Chapter 233: Desire and Greed

London's Bond Street, this world-famous street, is like a luxurious stage built with money and desire. All kinds of luxury stores are lined up one after another. The dazzling array of goods in the windows are shining alluringly, attracting countless people to spend money on them.

The air is filled with the smell of wealth and the rush of hormones. People here spend money lavishly and pursue the ultimate material enjoyment.

Against this bustling and noisy background, a figure who should have disappeared for a long time quietly appeared - Gilderoy Lockhart.

In the past, he always wore colorful clothes like a colorful bird and paraded through the streets, but now he has changed into a man wearing a simple white shirt, a pair of shiny Oxford shoes, a bright red tie around his neck, an exquisite gentleman's hat on his head, and a gentleman's cane in his hand, looking like a gentle and elegant gentleman.

Lockhart walked slowly along the street at a leisurely pace, his eyes wandering freely over the wealthy people who were squandering money in the shops beside him, the gentleman's cane in his hand moving with his steps.

They tapped the ground rhythmically, making crisp sounds, as if keeping the beat for this extravagant scene.

His nose trembled from time to time, and his face showed an expression of being intoxicated and enjoying himself. He murmured to himself: "Great, it's a rare opportunity to regain freedom. I should enjoy the prosperity of this world. Why bother to cause trouble again?"

At this moment, he suddenly stopped, his eyes fixed on a couple not far away. A strange light flashed in his eyes, and he slowly uttered the words:

"Darlin, do you know him?" After a moment, he asked as if he was asking himself, "No, I thought you knew him."

The man and woman were confused by Lockhart's sudden and inexplicable words. They looked at him with confusion. The man was the first to ask, "Sir, what can I do for you?"

However, before the man could finish his words, something magical happened. The man and woman seemed to be under a spell in an instant. Their eyes became empty and lifeless, as if they had forgotten their original purpose.

A happy smile appeared on his face again, and with the shopping bag tightly in his hand, he walked around Lockhart and continued to walk forward as if nothing had happened, as if the brief episode just now had never happened.

At this moment, a strange flame suddenly flashed beside Lockhart without any warning. The flame was like a nimble elf, spinning and rising rapidly, forming a circular circle of fire in the blink of an eye.

In the circle of fire, a young man in a gorgeous purple suit walked out slowly. His burgundy medium-length hair fluttered in the wind, adding a bit of unruly and mysteriousness to him.

He was holding a bacon and cheese sandwich with a bite taken out of it in his hand. He was chewing it while complaining with an unhappy look on his face, "Yu, how can you talk like that? Do you know how much effort and energy I have spent to obtain this bit of your soul? You have to help me anyway."

"You absorb these so-called inferior desires in this world. When will it help your true self break free from the cage and see the light of day again?"

Lockhart didn't seem too surprised by the young man's appearance. He just raised his eyelids slightly and then continued walking forward.

His eyes were once again attracted by the people filing out of the store. He took a deep breath from time to time, and he looked as if he was inhaling some invisible delicacy to his heart's content, and the look of enjoyment on his face became more and more intense.

Greed, who was wearing a purple suit, became anxious when he saw Lockhart ignoring him and walking straight forward.

He hastily stuffed the remaining sandwich in his hand into his mouth, swallowed it in a few gulps, and then quickly followed Lockhart's steps, muttering non-stop:

"Hey, I just wanted to have some fun, but who would have thought that I would be plotted against by that white-bearded old man and that little devil, and failed to get the philosopher's stone. Otherwise, why would I need to go to such great lengths to prepare for the sacrifice?"

"Besides, don't you notice that the little brat exudes an irresistible and attractive aura?"

As he spoke, he rushed to Lockhart, turned around and blocked his way, his eyes full of expectation and temptation: "Don't you want to swallow him up and take him for yourself?"

Lockhart slowly stopped and looked calmly at the greedy man who was trying to instigate him. He raised his hand and gently touched his chin. After thinking for a moment, he said:

"Well, I have to admit that the little ghost is indeed quite attractive, like a tempting delicacy. However, I am not lucky enough to enjoy it yet. Perhaps I can only have that appetite after my real body returns. I will not participate for now."

At this point, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a playful smile: "Also, with your current appearance, I think you should change your name to Gluttony."

After saying this, he seemed to have discovered something new, his eyes lit up, and he walked around the young man in the purple suit and continued walking forward.

The young man in the purple suit, Greedy, had a bewildered look on his face. Before he could recover from Lockhart's words, he found a steaming hot Wellington steak in his hand.

He took a bite subconsciously, then came to his senses, and quickly quickened his pace, chewing while chasing after him, shouting incoherently: "Hey, hey! I finally found you, don't just leave like this. If you can't eat, you can at least help me prepare for the sacrifice."

Inside the Room of Requirement at Hogwarts.

“…This ancient and mysterious spell summons a magical patronus that is a reflection of all your most positive emotions.

The Patronus Charm is difficult to cast, and many witches and wizards are unable to conjure a full, physical Patronus, which usually takes the form of the animal with which they have the greatest affinity.

You may not believe it, but you will never truly know what your Patronus looks like until you actually summon it."

When Hermione finished speaking, she raised her chin and sat down.

"Okay, Hermione is right. This is the famous Ms. Miranda Goshawk's summary of the Patronus Charm. It is a sign that you have some extremely high magical talent and possess profound magical power as long as you cast it." Horn added.

"But don't worry, I will tell you the hand language spell and the secrets of this magic. I will teach you when I say I will."

Seeing Ron and Neville eager to speak, Horn held his hand and said, "Let me show you how to use Patronus now!"

Horn said, waving his wand in a circle, and then a cloud of mist came out from the tip of the wand.

He was not finished yet, and then he transformed into a one-meter-long horned snake in the air, with a silver-white body and looked like a guardian god.

"Horn, your Patronus is a snake. Why wasn't it like this last time in the Potions classroom?"

Ron was very curious when he saw the appearance of Horn's Patronus.
