Ashes of Hogwarts

In a simple shop on the streets of London, Ash was listening to Lockhart's tirade with an embarrassed look on his face.

In fact, he really didn't expect that when Lockhart invited him to dinner, he would go to a small shop in the Muggle world.

There are not many wizards around here, but it can also be said that there are almost none.

"Principal Dumbledore has sent the teaching materials I need to the little wizards a few days ago, so I will go to Flourish and Blotts Bookstore in Diagon Alley for my book signing later. You should know that I am too It’s popular.”

So said Lockhart, playing with his silky hair and flashing his great white teeth.

But this doesn’t explain at all why you would come to such a place to eat!

The environment of the Leaky Cauldron is a little bad, but at least the people eating and drinking around are wizards. They might come over to join in the fun after hearing your bragging.

What now?

Ash tilted his head to avoid the weird looks from the people around him, while nodding his head in greeting.

Lockhart is not useless, at least he is really thick-skinned.

Seeing that the store was already preparing to report these two people who talked about "ghosts and werewolves" as mentally ill, Ash had no choice but to interrupt Lockhart's endless self-bragging.

"Professor Lockhart, I already know all about your colorful "experiences", but I still don't quite understand why you want to invite me to dinner." Ash said very modestly: "I'm just a Hogwarts person." Just an ordinary professor."

"how is this possible."

Lockhart immediately expressed his objection. He approached Ash mysteriously, with a look of understanding.

"It has been spread throughout the wizarding world that Professor Ash Losric can send people to another world that is completely different from the wizarding world. It is said that it is full of despair and helplessness and is the real world of the dead."

Is it that exaggerated?What have these little wizards turned the soul world into?

Except for those messy living corpses, the soul world is still very harmonious.

"They were right."

Ash pretended to be profound and said: "Since that world was contaminated by the blood of the ancient gods, people began to be affected by the indescribable power of existence, and a plague called "lycanthropy" began to spread. People's inevitable transformation Become a raging beast that has lost its mind."

The mystery of the king's soul involves Ashes' ability to exist, so Ash told Lockhart another world view.

Anyway, with Lockhart's ability, neither the Soul World nor the Bloodborne World can be touched by him.

Lockhart was obviously surprised. He could understand these words individually, but the combination was a bit difficult to understand.

But what he was sure of was that Ash could indeed travel to another world.

This meant that he had found half of the answer he wanted.

Ignoring the parts he didn't understand, Lockhart puffed out his chest and assumed a brave and fearless posture.

"Professor Lothric, I believe you know that I, Gilderoy Lockhart, am an adventurer. I am committed to destroying evil forces and helping suffering people escape from their poor lives. It can be said that my heart does not allow me to know There is a group of people who are suffering and turning a blind eye.”

He stood up excitedly, banging the tables and chairs with a loud clang.

Ash looked at the suddenly majestic Lockhart with a blank expression.The latter took out the wand and stood it on his chest. Under the sunlight, his emerald green cloak and golden hair were fluttering in the wind.

Then, Ash reached out and pushed Lockhart back into the chair.

"Sorry everyone, my friend drank too much. He will pay for all your purchases today."

Lockhart was about to give an impassioned speech when his pupils suddenly contracted and then withered.

"Professor Lockhart, maybe you don't know much about that world. If you only judge based on the news from young wizards that you can go there to improve your reputation, you will definitely be disappointed."

This is the truth, too much to say. Ash must know Lockhart thoroughly. Although his oblivion spell is very strong, it is of no use to living corpses that have lost their humanity.

He probably wouldn't be able to get past the unmarked cemetery there.

"But Professor Losric, I really want to go there. Helping others has always been my ideal, and I have always done so."

As if because of being rejected, Lockhart looked a little depressed, like a child who wanted to go out and do good deeds but was scolded.

"I still can't promise you. In fact, even Dumbledore has to think carefully about going there alone."

"Ah, aren't you with me?"

Lockhart raised his head in surprise, his eyes full of disbelief.

Good guy, so you still want to covet my memory.

Regarding this matter, Ash expressed his obvious refusal. He had no interest in being a nanny for a group of adults.

"No matter what, I still hope to go to that world and have a look. Even if I am alone, I will use my only ability to help those poor residents."

Lockhart looked serious, and even his eyes shone with sincerity.

"With all due respect, you have reached such a level that you can't even see the residents, let alone help them. Others don't know, but I know your details clearly."

Ash frowned, a little unhappy at Lockhart's inconvenience.

And he has been feeling a little weird since just now. This Lockhart seems to be very different from the one he saw in the principal's office, but judging from the fluctuations in his soul, it is indeed the same person.

It's so weird.

And how could such a liar want to go to such a dangerous world after he made it clear that he would not accompany him?

Can't figure it out.

"Professor Lockhart, I will leave as I have something else to do. Please handle the guests you have disturbed by yourself."

When he couldn't figure it out anymore, Ash got up and left.

Anyway, with his personal strength here, Lockhart can't make a big splash no matter what.

Watching the figure gradually disappearing outside the store, Lockhart's pupils shrank again.

"Everyone, please don't be too enthusiastic. Although I know that I am indeed very popular, fans and idols should still keep a distance. Ugh... don't slap me in the face."

Leaving with full of doubts, Ash walked through the space-time wall to Granger's house, and the fireproof girl was also there.

At the dinner table, Hermione, who had received the notice, inevitably talked about Lockhart. She admired this wizard who had the same wonderful experience as her godfather.

"I have to tell you some bad news, dear Hermione." Ash cut the steak slowly, "That guy is just a liar."

"What, are all his experiences made up?" Hermione would not doubt Ash. Since the godfather said it was false, it must be false.

"But why didn't anyone expose him?"

"Because although he himself is just a liar trying to gain fame, the experiences recorded in the book really happened. It's just that the name of the protagonist has been changed."

Putting the steak into his mouth, Ash chewed it slowly.

"So all we have to do is expose him at the right time."
