The Hogwarts Professor at Marvel

Chapter 139 Lockhart: Can I join the school board?

Hogwarts, hallway on the eighth floor.

tread!tread!tread!
Accompanied by the sound of hurried footsteps, Professor McGonagall, wearing a dark green wizard robe, strode forward.

Holding a stack of thick envelopes in his hand, his steps revealed a slight anxiety.

"chocolate ball!"

The water-drop stone beast statue opened with a bang, and Professor McGonagall walked in quickly.

Soon, with an invitation to come in, Professor McGonagall pushed open the door and saw Dumbledore writing the letter.

"Albus, Lockhart recruited research assistants in the name of Hogwarts, why didn't you mention this to me?"

Speaking of this, Professor McGonagall's expression was obviously a little bad, and he said, raising the stack of thick envelopes in his hand, and said: "I received so many letters last night, including this morning, there are a lot of letters. all the owls come to me."

At the end, there was obvious complaint in his tone.

"Minerva, don't worry." Dumbledore wrote his name on the letter, raised his head and said with a smile, "I wanted to talk to you about this today."

"I didn't expect Lockhart to be so impatient. Not long after I agreed, he found the Daily Prophet."

Hearing this, Professor McGonagall's complexion improved a bit, but he still said with a hint of worry: "Albus, are you sure that there is no problem recruiting research assistants under the name of Hogwarts recruitment?"

"It seems that the matter is a bit serious. The school board has sent letters to inquire, and the attitude is not good."

Having said that, Professor McGonagall asked curiously: "Albus, is Lockhart's research true?"

"Now he can give the Squib the ability to cast spells?"

"Yes, Minerva." Dumbledore nodded gently, and said, "I also participated in Lockhart's research. It is true that Squibs can have the ability to cast spells."

Hearing this, Professor McGonagall nodded, and asked thoughtfully: "Then Albus, how much did you participate in this research?"

"Some of my friends, they wrote to ask, although they didn't write it clearly, but what they said implied, they suspected that Lockhart was a shield for you to push?"

"Minerva, what do you think?" Dumbledore did not reply to Professor McGonagall's question, but asked directly.

Obviously, Professor McGonagall hesitated, she thought for a moment, and then said: "If Lockhart became a professor, maybe I would have similar thoughts. After all, Lockhart didn't have any achievements in magic research before."

"However, after communicating recently, it feels like he researched it."

"Of course, I trust you more. You are definitely not the kind of person who looks for a shield."

Regarding Professor McGonagall's answer, Dumbledore said with a smile: "Indeed, this research was basically completed by Lockhart alone, and I was just tinkering behind."

Hearing this, Professor McGonagall seemed to have thought of something, raised the envelope in his hand, and said, "Albus, do you want to read these letters?"

"It was sent by the school board. They think it is the research result of Hogwarts."

"It's a big deal, let's temporarily stop recruiting research assistants, and don't publicly announce the news in the Daily Prophet."

"After everyone is here, at the school board meeting, we will discuss and make decisions together."

At the end, Professor McGonagall's tone was obviously full of disgust.

Of course, she understood the attitude of the school board. It was nothing more than wanting to keep the research results for herself.

Professor McGonagall certainly knew what changes Lockhart's research would bring.

If they let the pure-blood family master it, I'm afraid that the Squibs will want to master magic by then, and don't even think about becoming a member of the pure-blood family.

She is a half-blood wizard, and she was often despised and bullied by pure-blood families when she was young.

Naturally know the thoughts of those people in the pure blood family.

"Oh, that's it." Contrary to Professor McGonagall's attitude, Dumbledore's attitude remained mild and unchanged, as if everything was expected.

"Then you can reply to them, this research has nothing to do with Hogwarts, it was researched by Lockhart alone."

"I would like to emphasize that Professor Lockhart has only been at Hogwarts for a month, and this research is the result of his work before coming to Hogwarts."

"Okay, Albus." Dumbledore's reply made the corners of Professor McGonagall's lips twitch slightly.

She had already imagined that those pure-blood families would have a look of reluctance on their faces when they read the reply.

"By the way, Minerva, you can deliver the letter from the school board to Lockhart for me." Dumbledore said gently: "Ask again, should Lockhart continue to use the Hogwarts letter?" Applying for a research assistant in name?"

"If he wants to, there is no need to stop him."

"Okay, Albus." Professor McGonagall replied, with some hesitation.

Obviously, she understood what Dumbledore meant.

Lockhart's office.

"Professor McGonagall, the headmaster really said so."

Looking across at Minerva McGonagall, Lockhart asked.

"Yes, Lockhart." Professor McGonagall nodded slightly.

Lockhart looked at the envelope of the school board in front of him, lost in thought.

Of course he understood what Dumbledore meant.

Now that the problem is in front of him, it depends on how he chooses.

If he chooses to face the difficulties, continue to recruit research assistants under the name of Hogwarts.

Then it is equivalent to in-depth cooperation with Hogwarts.

In the future, the school board will definitely use this as an excuse to plunder his research results, and even use this to damage his reputation.

He had seen, heard, and experienced this routine in his previous life.

Naturally disgusted.

But if you no longer use the name of Hogwarts, recruit research assistants.

Then the school board has no excuse at all to stop him.

After all, he has only been in the school for a month, and if this information is released, all fools will know who the research results are.

So he chose
"Okay, Professor McGonagall, then continue to recruit in the name of Hogwarts."

Lockhart replied firmly.

Although there are troubles in the name of Hogwarts, the benefits are also great.

The influence of Hogwarts can be said to be the ceiling of the entire wizarding world.

If you can borrow it, although there are some disadvantages, the advantages definitely outweigh the disadvantages.

This is equivalent to promoting some knowledge in the name of Tsinghua University and Peking University in the previous life.

Basically, without exerting too much power, this knowledge will spread naturally, and even be sought after by many people.

When many people heard that it was from Qingbei, they subconsciously believed it.

This is the influence of prestigious schools.

Hogwarts, on the other hand, has a longer history and a reputation of thousands of years, making it the number one in the entire wizarding world.

With the influence of Hogwarts, it can be said that it will be much easier to promote the new magic system.

As for the later board of directors
"Minerva, I may call you that."

"I want to ask, can you introduce me to the school board?"

"Also, can I join the school board?"
