The Alchemist of Harry Potter

Chapter 589 The Wisdom of the Principal

In the middle of the night, just after the castle was under curfew, Lockhart put on a cloak and carried an oil lamp, and began to patrol the corridors.

Since the hapless Colin Creevey was attacked in the middle of the night by the heirs of Slytherin, Dumbledore had the professors up and patrolled in the middle of the night to prevent similar incidents from happening again.

It is said that the targets of the Slytherin heirs are all Muggle-born wizards, so Lockhart is not worried that he will be attacked at all. He is a half-blood wizard, and he is also a professor at the school.

In fact, what made Lockhart annoyed was not that he got up to patrol in the middle of the night, but that the first half of the semester was almost over, and he himself had never achieved the purpose of coming to Hogwarts College.

To be a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts, but he needs to take a lot of risks. Lockhart originally hoped that he could gain more popularity by becoming a teacher of the "famous Harry Potter", but this desire has always been Couldn't go any further.

Lockhart knew he had to do something or the first half would really be over.

Today, Lockhart did not follow the usual route to patrol, but stopped in front of the stone monster on the third floor. After reading the correct password, he took the stone ladder to the top floor.

It's just after eleven o'clock, and Professor Dumbledore must not have rested. Maybe he can...

Lockhart raised his hand and knocked on the door of the principal's office. After a while, the door opened from the inside.

Lockhart was a little surprised to see some unexpected guy here, he recognized Snape at a glance, this guy is the least popular professor at Hogwarts, and Harry Potter is said to hate it too Snape.

After sensing Lockhart's gaze, Snape raised his head to meet Lockhart's gaze and frowned slightly.

"Good evening Gilderoy, did you find something?" Dumbledore cast a suspicious look at Lockhart.

"No, no." Lockhart showed his signature smile at the two of them and said his intentions, "It's like this, I noticed that the last attack made the students' emotions tense. It's tight, maybe we should figure out a way to ease the situation."

Snape frowned when he heard the words, obviously he couldn't compliment Lockhart's high opinion, he felt that the other party brought this matter up at this time.

"We can give the students some confidence." Lockhart immediately stated his plan: "I hope that Professor Dumbledore will allow me to open a dueling club in the castle, so that the students can have the opportunity to train their self-defense ability."

"You mean to fight that so-called monster?" Snape said softly, and he seemed to hold back from laughing.

"Of course not, that's very unrealistic, but I think it's quite necessary for students to have some self-defense ability." Lockhart turned to Snape and said, "I have used magic countless times to protect myself from harm, and There is a small activity that can try to reverse the depressing and tense atmosphere in the school, and I think it is necessary to try it.”

"This is a good idea, tell me about your plan, Gilderoy." Dumbledore noticed Snape's confused look, and explained with a smile: "The atmosphere in the school is indeed a bit depressing, and It doesn't hurt to have students learn something useful."

"This is just an idea. Please give me a few days, and I will definitely be able to come up with a specific plan." Lockhart was very excited, but he did not expect that Professor Dumbledore would agree to let him hold a duel club in the school.

"After you have prepared the specific plan, come and talk to me about this."

"Severus." Lockhart turned his head to look at Snape and invited, "I hope you can serve as my temporary assistant."

At this moment, Snape's expression was gloomy and terrifying, as if he would pull out his wand at any time and give Lockhart a stroke of Avada.

"I'll trouble you then." Dumbledore looked at the two of them and said with a smile, not giving Snape a chance to refuse.

"You shouldn't agree to his stupid decision."

As soon as Lockhart left his forefoot, Snape immediately complained to Dumbledore that he didn't want to be Lockhart's assistant at all.

"Stupid, no, this is a good opportunity." Dumbledore said meaningfully, "and, I think what Gilderoy said makes sense, the atmosphere in the school is indeed a bit bad, maybe he can help everyone liven up. atmosphere."

For some reason, Snape heard something else from Dumbledore's mouth.

"With all due respect, stuff like Lockhart will only make a mess of things." Snape made no secret of his disgust and contempt for the new Defence Against the Dark Arts professor, "If you really want to hold a duel club, it will be completely You can leave it to me to host it.”

From what Snape knew about Lockhart, that guy held a dueling club, definitely not to teach students dueling skills, but to attract everyone's attention.

Lockhart had been doing this all semester, much to Snape's disgust.

"No, Severus, Gilderoy is more suitable than you." Professor Dumbledore looked at Snape deeply, and said softly, "However, with your help, I believe the students can gain something. "

There is no doubt that Professor Dumbledore also knew what Lockhart was, so he asked Snape to help.

Dumbledore couldn't find any reason to refuse Lockhart's proposal.

Since the last attack, the atmosphere in the school has indeed become very depressing, and everyone is worried that they will be the next unlucky person to be attacked.

Dumbledore also believed in Lockhart's ability, and there must be a way to liven up the depressing atmosphere in the school.

And, most importantly, Dumbledore saw it as a good opportunity to show other students what Lockhart really was.

The more Lockhart reveals, the easier it is to reveal flaws.

He believed that after the first half of the semester, many students in the school had doubts about Lockhart's ability, but it was not enough. After everyone sees Lockhart's poor performance in the dueling club, I believe the students will really realize that Lockhart is not as brave as his books.

This is one of the reasons why Lockhart was invited to Hogwarts as a professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts.

Ordinary school life allowed Lockhart to gradually reveal his true self. Ego and thirst for fame overcame his cautiousness, and Dumbledore believed that Lockhart's hoax would soon be exposed.
