Chapter 51: Dumbledore: Do You Want to Leave When You're Here?
In a way, Lockhart is the same as his predecessor, Quirrell...... They all belong to actors with superb acting skills.
The difference is that Quirrell is a ruthless man who can infiltrate Gringotts and has a fragment of the legendary card "Dark Lord" on the back of his head, but he deliberately pretends to be weak.
Lockhart is a weak chicken, relying on other people's stories to package himself and pretend to be strong.
Quirrell is more like using a shoebox as a case, looking at the crotch pull, but inside is a high-performance computer; Lockhart is a computer with a gorgeous appearance, but inside it is a graphics card that has been mining at full capacity for two years.
The two are completely polar.
However, Lockhart couldn't even deal with a group of elves, and was grabbed by the legs and hung from a chandelier in the ceiling...... It is so weak that it is indeed beyond Rove's psychological estimates.
It seems that Lockhart is not only a mining card, but also a washed mining card.
The students were all standing by the windows, looking at Lockhart in disbelief, and there were many more young wizards passing by watching the teaching accident, and even some taking pictures.
Under the shaking of the elf, the chandelier swayed from side to side, clanged, and finally could not support it, and smashed down, making a loud bang.
Lockhart also fell to the ground, his head first touching the ground, and then his legs facing the sky, and he finally fell to the ground, his head tilted, and the whole person fainted instantly.
Rove opened the door and walked into the classroom, and the elves were coming towards him, but he snapped his fingers, and a large jet of water flew towards him in the bathroom not far away.
The magic from the horse-shaped water monster allows Rove to easily control the flow of water in the vicinity.
"The Prison of the Blue Waves!"
The boy raised his arm, and the jet of water flew towards the elf, eventually turning into a crystal clear ball of water, enveloping them all.
The onlookers applauded desperately, and some students in the crowd shouted:
"Scamander, come and be our Defence Against the Dark Arts professor."
Rove was shocked, who wanted to harm him, he used such vicious means!
……
……
Lockhart, who had passed out, was taken to the school hospital again.
Seeing him for the third time in a week of school, Madam Pomfrey had seen any patient, even if she was well-informed...... It's also a little unbearable.
Why don't you live in the school hospital?!
Madam Pomfrey even had some suspicions that Lockhart Mo didn't like herself, so she deliberately went to the hospital like this.
Boy, you've managed to get my mother's attention!
But when he woke up, the first thing Lockhart did was crying and shouting that he was going to resign and leave Hogwarts immediately.
Madam Pomfrey had no choice but to escalate the matter to the Headmaster.
night
Professor Dumbledore came to the hospital alone, and when he saw Madam Pomfrey busy in the hallway, he said hello:
"Poppy, how's Lockhart?"
"I've been crying all afternoon and just given him a mild sedative, hoping to calm him down." Madam Pomfrey was curious:
"Dumbledore, what is going on? Why is Lockhart hospitalized again? When I asked him why, he wouldn't say. ”
"This time it was a teaching accident, and Professor Lockhart didn't control the elf he brought with him and was attacked in class." Dumbledore explained.
"Merlin!" Madam Pomfrey covered her mouth and said, "Why not cancel such a dangerous class?"
Albus, since this course is so difficult to find a teacher, and it's dangerous, why don't you change it to medical care......"
Madam Pomfrey saw the dagger and brought up this plan again, Dumbledore had a headache, and hurriedly said: "I'll think about it, I'll go see Lockhart first." ”
The Headmaster pushed the door open and entered, but Madam Pomfrey still kept smacking her lips, complaining that Defense Against the Dark Arts was too dangerous and Lockhart was too incompetent as a professor.
Dumbledore walked into the room, he looked at the hospital bed, his face was calm, and said in a deep voice, "Professor Lockhart, are you alright?" ”
Lockhart is lying in a hospital bed, stealing chocolates from fans while writing letters back to his avid fans, even though he is injured.
Lockhart thought that Madam Pomfrey was coming, so he hurriedly stuffed the chocolate into the quilt, and when he saw that it was the headmaster, he sat up straight, covered his bruised face, and said loudly:
"Professor Dumbledore, I'm resigning."
"Absolutely." Dumbledore approached the hospital bed, he waved his wand and conjured a chair, and after the headmaster sat down, he said softly:
"I also received your resignation letter."
"Professor Lockhart, I fully agree with your resignation." Dumbledore pulled the letter out of his bosom, and he smiled, "I'm going to hold an improvised school board meeting in the afternoon to discuss this matter at the meeting.
Since you are so resolute, we have to settle the issue of compensation. ”
"Reparations? For me? Lockhart was stunned for a few seconds, but after thinking about it, it was also very reasonable, after all, he was injured at work, and the school should compensate him.
I didn't expect that in terms of humanistic care, Hogwarts did a good job.
"No, no...... It's you who pay the school. Dumbledore leaned back in his chair, and he crossed his hands and said:
"You applied to be a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, the contract is for one year, and now you have to leave after less than a week, and you have to pay liquidated damages!"
Lockhart remembered that there seemed to be such a thing, and he pouted, he didn't care about this little money.
"I'll just give it!"
"And ...... When you were invited to come, you offered to buy your book as a textbook, and each student bought seven. ”
"The school board thinks you have to return these books to the students." Dumbledore's eyes were calm and said, "Return it at the original price." ”
Lockhart swallowed, his books were very expensive, seven books cost forty Galleons, and there were hundreds of people in a school, and it was tens of thousands of Galleons if they were all returned.
If he all retires, the publisher can kill him!
Lockhart was a little embarrassed: "I'm afraid this ......"
"I must warn you, Professor Lockhart." Dumbledore said softly:
"The school board members are some powerful pure-blood families, like Lucius Malfoy. I think you've read the newspaper too, and Mr. Wesley has been suspended for inspection. ”
"So if you resign, you will definitely be forced to return your money, even if it causes trouble with the Ministry of Magic."
Lockhart's face was pale, and his hands were shaking.
"And ......," Dumbledore continued.
"And?!" Lockhart exclaimed.
"Yes, according to the agreement, you must publish a statement in the Daily Prophet." Dumbledore narrowed his eyes and said:
"Inform you of the reason for your resignation, such as not being able to deal with the elves...... Otherwise, resigning for no reason will have a negative impact on the next Defense Against the Dark Arts recruitment process of our school. ”
The corners of Lockhart's mouth twitched, Hogwarts' Defense Against the Dark Arts recruitment, do you still need his influence?
"Professor Lockhart, if there is no objection, I will go through the resignation procedures for you now?" Dumbledore said softly.
Resign...... Excuse yourself!
At this moment, Lockhart really wanted to cry, how did he feel that he had been deceived into a pyramid scheme den, but that's it!
"Professor Dumbledore, I've thought it through." Lockhart stammered, "I'm still not resigning......"
"That's great, I don't know how to thank you!" Dumbledore shook Lockhart's hand, and he smiled and said:
"Hogwarts needs a good teacher like you, and I'm sure you're in the role of Defence Against the Dark Arts......
This time next year, you're looking back on tonight's decision and you won't regret it! ”
Lockhart: "......"
"Then I'll go first, good night!"
Dumbledore stood up, and he walked towards the outside of the hospital, the corners of his mouth slightly curled.
Now that you're here, do you want to go?
What do you think of the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor?!
It was he who promised, Tom Riddle...... I don't agree to the curse!
