Summer was approaching, and the wizard rank exam was finally here, and Lockhart, along with the other professors of the school, greeted the examiners in the lobby. It's all old guys, most of them even used to be examiners for Lockhart, and now they're all eating at the same table.

Lockhart will be in charge of the sideline tours for the exams that begin the next day.

"Professor, I'm so nervous......," Pandora nervously grabbed Lockhart's arm before entering the first exam, the Charms exam.

"Don't worry, those professors are all old gentlemen who took exams for me back then," Lockhart comforted, "they are all very kind people and very talkative." ”

Snape shouted gloomily, "Gildero, you can let go of my students, assemble by house!"

"Okay...... I'm going to ......" Pandora stammered after being kissed by Lockhart, and then walked over with the Slytherin candidates and entered the exam room with Snape leading. Lockhart looked amused, he remembered when he went to the exam room, when he walked into the exam room with confidence and pride. Boys and girls are completely different.

As soon as Pandora entered the examination room, the Salvation Trio also came to the door of the examination room.

"Professor!" Hermione noticed Pandora entering the exam room, and immediately ran over and clung to Lockhart's side, "I ......"

"Don't say you're nervous. Lockhart put his hand on Hermione's little shoulder, "You're getting so good grades, and you're nervous, so that the others can't live?"

"I can't help it......," Hermione said sadly.

Harry couldn't help but complain from the side, "Hermione asked me to ask her questions. But she kept snatching the books and reading them, and it hurt me......"

Ron was still flipping through a book, his mouth was constantly moving, and he was carrying something.

"Harry still wants to buy a brain tonic!" Hermione unceremoniously revealed his secrets, "he almost got cheated." ”

"Harry—it's better to buy brain tonic than to practice Occlumency. Lockhart glanced at Harry, "I'm not going to attack you for today's exam." ”

The corners of Harry's mouth twitched, "Thank you...... Professor. ”

Lockhart saw McGonagall looking at him, and he patted Hermione on the shoulder, "Alright, let's go over and gather, I wish you all good in the exams!"

"Then we'll get there......" Hermione said dryly, and then craned her neck to follow Harry and Ron to the rendezvous, as if she was really scared.

After the Gryffindor candidates had also entered the examination room, Lockhart leisurely walked to the edge of the balcony and looked at the scenery in the distance. What a patrol, for the students, this is a once-in-a-lifetime event, but as a professor, he has sent several batches of people into the examination room. He didn't believe that anyone could help the students in the field cheat outside the field, just patrol the prison and paddle the water.

In the distance, the black lake shimmered with light, the trees were blown by the wind, and the clouds seemed to have been burned by the sun and disappeared without a trace. The weather is not too hot, and the warm wind is itching on the face, which is very comfortable. If there were no Voldemort, no war, I would have been a professor here quietly for the rest of my life. When Dumbledore is that old, maybe he can become the headmaster, and he is looked up to by all the children, and it is a little exciting just thinking about it.

Lockhart leaned against the fence and thought wildly, unaware that someone had walked behind him: "Gidero, why don't you go in for the exam!"

Lockhart was taken aback and was also questioned. When I turned around, it turned out to be Professor Flitwick, the dean of Ravenclaw. "Uh...... Professor Flitwick, I've graduated, and now I'm a colleague with you......"

"Haha, just kidding you. Flitwick looked up at Lockhart with a smile, "The elementary school bully of the past has become a powerful person now, and you drove Umbridge away two days ago, you are simply too handsome." ”

"Thank you, Professor Flitwick, for your good teaching......"

"Don't make a fuss, I didn't expect you to be as successful as you are now, I always thought you were a showy boy. Professor Flitwick did not accept Lockhart's compliment.

Lockhart sweated a little: "Actually, your impression is right, I'm a showy young man......"

"It's normal for young people to be in the limelight," Flitwick tried to tat Lockhart on the shoulder, but only on his upper arm...... , he reluctantly put down his hand, "You are so ......"

Lockhart was speechless, maybe he should crouch down and talk to Professor Flitwick? That seems too unnatural......

Flitwick continued, "Now I'm listening to Penelope Crevat, who works at the Ministry of Magic, that you've been reported for using truth-spitting potions against others, and Professor McGonagall said that someone from the Ministry of Magic will investigate you in two days, so get ready. ”

"Don't worry, I'll be fine......"

"Anyway, no one has been able to stay in the position of Defense Professor for many years, and I hope this investigation is not a sign that we will continue to change professors. ”

"I really don't know how many people have ever been Defence Against the Dark Arts professors?" Lockhart asked curiously.

"No one has been re-elected since the mystery man failed to apply for this position, and I suspect that the mystery man made his men treat the people in this position badly. Flitwick guessed, "After all, it's much less expensive than the next curse." ”

"Maybe......"

"No more talking, I'm going to gather the Ravenclaw candidates, take it easy, I've gone to Headmaster Dumbledore, and he said he'll greet the Ministry of Magic. ”

"Well, thank you and Mr. Headmaster!"

Lockhart watched the Ravenclaw students enter the examination room, sighing how quickly time flies, he still remembers the scene when he was sent into the examination room by Professor Flitwick, and now he is talking and laughing with Professor Flitwick.

Lockhart sat down outside the door bored, pulled out his notebook, and continued to conceive of his next book.

He plans to expand his story against giants "slightly" into a novella. Of course, in this book, he even participated in the expulsion of giants more than ten years ago, anyway, he had already heard Moody dictate - Voldemort had just disappeared, the Aurors department had not yet begun to lay off personnel, and the Aurors, who were at the peak of their numbers and combat effectiveness, were almost all dispatched at that time, killing almost all the giants who appeared on the battlefields of the Death Eaters and the Ministry of Magic, and then let the other giants obediently accept the arrangement of the Ministry of Magic and go to live abroad.

Of course, Lockhart could not have wiped out all the Aurors who had participated in this operation, and he could not have claimed the credit for it, but the recent move to relocate the French giants could barely be regarded as his command - neither Moody nor Dawlis would jump out to compete with him for this honor. The book was expected to be a hit when it was published, but Lockhart had no choice but to hide it until after Voldemort's death.
