Lockhart stood on the platform and asked the people below.

Swish!Swish!Swish!

Soon, a group of little wizards raised their hands.

Seeing this, Lockhart directly called out, "Hermione, you speak."

After hearing this, Hermione stood up quickly, recalled the information in the textbook, and said loudly: "Professor, according to the 3D principles of casting spells, they are goal, determination, and calmness."

"..."

"To cast a spell, four basic actions must be met: a specific wand movement, the correct spell, the caster's subjective awareness of the spell's effect, and a certain degree of concentration..."

After hearing Hermione's answer, Lockhart nodded slightly and praised: "Hermione's answer is correct..."

"Ten points for Gryffindor."

As soon as Lockhart finished speaking, the little lions of Gryffindor applauded.

When the applause died down a little, Lockhart continued.

"These views are clearly written in our textbooks. They are also the consensus of all wizards over the past thousands of years."

"but...."

At the mention of 'but', Lockhart changed the subject and said calmly: "If we dig a little deeper."

"You will discover a fact that is very obvious but has been overlooked by us."

"To cast magic, the most basic elements are spells, magic power, and mental strength."

Having said this, Lockhart paused slightly, waved his wand, and these three words appeared in the air.

Looking at everyone's serious reactions, he continued: "Magic power gives us the foundation for casting spells, spells allow us to open the door to magic, and mental power gives us the possibility to cast spells successfully."

"The role of meditation is to give us a foundation for casting spells and increase the probability of casting spells."

"This is meditation, a method that can help all Squib wizards improve their magic and mental strength."

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

As soon as Lockhart finished speaking, the young wizards below applauded.

Then, when the applause had grown a little louder, Lockhart resumed his sermon.

"How does meditation improve magic power and mental strength?"

"First, we need to understand the magic elements or energy particles, which are all around us..."

“…”

"The Rune is a very special rune. It has a very high resonance with energy particles and mental power..."

“…”

"When we meditate on runes, we can not only absorb energy particles and transform them into magic power, but also use the power of runes and magic power to nourish, enhance, and change our mental strength..."

"..."

As Lockhart carefully explained the principles of meditation, he waved his wand from time to time, outlining words and runes of different colors in the air.

At the same time, in order to facilitate further understanding, we waved the magic wand and constructed the various reactions of the wizard when he was meditating.

The professors sitting in the front and the pure-blood families listened with great interest, nodding from time to time.

The little wizard near the front was also listening attentively.

Most of the wizards in the middle were probably young and unstable, and they had already started to communicate in low voices.

The group of reporters behind kept pressing the shutter buttons of their cameras.

Accompanied by a clicking sound, white light continued to flash, capturing Lockhart's figure while he was lecturing.

They all knew that Professor Lockhart would be the center of discussion tomorrow and for some time to come.

The more photos you take, the better.

Lockhart looked at the reactions of the people below, nodded slightly, and began to gradually mix in some of his own opinions.

"What I just shared with you is the most basic meditation method I have researched, also known as the Nine Element Meditation Method, which is composed of the most basic nine runes."

"However, I believe that in the future, there should be a variety of meditation methods, not only with different levels of quality, but also with their own special effects."

"For example, a meditation method that is more fire-oriented will have a certain increase in the ability to cast fire spells, and there may even be exclusive spells that match the meditation method."

Having said this, Lockhart paused, looked at the focused eyes of the many wizards below, and his tone began to become passionate.

"Think about it, in the future when we meditate and reach a certain level, we will be able to cast spells naturally, even silently and without a wand, just like the innate magic of magical creatures."

"For us wizards, this will be a milestone."

"I believe that the emergence of meditation is no less important than when wizards invented the magic wand. It will change our spellcasting concepts and habits just like the magic wand."

"The emergence of the magic wand has enabled more wizards to master magic efficiently and quickly."

"The emergence of meditation can not only further improve the efficiency of controlling magic, but more importantly, it can increase the number of our wizards."

"To enhance the potential and power of the entire wizarding world."

After he finished speaking, Lockhart changed the subject and his tone became a little serious.

"I believe that many forward-looking wizards should have discovered that the current wizarding world has become somewhat rigid over the past hundreds of years, and the probability of well-known research results appearing is getting less and less."

"Hundreds of years ago, we can recall many famous wizards and the important research results they brought one after another."

"For example, the potion fusion concept brought by Barriss Ort, the new spell combat method created by Rory Zimmerman, the spell master, and so on. We are still using the inventions left by these masters."

"But now, especially in the last hundred years, there have been so many inventions that have affected our daily lives and the way we cast spells."

"Unfortunately, there are very few."

After hearing what Lockhart said, the pure-blood families and professors sitting in the front fell into deep thought.

Because they found that there was nothing wrong with what Lockhart said.

Especially in the last hundred years, the successive appearances of two Dark Lords have dealt a heavy blow to the entire wizarding world, especially the British wizarding world where they live.

At this time, Lockhart also cooperated by pausing and letting them think for themselves.

After a moment, he said in a seductive tone.

"I believe that the emergence of meditation will inject a new source of inspiration into the increasingly rigid wizarding world."

“The current meditation method is still in its infancy and needs more irrigation and careful cultivation.”

"I hereby call upon all wizards in the entire wizarding world."

"Come, join me in studying meditation."

"Let us leave our own mark on the history of the wizarding world, just like those famous wizards in history."

"Together, let us change the wizarding world."

"Make Wizards... Great Again."

Chapter 267: Principal Dumbledore, Let’s Join Forces (Third update, please subscribe)

The Hog's Head, Hogwart.

“Make wizards great again! This sounds pretty good. I was quite excited when I heard it for the first time.”

"But is meditation really that magical? I heard that it seems to be of some use to squibs, but not of much help to us."

At a wine table on the right, a middle-aged wizard took a big sip of his wine, waved the prophecy newspaper in his hand, and spoke to his friend opposite him.

"Who knows? The newspapers exaggerate it to be quite magical. However, my child is a wizard, so he doesn't need the so-called meditation method." The wizard on the opposite side also responded loudly, and there was a hint of pride in his tone when he mentioned his child.

"However, this is an opportunity for the Squibs. This group of Squibs are lucky." The middle-aged wizard said with some regret: "It's a pity that wizards will have to do those chores in the future."

"..."

Not far from these wizards, in a corner on the other side of the bar, an old man with white hair and a handsome blond man were sitting together.

It was Dumbledore and Lockhart.

"Lockhart, it seems that ordinary wizards don't have much reaction to your research." Dumbledore raised the butterbeer on the table and joked to Lockhart.

"Haha, that's normal, Headmaster." Lockhart also replied with a smile: "No matter when or where, most people will only pay close attention to their own interests."

"My research is currently very helpful to Squibs."

"It's okay for young wizards, but for most ordinary wizards, meditation methods at this stage can't help them much."

"But later on, I will definitely research meditation methods that can also be effective for adult wizards."

Hearing this, Dumbledore nodded.

Lockhart, on the other hand, raised the butterbeer in front of him and took a sip out of curiosity.

He prefers to drink tea because tea can keep one's mind clear and the brain alert.

However, when he really needs to drink, he will not refuse.

After all, alcohol often plays the role of a catalyst.

Some transactions and some cooperation still require the support of alcohol.

However, after Lockhart finished drinking the butterbeer in front of him, he felt that the beer was different from what he had imagined. The alcohol was very light and did not make him drunk. It felt more like a bottle of beverage.

No wonder many young wizards like to drink butterbeer.

Well, this is good. I can bring it to Vientiane Book Cafe in the future as a specialty.

While Lockhart was thinking, suddenly...

"Lockhart, I heard Minerva mention that you wanted to provide Hogwarts with a certain amount of gold Galleons every year in the future."

"You want to exchange it for the chance to become an honorary member of the Hogwarts board of directors, right?"

Hearing Dumbledore's question, Lockhart nodded and asked expectantly, "Principal, is this identity okay?"

"Of course." Dumbledore nodded slowly and said, "Hogwarts' future development requires more funds."

"Especially if we recruit Squibs as students in the future, we will need more funds."

"but..."

Hearing Dumbledore's "but", Lockhart, who had been showing joy, felt his heart sink.

"I don't know if Minerva has mentioned to you that the members of the school board have been taking quite a few actions towards you recently."

"I know that." Lockhart nodded slightly and said, "That's why I want to be a member of the school board."

"This way, they won't be able to find excuses to interfere with my research later."

At this point, Lockhart's tone was full of hostility, as if he was confiding in Dumbledore.

"If this group of pure-blood families were to obtain the meditation method that I worked so hard to research."

"I can imagine that they will do everything they can to hide the meditation method in the future and only pass it on within their own family. For ordinary squibs, it is probably impossible to obtain the meditation method without signing a strict contract."

"Isn't that right, Principal?"

After hearing what Lockhart said, Dumbledore remained silent and did not give a clear response.

He still knew what pure-blood families were like.

It was precisely because of this understanding that he was worried that the conflict between Lockhart and the pure-blood family would intensify. What consequences would that bring about?

He felt a headache when he thought about it.

The pure-blood family has a deep foundation, and there are many old monsters behind it.

Lockhart is also quite capable and has top-notch talent, coupled with his firm, even stubborn character and idealistic goals.

What kind of trouble will arise in the end?

He witnessed with his own eyes how two extremely talented wizards gradually embarked on the path of becoming the Dark Lord.

If he saw his student become the third generation Dark Lord, his blood pressure would probably rise suddenly.

Fortunately, the student in front of him showed no signs of being a dark wizard and still retained his passion for knowledge and research.

If he really became a dark wizard and embarked on the path of the Dark Lord, he didn't know whether he should take the initiative to completely eliminate the hidden dangers for the British wizard world.

After all, the current wizarding world can't stand repeated turmoil.
