Harry Potter’s Defense Professor

Chapter 27: Order of the Phoenix

There are still the last few days of the summer vacation, but as a teacher, Lockhart is also afraid of being attacked by little Crouch. After packing up the tent and leaving the Quidditch arena, he Apparated directly around Hogwarts, and then flew away. After walking for a while, we entered the castle.

As soon as he entered the office, he received a message from the principal, asking Lockhart to go to the principal's office.

Albus Dumbledore's headmaster's office seems to stay forever at a static point in time.

The roaring fireplace is always warm and sleepy, the portraits of the principals of the past, male and female, are dozing off in their old age, and the tables are filled with many indescribable gadgets... Walk in here again, Loja I felt deeply that my ignorance was exactly the same as when I first arrived eighteen years ago.

"Guidero," Dumbledore greeted him from behind his desk, "I heard that you met a real Death Eater at the World Cup. Are you alright, even Crouch has been suspended for review."

Dumbledore did not sit down with Lockhart across the desk in a routine manner, but rather attentively led him around the sofa by the coffee table, and poured Lockhart a cup of tea: "Would you like some sugar? Or a snack, Gilderoy?"

Lockhart waved his hand to refuse, took a sip of hot tea, and was thinking about why Dumbledore cared so much about him.

"Gidro." Seeing that Lockhart was silent, Dumbledore called his name: "Time flies so fast. I vaguely remember what you looked like twelve years ago; and now, you are getting more and more Like a wizard who can take on a big job."

I don't understand why he was approaching for no reason. Lockhart looked up at Dumbledore's eyes, and found that the eyes of the forget-me-not color were as pale as transparent - Dumbledore was old, and the 12 years were not for nothing. The mainstay is left nicked.

"Guidero, what happened after the game?" Dumbledore seemed to ask this unconsciously.

Lockhart seemed to be touched, and had an urge to tell the old man everything, but years of confidentiality made him choose something that was not very important to answer.

"At the time, to avoid the chaotic parade, I was hiding in the woods with some students." Lockhart didn't know how to explain that he wanted to kill Barty Jr. He had to bypass the point. "Then, Barty Crouch Jr. The Dark Mark was released on the side. I rushed over and fought him, but let him run."

Dumbledore looked at Lockhart through his glasses, as if in disbelief: "Let him run away?"

Lockhart suddenly couldn't hold back his anger: "Principal! Do you suspect that I am part of the Death Eaters? If it wasn't for your little savior and his friends who wanted to intervene, I would have killed him..." Lockhart Te realized that something was wrong with him, that he had always been calm and calm in front of others, never hysterical.

"Gidro, don't be impulsive, it's not my savior, it's our student." Dumbledore hurriedly signaled him to believe in Lockhart.

Dumbledore seemed to deliberately want Lockhart to speak, but this was what Lockhart was trying to avoid. Lockhart realized that something was wrong. I am afraid that the tea just now was mixed with Veritaserum.

Dumbledore continued to induce Lockhart: "Gidro, the mysterious man seems to be coming back, what are your plans?"

Lockhart couldn't hold back his anger any longer: "Dumbledore, I have no interest in joining You-Know-Who's camp or turning to you to fight You-Know-Who! I hate My-Know-Who's view of Muggles and half-blood wizards, but I only If I want to prevent the resurrection of the mysterious man, if I fail, I will hand over my resignation letter without hesitation, and then leave the country. Although I cherish this job, I love my life more! Books cheat money, but also live!"

Lockhart roared: "Also, I don't understand, what I did, I need you to come and use Veritaserum to deal with me!"

........

"I'm sorry to have to be so offended." Dumbledore looked at Lockhart firmly with thin blue eyes, "But which side you stand on is very important, especially at this critical moment."

"I'm not standing either! Are you satisfied now? Mr. Principal." Lockhart leaned on the back of the sofa and sneered, "Would you like me to lift the Occlumency and show you everything about me?"

"I have to apologize again to Gilderoy, these inappropriate methods are all because of trusting you," Dumbledore's voice was still so calm, "I built a small club for some like-minded wizards to communicate with each other and communicate with each other. Help each other, in order to maintain purity, everyone who joins has to go through some small tests, not against you." After a pause, he seemed to want to explain. "Actually, everyone who is tested has gained my trust before the test."

"Hahaha, are you someone who hasn't practiced Occlumency, stayed in your office for a while, and unknowingly had a meal of Legilimency, and then felt trusted and invited to join the meeting, and then practiced Occlumency person, you're going to have a glass of Veritaserum, and then be flattered to say everything and join your little club?" Lockhart stood up, "I'm not that cheap! With all due respect, your personal charm is probably a little less than you think!"

Dumbledore's face is indeed very thick, no matter how cynical Lockhart is, Dumbledore just plays his cards according to his routine: "So, Gilderoy, can I have the honor to invite you to join me now, little club?"

"Don't even think about it! I haven't forgiven you yet! I don't want to be sent by someone who offends my dignity!"

"No no no, Gilderoy, you misunderstood. This organization does not have a relationship between superiors and subordinates. It just simply helps each other, discusses each other, and sometimes provides each other with some small conveniences. It is definitely not a relationship between superiors and subordinates." The implication is that if Lockhart joins, Dumbledore will facilitate some of the things he does without asking why. "At the same time, if you have any reason to leave, the club will never force you to stay."

Dumbledore took out a small note, walked around the table and handed it to Lockhart: "This is where the members often meet and communicate together. I hope you can attend the next meeting."

"I haven't agreed yet!" Lockhart was dumbfounded by Dumbledore's shamelessness.

"Yes, yes, but I think you should have made a decision in your heart." Even though he said that, Dumbledore still maintained the gesture of handing out the note.

Lockhart grabbed the note, walked to the door angrily, pushed open the door and turned back and said, "Mr. Headmaster, if my life is threatened, I will quit immediately and leave Hogwarts, UU reading. www.uukanshu.com When the time comes, you can continue to find a Defence Against the Dark Arts professor for another year." He left without looking back.

Dumbledore said loudly from behind, "Gildrow, I look forward to developing a steadfast friendship with you!"

After making sure Dumbledore couldn't see himself, Lockhart put down his angry expression, took out the note, and a phoenix was flying back and forth on the note: 12 Grimmauld Place. This note exudes a touch of magic, and Lockhart knows that through the hands of Dumbledore, the secrecy, he has now become one of the insiders of the Order of the Phoenix secrets. It is estimated that this note is not simple. The Order of the Phoenix Members communicate with Dumbledore through this note, which is a text version of a double-sided mirror.

Hehe, it is indeed a good way to maintain the purity of the Order of the Phoenix. No wonder the Order of the Phoenix has never produced traitors. In order to deal with Voldemort, I really don't want any face.

Lockhart at first thought that Dumbledore was suspicious of some of his unpredictable actions, but later realized that this was to determine his own camp. Fortunately, Lockhart had an idea, pretending to be wronged and innocent, and interrupted. Dumbledore's continued interrogation, otherwise it is difficult to guarantee that everything will be asked by the old guy. Now that the effect of Veritaserum is still there, Lockhart just wants to find a place to wait for the effect of the medicine to pass, and even meets Professor McGonagall on the road. No greeting.

"I didn't ask anything, just let him go?"

"Severus, we just need him to be on our side and to contribute, that's enough, some secrets are acceptable." Dumbledore sat at his desk, "I really hope you Get along better with him, you haven't made friends since Lily."

"Just take care of your savior!" The man in black also angrily left the principal's office.
