Chapter 23: Chapter 23: Lockhart is Crazy About Adding Private Goods!

"Ahem!" Dumbledore coughed lightly, and Lockhart once again reluctantly looked away from the Phoenix. "Lockhart, let's talk about your ideas for teaching young wizards."

Although interrupted by Dumbledore, Lockhart couldn't help but take another look and then said seriously, "Headmaster, do you know what is the most important part of an adventure?"

Before Dumbledore could answer, Lockhart continued, "It is collecting enough information because risks may come at any time. Enough information can allow us to deal with unknown dangers. I previously collected information about the Defence Against the Dark Arts professors' classes over the past few years, and I found that," Lockhart paused and reorganized his words, trying to express his meaning tactfully, "maybe because of the curse, the foundation of the young wizards is too weak and needs to be strengthened. So, my idea is that it is best to increase the number of Defence Against the Dark Arts classes in the early stages so that they can master as much knowledge as possible."

Dumbledore nodded and gave Lockhart a look to continue.

"In order to allow young wizards to quickly digest the knowledge in class," Lockhart said, "I suggest adding practical courses and also improving their combat experience."

"This can be considered, but we must pay attention to the safety of the little wizards," Dumbledore ordered.

"Okay, I will definitely pay attention to this," Lockhart responded and continued to share his thoughts. "I think fifth-year wizards face the O.W.Ls exam and are under the heaviest pressure, so they must be asked to review knowledge repeatedly. My idea is to have them do a lot of tests and papers to strengthen their knowledge for the exam."

"Well, you can try this." Dumbledore raised his eyebrows, seeming to think this suggestion was very good.

"The sixth and seventh grade students are under less pressure and are about to graduate, so we can relax a bit and let them look for employment opportunities outside." Dumbledore nodded and Lockhart continued.

"Little wizards in the first and second year may have just come into contact with magic. If they are exposed to too much serious knowledge, it is easy for them to become disgusted with learning magic. Therefore, I suggest that more practical courses be added to enhance their interest in magic." Lockhart subconsciously raised his voice, as if he was a little excited.

"So, you chose to use your seven books as textbooks?" Dumbledore asked.

Lockhart smiled awkwardly and said seriously, "Of course, that's what I meant from the beginning. We should learn magic based on interest rather than purely on learning. The books I write are very interesting and not bad in knowledge." The more he spoke, the more confident Lockhart became, as if it was exactly what he had thought before.

"As a textbook, it's perfect." Dumbledore nodded, seeming to agree with Lockhart's sentiment.

Lockhart was a little excited when he saw this and continued, "Little wizards in the first and second years can pursue magical interests."

"But third-year and fourth-year wizards are different. They have already been exposed to a lot of magic. At this time, the emphasis can be on knowledge and the practical courses can be reduced. We need to provide them with more magic knowledge. They must be immersed in the ocean of knowledge and unable to extricate themselves."

Hearing this, Dumbledore nodded. As a professor, he strongly agreed with this. It is definitely good for students to learn more knowledge.

Dumbledore's look of approval immediately excited Lockhart, and he began to talk nonstop: "I have another suggestion. We must focus on cultivating outstanding little wizards. The efficiency of absorbing knowledge between ordinary wizards and outstanding young wizards is completely different. It's a world of difference. I know a little wizard who was only in the first grade and had already refined a Polyjuice Potion. This is something even many adult wizards have never been able to master. So, I think we should focus on cultivating those young wizards with better talents. Regarding this, we can convene the Lockhart Club."

Having said this, Lockhart's tone became more and more excited, and he began to frantically add his ideas.

"I think that outstanding little wizards who have already digested the knowledge in the class can learn new knowledge. I can teach them some of my own adventure experiences, some of the magic spells I have mastered, and my ideas on studying magic."

"At the same time, we can work together on a magic project, such as studying an unknown rune or unknown magic, to cultivate everyone's research awareness and research capabilities."

"For some magic projects, I, as the professor, will publish papers and add the names of the young wizards who help, so they can get a wonderful resume."

"Also, it would be best to have professors of Potions and Charms join in, so that young wizards can experience the abilities of top wizards."

"Best of all, Principal Dumbledore, you can also join us and let them see what it means to be the top wizard in the world."

Dumbledore's face froze slightly in the face of Lockhart's frantic addition of ideas. The more he listened, the more he felt that Professor Lockhart did not seem to be cultivating outstanding students but seemed to be using these outstanding little wizards as workers, and seemed to include the professors.

"Cough! Cough!" Dumbledore coughed several times, interrupting Lockhart's rambling.

Faced with Dumbledore's interruption, Lockhart stopped speaking regretfully. He still had many thoughts that he had not shared. Some novel magic projects urgently needed outstanding wizards to participate. However, he still asked shamelessly, "Professor Dumbledore, do you think the suggestion I just made is good?"

"I think it will be more effective if it is implemented. If you can do it, I believe the young wizards at Hogwarts will be very excited."

Facing the somewhat shameless Lockhart, Dumbledore was a little hesitant. "You can try to convene a club first, see if those little wizards and professors are willing to participate."

Upon hearing this, Lockhart immediately smiled brightly. He seemed to see a large number of young wizards and Hogwarts professors studying runes with him, magical materials from the Marvel world, Kamar Taj's magic, etc.

As for whether this knowledge will be leaked, he is not worried. He is not stupid. What he can share must be in the basic category, and he will definitely not share advanced things. Even if he takes it out, they won't be able to understand it without the foundation.

He would not stand in the way of knowledge. He may even help spread this new magical knowledge throughout the wizarding world. A brand-new magic system is bound to disrupt the current hierarchical wizarding world. Amid the chaos, new opportunities will emerge. Whoever can seize the greatest opportunity can influence and even control the entire wizarding world. And who else would this person be but him, Gilderoy Lockhart?

Lockhart thought silently in his mind. Then Dumbledore's sudden and abrupt words brought Lockhart back to his senses. "Lockhart, I have a request regarding Harry Potter."

Chapter 24: Chapter 24: Dumbledore’s Surprise

"Harry Potter, you should understand his special identity." A trace of distress flashed across Dumbledore's face, as if he was confiding in Lockhart. "I believe you are an excellent professor. So, I think you should pay more attention to Harry. He is a good seed worth cultivating."

Hearing this, Lockhart nodded heavily, agreeing with Dumbledore's point of view. "Indeed, Harry's family has made great contributions to the entire wizarding world."

Then Dumbledore seemed to suddenly think of something and asked, "I remember you met Harry Potter a few days ago. How do you feel about him?"

"Although he is a little reserved, I can feel his bravery," Lockhart praised loudly and unceremoniously. "Harry's magic level is far beyond that of ordinary little wizards."

"As expected of Lily and James Potter, he has perfectly inherited Potter's bloodline and Lily's intelligence."

Lockhart can barely be counted as a classmate of Snape and James Potter, though there is a two-year difference between them. While James Potter was already making a name for himself at Hogwarts, Lockhart was still just a young wizard. As a student of Ravenclaw, he didn't want to have contact with the little lions of Gryffindor and the little snakes of Slytherin. In other words, he was a little jealous of the famous Potter, jealous of his fame throughout Hogwarts. Therefore, the relationship between the two parties can only be described as average.

"In this case, you must pay attention to Harry's safety," Dumbledore mentioned casually. "I heard before that you gave Harry Potter seven copies of your books and a magic amulet. What does this amulet do?" Dumbledore said with a hint of curiosity in his tone. "Can it resist fatal danger like the Shield Spell Protego?"

Lockhart was not surprised when faced with Dumbledore's question. He had previously cast magic spells and presented Harry Potter with magic amulets at Flourish and Blotts Bookstore to prepare for this moment. But it's a pity that Dumbledore seems not interested in his wandless spellcasting.

With his thoughts turning, Lockhart directly objected. "No, Headmaster, this magic amulet only serves as a warning. I felt Harry had a scent of black magic on him, so I gave him the magic amulet I made, which can dispel this scent of black magic. At the same time, when encountering danger in the future, it can warn him." Hearing Lockhart's explanation, Dumbledore nodded slowly.

He had heard that Lockhart gave Harry Potter a magical item, and he was worried that there might be something wrong. After all, the change in Lockhart gave Dumbledore some warning. So he experimented secretly and found that the effect was exactly as Lockhart said.

"Really? It seems that you have grown a lot over the years and have learned how to make magic items. Can you give me one of your creations?" Dumbledore's face showed just the right amount of curiosity.

In his opinion, there is nothing special about the function of the amulet. Dumbledore himself could also make magic items with similar functions, but the runes engraved on the amulet aroused his curiosity. This rune is completely different from the runes he had studied, but at the moment, he didn't have enough material and couldn't find out what the difference was. But he relied on the intuition he had developed through years of studying. He could feel that it was unusual. Very unusual.

Lockhart heard Dumbledore's request and smiled brightly. Very good, great. If Dumbledore didn't bring it up, he is afraid he would have to find other ways to let him see the runes. How can he promote a new magic system without Dumbledore, the greatest white wizard in the world?

As his thoughts turned, a ray of joy appeared on Lockhart's face, as if he was recognized by Dumbledore. "It is naturally my honor to let you inspect my work." As he spoke, Lockhart waved his wand, and a brown piece of paulownia wood appeared in front of them.

Immediately afterward, a dark blue magic power surged out of Lockhart's body, spreading along his limbs like a wand in his hand. A dark blue light bloomed from the tip of the wand as Lockhart continued to wave it. In front of the two people, two slightly complicated runes emitting dark blue light appeared.

Rune - Purification! Rune - Ward Off Evil Spirits!

Under Lockhart's control, the two dark blue runes slowly merged into the brown paulownia wood chips in front of him. Soon, a magic amulet was formed. With a flick of Lockhart's wand, the amulet floated in front of Dumbledore.

Looking at the amulet in front of him, Dumbledore's eyes revealed a look of thought. Putting the runes aside for now, he would continue to study them later. There was a hint of danger from Lockhart's magic. This was far beyond his expectation. Since Voldemort's death, he hadn't felt the aura of danger for a long time. But today, he actually felt it from a junior, which made him a little surprised.

The doubts in his heart were reduced a lot. If Lockhart had the power to make him feel danger, even if it was very weak, he should not steal or wipe out other people's memories. It's not worth it. With such strength, ordinary snow monsters can be easily dealt with. Why spend so much effort? This is completely illogical.

At this moment, Lockhart had no idea what Dumbledore was thinking. He just hoped that the runes in front of him would be tempting to Dumbledore and make him devote himself to the research of runes. The reason for doing this, on the one hand, is to use Dumbledore's knowledge to speed up the mastery of runes. On the other hand, some subsequent plans can also take advantage of the situation.

Of course, if he knew that Dumbledore's suspicion was reduced just because of the transformed magic power in his body, he would probably be overjoyed. His current magic power is the product of the fusion and transformation of the prototype of the thunder god's power and his own original magic power. Ordinary magic spells can be increased by 80%, while thunder spells can be increased by at least twice. Moreover, the magic spell he cast has a corrosiveness and sensitivity that ordinary wizards' magic power does not have. If a wizard is injured by his spell, and if his magic cannot be removed in time, they will probably spend the rest of their life in extreme pain.

Of course, the power of Asgard's thunder god, even though it is in its embryonic state, still retains the strengthening effect on the body. Although his current physical strength is much weaker than that of Kamar Taj's fighting sorcerer, he is much stronger than the average agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.

"Lockhart, which category of ancient runes do these two runes belong to? Why have I never seen them before?"

Hearing the curiosity in Dumbledore's tone, Lockhart showed a hint of joy in his brows. Finally took the bait!
