Lockhart stared at Harry for several minutes before he finally recognized the famous savior, and then he suddenly jumped to his feet and shouted happily.

"Oh, Merlin's beard, isn't this Harry Potter?"

Even though he had heard it many times, Harry's heart tightened.

The crowd in front of him took the initiative to get out of the way, and at the same time they were all staring at him, whispering excitedly.

He saw the famous Lockhart rush over, grab his arm tightly, and pull himself to the front of the crowd, and the audience burst into applause.

Harry felt a fever on his face, which must be very red, and Lockhart next to him held his hand and told the photographer from the Daily Prophet to hurry up and take a picture.

The short wizard frantically pressed the shutter again and again, framing the scene in front of him in the camera, and puffs of purple smoke drifted onto the Weasleys who were standing nearby, choking them and coughing.

"What a beautiful smile, Harry!" Lockhart smiled and wrapped his arms around Harry's shoulders, showing off his shiny white teeth, "We can both be on the front page of the Daily Prophet together tomorrow." ”

Clark stood on the second floor, and saw the scene clearly, which made it take him more effort to keep from laughing.

Harry didn't see Clark, but he was just as uncomfortable being stared at by the people around him like monkeys in a zoo. So he tried to struggle, but he couldn't break free from Lockhart's men.

And when Lockhart finally let go of Harry's hand, he felt like his fingers were going numb. Harry tried to slip back to the Weasleys, but Lockhart didn't seem to be going to let him go, still putting an arm around his shoulder, holding him firmly by his side.

"Ladies and gentlemen!" Maybe it was today's sudden situation that made Lockhart excited, or maybe the interview just now made him feel sulky in his heart, anyway, at this time he was like an actor standing on the stage, waving his hands vigorously and shouting to make everyone quiet.

"What an extraordinary moment for me to take this wonderful occasion to announce a small matter that I have been holding back for some days and have not said."

Of the people present, Clark was probably the only one who could guess what he was trying to say.

To be honest, he was still quite critical of Dumbledore's decision, after all, as a course for the Dark Arts, Defense Against the Dark Arts is still very important at Hogwarts.

Even though there were rumors that Voldemort had placed a curse on the position, which meant that each class of teachers would not stay long, that was not why Dumbledore had recruited Lockhart as a Defence Against the Dark Arts professor.

It can be seen from the original book that this is a beautiful embroidered pillow, maybe he can be a good star, but he is definitely not a teacher who teaches and educates.

If this choice was made just to warn Harry not to indulge in a false reputation, then Dumbledore's behavior was indeed a bit too irresponsible.

Now he seems to have put all his attention on the savior, and the original prophecy has become his lifeline, which has caused him to ignore the other students.

"Perhaps Dumbledore, who is getting older and older, has also begun to be on the verge of spiritual collapse under the influence of chaos magic, and has fallen into a more paranoid situation." Clark pondered in his heart, "At his age, he still maintains such a powerful magic power, his own burden will only get heavier and heavier, and if he is not careful, he may even slide into the abyss and become a veritable White Lord." ”

Regardless of what Clark was thinking, Lockhart was still downstairs continuing his performance.

"When young Harry walked into the Blotted Bookstore today, he just wanted to buy my autobiography, and I was willing to give it to him for free on the spot, along with my entire book."

There was another round of applause.

"But he doesn't know." Lockhart continued, shaking Harry so that his glasses slipped to the tip of his nose, "He's going to get something more valuable than the clumsy 'Enchanted Me', and in fact he's going to get a real enchanted me." Yes, ladies and gentlemen. I am delighted and proud to announce that this September, I will be a Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. ”

As soon as the news broke, the crowd once again burst into an enthusiastic response, applauding and cheering, as these people also included Hogwarts students and their parents.

There are even some Lockhart's mom fans who say to their children: "Great! Baby, you're lucky to have Lockhart as your teacher, and when the time comes, do well at school and try to get a few more autographed photos. ”

Of course, Clark was also disturbed by this huge movement, and he glanced at Lockhart deeply, the special fluctuations with demagogic characteristics in the air were like watching patterns in his palm in the eyes of his new [Psychic Warlock].

Yes, if he had a big opinion about Dumbledore's appointment before, then today, after officially contacting Lockhart, he became quite critical of Dumbledore's decision.

Because Clark found that he was still affected by the prejudice of the original book, and he was a little preconceived. Or rather, Rowling is a Muggle, she knows the magic of a hammer!

Just like Quirrell last semester, Gilderoy Lockhart, who graduated from Ravenclaw with good grades, is no less simple.

Although he seems to be an embroidered pillow and only rhetoric, when interviewing him, Clark soon discovers that several of his psychic abilities have not worked on him.

At that time, he originally wanted to use his psychic ability to extract a little secret information from Lockhart's mouth, but as a result, whether it was the level 1 [Charm Human], [Suppress Morale], or Level 2 [Detect Thoughts], it all failed in Lockhart's body.

No, it can't be said to be completely ineffective, after all, Clark also sensed some of Lockhart's thoughts later, but it was these detected information that made Clark more sure that the so-called big liar in the original book was definitely not simple in the real wizarding world.

In fact, this is also normal, the original book is a fairy tale written for children after all, and the supporting characters in it are more face-painted symbols. Like Lockhart, he may have acted as a harlequin to warn children not to lie and indulge in false reputations.

But anyone who has social experience knows that a person can't just be a simple side!
