The Transfiguration professor at Hogwarts is always up for business

"It's a deal, Professor Lockhart."

The girl leaned halfway on the sofa and nodded gracefully.

Lockhart took out a few pieces of parchment, folded it in half and cut it from the middle, and soon lines of fancy fonts appeared on it.

"As you wish, Miss Granger, you should keep these approval slips in the restricted area for your spare. If the agreement is fulfilled, I can provide you with all the conveniences within my authority."

Looking at the approval note handed over, Hermione gently shook her head to signal him to put it on the coffee table, but did not intend to take it.

"This is only the most trivial part of the agreement, Professor. I will help you in your actions, but that's all, don't expect more."

The little witch turned her neck, stared at Lockhart again and said, "I'm just a night tour. Even if it's inappropriate to appear in the professor's office in the middle of the night, Hogwarts will not expel students for it. And you... ..."

Hearing this, the face of the man opposite was a bit ugly, but he still tried his best to maintain a standard smile, but when he continued to listen, Hermione suddenly shouted softly:

"All petrochemical!"

A gloomy light suddenly burst out from the front of the girl's wand, and the next moment, a "respected" Defense Against the Dark Arts professor exerted force all over his body at the same time, bounced off the sofa and stood in an extremely standard military posture, and then bang slap on the coffee table.

The coffee table is made of solid wood, which is of good quality and expensive.

In this life, Aini is rich. Although he did not deliberately pursue material enjoyment, he would not wrong himself in life.

Now the office is full of his personal belongings, as is the sofa that Lockhart was sitting on just now, the same high quality, the same high price, and the same - very heavy.

That's why Lockhart didn't smash it after hitting it on the coffee table, and he didn't fall to the side either - the pair of polished leather shoes, together with their owner, got stuck by the sofa.

Let him lean there like an rubber stick, bent at a funny angle.

Rigid muscles prevented him from moving, and even his habitual smile was gone.

And after hearing the girl's next words, I'm afraid that for a long time to come, he probably won't have a good face after seeing Hermione.

"And you... didn't expect that you are really a liar for fame!"

If it wasn't for the body-binding spell, Lockhart's hair would explode now, and he could already imagine what the little witch would say next, and that was precisely the second most feared secret in his heart.

"Lockhart...Professor?"

The girl's voice became a little playful, "It's hard to believe that a liar like you can write so many wonderful and detailed books. Maybe there is some secret in it that keeps you in the dark about all wizards in the magic world."

Hermione's sharp and beautiful chin was slightly raised, making her fair neck more slender, looking like a swan about to spread its wings, an angel dancing in the air.

"Your detailed description in the book makes it hard to believe that these stories are fabricated. Maybe there really is a village suffering from werewolves, and there is really a vampire traveling with a wizard..."

The girl's voice became ethereal, and the soft words sounded like melodious notes, jumping out of her rosy mouth one after another, but her body was as motionless as the cursed Lockhart.

However, the perceptions between the two are quite different. One is a clown who stabs the ground obliquely like a javelin, while the other is sure of winning and full of majesty to control everything.

Those melodious notes fell on Lockhart's ears, as if they turned into sharp arrows to kill evil, piercing his cowardly and dirty heart full of holes.

"I believe that those moving stories have indeed happened in the world, but the protagonist in them is not you!"

The corners of the girl's mouth were slightly raised, and under the illumination of the magic lights, she looked like a walker whose radiance was placed in the world, driving away the evil spirits around her.

In Lockhart's eyes, it was clear that in front of him was a terrifying demon that was still hooking the darkness with its tail and was about to completely destroy him.

Otherwise, how could a second-year student smile so wickedly?

Fortunately, Hermione hasn't learned Legilimency yet, otherwise I'd have to scare Lockhart for a while longer!

Why is she so evil and hideous?It was just that when Aini was talking to her, her little ears were itchy with the air she exhaled!

"Ten thousand."

In a trance, Lockhart heard the girl spit out a number decisively.

"..."

"I think the agreement just now should be revised. After all, you don't seem to be the strong party anymore."

Hermione lifted Lockhart's Binding Curse, but still held her wand firmly in her hand, reminding him not to act rashly.

"Mr. Lockhart, the rest of the conditions can remain the same, but you have to pay me an additional [-] Galleons. Of course, you can also choose to refuse, in that case..."

The girl tilted her head slightly, as if she was listening to something. Just when Lockhart thought he had found a chance and wanted to take advantage of the other party's distraction to fight back, he took out his wand and was sent flying by a red light.

"Except your weapons!"

Hermione grabbed the flying wand and pretended to say "Flashback Curse", and various lights began to appear on the short cherry wood wand - most of the images came from the Forgetting Curse.

"I know the danger is behind me, but I can't act rashly. Only by learning to be patient can I better seize the opportunity and subdue those powerful enemies that are difficult to defeat in a frontal battle."

The girl uttered a long inner monologue as if she was performing a drama. Ironically, this appropriate speech came from the pen of the man curled up on the ground.

"Remember? I love "Traveling with Vampires". You can give words power, which is an amazing achievement. Like the real protagonists in those books, they obviously have wonderful experiences, but they are unknown, and you I can make a name for myself and write works that everyone likes.”

Hermione sighed a little, isn't it good to write a book honestly?How many legendary stories are there in history for him to adapt?But he chose to be a liar who was destined to be exposed.

"If you choose to decline, I will send this wand to the Ministry of Magic. Remember the girl with the blonde braids who sat in the front row last class? Her aunt is in the Department of Legal Enforcement. I think Ms. Burns will Interested in."

Lockhart retracted his arms into his arms, the physical pain could no longer shake his heart, at this moment all his spirit was shrouded in fear.

The threat of ruin broke through all his defenses in an instant.

"I'll give, within a week, no, tomorrow, tomorrow you'll have this Wangaleon, and..."

Lockhart's eyes rolled, and he was willing to pay any price for his reputation.

"...I will pay you two thousand Galleons every year in the future, as long as you can keep it a secret."

When it came to his fundamentals, Lockhart's IQ went online immediately. Two thousand Galleons a year was just a small figure for him. Just the books purchased by Hogwarts students this year made him a lot of money.

As long as he can maintain his personality, the money he can earn after being gilded at Hogwarts will only be more. Lockhart is willing to use this as an extra guarantee for his secret.
