Principal's Office,

Dumbledore pushed the door open and walked in, seeing Professor McGonagall already in the room.

Professor McGonagall sat in her chair and listened to the Sorting Hat sing in the voice of a male duck, but her stiff face and pursed lips showed that she was almost stretched to the limit.

"Minerva, why are you here?" Dumbledore said in surprise.

"I'm looking for you to report to work." Professor McGonagall wondered, "Where have you been?" ”

Usually when the dinner was over, Dumbledore would go straight back to the office, and she waited for a long time without seeing anyone...... It's nothing, but it's hard to be tormented by the noise of the Sorting Hat.

"I just went to Poppy for dental checkups." Dumbledore walked over and sat down in his chair.

"Didn't you just get a tooth last year?" Professor McGonagall was amazed, "You also said that Miss Granger and her father's healing skills were good. ”

"That's the left tooth." Dumbledore laughed, "This time it's the right tooth, it hurts a lot just now, probably because I ate too much chocolate cheese Martian bar......"

"You don't want to eat so many sweet things anymore."

"Oh...... I finally had time to go to the Muggle supermarket...... Brought back a lot of stockpiling ......"

"You're just going to eat it all?!"

"Before you know it, don't be nervous Minerva, I actually want to give you some."

“……”

Professor McGonagall couldn't help but glare at Dumbledore, was that what she meant?

"Minerva, what do you want me to report?" Dumbledore stared at Professor McGonagall.

On the walls hung portraits of the previous heads of Hogwarts, they no longer pretended to be asleep, and quietly opened their eyes to steal the sound.

"What else could there be." A wizard with a goatee and a silver and green Slytherin costume on the wall sneered:

"It must be about those two students, riding a flying car to school, Gryffindor has fallen to this point now?"

"Rest assured, Phineas, Slytherin and Gryffindor are on par in this regard." A Gryffindor-born headmaster countered.

The portraits all quarreled with each other.

Professor McGonagall ignored the bickering of the portraits and whispered:

"Professor Dumbledore, I asked Potter again, and he was pretty sure the walls of Platform 93/4 couldn't get through, but before that, the Weasleys had just entered."

"It's really something that has never happened before." Dumbledore said with a deep look in his eyes:

"It takes a lot of magic to seal that entrance, and it can't be a prank by the students."

"Or maybe Potter is lying." Phineas interjected again:

"This kind of student, if it were my time, would have been hung in the dungeon with a leather whip a long time ago."

"Thank you for the suggestion, Phineas!" Dumbledore leaned back in his chair, his hands crossed, "But I believe Potter and Weasley weren't lying. ”

"I'll look into this." Dumbledore said calmly, "Is there anything else, Minerva?" ”

"Pomona, they asked me to ask how long Lockhart is going to be here." Professor McGonagall said softly.

"Based on previous experience, I don't think he will last more than a year at most." Dumbledore couldn't help but laugh.

"A year! I probably won't be able to endure it for even a week. Professor McGonagall sighed:

"I still remember what Lockhart looked like when he was in school...... He told everyone to make the Philosopher's Stone before they graduated; To lead the Glen Quidditch team to the World Cup with LinkedIn, and to become the youngest Minister of Magic in the United Kingdom......"

"When he graduated, I breathed a sigh of relief! I didn't expect it to come back again! ”

"And the things he wrote, how many of them are true?" Professor McGonagall said.

"It may all be true, but it's not Lockhart's doing." Dumbledore lifted his glasses and said:

"Minerva, I happen to have a few friends who, after coming into contact with Lockhart, forgot some important things, and those things they forgot appeared in Lockhart's book in a grand manner.

The main character, Gongya, has also become Lockhart himself......"

"How dare he?!" Professor McGonagall was stunned, she thought Lockhart was just bragging, but she didn't expect to do such a thing?

"I'm sure that if you put Lockhart at Hogwarts, he'll be debunked sooner or later." Dumbledore said softly.

"But what can students learn from a teacher like this?" Professor McGonagall was confused.

Dumbledore turned his head to look out the window, and he said slowly:

"Students can learn a lot from such a bad teacher...... What kind of thing don't you do, what kind of person don't be. ”

"Minerva, you know? I sometimes feel that our education is too simple, only teaching students magic without properly guiding them not to go down the road of no return. ”

"Lockhart is where our education fails."

The old man stood up and said in a soft voice:

"How many miles does a person have to go to be worthy of the title of man...... These educations are sometimes more important than magic itself. ”

Professor McGonagall looked down in thought.

……

late at night

Hufflepuff Lounge.

Rove sat cross-legged on the couch in loose pajamas, closing his eyes and resting.

I don't know how long it took, but there was a small sound in my ears.

The boy opened his eyes and saw a ghost in a long skirt floating through the wall into the Hufflepuff common room.

Rove didn't greet him, and went straight to the point: "The fat monk said that you have something to find me?" ”

Helena sat down beside him and said softly, "I saw the newspaper that said you went to Nicol Lemay's secret meeting?" ”

"It's not a secret meeting, it's just Nicol's funeral." Rove knew what she was thinking, explaining:

"I asked for you, even if he is like Nicol Lemay, he can't resist the invasion of time, and he doesn't know how to resurrect you."

The long-haired and waist-high female ghost did not speak, but sat down beside the young man with her knees folded, with a pitiful look that I saw pity.

Ignoring Helena, who was gloomy, Rove thought for a moment, pointed to the portrait of Hufflepuff on the fireplace, and asked:

"I've seen a house-elf in a frame, you know?"

"Hufflepuff used to be with a house-elf." Helena rested her chin on her knee, and she said softly:

"But I haven't seen a portrait of that house-elf, and I can help you ask, and the other Hogwarts portraits will always know."

"Thank you then."

Helena, with her long hair scattered on the sofa like a green lotus blooming, raised her head and asked, "Why are you looking for it?" ”

Rove didn't answer, he had only mentioned the contents of the four paintings to Newt, and even Shirley didn't know how he could have told Helena.

Helena didn't ask too much about the matter, she continued, "When do you have time for me to take you to see my mother's grave?" ”

"Let's talk about it." Rove is like a scumbag who deliberately hangs the woman, and in his heart, Helena is also the top green tea for thousands of years.

Green tea vs scumbag...... It is also a comparable opponent, it depends on who can take advantage in the end.

"That's right." Rove put his fingers together and said, "Fat Friar reminds me to be careful if the bloody Barrow knows that he is meeting you, he will trouble me." ”

Helena bit her lip, half hatred and fear in her eyes:

"I have nothing to do with him, I will go and tell him that I will marry you, even if it is a secret marriage! Let him die this heart! ”
