At half past ten on the weekend morning, Amosta stood in front of Professor Lockhart's office.

To be honest, he didn't have much ill feelings towards this professor with a bad reputation, and from the last brief contact, the professor's attitude when communicating with him was quite friendly, of course, I have to say, his speaking style is indeed a bit pompous.

Actually, Amosta is a little guilty about Lockhart, and as for the reasons, there are two in total.

The first reason is obvious, people should be good as Defence Against the Dark Arts professors, and they steal half of other people's jobs without saying hello, which is very immoral.

The second reason is a bit more complicated.

That night a few days ago, Amosta somehow forcibly transferred the Dark Lord's curse on the position to the Voodoo Doll, and the advantage of this was that Amosta himself didn't have to take the risk of the curse, and with it, there was a lot less risk for Lockhart, who should have suffered the consequences of the curse.

At first glance, this may seem like the best of both worlds, but it's not.

For example, the Dark Lord's curse is like a rushing river, and Amosta's way of resisting the curse is to forcibly build a levee on the river to block the turbulent current, as long as the levee is strong, he is safe standing behind the levee, but if one day the levee collapses, or he voluntarily removes the levee, then the water stored in the high position will be far more brutal than before.

Of course, if Professor Lockhart resigns and runs away before Amosta, then I'm afraid he will have to bear all the consequences.

"Please come in!"

The voice behind the door was still so cheerful, and nothing unusual could be heard.

"I hope he doesn't get too angry--"

Before pushing the door open, Amosta muttered quietly.

Professor Lockhart's office was as flamboyant as his own, several walls were covered with portraits of himself, and even on a clear morning, there were many bright candles in the room, the light of which was reflected by the white fangs in the photographs on the walls, almost blinding him.

It's also worth mentioning that Professor Lockhart probably has the only letters on the Hogwarts faculty that rivals Headmaster Dumbledore's, and the letters on his desk are about five feet tall.

"Oh, Miss Granger, I didn't expect you to be here!"

He wasn't the only one in Lockhart's office, and across from him, a little witch scrambled to get up from her chair when she saw him come in, and hid a golden card in her pocket with a red face.

"Good morning, Mr. Bryan!"

Amosta stood in the doorway and didn't move, he raised an eyebrow and smiled

"So, Madam Pomfrey has already taken care of your pretty black..."

Amosta saw the little witch blink her head desperately, and her body was nervously curled up in a ball, so she immediately understood,

"Oh... Well, congratulations on your recovery, Miss Granger... So,"

Amosta looked at Lockhart with an inquiring look, "Sorry to interrupt your conversation, Professor Lockhart, if you're inconvenient right now..."

"Oh, don't leave, I can't turn down one fan and another, Amosta, Miss Granger is here to thank me, we're done!"

Amosta saw the curiosity in Hermione's eyes as she looked at her, knowing that she must have misunderstood something, but he didn't bother to explain the innocuous misunderstanding, and walked in with a wry smile.

Although she was curious about why Mr. Bryan had come to visit Professor Lockhart, Hermione knew that they would not allow her to stay here and overt eavesdropping, so she could only reluctantly leave, and there was a small incident before leaving, because of the pretense in her heart, Hermione accidentally knocked over the stack of hundreds of letters waiting to be answered on Professor Lockhart's desk.

"I'm sorry, Professor, I'll help you..."

Looking at Hermione, who was scrambling to find her wand, Amosta shook her head amusedly, how could she look panicked every time she saw this clever little witch.

"Don't bother, Miss Granger, I'll take care of it!"

Seeing Hermione leave with a snort, Amosta stepped forward with a smile, he glanced at the envelopes scattered on the floor and on the desk, and suddenly, a pile of antique parchment words pressed under the letters made his eyes freeze, but he quickly returned to normal, snapping his fingers crisply, and hundreds of letters in various envelopes automatically floated up and neatly returned to their places.

"In my opinion, you're probably the most popular teacher in the school right now, Professor Lockhart."

Professor Lockhart, who looked a little stiff because of Amosta's beautiful silent and wandless spell casting, immediately brightened his smile,

"Actually, it's not only that, when you fully integrate into the professor's team, you will find that in the professor's team, Gilderoy Lockhart is also the most high-profile one, after all,"

Lockhart winked playfully at Amosta and took a deep breath,

"How many people have won the Wizarding Weekly Most Charming Smile Award five times in a row, and are also the recipient of the Order of Merlin, Third Class and an honorary member of the Anti-Black Arts League? Of course, Amosta, you must know as much about my past as Miss Granger, right? ”

Lockhart didn't notice that Amosta, whose face was getting more and more unbearable, was completely intoxicated with his own world,

"Oh, hehe, Amosta, Amosta, I have to admit that you have surprised me again, and it is not enough to follow in my footsteps into Hogwarts, and now in order to get close to me, he even applied to Dumbledore to be my assistant, oh, I have to say, Amosta, among my most fanatical followers, you are also very prominent!"

Amosta's lips pursed and his expression tensed, and he slightly understood why this household name star writer had become a suspicion at Hogwarts!

However, it also allowed Amosta to find an idea of how to communicate with him.

"Ahem, that's true, Professor Lockhart, I'm indeed your admirer..."

"Aha!"

Lockhart let out an exaggerated laugh, and his expression was indeed so.

“... Indeed, I applied to become an assistant professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts to get close to you, and I hope to work with the little wizards to improve myself in your classroom.

Professor McGonagall does, however, seem to think... Oh, what she means is that it's too hard for you to deal with so many fan letters every day, and to teach hundreds of young wizards to fight against the evil dark arts, and she wants me to take the pressure off you and let me teach the seniors alone, honestly, that's what I wanted..."

"Needless to say, Amosta, I know exactly what you mean--"

The confidence on Lockhart's face seemed to glow, and he interrupted Amosta's explanation,

"Wish you to teach with me, right, no problem, Amosta, Gilderoy Lockhart would never refuse a request from an avid fan!"

Belch...

It was so easy to achieve its goal, but it overwhelmed Amosta!

At the end of the meeting, Amosta asks if he needs to make some preparations so that he doesn't have to be able to follow Professor Lockhart's pace during class, but is told by Lockhart that he doesn't need to do anything at all, just follow the instructions during the lesson.

"By the way, Professor Lockhart--"

Before leaving the office, Amosta stood at the door and turned his head, his expression very subtle,

"Do you have any research on memory magic..."
