Harry Potter: From Muggle Cousin to Conceptual Wizard

Chapter 447 Practical Tutoring: The Teaching Situation (Part 2)! Lockhart's Journey of Atonemen

Dali arranged for Rita and Theseus, a married couple, to debut as a duo—no, to teach.

In this way, when they provide practical guidance to students, they can conduct regular combat drills.

This serves as a unique attraction, drawing students' attention.

This move proved effective.

Rita's sensitive nature can balance Theseus's carefree personality, creating a synergy greater than the sum of its parts.

As they attracted more students, Rita's mood improved, and Theseus became happier as well.

In addition, Dalmatian also took the opportunity to help Rita with her psychological issues.

Let Queenie take Leta to truly experience the now completely different Slytherin School and the positive atmosphere of equality and non-discrimination among Hogwarts students.

Gradually, Rita began to reconcile with herself, becoming sunny and cheerful from the inside out.

Of course, Rita's half-brother Kauss also played an indispensable role in this process.

Kous is now an infant and needs Rita's care and upbringing.

For Rita, this was an important source of emotional support; with such support, one is less likely to become despondent.

At the same time, Rita now engages in wizard battles with Theseus or other professors almost every day, and she doesn't slack off even on weekends when she doesn't provide practical guidance to her students.

He would also spend a lot of time reading and studying in the Hogwarts Library, which Dudley had expanded.

She is an extremely ambitious witch who doesn't want her strength to continue to hold her back, so she works even harder.

Theseus, recognized by the international magical community as a battle hero who fought against Grindelwald, and with Leta by his side to make up for his shortcomings, naturally became increasingly popular among students. His work and life were thriving, and he was happy and fulfilled.

Professor Youssef Kama, though introverted like his sister Rita, is worldly-wise and gentle. Even as he grows younger, he retains a calm and reserved air of maturity.

In addition, his magical skills were quite good, and his combat skills and spellcasting techniques were unique, which made him very popular among a group of senior students.

His practical tutoring ensures he has no shortage of students.

In addition, the tutoring time of each practical tutor is flexible and will be adjusted to suit the class schedules of students in different grades and colleges.

Students do not need to stick with one practical mentor; they can receive guidance from all of them according to their own schedules.

This arrangement is more humane, makes the competition among practical tutors less intense, and eliminates the need to consider the feelings of friends and relatives among them, making it a win-win situation.

It's worth mentioning that, for the past two weeks since the start of the new school year, Lockhart, like Sirius, has not been attending classes at school.

His weekly Defense Against the Dark Arts class was temporarily taken over by Professor Tina.

Sirius Black didn't come to school because he accepted Dudley's arrangement to return to his ancestral home and wait for Voldemort. No further explanation is needed.

Lockhart, on the other hand, was delayed in returning to school purely because of troublesome personal matters.

Lockhart is also the only professor among the current Hogwarts faculty who has not benefited from the youth-oriented incentives offered by Dali.

This guy started his journey of redemption around the world during the summer vacation after the end of the school year.

He went to find the unfortunate wizards whose past adventures he had stolen and whose memories he had erased, just as Dudley had said when he recruited him into the teaching team, to sincerely apologize to those wizards he had hurt and restore their memories.

Then pay a hefty sum to buy out the copyright to their adventure stories.

There will definitely be dangers in this process.

Even the best wizards from various countries who love outdoor adventures, don't often interact with outsiders, and frequently fight against dark creatures, are not exactly known for their good tempers.

Being manipulated by Lockhart's words, ambushed in secret, and losing one's memory—no one could bear such a thing.

Not to mention they were facing a group of wizards who were generally hot-tempered.

Therefore, no matter how approachable Lockhart is or how charming his smile is, after explaining things to the victimized wizard and using a forgetting spell to restore their memory, he still cannot avoid being attacked and retaliated against by the wizard with a wand.

Having anticipated this situation, Lockhart opted for a passive defense.

Using the spellcasting and combat skills he had refreshed and improved at Hogwarts last year, he did his best to defend against the victim wizard's attacks and retaliations with defensive spells, without retaliating in any way.

Only after the victimized wizard calmed down did he put on a fawning smile and apologize, discussing compensation and buying out the copyright to the adventure story.

If it doesn't work the first time, try again; if it doesn't work the second time, try a third time. Keep at it until you get what you want.

Fortunately, the wizards Lockhart had offended in the past were all white wizards, so Lockhart's attitude of apologizing was quite sincere. Before restoring the victims' memories, he would also talk to the victims to make them psychologically prepared.

Therefore, none of the victimized wizards have yet killed Lockhart.

Lockhart was able to reach a reconciliation with the victimized wizard by using a large number of Galleons, despite being injured time and time again, sincerely apologizing time and time again, and only defending without counterattacking time and time again.

With two months of summer vacation and more than half a month into the new school year, Lockhart's journey of atonement is drawing to a close.

Dudley had taken the time to observe Lockhart using his conceptual perception ability, and Lockhart's current situation was not optimistic. Various residual curse wounds had left Lockhart's body almost riddled with holes.

However, Dudley did not use the conceptual repair spell to remotely assist Lockhart.

Just as he had told Lockhart, he would not avenge Lockhart if Lockhart died at the hands of his avengers.

Therefore, if Lockhart were to die on the path of atonement, Dudley would only sigh a few times, but would not resurrect Lockhart or do anything more for him.

If Lockhart successfully completes his atonement and manages to return to Hogwarts and meet Dudley, then Dudley will heal Lockhart and provide him with the benefits of a younger faculty.

Everything depends on fate.

Dudley had already told Lockhart about the professors' dueling tournament to be held in the new school year.

Hopefully, Lockhart will have another opportunity to participate.

Aside from the professors' affairs, the students at Hogwarts have been most focused on and dedicated to the formation of the four houses' joint team over the past two weeks.

Each of the four academies must send at least one person to form a team, and they will study and train together for at least one academic year.

Such a thing has never happened in the thousand-year history of Hogwarts.

As for having the students from the four colleges form teams on their own, they had no experience in that area.

If we had to be specific, perhaps we could include middle and upper grade students who have the limited experience of inviting someone of the opposite sex to be their dance partner before attending a Christmas dance.
