Lockhart heaved a sigh of relief when he found that Fang Yan was not angry because of his insolence, and was giving orders to the group of handsome and muscular men under his command.
"call……"
He was about to leave Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and go to the United States Ministry of Magic to serve as Minister, so he was a little too proud of himself.
Fang Yan has never been a good person! Lockhart knows this better than anyone else.
In front of Fang Yan, even the Dark Lord would be defeated! No...
The word "frustrated" is too weak to describe how terrifying Fang Yan is.
Even if it was Voldemort, if he was his enemy, he would be defeated, disgraced, humiliated, and become his personal pet.
But to be honest, with Fang Yan, the official "Assistant Professor", around, Lockhart had a very good time this year.
For a whole year, Lockhart had been slacking off and doing nothing.
From teaching records to personal life, he is completely at the mercy of Fang Yan!
As such, he can also receive full salary from Hogwarts.
Is there anything more joyful than being a salary thief? From the magical ceiling, the sky is dark and cloudy, as if something important is about to happen.
Such changes seemed to imply that Headmaster Dumbledore had also noticed Fang Yan's actions.
But what does that have to do with me?
Lockhart raised the corners of his mouth and combed his hair with his hands. He was as exaggerated as ever and boasted to the ignorant wizard apprentices: "I have created many excellent works, such as "Sailing with Vampires", "Weekends with Werewolves", "Traveling with Giants" and "Days with Snowmen".
"But……"
"I am Gilderoy Lockhart, a member of the Order of Merlin, third class, an honorary member of the Dark Arts Defense League, and the winner of the Witch Weekly's Most Charming Smile Award for five consecutive times."
"I firmly believe that my greatest masterpiece is 'My Pen Pal, the Great Fang Yan'. I'm afraid I will never be able to write a novel as good as that new book in my lifetime. You really should buy it and read it during your holidays!"
Although many people are Fang Yan's pen pals, for example, a certain Pokémon tycoon who made his fortune by running a black magic supplies store - Borgin and Bork, but...
It is still a great honor!
After spending a whole year in Hogwarts, Lockhart was really frustrated!
As soon as today was over, he would resign from his cursed position as Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor.
God have mercy on him, Lockhart has been under duress for the past year!
The White Devil is fine.
I just made a mistake that all young people would make and broke some laws, but...
That wicked fellow had seized upon me and used it as a threat, forcing me, a promising young man and a star writer, to take up a position where the curse of black magic had not yet dissipated! Fang Yan was even more outrageous.
I originally thought that it was a friendly pen pal meeting. After the first meeting, I would be able to conquer Fang Yan, the "boy who conquered the Dark Lord", with my personal charm. However, it turned out that I was overthinking.
The person who is conquered is yourself.
The unmatched magical crushing made Lockhart succumb to Fang Yan's tyranny.
After a confrontation, Lockhart finally understood...
How could Fang Yan, who could even conquer Voldemort, be incapable of dispelling the curse of the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts?
The game between him and Dumbledore, the teacher-student pair, revolved around this position.
Unfortunate Lockhart became the punching bag caught between the two men.
Fortunately, unlike Dumbledore.
Fang Yan, who understands people's hearts better, would occasionally take action during the cooperation to enhance Lockhart's momentum and reputation.
If you think about it this way, he is not at a loss.
Today is the last day of the second grade for Fang Yan, Harry Potter and others.
In other words, the days of trying to survive in the cracks between Fang Yan and Dumbledore were gone forever! He could finally return to his true nature and brag about himself! At this moment, Lockhart wanted to brag and show off!
After the banquet, he arrived at the Hufflepuff common room first with a strong sense of purpose.
——The door of the common room was hidden at the end of a quiet corridor. On the enchanted wall hung a huge tapestry embroidered with the badger emblem of Hufflepuff House.
The meticulous lines outline a cute badger, which holds a wooden stick and has a look of determination and courage in its eyes.
Waving his wand, he pushed open the heavy wooden door, and was greeted by a warm feeling.
In the lounge, the brass chandelier emits a soft glow, illuminating the warm and cozy space.
On the walls hang photos of Hufflepuff students from past generations. Their faces are filled with proud and happy smiles, as if telling the glorious history of the college.
On the soft sofa, a dozen students were talking eagerly.
"Senior Newt is so strong. He is totally unbeatable in Wonderland!"
"He should be called Grandpa Newt... I went to the library to look up some information and found that his birthday was February 24, 1897..."
"Damn it, I really want to defeat him!"
"If you can defeat him first, you can get the 100% drop rate of [Disposable Pensieve·Memory Fragment·Newt's Experience in Raising Magical Beasts] and his 'Private Magical Beast Recipe'! I want it so badly!"
In the corners of the room, pots of lush green plants are full of vitality, adding a touch of nature to the lounge.
In the fireplace, the orange-red flames jump, emitting bursts of warmth, accompanied by the crackling sound of burning wood, creating a cozy home atmosphere.
Here, time seems to slow down.
"Newt Scamander, the super elite and legendary figure of Badger Court?"
Lockhart's arrival broke the quiet atmosphere in the lounge. He said: "I know something about him - although he yearns for peace, Newt is also familiar with dueling skills."
"For example, before he was arrested, he used a full-body binding spell on the No-Maj Bentley."
"Later, with the help of the Winged Demon, he escaped from the pursuit of several MACUSA Aurors."
"Newt was even able to resist the attacks of the dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald to a certain extent, which shows that he is proficient in the use of war magic."
As he spoke, Lockhart flicked his wand and said proudly, "As a parting gift, I will complete the first run of the permanent secret magic [Fangyan Game·Wonderland of Honor] in the Hufflepuff Common Room!"
