HP Approaches the Magical World

"This time, Mr. Lockhart came to interview for the position of professor of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, but I think, according to the requirements, we may need to do some magic ability tests first."

Dumbledore rose from behind his desk and waved his wand.

The space of the principal's office suddenly became much larger, almost the size of a dueling platform.

Apparently in preparation for Lockhart's magic interview.

"Then, the content of this assessment is a magic contest. Of course, it's not me, but Professor Snape."

Dumbledore said a joke that wasn't very funny, and only Jon laughed in agreement.

"Go up, Mr. Lockhart, Professor Snape."

Dumbledore's politeness today was a little too much. Jon had never seen Dumbledore speak in such an extremely polite and awkward tone, and Snape also showed a surprised look on his face.

It was obvious that he had begun to get used to it.

"Actually, Professor Snape has always wanted to be the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, so Mr. Lockhart, you will face a very powerful opponent."

After Dumbledore finished speaking, Jon and Lockhart looked at each other. His meaning was very clear, that is, to let Lockhart ask for more blessings.

Although Jon is not very clear about Snape's strength, he still knows a thing or two, at least much stronger than Lockhart.

To be highly appreciated by Helga, no matter how you think about it, it won't be bad.

But relatively speaking, Lockhart is much worse. Although his actual combat ability is considered good, he is not suitable for this kind of open and honest duel.

It is difficult for a person who usually wins by laying cold arrows or using black hands to quickly adapt to one-on-one frontal battles.

If Jon were Lockhart, he would probably choose to give up at this time. He knew very well that Snape would not be successful as a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, and Dumbledore would not agree to Snape becoming Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts.

So no matter how you fight, Lockhart will succeed in the end.

But it is obvious that Jon can't say this now, he is standing beside Dumbledore, and if he says this, it means to tear down Dumbledore face to face.

He would not be so stupid.

And after he and Lockhart looked at each other, the latter stepped onto the dueling ring.

The first thing to teach students in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class is their defense ability. Under the attack of black magic, they can survive successfully to get the chance to fight back.

Therefore, what they have to face is how to resist each other's attacks.

Two wizards stood on the dueling platform, one on the left and the other on the right, and neither of them made the first move.

They were waiting for Dumbledore's order to begin.

And as Dumbledore nodded, the atmosphere on the field suddenly became anxious.

Snape's magical strength was undoubtedly strong enough to be seen by the naked eye. Straws of magic flew out of his wand, and were barely resisted by Lockhart.

Although Jon's strength has not yet reached the level where he can arbitrarily intervene in such a battle, his eyesight is enough to judge such a battle.

From the very beginning, Snape was unilaterally crushing Lockhart.

Jon glanced at Dumbledore standing beside him, the headmaster who became the referee temporarily, the old god was watching the duel in the field, silently not speaking.

But even if he didn't speak, Jon could tell that there was admiration for Lockhart in his eyes.

What's there to admire?

Shouldn't it be to admire Snape's powerful combat ability?

The battle on the field ended quickly, and after Snape cut Lockhart's collar with the Shadowless Curse, the battle was declared over.

Dumbledore waved his wand and put away the dueling platform, and the headmaster's office returned to its previous size.

"A very exciting fight."

He nodded at Snape, then looked at Lockhart.

"But if you want to become a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, I think, Mr. Lockhart, you should be a little weaker."

"What?"

Lockhart made a sound in doubt, but Snape, who stood next to him and came down with him, had no expression on his face, as if he had already known the result.

"I think what the headmaster said is very clear," the headmaster of Slytherin explained for Dumbledore, "You need to be weaker, preferably to the point where you don't know anything. .”

This is really an unacceptable request.

Jon has actually guessed what Dumbledore meant, but these words can only be said by two people when there are no outsiders, and they must not be said now.

"I think you understand what I mean." Dumbledore blinked and looked at Lockhart. "If you don't understand, I think you can think about it here."

"Then can I leave now?"

Snape looked at Dumbledore, tucking his wand into his robes.

Anyway, he is just a tool man, and a tool man needs to use it for a long time, and he can't use it for everything.

Besides - Snape pointed to Jon - isn't there another ready-made tool man?

"Also."

After Snape flirted with himself, Dumbledore nodded: "You can leave first, if there is anything, we will talk about it in detail."

I hope not.

Snape gave Lockhart a cold look, then turned his head and left the headmaster's office.

"Then Mr. Lockhart, we can now say something about the position."

Lockhart was confused by Dumbledore. If he behaved like this, he could still be the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, so what was the purpose of those assessments just now?

"Probably to make you feel better."

Jon's voice sounded quietly in Lockhart's ear: "Didn't Dumbledore just say that? You need to be weaker."

"But what's the benefit of this? As a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, I need to teach the students of the whole school. My performance is not good. It is not a good thing for the students of the whole school."

"Oh, of course not."

Dumbledore shook his head.

"Jon strongly recommended you to me, saying that you are very suitable for this candidate. I thought you could meet this requirement."

"This... of course it can be done," Lockhart said tentatively, "It's just to show my own inadequacy, I don't care about my reputation, and I even came here for this purpose, but I don't I don't think it's a good thing to delay the learning of all students."
