Still failed
Albert put away his wand depressedly, sat down in the armchair, and flipped through the notebook that Lockhart gave him.
In recent days, Albert has looked through it several times and tried to cast the human-form restoration spell countless times, but he has not been able to successfully use this spell, let alone make the human-form restoration spell appear on the skill panel.
Albert can learn any magic that appears on the skill panel, no matter how difficult it is, but the spell to restore human form does not appear on the skill panel, and Albert is helpless.
With his current magical power, even learning a difficult spell like the Patronus Charm wouldn't take much time, but he simply couldn't learn the Recuperation Charm. So it was necessary for him to doubt whether the notes Lockhart gave him were fake.
Albert was very confident that Lockhart would not deceive him. Even if he was a liar, he was just a liar who did not know the art of brain occlusion and could not lie to him. Moreover, Albert used language to induce Lockhart to hand over the things obediently, and Albert would keep the secret for him and would not trouble Lockhart with questions again.
Well, keep it secret for now.
So, something must have gone wrong.
Is there something wrong with the notebook Lockhart got
Albert did not continue to dwell on these issues. He planned to ask other wizards about this matter, such as Nicolas Flamel. Perhaps the old man could see the problem.
There is indeed a big gap between Albert and these old wizards.
As he was about to pass through the hole in front of the Fat Lady's portrait, he met Hermione.
"Um... Did Professor Lockhart go privately..." Hermione secretly glanced at Albert's profile and asked cautiously, "I wonder if I can go with you."
"What are you talking about?" Albert turned his head to look at the girl beside him, not understanding what she meant.
"I often see you coming out of Professor Lockhart's office." Hermione blushed and said, "I also want to..."
"Do you want to go in or not?" The fat lady glared at the two people in front of her impatiently.
"Sorry." Albert motioned Hermione to go inside and talk. He had already heard the meaning behind her words and was speechless. Is this what it means to be a star chaser
The two of them entered the Gryffindor common room together and sat down in a secluded corner where no one was.
"Do you admire Professor Lockhart very much?" Albert looked at Hermione curiously and asked casually.
"Um..." Hermione's cheeks flushed, "Don't you think he's brave?"
"I don't know if he's brave or not, but I think Lockhart is really handsome and charming." Albert showed Hermione an expression that said, "I understand you, I can understand you." "It's okay, you don't have to be shy about it, just like boys like beautiful and confident girls."
"Is there something wrong, Ginny?" Albert turned his head and asked Ginny who had been eavesdropping on their conversation.
"Nothing?" Ginny shook her head.
"If you have something to say, just say it."
"Do boys like beautiful and confident girls?"
"Yes, such girls are usually very attractive." Albert said softly, "Harry Potter is no exception."
Ginny's face suddenly turned as red as a ripe apple.
"Perhaps, you shouldn't focus most of your attention on Potter. It's a good choice to give up on him temporarily. Be more confident and show your charm. Potter will notice you one day." Albert looked at Ginny who seemed to understand and said, "Most people don't know how to cherish things that are too easy to get."
"Thank you," Ginny muttered, and stood up to leave.
"What's wrong?" Albert noticed Hermione looking at him and asked casually.
"Nothing, just a little curious." Hermione shook her head and said.
"Fred and George's sister seems to admire Harry Potter very much, but she is too shy and lacks confidence, so she is always ignored by Harry." Albert explained, "By the way, I'm afraid you will be disappointed with what happened just now. Lockhart didn't give me any special help. I mean, he didn't teach me some extra knowledge."
"Oh." Hermione was disappointed. She actually wanted Lockhart to give her extra lessons so that she would have the opportunity to have more contact with the person she admired.
"Of course, if you don't understand something, you can ask Lockhart himself. Those stories are still valuable. You can study the content carefully and you will definitely gain a lot." Albert reminded: "For example, what problems should be paid attention to when facing dark creatures such as werewolves and vampires, the spells used to deal with dark creatures in the book, and various small tricks. You should be kind and look for useful knowledge in the book. If you don't understand, ask Professor Lockhart. I believe he will be willing to help you solve your doubts."
"Thank you, Albert." Hermione walked away excitedly.
"You're welcome." Albert said softly as he watched Hermione leave. He suddenly looked forward to how Lockhart would respond to Hermione's barrage of questions.
He certainly wouldn't bother Lockhart with questions, but others could. Moreover, they were Lockhart's admirers. Would he have the nerve to turn them away
"I just heard everything."
A voice interrupted Albert's thoughts.
Shanna sat down in the armchair Hermione had just sat in, looked at Albert and said, "Is it really okay for you to do this?"
"Hermione admires Lockhart very much. I just gave her a suggestion to give her more opportunities to interact with people she admires." Albert said calmly.
"You know that's not what I meant." Shanna looked at Albert and suddenly laughed, "Don't you know what kind of person Lockhart is?"
"Don't you like him?" Albert asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Not everyone will like others just because they are handsome!" Sana said faintly.
"I thought..."
"I already have someone I like." Shanna said softly, "Unfortunately, that person has a girlfriend."
At this moment, Albert's face suddenly looked a little embarrassed. He understood what Shanna meant, and in the end all he could say was "sorry".
"This is not your fault." Shanna hesitated to speak, and finally just sighed deeply, stood up and walked away.
In Sana's opinion, Albert's behavior was sinister.
With Lockhart's teaching level, if Hermione asked him the questions that Albert just asked, she would probably be exposed soon.
Over time, Miss Granger will begin to doubt Lockhart, and finally find out that he is just an ordinary novelist, the contents of his books are all fictional stories, and Lockhart himself is not as great as described in the novels.
yes!
Books can also be deceiving.
