Lockhart found that he was often kicked out, so he laughed at himself helplessly and walked towards his office.

"Darling, what are you doing here?" Lockhart found Pandora standing at the door of his office with an aggrieved expression on his face.

"Professor..." Pandora didn't take the initiative to hug Lockhart, but looked at him as if estranged.

"What's the matter?" Lockhart took the initiative to put his arms around her shoulders and walked into the office, "What happened."

Pandora asked hesitantly, "That rumor...is it true?"

"What rumors?" Lockhart asked strangely. There are many rumors about him. Which one?

"The students in the school said that you like Hermione Granger!" Pandora said loudly, "Is it true!"

"What?" Lockhart was taken aback. Her first reaction was that Hermione deliberately spread this, trying to break up Pandora's relationship with herself. It may also have been caused by some student who accidentally saw this rumor.

"Of course it's fake, what do you think!" said Lockhart, pretending to be angry, "but she is indeed an excellent student, and no professor will dislike her."

"I'm not talking about liking like this!" Pandora was angry, "Did you ever have anything to do with her?"

"I don't have time for anything to happen to her. I have been with you all the time during the summer vacation. I stayed at home for a few days after the trip, and even more so when I arrived at school!" Lockhart pretended to be wronged, "Darling, can you Don’t trust me a little bit, at least think about it when you hear the rumors.”

Lockhart's acting skills have never declined. After pretending to be innocent, the little girl immediately lost confidence.

"Professor, I'm sorry, but you're too good, too many girls like you, I'm afraid of losing you..." Hearing Lockhart's tone so strong, Pandora immediately put her arms around Lockhart's neck and said softly, "But you will definitely Resist the temptation isn't it?"

"Of course, you have to trust me!" Lockhart breathed a sigh of relief. Pandora gave in so quickly. It seemed that she just heard the rumors and didn't find anything. "Are you going to stay with me tonight?"

"Ok."

In his spare time, Lockhart is also concerned about the news from the outside world, and the situation is not optimistic. But the Ministry of Magic is still running, and it's the Muggles who suffer the most, they don't even know what's going on, and the world's a mess.

However, as a professor, Lockhart can't help much either. He can only study the new defensive magic "King Kong Cover" that he learned from China when he is free. There is nothing magical about this magic. The only difference from the iron armor is that its defense range is far away from the body, but this is very effective when facing some spells.

The Death Curse cannot be resisted by the Iron Armor Curse, not because the Iron Armor Curse is ineffective against it, but because of the unique working principle of the Death Curse and its instant killing ability. The principle of defense magic is to weaken the strength of the spell, but no matter how weakened, the death spell may cause instant kill, because the human soul is too weak, even a great wizard like Dumbledore cannot say that his soul is strong enough Can resist death curse.

If the Iron Armor Curse is used to resist the Death Curse, the moment the Death Curse hits the Iron Armor Curse and explodes, as long as a trace of aftermath hits the human body, it will cause death. That time Lockhart was hit by Ginny's weak death curse, and his soul was shaken. He was in a coma for several months, and the horror of the death curse was evident.

The Vajra Cover is different. It expands the defense range. If it can be practiced very skillfully, it can theoretically block the Death Curse without being affected by the aftermath. The spell is not complicated, and Lockhart will cast it soon. Although it is not comparable to the power of the memory inheritor, it is still usable. He wondered why European wizards hadn't developed such a spell, and of course it probably didn't spread.

After putting away his wand, Lockhart decided to visit Hagrid and ask about the unicorn's blood.

As soon as he got to Hagrid's hut, the dog named Fang jumped out and twirled his tail around Lockhart's legs, and even wanted to stand up and lick his face, as if he was happy to see Lockhart again after a summer vacation.

Lockhart pretended to be angry and kicked it: "Go away, you stupid dog.",

"Guidero, why are you free to come here?"

"Come for a walk if you don't have class," Lockhart walked into the room and sat down, "You seem to have something on your mind, Hagrid."

"Would you like some rock pie?" Hagrid pushed over a plate, but Lockhart firmly refused. "Well, Dumbledore finally arranged a good place for Goobo, I thought it would be easy for a while." Hagrid also sat down and threw a piece of dry meat to Fang, who kept shaking his head and tail, "but the annoying thing Always keep going!"

"What's the matter?" Lockhart asked with concern, "Is something dead?"

"No, but it's almost the same!" Hagrid said sadly, "Aragog, you probably don't know him, but I'll show you when I have time. The first eight-legged spider I raised..."

"Ah..." Lockhart remembered, "it... how is he?"

"He..." Hagrid began to sob, tears streaming down his small black eyes, and he wiped his face with his apron. "Aragog... I think he's dying. He's been sick for a summer and hasn't been healed. ...I don't know, what if he...if he...what would I do...we've been together for so long..."

"Hagrid, don't do this, everyone will die." Lockhart walked over to comfort Hagrid, "We have to be thankful for him, at least he passed his life safely."

"You're right, he's lucky..." Hagrid wiped away his tears, "Maybe we won't end up better than him, right... Damn Mysterious Man..."

"..." Lockhart also became sad, "Hagrid, things will get better, Dumbledore and the Ministry of Magic will deal with him."

"Gidro, is the class on protection of magical creatures really annoying?" Hagrid suddenly remembered something, "Harry and Ron didn't even take it, they both said there were too many courses, hum, I am in sixth grade. Don't you understand what's going on, there are very few classes..."
