Chapter 21 Successful Employment
After seeing the recruitment advertisement for a Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher advertised in the Daily Prophet, Xiao Han was excited in his heart.
Originally, he thought that Lockhart at this time was already employed as a professor at Hogwarts.
However, he was using the Imperius Curse to control Lockhart, and after some questioning, he learned that Lockhart had not been hired as a teacher at Hogwarts at all.
I hadn't even thought about being a teacher at Hogwarts.
This was really unexpected.
Later, Xiao Han thought about it carefully, too, if Lockhart had really accepted the position of Hogwarts Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher.
With his sassy character, must he be known to everyone?
But since they have already done it, they can only make mistakes.
For a period of time after that, Xiao Han continued to ask Lockhart about various identity details, and learned about Lockhart's usual habitual actions, hobbies, clothes, ideological ambitions, etc.
In order to better disguise, Xiao Han also bought some books on acting and studied them carefully, so as to better play the role of Lockhart.
However, not long after disguising Lockhart, Xiao Han regretted it.
It's hard to imagine that as a big man, Lockhart's favorite color is lilac, such a riotous color.
The pajamas in the wardrobe are either lilac or girly pink.
Even the robes worn outside are also in a variety of colors, and they are all picked in bright directions.
However, in order to be able to better dress up with makeup, Lockhart is quite hard.
For the sake of his blond wavy hair, Lockhart also deliberately researched and invented shampoo to make it shinier and shinier.
For that perfect toothy smile, the former Lockhart didn't know how many times he practiced behind his back, and now Xiao Han has suffered a lot in this regard.
……
Elegantly wiped the lipstick marks on his face with a red handkerchief, Xiao Han squeezed out of the crowd with palpitations.
You have to keep a perfect toothy smile on your face, and you have to greet the fans around you warmly.
A group of forty or fifty-year-old aunts surrounded Xiao Han with a face full of fanaticism, not letting him go, the face was thick, and the foundation that could fall off three taels after walking was really terrifying.
He also shouted "Lockhart, I love you, I am your most loyal book lover!" ”
"Lockhart, I adore you so much, I'm going to marry you!"
slogans like that.
Some of them also relied on their big shoulders and waist to have great strength, and tried to kiss him forcibly, but fortunately, Xiao Han resisted vigorously and finally kept his chastity.
Xiao Han responded enthusiastically to the fans on the surface, and silently shed tears in his heart.
Fortunately, he had just seen a Hogwarts job advertisement in the Daily Prophet, and this dire day was finally coming to an end.
……
"Mr. Lockhart, welcome back to Hogwarts, and I'm glad you're willing to take up the role of Professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts."
Headmaster Dumbledore looked at the middle-aged wizard in front of him, who was dressed in a bag and smiling constantly, and although he was a little reluctant, he agreed to his application.
After all, there are some people who can't be hired this year.
Because of Professor Quirrell last year, only Gilderoy Lockhart applied for the position of Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts this year.
Dumbledore knew Gilderoy Lockhart, who was famous in the wizarding world, and was not a man worthy of the name.
Although the main characters of Lockhart's writings were Gilderoy Lockhart, Dumbledore knew that they were not.
Coincidentally, there were two main characters in the story who were none other than his friends Dumbledore, who had happened to have heard them tell about their adventures.
Moreover, both of his friends had been attacked by the Oblivion Charm in previous years.
The wizards who attacked them had a very deep knowledge of the Oblivion Charm, and the two who were attacked completely forgot about their respective adventures, and they were irreparable.
And there are memories of the rest, but they are intact.
Even Dumbledore himself did not have the confidence to reach this level in the Oblivion Charm.
It is clear that it must have been Gilderoy Lockhart who attacked them.
From this, it can be seen that the experiences in Lockhart's other writings are probably stolen by this means.
Although he didn't believe in Lockhart's character, Dumbledore now had no more options.
And from Lockhart's attainments in the Oblivion Charm, it can be seen that Lockhart's strength is definitely not weak.
Dumbledore knew that Lockhart was a very smart student when he was at school.
Although it has shortcomings such as being in the limelight, being clever, and being lazy, the essence is not bad, and the studies are not bad.
After graduating for so many years, his current strength should be enough to be qualified to teach the Defence Against the Dark Arts course.
Dumbledore thought so.
But Dumbledore didn't know that he had really lost his eyes this time.
In the original book, he didn't know at first what a straw person Gilderoy Lockhart was.
After all, Lockhart also graduated from Hogwarts Ravenclaw House, and his academic performance is also good.
But Lockhart now, in fact, except for the oblivion charm that is superb, the other spells, because of years of rustiness, are not much stronger than the squib.
When Lockhart revealed his straw bale nature, Dumbledore was also helpless, after all, the appointments were all appointed, and Lockhart couldn't be fired immediately, then there really would be no one to teach this class.
Like Professor McGonagall, who had never liked Lockhart, she once asked Dumbledore how the students could learn from this vain fame seeker.
Dumbledore could only pretend to be serious, "You can learn a lot from a bad teacher, about what not to do, not to be a person." ”
I can only say that there is a moment of silence for the students.
That's an afterword.
The current Dumbledore has not yet seen the essence of Lockhart's straw bale, so he naturally agrees to Lockhart's application.
Of course, the current Lockhart was pretended by Xiao Han, and this time Headmaster Dumbledore was once again blind.
And Xiao Han, although he is in the magic of the Harry Potter world, in general, his attainments are not deep.
But he only needs to teach the others, and it is always more useful than in the original book, Lockhart, who only allows students to read his writings in each class.
"It's a great honor to be a Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts, teaching magic to the Savior Harry Potter, it's something I've always dreamed of."
Xiao Han pretended to be honored.
After all, it is necessary for Lockhart, a big celebrity who loves vanity, to leave his thriving career behind and run to become a teacher at Hogwarts.
The title of being the teacher of the savior is undoubtedly the most appropriate.
Even the original Lockhart couldn't resist this temptation.
After asking Lockhart to prepare the materials he needed for Defence Against the Dark Arts class, Dumbledore asked Lockhart to go back.
Looking at Lockhart's distant figure, Dumbledore suddenly felt very uneasy, always feeling that something bad was about to happen.
"Now that Voldemort is back in the works, it seems that the next school year is going to be eventful again, so I hope Harry and they can grow up soon."
Facing the shadow of Voldemort, Dumbledore was old after all, and he began to feel a little powerless.
He knew that he would definitely face more dangers in the future, but so far, Dumbledore had not discovered that there was anyone in the wizarding world who could take his place and fight to protect the wizarding world.
Harry was one of his targets, and although it was a little unbearable, Dumbledore still decided to speed up Harry's training.
Now that Voldemort has reappeared, there is not much time left for them.
