Hogwarts professor mixed in Marvel

Hogwarts, eighth floor corridor.

Tread! Tread! Tread!

Accompanied by the sound of hurried footsteps, Professor McGonagall, wearing dark green wizard robes, strode over.

He held a stack of thick envelopes in his hand, and his steps showed a slight anxiety.

"chocolate ball!"

The blob of stone beast statue opened with a bang, and Professor McGonagall quickly walked in.

Soon, with a call to come in, Professor McGonagall opened the door and saw Dumbledore writing a letter.

"Albus, Lockhart is recruiting research assistants in the name of Hogwarts. Why didn't you mention this to me?"

Having said this, Professor McGonagall's expression was obviously a little bad. As he spoke, he raised the thick stack of envelopes in his hand and said, "I received so many letters last night, including this morning. There are a lot of them."

All the owls came to me."

At the end of the sentence, there was obvious complaint in his tone.

"Minerva, don't worry." Dumbledore wrote his name on the letter, raised his head and said with a smile, "I wanted to take time to talk to you about this today."

"I didn't expect Lockhart to be so impatient. Not long after I agreed, he found the Daily Prophet."

After hearing this, Professor McGonagall's face became a little better, but he still said with a hint of worry: "Albus, are you sure there is no problem in recruiting research assistants in the name of Hogwarts recruitment?"

"The matter seems to be a bit serious. The school board has sent letters to inquire about it, and their attitude is not good."

Having said this, Professor McGonagall asked with curiosity: "Albus, is Lockhart's research true?"

"Now he can give the Squib the ability to cast spells?"

"Yes, Minerva." Dumbledore nodded gently and said, "I also participated in Lockhart's research. It is true that the Squib can be given the ability to cast spells."

Hearing this, Professor McGonagall nodded and asked thoughtfully: "So... Albus, how much did you participate in this research?"

"Some of my friends have written inquiring letters one after another. Although they didn't write it explicitly, they hinted at what they said. They suspected that Lockhart was a shield for you to push him out?"

"Minerva, what do you think?" Dumbledore did not reply to Professor McGonagall's question, but asked directly.

Obviously, Professor McGonagall was hesitant. She thought for a moment before saying, "Maybe I would have had similar thoughts before Lockhart became a professor. After all, Lockhart had not made any achievements in magic research before."

"However, after recent exchanges, it feels like he researched it."

"Of course, I believe you more. You are definitely not the kind of person who is looking for a shield."

Regarding Professor McGonagall's answer, Dumbledore said with a smile: "Indeed, this research was basically completed by Lockhart alone, and I just tinkered with it later."

Hearing this, Professor McGonagall seemed to have thought of something. He raised the envelope in his hand and said, "Albus, would you like to read these letters?"

"This was sent by the school board. They think it is a research result of Hogwarts."

"It is said that the matter is of great importance, so let us temporarily stop recruiting research assistants, and do not publicly announce the news in the Daily Prophet."

"After everyone has gathered, we will discuss it at the school board meeting and make decisions together."

At the end of the sentence, Professor McGonagall's tone was obviously full of disgust.

Of course she understood the attitude of the school board, which was nothing more than wanting to keep the research results as her own.

Professor McGonagall certainly knew what changes Lockhart's research would bring.

If a pure-blood family were to take control of it, I'm afraid that if Squib wanted to master magic, he wouldn't be able to even think about it without becoming a member of a pure-blood family.

She is a mixed-blood wizard who was despised and bullied by pure-blood families when she was young.

Of course you know what those in the pure-blood family think.

"Oh, that's it." Contrary to Professor McGonagall's attitude, Dumbledore's attitude remained gentle and unchanged, as if everything was expected.

"Then you can reply to them that this research has nothing to do with Hogwarts. It was researched by Lockhart alone."

"I would like to emphasize that Professor Lockhart has only been at Hogwarts for a month, and this research was the result of his work before he came to Hogwarts."

"Okay, Albus." Dumbledore's reply made Professor McGonagall's lips curl up slightly.

She had already imagined the expressions on the faces of those pure-blood families when they read the reply.

"By the way, Minerva, please forward the letter from the school board to Lockhart for me." Dumbledore said gently: "Ask again if Lockhart wants to continue to use Hogwarts as a Are you applying for a research assistant in the name?”

"If he wants to, there is no need to stop him."

"Okay, Albus." Professor McGonagall replied with some hesitation.

Obviously, she understood what Dumbledore meant.

.....................................

Lockhart's office.

"Professor McGonagall, the principal really said that."

Looking at Minerva McGonagall opposite, Lockhart asked.

"Yes, Lockhart." Professor McGonagall nodded slightly.

Lockhart looked at the school board envelope in front of him, lost in thought.

Of course he understood what Dumbledore meant.

Now that the problem is before him, it depends on how he chooses.

If he chooses to rise to the challenge and continue to recruit research assistants in the name of Hogwarts.

Then it is equivalent to in-depth cooperation with Hogwarts.

Later, the school board will definitely use this as an excuse to plunder his research results, and even use it to destroy his reputation.

He had seen, heard, and experienced this routine in his previous life.

Naturally disgusted.

But if you no longer use the name Hogwarts, recruit research assistants.

Then the school board has no excuse to stop him.

After all, he has only been in school for a month. If this information is released, even fools will know whose research results this is.

So, he chose...

"Okay, Professor McGonagall, then continue to recruit in the name of Hogwarts."

Lockhart replied decisively.

Although there are troubles in using the name of Hogwarts, the benefits are also great.

The influence of Hogwarts can be said to be the ceiling of the entire wizarding world.

If you can borrow it, although there are some disadvantages, the advantages definitely outweigh the disadvantages.

This is equivalent to using the name of Tsinghua University and Peking University to promote some knowledge in my previous life.

Basically, without exerting too much force, this knowledge spreads naturally and is even sought after by many people.

Many people subconsciously believed it when they heard it was from Qingbei.

This is the influence of famous schools.

Hogwarts, on the other hand, has a much longer history, and its reputation for thousands of years makes it the number one in the entire wizarding world.

It can be said that it will be much easier to promote the new magic system with the help of Hogwarts' influence.

As for the school board meeting later...

"Minerva, I can call you that."

"I would like to ask, can you introduce me to the school board of directors?"

"Also, can I join the school board?"
