Chapter 86: Chapter 86: Dumbledore’s Autobiography

"Lockhart, what are you looking at?" Dumbledore asked with a smile, a hint of kindness in his tone, which quickly brought Lockhart back to his senses.

 

"Headmaster, I was just watching the young wizards doing flight training, and I suddenly felt nostalgic for my school days," Lockhart replied with some emotion. "Time flies really fast. In the blink of an eye, it has been 10 years since graduation."

 

After hearing this, Dumbledore said with some nostalgia, "The older I get, the more I miss my childhood. At my age now, I really envy the carefree time of these little wizards."

 

Hearing Dumbledore's somewhat nostalgic tone, Lockhart nodded sympathetically and said, "Indeed. I was just thinking, should I try riding a magic broomstick myself? I've been busy with work recently, so I haven't tried it for a long time."

 

Then, Dumbledore smiled and suddenly said, "Lockhart, do you want us to compete? It's been a while since I tried riding a broomstick."

 

Hearing this, Lockhart was stunned for a moment. He was suddenly confused about what Dumbledore was planning. But after thinking about it, he nodded and agreed, "It's my honor, Headmaster."

 

"Then you have to give me some handicap," Dumbledore said. "Now that I am old, my reaction speed may not be as fast as that of you young people."

 

Lockhart jokingly replied, "Haha, at your level, I might not be able to catch up with you even if I try my best. You defeated two Dark Lords in succession back then. How could I possibly defeat you at my level?"

 

"Haha," Dumbledore laughed at Lockhart's compliment, then quickly took out a broomstick. He mounted it and flew into the air.

 

Seeing this, Lockhart also smiled and took out a broom from his space bag—this was a magic item prepared for high-altitude escape during his first time traveling. He mounted it as well and controlled the magic broom to fly high into the sky according to his memory.

 

Soon, he flew next to Dumbledore, and the two flew towards the top of Hogwarts together. Feeling the strong wind blowing on his face, Lockhart flicked the Sling Ring, and a transparent defensive shield appeared in front of him, blocking the strong wind from hitting his face. After seeing it, Dumbledore quietly cast a spell on himself.

 

Soon, the two of them were flying high in the sky, overlooking Hogwarts below. They saw the tall castle, the pointed tower tops, the column-like tower bodies, and the rising and falling buildings. Finally, Lockhart and Dumbledore found a relatively flat top of the tower, landed on it, and looked at the Black Lake in the distance together. They observed the green lawn, the sparkling lake, and the few students sitting on the edge of the lake playing.

 

Lockhart suddenly felt that the world was quiet at this moment. He liked the silence, and such a charming picture made it easier for him to become addicted. It allowed him to relax and think more.

 

"cough!" After a while, Dumbledore coughed lightly, watched Lockhart come back to his senses, and said softly, "How does it feel to be at Hogwarts now?"

 

"It's beautiful!" Lockhart nodded without hesitation. "I like the atmosphere of the school. It's quiet, safe, and most importantly, there are lots of books."

 

"Haha!" Dumbledore laughed after hearing this. "Lockhart, I can feel your joy from your words. It seems that my invitation to you to be the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor was right this time. I hope Hogwarts can become an integral part of your beautiful memories."

 

"Thank you, Headmaster!" Lockhart nodded and said meaningfully, "I'm proud of Hogwarts, and I hope that I will have the opportunity to make Hogwarts proud of me in the future."

 

"Haha, Lockhart, I look forward to such a day," Dumbledore replied with a smile. Then, as if casually, he asked, "By the way, Lockhart, now that I'm older, I'm going to write an autobiography to record my life. I wonder if I can consult you if I encounter some problems. I see you have written quite a few books."

 

After hearing this, Lockhart's eyes suddenly lit up. This was a good thing. He could learn more about Dumbledore and even further build a closer relationship between the two. Thinking of this, Lockhart nodded quickly and said, "Headmaster, if you need any help from me, just ask. I dare not say much about other aspects, but I have some experience in writing books."

 

After hearing this, Dumbledore asked with interest, "Can you tell me about your experience in writing an autobiography? I heard that many of the seven books you wrote are autobiographical."

 

Hearing this, Lockhart's heart suddenly jumped and he came to his senses. He cursed secretly in his heart. He thought that Dumbledore really asked him to write his autobiography, but he didn't expect that it would be related to the books he had written. He immediately tightened the string in his heart. After thinking for a while, he said, "My personal experience in writing autobiographies actually does not apply to you, Headmaster. Because my original purpose of writing the book was to make money, not to review what I had experienced. So, I tend to write things that readers would like to see, make it humorous, and make the plot interesting. Only in this way can they be popular."

 

"Including the autobiography you read before, a large part of it is actually slightly exaggerated. Otherwise, it would be a boring story and no one would read it."

 

Hearing this, Dumbledore nodded in agreement. Seeing this, Lockhart continued, "If you are writing an autobiography, it is to advise the wizards in the future or to leave some traces of your life. In order to be passed down for a long time, we can actually focus more on talking about some of the big things you have experienced, and what changes you have gained from them. I believe that not only will many people read such books, but it will also make it easier to further shape your image in the minds of all wizards. That's my little opinion."

 

Hearing this, Dumbledore nodded, as if he agreed. "Very valuable point of view. Thank you, Lockhart, for your advice. It seems that I will need more help from you in the future for my autobiography. After all, if a book lacks interest, it will lose many readers."

 

Hearing this, Lockhart nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay, Headmaster." Then, he made a request of his own: "However, Headmaster, I have been studying ancient runes and runes recently, and I hope to receive your guidance. After all, your achievements in ancient runes are well known."

 

Regarding Lockhart's request, Dumbledore was thoughtful, thought about it, and said slowly, "Yes, if you need anything, you can make an appointment in advance. I will wait for you in the Headmaster's office. I hope this old bone of mine can still be of some help to you."

 

Lockhart's face lit up when he heard Dumbledore agree to his request.

Chapter 87: Chapter 87: Golden Snidget

The next day, in the sixth-year Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom.

 

"That's enough about the Chinese Fireball Dragon. Guess what magical animal this is?" Lockhart strolled down the aisle in the middle of the classroom, flicked his wand, and used magic to outline an emerald-green creature that resembled a long snake, but it had a shining red gemstone on its forehead and a single horn.

 

Uh-huh!

 

Soon, Lockhart saw many students raising their right hands. After a brief glance, he pointed his wand at a Gryffindor student.

 

"Percy, you answer."

 

Percy, who had red hair and was slightly handsome, stood up and introduced, "Professor, this is a long-horned water snake, a unique species in the United States. It is a 5x level magical creature with the ability to be invisible and fly. It is said that it has been hunted in large numbers and is an extremely rare and endangered species."

 

"And..."

 

Soon, Percy recited everything he knew about the horned water snake from his books.

 

"Percy's introduction is good." Lockhart nodded slightly and praised, "Five points for Gryffindor."

 

Percy's face lit up after hearing this. As a prefect, adding points to his house was a good thing in itself. Especially when his two younger brothers always seemed to be losing points for Gryffindor, the extra points this time could make up for it.

 

Lockhart watched Percy sit down and continued to speak unhurriedly, "Besides Percy's introduction, the horned water snake also has an unknown ability. It has certain psychic abilities and can hypnotize wizards or magical animals with weak mental powers. Also, the horned water snake is the representative magical creature of Ilvermorny School in the United States."

 

As Lockhart spoke, he watched all the students start taking notes, nodded slightly, and continued to add, "In fact, it may be difficult for you to encounter long-horned water snakes, and even encountering them is a matter of luck. But who asked the test questions in these years to more or less test some magical creatures in the United States, with the long-horned water snake as its characteristic species? It's very likely that it will appear on the test paper, so you have to be careful."

 

Later, Lockhart introduced some other information about the horned water snake to the students in detail and how to escape if they were encountered. Well, it is impossible to fight. With the level of these students, they would be lucky if they weren't confused by the horned water snake.

 

After a while, Lockhart finished talking about the horned water snake.

 

Suddenly, a Gryffindor student with short hair, a somewhat burly figure, and wearing a red wizard robe raised his right hand. When Lockhart saw it, he asked, "Oliver Wood, what don't you understand?"

 

After Oliver Wood stood up, he asked Lockhart, "Professor, you just talked about a lot of magical creatures that we cannot fight against. How about you tell us about the ones that we can defeat?"

 

"Yes, Professor, tell us."

 

"Yes, Professor, I want to listen to a lesson on dangerous magical animals today."

 

Facing the expectant looks of all the students, Lockhart thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "Okay, let's talk about some interesting magical animals that you can fight."

 

As he spoke, Lockhart waved his wand gently, and through the wand, he drew an outline of a magical creature with golden feathers and a pair of small wings on both sides, similar to a dodo bird.

 

Many girls looked at the furry body floating in mid-air, the two pairs of small blue wings, and the two cute creatures with sapphire-like eyes. Suddenly, they exclaimed softly.

 

"So cute."

 

"So cute."

 

"I really want one."

 

Lockhart was not surprised by the exclamations from the Gryffindor and Slytherin girls, because the floating Golden Snidget in mid-air was indeed very cute and very popular with girls. But the fiery eyes of the boys made him feel a little strange.

 

He shook his head slightly, swept away the distracting thoughts in his heart, and introduced, "This is the Golden Snidget, known for its keen instinct. It has the ability to teleport in space; basically, every time it flaps its wings, it is a precursor to its teleportation. It is a XXX level magical creature. You can definitely defeat it. Only it's not certain whether you can catch it or not."

 

Having said this, a faint smile appeared on Lockhart's face.

 

"Professor, have you encountered it before? How do you catch it?"

 

"It's really cute. I want one too, Professor."

 

"Professor, how many gold galleons do you think it would take to buy one?"

 

As soon as Lockhart finished speaking, a group of girls started chirping with questions. It was clear they liked such cute pets very much.

 

Well, Lockhart actually liked it very much too, but unfortunately...

 

"I've only seen the Golden Snidget once before, but unfortunately, I didn't catch it." At this point, Lockhart shook his head slightly, then continued with a half-smile on his face, "However, I have encountered a creature that is directly similar to the Golden Snidget. However, it cannot teleport in space, but its jumping ability is very amazing. I once tried to catch it, but unfortunately, I couldn't catch it at all. You can't imagine how slippery that thing is."

 

Speaking of this, Lockhart couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Creatures that can survive for thousands of years have their strong advantages more or less.

 

Later, Lockhart explained to the students some other related information about the Golden Snidget and some other magical animals that were not dangerous and that they could fight.

 

After a while, a Slytherin girl wearing dark green wizard robes raised her right hand, and Lockhart tapped his wand gently.

 

"Miss Crevat, what's the problem?"

 

Crevat stood up and asked in an expectant tone, "Professor, we have been in class for two weeks, and we are all studying the knowledge in the books. When will the practical lessons start to improve our combat experience?"

 

After Crevat finished speaking, Lockhart felt the expectant looks of other students. He thought about it and said with a smile, "Practical lesson, huh? Let's do it in the next class. I'll adjust the course schedule. Also, if you feel that you lack combat experience, my Duelling Club will be opened in the near future, and you can choose to join."

 

After Lockhart finished speaking, the atmosphere in the classroom suddenly became more lively.

 

"Really, Professor?"

 

"Professor, can I join your duelling club?"

 

"Professor, are there any requirements for the club?"

 

Lockhart nodded and answered the students' questions one by one.

 

"Of course, everyone is welcome to join."

 

"The requirements will be there, but they won't be high. As long as you have a heart that wants to fight and learn magic, you can definitely join."

 

After the atmosphere calmed down a bit, Lockhart changed the subject and continued today's lecture.

 

---

 

At noon, after class, Lockhart had just answered some questions for the sixth-year students. After all the students left, he took his notebook and walked towards the corridor. There was one thing left to do for this day.

 

That was to ask Professor McGonagall for resources for the Duelling Club.
