However, Lockhart also knew that he would never be able to play this kind of trick for a lifetime. What he needed was not just fame, but a good reputation that was loved by others. So after graduation, he used his talent to perfect memory magic. Then a dozen great and brave wizards were found, successfully modifying their memories and stealing their adventures.
So in fact, Lockhart's magical talent is quite good, but it is a pity that he has not used it in the right way. Apart from the Forgetting Curse, he himself is only half-assed in other magics.
Dumbledore actually knew this, because he happened to know two wizards whose memories had been tampered with by Lockhart. So some people say that Dumbledore is a conspirator, which is possible, because it was Dumbledore who cleverly hinted at how much fame Lockhart would bring to Harry Potter by being his teacher. Come to Hogwarts to take up the cursed position of Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher.
Not only was he exposed, but it also gave Harry a wave of reputation.
So when Fangze said that others would regard him as a freak, Lockhart immediately gave up his plan to perform magic in public.
The two walked to the third floor honestly, and then in the novel section, Fang Ze led Lockhart to find books related to Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.
"That's it." Fang Ze handed a few books to Lockhart.
"Why are all the illustrations attached to this book, no photos or anything like that?" Lockhart said, frowning as he looked at the books.
"Because they are all books made by ordinary people copying wizards' books. You know, wizards' photos are recorded using magic. We can't copy them, so we can only make them into illustrations."
"Wait a minute, don't you have any wizards here?" Lockhart noticed the flaw in Fang Ze's words.
"There are no wizards, but there are in your world. Many of the books here were shared with us by guests from your world." Fang Ze lied without changing his face.
Although when you make up a lie, you need more lies to round it out, and no matter how round it is, the flaws will be revealed sooner or later.
But within just a week, this lie was still able to deceive people. When Lockhart returned and realized something was wrong, he could not find Fang Ze.
It was a rare visit to the library, and Fang Ze also wanted to buy himself a book and take it back to stand on the table. I picked up a copy of White Nights, then walked past a bookcase to the classic literature section.
"One Hundred Years of Solitude?" Fang Ze glanced at the books on the bookshelf, which brought back memories of reading this book with his deskmate in middle school.
That sentence: 'We are on the eternal journey of life, running through ups and downs, and achieving nirvana in setbacks. Our whole body is filled with sorrow, and pain is everywhere. We are tired, but there is no way to stop; we are bitter, but there is no way to avoid it. 'Let Fang Ze always remember it deeply.
However, because they were students and didn't have much money, Fang Ze and his classmates bought pirated books. Although the quality was very good, they were not genuine after all.
Now that he had some money in his hand, Fang Ze decided to give Mr. Marquez a check, so he reached over and prepared to buy the book.
But Fang Ze's hand was still in the air, and the book One Hundred Years of Solitude he was interested in was taken away by someone else.
Turn around.
"Is it you?" they both said at the same time.
The person who took the book away from Fang Ze earlier was none other than Saturday and Saturday, who had a blind date with him yesterday.
"I didn't expect to meet you here." Saturday and Saturday realized that she had taken away the book that Fang Ze was interested in.
But that’s okay, there’s a whole row of One Hundred Years of Solitude on the bookshelf.
"First come, first served, this book belongs to me." Saturday and Saturday smiled, shook the book, and then stuffed it into his arms.
In addition to this One Hundred Years of Solitude, there were two other books in her arms.
"What are those two books?" Fang Ze asked as he reached for the books on the bookshelf.
"The Life and Death of Great American Cities" and "A History of Urban Development"
"Are you studying urban planning?" Fang Ze asked.
"No, I used to study architecture, but later switched to civil engineering."
"There are really girls who study the monk major." Fang Ze joked.
"So I'm quitting now." Saturday and Saturday shook his ponytail, then walked towards the elevator with his book in his arms, "I'm going to check out first. I'll see you next time."
"How can there be so much fate?" Fang Ze shook his head, then found Lockhart, and the two walked downstairs together.
After paying the bill, he took a bag and put the books in it. Fang Ze looked at the receipt and found that all the books were at their original price.
Therefore, there is no way to say that the current large bookstores are gradually declining. Although small bookstores do not have all the books, they do offer discounts. Although you cannot read the content online in advance, you can find some passages and reviews, make sure you are interested, and then place an order to buy. It is cheaper than the prices in small bookstores.
Fang Ze and Lockhart originally planned to go home after buying books, but as soon as they got into the taxi, Fang Ze's phone rang. It was Chen Jian.
"Brother, do you have time now?" Chen Jian's tone sounded very urgent, and he even called Brother Fang Ze.
"Yes, what's wrong?" Fang Ze asked.
"My sister-in-law, I haven't been able to contact her since the day before yesterday. I'm worried that something happened to her. If you have time now, can you go to her place and look for her. If you buy something on the way, just say that I asked you to bring it to her. , she will definitely open the door."
"No problem." When Fang Ze thought of Chen Qin's depression, he had a bad feeling in his heart, so he asked the driver to turn around immediately and go directly to Chen Qin.
After getting off the bus at the gate of Chen Qin's community, Fang Ze found a small shop on the street that sold jujube paste cakes that looked good, so he bought two kilograms. Then he said that Chen Jian had mailed it to her from Haiping.
There is an access control outside the community where Chen Qin lives. Fang Ze originally wanted to sneak in with the person who had the access card, but was stopped by two guards.
"If you don't have an access card, you won't be allowed in."
"We came to see our friends." Fang Ze said.
"Which friend, please call him." These two guards were very conscientious.
Fang Ze took out his mobile phone and called Chen Qin. He originally thought that if Chen Qin didn't answer the phone, he would try to have Lockhart cast a confusion spell to get rid of the two guards, and then go in.
Who knew that Chen Qin actually answered Fang Ze's call, and after learning that it was Fang Ze who came to find her, she asked Fang Ze to give the phone to the two doormen and let Fang Ze in.
"Why does it feel like Chen Qin is fine?" Fang Ze led Lockhart towards the residential building where Chen Qin was.
"I didn't expect you to be in the Imperial Capital now." Chen Qin opened the door calmly and let Fang Ze walk in.
