Chapter XXIV
As far as Xiao Han knew from Lockhart, when Lockhart was a student, he was a man who liked to be in the limelight.
And because he constantly causes trouble to others, he is very unpopular in the whole school.
Of course, these are the things that Xiao Han analyzed from Lockhart's statement.
Because even under the control of the Imperius Curse, Lockhart still has a frowning and boastful when he talks about himself.
Xiao Han naturally didn't believe that exaggerated description.
From the point of view of a bystander, Lockhart's actions would be strange if they were not disliked.
No wonder in the original book, none of those professors had a good relationship with him, and they all hated him very much.
Using magic, he engraved a personal signature on the Quidditch pitch, each letter twenty feet long (for which he was placed on school for a week to work).
Imitate the Dark Mark and project a huge, glittering portrait of yourself into the sky.
Every year on Valentine's Day, I send myself 800 greeting cards, (the owls gathered in the auditorium make everyone have to give up breakfast because too many feathers and droppings have fallen into the porridge).
There are too many such bullshit things, even Xiao Han, the listener, has the idea that if it were himself, he would definitely smash Lockhart, let alone the teachers and students of Hogwarts at that time.
After learning about Lockhart's "glorious" history at Hogwarts, Xiao Han had a headache.
Could it be that if he went to be a teacher this time, he would have to offend all the Hogwarts professors again?
……
Since the arrival of the new Hogwarts Defence Against the Dark Arts professor, Mr. Gilderoy Lockhart, there has been an atmosphere of irritability throughout Hogwarts.
After Lockhart moved into Hogwarts Castle, he never stopped, shining everywhere and announcing his existence.
Communicate with Professor McGonagall about her personal taste in dressing, and introduce her to a variety of bright clothes, suggesting that she will look younger, more pretty, and more attractive to men.
Of course, Lockhart didn't pay attention to Professor McGonagall's grim face.
Talk to Professor Snape about chasing girls, and sell him tips on how to please girls, and how to dress to make the opposite sex more likeable.
Then, Lockhart ran away as Snape trembled and was about to draw his wand.
Talking to Professor Flitwick about the wizard's dueling skills, as well as the various applications of spells, and about his accomplishments in this area, regardless of the impatient look on Professor Flitwick's face.
Talk to Professor Sprout about the plants she encountered on her adventures and want to teach her how to cultivate them.
When Professor Sprout was overwhelmed, Lockhart couldn't stop firing at her with what he thought was the perfect smile.
While Filch, the caretaker, laboriously cleaned up and Lockhart took matters into his own hands to decorate the castle with all sorts of fancy decorations, Lockhart unconsciously appeared and promoted his shampoo brand.
Completely ignoring the Mediterranean Sea on Filch's head and the look of exasperation on his face.
He talks to Hagrid, the gamekeeper, about his experience fighting monsters, and thinks he is a professional and wants to teach him how to take care of magical beasts.
After successfully messing Hagrid with hair, Lockhart slipped away.
As a result, Lockhart has aroused the hostility of almost all Hogwarts professors.
Where he appeared, the other professors didn't want to stay longer at all, and none of them gave him a good face.
Even Professor Snape, on several occasions, couldn't resist wanting to give Lockhart a curse.
……
Lockhart, who was so annoying in the eyes of others, changed his face and became Xiao Han again after he went back at night and closed the door.
If he pretends to even sleep, it will be too tiring.
And maybe he pretended to be like Lockhart.
As for why Xiao Han made everyone disgusted with himself?
On the one hand, it will facilitate his future actions at Hogwarts.
Without anyone else to disturb him, he would have more time to acquire more magical knowledge.
On the other hand, he also took advantage of this time to familiarize himself with the entire Hogwarts school.
Although Xiao Han had visited Hogwarts Castle under the leadership of Professor McGonagall before, after all, it was just a visit, and the specific situation inside the castle was still not very familiar.
Lockhart, on the other hand, was once a student of Hogwarts, so it is impossible to say that he is not familiar with Hogwarts.
The main one is the Hogwarts library.
Under Xiao Han's deliberate friendship, the librarian, Mrs. Pinns, can be said to be the only person among all the Hogwarts faculty and staff who still has a good impression of Lockhart, played by Xiao Han.
After all, Lockhart's skin is still good, and Mrs. Pince's age just falls within Lockhart's sphere of influence.
Of course, Mrs. Pince would not be interested in Lockhart, but as long as she had a more favorable impression, it would be much easier for Xiao Han to borrow books from the library in the future.
……
Time flies, and while Xiao Han is busy getting acquainted with the Hogwarts environment, a new school year quietly arrives.
As the students arrived, the whole school began to come alive.
Sitting in his seat, Xiao Han looked with interest at the freshmen who were undergoing the sorting ceremony below.
Recently, he played Lockhart, who basically went to the library, flipped through the books he thought was useful, and used Yasha Baoyu to secretly record the knowledge in the books.
Of course, such a studious style did not suit Lockhart's identity, which he borrowed from Mrs. Pince in the name of getting inspiration for a new book.
And Xiao Han didn't need to take the book out, every time he got the book, he put it back after quickly analyzing and recording the book.
Others just think that he is really looking for information, and does not attract special attention from others.
Every night when I go back to the office, I copy the books from the source point.
After Xiao Han was about to save up, he took the time to bring these books back to Cedros.
Recently, he had almost finished recording the books in the general area, and was ready to start reaching out to the forbidden area.
However, the arrival of the new students interrupted Xiao Han's act of stealing books.
As the new Defence Against the Dark Arts professor, he must appear at the sorting ceremony for the new school year.
Headmaster Dumbledore introduces him to all the students at Hogwarts and makes him known to all the students.
The sorting ceremony went off without incident, with the only surprise being the absence of the Savior Harry Potter and his henchman Ron Weasley.
This has caused a lot of discussion.
Professor McGonagall was a little worried that her two students didn't make it to the Hogwarts Express.
At the sorting ceremony in the evening, Lockhart, played by Xiao Han, did not do anything out of the ordinary.
In addition to introducing him, the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, he got up and smiled, greeted the students, and received a cheer of excitement from the little fan girl, and then quietly played a beautiful man in his seat.
However, after the sorting ceremony, Xiao Han saw Professor McGonagall leave in a hurry, and then Headmaster Dumbledore got up to follow.
Xiao Han knew that if nothing else, it must be Harry and Ron, who drove a flying car to the death and crashed into the precious beating willow in the school.
Tomorrow at breakfast, there will definitely be another good show.
