Hogwarts: I am Harry's eldest cousin

He stole the experiences of other wizards and used the Memory Charm to make them forget everything.

"Lockhart attacked those wizards? Stole their work?!"

After listening to Dudley's story, Hermione gritted her teeth and said, "What a hopeless bastard."

If there is anything worse than plagiarism, it is stealing from the original author and gags them.

"So he's in Azkaban. That's the punishment he deserves."

Dudley tapped the cover of the book with his knuckles.

"The deeds in the books belong to other wizards, they are not made up out of thin air."

"The wizard in this book defeated the werewolf, not with wolfsbane potion, but with a spell."

Dudley emphasized on the wolfsbane potion.

"Oh my god," Hermione exclaimed.

Apparently she reacted.

So far, the only way in the wizarding world that can restore a werewolf's sanity and transform into a human form is the wolfsbane potion. If Lockhart's description is true, it means that a spell can be used to restore a werewolf's sanity.

Not all werewolves become werewolves voluntarily; the vast majority are forced to become werewolves.

For example, some werewolves spread malicious messages.

These werewolf wizards cannot integrate into the normal wizard camp. They lose their minds and transform at least once a month, which will discourage most wizards. In most cases, they are forced to join the dark wizard camp because of life. A small number will not join either side and wander in the gray area until they die alone.

The only antidote, wolfsbane potion, is also a very expensive potion. The high production process requirements and expensive raw materials are the main reasons why a bottle of wolfsbane potion is hard to come by.

The most important point is that most werewolf wizards are very poor.

No werewolf wizard would be willing to spend a high price to buy a bottle of wolfsbane potion just to suppress the transformation once a month.

If this spell can be found, it will definitely be good news for these people.

Good news for the entire wizarding world.

"I think I should go meet my former Defense Against the Dark Arts professor."

Dudley said so, he wanted to learn this spell.

Azkaban is the highest level prison in the wizarding world, located on a small island in the cold waters of the North Sea. It is a wizard prison located on an isolated island far away from the crowd.

It is guarded by a group of horrible creatures called Dementors who feed on sucking the souls of others.

Compared with the clear skies in other sea areas, the sky over Azkaban is always covered with dark clouds, which looks very gloomy.

Dudley came to the island by boat.

"Mr. Dursley, we can only send you here. In front is where Lockhart is imprisoned."

The nominal jailer of Azkaban said on the boat, looking with lingering fear at the small island not far away and the black robes fluttering in the sky.

Even a normal person would go crazy if they stayed in Azkaban for too long.

In name, Azkaban is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Magic, but in reality, the Dementors and the Ministry of Magic are not in a subordinate relationship, let alone a cooperative relationship.

The Ministry of Magic is only responsible for dropping prisoners on this island, which is guarded by Dementors.

Rather than saying that the Ministry of Magic hired the Dementors, it would be more accurate to say that the Ministry of Magic fed the Dementors.

Of course, an agreement was also signed between the Ministry of Magic and the Dementors, which prohibited the Dementors from leaving Azkaban without reason and also prohibited them from attacking people from the Ministry of Magic.

"I see."

Dudley didn't care about the Dementors in the sky at all and walked straight towards where Lockhart was imprisoned.

Soon, he came to a cell where a dusty man was lying dejectedly inside.

Lockhart.

After being imprisoned in Azkaban for a while, Lockhart was in a very bad condition.

According to the jailers, Lockhart is particularly popular with the Dementors.

It seems to be because he has many pleasant experiences.

Happiness is the food of Dementors.

"My dear Professor Lockhart, you look terrible. I think your new book should be changed from "Me and Hogwarts" to "Me and Azkaban."

“Maybe it will be unexpectedly popular.”

Dudley's voice caught Lockhart's attention.

After seeing that it was Dudley, Lockhart crawled to the cell as if he had seen a life-saving straw.

"Mr. Dursley, help me!"

It was obvious that Lockhart had fond memories of his time in Azkaban. Look how excited this kid was.

"I think we should make a deal."

Dudley pulled a few books from his pocket and handed them to Lockhart.

"I need you to tell me the news about the wizards whose memories you erased."

Each of Lockhart's books represents the memory of a wizard he has erased, and each wizard here has impressive experience and strength, and their experience is what Dudley values.

Don't expect the Ministry to find and treat these wizards.

Waiting for the Ministry of Magic to do things will be useless even if the flowers wilt.

"I'll tell you everything. As long as you can rescue me, I'll tell you everything."

Lockhart said with tears in his eyes.

At this time, he no longer cared about his image, he just wanted to get out of this damn place.

Dementors were so terrifying that he vowed to write a novel about them when he got home.

"Professor Lockhart, I think you've got one thing wrong. I'm not consulting with you."

"Although it's a deal, I have the final say on the content."

Dudley patted Lockhart on the shoulder.

"You have no room for bargaining, you can refuse if you can bear the consequences."

"pain."

Lockhart fell to the ground and twitched as if he had been electrocuted.

Dudley had merely stimulated his pain nerves.

"You don't think I'm more merciful than a Dementor, do you?"

Chapter 181: The Wizards in Lockhart's Story

Half an hour later, Dudley came out of the cell satisfied. He had obtained the information he wanted.

He has obtained the addresses of the wizards who were cursed with oblivion.

As for whether they can find it, that depends on the luck of these wizards.

Before leaving, Lockhart tried to use the excuse that "no one wants to listen to the story about an old and ugly wizard, so why not let him spread it" to make Dudley agree with his approach.

However, Dudley was not a child and would not be fooled by him.

No matter what his reason is, it is not a reason for him to hurt others.

He could have handled it in a softer way, such as buying the copyright to the stories and adding the wizards' names to them.

As long as there are enough gold galleons, with the dual blessing of fame and money, I believe many people will agree.

Too bad Lockhart chose another approach.

Because it is not my own experience, I cannot use it as a hype point, and perhaps I cannot attract so many readers.

Excessive greed was the cause of his fate.

He deserves it! He deserves it!

It was impossible to get him out of Azkaban, and Dudley would not do it even if he could, but he could apply for a suitable reduction in his sentence.

For example, now he has to spend a full ten years in Azkaban.

Dudley could cut it down to five years, and if he wasn't crazy, he could still lead a normal wizard life after he got out.

The premise is that the wizards he cast the forgetfulness spell on are still alive.

On the way back, Dudley did not walk in a straight line, but took a detour.

He saw many prisoners of Azkaban, and his data eyes scanned them one by one.

Years of life in Azkaban have tortured them to the point of insanity, their magic power has slightly decreased, and their muscles are showing signs of atrophy.

But as long as they can get out, they are still a group of destructive villains.

Finally he saw a man squatting quietly in the corner.

He looked as if he had been played with, with disheveled hair, a beard, and dull eyes.

There wasn't a single will to live in him, and he exuded a decadent, rotten smell. Even the Dementors were reluctant to get close to such a person.

Without happiness, there is no nutrition.

When passing by this man's cell, Dudley 'accidentally' dropped a newspaper, which fell in front of the man. On the front page was a photo of the Weasley family winning the lottery.

Dudley acted very secretly. There was no one else around except the Dementors, and the Dementors could not speak, let alone tell wizards.

Coming out of Azkaban, looking at the white paper with countless addresses written on it in his hand, Dudley chose the nearest location.

"I'll be busy next time."

If we were to ask what the fastest thing in the magical world is, it would definitely be movement speed.

Airplanes in the ordinary people's world are nothing compared to the teleportation.

Of course, the prerequisite is that you must know this magic and not make mistakes.

Dudley spent a whole week visiting the wizards one by one according to the addresses given by Lockhart.

Obviously, the process was not smooth.

Lockhart has a total of ten series of books. Except for the selected collection "Gilderoy Lockhart Series", the remaining nine books were published over a period of 1 to 10 years. If you take into account the time he had to spend on compiling the books, the span is even longer.

Otherwise, why do people say Lockhart is a bastard?

This guy only cared about stealing and casting forgetfulness spells, completely ignoring how the wizards who had lost their memories would survive after he left, and he didn't even care about their basic life.

When Dudley arrived at the address, either the person was gone and nowhere to be found, or he had already died and turned into earth.

The wizards chosen by Lockhart all have one characteristic: they have great magical powers but remain silent. Most of them have no desire for fame or fortune and live a hermit-like life.

The most crucial point is that there are no offspring.

In other words, Lockhart specifically targets empty-nest old wizards.

According to the addresses in the first eight books, Dudley only found two old wizards. This was because the works they experienced were relatively early in time, so they had no problems for the time being. It was just that their lives were a bit miserable after losing their memories. After all, they even forgot how to cast spells.

One is the gap-mouthed old witch who expelled the Wanlun ghost, and the other is the bald old wizard who defeated the vampire.

When Dudley found them, they were either picking up garbage to eat, or they were dizzy and dying from hunger in the messy house.

'Lockhart is a jerk'

Dudley temporarily placed them together, planning to find them all and then treat them one by one.

Normally, the counter-spell of the Obliviate spell (Obligate) is the Resurrection spell (Restoring memories), but Lockhart's Obliviate spell is rather special. After all, it is the only spell he has practiced all his life and is good at, and this guy did not use enough force to damage the brains of the two wizards.

A simple resuscitation spell would not be enough to restore them.

Continuous treatment must be carried out in conjunction with potions, and even then Dudley is not 100% sure.

Now, Dudley has come to the place where the last wizard is located, a small northernmost village called Locha Town in the New South Wales region of Australia.

In the book Wandering with Werewolves, Lockhart claims to have defeated the Wagga Wagga Werewolf in America and rehabilitated him.

In fact, the old wizard was not in America, but a wizard in Australia.

"The person you are talking about should be there."
