he studied, he was still far behind in being ranked number one in his age group. Far.

He was never the man of the hour on campus, because at that time Hogwarts had fourth-year James, Lily, Snape, Lupine, Sirius... too many geniuses shining in Hogwarts. legend.

Lockhart was deeply shocked. It was difficult for him to understand why there were people with better talents and achievements than him. He seemed to be born with a desire to be surrounded by stars.

To be honest, the current situation of Li Fei and Harry attracting attention from students during their time at school is definitely the scene in Lockhart's dream.

According to his classmates in the same dormitory, Lockhart wrote a sentence on the first page of his notebook: 'If I am not the strongest and best in an assignment, then I would rather not participate. '

So, he used his talent for shortcuts. He no longer studied for the sake of learning, but studied for the sake of fame.

He just wants to win awards and be famous.

He applied to me many times and finally succeeded in creating the school magazine. Countless students were eager for the content in the school magazine, but no one knew that his original intention of doing all this was just to let everyone see his name on the editorial column.

I have to admit one thing. When he was a student, he had several kinds of special magic that were very powerful. If I remember correctly, you should have already understood one thing: strong willpower or spirit can make the effect of magic spells more powerful. ,Right? "

Li Fei nodded solemnly: "I had experienced it before, until Professor Griffin, a noble knight, selflessly told this technique publicly in class."

Dumbledore also nodded slightly and continued:

"Yes, strong willpower will cause the effect of the curse to increase exponentially, and some people can even overcome death. (Old Deng said this very softly and vaguely, but Li Fei heard it)

Lockhart is such a person. He used original magic to imprint his personal signature on the Quidditch playground. Even the professor could not do anything about the signature he imprinted on the playground. It had to be removed physically and could not be restored with magic. .

Although I can restore the Quidditch pitch, I admit that I was moved by his wonderful [Signature Curse] at that time. I think his curse is worth leaving on the lawn and slowly disappearing.

Later, Voldemort began his dark reign, and when almost all the students on campus were afraid of the devil who must not even be named, Lockhart shocked us again.

He actually succeeded in replicating the [Reappearance of Bones] magic using only the basic collection of books in the library, and extremely comically replaced the [Mark of the Dark] with Lockhart's own face shooting into the sky. "

"This talent is really terrifying..." Li Fei couldn't help but take a deep breath for Lockhart. This kind of talent doesn't look like the idiot who knows nothing in the original book, right?

"Yes, he is really an extremely outstanding talent..." Dumbledore sighed softly, "As long as it is an act that is beneficial to becoming famous, he will complete it meticulously, but as long as it is something that can be accomplished in obscurity, he will not do it without hesitation. Give up hesitantly.

One Valentine's Day, a day I will never forget in my life, he actually sent himself 800 Valentine's cards.

But that's not the point. The point is that the owls gathered in the auditorium that day made everyone have to give up breakfast because too many feathers and droppings fell into the porridge. "

"Forehead……"

"Lockhart finally left Hogwarts, which made all the professors and school staff heave a sigh of relief.

But soon more and more stories about him abroad came out, which made us all feel that we might have misjudged him. His specialties after graduation were forgetting spells and shampoo.

The shampoo he developed is really effective. I bought it once, and it can indeed "lock in bright luster" as advertised.

Just because the most important material requires the use of bird and snake eggs, and bird and snake eggs are very expensive, and the refining process is very dangerous, so it did not receive venture capital from the fairies.

But these shampoos are enough to prove his potion and alchemy skills. "

Dumbledore was still intending to continue speaking, but the lights in the hall suddenly dimmed. The dim night was full of stars, and only countless rays of light illuminated a small stage in the center.

An old man with white hair appeared in the center of the stage. Li Fei didn't know who she was, but he only heard the old man speak slowly in her hoarse and firm tone:

"Welcome wizards from all over the world to this event. The award ceremony for the Order of Merlin has officially begun. Let us invite the first recipient of the Order of Merlin, Level [-]."

"He has been traveling in distant places all year round, just to devote himself to the cause of eliminating various dangers and fighting various dark creatures, which all prove his extraordinary courage and resilience."

"He has won the "Wizard Weekly" Most Charming Smile Award five times in a row. He is the 'heart arsonist' in the hearts of thousands of girls, igniting the fire in the hearts of all girls in the wizarding world, including me."

"Although the reason for his nomination to receive the Merlin Level [-] Order this year is: the near-perfect modification of the [Memory Curse] has opened a new chapter in the research of magic spells."

"But I believe that at this moment, many people should be thinking the same thing as me. What he really deserves is-[The Most Charming Smile Award in the History of the Order of Merlin]!"

"Let us welcome him to the stage with a round of applause. He is Mr. Gilderoy Lockhart!!!"
