"Gilderoy Lockhart..." Looking at the name on the document, Burns fell into memory.
Also a graduate of Ravenclaw College, although Burns had already graduated when Lockhart entered, she still often heard news about Lockhart from other juniors.
She has a good impression of this junior. He is handsome, smart, and can talk very well. As for being flamboyant and pushy? This is the prerogative of genius. Of the books he published, Burns bought it without fail, and got a signed collection. She doesn't do it alone, almost all the witches at the Ministry of Magic do it - collect his autographs, postcards and send letters to him...
Last year, he also became a professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts, and that scandal broke out.
Burns had a hard time believing that Lockhart's adventures were fake. After all, how could a wizard with such a legendary adventure fall under the Oblivion Curse? But the evidence is overwhelming, and she can't make small moves.
Ten years in Azkaban's prison sentence, the punishment given by Fudge.
However, today's document has attracted the attention of Borns. Some have challenged Lockhart's case, arguing that the sentence was excessive.
The magical world's punishment for the abuse of the Forgetfulness Curse is not as severe as it takes ten years to be imprisoned in Azkaban. In addition, there is no sufferer in this case, so some people think that Lockhart's sentence can be reduced.
Burns thought for a long time and finally hit a tick on the application for commutation.
...
"Borns has become the new Minister of Magic." Hermione threw aside the Daily Prophet in her hand after a quick glance at the newspaper, and continued to write the paper assigned by Professor Lupin.
After writing a few sentences, she suddenly remembered something and said to Tom: "By the way, I just saw Minister Burns signed a commutation order for Lockhart, and Lockhart is going to be released from prison."
Tom: ?
What? Lockhart is about to get out of jail? ! He has only been in for a few months, not even half a year!
Tom was furious.
Did Lockhart commit a crime? Of course it was a crime! Did he get the punishment he deserved? Sadly not. He was in Azkaban, and he did not stay for half a year. If you let it go so lightly, how can you be worthy of those wizards who have been deprived of memory and glory?
These victims may be insane for the rest of their lives, because improper use of the Amnesia Charm can cause irreversible brain damage. In the original world line, Lockhart spent the rest of his life in St. Mungo's Magic Hospital after being hit by the Forgetting Curse after the rebound.
Coupled with the uproar of the matter, almost the entire wizarding world knew about it, but no bitter master came out to accuse Lockhart. Tom had reason to believe that these wizards were turned into madmen and fools by Lockhart's oblivion curse. , and even cut ties with the wizarding world.
Such a man, the Ministry of Magic would pardon him, but not Tom Yordle.
Do you want to be free? it is good! But your freedom is limited!
Tom left the Granger's house at once to make further arrangements. There was Hermione's frantic cry from behind, and he just pretended he didn't hear it.
...
The dark, icy waves crashed on the reef, breaking into fine sprays, hitting the black outer wall of the castle. The damp sea waves brought in salty and humid air, making the castle even more humid, and a layer of water mist hung on the prisoners' worn-out clothes.
Although it was noon at this time, most of the prisoners were still curled up in a corner of the cell to sleep - only sleep could relieve their pain a little, but only a little.
For in a place like this, despair is everywhere and pervasive. Even if you fall asleep, you will only have nightmares.
However, even Azkaban has better-located cells. For example, the cell in the southeast corner of the castle has a much better environment than ordinary cells. The cell is high up, so water droplets won't follow the waves into the room along the windows and wet the bedding. At the same time, the room is also covered with a lot of hay to maximize the warmth and dryness inside. The most extravagant is that at noon, this cell has a chance to bask in the sun.
This room was heaven compared to the ones downstairs which were not much better than the sewer. Its location is so good that the Ministry of Magic has rumoured that it is a room for the outlawed Minister of Magic.
Now, there is a blond prisoner in this room. He was curled up in the hay, frowning, shivering from time to time, and grinding his teeth. As his lips twitched, there were always a few gleaming white teeth.
Although the robes on the prisoners were dirty and worn out, a discerning eye could see that the robes were made of good material and cost a lot of money. The prisoner's hair is also a trace of meticulous care in the past.
The prisoners detained here must have had a very good life before going to prison. But his pale face and tattered clothes proved that his later prison life must be very difficult.
Squeak!
The door of the cell was opened, and the prisoner in the straw pile squirmed and opened his eyes with difficulty.
Two witches stood at the door. They looked at the man in the cell with sympathy.
After a moment of silence, the two said with difficulty, "Mr. Lockhart, you are free."
"It's hard to imagine that I still have a day to see the sun." A few hours later, Lockhart followed the two witches back to London. At this time, he had put on a clean robe, cleaned the dirt on his body, and after some re-treatment, the messy hair was restored to the original golden wavy curly hair. Except that his face was still pale, Lockhart seemed to have changed back to who he was a year ago.
It was his two ardent fans who came to pick Lockhart out of prison. Before Lockhart could enjoy "preferential treatment" in prison, it was all due to the arrangements of these fans. After he was released from prison, fans also spontaneously helped him a lot.
"Congratulations." A witch congratulated Lockhart, then looked at him and asked, "Sir, what are your plans after you get out of prison?"
Lockhart smiled wryly, "I'm going to write an autobiography first, telling my story in prison, and at the same time including my life experiences in the first half of my life. I think about the title of the book, so I'll call it "My Life". The first half of my life · Struggle", by the way, I will write this travel note~lightnovelpub.net~ Tell me about my travel experience in these years..."
"We are looking forward to it, can I ask you for a signed collector's edition after it is published?" The witch smiled shyly, she thought the man in front of her was really handsome! As for the negative news about him circulating in the ministry, she calmed down and thought about it for a long time, but she always thought it was fake. Someone must be persecuting Mr. Lockhart!
Lockhart listened to these familiar sentences with a sense of relief: Great, the familiar feeling is back!
He grinned, revealing eight white, shiny teeth: "Of course it's fine!"
