Just as the wizarding world was finally beginning to accept sending their children to our own facilities rather than to Hogwarts, and the Ministry of Magic was releasing official information about schools for magical and Muggle-born children, Lockhart published a book.

It is actually an autobiography. Although the protagonist's name never appears, it is easy to tell that the book is about him because all the surrounding characters have real names.

This is the story of a foolish man who wanted to be a great magician. Instead of practicing magic, he focused on the technique of stealing other people's achievements, stealing other people's achievements and presenting them as his own. He was sought after, made money, and got everything he wanted.

However, this criminal activity was uncovered within a few years and came to an end.

At first, this foolish man did not reflect on himself, but was persuaded by the researchers whose achievements he stole. They told him that instead of lamenting his inadequacy as a magician, he should make good use of his original talent for writing, which was a unique talent that even researchers like them could not possess. They persuaded him to admit this. However, the man could not accept it.

He knew that his talent as a magician was just average, or even slightly better than mediocre. In fact, he knew it in his heart, but he desired the talent of a magician more, hoping to win the world's attention as a magician. However, it was precisely because he was surrounded by first-class researchers that he had to admit that he lacked the talent he desired, which made his inferiority complex even worse. Therefore, he refused to listen to the advice of the researchers and was unwilling to reflect on himself.

The researchers didn't want the man to continue committing crimes, so they developed a magic that could restrict him and began their research openly in front of him.

Seeing the researchers develop difficult magic that he could not understand at all, the man finally realized that not only was he completely inferior to others in terms of magic strength and technology, but even compared to these people, his enthusiasm and efforts in magic research were far from enough. He was deeply shocked by the vast books and materials that the researchers collected to develop a magic, and the efforts and enthusiasm they put into the development.

The man began to reflect on himself. When had he ever been so focused on magic? He finally understood that stealing others' achievements was also trampling on the unknown efforts of others. He had never worked hard to study and always took shortcuts. He thought he lacked talent, but he just made excuses for never working hard.

After realizing this, he finally felt remorse and began a life of atonement.

At first, he served as a ghostwriter for the victims, adapting their research and travel diaries into books, which were all free atonement, and even if the books sold well, the profits had nothing to do with him. However, he later learned that his life was actually funded by the publishing owner, although he was under house arrest in a luxurious mansion instead of being sent to Azkaban. Even when he expressed his desire to write original works, the researchers generously gave him many Muggle books and books on the magical world.

The kindness of the researchers eventually made him put aside his unnecessary self-esteem. After he finished everyone's books, the researchers invited him to travel with them, and each time he learned magic anew. He regretted not studying hard at Hogwarts, and the researchers encouraged him that it was not too late now. He wondered why these people were so kind to him, and the researchers said in unison:

"You deserve it. Our research benefits the wizarding world, but it's not easy to understand. You have a talent for making it interesting for anyone to read, so we can get more funding to continue our research, and sponsors will be generous with your book. If you didn't write, we might still be poor researchers. Even better, some children may have the idea of ​​doing this kind of research in the future after reading your book, which is really a great thing."

After hearing this, the man finally accepted his unique value from the bottom of his heart. Although he did not have extraordinary magical talent, he began to acknowledge his talent. As a result, he devoted himself to writing and enjoyed it.

Afterwards, he co-authored a book with the researchers and asked the publishing house owner to revoke the medals of honor and awards he had received for his previous achievements in theft, vowing to start over and never infringe on others again. The man's story ended there, and he successfully embarked on the path of a writer.
