Chapter 137 The Stolen Notebook
Dumbledore tapped the cup, and the hall suddenly became calm. He smiled and pointed at Lockhart, who straightened his collar and smiled brightly.

"Everyone! Everyone! Before we start the dinner, please allow me to introduce our new Magical Defense Professor, Mr. Gerald Lockhart. Okay, let's ask him to introduce himself."

"Hello everyone! I believe you must know me. The third-class badge holder of Sir Merlin, an honorary member of the Anti-Dark Arts Alliance, the winner of the most beautiful smile in several issues of Wizard Weekly from 1987 to 1989, and the most popular bookstore at Flourish and Blotts Writer, Gilderoy Lockhart!"

Hermione leaned into Hinata Hoshino's ear, and now she completely believed that Lockhart was a liar who stole his name from the world.

"It's so exaggerated, I really want to burn his books."

"I want to burn him even more."

Hinata Hoshino also leaned into Hermione's ear and whispered softly.This made a group of wizards who noticed Hinata Hoshino a little jealous.

The story of Hinata Hoshino finding the Hufflepuff Gold Cup and the Ravenclaw Diadem began to ferment, and Hinata Hoshino seemed to be a national idol in the wizarding world of Corruption.

Lockhart on the stage finished his speech quickly. As for what he said, Hinata Hoshino didn't care at all.

While Hogwarts was enjoying itself, Lucius Malfoy felt a headache.Because the notebook that Voldemort entrusted to him for safekeeping suddenly disappeared.He didn't know if that was a good thing or a bad thing.

At the suggestion of Arthur Weiss and under the pressure of the Daily Prophet's report of Voldemort's resurgence, the Ministry of Magic decided to take a series of actions to track down dark magic items.

Therefore, pure-blood families like the Malfoys are the first to bear the brunt.Lucius could only sell some magic items to Borgin Blog at a low price.

However, this notebook must not be sold. If Voldemort really comes back, this book is proof of his loyalty and his life-saving talisman.

Now that this notebook is missing, there should be no problem in their home during the subsequent searches conducted by Arthur Weasley.

But how to deal with Voldemort has become a big problem for him, so he is very worried now.

Lucius thought about it and couldn't think of a good solution, but based on his understanding of Voldemort, Voldemort would not kill him while the Malfoy family was still useful.At most, it's some punishment.

In the original plot, Lucius inserted the notebook into Ginny Weasley's new book.But because he was still useful, Voldemort did not choose to kill Lucius even if he lost a Horcrux.

Delphi looked at the notebook in his hand and began to think about whether to save this notebook or to successfully resurrect the soul fragments in the notebook.

Hinata Hoshino's wooden clone followed Delphi not far or near, recalling this memory, and seemed to throw the notebook to Lockhart, allowing him to finally shine, and then become a sacrifice for Tom Riddle's resurrection.

The wooden clone touched his chin. It seemed that Delphi was a little confused. It was time to give her some hints. A copy of the "Daily Prophet" appeared in the wooden clone's hand.

The wooden clone stirred up the breeze, and the newspaper fluttered with the breeze, hitting Delphi's face.Delphi angrily wanted to tear the newspaper into pieces, but found that the news in the newspaper was that Lockhart became the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts.

Delphi remembers clearly that in the future Lockhart was certified as a liar who only used forgetfulness.It used forgetfulness to steal the memories of many wizards, and wrote this part of the memory as his own experience in the book, causing the book he wrote to become a big hit, and most of the wizards whose memories he had erased could not remember it. Confused.

Delphi thought that since he wanted to be famous, he must want power, so why not let him become a sacrifice and help Voldemort resurrect.

From the perspective of Hinata Hoshino's eyes rolling, Delphi used her own face to convince Kreacher, the house elf of the Black family, to sneak into Lockhart's office with her and place the notebook on Lockhart's desk.

The portrait in Lockhart's office was completely unaware. Hinata Hoshino raised the corner of his mouth, and he didn't know how long Lockhart could endure it.Although this notebook was made by Voldemort when he was in school, his magical attainments were already quite high by that time.Not to mention others, he is definitely much better than Lockhart.

Hinata Hoshino doesn't know if the notebook controls Lockhart to summon the basilisk at that time. Will the basilisk still come out?
After all, Hinata Hoshino should have left a considerable psychological shadow on Basilisk.

Glancing at Hermione who was eating quietly next to him, he decided to leave some protection on Hermione.To prevent Hermione from being petrified by the basilisk like in the original plot.After obtaining the Rune Rune, the skill Mystical Protection obtained was a magical shield that could protect a person from magic damage. It quietly gave Hermione a layer of mysterious protection.

After the dinner, Lockhart returned to his office.He immediately spotted the notebook on the table.He thought that Hogwarts was the safest place in the world, so he opened the notebook carelessly.When I opened the notebook, I found that there was not a word on it.And the notebook turned out to be signed by Tom Reed.

Lockhart racked his brains and kept recalling whether he had seen this name before. He always felt that it was very familiar.Finally he remembered that when I was in school, he hoped that he could win the Student Contribution Award.So he went to the trophy room, where he once saw a trophy signed by Tom Riddle.

Lockhart thought the notebook might be some kind of magical creation.Writing appears only under certain circumstances.So Lockhart simply poured some magic power into the notebook. The notebook absorbed this small part of the magic power, and some writing began to appear on it.

"Hi, I'm Tom Riddle."

Lockhart thought for a moment and wrote his name on it, but he still kept a little caution. He did not say that he had graduated, but said that he was a student.It can only be said that he is thoughtful, but not much.

"I am Lockhart, a student of Ravenclaw."

So, under Hinata Hoshino's blank stare, Lockhart and Tom Riddle talked for a while.

Hinata Hoshino was tutoring Hermione in the Room of Requirement. After all, Quirrell was basically teaching in the first half of the semester. He usually only knew how to read and had nothing to teach others.

Although Snape talked a lot about Defense Against the Dark Arts when he took over the Defense Against the Dark Arts later, the progress was ultimately slow.

Not to mention, the professor for the second half of the semester will still be Lockhart, and Hermione is already a little desperate, but at this time Hinata Hoshino said that he could give her a make-up class, so she happily accepted.

As for how to make up lessons, in addition to teaching some content in the book, of course it is a step-by-step teaching magic. As for any physical friction that occurs during the lecture, it is reasonable, right.
