Chapter 173: Isn’t your brother Ji awesome?

Ted and Hermione knocked on Lockhart's office door.

"Who?" Lockhart, who was busy inside, was startled.

As a result, Ted and the others pushed the door open and walked in. "Professor! We heard that something happened. Malfoy was taken away by the monster in the Chamber of Secrets. We heard that you are in charge of investigating the Chamber of Secrets. We know the clues... Wait, what are you doing?"

Ted's puzzled expression made Hermione behind him a little stunned: How could he act so well? Didn't he ask Lockhart to block the curse? He could actually pretend to know nothing!

Hermione could only hide behind Ted as much as possible to prevent Lockhart from seeing her face. She was really afraid that her expression would reveal something.

At this moment, Lockhart was holding a wig in his hand and was about to put it into the suitcase, but he was suddenly blocked by his favorite disciple. He felt that his toes were going to dig through the castle.

"Oh, this...that...you know, I have a lot of stuff, so I have to clean it up frequently. Cleaning the house frequently is a good habit. Have I ever told you that I cleaned the house and won the favor of the witch? Let me tell you..." Lockhart was talking nonsense as usual.

But he was ruthlessly interrupted by Ted: "Professor! It's so late, there's no time to clean up the house. We have to go to the Chamber of Secrets to rescue Malfoy. We have found the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets!"

"Oh, the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets, yes, the Chamber of Secrets... well, but Professor, I have my own plans, and I can't alert you." Lockhart wanted to avoid the question.

His eyes darted around the room, looking at the grinning photos of himself on the wall, or the gorgeous robes hanging up, and the pile of fan letters that he hadn't had time to reply to... In short, he didn't dare to look at Ted and Hermione.

This is my most beloved disciple who has always admired me, supported me, and protected me!
Now, am I going to lose this student who is quite to my liking?
He would never go into the secret room. Whoever wants to go can go. It's too damn stupid!
Who knew there was such a thing in Hogwarts? It didn’t exist when I was in school!

What is Dumbledore doing? Is he getting old and confused?

"Professor, you are Lockhart, the famous Lockhart. Now that we have found the Chamber of Secrets, we can definitely rescue Malfoy together! Just think about it, by then you will be the savior of Hogwarts and the shining star of the British wizarding world. The Ministry of Magic will have to award you the Order of Merlin, First Class!"

After hearing what Ted said, Lockhart was really moved. He thought of the Minister of Magic awarding him the Order of Merlin with a big smile on his face, many reporters holding up cameras to take pictures of him, and countless witches screaming for him. Wow!

Wait! But that's the monster in the Chamber of Secrets! Even Dumbledore is helpless, so if I go there, wouldn't I just be delivering midnight snacks?
"Okay! Ted, I won't hide it from you. There's no way I'm going to that damn Chamber of Secrets. I shouldn't have returned to this damn Hogwarts! No honor, no praise, no flowers and applause, nothing! Those damn little wizards took me for a fool! Damn it!"

Adults collapse in an instant. Lockhart suddenly broke down emotionally. He threw the wig in his hand to the ground and kicked it hard with his feet, crushing it!

Damn shampoo! Damn hair loss! Damn journalists and damn publishers!

Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!

If someone looked closely, they would find that there was a glimmer in Ted's eyes at this moment.

After venting for more than a minute, Lockhart suddenly woke up, but things had come to this point and he didn't intend to hide it.

"I returned to school as a professor, and originally thought that I could establish some teacher-student relationship with Longbottom and hype up my reputation. But he doesn't appreciate it at all! I wish he was as sensible as you, Ted. What a pity, what a pity that you shouldn't have come!" Lockhart's eyes also became fierce.

Ted also put away his expression and became serious.

"Professor, Professor Lockhart, I ask you again, will you go and rescue Malfoy?"

"Don't bother, Ted." Lockhart's hand reached for his waist inconspicuously.

"Actually, those stories in your book are not your personal experiences, right?" Ted said calmly.

Hearing this, Lockhart froze for a moment, his lips trembled, and his pupils dilated involuntarily: "What nonsense are you talking about! Of course, that was my personal experience. I am a recognized great adventurer!"

"Don't lie, Professor. I am the person who has the most contact with you in school. You don't know many of the spells mentioned in your books. You also don't understand the common sense mentioned in some books. Even the content you brag about in your letters to those female fans is different every time... In addition, I have seen some similar reports in the wizarding newspapers of other countries, but the protagonist is not you!"

Ted's words were like a steel gun that pierced Lockhart's heart. He felt his legs go weak and he could hardly stand. Fine cold sweat began to seep out of his back and forehead.

"I...those...huhuhu, well, they are definitely not my stories. I found those wizards, made friends with them, got their stories out, and then wrote them into books as if they were my own. But it's not my fault!" "It's all the readers' fault! Readers love to read stories with me as the protagonist! Who would like to read about a sloppy old wizard with a cleft lip in his 50s or 60s solving the problem of a female ghost in Bandung, a dark and old witch using amulets to drive away werewolves, and a skinny ascetic feeding snowmen on the snowy mountains!"

Lockhart became more and more excited as he spoke, as if he had found his backbone, and immediately became confident.

"I just made the story better! I just made the readers like it more! What did I do wrong? What did I do wrong!"

At this moment, he was sitting behind the desk with his hands blocked by the tabletop. He quietly touched the wand at his waist and looked at his favorite disciple and Hermione behind him.

This student of mine is a well-known academic master and is also very good at duels. He once won ten games in a row.

However, I believe that as long as I launch a surprise attack and cast a forgetfulness spell on him, he will forget everything that happened today.

As for Hermione behind him, the studious girl was nothing.

Having made up his mind, he drew out his wand in an instant, and suddenly a colorful shadow flashed by. Lockhart felt a sudden sharp pain on the back of his hand, and the wand in his hand fell to the ground involuntarily.

When he looked closely, he saw an enormous rooster standing on his table!
The feathers are shiny and colorful, the comb on the head is bright red, and there is a tuft of white hair parted in the middle, which makes it look very artistic.

A pair of large chicken claws, probably as big as a size 50 Big Foot, with golden skin and sharp and scary claws...

It was too tall, more than two meters tall when standing on the table, and it was looking down at me with a very majestic look.

Brother Ji: You, Brother Ji, are awesome, right?
After successfully transforming Chicken Bro, Ted has been thinking about how to take Chicken Bro with him. After all, if he really encounters a basilisk, he will not have time to go back to find Chicken Bro.

Since the knowledge of breeding and evolving Pokémon is used, Poké Balls naturally come to mind.

But I didn’t get any knowledge about the Poké Ball!
But it doesn’t matter, just try it this way.

It doesn't require any ability to forcibly contain or tame an animal, just carrying one with you will be enough.

Combine the space extension spell with magic like DND's magic pocket, and then use alchemy to make a main body...

Then the first version 1.0 of the Magical Beasts Pokeball was born!

Just now, Ted suddenly took out a walnut-sized magical animal ball and released Chicken Brother.

With lightning speed, Brother Chicken pecked Lockhart's hand.

Ted waved his wand and Lockhart's wand flew into his hand.

"Professor, if you don't want your secret to be made public, you should come with us to rescue people. Besides, the Malfoy family is also a famous pure-blood family, and there is only one child like him. If you rescue him, will old Malfoy still treat you badly?"

"But if you run away from the battlefield, you might get angry with old Malfoy! When the time comes, old Malfoy, who is grieving the loss of his son, will do anything..."

Ted's words were not as sincere as before, and Lockhart was sweating.

He felt as if he had never really gotten to know his favorite student.

He forced a smile and said, "Okay, Ted, you're right. I'm going with you to the secret room to rescue someone. Can you give me back my wand? I can't go empty-handed, right?"

Ted weighed Lockhart's wand, which was made of cherry wood. "Don't worry, Professor. I will definitely return it to you before the battle."
