Candidates for Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts?

Why do we need to ask for his opinion on this kind of question? He doesn't attend this class.

Besides, it hasn’t been decided yet who to use? So when will Lockhart appear in front of Dumbledore?

"With all due respect, Professor Dumbledore, you shouldn't ask me about this teacher's seat. I think if possible, there should be many professors in the school who have done research on the defense of dark magic."

Jon is still thinking about Lockhart becoming the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, although he is not yet sure whether this event can become a real event.

If Lockhart cannot become the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, then he will have to make adjustments to what may happen. If Lockhart cannot take up his post on time, this means that the future direction may have changed.

Jon was very worried about something like this happening, but at the same time he couldn't tell Dumbledore right now that there was such a candidate waiting for Dumbledore to choose.

Perhaps Dumbledore asked this question because he hoped that he could introduce someone new, preferably someone he could trust.

"In fact, I'm not particularly familiar with the professors in the school." Jon poked at his clothes, and then declined: "In any case, I can't rely on my own preferences to recommend professors for the Defense Against the Dark Arts course.

Moreover, some other professors may not be very responsible for this position. I think you have high hopes for this professor of Defense Against Dark Arts. What do you say?"

"Actually, I have a few candidates. I just hope you can give me some advice. After all, you are also a student." Dumbledore picked up the pen and started writing on the paper: "What do you think of Snape?"

"As for Professor Snape, it would be better to be in charge of the Potions class. After all, isn't the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor you chose mainly to teach Harry?

I feel that Professor Snape's personal emotions may not have any positive guidance for Harry, but may easily arouse Harry's rebellious spirit."

"I think so."

Dumbledore did not write Snape's name on the paper at all, but asked Jon several people whose names he had never even heard of.

"From the Ministry of Magic? What do those administrators know about teaching?"

Jon shook his head and denied: "If those officials from the Ministry of Magic are released to teach, it doesn't matter if they have good character, it's just that the results are not good, but if there are other things, it won't be a good thing."

Jon curled his lips: "It's not that I have any prejudice against the Ministry of Magic, but I am very aware of the recent style of the Ministry of Magic. Among them are either Harry's admirers, or other seemingly neutral camps. I don't think so.

I don’t think this is a good choice.”

In fact, for this reason, Jon could also guess what Dumbledore meant, but he was just not sure.

"Then do you have any other good choices? I heard from your grandma that last holiday you found yourself a tutor to teach you some magic at home, so I thought you had some unique insights about teachers.

.”

"Yes, my grandma really tells you everything."

Jon complained silently, but decided to tell the story about Lockhart now, because if he misses this opportunity, he may not have the chance to tell it next time.

"I did find a teacher to teach me how to study, but it didn't just teach me magic. He also taught me some skills in how to behave and survive in society."

Jon spread his hands, "You know, I have a lot of other things to deal with."

After all, the tea thing that Jon just mentioned falls into the category of other things, so Dumbledore doesn't have to worry about it.

He was actually quite curious about the teacher Jon had found. After all, Jon had always been mysterious and secretive after enrolling in school. He had secretly figured out a lot of things, and everything was very interesting.

If Senior Helga is there to look after Jon, then there shouldn't be many teachers that Jon can take notice of.

"I think you should be very familiar with this teacher of mine. He is very famous."

Jon introduced: "He is a writer."

"Lockhart?" Dumbledore's beard curled up: "You're not talking about Gilderoy Lockhart, are you?"

"Exactly."

"If it's him, then I might need to think about it."

Dumbledore felt that he was not a person who relied on reputation to judge the character and character of certain people, but as a pragmatic person with a wide range of friends, he did hear some bad things about Lockhart from many friends.

rumors.

Vanity, boredom, arrogance...

These evaluations all come from some very famous older male wizards. Although Dumbledore feels that the evaluations of these wizards are not very pertinent, if so many people can have such highly similar evaluations of Lockhart at the same time, then it will indeed be

It's something worth considering.

"In fact, I also know that the outside world may have a very high misunderstanding of Mr. Lockhart."

Jon scratched his head and smiled sheepishly. At this moment, he was not so neutral when it came to speaking for Lockhart.

But since Dumbledore wanted to ask for his opinion, it would not be a good thing to leave some neutral opinions.

He said: "Mr. Lockhart is very smart and has a good mind for dealing with people."

——It’s just not used in the right place.

"In my opinion, he is a person who is very good at making friends with others."

——It’s just that the motivation for making friends is not very pure.

"Although his reputation is indeed not good, this is a weakness of his character. I do not deny this."

——There is no way to deny it. After all, Lockhart has indeed done many things that male wizards hate with his good-looking face.

"However, I still have great trust in him. If you are curious, you can meet with him in person.

By the way, he is the one who knows my true identity."

——But these have nothing to do with this matter, so Jon will naturally not say more.

Jon's identity is a very important secret, and if Lockhart can know this level, it means that Jon really trusts this person.

But isn’t this kid being bewitched?

Dumbledore glanced at the child in front of him with some suspicion. Although Jon always looked mature in front of him, he was still a child after all.

But Jon said it very sincerely, and he was willing to consider it.

"How about this? I will send a letter to Mr. Lockhart to ask what he means, and then we can make a decision?"
