I'm the paper king at Hogwarts

Chapter 114 Lockhart: The advantage is mine
"Look at what you said, professor." Louis shrugged: "Uniting all forces that can be united is my standard of doing things."

"Including Muggles?" Dumbledore asked nonchalantly.

"We all came from Muggles, and we will eventually return to Muggles." Louis replied with a high EQ.

Dumbledore nodded approvingly: "It seems that you are different from Gellert and Tom."

"I'm Muggle-born, Professor." Louis said with some disapproval: "I don't understand Senior Grindelwald, but Tom... should be said to be a fanatic convert? It's almost understandable."

"To be honest, I regret that I didn't make things right in time." Dumbledore shrugged, but there was no sign of regret on his expression.

"You are really a conscientious teacher." Louis's words were actually more ironic than praise.

But Dumbledore began to sigh.

"I hope you won't become a new generation of Dark Lords, Louis." Dumbledore sighed in front of Louis for the first time.

"Who can tell what will happen in the future?" Louis shrugged: "Don't forget that sentence, the unknowable future is the driving force behind our progress."

Dumbledore did not answer directly, but said: "Tomorrow, if there is no accident, the school board will come to Hogwarts with the Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge. Whether you can get what you want depends on them tomorrow." How did the decision be made?"

"To be honest, I don't really like the feeling of being influenced by others." Louis felt a little uncomfortable, but since he was under the eaves, he had to bow his head.

"So, boy, I have to sit on my buttocks. I am very old. I have seen too many ups and downs in this time. Sometimes young people go too smoothly, which is not a good thing." Dumbledore said to the person in front of him. Advice from the lovable good boy.

"The meal has to be eaten bite by bite, as Emma said, hot pudding can't be eaten in a hurry."

"You're worried that I'll overturn the chessboard, Professor." Louis pointedly said, "Don't worry, Professor, winning what I want within the rules is something worthy of my enjoyment."

"Then I'm relieved." Professor Dumbledore took out a sizzling honey candy: "Eat one?"

Louis knew that this time he was really relieved.

He took the honey candy, unwrapped the outer packaging and threw it into his mouth.

"Why does it smell like chives?" Louis asked suspiciously.

"Oh, I put a piece of green Bibi's multi-flavored beans in it." Dumbledore was obviously in a good mood, and even started to joke.

Louis choked, not knowing how to answer, he could only give Dumbledore a thumbs up.

"I fell, professor, did you do it on purpose?"

Dumbledore laughed loudly, showing a soothing mood: "Actually, I have always been at ease with you, and it was just a foreshadowing for you to eat this piece of multi-flavored beans." At the end, he was still very naughty Blinking eyes: "It's a pity that this bean doesn't smell like booger, hey."

Louis thought it wasn't raining, but it turned out that Dumbledore had left him speechless.

"You have to be careful of Fudge." Professor Dumbledore put on a serious face: "Although I helped him up, he is very ambitious, Gilderoy Lockhart is the one he appointed me to teach , maybe it is to prepare for opening the door of the Ministry of Magic to enter Hogwarts."

"Now you are going to cut a little bit of power in the hands of his people, I am afraid it will be difficult to please... Now that I am still here, he may not make much action against Hogwarts-once I am not here, Like a fly that sees blood, he will pounce on it and take a bite of the fat of Hogwarts."

"Unfortunately, you misread the wrong person again." Louis said meaningfully.

"It's not that I misunderstood people, Louis." Dumbledore shook his head: "People's hearts are complicated, just like water. On the surface, it is calm, but there is an undercurrent surging inside, and you can't know everything about it."

Louis sighed like a little adult, and said with emotion: "But one thing is certain, the water goes to the bottom, but people always want to go high when they are high."

"You see better than I do." Professor Dumbledore didn't hesitate to praise him.

"Okay, Professor, it's getting late, I should go back to the Slytherin lounge, Catherine is still waiting for me." Louis stood up and wanted to leave.

"Oh, I haven't congratulated you on successfully picking off the bachelor hat yet." Dumbledore teased Louis narrowly.

Louis's face was comparable to his iron armor, so he was so easily shy, he said to Professor Dumbledore with a neither red nor pale face: "Then do you have to express it?"

Dumbledore let out an "ah", and raised his hand to call Fox: "I suddenly remembered that I was still cooking soup in the kitchen, let's go first, bye-"

After speaking, the man and the phoenix disappeared in front of Louis.

It is yes to play a word embellishment.

Louis was dumbfounded, and had a new understanding of Dumbledore.

The next day, when classes were in session, Louis was notified to see him in the principal's office.

When he entered the headmaster's office, he found many people, including Lucius, who was nodding at him without a trace, and four deans. Professor Snape was looking at him with an expression that I liked you.

Several others he didn't know, and Gilderoy Lockhart, were looking at him with displeasure.

"Our outstanding Mr. Mountbatten is here." A middle-aged man with a somewhat bureaucratic air said, judging from his broad-minded and fat appearance, he is at least a special bureau chief.

"Alright then, Louis, come this way." Dumbledore beckoned for Louis to come over, and introduced him one by one.

The fat middle-aged man just now is the current Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge.

He is different from Lockhart's idiot who is full of joy, anger, sorrow and joy on his face. This person is extremely rich at first glance, no matter who he is with, he is always in harmony. He must be able to grow into an excellent wizard who can rival Dumbledore.

Look at other people, they have completed flattery and sowing dissension while talking.

The rank is much higher than that of Lockhart.

"Okay, I won't gossip anymore. Everyone is here to vote on Mr. Louis' teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts class to the second grade." Dumbledore said, and the scene fell silent instantly.

He looked around at the school managers and officials of the Ministry of Magic who were staring at him, and said: "As a school with a long history, this school has always adhered to the people-oriented education policy, so we can't do what the students wish. Ignore, now... hands up for Mr. Lewis."

Most of the school managers, including Dumbledore and the four deans, also raised their hands.

"It seems that there are quite a few people who support Louis." Dumbledore nodded and said, "Then, how many people are against?"

Almost one-third of the school trustees, together with officials from the Ministry of Magic, and Lockhart, all voted with a show of hands.

Unfortunately, 10-10, a draw.

"I actually have a proposal." Fudge, who has been playing Maitreya Buddha with a smile all the time, said: "Let Mr. Mountbatten take the second-year students from two colleges, and Mr. Lockhart also take the second-year students from two colleges. Arrange a duel between the colleges after the festival to test the teaching achievements of the two of them... What do you think?"

Fudge looked at Louis with deep meaning in his eyes.

No matter how outstanding a student is, he cannot be a match for an adventurer and adult wizard like Lockhart.

People from the Muggle family should stay in the Muggle world honestly, go to the magic world to expand their influence, take this opportunity, even if they keep knocking on their outstretched hands, they must hurt them.

Fudge didn't take Louis seriously at all. For him, the forces standing behind Louis were what he needed to care most about.

After all, the Muggle world is still unwilling to be lonely. Do you want to reproduce the surrender of the Ministry of Magic like it was before the seventeenth century?Fudge is used to being the Minister of Magic, and he is used to saying the same thing, so how could he find himself a leader.

Lu Bu said it well, a man lives between heaven and earth, how can he be depressed for a long time?
If Fuji knew that there was such a person as Lu Bu, he might have made him a confidant.

"Minister Fudge's proposal is very good, and I think it's very reasonable." Lucius answered quickly, hearing the tone of his words, he was about to sit down and die first.

He was well aware of Louis' teaching ability, so he said that the piece of rotten wood in his house was about to be carved into a dragon by Louis.

Draco: Don't cue, even if you are my dad... oh dad, go on.

Others who opposed him couldn't find anything wrong, but everyone, except the four deans, Dumbledore, and Lucius who supported Louis, were doubting whether Louis could succeed, and those who opposed Louis were all waiting to see Louis joke.

But Louis put forward different opinions: "Principal, dean, directors, and...Mr. Minister." He deliberately put the minister at the end, "There are four colleges that applied, I can't favor this Bobby, right? Well, I suggest that I bring the second-year students from the four colleges, and after Christmas, Professor Lockhart can choose our opponents among the fifth-year students, what do you think, how about this proposal?"

This time, even Professor McGonagall, Professor Sprout and Professor Flitwick's expressions changed a little.

It's not that they don't trust Louis, but they don't trust the second-year students... The three-year-old gap is not so easy to make up.

They didn't know why Louis said that, but they instinctively felt that it must not be possible.

Professor Sprout even stopped him aloud: "No, Louis..."

But Fudge quickly finalized this sentence: "Okay! Mr. Mountbatten is really confident, so it's settled!"

Lockhart's expression was a bit bitter at first, after all, after the elf incident in Cornwall yesterday afternoon, he began to have doubts about his teaching ability - he has secretly decided that he will never bring living things to class again .

But when he heard Louis' almost death-defying request, he was immediately overjoyed.

Isn't this just coming to the pillow when you fall asleep? He was overjoyed. What is it called? This is called fifth grade vs. second grade. ! !

He looked at Louis with a wide smile, and he was so happy that this kind of free victory.

Fudge had hinted to him early on that the Ministry would offer him an honorary post after victory and a firm footing at Hogwarts.

For the vain Lockhart, this was a fatal temptation.

It's okay, not the temptation to go home.

"But what I want to add is that Hogwarts professors are not allowed to interfere with the teaching of the two." Fudge added.

Before coming here, Fudge had made a general survey of Lewis' teaching situation in the past year. Regarding Lewis' performance, he only regarded it as the secret help of Professor Snape, and did not associate it with Lewis himself.

This is actually not to blame for Fudge, no one would have imagined that a first-year freshman could be so defiant, it is completely unreasonable.

But many things in this world cannot be measured by common sense.

"Of course." Professor Dumbledore nodded in response to Fudge's request. He looked around and said in an unquestionable tone: "Then, under the witness of all the professors, school directors and officials from the Ministry of Magic, this The bet...is established."

"If Mr. Louis wins the bet, then he will become an associate professor of his school's Defense Against the Dark Arts class and be in charge of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class of this grade...The Ministry of Magic will not have any opinions." Minister of Magic Fudge laughed Hehe made the decision for Lockhart.

"If Mr. Lockhart wins, then I will never bring up the matter of teaching again during school." Louis said indifferently.

"It seems that you have nothing to lose if you lose. This is not fair to Professor Lockhart. After all... the spread of this matter will also affect his reputation." Fudge said with a smile.

Snape, who had been silent all this time, suddenly sarcastically said back: "If you can use your eyesight for a while, you may find that this match itself is unfair to Mr. Mountbatten."

In the end, it had to be Snape, who still protected his good student at critical moments.

Louis thought in his heart to thank the professor for his protection, and I will definitely work hard to persecute you in different ways.

Snape: Are you polite?

After hearing what Snape said, Fudge didn't see any embarrassment, and said without blushing and heartbeat: "Sorry, I just want to say that Mr. Mountbatten is so good that I ignored his age for a while. "

As he spoke, he smiled politely at Louis.

"Just remember, I hope you don't go back on your word." Snape put on a half-smile, and his tone was cold.

"Of course, of course, I will definitely not go back on my word." Lockhart took advantage and acted obediently: "Oh, if that's the case, it's really a bit of an invincible victory." He said, pretending to be reluctant Ziyang sighed: "But this is everyone's request, so I am not very good at refuting it, so I can only reluctantly respect everyone's opinions."

As he spoke, he winked at Louis triumphantly. From his point of view, this competition was my advantage and my chance of winning.
