Hogwarts Gymnastics Professor

Chapter 52 Lockhart's Fear
Lupine was silent for about 5 minutes, and Lockhart and Sirius didn't speak, just looked at him.

Finally, Lupine turned to Lockhart and asked, "Can I see your solution to the night of the full moon first?"

Lockhart said to Lupine, "Relax and look at the chandelier on the ceiling."

Lupine obediently looked at the chandelier on the ceiling. A pair of white chandeliers dazzled his eyes. Slowly, he found that the chandelier on the ceiling suddenly disappeared, and the pattern on the ceiling was still extending normally, as if it was originally here. It's like nothing.

Lupine lowered his head, rubbed his eyes hard, then turned his head to look at the chandelier again, this time he still saw nothing.

Lupine looked at Lockhart in disbelief. Lockhart canceled the illusion he had just released, and then explained:
"You can think of it as a special kind of psychological magic. I use magic to make you hallucinate that the chandelier doesn't exist, so you can't see it. I think this can also be used for the moon on a full moon night."

"I still want to verify it further." Lupine looked very excited, he opened the door of the inner laboratory with a slight trembling, and motioned for Sirius and Lockhart to come in together.

Entering the laboratory, Lockhart noticed that there was a dilapidated wardrobe in the center of the laboratory. Lupine led Lockhart and Sirius closer to the wardrobe, and then said:

"There's a Boggart in there, and I think you all know what that is, and as soon as I let it out, it's going to be what each of us fears the most.

"I've tried it many times, and every time I face it, it turns into a full moon, and unless I deal with it right away, I can't resist my urge to turn into a werewolf.

"Professor Lockhart, I want to test your method with this Boggart." After Lupine finished speaking, he looked at Lockhart.

"Okay." Lockhart replied curtly.

Lupine took out his wand and stood about two steps directly in front of the wardrobe. Lockhart and Sirius also took out their wands and stood on both sides of him.

Lupine swung his wand and opened the door of the closet. A cloud of black mist came out of it, flew into the air and turned into a mass of dark clouds. The dark clouds enveloped the sky, and when the wind blew, a full moon appeared.

Lupine forced himself to look at the full moon, controlling his right hand, trying not to interrupt the boggart with a spell.

Lockhart noticed that Lupine let out a terrible growl, his head lengthening and his body lengthening.His back was arched, his face and hands were covered with hair, his fingers curled into claws.

He is losing control and turning into a werewolf.

Lockhart hastily used illusions on Lupine, constantly using illusions to shield him from the full moon in the sky, hypnotizing him that the full moon did not exist.

Lupine gradually calmed down, his head, hands, feet, and nails changed back, and he regained his senses. Sirius also put away his wand.

"Enough, Lockhart!" Lupine said, waving his wand over an area he couldn't see. "Funny funny."

The full moon in the sky turned into a deflated balloon, whizzing around the laboratory and returning to the cabinet.

Lupine broke out in a cold sweat, and sat weakly on the floor. Sirius on the side supported him so that Lupine would not fall directly.Then he asked: "Lockhart, does this magic work on the moon as well?"

Lockhart replied: "In theory, this magic is not aimed at external objects, but at the consciousness of the wizard, so whether it is a chandelier, a Boggart or the moon, the effect should be the same."

Sitting on the ground, Lupine tightly held Sirius' hand, pinching his knuckles to turn blue. Sirius couldn't help comforting this excited friend. He knew that the friend he had made since childhood was about to leave. The biggest shadow in my life.

Lupine stood up from the floor, and before letting go of Sirius' hand, he asked, "Lockhart, where are those werewolves, I would like to follow you to take care of them."

Lockhart pointed to the wardrobe and replied: "No rush, I want to try this first."

There are two things in the wizarding world that directly reflect a person's heart.

The same is the Mirror of Erised, which can make people see the most urgent and strongest desire in their hearts.The other is Boggart, who can see through people's hearts and become what people fear most.

Lockhart wanted to know what he was most afraid of?
He started to wonder about this question when he first saw Boggart.

He thought about Voldemort, but Lockhart, who was familiar with the original book, knew all kinds of ways to kill Voldemort, and even cheated and played with Voldemort's Horcrux himself.

He thought about the Ministry of Magic and Azkaban, but he knew that his emotions towards these two were disgust rather than fear, and he already had a way to deal with them.

Even Lockhart thought about Dumbledore, but he knew that Dumbledore had long since forgiven his original outrageous behavior, and even began to trust him gradually.

……

……

One guess after another flashed through Lockhart's mind, but he was still inconclusive, so he stood in front of the wardrobe and opened it with a wave of his wand.

What came out of the closet this time was no longer a single object, but a vivid picture.

Lockhart saw that this was the headquarters hall of the Ministry of Magic. A tall throne stood in the middle, and he was sitting on it, looking down with disdain.

On both sides of the hall, Pavlovsky, Sirius, Lupine, Neville and others stood solemnly, as if they were guarding themselves.

Below the steps, Lockhart saw his various enemies, Minister of Magic Fudge, Lucius Malfoy, etc. were locked by binding spells, and Hermione on the side was reading their crimes and sentenced them to be imprisoned in Ards forever Caban.

On the steps below the throne, Umbridge and Rita Skeeter were flattering him, but he just lifted his foot, and the two of them began to lick the soles of their shoes.

Dumbledore stood on his lower head, constantly reporting to himself the achievements of the British magic world's expansion and attack on Muggles.

Seeing all this, Lockhart's first reaction in front of the closet was not fear, but longing. He looked at Lockhart on the throne, as if he wanted to switch places with him, and Lockhart on the throne also looked at him. he.The two looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

Lockhart looked again at Pavlovski, his first follower, who was wearing a bearskin coat and a red cap, and raised his hand to his eyebrows. A military salute was performed.

Lockhart suddenly remembered a polar bear, a giant bear that was said to have just begun to do good deeds and plead for the people. Lockhart remembered that this giant bear died, just last year.

This giant bear did not die from various external persecutions and dangers, but from its own internal corruption and collapse.

Lockhart woke up with a start.In an instant he understood what he was really afraid of.

With the foresight and foresight of reading the original book and the golden finger given to him by the system, Lockhart set himself the goal of changing this decadent magic world.

But Lockhart knew in his heart that there was a way far simpler than this goal - to fall, join forces with this dark and corrupt magic world, eradicate all rebels, and then become the only king of this world, the highest oppressor.

The dragon slaying warrior killed the evil dragon, but in the end he became the evil dragon himself.

What Lockhart was really afraid of was that he did not strengthen his beliefs, fell halfway, expelled the original oppressor, and became a new oppressor himself.

And more vicious and powerful than all the original oppressors!
