Hogwarts Gymnastics Professor

Chapter 140 Sudden Change in Painting Style "On the Fall of Azkaban"

Failed again!

Although Lockhart had been concentrating on thinking of the name Controlled Fusion Power Station in his mind, there was still nothing in the Room of Requirement.

Just a big enough room appeared, empty of nothing.

There is nothing worth exploring for Lockhart. Snape's Half-Blood Prince textbook was copied when Lockhart knew that Lupine wanted to make potions on a large scale. It contained Voldemort's Horcrux Ravenc Law's crown has also been destroyed by Lockhart with Dumbledore last time.

"Ugh!"

Lockhart couldn't help sighing. Could it be that you must have a specific structure in your mind to use the Room of Requirement to create what you want?

It's unlikely, if that's the case, at the future 1994 Hogwarts Triwizard Tournament Yule Ball in the books.

Karkaroff, who was the principal of the Durmstrang School of Magic at the time, took a wrong turn when looking for the toilet after being unable to hold back, entered this room, and saw all kinds of exquisite and gorgeous potties.

Focus on all kinds of exquisite potties.

If users who need the Room of Requirement have to figure out the specific structure of what they want in their minds, then unless Karkaroff's mind is full of shit, how can he come up with so many kinds of exquisite and gorgeous things? Where is the kettle?

Lockhart thought about the usage of the Room of Requirement in various rumors, but finally gave up.

The principle of this Room of Response should be similar to Transfiguration, that is, Legilimency plus Transfiguration, and then using the magic power of Hogwarts Castle itself to cast spells.

Considering Lockhart's current understanding of magic and the depth of his magic power, the effect of using Transfiguration by himself is not known to be much higher than that of the Room of Requirement. Relying on the Room of Requirement is not as good as relying on Lockhart himself.

Of course, relying on yourself is not as good as relying on Dumbledore.

Lockhart thinks that his magic power and understanding of the essence of magic may be higher than Dumbledore's, but his understanding of some secrets and knowledge of the magic world is definitely not as good as Dumbledore's.

An old family is like a treasure. Dumbledore is 110 years old this year, so he can be regarded as an old treasure.

"Dongpo Elbow in Honey Sauce"

Dumbledore's taste is getting stronger and stronger, but he still likes sweets, and even things like Dongpo elbow, which are already sweet, have to be poured with honey sauce.

Secretly complaining, Lockhart used the password he asked from Felicity to open the guard stone beast in front of Dumbledore's office, thought about his words, and then knocked on the door.

"Da da da!"

"Please come in."

The door of the headmaster's office opened, and Lockhart walked over. He couldn't help smiling when he saw the books and magazines piled up on the entire table. These books were all given to Dumbledore by Lockhart. It seems that Dumbledore I like it very much.

On the table are "History of Western Philosophy: From Socrates to Sartre and Beyond", "History of Economic Thought", "Introduction to Political Economy", and "The Development of Capitalism".

There is a complete set of "The Origin of the Family, Private Ownership, and the State" series of books stacked up beside him, and a copy of "Steel, Guns, and Germs" is placed next to his hand.

In addition, there are "New Wizard" magazines scattered everywhere, and the "New Wizard" that Dumbledore is opening. This is the latest issue. Lockhart also tentatively published a new article on it. The article was called "On the Fall of Azkaban."

Dumbledore seemed to be fascinated by it. After seeing Lockhart coming in, he looked at it several times reluctantly, then slowly took off his glasses, and said to Lockhart:
"Good morning, Lockhart, I've read your article "On the Fall of Azkaban" three times, but there is still one thing I don't quite understand."

Lockhart knew that there was no rush to study controllable nuclear fusion. After all, he had to control the magic world first and then consider the issue of integration, so he could give Dumbledore a chance to go to the Red Ghost Society of Azkaban. Lockhart Hart would never miss the moment, let go of the question in his mind, and chatted with Dumbledore.

"Although this "On the Fall of Azkaban" has some metaphors and symbols, I don't think it is difficult to understand, especially, Albus, you have read so many similar books recently."

Lockhart was a little strange. The last time he met Dumbledore, he could say "Things are always spiraling upwards. It is inevitable that new things will replace old things. Even if there is a turning point, it will be futile." Such words, how come this time? How about such a simple metaphor?
"Lockhart, I understand the symbolic meaning of this article. It uses the fall of Azkaban to refer to the fall of the old world and the old order. I want to ask you a question about the surface of this article."

"what is the problem?"

"The title of your article here, on the fall of Azkaban, what exactly does it mean? Is it just a symbol, or did you already do it?"

Dumbledore stared at Lockhart with his big blue and gray eyes, as if trying to read the answer from Lockhart's expression.

However, Lockhart had no intention of hiding it at all.

"Here, of course, is both a metaphor and a reality. In fact, before I was released in Azkaban by the Ministry of Magic, I had completely controlled Azkaban."

"Complete control? Released all the prisoners, or noticed them elsewhere?" Dumbledore asked seriously.

Lockhart didn't take it, but asked instead: "Dumbledore, I want to ask you a question, why are there so many prisoners in Azkaban, I checked them one by one, and most of them are innocent! As you Chief wizard of the Wizengamot, have you not found anything?"

This question has troubled Lockhart for a long time. He has never understood why Dumbledore, as the chief wizard of the Wizengamot, would allow so many innocents to be born in Azkaban.

"This is a complicated problem, and I can only say that this is the best solution in my opinion." Dumbledore shook his head, then said.

"What do you think is the best solution? The best solution you think is to imprison a group of innocent people in Azkaban?" Lockhart suddenly became angry, did he misunderstand Dumbledore?
Is this Hogwarts white-bearded old man the same as another white-bearded old man from the Nation of Fire, a man of great integrity on the surface, but actually full of calculations?

No, it's not possible.

Dumbledore is not such a person, but he sacrificed himself to get rid of Voldemort.

Seeing Lockhart's questioning eyes, Dumbledore finally compromised. He picked up his wand, waved it casually, and then a book flew over, opened it to a certain page, and flew in front of Lockhart .
