Hogwarts, a Scholar Becomes a God

"... At this critical moment, I broke free from the evil magic cast on me by the female ghost, waved my wand, and released a very powerful, very powerful flash banishment spell, which is a variant of the flash spell. The noonday sun, lighted between my sticks..."

Lockhart was waving his wand while reciting the contents of "Break with the Ghost", but compared to the description, the tip of his wand only had a very faint white light.

Fortunately, Hermione cooperated very well, immediately pretended to be frightened, screamed, and ran off the podium, and Clark also woke up from his confusion in time.

"Yes, that's how I was, relying on the spell to exorcise the female ghost (banshee) in the Bandon Valley, thus saving the honest Muggle boy Jack. Well, thanks to Miss Granger and Pwee Mr. Te, I think you should go to lunch."

Lockhart looked at the little wizards in the audience, and listened to the bell ringing next to his ear, ending the Defense Against the Dark Arts class this time.

The little wizards swarmed out of the classroom, they didn't have classes in the afternoon, and they just wanted to finish their lunch quickly, then rush back to the lounge, and take a good nap.

But Clark stayed at the end, and when all the little wizards left, he took Hermione to the front of the podium, "Professor Lockhart, we have something we want to find you."

Lockhart stopped packing his things and looked up at them, "Ah, it's Clark, I have to say, you performed very well today, do you want my autographed photo?"

He showed a big smile and prepared to take out his autographed photo at the same time.

Clark had a request from him, and of course he would not refuse. After receiving the signed photo, he said, "Professor, it looks like this. A few of us students are going to jointly organize a "Hogwarts School Magazine."

"Ah! That's really wonderful," Lockhart began his memory again, "Actually, when I was young, I used to..."

Clark quickly interrupted him, "Professor, we came to you today because we hope that you can be our instructor and help us get this magazine going."

What he said made Lockhart stunned for a moment, "Me? As an instructor? Hahaha, what a shame."

"We sincerely invite you to help us." Hermione emphasized from the side.

Seeing the excited look on Lockhart's face, Clark struck while the iron was hot and said pretending to be aggrieved.

"Of course, I know, we don't have much money, and we don't invest much. We are just making small troubles. Professor Lockhart, you can be forgiven for looking down on us..."

When Lockhart heard this,

Quickly denied: "No, no, that's not what I mean, it's not because of money, how can I value money."

"Great!" Clark grabbed Lockhart's hand and shook it vigorously, "Since you promised to be the editor-in-chief of this magazine, Professor, we can rest assured."

Lockhart looked at them in bewilderment, when did he agree, "No, I..."

"Yeah, it's great to teach you, I really admire you!"

Hermione sang along side by side, coaxing Lockhart into elation, and at this moment Clark said, "One more thing, our magazine has just started, there is no..."

"Money?" Lockhart showed an embarrassed look, "This... teacher, I don't have any money now..."

"No, no," Clark said hastily, "Professor, you don't need to pay for it. We have temporarily received some support from the "Daily Prophet", and we don't need to spend much money, just your salary as the editor-in-chief..."

Looking at Clark and Hermione who were in trouble, Lockhart waved his hand freely, "I thought it was something, the salary is not necessary, after all, you are only students, what money can you have?"

After getting the answer he wanted, Clark smiled happily.

"That's great, Professor, we will definitely put your name on the cover as the editor-in-chief!"

Clark and Hermione ran out of the classroom excitedly, and Lockhart shouted behind them, "Don't forget to choose a nice photo for me."

The two ran down several floors in succession, slowing down only when it was confirmed that Lockhart could not hear their conversation.

"Shall we lie to Professor Lockhart like that just now?" Hermione looked at Clark. "You know, once the magazine starts to launch subscriptions, the professor only needs to take a look at it to know that we are not short of money."

"It can only be said that you have too little experience."

Clark said as he walked.

"Yes, we are not short of money. Even if the magazine is short of money, I have enough ability to pay Lockhart. But things don't work like this. You must know that dealing with different people requires different methods.

A person like Professor Lockhart likes to be self-centered. Don't look at what he said now. When we run the school magazine well, he will definitely not be satisfied with being a rubber stamp.

If we treat him well from the beginning, then he will definitely push forward later, want more benefits, and intervene in the school magazine. At that time, we will be passive. "

"So you try to squeeze his interests now." Hermione immediately began to infer other things from one instance, "When he has other ideas later, can you bargain with him?"

Clark nodded, "Yes, you are very smart."

Hermione raised her head proudly, "That's right, seeing how Professor Lockhart is in class, the stories in his book must be full of water, as long as we collect evidence, we won't have to worry about not having tools to beat him. "

Clark laughed loudly, "I won't bother you to worry about it. I will make my own arrangements when the time comes. You'd better finish your part of the board first."

The two walked to the auditorium and sat down at the long Gryffindor table, and food was immediately piled up in front of them.

Clark was cutting the steak with a knife and fork, and asked Hermione, "By the way, do we have any plans for this afternoon?"

Hermione ate the spaghetti bolognese on the plate, and recalled, "It seems that there is a Quidditch team training in the afternoon, it belongs to our Gryffindor, George said let us go, the sports section of the first issue Let’s introduce our own team.”

After lunch, the two went back to the dormitory to take a rest. After four o'clock, when the sun was not so hot, they left the castle, stepped on the green grass, and walked towards the Quidditch pitch.

The Gryffindor players were coming out of the dressing room when the two of them got there.

Harry saw Ron sitting in the stands, as well as Clark and Hermione who had just arrived, and waved to them.

"Haven't you finished training yet?" Ron asked incredulously.

"It hasn't started yet," Harry said slightly complaining, "Wood told us about the new tactics."

Then, he got on his broomstick, kicked the ground with his feet, and flew up with a whoosh.
