Chapter 757： Change the past

Lockhart smiled happily, "Of course it's okay. I have taught you before."

"Although there is insufficient practice in the course,"

He coughed slightly, "If you have friends or family members and need memory treatment in the future, you can come to me. I am an expert in this area. Whether it is to restore memory or adjust memory, it is my specialty."

Lockhart looked at George gratefully, "Thank you George for reminding me so that I can find my true self."

"Want to go upstairs for a cup of tea?"

George asked, he was kind of interested in Lockhart's experience.

Lockhart blinked, "I am honored to face the invitation of the greatest wizard in the magical world."

So they left the ward and came to the sixth floor.

The tea room on the sixth floor is not big, with several separate tables and chairs around the table.

There were not many people in the tea room, only a few doctors in green robes were drinking tea and chatting.

Today there are fewer patients, and the doctors are much easier.

Lockhart led them and sat down at a table by the window.

"Hi! Lockhart therapist, and everyone, what would you like to drink?"

A young round-faced guy came over, and he asked them with a warm smile.

"Oh, Jim, I want a cup of black tea and a little milk."

Lockhart gave a big smile.

"Black tea, thank you."

George ordered a cup of black tea.

The others ordered their favorite drinks.

After the hot tea was brought up, Lockhart took a small sip and breathed a sigh of relief while holding the teacup. "It's a good day now. Don't worry about being discovered."

Lockhart smiled brightly, showing white and shiny teeth, "I am a real therapist, all the experiences, all the admiration people have for me are real."

George took a sip of the black tea and smiled softly, "It seems that you are indeed having a good time during this period. Do you want to tell your story?"

"of course."

Lockhart smiled.

He said slowly, "The experience at Hogwarts in the second grade really woke me up. The moment I faced the basilisk, I really thought I was dead."

His tone seemed a little emotional, "I have stolen a lot of other people's memories and won others' honor. I am addicted to those false hallucinations. I have written a lot of great books, in which I defeated one opponent after another. , One difficulty after another, sometimes I really think it’s me."

His tone became serious.

"But I will wake up from that hallucination soon. I must be careful at all times. I must always pay attention to not being dismantled. Because I know that's not me, I'm just a shameful liar."

"Those honors make people fascinated, but those pressures make people crazy." Lockhart smiled. "Looking back now, I don't understand how I got here."

He took a gulp of black tea and shook his teacup.

He said softly, "It was a dark day. Wearing a mask for too long will make people unable to distinguish between illusion and reality."

George gestured to Lockhart with his teacup, "Everything is over, you have a new life."

"Yes."

Lockhart smiled, "A wonderful new life."

He blinked, "Of course, I wouldn't thank the basilisk that attacked me for that."

Lockhart took the teapot and added some black tea to himself.

"After walking around the line of life and death, I know that I can't continue." He smiled, "After all, I have been exposed, even if I want to continue to cheat."

"Professor, have you arrived at St Mungo after you left Hogwarts?"

Hermione seemed a little curious. In her memory, with Lockhart's ability at that time, he shouldn't be enough to serve as St Mungo's therapist.

"Of course it's not that fast." Lockhart said lightly, "I still live a period of hiding in Tibet."

Those difficult days, looking back now, he has been able to deal with them easily.

He smiled. “It’s not easy to leave Hogwarts just now. I am afraid of seeing people, I am afraid of being recognized. I am afraid of being accused of being a liar in public."

"I hid all the way and didn't dare to see people."

Lockhart's tone was a little sorrowful, and it was not easy to think back to the days.

He smiled, "Fortunately, I grew up in the Muggle world. I changed my magic robe and hid my wand, so I could mix in Muggles. Plus I had saved a lot of money before, but it was not enough It's too shabby."

George nodded, and said in agreement, "Be prepared and prepared for everything. It's always right."

Lockhart gave George a grateful look. "The notes you gave me also helped me a lot. In those days when I was hiding from people, I gradually picked up the previous magic."

He lowered his head and looked at the tea cup in his hand. “When I just left school, I hid aimlessly in the house without seeing anyone, doing nothing except eating and sleeping.”

He said in a low voice, "In that dark day, I hid for a long time. One day, I suddenly woke up from a mirror."

Lockhart's tone was a little weird, as if he was talking about irrelevant people and irrelevant things.

"The person in the mirror is completely unfamiliar, ugly, sloppy, this is not me, this is completely different from me. I know I can't continue, I started to learn the previous magic again."

"Then, I found fun in magic, and I found a goal, and I became a wizard again."

He laughed, "Of course, things are definitely not that easy to say, but I am a wizard after all, and I have found my goal."

He smiled, "When I woke up one morning, I found my new goal. I am no longer in hiding. I want to go back to the past, I want to change the past."

There was a tremor in his tone, that was the moment when he crossed the boundaries of life and death. It was with this determined goal that he crawled out of the abyss.

"Change the past?"

Harry asked in surprise, "How did the past change?"

"Change the past, start by changing yourself." George's eyes flashed with inexplicable light.

"Start by changing myself." Lockhart smiled brilliantly, showing shiny white teeth, "It's not easy to change the past, but I have some advantages."

He explained, "The past has passed, but the memories of the past are hidden in memory. I am a master of memory magic. In the process of learning other magic, I have a new experience, I want Go one step closer and become a truly powerful wizard."
