061 Professor Lockhart's Parseltongue Class
"Good memories have always been the best tool to combat the influence of dark magic. They not only affect the power of the magic we use, but also subtly change our mindset."
In the office, Professor Lockhart continued in his gentle voice, "But sometimes we find that we don't have many memories worth calling good ones. Life is always mundane, and life is full of too many bad things."
"What should we do?"
"Once we realize this, we need to adjust our mindset and actively seek happiness in life. We also need to change our behavior to create and pursue more beautiful, joyful, and wonderful experiences."
He looked at Ginny meaningfully and added cryptically, "Remember this, it's also the secret to preventing us from becoming dark wizards, and the secret to resisting the influence of dark magic."
"Okay~"
Lockhart snapped his fingers lightly. "That's enough for today's attempt."
Ginny and Luna both breathed a sigh of relief, finally freeing themselves from the terrible feeling of fear that filled their hearts. They looked at each other and then at Professor Lockhart behind his desk.
"You all did a great job."
The professor praised them, took two rows of chocolates with his signature from the shelf behind him, handed them over, and instructed them with a smile, "Remember the feeling of exploring the wonderful memory you just experienced. When you go back, you can try some things, try to immerse yourselves in that feeling, and use the magic you are familiar with."
"You will discover some wonderful changes."
His smile was so bright and warm that it dispelled the negative emotions that had just affected his mind.
After the two little witches finished tasting the chocolate and returned to normal, he extended an invitation to them, "I would like to invite you to join my 'Duel Club'..."
But the two little witches didn't seem very interested; they just looked at his bright smile and didn't know how to refuse.
This is no problem for Lockhart.
He smiled at Luna and said, "I have a good relationship with Xenophilius. He would blame me if he knew that I was a professor at Hogwarts and didn't take good care of his daughter."
"Of course, I also hope you can make better use of your abilities. You should know that there is probably no other wizard in the world who understands how to guide you to find those interesting 'magical creatures' better than I do." (ps: referring to harassment.)

Xenophilius Lovegood, Luna's father, raised Luna single-parent after her mother died in a magical experiment when Luna was 9 years old.
He was the editor-in-chief of The Quibbler, so he naturally had some dealings with well-known writers like Lockhart.
Of course, there's another connection: Xenophilius is also a member of the Hibiscus Ravenclaw Alumni Association, but he doesn't really connect with Lockhart, who is obsessed with fame and fortune, and they rarely have any real conversations.
Luna hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded and gave a soft "Mmm".
As for Ginny Weasley...
She had been feeling terrible lately, often waking up suddenly somewhere in the school for no apparent reason, sometimes even covered in blood, and instinctively afraid of having too much contact with the school professors.
Tom Riddle's influence was also partly behind the scenes.
However, Lockhart knew exactly how to handle it.
As he said, beauty and happiness are the best ways to combat the effects of dark magic.
For Ginny, there was nothing more joyful than being able to spend time with Harry Potter!
"Oh, Ginny, your twin brothers George and Fred, and Ron are all in my dueling club, as are Harry Potter and the others. Don't worry, come on over, everyone will take care of you."
As for his other brother, Percy, he wasn't in the Duel Club; he was a member of the NEWT Promotion Class.
Harry!
Study with Harry!
Ginny's eyes lit up, and she could no longer care about anything else. Suppressing her excitement, she nodded vigorously, "It's my honor, Professor Lockhart!"
"very good!"
Lockhart looked at them with a smile. "Trust me, you'll find it incredibly fun to learn from me!"
……
After Ginny got back, she told Mr. Diary about her plan to join the Duel Club. He was her best friend with whom she shared everything.
Tom Riddle, Tom's best friend, cursed under her breath for causing trouble, but didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
When he was studying at Hogwarts, he also had a professor who liked to recruit outstanding young wizards to participate in his club, and a professor who gave him a lot of guidance in Horcrux magic.
Professor Horace Slughorn, a member of the Holy Twenty-Eight Pure-Blood Families, was the Head of Slytherin House and the founder of the Slug Club.
This club is full of talented people, from Ministry of Magic officials to newspaper editors, from the owner of Bee Duke Candy Stores to the current divination professor Sybil Trelawney, and has built a powerful network of connections.
Among them are wizards who participated in the First Wizarding War: Voldemort, Lily Evans (who killed Voldemort), Lucius Malfoy, Regulus Black (Sirius's brother)...
Tom, Ginny's best friend, feigned encouragement to join the club founded by the professor, hoping to observe what outstanding new talents Hogwarts might have so that he could recruit them as his subordinates after his resurrection.
But he never expected that Ginny's first experience at the "Duel Club" would be an argument.
Yes, they argued, almost came to blows.
When Ginny and her friend Luna came to the professor's office after class to participate in an activity for the first time, they saw Malfoy and his group humiliating Harry Potter as soon as they entered.
They seemed to be talking about how Harry had fainted the last time they faced the Dementors...
Oh!
Merlin's purple bow hair tie!
Harry has fainted!
Ginny looked at Harry with great concern, only to see Harry clenching his fists helplessly, panting heavily, and glaring at Malfoy. The people around him didn't seem to be of any use; his brother Ron, George, Fred, and Hermione all looked annoyed, as if they had been scolded.
She immediately became furious.
She had originally planned to act more ladylike, but she just rushed forward.
Draco Malfoy was alright; he only said sarcastic things. But his two henchmen, Goyle and Crabbe, and his echo Pansy, were far too harsh!
That's too harsh!
Brave Ginny, fearless of anything!
Then the brothers and other friends quickly followed, and the office became quite lively.
The noise continued until Professor Lockhart arrived at his office carrying a cage containing a long, colorful snake.
The long snake is a frozen snake unique to the Ireland region.
Professor Lockhart said that this magical creature is something that Muggles never see, yet it is included in Muggle textbooks and popular science books with great seriousness, and a tradition has been created for it.
It is said that when winter comes, ice snakes freeze into icicles. Local elderly people collect ice snakes and use them as walking sticks, making walking safe and quick. Residents collect many ice snakes, string them together with thin ropes, and hang them in front of doors and windows to block the wind. However, every winter and spring, those "walking sticks," "door curtains," and "window curtains" secretly slip away.
Of course, these are not the point.
The focus of today's lesson is on one hundred commonly used words related to snakes.
Professor Lockhart understands balance. In the previous classes, he demonstrated to the young wizards how the Dementors, dark magic creatures, made Harry Potter perform poorly. This class was clearly the perfect opportunity for Harry Potter to shine.
True to his style, he would teach the gifted wizards first, and then let them teach the other wizards, making the lesson much easier—Harry didn't even need him to teach him.
Of course, Harry couldn't actually tell when he was speaking human language and when he was speaking Parseltongue.
Then, a talented player who no one expected appeared – Ron Weasley.
He could accurately imitate Harry's Parseltongue, confirm the meaning of the Parseltongue phrase with Harry, and have everyone learn and write it down.
Then something interesting happened.
The young wizards never expected that there was such a master!
Ginny Weasley!
She learned it very easily, at a speed that made it seem like she was a snake-talker!
The brothers were very surprised by this.
Ginny was extremely pleased with herself.
She was used to receiving everyone's amazed gazes, but Harry Potter was also looking at her with delight!
Harry even had the feeling that he wasn't an outcast, that there were other people in the world who shared his talent in this area.
Oh~~
We're the same kind, Harry!
Ginny blushed with excitement.
This feels so wonderful.
Professor Lockhart is right, learning from him is a really fun and interesting thing!
Tom Riddle, her best friend, didn't find it pleasant at all.
Because he seems to have discovered that both Harry Potter and Ginny Weasley seem to be using his abilities!
his!
Who will feed me peanuts!
Feed me peanuts!!!
