Listening to Taylor's flat tone, Eric felt like his head was going to explode. He knew that this high branch was not so easy to climb!

Luke Gaunt, the newborn nobleman among the old nobles. In terms of bloodline and family glory, this is one of the most honorable people in the entire British wizarding world.

And those who really have the heart to contact Luke, and who don't feel rejected by him in the first place, can find out that Luke is different from other nobles after getting along or investigating for a while.

These places mean that the person has his own ambitions. Someone like Eric who needs a step forward really can't be more hungry for a leader like Luke.

A person with an identity, ability, and ambition to change the existing order. If such a person does not take refuge now, will he still wait for the establishment of a new order to be completed, and still prepare a pie to fall from the sky into his mouth in front of people?

He didn't even understand why there were so many salted fish among his peers, and they didn't even know that it was a very rewarding gamble to join Luke.

If you are not really your own person, then strive to become your real own person. Even if it can't be done in the end, everything that needs to be done is done, and the benefits are absolutely indispensable.

If you want to make a good radish, you have to occupy the radish pit first. But what he didn't know was that there was something special about Luke, which was really not something that everyone could find out by careful observation.

Otherwise, there would not be many people outside who still think that the new generation of reform ideas was promoted by Malfoy.

It's a pity that now, the vast majority of adults still regard this trend of thought as children's fun. So Eric Wenger is able to sense that something is wrong, not because he is smart or careful.

It's because Luke chose him. And Eric is a smart man, and one of the characteristics of a smart person is that he thinks everything very well.

Erik, for example, never felt that joining Luke's camp required nothing. Even if it doesn't have to be a physical cost, at least some tests are put through to show Luke that he has paid his loyalty.

Eric also knew that he might not be loyal to Luke's plan, he just needed Luke to give him a chance to climb up.

And when it comes to climbing up the mud with Luke versus being someone else's leg hair, Eric chooses the former.

Of course, he won't give up his dignity and kneel and lick Luke now. After all, as a child of a small aristocratic family who thinks highly of himself, he will also want to test his superiors when he chooses, to see if his superiors have the ability to make good use of him.

But now...... Faced with such a task, he dared to kneel on one knee in front of Luke and make a knightly salute, shouting, "Loyalty is unspeakable! Lord Gaunt! Eric knew that Lockhart was a careless man.

But he also knows that a guy who seems to be lacking in heart and eyes on weekdays, can be outside the rivers and lakes for so many years without any moths, he must have extraordinary courage and acumen in terms of his reputation and life.

Take 10,000 steps back. Even if it really isn't, Lockhart is real rubbish. But where would Eric dare to bet.

If you are caught, even if you get the lake over, or if you are hard and head-on, the task can be completed. But Luke's task was not to let him dispose of it cheaply, but to ask him to hand over what he had in his hands to Gemma Farley.

In other words, he must find a way to give away this thing in his hand under Lockhart's careful precautions.

Gemma Farley easily found a way to get into Hogwarts during the school year. She is neither a parent, nor does the school have the habit of returning to school to give speeches by outstanding graduates.

And Eric is only a minor nobleman after all, and he has heard of sound transmission magic tools, but he has not really seen them with his own eyes.

Not to mention...... No one will believe this thing without real evidence, that is, the diary in his hand.

How do you get this thing out? Two choices, the first of which is naturally an owl.

The second naturally goes to Hogsmeade Village. As a student, there are only two ways you can find during your normal school day.

It's not hard to guess. And if Lockhart really has a brain, then neither channel is difficult to keep an eye on.

And once this thing was discovered by Lockhart. From the contents of the diary, it can be seen that Lockhart is not a good person.

Eric has no doubts about his own good ends. His long silence made Taylor, who was drinking coffee, look up for a moment, and then calmly asked, "Is there any difficulty?" Eric restrained the solemnity on his face and smiled lightly: "No, no. With that, he turned around and left.

It seemed like a lot of difficulties, but he had to act as soon as possible. Because he doesn't move, he will be found over there.

He could feel that the tracking magic on the journal was working. I don't know if it's Luke or Taylor's interference magic, which is slowly losing its effect.

It's a bit of a difficult test, Mother Doubt. But he couldn't refuse. Rejection itself is a sign of incompetence.

But there is no idea for the time being, after all, the task came too suddenly. So he couldn't help but put himself in Luke's shoes, if it was Luke, what would he do in the face of such a situation?

"Me? I'll just give it to Professor McGonagall. Luke spread his hands with a 'this is still a question' expression.

"My credibility is quite high in the eyes of the professors. If I bring this thing out, people will believe it, and they will help me directly. Luke's tone was very ordinary, just a little puzzled, why would he still be confused about such a simple question.

Taylor frowned, but in the end just closed his eyes. Hermione rolled her eyes and played with her hair.

Obviously, although Luke is talking about business, his method is not for everyone.

Even Taylor, she felt that if she gave the diary to Snape, Snape would have to think about a lot of things before making a decision.

Children can only look at right and wrong, but adults have to consider the gains and losses when doing things. Of course, this is only a factor for reference.

Right and wrong, gain and loss are not absolute. And part of the reason why Luke dared to say such things was that Luke didn't need the protection of the professors.

If it's Taylor or Hermione, ask the professor to help report it. Then the best option should be for the professors to take this matter down completely.

Otherwise, students will still have to bear pressure from all walks of life. Don't underestimate Lockhart, the wizarding community also has brainless fans.

That's not something students can handle. Luke is different. He's still a kid though.

But the status is there, no matter how brain-dead fans are, they have to look at the gap in status before they put their heads on the face.

Of course, they didn't dare to say anything to Luke, after all, it would be equivalent to having a conflict with a considerable number of nobles.

Generally speaking, the nobles are not so angry, and in the face of such people, at most they just give a 'small' lesson.

Underestimate the mood.

"And what's Eric's best solution?" Not to be outdone, Hermione asked. She was still a little dazed, and after careful consideration, she should be able to come up with a solution, after all, the test that Luke had prepared was definitely not a dead end.

But at first glance, it does feel like it's tricky. Luke picked up the cup, took a sip of black tea, and said with a smile: "How do I know that his best solution is the one he came up with himself." ”

"It wasn't a hard test, and I don't know which one he could come up with. I don't know how good Lockhart's brain is and how many methods it can fail. "At the end of the day, it's just an escape room game.

You don't even need to go out by yourself, you just need to be able to go out in your diary. The simplest, and most dangerous, is to use the owl to write a letter to Gemma and ask her to pick her up next to Hogsmeade, and then Eric himself crosses the Forbidden Forest and connects with Gemma.

That's the path Voldemort took last year. It is also a more feasible path that has been confirmed by some of the Gauntlets who have ideas about Hogwarts after years of research.

The downside is that the requirements for the joints inside Hogwarts are a bit high. After all, crossing the Forbidden Forest is indeed not something that just anyone can do.

Or just find someone, or learn a distraction spell yourself, and put things on your body until you get home from vacation.

This kind of work can be a bit unsatisfactory. After all, Luke is asking for it as soon as possible. But it's safe and it's not far from the next holiday.

He will be able to return home soon.

"The interference spell on it can last for more than two days, and I'm really forgiving." With that, Luke shook his head and diverted the conversation away from Eric.

"After Lockhart leaves, I'll be able to become the acting professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts." As soon as the words fell.

Hermione and Taylor looked at Luke in unison, their eyes filled with disbelief.

"Acting Professor?" Taylor opened his mouth in confusion.

"They're crazy." Hermione said with emotion. In the face of the attitude of these two girls, Luke just smiled and said, "It's just a wise choice." ”……………… Although the students at Hogwarts don't take their classes very seriously, they quickly sense that something is wrong with Professor Lockhart.

The 'lively' stage plays of the past have almost disappeared. Professor Lockhart can be seen absent-minded every time he goes to class.

The stage plays were so sloppily arranged that Professor Lockhart disappeared from class a few days later.

In each lesson, students are assigned some tasks and then have them study on their own. The efficiency of this arrangement should be clear to students who have gone to school.

Even if you really want to study hard, you will inevitably be distracted in such an atmosphere. Naturally, students like to see such a scene.

The other professors were silent. It's nothing more than a matter of a few more days and a few fewer days.

This semester, their attitude towards Defence Against the Dark Arts class is that it's nothing to do with themselves. Professor McGonagall and Headmaster Dumbledore, who were in charge of administration, were already in disarray.

A few days earlier was nothing more than replacing Luke with a mess. It's just bitter that the fifth-graders who are preparing for the OWLS exam.

However, the two professors found that the fifth graders were in good shape, after all, for students who needed to take classes seriously, Lockhart's class, wasn't that pure trouble?

It's better to read a book by yourself. The students don't have to suffer from Lockhart's torment, Lockhart has time to find his diary, and the professors wait for Lockhart's reckoning with peace of mind.

We all have a bright future ahead of us. It's a pity that this kind of joy didn't last long.

Soon, a rather shocking piece of news spread throughout Hogwarts. Professor Lockhart, no, the scandal of Gilderoy Lockhart has been exposed!

A group of students rejoiced. But what he says in his book is true! The students, who didn't know the truth, couldn't help but sigh.

But the stories in the book were all stolen from someone else! Cheers rang out again among the students.

It's a pity that the fate of those people is not very good, and some people were even killed by Lockhart! The students were again in a low voice, because someone had died for it, and it was the heaviness of life.

But now! Lockhart has been reported, and he is going to be taken away for investigation and trial!

"Oh!!" The entire Hogwarts city was filled with cheers. A bastard who sells his reputation, a professor who pretends to be a pretend, a beast who kills people and sells goods!

Lockhart's ambush and at the same time give people a triple pleasure, and I have to say that in this aspect, Lockhart does a pretty good job.

Of course, there are also shortcomings. The last element is missing. Ron, standing in the crowd, shouted at Fred, who was standing in front of the bulletin board, "Fred! Who are our heroes! "The most important element of a great story, the presence of a hero.

The sword bearer of justice, the judge of evil. Fred looked excited and proud.

"Luke Gaunt! He formulated all the falsehoods, and with the help of Taylor Barbara, Hermione Granger, he got the hard evidence, and with the help of Eric Wenger, he broke through Lockhart's obstruction and investigation, and sent the evidence to the outside world and handed it over to the Wizengamot! After saying this, the students in grades 12, 34, and 4 generally cheered again.

And the higher grades, especially the seventh grade, the graduating students are keenly aware that something is wrong.

"Give it to the Wizengamot? Then why not just give it to Dumbledore? "Percy is not a fool when it comes to politics.

"And this kind of thing, it should be given to the Ministry of Magic first." But no one cared about his dripping and speculation.

Everyone just enjoyed the feeling of cheering for the heroes. But, as they cheered, the quill that had been placed on the side of the bulletin board suddenly flew up, and after violently driving the twins away, it began to write on the blank space of the paper.

George leaned forward.

"In view of Gilderoy Lockhart's actions, it has been decided after discussion among Headmaster Dumbledore and the four heads of the Academy to formally dismiss him from his position as a professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts......" Suddenly, George's eyes widened and his mouth opened, but he didn't know how to read it.

Draco couldn't wait, squeezed in, and continued, "And, it was decided that Luke Gaunt, a second-year student at Slytherin House, would be the acting Defence Against the Dark Arts professor. The announcement is hereby made. For a moment, the entire hall was silent, and the pins could be heard.
