Chapter 110: Lockhart: The advantage is mine
"Look at what you said, Professor." Louis shrugged: "Uniting all the forces that can be united is my standard of doing things."
"Muggles, too?" Dumbledore asked thoughtlessly.
"We all came from Muggles, and we will return to Muggles." Louis replied with a high emotional intelligence.
Dumbledore nodded approvingly, "It looks like you're not the same as Gellert and Tom."
"I'm Muggle-born, Professor." Louis said with some disapproval, "I don't know about Grindelwald seniors, but Tom ...... Should it be said that it is a convert's fanaticism? It's almost so understandable."
"Honestly, I kind of regret that I didn't get things done in time." Dumbledore shrugged, but his expression didn't show remorse.
"You're such a conscientious teacher." Louis's statement is actually more ironic than praised.
But Dumbledore began to sigh.
"I hope you don't become the next generation of Dark Lords, Louie." For the first time, Dumbledore was so emotional in front of Louis.
"Who can tell what will happen in the future?" Louis shrugged: "Don't forget that sentence, the unknowability of the future is the driving force behind our progress."
Dumbledore didn't answer directly, but said, "Tomorrow the school board will come to Hogwarts with Cornelius Fudge, the Minister for Magic, if nothing else, and whether you can get what you want depends on how they decide tomorrow."
"To be honest, I don't really like the feeling of being swayed by other people." Louis felt a little uncomfortable, but given that he was under the roof, he had to bow his head.
"So, child, I have to sit on my ass, I'm very old, I've seen too many ups and downs in this time, and sometimes it's not a good thing to be young and go too smoothly." Dumbledore gave advice to the pleasing kid in front of him.
"Eat the rice one bite at a time, like Emma said, you can't eat hot pudding in a hurry."
"You're worried about me flipping the chessboard, Professor." Louis meant, "Don't worry, Professor, it's something I can enjoy when I win what I want within the rules."
"Then I'll be relieved." Professor Dumbledore then pulled out a honey candy, "Eat one?"
Louis knew that this time he was really relieved.
He took the honey candy, twisted the outer package and threw it into his mouth.
"What's the smell of leeks?" Louis asked suspiciously.
"Oh, I put a piece of green Bibi Bean in it." Dumbledore was clearly in a good mood and even started joking.
Louis was stunned, not knowing how to answer, so he could only give Dumbledore a thumbs up.
"I planted it, Professor, did you do it on purpose?"
Dumbledore laughed, revealing a soothing feeling, "Actually, I've always been very relieved of you, and just now it was just a foreshadowing for you to eat this flavored bean." At the end, he blinked mischievously, "It's a pity that this bean doesn't smell like boogis, hey."
Louis thought it wasn't raining, but it turned out that Dumbledore had left him speechless.
"Beware of Fudge." Professor Dumbledore put on a serious face, "Although I supported him, this man is very ambitious, and Gilderoy Lockhart is the one he assigned to teach, probably in preparation for opening the door for the Ministry of Magic to enter Hogwarts." ….
"Now that you're going to cut off a little power in the hands of his people, I'm afraid it's hard to please...... Now that I'm still here, he probably won't make much of a move towards Hogwarts - when I'm gone, he'll pounce on him like a fly in blood and bite the fat of Hogwarts."
"It's a pity that you're looking at the wrong person again." Louis said meaningfully.
"It's not that I'm looking at the wrong person, Louis." Dumbledore shook his head, "The human heart is complex, just like water, it is calm on the surface, but there is an undercurrent surging inside, you can't know it all."
Louis sighed like a little adult, and sighed:
"But one thing is certain, the water goes low, but the human heart always wants to be high when it is high."
"You see it better than I do." Professor Dumbledore was not shy about compliments.
"Alright, Professor, it's getting late, it's time for me to go back to Slytherin's common room, Catherine is still waiting for me." Louis stood up and wanted to leave.
"Oh, I haven't congratulated you on taking off the bachelor's hat." Dumbledore teased Louis in a narrow tone.
Louis's face was comparable to his iron armor, where was it so easy to be shy, and he said to Professor Dumbledore with a blushing face, "Then do you have to show it?"
Dumbledore let out an "ahh
After saying that, the phoenix disappeared in front of Louis.
Playing a run-word understands that it belongs to yes.
Louis was dumbfounded, and he had a new understanding of Dumbledore.
The next day, Louis was told to meet the principal.
When he entered the headmaster's room, he noticed that there were many people, including Lucius, who was nodding at him without a trace, and the four deans, Professor Snape was looking at him with a look of "I am optimistic about you".
There were several others he didn't know, and Gilderoy Lockhart, who was looking at him with an unhappy expression.
"Here comes our illustrious Mr. Mountbatten." A middle-aged man with a somewhat bureaucratic atmosphere said, looking at this wide-hearted and fat appearance, he is at least a special director.
"Alright, Louis, come over here." Dumbledore beckoned to Louis to come over and introduce him one by one.
The middle-aged man with a wide heart and a fat body just now was the current Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge.
He is different from Lockhart's straw bag with joy and sorrow on his face, this person is very deep at a glance, no matter who he is, he will always be a harmonious group, even to Louis, he has repeatedly praised his young and promising, and in time he will definitely grow into an excellent wizard who can compete with Dumbledore.
Look at the people, and when they speak, they complete the killing and sowing discord.
The rank is much higher than Lockhart.
"Alright, without further ado, everyone is here to vote on Mr. Louis's teaching of the second year Defense Against the Dark Arts class." Dumbledore spoke, and the scene fell silent for a moment.
He looked at the school board and the officials of the Ministry of Magic who were staring at him, and said, "As a school with a long history, this school has always adhered to the people-oriented education policy, so we can't ignore the wishes of our students, and now...... Those who support Mr. Louis, please raise your hand." ….
"Looks like there are quite a few people who support Louis." Dumbledore nodded, "So, how many are against?"
Almost a third of the school trustees, along with officials from the Ministry of Magic, and Lockhart, voted by a show of hands.
Unfortunately, 10-10, a draw.
"I actually have a proposal." Fudge, who had been smiling and playing the role of Maitreya Buddha, spoke: "Let Mr. Mountbatten take the second-year students of the two houses, and Mr. Lockhart will also take the second-year students of the two houses, and arrange a duel between the houses after Christmas, in order to test the teaching achievements of the two of them...... What do you think?"
Fudge looked at Louis with a deep meaning in his eyes.
A student, no matter how outstanding, could not be a match for an adventurer like Lockhart and an adult wizard.
The people of the Muggle family should stay in the Muggle world honestly, go to the wizarding world to expand their power, and take this opportunity to beat them even if they keep knocking on their outstretched hand.
Fudge didn't take Louis seriously at all, and the forces standing behind him were the ones he needed to care about the most.
Is the Muggle world still not willing to be lonely, and wants to recreate the way it did before the seventeenth century to make the Ministry of Magic subjugated? Fudge is used to being the Minister of Magic, and if he is used to it, how can he find himself a top.
Lu Bu said it well, wow, the eldest husband lives in heaven and earth
In between, how can you be depressed and live under people for a long time?
If Fudge knew that there was such a person as Lu Bu, I am afraid that he would have become a confidant a long time ago.
"Secretary Fudge's proposal is good, and I think it's reasonable." Lucius hurriedly answered, and was about to sit down to death before listening to the tone.
He knew Louis's teaching ability deeply, so he said that the rotten wood in his house was about to make Louis become a dragon.
Draco: "Ue, even if you're my dad...... Oh Dad, you go on.
The other opponents couldn't find fault with it, but everyone, except for the four headmasters, Dumbledore and Lucius, who supported Luis, were skeptical that Louis would succeed, and those who opposed Luis were waiting to see Louis's joke.
But Louis disagreed: "The President, the Dean, the Directors, and ...... Mr. Minister." He deliberately put the minister at the end, "It's the four colleges that have applied for it, so I can't favor one over the other, right? So, I suggest that I take the second-year students of the four houses, and wait until Christmas, so that Professor Lockhart can pick our opponents among the fifth-year students, and you see, how about that proposal?"
This time, even Professor McGonagall, Professor Sprout, and Professor Flitwick changed their faces slightly.
It's not that they don't believe in Luis, but they don't believe in second-graders...... The three-year-old gap is not so easy to bridge.
They didn't know why Louis said that, but they instinctively felt that it wouldn't work.
Professor Sprout even spoke out to stop: "Don't, Louis......"
But Fudge quickly finalized the phrase: "Good! Mr. Mountbatten is so confident, so it's decided!"
Lockhart's face was still a little bitter, after all, after the incident with the elves in Cornwall yesterday afternoon, he had begun to doubt his ability to teach - he had secretly decided that he would never bring living creatures to class again. ….
But when he heard Louis's near-death request, he was overjoyed at once.
Isn't this just a pillow when you fall asleep, he is overjoyed, what is this called, this is called the fifth grade to the second grade, the advantage is in me!
He looked at Louis with a smile on his face, and he was so happy that he had won for nothing.
Fudge had already hinted to him that after his victory and gaining a foothold at Hogwarts, the Ministry of Magic would offer him an honorary position.
For the vain Lockhart, this is a fatal temptation.
It's okay, it's not the temptation to go home.
"I would add, though, that Hogwarts professors are not allowed to interfere with the teaching of the two." Fudge added.
Before coming here, Fudge had roughly investigated Louis's teaching in the past year, and he only regarded Louis's performance as Professor Snape's covert help, and did not associate it with Louis himself.
In fact, Fudge is not to blame, no one would have imagined that a first-year freshman could be so rebellious, which is completely unreasonable.
But there are many things in this world that cannot be dealt with by common sense.
"Absolutely." Professor Dumbledore nodded in response to Fudge's request, he looked around and said in an unquestioning tone, "Then in the presence of the professors, the school trustees, and the officials of the Ministry of Magic, this bet ...... It's been established."
"If Mr. Louis wins the bet, then he will be an associate professor in the Defence Against the Dark Arts class at his school, and will be in charge of the Defence Against the Dark Arts class for that year...... The Ministry of Magic will not have any opinion." Minister of Magic Fudge smiled as he made decisions for Lockhart.
"If Mr. Lockhart wins, then I'll never talk about teaching again during my time at school." Louis said with a look on his face.
"You don't seem to have much to lose if you lose, it's not fair to Professor Lockhart, after all...... The news of this incident has also affected his reputation." Fudge smiled and said with a strange smile.
Snape, who had been silent, suddenly retorted: "If you could use your eyesight a little bit, you might find that this game itself is unfair to Mr. Mountbatten."
In the end, it has to be Snape, who is still a good student who protects him at a critical moment.
Louis thought to himself, thank you Professor for your maintenance, I will definitely try to persecute you in a different way.
Snape: Are you polite?
When Fudge heard what Snape said, he didn't look embarrassed at all, and said without blushing and heartbeat, "I'm sorry, but I just want to say that Mr. Mountbatten is so good that I ignore his age for a while."
As he spoke, he smiled politely at Louis.
"Just remember, I hope you don't regret it." Snape pulled a smiling expression and said in a cold tone.
"Of course, of course, I'm sure I won't go back." Lockhart took advantage of it and sold it: "Alas, if that's it, it's really a bit of a victory." As he spoke, he pretended to be embarrassed and sighed: "But this is everyone's request, so I can't refute it, so I can only reluctantly respect everyone's opinion."
As he spoke, he winked at Louis proudly, and in his opinion, this competition was an advantage in my hands.
