[HP] Being a problem student at Hogwarts

"Sophistry," said Tom calmly.

"The theory of superhero guilt? You dare not condemn the perpetrators, but instead point your sword and gun at the people who help you - is this what you think?"

"It wouldn't be surprising if you really think so. After all, it's hopeless to resist fate, but there are ready-made, helpless and ignorant targets in front of you."

"With this level of awareness... ha, you might as well quickly surrender to the fate you respect and stop being coquettish."

Tom returned Lockhart's taunting words.

Lockhart's hand on the back of his head moved, forcing Tom's head to hit the glass window.

"Little rascal," Lockhart said with a smile.

"Are you angry?" Tom endured the pain and asked him.

"I thought people like you had no heart," Tom said coldly.

"You're trying to make me angry. How childish," said Lockhart indulgently.

"What a feeble revenge!"

"Anger without power has no effect at all and makes people laugh in vain - this is something I have understood very early. I will teach you this truth today." Lockhart let go of his hand, turned around and sat back own chair.

"Magic is power - I tolerate your rudeness today, and you must be grateful for my kindness. Likewise, I will not apologize to a muddled salvation puppet - I ask for fate, I pay to fate, and give him a life What happened to the Puppet of Destiny?”

"I'm sure of one thing," said Tom.

"what?"

"You are not suitable to stay here." Tom was too lazy to argue with him. This paranoid was right. The ideological gap between people was so big that it was difficult to communicate.

"You shouldn't be a teacher at all."

"Are you going to cry and go to your dear headmaster?" Lockhart mocked, "The mysterious man did not lie to you. The more you show that you are extraordinary, the more pleased Dumbledore will be and the more wary he will be - "7K妏揩

"He's the one who has no heart."

"There was a hollow in his chest, and he could hear the pitiful howling of the cold wind, all year round."

Counting the few words he heard at the door of the principal's office last time, this was the second time Tom heard similar comments. But obviously this is not the time to delve into this issue.

"No one is perfect in this world," said Tom. "At least in terms of behavior, Principal Dumbledore is much more reliable than you all."

"If you please." Lockhart held out his hands to him. "But, for what reason do you plan to let him punish me?"

"I'm just an innocent spectator." He said with a smile, "I have average ability, limited level, good intentions to help, but the spell failed - what does it matter? It's just a small mistake."

"There must be no one who commanded the Bludger to chase down the boy who survived, and didn't hesitate to blow up the stands, but the guy who injured many students has a serious problem."

"At least the security measures should be further refined to prohibit unprofessional treatment by certain people who are prone to failure of spells," Tom said.

"To put it bluntly, it's best for you to stay away from the students."

"Your idiot character is already deeply rooted in people's hearts, and there is no need to further strengthen it. In case - something is really exposed."

"Ah." Lockhart looked at him thoughtfully. Lockhart in the photo frames hanging densely in the office also looked at Tom expressionlessly.

"I seem to have underestimated your acumen, don't you?" the real Lockhart said in a tone of surprise.

Tom deliberately avoided his forget-me-not-colored eyes, and even stood to the side to avoid the gaze of some of the photos on the wall.

"Tell me about it, tell me, kid." Lockhart sat up straight with interest. "Speak for yourself and save us all some trouble."

"You told me yourself. You described your shell - cognitive bias, specious - which means that there cannot be no connection between the shell and the real body, there must be similarities."

"What kind of character is Gilderoy Lockhart? A powerful wizard who travels around with superb skills? This is the perception of Lockhart by people who have only read novels. Those who have come into contact with Gilderoy Lockhart As for a special person, it's like peeling off the skin of an onion and seeing a bombastic novelist. Going deeper? Gilderoy Lockhart is a beautiful blond idiot."

"Those curious people will leave with satisfaction after discovering that the so-called true face of the great wizard and great traveler Gilderoy Lockhart is just a beautiful straw bag. Some of them smart people will dig out this story again. The secret of the beautiful straw bag is that he uses memory magic to steal other people’s experiences.”

"At this point, Gilderoy Lockhart seems to have been turned upside down. No one is going to delve further into the real Lockhart - this is how your 'shell' is turned upside down."

"The powerful traveling wizard Lockhart - the bombastic novelist Lockhart - the incompetent Lockhart - Lockhart who is good at memory magic... They stopped at the final truth, the gifted wizard Lockhart."

"You are not just weaving a 'shell' at all, you are a kaleidoscope, a cube that is constantly rotating - showing different 'sides' according to different needs."

“Each side is connected to your true core, and each side reveals a different secret about you.”

"You are indeed a very powerful wizard in a sense. You are indeed good at weaving 'stories.' That 'blonde idiot' persona is not a lie either - you are extremely talented but have low magic power."

"This can also explain my doubts all the time - why is a powerful wizard who can see through fate, is good at playing with memory, and has almost no moral bottom line, so hard to go around in circles to change his own destiny? Whose destiny do you like? You can choose who you want to be - the only thing that can stop people like you from not doing it is probably that you can't do it."

"You have long said that you do not have enough strength to break out of the house; I broke away from your memory control with just a burst of magic power; every time you want to play some tricks on other people's memories, you have to speak first to pave the way and give hints; You said you learned early on that anger without power is useless—"

"Of course, the most important thing is that you were too close to me just now, maybe because you were injured, or maybe you felt there was no need to hide it in front of a junior student, so that a wizard like me who is sensitive to the flow of magic power Able to sense the emptiness and death inside you——"

"You are not merciful at all, you just can't easily use your gifted magic on a wizard who resists you, even if this place is filled with your photos to enhance the power of your spells, even if this is your home court, even if I am just a The young wizard——"

"You can't either."

"This is what you said that day, 'fate's sense of humor'."

Lockhart burst into laughter.

"Surprised and delighted!" Lockhart said, clapping his hands. "Yes, fate is as cruel as it is generous to me -"

"But that's no reason to inflict cruelty on others," Tom said.

"Harry also has an unfortunate fate - although he doesn't say much about it, I have eyes - but he doesn't vent his misfortune on others because of it."

"You are not from the same place - we are not from the same place."
