Chapter 179: Back to School
During his last few days at the Order of the Phoenix, Lockhart helped Harry look at his summer homework and, as agreed with Scrimgeur, told Harry about the Aurors, and told Harry that he must study hard and try to join the Aurors.
Now it's school's turn to start, and Cyrith Black, as Harry Potter's temporary guardian, has received a letter from the Ministry of Magic that two Aurors will be at the train station to help protect Harry.
Cyris and Lockhart are both very strong wizards, and Harry has also apparitioned, so to be safe, the three simply cast a confusion charm on themselves and directly apparition to the King's Railway Station. As soon as they walked into the station, two bearded Aurors in black Muggle suits with stern expressions stepped forward.
"Hey, Nikita, Gadvin!" Coincidentally, the two Aurors were people Lockhart knew, and one was his former team leader. Nikita R. Petrov, who was a very strange British-Russian, unlike other Aurors, liked to hold a Muggle weapon in his right hand and only used a wand in his left hand, and Gadwin Robaz was a very powerful Auror, after Scrimgeour became the head of the Auror Command after he became the head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, he did not expect to protect Harry himself, and the Ministry of Magic was also unscrupulous in order to curry favor with Harry.
"Hello, Gildero. Nikita didn't speak English very well, but just nodded, and Gadwin smiled when he saw the familiar person, "You're with Harry, so we don't need to come." β
"No, no, there is a lot of power. Lockhart smiled, "How's the ministry going?" β
"Evil ** happens every day, and wizards are arrested every day, but there are really a handful of Death Eaters among them. Gadvin said helplessly, "It seems that the internal management of the Death Eaters is also very strict. β
"They have a backbone, and naturally they are different from other ordinary dark wizards. β
"Well, let's stop talking, let's get Harry Potter in the car. Gadvin led the way towards the pillar between platforms nine and ten, first through the wall, followed by the others.
ββ
"Take care of Harry on the way, Gildero!" Gardwin waved goodbye to Lockhart after putting Lockhart and Harry on the train.
"Take care of yourself, Harry!" Cyris waved goodbye to his godson.
"Yes, goodbye!"
Lockhart was about to find a random seat to sit in, when he met Hermione, who was patrolling the carriage as a prefect, and when he saw her approaching excitedly, he quickly grabbed Hermione's shoulders to prevent her from rushing over and kissing him in public.
"Professor......" was held down by him, Hermione exclaimed aggrievedly, she is also the woman who slept with Lockhart now, and she also wants to show affection with Lockhart in public, it would be great if Pandora could see it and break up.
"Honey, you make your rounds first, and then we'll talk to the school, okay?" Lockhart reassured her, and he also found that it was a bit of a struggle to juggle between two girls at the same time, especially since they were students in the same grade.
"Well, goodbye, Professor. Hermione grieved and left.
Lockhart sat down in a random car, he and Pandora had been together for the summer, and there was no need to go to the Slytherin car to look for her - but after a few minutes he decided that it would be better to go to Pandora - and he was surrounded by a bunch of chattering girls anyway.
Luckily, soon after the train started, someone came to his rescueβa junior girl timidly approached Lockhart's carriage and gave him a parchment with a purple ribbon tied in it: "Professor Slughorn gave you yours, Professor Lockhart." β
Gidero:
I would be very happy if you could have lunch with me in car C.
You are faithful
H.E.F., Professor Slughorn
"Who is Professor Slughorn?" the girl next to her asked strangely when she saw it.
"Your new teachers for next semester, kids. Lockhart breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Please give in, beauty." β
Lockhart barely squeezed people out of the carriage, and as he passed the Ravenclaw carriage, he saw Harry chatting happily with Zhang Qiu - Lockhart had no position to accuse Harry of being amorous, after all, they didn't sleep with Ginny or Zhang Qiu.
"Harry, did you also receive an invitation from Professor Slughorn? Lockhart took the initiative to speak, "We can go together." β
"Ah, Professor Lockhart!" Zhang Qiu greeted Lockhart happily.
"Hi, Autumn. Lockhart smiled and said, "How's the summer vacation going?"
"It's a pleasure!" Zhang Qiu said meaningfully, "but certainly not as pleasant as Pandora Fudge." β
Lockhart smiled awkwardly, ignoring the whispers and low laughter of the Ravenclaw girls, and pulled Harry away.
When they arrived in car C, they realized that Slughorn had invited more than just the two of them, and Pandora was of course there, and she winked at Lockhart when she saw him, but judging by Slughorn's warm welcome, Harry and Lockhart were the ones he was most eager to see.
"Gildelow and Harry, my boys!" Slughorn jumped to his feet at the sight of the two of them, his big velvet belly almost filling the rest of the space in the carriage. His bright bald head shone in the sunlight like the gold buttons on his waistcoat. "Kids, I have to reintroduce you to your favorite Professor Lockhart - he was my favorite student back then!"
The students in the carriage obviously didn't know these stories, and they all looked at Lockhart and Slughorn in disbelief, and Lockhart couldn't help but curse to himself, this old guy is more natural than himself.
"And, of course, our savior, Harry Potter, whom I've known for a long time, but it's only now that I have time to be his professor, it's ...... What a pity!"
If I had known Harry for a long time after meeting Harry two weeks ago, I was not wrong.
Although there were many people present who were Slytherin's second generation rich second generation or something, and maybe didn't like or even hated Harry, everyone politely greeted Lockhart, which made him very satisfied.
"Okay, you all know these people, don't you?" Slughorn asked Harry and Lockhart, "Of course, Gilderoy has been a defense professor for so many years, so I won't introduce you to you." β
"Gidero, sit down. I was just saying to the young Marcos that I had the privilege of teaching her uncle Damocles," Slughorn said to Lockhart and Harry, "a great wizard, very good, just like you, Gildero, and his Merlin Medal is absolutely deserved." Do you see your uncle often, Marcos?"
Unfortunately, Marcos had just eaten a large mouthful of quail, and in her eagerness to answer Slughorn's question, she swallowed so quickly that her face suddenly turned the color of pig liver, and she choked on it.
"Cough down. Slughorn pointed his wand at Belby, and said calmly, Belby's windpipe seemed to be unobstructed all at once.
"No...... I don't see him much. Belby gasped, her tears choking on.
