"Professor Lockhart is really talented. If you read his works carefully, you will know that it is impossible to write such good works if he has not experienced it personally!"
"His adventures are so cool! He's a living legend. I believe Professor Lockhart is just not good with words, but he's still very capable!"
"Professor Lockhart's smile is really charming~"
……
Well, leaving aside the small number of fans who only believe in Lockhart because of his looks, the vast majority of people who still firmly believe in him are basically attracted by his works.
As we all know, a person's memory cannot be Photoshopped, so the extremely realistic experiences written in novels must be true.
Well... this inference doesn't have any major logical problems. Before Adam came to this world, he had heard that a certain author wrote spy novels that were too realistic and it turned out that he was actually a spy.
But this world has more than logic, there is also magic.
So how do you defeat magic?
The famous oriental master of Qi magic, Daddy, once said:
"oops!"
Oh no...it should be:
"Use magic to defeat magic!"
Once again, Adam came to the Room of Requirement. This time, he asked for a room that was convenient for one person to create. He pushed open the door and the Room of Requirement turned into a brightly lit study.
Pulling out a chair and sitting down, Adam summoned a card with a book with a star symbol on it and placed it on the desk. In his other hand, a dark staff appeared:
"The seal is lifted!"
Without too many special effects, the main body of the card creation - the book on the card - appeared on the table.
The magic of the card creation can turn the stories written on the card creation itself into reality, including those fictional things.
Because the writing state must be maintained when activated, and the materialized things will disappear after the magic is canceled, Adam has only summoned the Create Card once before in order to familiarize himself with each Clow Card, and it is not used at all in normal times. However, it is very appropriate to use this Clow Card now.
Glancing at the alarm clock on the desk, Lockhart was about to start his performance. Adam opened the Tron and picked up the quill between the pages:
"Professor Lockhart likes writing novels, why don't you appreciate my work yourself today! After all, this is a story written for you..."
Without dipping in ink, the tip of the feather pen rustled across the paper, and the classroom where Lockhart was also quietly undergoing some changes.
"hiss--"
Ron shrank his neck and turned his head to look at Harry:
"Don't you feel a little cold?"
"Maybe the temperature has dropped."
Harry was a little listless.
Remember when they drove a flying car to Hogwarts at the beginning of the term? Although he was not expelled or had points deducted for this, he still had to be detained. He was detained at Lockhart's place for the first two days.
I spent the entire night writing a fan letter for Lockhart!
He still hasn't recovered after so many days.
Perhaps because of this, Lockhart, who had always been keen on inviting Harry to perform on the same stage with him and secretly taking advantage of Harry's popularity, rarely called another classmate to perform with him.
"Today we are going to recreate the important scene where I expelled the Wanlun ghost. Everyone must watch carefully and pay attention to how I did it."
After saying this, Lockhart smiled brilliantly, struck a pose he had done countless times, and turned to look at the child named Neville:
"Don't be afraid, just do as I wrote in my book..."
Lockhart's smile froze on his face.
The female ghost who was almost face to face with him slowly showed a smile on her expressionless face.
Adam had never seen female ghosts in this world. Based on the descriptions he had read in books, he naturally wrote female ghosts as similar to ghost nuns and Chu Renmei. However, in fact, they were much more terrifying than real female ghosts.
Therefore, Lockhart, who had never seen a real female ghost, felt his heart stop for a few seconds when he saw the female ghost with dark circles under her eyes and white pupils grinning from the corners of her mouth all the way to her ears, revealing a mouthful of jagged black teeth.
"Oh my god! Harry, look! This guy's acting skills have improved today!"
Ron was a little excited when he saw this scene and pushed Harry's arm:
"He really looks like he has seen a female ghost!"
Harry raised his eyes to the podium and saw that Lockhart's acting skills had improved greatly. Facing the timid Neville, he managed to show an extremely terrified look.
Why didn’t I see him so engaged when he performed with me before?
Could it be that Lockhart was deliberately disgusting him?
Apparently Ron was not the only one who noticed that Lockhart was abnormal today. In particular, those students who had always firmly believed in Lockhart's level looked at Lockhart expectantly.
Is it possible that Professor Lockhart is finally going to do it for real today?
“There’s a female ghost——!!!”
A sharp and distorted scream burst out from Lockhart's mouth. While screaming, Lockhart suddenly jumped half a body height, scaring Neville.
From Lockhart's perspective, the ghost girl's wet black hair slowly floated up, she raised her hands, flashed on the spot, and when she appeared again, she was suddenly a little closer to him.
“Aaaaaaaaah uh—”
Chapter 61 Some people seem to be asleep...
Ever since he fainted in class for the first time, Lockhart became a little hesitant to perform in class, and his image in the eyes of students also declined.
After all, he couldn't explain why he fainted in class. He couldn't say that he was scared by the female ghost. If he hadn't boasted before that the minor injury was nothing to him who had experienced many battles, he could have attributed it to the sequelae of the previous injury...
In fact, Lockhart seriously suspected that he was being plotted against, but he could not find any evidence, and he had no way to ask others for help directly.
He had tentatively asked his former dean, Professor Flitwick, how he should deal with a female ghost. However, Professor Flitwick knew exactly what he wanted to do and smiled, telling him that he was experienced enough. Then he didn't want to listen to his subsequent bragging and just left.
For the first time, Lockhart felt like he had shot himself in the foot.
"Classmates, in this class we will ..."
Lockhart looked at the students below, and his smile could no longer be maintained:
"Recite my work and feel how I fought against those evil creatures during my adventures."
"What's going on with this guy?"
Bernard had a face full of questions, but the people around him couldn't give him an answer. The only one who knew what happened, Adam, was controlling the shorthand quill to write on the body of the card.
"What are you waiting for?"
Looking at the confused and suspicious eyes of his classmates, Lockhart smiled and raised his hand:
"No idea? Then let me pick a passage for you..."
He casually picked up the first book from a Slytherin student's desk in the first row and flipped through it:
"Wandering with Werewolves, Chapter 2, how about starting here?"
There was no other way. No matter how outrageous Lockhart was, he was still a professor. Everyone could only pick up their books and turn to the part he mentioned and start reading:
"There in that forest, in the moonlight, I saw that creature..."
"Stop! Stop! Wait a minute!"
Lockhart hurriedly raised his hand to stop the students from reciting.
As everyone stopped, the forest and the moon in front of Lockhart disappeared, making him breathe a sigh of relief.
"Stop reading! Um, I mean... ahem! Well, the story just now was too scary. Let's change to another chapter... How about Chapter 27?"
"..."
The students looked at each other for a while, and a Lockhart fan spoke hesitantly:
"But, Professor Lockhart, Chapter 27 is the end of the story. You and the werewolf have already separated..."
"Yes! That's right! But Miss Marcel, you have to know...it is very important for you to feel the beauty of life."
Lockhart nodded seriously.
"But you just said... that you wanted us to feel how you fought against those evil creatures during your adventure."
"Um...did I say that?"
Lockhart smiled and tried to brush the matter off, but the students nodded honestly.
"Oh... Well, okay then."
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but Eugene felt that Lockhart's smile looked like crying for a moment.
Lockhart moved a chair to sit behind the podium and gave everyone a forced smile:
"Everyone, let's get started."
There was no way. He really didn't know how to take the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, but he couldn't just skip the class. Compared to actually participating in and acting with the monsters and demons, Lockhart felt that sitting here and watching wouldn't be so scary.
And maybe he won’t be able to see it if he closes his eyes?
Lockhart took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
"There in that forest, in the moonlight, I saw that creature..."
The moment the classmates' voices rang out, Lockhart's eyelids twitched.
Anyway, the professor had his eyes closed. How could he, a professor who had just taught them a few classes, still hear whether he had spoken or not?
With this thought in mind, many people simply closed their mouths, but more people kept their lips moving so as to prevent Lockhart from suddenly opening his eyes.
"Professor Lockhart seems to be listening very attentively."
Hannah muttered as we were about to reach the climax.
Ernie, who was sitting diagonally behind her, couldn't help but complain:
"Why do I feel like he's asleep?"
Adam, who wasn't worried at all about Lockhart opening his eyes, chuckled.
When everyone read the part about the werewolf's transformation at the full moon in Chapter 4, Lockhart had already fainted, but would Adam let him go so easily? So Lockhart is now continuing to love the werewolf in his dream.
If it weren't for the country's characteristics and the fear that this guy would be too happy, Adam would have planned to let the werewolf kick him in his dream.
After class, Lockhart, who had finally woken up from his nightmare, watched his classmates leave the classroom with a pale smile. It was a long time before he stood up from the chair, which was still a little wet, with trembling legs.
"What did you do to Lockhart this time?"
They didn't know what happened in other classes, but they saw Lockhart's abnormality with their own eyes in this class. When they returned to the dormitory, everyone curiously pulled Adam to the small sofa and gathered around him.
"How can you slander someone's innocence out of thin air? I was reading a book with both hands and full of emotion for the whole class!"
Adam slapped his hand on the table and spoke confidently.
"Yes, yes, we believe you."
Bernard nodded:
"Then guess what Lockhart went through in this class?"
"…My guess may not be correct."
"It's okay, we'll just treat it as a story."
Cologne remembered that he still had a bag of uneaten melon seeds, so he quickly took them from the bedside and put them on the table. The five of them each grabbed a handful.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content!
Accompanied by the sound of "crunch-crunch" of cracking melon seeds, Adam shared his "guess" with everyone, which immediately caused a burst of sighs.
“So what he wrote was not really his experience.”
Eugene looked suddenly enlightened, then frowned:
"Then how did he write it so... vividly?"
Judging from his knowledge, some of the plots in Lockhart's novels, especially the details, are consistent with reality, and it is difficult to know these things if you have not experienced them personally.
He knew this because he had read the letters his parents sent him countless times since he was a child, which was why he noticed those tiny details.
"Maybe he heard it from someone else?"
Cologne guessed, but then he lost interest in those things and looked at Adam with shining eyes:
