The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

In the history of Hogwarts, there is a precedent for hiring professors from Azka's class, but on the first day of school, he was taken away by the Ministry of Magic without even signing a contract. Lockhart still got into the sedan chair as an older girl - —First time.

Lockhart was taken away by the Ministry of Magic officials with a shocked look on his face. He spoke several times to say something, but in the end he couldn't say anything: He couldn't say that it was actually not me who drove the car, but that I had tampered with it. The memories of two little wizards, right?

After taking Lockhart away, Professor McGonagall looked at Harry and Ron and said, "Sit down." Professor McGonagall pointed to the chairs in the room and asked them to sit down first - even in Snape's office. There are several chairs arranged.

"Tell me what happened?" Professor McGonagall's glasses flashed with an ominous light. Dumbledore and Snape stood aside without saying a word. Dumbledore's expression was extremely serious, although Snape It was still a dead face, but there was still a faint emotion of schadenfreude revealed.

"It's the dividing wall at King's Cross Station, it's-"

"Professor McGonagall, we have no other option, we can't get on the train."

The two scrambled to explain to Professor McGonagall.

"So why don't you send a letter? Potter, you have an owl, right? Even if you don't do anything, just wait for Mr. and Mrs. Weasley to come back?" Professor McGonagall said coldly.

Ron and Harry were stunned for a moment. Indeed, the two solutions given by Professor McGonagall are much more reliable than driving directly there.

"What's outrageous is that you blindly followed Lockhart without any ability to think independently," said Professor McGonagall.

Harry froze, and the expression on Dumbledore's side made him sit on pins and needles. He would rather Dumbledore yell at them angrily, maybe even slap him in the face. These actions are much better than just watching them quietly.

"Tell me about the process." Dumbledore stared at him and Ron for a while, his expression becoming more and more serious, and finally he spoke after a period of silence.

Harry told Dumbledore everything he remembered like he was pouring beans out of a bamboo tube.

After finishing speaking, he collapsed on the stool. Ron next to him was desperate. He was ready to pack his bags and go home.

"Are we going to be fired?"

"Not today. But next time something like this happens, it won't necessarily happen. Professor Lockhart must bear the main responsibility. He failed to fulfill the obligations of an adult wizard, but you must also realize your mistakes." Deng Bullido rubbed his eyes and decided the fate of Harry and Ron: a serious warning, notifying parents, no points deduction, and no confinement.

Snape's expression now was as if he had been asked by his boss to work overtime for free during the holidays.

"Professor Dumbledore! Not only did they ignore the law, they also broke-"

Dumbledore shook his head, "It's not their fault. A wrong example sometimes makes people follow blindly. Many times adult wizards, including me, make such mistakes."

He looked at Harry, "Flawed people can also be your teachers, but you can still learn a lot from them, such as what kind of things not to do and what kind of people not to be."

After saying this, he left Snape's office.

He enthusiastically invited Snape to taste a dessert with him. Snape showed an extremely unwilling expression. Although he was extremely reluctant, he was pulled out of the office by Dumbledore.

After Snape and Dumbledore left, Professor McGonagall's expression was no longer so stern. She and Harry chatted about today's sorting, and also provided them with a plate of sandwiches and a jug of pumpkin juice. After settling the two of them, Professor McGonagall left.

Of course, with the tacit cooperation of several people, Gryffindor House was not deducted a few points at the opening ceremony.

…

This year's Sorting Ceremony was strange, with interruptions and absent-mindedness prevalent.

Before the Sorting Ceremony, students throughout the school were discussing "flying cars", especially when the little wizards discovered that Harry and Ron did not appear at the Gryffindor table. The two flew to the school in a car.

When the opening banquet started, the staff table seemed a little sparse - Snape, the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor and Filch were not there, and Professor McGonagall and Dumbledore were also a little absent-minded. Later, these two people were even more absent. He left directly.

Almost no one cares about the results of the branching. It’s not like the Immortal Sect is competing for disciples with potential to cultivate immortality. Little wizards such as the “Ancient Holy Body” and the “Double Eyed One” will not appear in the British magic world. This has caused the deans of the four major colleges to of looting. However, when Peggy was assigned to Ravenclaw, the little wizards in Ravenclaw still gave her warm applause: the more beautiful girls, the better.

Peggy's sorting process was as tangled as her choice of wand. The Sorting Hat thought for five minutes before sorting her into Ravenclaw.

The next day, everyone was shocked to learn that Professor Lockhart was taken away by the Ministry of Magic! And the news also made the front page of the Daily Prophet.

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and Professor Lockhart became the center of a whirlpool of public opinion - not only within the school, but also outside the school. As the parties involved, Harry and Ron were naturally asked again and again by the curious little wizards. Ron was a little shy at first and stuttered with his story.

But after one morning, the adventure of him, Harry and Professor Lockhart had a strong feeling of "The Adventures of Hal Roger". If it weren't for a yelling letter from Mrs. Weasley at lunch, Ron might have become a good storyteller or writer in the future.

In the next few days, Professor Lockhart's news made headlines every day. This way of making headlines was something he had never expected.

The Ministry of Magic also dealt with the matter very neatly: the matters committed on Wednesday were tried on Friday, without any sloppiness.

He didn't really send Lockhart in. After all, he was a professor at Hogwarts and a best-selling author. He just fined Lockhart a full three thousand gold galleons as compensation, but the money was handed over to the front line. By the time the amnestics got their hands on it, there were only a hundred galleons left.

Lockhart bled violently, but he was in the headlines for three days in a row. Three thousand galleons bought three days of headlines. Only Lockhart himself knows whether it was worth it - Arthur won the "Daily Prophet" News of a trip to Egypt with the Golden Galleons Prize also made headlines. The grand prize included 700 Golden Galleons.

No matter what, Lockhart still missed out on the blessing of living in a single room in Azkaban, with food and accommodation provided by the British Ministry of Magic. Tom felt a little regretful when he found out. After all, he was a kind-hearted child. He just wanted to find a job for his professor that would provide him with food and shelter without having to work, so that he could concentrate on writing.

But it backfired.
