Harry Potter: Who cares about belated motherly love?
Chapter 169 Comedy?
A few days later, a female reporter who had co-authored several books with Lockhart and had obtained exclusive news many times due to her ability to become an unregistered beastman, published a novel.
This book, published by a publishing house owned by the Malfoy family, tells the story of her forced insect life as a scarab beetle and her escape. The content is both funny and tear-jerking, making it a "comedy" (? ) that makes people laugh and cry.
It’s hilarious, but also delivers a sense of horror, a masterpiece of in-depth interviews written with Rita’s body and complemented by Lockhart’s literary talent.
To be honest, Lockhart does have a talent for writing. Rita's writing style is definitely not capable of writing like this.
Although it is a pity that Rita was sent to Azkaban, this work has a wonderful writing style in making the tragic story laugh.
The teenage characters based on Ron in the book performed particularly well.
Because he found it interesting, he grabbed the beetle that was resting on his shoulder without hesitation and threw it into a cage specially made by his inventor brother.
Although Scarab tried to transform into human form, it was unable to revert.
The boy was innocently happy that he had "got a cute beetle", but in contrast, his calm brother looked at Rita in the form of a beetle with cold eyes and told her:
"You can't use magic in this cage, so it's useless even if you want to turn into a human. This cage was made by my twin brothers for our brother, and it won't break even if you apply any force, so if you force yourself to turn into a human, I'm afraid you'll just turn into minced meat, right? He seems to enjoy catching you, so let him raise you for the time being."
The contrast between the older brother's calmness and the younger brother's innocence is terrifying in itself. Yes, that's what Percy is like... He is indeed a good brother, but sometimes he can be a little scary to people other than his brothers (including Harry).
Afterwards, the boy took Rita to see a beastshift magician he knew, and after confirming that she was indeed a beastshifter, he announced: "This must mean that she wants me to support her for the rest of her life." So the boy began to raise Rita.
This boy was full of the cruel innocence that only children have. He knew that she was a human, but he didn't care and raised her as a bug. He investigated the registration of beastmen in the Ministry of Magic and confirmed that there were no corresponding registrants. He also went to a lawyer (his uncle Bilius) to confirm whether he would be prosecuted for raising beastmen. This kind of behavior makes people feel that this boy is extremely scary.
His brother, grandmother, friends and relatives did not stop him. They knew she was a human and did not interfere. Even when the relatives found out Rita's true identity, no one tried to take her away from the boy. The boy just casually heard his relatives tell him her identity, but he still did not stop raising her. All the relatives smiled and said to the boy: "You have a good pet!" Even the excellent brothers who came back from Hogwarts just watched it all with a smile. Although everyone knew that Rita was a human, they continued to pamper her in the form of a beetle. This kind of horror day with tears in laughter has become a hit novel. The whole book is a mixture of comedy and horror, which makes people wonder which genre it belongs to. If I didn't know the truth behind this, I might think it was a super interesting work.
After enjoying this fictional comedy, people turned to the last page and saw a photo of Rita transformed into a beetle. Below the photo it said "80% true story", which made readers shudder.
As a result, the book was a big hit, and Lucius excitedly said: "Sure enough, Ron is the best!" It is said that he made a lot of money.
The final trick was Ron's idea. The last page of the whole book is close to the previous page and will only be opened after reading the whole content. Therefore, you can only discover the final secret after buying and reading it, and you will not spoil it by turning the page casually.
Lucius asked Rita to write an experience journal, but as expected, Rita's writing was boring. She had no choice but to hand over all the manuscripts to Lockhart. The two continued to write together in Lockhart's comfortable villa. Lockhart said halfway that he wanted to hear Ron's opinion, so Lucius asked Ron to go, and Ron happily agreed and went to visit. Strangely, Ron also wanted me to go with him. Although I didn't understand why I had to go, I didn't refuse in the end.
Rita had never seen Ron in human form, so she wasn't worried at first. But as soon as they met, Ron immediately said:
"Ah! You must be my beetle! You are really beautiful! The beetle looks cute too!"
After hearing this, Rita fainted instantly. Then Ron and Lockhart had a long conversation, during which Ron kept praising Lockhart's writing skills, saying that his writing style was much more interesting than Rita's boring writing. But Lockhart began to worry:
"But the original works I wrote aren't funny. Even I find them boring. What do you think I should do?"
So Ron began to give Lockhart advice:
"Mr. Lockhart, I think you are good at making other people's stories interesting, but you'd better not rely on your own experiences and emotions to create. You are the kind of person who is good at observing and writing from the perspective of an outsider. For example, after reading Rita's book, you can see how boring she writes. Compared with her book, Rita's gossip is more interesting."
Lockhart nodded thoughtfully and said he would try changing his writing style.
Afterwards, Lockhart interviewed Ron and recorded his account of Rita's life as a scarab beetle from another perspective.
"Yes. Or, wouldn't it be more interesting to read it at first without knowing anything, and then read it again after being surprised by the mechanism at the end? If you find it interesting that way, you can hide the secret at the end and let your family read it too, so that everyone can enjoy it. Wouldn't it be convenient if you could do the same when lending it to a friend? My brothers like pranks and inventions, so I will discuss it with them when I get back. You want me to tell Mr. Lucius, right? Although they said that the part written by Rita was boring, they laughed so hard when they saw Lockhart's part, and they seemed very happy, so they should be able to think of a cheap solution."
"Oh, they mentioned it here too, the brothers who like to play pranks and invent things. Yeah, go ask them for help."
"But please try not to use my name directly. Fortunately, this work is very good at foreshadowing. It only wrote 'boy', and the people around him only called the boy's name by a nickname, so in the end, the official name was not figured out. This writing method is really amazing. Hiding the name makes people feel mysterious. It's really talented."
"...Before, I had little confidence in myself. I was too eager to be recognized by the world as a great magician, and literary talent was just one of the means to achieve this goal. Now I understand that I have been underestimating my most important talent."
"Yes, the wizarding world did have that tendency in the past, only valuing a wizard's talent. Yes, as a wizard, this is very important. But a person's value is not determined by just that, right? Just like Voldemort and Dumbledore, the leaders of each faction have some problems, don't they? But from that incident, we can see that if we judge wizards only by their talents, the wizarding world will fall into chaos.
In addition to magical abilities, other abilities are also talents to be proud of. If the future world allows everyone to show their talents, the magic world will become better, right? If Mr. Lockhart can succeed as a writer, perhaps there will be children who want to be like him? Moreover, learning from a researcher teacher is indeed something that only magicians can do, and being a magician is definitely not a waste. In some cases, the use of magic gives people an immersive feeling, and Mr. Lockhart is far better than Muggle writers in this regard. Muggle works are fantasy after all, but Lockhart's works are different. Because he can use magic, he can achieve unique expression.
Just like the mechanism in the book you mentioned just now, although it seems complicated, it is actually not difficult to achieve. Using magic to make daily life more interesting should be given more attention. Those complicated magics that only a few people can use are important, but I think there should be many simple magics in the magic world that everyone can enjoy. Pursuing these simple magics may help the future development of the magic world. "
"You're right. When I learned to accept myself, it felt a lot easier. Now I really enjoy writing."
"It is also my important responsibility to be able to convey the achievements of teachers to readers in an easy-to-understand way, right? The teachers' articles are always too boring, and ordinary people have no interest in reading them except researchers. But if I write in a more understandable way on behalf of the teachers, perhaps the children who read my works will be determined to become researchers, and some of them may even become great magicians. Moreover, since I publish books for the teachers, the profits they earn can not only support new research, but also attract sponsors to support them. Therefore, the teachers have always been grateful to me and said that my talent has made a huge contribution to the development of the magic world.
When I think about it this way, I feel like I am making a real difference. Even if I can’t become a top magician, I can now confidently say that I am helping top-notch people unleash their power. Therefore, my dream is to continue fulfilling this responsibility while eventually creating my own work and achieving great success.”
"really not bad!"
The two of them were happily discussing various mechanism designs, and they seemed to be enjoying it...
Is it really necessary for me to be here? Do you really need me to accompany you?
I always thought this and said the same thing to Ron. But he always said, "No! I feel more comfortable with Sirius around! Please, come with me!" Then I couldn't say no to him and ended up being dragged along to run around with him every time.
