The retired old demon king took advantage of the vacation time to take his little granddaughter with him, of course...... And when her best friends went on a day trip to the Demon King's lair, the patron saint who had repeatedly thwarted the Dark Lord's plots and saved the wizarding world was sitting in front of his office, looking sadly at the flaming fireplace in the room.

It wasn't until he got up this morning that he finally understood what Grindelwald was saying about "doing his best", "in a hurry" and "hurrying" to help him contact more famous wizards.

On the desk, a roll of parchment was filled with lines of flower names that looked like circles on them.

Next to this parchment is a thick stack of letters, each representing a well-known wizard who will be attending the "Hogwarts Talent Exchange" today, and if Albus Dumbledore is not mistaken, it is not surprising that at least thirty-nine "guests" will visit the Hogwarts Headmaster's office today.

As for why it is said "there is", because ......

Dumbledore looked up, glanced wistfully at the crowded office, and sighed silently in his heart.

Unlike the quiet and peaceful "Senior Lounge" of the past, the Hogwarts Headmaster's office is now like a balloon, forcibly enlarged by magic at least four or five times its size.

But even so, that spacious, cozy, semicircular living room is now full of wizards.

Each of the four Headmasters of Hogwarts gathered around a small group of wizards, most of them arguing and discussing excitedly with their resumes in their hands, or dancing to the Headmasters with their opinions.

Of course, more people gathered around Dumbledore's desk, waiting for the old man to finish his "work".

It seems that there is no way to hide, although theoretically, Hogwarts is fully qualified to complete a large-scale expansion, and it is indeed a surprise that there are so many excellent wizards, but the problem is ......

In Dumbledore's original expectation, Grindelwald could "shake" less than ten people at most in a hurry!

The old man put down the quill, pinched his eyebrows with some headaches, and said with a gentle expression, "I can roughly guess the confusion in your hearts at this time, Hogwarts' educational reform is a new attempt, even if I am ......"

"Educational Reform...... Try?"

Suddenly, a thin, dry-faced old man interrupted.

"Why don't you just say that it's a reformulation of Hogwarts' nearly millennia of education? It's ridiculous! It's ridiculous! Albus, have you lived in the Muggle world for the past year? You're going to let Hogwarts borrow some Muggle school models, and add so many new things in one go. ”

"Only the weak are accustomed to ridicule and deny ......"

On the other side, Gilderoy Lockhart shook his fingers and said with a big grin.

"Mr. Damocles, fellow recipient of the Order of Merlin, I do not agree with you. On the contrary, I am looking forward to new challenges at Hogwarts, whether it is alchemy passed down from time immemorial, or the language classes I teach now. ”

The young wizard's bright white teeth and inexplicable familiar tone were in stark contrast to the shriveled old wizard next to him who had been awarded Merlin's second-level prologue for inventing the wolf poison potion. Search

Damocles Belby's face sank, as ugly as if he had accidentally eaten a fly.

He looked at the smug wizard beside him with an unkind face, and suddenly felt an indescribable irritability in his heart, this young junior who had been forced in the crowd since just now was actually an official professor at Hogwarts?

"I'm sorry, this ...... Well, Mr. Lockhart. ”

The old wizard grimaced, squinted his eyes and looked Gilderoy Lockhart up and down, and said sharply.

"Obviously, the reason why these two courses didn't appear in the Hogwarts timetable wasn't exactly the same. And what I'm against is the ...... of those who don't know what to call it, including the language classes you teach."

"But times have changed, and today's young people need to master these basic language skills. ”

Gilderoy Lockhart responded with a smile, as if he were at a press conference.

"The language and literature course I teach is not only to help them learn how to express themselves clearly, but more importantly, to interpret those ...... Well, a wizard who is not good at words, and who uses obscure words to record the knowledge of magic. ”

Compared to a year ago, Gilderoy Lockhart has not abandoned his style.

The re-recognition of his strength and future over the past few days has, to some extent, further strengthened his confidence when he appeared in front of people - after all, as a "member of the SCP Foundation-05 Council" who could talk and laugh with Nicol Lemay and Gellert Grindelwald, he was no longer the ordinary family who was worried about being exposed at that moment.

Gilderoy Lockhart, on the other hand, is well aware of the purpose of his presence today.

Albus Dumbledore was not good at arguing with people, and as one of the few Manifest Destiny Syndicate's external spokespersons, his most important task was to stop those doubts and draw hatred and controversy to them.

"Who are you talking about who is not good at words and obscure words?!"

Damocles Belby's fingers moved, as if trying to pull his wand from his pocket.

"Ahem, interrupt, gentlemen. ”

However, before he could finish speaking, a dry and strange laugh suddenly sounded in the ears of the two.

Damocles Belby subconsciously turned his head, only to see that there was another short and fat witch in the room at some point.

She had a broad, loose-skinned face, a large mouth drooping downward, large, round eyes bulging outward, and a short sideburns with small black velvet bows, like a large pale toad that had just jumped out of the flames of the fireplace.
