“…… At this critical moment, I broke free from the evil magic that the female ghost had placed on me, and with a wave of my wand, I released a very powerful, powerful flash expulsion spell, which was a variant of the flash charm, and the blinding light was like the scorching midday sun, lighting up between my staff......"

Lockhart waved his wand as he read the words from "Breaking with the Female Ghost", but compared to the description, the tip of his wand only lit up with a very faint white light.

Fortunately, Hermione was very cooperative, and immediately pretended to be frightened, screamed, and ran off the podium, and Clark also woke up from the confusion in time.

"Yes, that's how I was, relying on a spell to exorcise the female ghost (the Banshee) in the Bandon Valley, and thus saving the honest Muggle boy Jack. Well, thanks Miss Granger and Mr. Prewitt, I think it's time for you to go to lunch. ”

Lockhart looked at the little wizard in the audience and listened to the bell ringing in his ears, ending the Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

The little wizards rushed out of the classroom, they didn't have classes in the afternoon, they just wanted to hurry up and finish their lunch, and then rush back to the lounge to take a good nap.

But Clark stayed last, and when all the young wizards were gone, he walked to the podium with Hermione, "Professor Lockhart, we have something for you. ”

Lockhart stopped packing up and looked up at them, "Ah, it's Clark, I have to say, you did a great job today, do you want my autographed photo?" ”

He smiled widely, and as he prepared to pull out his autographed photo.

Clark asked for him, of course, he would not refuse, and after taking the signed photo, he said, "Professor, this is the case, several of our students are going to work together to create a Hogwarts School Journal." ”

"Ahh That was wonderful," Lockhart began his reminiscences again, "Actually, when I was younger, I used to ......."

Clark hurriedly interrupted him, "Professor, we came to you today to hope that you could be our instructor and help us get this magazine up and running. ”

His words made Lockhart stunned for a moment, "Me? Being an instructor? Hahaha, that's embarrassing. ”

"We sincerely invite you to help us." Hermione emphasized.

Clark saw a heartfelt look on Lockhart's face, so he struck while the iron was hot, and said with a pretended grievance.

"Of course, I know that we don't have much money, and we don't invest much, just a small fight, Professor Lockhart, you don't like us, and it's understandable......"

When Lockhart heard this, he hurriedly denied it: "No, no, I didn't mean that, it's not because of money, how can I value money." ”

"Great!" Clark grabbed Lockhart's hand and shook it vigorously, "Since you have agreed to be the editor-in-chief of this magazine, Professor, then we can rest assured." ”

Lockhart looked at them with a confused expression, when did he agree, "No, I ......"

"Yes, it's so nice to be a professor, I adore you so much!"

Hermione sang and sang on the side, lulling Lockhart to a great show, and then Clark continued, "One more thing, our magazine has just started, and there is no ......"

"Money?" Lockhart looked embarrassed, "This...... Teacher, I don't have any money now......"

"No, no," Clark said quickly, "There is no need to teach you to pay, we have temporarily obtained some support from the Daily Prophet, and we don't need to spend much money, just your salary as editor-in-chief ......"

Looking at Clark and Hermione, who were embarrassed, Lockhart waved his hand freely, "I thought it was, the salary was not needed, after all, you are only students, what money can you have." ”

Getting the answer he wanted, Clark laughed happily.

"That's great, Professor, we'll definitely put your name on the cover as editor-in-chief!"

Clark and Hermione rushed out of the classroom, and Lockhart shouted behind them, "Don't forget to pick me a nice picture." ”

The two ran down several floors in a row until they were sure Lockhart couldn't hear their conversation.

"Shall we lie to Professor Lockhart like that?" Hermione looked at Clark, "You know, once the magazine starts to roll out subscriptions, Professor He only needs to look at it and know that we're not short of money." ”

"It's just that you have too little experience."

Clark said as he walked.

"Yes, we are not short of money, even if the magazine is short of money, I can afford to pay Lockhart enough salary. But that's not how it works, you know, you have to deal with different people, you have to use different methods.

People like Professor Lockhart like to be self-centered, don't look at what he says now, when we really run the school magazine well, he will definitely not be satisfied with being a rubber stamp.

If we give him good treatment at the beginning, then he will definitely have to inch in the future, want more benefits, and meddle in the affairs of the school magazine, and then we will be passive. ”

"So you're going to do your best to squeeze his interests now," Hermione immediately began to draw inferences, "and then bargain with him when he has other ideas?" ”

Clark nodded, "Yes, you're smart." ”

Hermione looked up proudly, "That's, looking at Professor Lockhart's class, the stories in his book must be full of moisture, as long as we gather evidence, we won't have to worry about the tools to beat him." ”

Clark laughed, "I don't have to worry about you, I'll make my own arrangements when the time comes, so you'd better get your part of the board first." ”

The two walked to the Great Hall and sat down at the long Gryffindor table, immediately filled with food.

Clark cut the steak with a knife and fork and asked Hermione, "By the way, do we have anything else to do for the afternoon?" ”

Hermione ate the tomato bolognese pasta on her plate and recalled, "It seems that there was a training session for the Quidditch team in the afternoon, it was our Gryffindor, George said let's go over, and the first sports section introduced our own team." ”

After lunch, the two went back to the dormitory to rest for a while, and waited until four o'clock, when the sun was not so hot, before leaving the castle, stepping on the green grass, and walking towards the Quidditch pitch.

When the two of them got there, the Gryffindor players were coming out of the locker room.

Harry saw Ron sitting in the stands, as well as Clark and Hermione, who had just arrived, and waved to greet them.

"Haven't you finished practicing?" Ron asked, incredulous.

"It's not even started," said Hallilo grumblingly, "Wood has given us a new tactic. ”

Then, he mounted his broomstick, kicked the ground with his foot, and flew with a whoosh.
