Lockhart and Dumbledore returned to school, and when they returned to the headmaster's office, Lockhart found Snape sitting on the couch as well.

Dumbledore motioned for Lockhart to sit down as well.

"Harry's thing—" Dumbledore seemed to organize the language, "you should all know that. ”

"Forgive me, I only know that you called me in a hurry in the middle of the night. Snape looked at Dumbledore coldly.

"Because of the remnants of Voldemort's soul in that scar, he and Voldemort can now communicate with each other. ”

Snape nodded, "So?"

"I need someone to teach him Occlumency right now, and without a doubt, you have the best ...... here."

"Why don't you teach him yourself!" Snape seemed enraged, and he stood up and paced back and forth in his office, "I just promised you to do everything in your power to protect him!"

"Harry's father, that arrogant, lazy, stupid fellow, how much he's done to hurt me!and Harry is just like him now!"

"When I see Harry now, it's like I see his father! I almost restrain myself from casting a curse on him, and you let me teach him what I know?"

Dumbledore waved his hand, signaling Snape to calm down. "So," he said, looking at Lockhart, "Gildero?"

"Look, we almost forgot, didn't we. Snape said with obvious sarcasm, "The re-elected Defense Professor, Harry's favorite professor...... I'm guessing you'd be happy to teach him everything, wouldn't you? ”

Lockhart rolled his eyes helplessly, finally getting a little warmer with Snape......

"I think it's better for you to teach Harry yourself, Mr. Headmaster, and your Templar is ...... Isn't it, and I can barely do without a wand. Lockhart couldn't help but taunt Dumbledore, who was very resentful of Dumbledore's presumptuous deception.

"I'm sorry again for my faux pas, Gildero," Dumbledore didn't feel the verbal attack at all, "but I still have to go out and continue looking for the Horcruxes, time is getting tighter, the Dark Lord is getting stronger, I can almost feel his presence as I sit here, and I ...... At this time, it suddenly became a lot weaker. ”

"Most of all, I'm afraid that Voldemort can spy on me through Harry, which is the worst-case scenario. Dumbledore looked uneasily at the clouds outside the window, "So, please, Gildero. ”

"What? Voldemort can see you through Harry?" Lockhart was startled, "Isn't that why I'm giving a live lesson to the mystery man?"

"I guess Voldemort wouldn't look at such boring stuff," Dumbledore comforted Lockhart, "and for safety, I recommend that Harry not be allowed to hold a wand while teaching." ”

"Damn it......" When it came to this, Lockhart could only helplessly say no matter how afraid he was: "Leave it to me." ”

"Thank you, Gildero. Dumbledore said, "Now, you can go back and rest, and tomorrow you have class." ”

Hurried to the end of the lesson—Umbridge barely came to his class now, because she thought Lockhart had done as she was told, and went back to the office, and then there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in~" Lockhart shouted weakly, and then he realized that it was Hermione who had entered.

"Hi Hermione," Lockhart smirked, "it's been a long time since you've come to the office to look for me." ”

Hermione blushed, "I'm not here to find you, please tell me where Harry and Ron were!"

Lockhart was amused, and wanted to ask if he could find McGonagall or Dumbledore, but the little girl obviously wanted to come to her, and she was stubborn.

"Don't stand, come in and sit. Lockhart gestured to his chair. Hermione seemed reluctant to come in and sit down, which was where she used to sit, but unfortunately she couldn't sit here so easily and casually anymore.

"While the Order of the Phoenix was on a mission, Ron's father was wounded. Lockhart explained, "Now they're visiting Arthur at St. Mungo's Hospital. ”

"Hurt?" Hermione seemed nervous, "Yan zhòng." ”

"It's all right. Lockhart reassured.

Hermione immediately thought of something, "But why didn't Harry call me when he went?" she thought that even Harry and the Weasleys didn't think of her as their own.

"No, no, no, it's not like that," Lockhart hurriedly comforted her, "Harry was the first to notice Arthur's injury, so you can wait for Harry to come back and ask him yourself." ”

"Harry and Mr. Weasley are on a mission together?" Hermione thought of this.

"No, it was Harry who dreamed of Arthur's injury, or rather, sensed Arthur's injury. ”

"What the hell is that?" Hermione looked skeptical. "Well, because of the marks left on Harry's body, Harry can sense it when the mystery man hurts Arthur. ”

|“ Where is he now?"

"At St. Mungo's Hospital, if you want to go, it's best to take the knight's bus, I think you should be able to find it. ”

"Hmm. ”

"Help me comfort Harry and don't let him get cranky. ”

"yes, I see. Hermione seemed to remember something, "Professor, Hagrid is on probation. ”

"Yes. Lockhart frowned, "I'll say hello to the Minister of Magic, don't worry." ”

Hermione felt as if she had no reason or topic to sit anymore, so she had to stand up. "Excuse me, Professor, I'm leaving. ”

"You're welcome, Hagrid is my friend too. Lockhart smiled and said, "Don't you sit again." ”

"Your Pandora won't be good to see!" Hermione said sourly, leaving the office.

- Soon after, Harry and the Weasleys returned to school, and Lockhart immediately called Harry.

"Harry, to prevent that from happening again," Lockhart glared at Harry, "you need to start practicing Occlumency right away, you know." ”

"Yes, Professor. ”

"The Headmaster thinks you should learn Occlumency from me, but, I'll have to be honest with Harry," Lockhart continued, "Professor Snape's Occlumency is much better than mine, and you might be able to—"

"No! I'm not going to learn Occlumency from him! Professor, I'm sure you can teach me. ”

“...... Well, Harry, then from tonight onwards, you can come to me in the office when you're idle, and I'll teach you there. ”

"Yes. ”

"Okay, you can go to class. ”
