Capítulo 135: Chapter 135: The Millennium Law That Was Broken

With the sound of the door closing, Hermione and Harry disappeared from Lockhart's sight. The Golden Trio of Gryffindor wanted to learn meditation, which was an unexpected surprise. Of course, he would not refuse. As long as they practiced meditation, they would naturally enter the new magic system. This would undoubtedly be more beneficial to Lockhart's promotion plan.

In his plan, he would select corresponding representatives from each group to carry out propaganda. There would be Squibs, wizards, pure-bloods, mixed-bloods, young people, and old people. All in all, he aimed to create a perception for the entire wizarding world in a short period of time—that meditation had a wide range of applications and that anyone who wanted to learn it would definitely get results.

As for the magic bracelet they wanted, that was a small problem. A small goal could be set for them, and they would naturally achieve it.

With his thoughts turning, Lockhart looked at Sunny, who had stood up and was looking around. Waving his magic wand, the small treadmill appeared in front of the desk again. At the same time, a familiar voice came from Sunny's ears.

"Sunny, come on, let's hold on for 15 minutes this time."

"Chirp, chirp," Sunny made a desperate complaint.

Diagon Alley, Daily Prophet.

Daily Prophet editor-in-chief Cotton Becker was at his desk, looking at the proofs that would be sent out tomorrow. Cotton was a middle-aged wizard close to 50 years old. He was slightly fat, wore a loose gray wizard robe, and had slightly sparse hair. At this moment, while looking at the sample manuscript, he did not forget to take a puff from the black pipe in his mouth. Between exhalations and inhalations, wisps of smoke emitted from the top of the pipe.

Suddenly, Cotton's office door burst open, and an excited voice followed.

"Editor-in-Chief, big news, big news!"

Cotton looked helplessly at his capable editor and waved, "Bobby, don't be anxious, take your time. What's the matter?"

Daily Prophet editor Bobby Winger said excitedly, "Hogwarts is recruiting research assistants."

"What research project?" As the editor-in-chief, Cotton immediately grasped the key point and asked directly.

"Professor Lockhart at Hogwarts has found a way to give Squibs the ability to cast spells. It is said that Principal Dumbledore also participated, and it is almost successful. Now they are just waiting to recruit a group of Squibs and do the final test."

"What!" After hearing what Bobby said, editor-in-chief Cotton had a look of shock on his face. Squibs being unable to cast spells had been a common belief and law recognized in the wizarding world for thousands of years. He didn't expect that someone would break it now.

As for the authenticity of the news, he did not doubt it. The reputation of Hogwarts for thousands of years was unquestionable, let alone Dumbledore's involvement. Although Bobby said 'supposedly,' the shrewd editor-in-chief Cotton naturally knew that such rumors were never groundless. Dumbledore was definitely involved; he just didn't show up directly. Not to mention, this was issued in the name of Hogwarts. If Dumbledore wasn't involved, who would believe it?

As for Professor Lockhart, Cotton was familiar with him. They had collaborated with the Daily Prophet a lot in the past. Lockhart was quite capable but somewhat vain. For such a person, it was more reliable to say that Dumbledore had researched it than that Lockhart had. Perhaps Lockhart was just a puppet introduced by Dumbledore.

A lot of thoughts kept popping up in Cotton's mind, and his expression was uncertain. If he could become the editor-in-chief, he certainly had the ability and vision. This was big news, but the amount of information contained behind it was enough to shock the entire wizarding world. This was the reason why he hesitated.

The editor, Bobby, naturally didn't think as deeply as the editor-in-chief. He just thought this was big news. After it was sent out, it would definitely cause a sensational effect, which would be very beneficial to the sales of the Daily Prophet. In his eyes, after hearing the news, his editor-in-chief walked back and forth as if making a decision. Although he was a little confused, he still waited silently.

After a while, editor-in-chief Cotton said to Bobby, "Put this news on the front page and send it out the day after tomorrow. Tomorrow will be normal."

"Ah, okay, editor-in-chief," Bobby was stunned when he heard the instructions but nodded quickly. He seemed to understand the truth behind it, but he also didn't.

After Bobby left, Cotton waved his wand, and the quills, letter paper, and envelopes on the desk floated. As Cotton's thoughts changed, he continued to record a large amount of text. After a moment, more than ten envelopes appeared in front of him. Cotton rang the bell beside the desk, and soon, more than ten owls flew over. After a while, the owls flew away with these envelopes.

After everything was done, Cotton returned to his chair and let out a breath. He didn't dare to offend Dumbledore. The pure-blood families, who were the financial backers of the Daily Prophet, couldn't be offended either. So, he took a middle approach. He knew that when the Daily Prophet announced the news, it would cause huge waves.

Malfoy Manor.

Lucius Malfoy sat at his desk, an opened envelope placed next to him. It was a letter from Cotton, the editor-in-chief of the Daily Prophet. At this moment, Lucius rubbed his temples in distress. This year had been quite magical for him. At the beginning of the year, traces of his master, the Dark Lord, had begun to appear, making him feel terrified. Not long ago, Bellatrix's vault was stolen, which made him even more frightened. Bellatrix, who had always been in the Dark Lord's camp, held a position of power. Her vault contained many of the Dark Lord's treasures. He could imagine how angry the Dark Lord would be when he knew that his treasure had been stolen.

And the news he saw today made him feel like he was dreaming. Hogwarts had successfully developed a way for Squibs to perform magic. Once it was announced, it would definitely affect the status of pure-blood families like theirs.

But this might also be an opportunity for the rise of pure-blood families. As long as the method was in the hands of pure-blood families, the benefits were immense. Thinking of this, Lucius's breathing became rapid. He immediately wrote 11 letters and handed them to the other 11 pure-blood families on the school board. He believed that if the school board exerted full pressure, certain results should be achieved. Although Dumbledore was the principal, the costs of running Hogwarts were shared by the families who were members of the school board. Therefore, they also had considerable influence in Hogwarts.

Capítulo 136: Chapter 136: Lockhart: Can I Join the School Board?

Hogwarts

Professor McGonagall, dressed in dark green wizard robes, strode down the corridor with hurried footsteps. She held a thick stack of envelopes, her pace revealing a hint of anxiety.

"Chocolate ball!" The stone beast statue opened with a bang, and Professor McGonagall quickly walked in.

Soon, after a call to come in, Professor McGonagall opened the door and saw Dumbledore writing a letter.

"Albus, Lockhart is recruiting research assistants in the name of Hogwarts. Why didn't you mention this to me?"

Her face showed a hint of frustration as she raised the thick stack of envelopes in her hand. "I received so many letters last night, including this morning. There are a lot of them. All the owls came to me."

Her tone was laced with complaint.

"Minerva, don't be anxious," Dumbledore said, signing his name on the letter. He looked up with a smile. "I wanted to talk to you about this today."

"I didn't expect Lockhart to be so impatient. Not long after I agreed, he quickly posted the recruitment."

Hearing this, Professor McGonagall's expression softened slightly, but she still spoke with a hint of worry. "Albus, are you sure there is no problem recruiting research assistants in the name of Hogwarts?"

"This seems to be a big deal. The school board has sent letters asking about it, and their attitude isn't good."

She asked curiously, "Albus, is Lockhart's research real? How can he give Squibs the ability to cast spells?"

"Yes, Minerva," Dumbledore nodded gently. "I also participated in Lockhart's research. Indeed, it can give Squibs the ability to cast spells."

Hearing this, Professor McGonagall nodded and asked thoughtfully, "Albus, how much did you participate in this research?"

"Some of my friends have written inquiring letters. Although they didn't say it explicitly, they hinted at their suspicions. They think Lockhart might be a shield you're using to prevent any consequences."

"Minerva, what do you think?" Dumbledore asked directly instead of answering her question.

Professor McGonagall hesitated. She thought for a moment before saying, "Maybe I would have had similar thoughts before Lockhart became a professor. After all, Lockhart hadn't made any significant achievements in magic research before. However, after recent interactions, it feels like he's changed. Of course, I trust you more. You're definitely not the kind of person who would use a shield."

Dumbledore smiled at her answer. "Indeed, this research was basically completed by Lockhart alone, and I just helped polish it."

Hearing this, Professor McGonagall seemed to have thought of something. She raised the envelope in her hand and said, "Albus, would you like to read these letters? They were sent by the school board. They want to know about the research."

"They said the matter is of great importance. They want us to temporarily stop recruiting research assistants and not publicly announce the news in the Daily Prophet."

"After everyone is gathered, they will discuss it at the school board meeting and make decisions together."

Her voice was full of anger by the end. She understood the school board's attitude—they wanted to keep the research results for themselves.

Professor McGonagall knew what changes Lockhart's research would bring. If the knowledge were limited to the pure-blood families, Squibs wouldn't be able to master magic without joining a pure-blood family.

As a mixed-blood witch who was despised and bullied by pure-blood families when she was young, she understood their mindset well.

"Oh, that's right." Dumbledore's attitude remained gentle and unchanged, completely opposite to Professor McGonagall's. "You can reply to them that this research has nothing to do with Hogwarts. It was conducted by Lockhart alone."

"I'd like to emphasize that Professor Lockhart has only been at Hogwarts for a month, and this research was the result of his work before he came here."

"Okay, Albus." Professor McGonagall's lips curled up slightly at Dumbledore's reply. She could already imagine the expressions on the faces of those pure-blood families when they read the response.

"By the way, Minerva, please forward the letter from the school board to Lockhart," Dumbledore said gently. "Ask if he still wants to use the Hogwarts name to recruit assistants. If he does, there's no need to stop him."

"Okay, Albus," Professor McGonagall responded with some hesitation, clearly understanding Dumbledore's meaning.

Lockhart's Office

"Professor McGonagall, did the headmaster really say that?"

Looking at Minerva McGonagall, Lockhart asked.

"Yes, Lockhart," Professor McGonagall nodded slightly.

Lockhart looked at the school board envelope in front of him, lost in thought. He understood Dumbledore's message.

Now the choice was before him. If he chose to continue recruiting research assistants in the name of Hogwarts, it would mean in-depth cooperation with the school. Later, the school board might use this as an excuse to seize his research results and even ruin his reputation.

He had seen and experienced this kind of routine in his previous life.

But if he stopped using the name of Hogwarts to recruit research assistants, the school board would have no excuse to intervene. After all, he had only been at the school for a month. If this information were released, even a fool would know who the research results belonged to.

So, he made his choice.

"Okay, Professor McGonagall, let's continue recruiting in the name of Hogwarts."

Lockhart replied decisively. Although there were troubles with using the Hogwarts name, the benefits were significant.

The influence of Hogwarts was the pinnacle of the entire wizarding world. If he could leverage it, the advantages would far outweigh the disadvantages. It was like using the name of a renowned university to promote knowledge in his previous life. The knowledge would spread naturally, even be sought after by many.

This was the influence of prestigious schools. Hogwarts, with its long history and thousand-year reputation, was number one in the wizarding world.

It would be much easier to promote the new magic system with Hogwarts' influence.

As for the school board...

"Minerva, may I call you that? I would like to ask, can you introduce me to the school board? Also, can I join the school board?"
