Chapter 121 The Wonderful Mechanisms of the Magical World
The accident that occurred at the Fairy Tale Adventure Training Ground was nothing more than a trivial matter to Lockhart.
He had been teaching at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for six months, during which time he had been constantly exploring practical activities of "fairytale-style romantic adventures," and he was all too aware of the differences in strength between young wizards.
Consider the ridiculously exaggerated magical power of figures like Dumbledore, Grindelwald, Voldemort, and Nicolas Flamel; a single spell could destroy a city. They lived for hundreds of years until they got tired of living and simply gave up on forging the Philosopher's Stone.
Then look at the Ministry of Magic, where a large portion of the ordinary wizards can't even cast the Ironclad Charm, and perhaps even worse.
The difference between people can sometimes be greater than the difference between people and pigs.
Magic, like mathematics in his previous life, has always been a game for the few.
If we face the reality of this gap and know that the difference in strength and potential between young wizards can be enormous, then we will be able to take a more relaxed attitude towards certain aspects of teaching.
Unlike Snape, who cursed during class every day.
Is rushing this kind of thing useful? No, it's useless. Respect everyone's destiny. All a professor can do is try his best to help those destined for mediocrity acquire more skills that could potentially change their lives in the future. That's all.
Just as Lockhart once said to Hermione, who came to seek his advice—sometimes we have to realize the limitations of our own abilities and luck, and becoming a hero's or a demon's follower is also a good choice.
Fairy Tale Adventure Training offers a chance for talented young wizards to shine and enter the most suitable state for magic to bloom, and it is also an opportunity for those without talent to improve themselves.
As a writer, he knows all too well how to configure an adventure team so that even a mediocre wizard can benefit from the "protagonist's" aura.
The opportunity has been given, so the young wizards must have the courage to take a chance and bravely follow the team to find their own magical path. Perhaps magic will give them endless possibilities.
If you shrink back out of fear and stop here, then there's nothing to say.
Professor Lockhart neither pressured nor criticized him.
She offered comfort to the young wizards with her most charming and perfect smile, but that was all.
Having done everything he could, he chose to dedicate his limited energy to his magical path and continue to move forward bravely.
Lockhart discovered something very strange.
His companions—the little golden retriever, the wronged fairy, and Boggart—and even the newly joined sack, were not afraid of his "mind cleansing spell."
This was a very important discovery, because the banshee he had thrown into the adventure scene had gotten a few drops of rainwater imbued with the power of the Guardian Angel's spell because she hadn't dodged in time. She let out a mournful wail and hid away, and still looked listless.
Dumbledore had been amazed by this situation before in the headmaster's office. These dark magic creatures were unharmed by the Patronus horses and could even interact with them intimately, something he had never seen before.
Lockhart subconsciously thought that this was because his magic was unique.
It turns out that's not the case; what's unique are these friends.
To this end, he conducted a special experiment, selecting a Boggart from the dark magic creatures provided by the Wizarding Examination Authority, and then placing it in a fairy tale book to cast the spell.
Good heavens, the Mind Cleansing spell, which had become more skillful due to its repeated casting, almost killed this Boggart!
What is this?
A wizarding version of "When one attains enlightenment, even his chickens and dogs ascend to heaven"?
Oh, Lockhart certainly had an idea. He had previously discussed the difference between magical creatures and magical beasts with the students of the Duel Club, mentioning the idea that magical creatures, by participating in "wizard life" and even further, "wizard fairy tale adventures," began to exhibit the biological characteristics of magical beasts.
This line of thinking is precisely the reason why he arranged for young wizards to practice fairy tale adventures, allowing young wizards with ordinary talents to adventure alongside outstanding young wizards.
Lockhart quickly flipped through his memory, searching for any possible corroborating evidence.
He actually found it!
The Army of Dumbledore, assembled by Harry Potter, the savior!
The young wizards in this club who practiced magic with Harry Potter saw a significant improvement compared to those who learned from professors.
The most obvious example is the Guardian Charm.
This is one of the oldest spells still preserved in modern wizarding society. It is extremely difficult to master. The effect of a wizard casting the spell is usually just to release a silver light, and only a few can summon a complete guardian deity.
But Dumbledore's Army is so magical that almost every young wizard in it possesses a complete Patronus Charm.
As for things like Ironclad Spells, those are the most basic operations.
Such an amazing achievement, if one doesn't know much about magic, one could almost say that Harry Potter is the most brilliant educator of our time, whose ability to cultivate students surpasses that of Professor McGonagall, Professor Snape, Professor Flitwick, and many other professors at Hogwarts—he accomplished what the professors couldn't.
Lockhart knew about magic, and he knew that the power of magic came from the mind. Harry, on the other hand, had not shown any ability to understand others' minds, so how could he possibly discover and train each person to bring out their unique characteristics?
adventure!
Lockhart had his own judgment, and this was the benefit of adventuring with the "heroes." In order to catch up with the progress of the fairy tale, the supporting characters began to violate the settings of their talents, which were either terrible or ordinary in the early stages, and their strength increased by leaps and bounds.
It's like a fairy tale coming into reality!
In a world with magical powers, is this really how it works?
This discovery inevitably made him think of Grindelwald's Saints, Dumbledore's squad formed to target the Saints, Voldemort's Death Eaters, and Dumbledore's Order of the Phoenix formed to target the Death Eaters.
Even other clubs, organizations, or small groups.
For example, in the Raiders group, Peter Pettigrew is just a sidekick, a weakling, but when you take him out and compare him to the new generation, he's incredibly strong.
Join the protagonist on a fairytale adventure.
Lockhart figured all this out, and a ridiculous idea popped into his head—should he sign up for the Order of the Phoenix, or even create an alternate account to infiltrate the Death Eaters and ride the coattails of the protagonist's rise to power?
Amazing! As he delved into the mechanisms of the magical world, he saw countless cheat codes waiting for him to experience.
As the saying goes, if you're interested, you should take action. He began to plan and consider the feasibility of this matter.
It should be relatively easy to infiltrate the Order of the Phoenix, since Dumbledore is very clear that he has completely stood on the opposite side of Voldemort.
He has a good relationship with Professor McGonagall, Professor Snape, Mad-Eye Moody, Mundungus, and others in the Order of the Phoenix, as well as with future members like Harry and Hermione.
It's much more difficult with the Death Eaters.
Firstly, having died once, and with many Death Eaters claiming they were forced to commit suicide to escape punishment, Voldemort was no longer so convinced of the loyalty of his subordinates, and even less likely to trust newly joined henchmen of unknown origin.
Secondly, he didn't want to appear subservient and do murder for Voldemort. He needed to have more qualities that Voldemort valued and respected. It would be better if he had the advantage of having significant social influence, but he couldn't do that by using an alias.
Oops, something's not right!
Lockhart suddenly thought of a particularly good angle!
A professional Yaxley!
What if he were to be known as "Corban Yaxley," the veteran Death Eater in disguise?
Just like how Barty the Death Eater disguised himself as Mad-Eye Moody, a member of the Order of the Phoenix, and went to Dumbledore's Hogwarts to teach.
One lesson lasts for the entire school year.
Oh my god~
This path is actually feasible!
That perfectly fits his methods as a "life thief"!
This matter clearly needs to be handled gradually; Coban Yaxley isn't someone you can easily find an opportunity to strike.
But nothing is more difficult than the Forest Witch, Dumbledore's friends, and others; he'll always find an opportunity!
Lockhart looked down at his chin and chuckled.
Stimulate!
This is so exciting!
This is the passionate life I've always longed for; it couldn't be more interesting!
