This is what Ravenclaw looks like..

Chapter 232 Lockhart’s Plan
Students can't keep secrets.

The next morning, when Andrew returned to the cafeteria for lunch after his routine run, he heard various versions of the adventure.

There are currently five versions, and it is unknown whether there will be more in the future.

The most outrageous version was that they killed a dragon alone and then obtained the dragon's treasure - but because they couldn't produce the treasure, this version was quickly ridiculed by a group of Ravenclaw students and could not be continued.

"Taylor, what on earth did you risk?"

...

How do I put it? I went on a trip and took a bath at the same time?

Andrew didn't even feel anything unusual when soaking his feet - there was no warmth, no mysterious power suddenly awakening, it was just a pool of spring water, if there was anything a little outrageous, it was that it didn't freeze in the winter, that's all...

Moreover, exposing someone else's boasting was an extremely unfriendly act, and he had no intention of doing so.

"I'm a little clumsy with my words, so just listen to them," Andrew explained with a smile. Although this might cause some misunderstandings - it wasn't a big problem.

So rumors began to spread openly in the castle, but what surprised Andrew was that his reputation was rarely improved.

Because in the final version of the adventure, the three students from the three colleges felt that they were not strong enough after discovering the secret treasure. After begging Andrew and promising sufficient rewards, Andrew even invited the principal - he is truly a trustworthy adventure partner.

-

"Haha, Harry, stop joking. How could it be possible? He was just a student... Invite the headmaster. Do you think Dumbledore has the time to participate in the students' playing house?"

Sirius was laughing so hard in the office that he couldn't stop, and even lost his composure and pounded the table with his fists.

His godson was so adorable—at twelve years old, he still believed in such a fairy-tale story.

Three students paid and were then taken on an amazing adventure by Dumbledore?
"Harry...haha..."

Sirius patted his godson, and the Transfiguration textbook fell to the ground. "Listen, I tell you, this is impossible. That's Dumbledore. If he is willing to take risks for a little reward, the Hogwarts castle will be filled with gold, especially through students..."

He managed to stop smiling - he had always been called childish, but now he could finally teach his godson some truths.

"Get to the heart of the story, Harry. The three students can never come up with a reward that would make Dumbledore take action. Even at the end of the adventure, they can't produce a decent treasure, let alone at the beginning of the adventure."

He ruffled his godson's hair. "Well, you obviously don't believe me, but we have a better way to verify it. Go ask Hagrid. If you insist that they really went on an adventure, there must be a return trip. Hagrid will know about it. Go ask him, and those lies will disappear."

Harry was a little angry - the story he told as big news was ridiculed by Sirius, which really made him feel belittled, especially the lying part.

Fortunately, Sirius was willing to verify it, which made him reluctantly forgive the other party.

Well then, let’s go find Hagrid and see if the story is true!

-

It didn't take long for the two of them to find Hagrid. Sirius told him about his adventure with a smile, and then looked forward to Hagrid's destined answer.

It's time to teach your own children some truth!

However, in Sirius's confident eyes, Hagrid scratched his head, "Ah, so, it's an adventure. I was wondering why Dumbledore took the students away from school and returned."

??? Sirius’ eyes widened.

Harry looked at Sirius, his face full of pride.

"Leaving school and returning?"

"Yes, Dumbledore, Andrew and three senior students came back together."

Sirius felt that he had drunk the wrong potion today - no, it must be Snotlout who poisoned the food!
Otherwise, why would such an illusion appear!
Oh, and Andrew - it was outrageous enough that you decided to hire the professor, but why did Dumbledore come after you spent money!

What the ghosts said is true, but isn’t it too true?

嗏

He didn't even take the money from me!
Garlon sent over the bill of exchange from Gringotts, but the other party returned it without even looking at it, and even claimed that Garlon's staying in school had nothing to do with him!

"I don't know if it matters or not. Are Galleons not enough? But if I want to get the magic items, I have to go home... I don't want to go back to that place at all. It's too suffocating..."

"I still have to go back. I spent money to get even Dumbledore. This is too scary - is the other party Fudge's illegitimate son? Ah, no, it can't be a member of the Dumbledore family who is living among the people, right?"

"It's hard to say. That talent for Transfiguration... and the terrifying power that is considered the greatest in the school..."

'Damn, don't I hate this?'

Sirius shook off the random thoughts in his mind and decided not to think about the bloodline issues that only pure-blood families would think about.

-

"Damn it, this great adventure has nothing to do with me!"

"Dumbledore is the same, and so is Taylor... They have nothing to do with each other..."

Lockhart crumpled up the manuscript he had written and threw it away heavily - he had missed too much.

He even missed the big adventure on Christmas Eve!
Without knowing the specific details, it is impossible to write a good story. The most important thing is that he himself did not participate in it, which greatly reduced the value of these stories.

However, it is impossible to apply it because the risk of exposure is too great.

What's even sadder is that, according to the current pattern, future adventure stories may have nothing to do with him, making it impossible for him to write a good story.

'I can't go on like this, I have to make a change.'

He began to use his little-used brain.

'If the next story doesn't involve me, then I have to find a way to connect these people to me - at least a very strong connection.'

"And if we include these people, we can even mix in the previous stories... That's right, we can even publish a book about Lockhart's students!"

'Not yet. Public lectures can't be connected. Only clubs can. Yes, I have to create a club that can attract them, a club that makes people feel that it is related to adventure!'
