Professor Rupert Hogwarts

Chapter 373 Secret Advancement
In the blink of an eye, two days passed.

Three days have passed since Sirius Black escaped from prison.

If nothing else goes wrong, the black dog transformed by Black should have already set foot on the land of England and is quietly approaching Harry.

As for Lockhart's cell in Azkaban, it was as peaceful as ever except for the dementors who came to visit it every two days.

The ocean within a radius of fifty miles often sets off huge waves driven by the sea breeze.But other than that, nothing unusual happened.

In the cell, Lockhart remained as usual, as if his spine had been broken and he had completely lost his spirit.

Eisen observed for several days and found that Lockhart showed no signs of escaping from prison.

It was as if he had lost his dream and seemed to have given up on himself.

The changes in the situation here made Eisen wonder how he escaped from prison.

"Young man, why didn't anyone come to help this guy escape from prison?" Eisen couldn't help but muttered as he looked at Lockhart, who had just been visited by the dementors and enjoyed a delicious meal, and was already curled up in the corner and being beaten repeatedly. stand up.

Outside the wall, the free sea breeze is constantly stirring, but inside the wall, there is repressed despair.

In the corner of the cell, Lockhart looked like a dried fish, leaning against the wall listlessly, his eyes blurred and colorless.

"Well——, it seems that the news reported in the newspaper was false. The Ministry of Magic said that Dumbledore helped Lockhart escape from prison. It must have been fabricated. If this is the case, I—" Eisen spoke halfway He was stunned for a moment, as if he wanted to put something aside and fell into deep thought.

Yes, Dumbledore had no reason to help Lockhart escape from prison, but Eisen himself had a valid reason.

After all, he still had to wait for Lockhart to secretly register for the Triwizard Tournament and throw the note with his name on it into the Goblet of Fire.

"In other words, I actually did all this myself?" Eisen glanced at Lockhart in the corner, a hint of understanding flashing in his eyes.

However, pretending to be Dumbledore and rescuing Lockhart while being seen by Muggles was really a bit unethical.

Shaking his head, Eisen cleared his mind of distracting thoughts. He looked at Lockhart who seemed to be in a daze. As his mind turned, he cast a confusion spell on the hair hidden on his head and directly controlled him. sanity.

stand up!
Under Eisen's command, Lockhart obediently climbed up from the ground and stood up like a puppet on strings.

Take a break and stand at attention!
Have a dance!Stop——

As soon as the eye-popping scene appeared, Aisen stopped it.

Eisen turned his head in disgust and carefully checked the situation of the cell.

The heavy and rusty door was tightly closed. Although Eisen could also use Lockhart's hair to cast a spell to open the door from a distance, doing so was still a bit too arrogant.

After all, if you want to walk out of the door, you will encounter dementors coming and going in the passage.

Obviously, if Aisen really does this, it will definitely cause some waves and cause some interference to his plan.

Therefore, the most appropriate approach would be to get Lockhart out quietly.

Thinking like this, Aisen turned his gaze and placed it on the window of the cell.

The window was about two meters above the ground, and it was tightly blocked by iron bars reinforced by magic.If you don't rely on magical means, I'm afraid no one can escape from here.

Of course, you might be able to get out by using your Animagus transformation like Sirius Black did.

For example, if Lockhart could use his Animagus to transform into a smaller animal, it wouldn't be impossible to escape through the bars and escape.

After all, Animagus transformation doesn't require a wand to work.

In a flash, Aisen's figure had appeared outside the cell.Then, in a flash of thought, a spell was cast to turn Lockhart into a sparrow, which flew out from the gap between the bars of the window.

Yes, this level of transformation is a very simple thing for Eisen.

After all, even Barty Crouch Jr.'s Moody disguise could turn Malfoy into a ferret.At this moment, Eisen, who was extremely powerful, could easily turn Lockhart into a sparrow.

Behind him is the solid wall of Azkaban Prison, and in front of him are the rolling waves.

The smell of the sea breeze blowing in front of him, and the long-lost freedom, made Lockhart flutter his wings a few more times, even though his mind had been controlled and turned into a sparrow.

As for how Lockhart would return to land, of course it would be better to just fly there like a sparrow.After all, Eisen is outside the world, so there is no need to turn Lockhart into a swimming dog and then swim across the sea, right?

……

A sparrow burrowed into an alley somewhere in London, and within a few minutes, Lockhart's figure emerged from it.At the same time, he was followed by an old man with white hair and beard, who was the figure of Dumbledore transformed by Eisen.

Two figures hurried past on the street, and after being "accidentally" seen by a Muggle, they quickly hid their figures and walked towards the suburbs.

After leaving the city, Eisen cast a spell to revoke the confusion spell on Lockhart, allowing him to regain his sanity, and at the same time dispelled the transformed Dumbledore figure.

As for himself, he stood aside and watched the show quietly.

I don't know if it was because of his trip to Azkaban and being tortured by dementors for a period of time. After Lockhart "awakened", although he found that he had escaped from the cell, he did not act recklessly. Enter the wizarding world.

He first changed out of his own clothes, and then managed to steal a cloak before quietly going to Knockturn Alley.After buying a second-hand magic wand, I immediately started living in it.

Yes, he stayed directly in a hotel in Diagon Alley.

Although Lockhart didn't know why he escaped from Azkaban for no reason, he knew that escaping from prison was a serious crime and he did not dare to continue to walk openly.

In addition to eating and drinking throughout the day, he just reads the "Daily Prophet" ordered in the hotel, as if looking for some news.

However, at this point in time, the "Daily Prophet" reported news such as Sirius Black's escape from prison, Dumbledore's announcement that Voldemort had been completely killed, and the Albanian forest had become a forbidden area.

After seeing the newspaper reports about Voldemort and the Albanian forest, Eisen understood what was going on.

Speaking of which, this was the advice he gave to Dumbledore at the beginning.

Eisen originally thought that having Dumbledore, recognized as the strongest wizard in the contemporary world, spread the news would delay Voldemort's resurrection.

But what I didn't expect was that even though he later exposed the true identities of Lucius Malfoy and other Death Eaters at the Quidditch World Cup, which attracted a heavy blow from the Ministry of Magic and severely weakened the power of the Death Eaters, he still did not. Can prevent Voldemort from resurrecting.

Two months later, Lockhart saw the news that "Dumbledore" helped him escape from the newspaper. At the same time, the Ministry of Magic issued a reward for Lockhart.

I don't know if it was for this reason, but Lockhart quietly left Diagon Alley after checking out of the hotel.

Eisen was curious about Lockhart's next itinerary, and at the same time, because he wanted to ensure that he completed the tasks he should complete when registering for the Triwizard Tournament, he simply followed him.

What surprised him was that Lockhart quietly left England.

He followed all the way, and finally followed Lockhart to Albania.

When the other party entered the primeval forest of Albania, Eisen suddenly understood that the other party's destination was actually here.

In this regard, Eisen was a little confused as to why Lockhart came here.

But after some thinking, I came up with some guesses.

Perhaps, after staying in Diagon Alley for a while, Lockhart had to leave England because he was wanted by the Ministry of Magic for a reward and worried about being caught again.

As for why we came to the Albanian forest, I guess it was because I read in the newspaper that Dumbledore had announced that this area had become a forbidden area.

Maybe, Lockhart felt that after this place became a forbidden area, the wizards coming and going would gradually disappear.In this way, he may be much "freer" to walk here.

So, is it actually reasonable for Lockhart to leave England and come to the Albanian forest?

Well, it certainly looks like that.

However, Lockhart's plan did not go smoothly.

Eisen could see very clearly that Lockhart had just stepped into the Albanian forest, and before he entered the lush jungle where the sun never shines, he unfortunately encountered a brown bear.

Perhaps it was because he lived in this world that the brown bear grew extremely tall and powerful, and gave Lockhart a powerful blow as soon as he came up.

If Lockhart was a normal wizard, then a brown bear, even if it had mutated into a magical animal, would probably not be his opponent.

But it's a pity that Lockhart is just a useless wizard who can do the forgetting spell well.

As a result, Lockhart was chased and attacked by a brown bear.Seeing this, Aisen had to take action secretly, blocking the brown bear's pursuit.

With Eisen's secret help, Lockhart finally escaped from the Albanian forest in panic.

Perhaps because his plan to explore the Albanian forest was blocked, Lockhart directly found a small village nearby and settled down.

Seeing this scene, Aisen was temporarily relieved.

Next, all it takes is Roja running around.After only one year, he throws the note with Eisen's name on it into the Goblet of Fire. Then what Lockhart does next is none of his business.

In the blink of an eye, nearly a year has passed.

Perhaps because of the status gap, after a while, Lockhart, who was living in a small village in Albania, began to practice the magic he had learned before.

Yes, Lockhart started practicing magic spells like levitation spells, cleaning spells, repair spells and other daily spells again.

In addition, he was like a Muggle, living almost outside the wizarding world.

Therefore, Lockhart hid in his room to practice spellcasting in his spare time, and lived a peaceful life like a Muggle the rest of the time.

On the night of October 1994, 10.

Eisen appeared in Lockhart's residence, cast the confusion spell again to temporarily control his mind, and then controlled him to write the name "Eisen Turner" on a piece of parchment.

Immediately afterwards, Eisen used the magic power in his body through the Laplace demon system, and cast a phantom invisibility spell through the hair hidden on Lockhart's head.

……

Hogwarts Castle, at midnight, the moonlight shone slanting down, making the dark night a bit hazy.

Near the center of the foyer corridor stood a crude wooden cup burning with blue-white flames.Apparently, that's where registration for the Triwizard Tournament comes in.

Anyone who wants to sign up should throw in a piece of paper with their name on it.

As soon as the idea came to mind, Eisen opened the God's perspective and saw the entire castle in his mind, and then discovered two other figures of himself in his office and the abandoned classroom on the fifth floor.

Seeing this scene, Eisen immediately understood what was going on.

There is no doubt that his figure in the office is him when time first reached midnight on October 1994, 10.

At that time, he was indeed handling his own affairs in the office.

As for his figure in the abandoned classroom on the fifth floor, it was obvious that he returned to this point in time a few days later in order to find out who put his name into the Goblet of Fire.

Of course, according to common sense, he was sitting quietly in the abandoned classroom on the fifth floor at this time, and there was no way for him to see the Disillusionment Curse, the Concealment Curse and other spells on his body.

But in fact, after having the Laplace Demon System, he had already developed the magic spell to break the Illusion Curse and the Invisibility Curse.

In this way, coupled with powerful computing and analysis capabilities, Eisen can clearly reflect his past figure with just a little calculation and simulation.

After seeing through it at a glance, Eisen did not make any extra moves. He immediately turned off the God's perspective and set his sight on the open space in front of the Goblet of Fire.

But a figure appeared out of thin air, it was Lockhart with curly blond hair.

Because his mind was being manipulated, Lockhart's eyes were so empty at this moment that he looked like a puppet on strings.

Eisen knew that the sudden appearance of Lockhart must be under his past gaze.

Therefore, without any hesitation, while thinking about it, one of Lockhart's curly blond hairs suddenly shone with silver light.

The silver light quickly enveloped Lockhart's entire body, and then emitted a faint brilliance.

It looked as if Lockhart's whole body suddenly emitted a layer of silver light, giving people a dazzling feeling.

Immediately afterwards, the silver brilliance gathered and projected to the side, turning into an illusory yet real figure.

That is the memory Eisen differentiated on that hair.

After this scene appeared, Eisen continued to conduct.

The illusory figure reached out and made a move, and a note flew out of Lockhart's robe and fell into the figure's hand.Immediately afterwards, the figure kept moving, waving his hand towards Lockhart.

After completing this action, Lockhart raised his wand, pointed it in the direction of the Goblet of Fire, and fired a blue light.

The flame in the Goblet of Fire, which was shining with blue and white flames, jumped violently for a few times and then calmed down.Seeing this, Eisen's differentiated memory nodded with satisfaction, and then threw the note with his name in his hand into the Goblet of Fire.

"It's finally over!" Eisen breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the parchment with his name on it had been thrown into the Goblet of Fire.

At that moment, with a thought, the illusory memory dispersed again and turned into silver light, penetrated into Lockhart's body, and then all flowed into that hair.

Immediately afterwards, Ison used the Phantom again to send Lockhart back to Albania, and then revoked his control over him.

After the matter is completed, the next step is to wait quietly.

Judging from the current time point, in the real world, it won't be long before he thinks of using the Goblet of Fire to study how to conclude a contract.

Then, Ison will create the "Book of Ison", and then he will make a contract with the "Book of Ison". Finally, during the Yule Ball, let Hermione sign a contract with the "Book of Ison" .

Once the contract is concluded, it means that a solid anchor has been buried in the real world.At that time, Eisen will be sure to return to the real world.

……

For the next time, Eisen waited quietly.

Just when he thought he would just wait quietly until the night of the Yule Ball and then sign a contract with Hermione, unexpectedly something happened on Lockhart's side.

I don't know what happened, but Eisen just didn't pay much attention to Lockhart's whereabouts for a while, but he didn't expect that he would be involved with Voldemort.

Eisen was not interested in knowing exactly how they were involved, but when he set his sights on Lockhart again, he found that he had a strong aura of black magic on his body.

Although Lockhart looked weak, he became much more courageous.Not only did he start frequenting the wizarding world in Albania, but he also often wandered around places similar to Knockturn Alley in the UK.

After thinking about it for a while, Eisen thought about the fact that Dumbledore thought that Voldemort was likely to be resurrected.It was immediately clear that all of this was probably due to Lockhart.

To be honest, it seems very unreasonable for Lockhart to get involved with Voldemort.

But then I thought about it, and it seemed that a person who was ruined in the wizarding world and was wanted for "escaping from prison" for no apparent reason seemed to be a bit desperate.

So under this circumstance, it doesn't seem impossible that Lockhart accidentally met the Dark Lord Voldemort and was deceived into joining him.

Because of this change, Eisen usually focused part of his attention on Lockhart in his free time.

Unexpectedly, something quite dramatic happened next.

On November 1994, 11, when Lockhart, who had Voldemort as his backer, bought some black magic materials from a certain black market and was about to leave, he was seen and recognized by a wizard.

The man was a wizard whose name Isen had heard before, but whose person he had never met.He is a member of the Order of the Phoenix, Dumbledore's - er, friend, yes, he is Mongotten Fletcher.

Well, running into Mongletons is nothing unusual.To Eisen's surprise, at a bar gathering five days later, Monggertons revealed the news that he wanted to capture Lockhart in order to obtain a bounty from the Ministry of Magic.
