Hogwarts, a Scholar Becomes a God

Latest website: Lockhart stared at Harry for several minutes, finally recognized the famous savior, and then he jumped up suddenly, shouting happily.

"Oh, Merlin's beard, isn't that Harry Potter?"

Even after hearing such words many times, Harry's heart still tightened.

The crowd in front of him actively moved out of the way, and at the same time they were all staring at him, whispering excitedly.

He saw that famous Lockhart rushing over, tightly grasping his arm, and then pulling himself to the front of the crowd, the audience erupted into bursts of applause.

Harry felt a fever on his face, it must be very red, and Lockhart next to him held his hand, telling the photographer from the "Daily Prophet" just now to hurry up and take a picture.

The short wizard frantically pressed the shutter again and again, framing the scene in front of him in the camera lens, bursts of purple smoke drifted to the Weasleys standing aside, choking them to cough continuously.

"What a beautiful smile, Harry!" Lockhart smiled and put his arms around Harry's shoulders, showing off his bright white teeth, "Tomorrow the two of us will be on the front page of the Daily Prophet together. "

Clark stood on the second floor and saw this scene clearly, which made him have to spend more effort to suppress his laughter.

Although Harry didn't see Clark, he also felt uncomfortable being watched by those around him like monkeys in a zoo. So he tried to struggle, but he just couldn't break free from Lockhart's grasp.

And when Lockhart finally let go of Harry's hand, he felt like his fingers were going numb. Harry wanted to slip back to the Weasleys, but Lockhart didn't seem to want to let him go just like that, and still put an arm around his shoulder, holding him firmly by his side.

"Ladies and gentlemen!" Maybe it was the unexpected situation today that made Lockhart so excited, or maybe it was the interview just now that made him feel sullen. The actor waved his hands vigorously and shouted to make everyone quiet.

"What an extraordinary moment this is. I would like to take this excellent occasion to announce a small matter that I have held back for some days and have not said."

Among the people present, perhaps only Clark could guess what he wanted to say.

honestly,

He was quite critical of Dumbledore's decision. After all, as a course aimed at black arts, Defense Against the Dark Arts was still very important at Hogwarts.

Even if there were rumors that the position was cursed by Voldemort, so that the teachers in each class did not stay long, this is not the reason why Dumbledore hired Lockhart to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts.

It can be seen from the original book that this is a beautiful embroidered pillow. Maybe he can be a star, but he is definitely not a good teacher.

If this choice was made just to warn Harry so that he would not indulge in false fame, then Dumbledore's behavior was indeed a bit too irresponsible.

Now he seems to be putting all his attention on the savior. The prophecy at the beginning became his life-saving straw, which made him ignore other students.

"Perhaps Dumbledore, who is getting older and older, has also begun to be on the verge of mental collapse under the influence of the magic power of chaos, and has fallen into a more paranoid situation." Clark thought to himself, "With his At this age, and still maintain such a strong magic power, the burden on oneself will only become heavier and heavier, if you don't pay attention, you may even slip into the abyss and become a veritable White Demon King."

Leaving aside Clark's thoughts, Lockhart continued his performance downstairs.

"When young Harry walked into Lihen Bookstore today, he just wanted to buy my autobiography. I was willing to give him this book for free on the spot, along with my entire set of books."

There was another round of applause.

"But he doesn't know," Lockhart went on, shaking Harry so that his glasses slid up his nose, "he's going to have something more valuable than my book 'I'm Magical' before long, actually. He and his classmates will get a real magical me. Yes, ladies and gentlemen. I am very happy and proud to announce that this September, I will be the Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry art teacher."

As soon as the news came out, the crowd once again burst into enthusiastic reactions. They applauded and cheered, because there were also Hogwarts students and their parents among these people.

Some of Lockhart's mother fans even said to their children: "It's great! Baby, you are so lucky to have Lockhart as a teacher, and then perform well in school and try to get a few more autographed photos .”

Of course, Clark was also disturbed by the huge movement, and he took a deep look at Lockhart again. The special bewitching fluctuations in the air, under the influence of his newly promoted [Psychic], In the eyes, it can be said that it is like observing lines on the palm, it is clear at a glance.

Yes, if he had a lot of opinions on Dumbledore's appointment before, then after formal contact with Lockhart today, he became quite critical of Dumbledore's decision.

Because Clark found that he was still affected by the prejudice of the original work, and he was somewhat preconceived. In other words, Rowling is a Muggle, she knows the magic of a hammer!

Just like Quirrell last semester, Gilderoy Lockhart, who graduated from Ravenclaw with good grades, is also not simple.

Although he looks like an embroidered pillow and can only talk about it, when interviewing him, Clark quickly discovered that several of his psychic powers didn't work on him.

At that time, he originally wanted to use psychic powers to get some secret information out of Lockhart's mouth, but whether it was the level 1 [Charm Human], [Depress Morale], or the level 2 [Detect Thoughts] , all failed on Lockhart.

No, it cannot be said that it was completely ineffective. After all, Clark also sensed some of Lockhart's thoughts later on, but it was the detected information that made Clark more certain that the so-called big liar in the original book, In the real magical world, it is definitely not simple.

In fact, this is quite normal. The original book is a fairy tale written for children after all, and the supporting characters in it are more symbols of facial makeup. Like Lockhart, he may have served only as a buffoon, telling children not to lie and be arrogant and indulge in a false reputation.

But anyone who has social experience knows that a person cannot be just a simple side!
