HP Approaches the Magic World

"Do we need to put any thought into teaching students? I think the current state of teaching is quite good. Everyone is happy, and I am happy too. The principal is right. People who can really learn things will not

People who have been free this year and can't learn anything, no matter how great the teacher is, can't learn anything - besides, isn't it you?"

Lockhart came closer and said, "Senior, you are the most important person on Harry's side, aren't you?"

"Only you can say such disgusting words. If it were someone else, it would definitely not be possible."

Snape was completely defeated. He felt that he must have owed Lockhart something in his previous life, otherwise why would he be tortured like this now?

"Senior, what are you talking about? If you have anything to say, don't hold it in your heart and say it, just say it."

Snape immediately raised his head when he heard his voice, and met Lockhart's gaze.

"You read me? You can actually read me?"

Snape's surprise was not without reason. Although he didn't know what state Lockhart had reached, his own state was said by Dumbledore himself, and it was only a little bit worse than the legend. Such a state

, it may not be much different from Voldemort in his heyday - if the two of them could compete fairly, it would be a pity that he was restricted by the oath. He had to obey Voldemort's orders, and it was impossible to confront him head-on.

But this does not hinder his strength.

"Why can't I study? Senior, don't look at me like that. I know you are very strong, but there are specialties in the arts. This is my specialty. If you don't want others to block your mind, why don't you hold back your thoughts?

It’s time to say what’s messing up in your mind. Actually, I’m also very tired from reading your thoughts.”

Lockhart was telling the truth, he was really tired.

No matter how powerful he is at reading other people's thoughts, facing a powerful wizard like Snape who is also proficient in Occlumency, it is definitely impossible to easily read them.

It always takes some effort.

But, it's worth it.

He has to leave eventually and separate from his current identity, but before that, he has to leave some friends for himself, otherwise, he will be too lonely.

Jon is a good friend, but they are not from the same world.

That kid has a very good background and a bright future that is visible to the naked eye, so he is qualified to think about things all day long and waste time on some pretentious things.

But Lockhart is different, and Snape is actually the same person as him.

Inferiority?

Narcissistic?

These two words are essentially the same.

Lockhart had heard a lot about Snape's deeds in MI0 very early on. He was a subordinate of the Dark Lord and the Dean of Hogwarts. His experience was extremely legendary, but it always felt strange.

It's not that he has never seen Snape, that silent senior who didn't look very outstanding, but he was also a very good student.

Later, Lockhart heard Jon gossiping about Snape.

Lockhart has never doubted the authenticity of these gossips. Jon's background is there. The old witch who once hoped to become the Minister of Magic, even if she retires, her connections and intelligence network are there.

.

Besides, there was no need for Jon to lie to him.

After all, Jon's original intention was to establish a good relationship between them.

Everyone is in the same camp, so of course we need to be familiar with each other, otherwise how can we carry out our work?

"Even if we are two unfamiliar people, it will not delay our work. I and other deans have never been familiar with each other."

Snape said coldly. He really couldn't resist this kind of enthusiasm, but he didn't want to accept it, so he could only respond with indifference: "It's getting late, shouldn't you go back and rest? You will go back tomorrow."

No classes?"

"Why do you have to sleep on this beautiful night? To be honest, for a wizard of your level, even if you don't sleep for one or two nights, it's not a big deal, right?"

Lockhart fumbled twice in his pocket, and actually took out two small bottles of wine.

"Would you like some? This is my favorite wine."

"I do not drink."

This was really an expected answer. Lockhart didn't put any more effort into it. He didn't drink it himself. He just put the two bottles of wine intact back into his pocket.

What a boring person.

Indifferent and rigid, it really leaves no room for people's enthusiasm to spread.

"Aren't you annoyed?"

"bother?"

Lockhart has never heard such a question from other wizards. Witches generally have a good relationship with him, while male wizards usually only speak harshly to him. He has never seen him like this.

Sentences that sound like concern.

"I'm the most popular wizard, the kind who can win awards even if I smile. Why do you feel annoyed?"

"There are many reasons, such as low self-esteem and loneliness."

Snape was very clear about Lockhart's past. As Lockhart said, they were in the same camp and always had to know something about their teammates.

Although he did not like this person, he had to admit that he was like his opposite.

He looks handsome, lives a flamboyant life, is liked and sought after by many people, and is jealous of even more people.

Unlike him, who looks ordinary and lives a cautious life, no one pursues him, no one is jealous of him, everyone is just afraid of him, just like they are afraid of some deadly animal.

Even the angel-like girl he loves the most in his life is not immune to this.

Would anyone like themselves like this?

In Lockhart's rare silence, Snape looked at his face in the mirror.

Lockhart was right, his face did look gloomy and pale, which was intimidating.

But he liked this look very much.

Full of protective power.

If you can't be liked by others, then being feared by others may not be a good choice.

Besides, he doesn't care.

There are many people in the world who fear him, and of course some of them hate him.

For example, the great savior Mr. Potter, and the group of dark wizards who were under Voldemort.

But such hatred can only be hatred.

Because he is strong enough, those people dare not do anything to him and cannot do anything to him.

But Lockhart is indeed a bit interesting.

What would this person, who is completely opposite to me but has the same inner self, think about him if he faces his own situation?

It was very rare and rare that there was a smile on his lips.

It's really getting more and more interesting here.
