Hogwarts, a Scholar Becomes a God

Vol 4 Chapter 2: A different Lockhart

Update: Lockhart stared at Harry for a few minutes before finally recognizing the famous savior, then jumped to his feet and shouted cheerfully.

"Oh, Merlin's beard, isn't that Harry Potter?"

Harry's heart tensed even after hearing those words many times.

The crowd in front of him took the initiative to move out of the way, all staring at him at the same time, whispering excitedly.

He saw that Lockhart, who seemed to be famous, rushed over, grabbed his arm tightly, and pulled himself to the front of the crowd, and the audience burst into a burst of warm applause.

Harry felt a fever on his face, which must have been very red, and Lockhart, who was beside him, held his hand and asked the photographer from the Daily Prophet just now to quickly take a picture.

The short wizard frantically pressed the shutter repeatedly, framing the scene in front of him in the camera, and bursts of purple smoke floated over the Weasleys who were standing beside him, causing them to keep coughing.

"What a beautiful smile, Harry!" Lockhart smiled and wrapped his arms around Harry's shoulders, showing off his gleaming white teeth, "We can be on the front page of the Daily Prophet together tomorrow. "

Clark stood on the second floor and saw this scene clearly, which made him have to spend more effort to restrain himself from laughing.

Although Harry didn't see Clark, he was equally uncomfortable being stared at by those around him like monkeys in a zoo. So he tried to struggle a bit, but couldn't break free from Lockhart's hands.

And when Lockhart finally let go of Harry's hand, he felt his fingers go numb. Harry wanted to slip back to the Weasleys, but Lockhart didn't seem to want to let him go, and still put an arm on his shoulder, holding him firmly beside him.

"Ladies and gentlemen!" Maybe Lockhart's interest was soared by today's unexpected situation, or maybe it was the interview just now that made him feel sullen. Anyway, he was like a man standing on the stage at this time. The actor waved his hands vigorously and shouted to make everyone quiet.

"What an extraordinary moment, I want to use this wonderful occasion to announce a small thing, which I have been suppressing for some days and have not said."

Among the people present, perhaps only Clark could guess what he wanted to say.

To be honest, he was quite critical of Dumbledore's decision at first. After all, as a course for black magic, Defense Against the Dark Arts is still very important at Hogwarts.

Even if there were rumors that the position had been cursed by Voldemort, so that the teachers in each class didn't stay long, that was not the reason Dumbledore hired Lockhart to teach Defence Against the Dark Arts.

It can be seen from the original work that this is a beautiful embroidered pillow. Maybe he can be a good star, but he is definitely not a good teacher.

If he made this choice just to warn Harry so that he would not indulge in a false reputation, then Dumbledore's behavior was indeed a bit too irresponsible.

Today, he seems to have devoted all his attention to the Savior, and the original prophecy has become his life-saving straw, which has caused him to ignore other students.

"Perhaps Dumbledore, who is getting older and older, has also begun to be on the verge of spiritual collapse under the influence of the magic of chaos, falling into a more paranoid situation." Clark pondered secretly in his heart, "With his At this age, and still maintaining such a powerful magic power, the burden on oneself will only become heavier and heavier, if you are not careful, you may even slip into the abyss and become a veritable White Devil King."

Not to mention Clark's thoughts, Lockhart continued his performance downstairs.

"When young Harry walked into the Lichen Bookstore today, he just wanted to buy my autobiography, and I was willing to give it to him for free on the spot, along with my entire set of books."

There was another round of applause.

"But he doesn't know," Lockhart went on, shaking Harry so that his glasses slipped up the tip of his nose, "he'll soon get something more valuable than my 'Magic Me,' actually He and his classmates will get a real magical me. Yes, ladies and gentlemen. It is with great pleasure and pride that I announce that this September, I will be the Defence Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Art teacher."

As soon as the news came out, the crowd once again burst into an enthusiastic response, they applauded and cheered, because these people also included Hogwarts students and their parents.

Some Lockhart mother fans even said to their children: "It's great! Baby, you are so lucky to have Lockhart as a teacher, and you will perform well in school and try to get a few more autographed photos. ."

Of course, Clark was also disturbed by this huge movement. He took a deep look at Lockhart again. The special bewitching fluctuations in the air, in his new [Psion]. In the eyes, it can be said that it is like a palm pattern, which is clear at a glance.

Yes, if he had a lot of opinions on Dumbledore's appointment before, then today after a formal contact with Lockhart, he has become quite critical of Dumbledore's decision.

Because Clark found that he was still influenced by the original prejudice, some preconceived. In other words, Rowling is a Muggle, she knows the magic of a hammer!

Just like Quirrell last semester~www.readwn.com~ Gilderoy Lockhart, who graduated from Ravenclaw with good grades, is also not easy.

Although he looks like an embroidered pillow and only rhetoric, when interviewing him, Clark quickly found that several of his psionic powers did not work for him.

At that time, he originally wanted to use psionic power to get a bit of secret information out of Lockhart's mouth, but it turned out whether it was level 1 [Charming Humans], [Suppressing Morale], or level 2 [Detect Thought]. , all failed in Lockhart.

No, it can't be said to be completely ineffective. After all, Clark also sensed some of Lockhart's thoughts later, but it was these detected information that made Clark more sure that the so-called big liar in the original book, In the real world of magic, it's definitely not easy.

In fact, this is also normal. The original book is a fairy tale written for children after all, and the supporting characters in it are more of a symbol of facial makeup. Like Lockhart, he may just have the effect of a harlequin, a warning to children not to lie and be arrogant and indulge in a false reputation.

But anyone who has had social experience knows that a person cannot be just a simple side!
