Chapter 51: Lockhart's Secret (Part 2)

"Hogwarts's defense against the Dark Arts professor?" Guidro Lockhart sarcastically, "This is a cursed job; since decades ago, every teacher who accepted this job , It’s impossible to work for more than a year."
"Three serious injuries can only be spent in Saint Mungo for the rest of their lives; six became disabled; eleven have been unable to find a job all their lives after leaving this post... and one died, Quirinas- Quirrell, my prefect when I was studying in Ravenclaw, died unclearly, Dumbledore did not give any explanation... Even if you give me ten thousand gallons, I will not apply for this position. of!"
　　 "Then why are you still our defense against the Dark Arts teacher?" Jon had guessed something in his heart, but still had a confused expression on his face.
　　 "A terrible accident, almost a year ago." Lockhart curled his lips and said:
"I was probably crazy at the time. I actually wanted to write a book about'The History of Magic', and then I looked at a witch who lived in Godric Valley: Bathilda-Bashat...you can never dream. I thought that the ugly witch, who was sloppy and wore a patched robe, would actually be Albus Dumbledore’s friend; and, even more unfortunately, when I was about to use the Forgotten Curse on Bagshot, Dumbledore Just come to visit her!"
　　 Jon already felt silent for Lockhart in his heart, his experience was basically the same as he had guessed.
"I was caught by Dumbledore and got all the stolen goods!" Lockhart threw his suitcase aside, then collapsed on the sofa: "I thought Dumbledore would turn his head and send me to Aziz. Kaban, but he made a suggestion to me!"
　　 "Let you be a defense against the Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts?" Jon suppressed his smile.
"Yes!" Lockhart shook his head feebly: "If it weren't for this, the ghost would accept this position...I once thought about running away, but Dumbledore's magic was beyond my imagination, his informant All over Europe...I have nowhere to run!"
　　 "I also told Dumbledore that, except for the Forgotten Curse, my understanding of other spells is not good, and I can't teach his students too much."
"But Dumbledore told me that it’s not important. He told me that I don’t need to teach students anything at all, I only need to play the role of a harlequin; in simple terms, let myself look like a person who knows nothing except being famous. The dumb gun... at least it needs to behave like this in front of Harry Potter and successfully arouse his disgust!"
　　 While talking, Lockhart waved his magic wand. The pictures on the wall were taken off one by one, and then flew into his suitcase.
　　 "I got 7 Os in the OWLs exam that year. How could it be impossible for even a group of Cornish elves to deal with it, how could it not even use a disarming spell..." He seemed to be talking to himself.
　　 Jon understands everything now... No wonder Dumbledore chose Lockhart as a "quack" as the teacher of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class. It turned out to be part of his "Potter Development Plan".
　　Through a negative case and a personal statement, the young Harry became disgusted with him, and then became not addicted to his existing fame, and grew up quickly.
　　The truth is still quite reasonable, this is a student who wants to learn Defense Against the Dark Arts course after suffering this year.
　　 However, Jon suddenly realized another thing. "Professor Lockhart, Professor Dumbledore said that he would not send you to Azkaban, why..."
"I performed too much!" Guidro Lockhart sighed: "Many students and parents have expressed opinions on my teaching; because of the secret room attack, no one noticed me, but with Lettering’s monsters were wiped out, and more and more opposition letters and even shouting letters about me were sent to school."
"The parents of students at Hogwarts, there are some wizards with extraordinary status... They have their special channels and connections. There is no doubt that when I was exposed to the roaring letter, my secret was quickly Excavated it!"
"Dumbledore told me that many parents of students have already co-signed a letter to the Daily Prophet. The letter describes in detail the truth of my glorious deeds... In a few hours, the prophet of tomorrow After the daily newspaper is published, UU reading www.uukanshu.com all the wizards in Britain will know that I am just a liar who abuses the Forgotten Curse; the dementor sent by the Ministry of Magic to arrest me will also be on the way to Hogwarts ..."
　　 "So... Professor Lockhart... You..." Looking at the former Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher who was quickly packing up, Jon seemed to understand something.
　　 "Yes, I have to go!" Loha nodded characteristically: "Before the Ministry of Magic can react."
　　 "Where are you going?" Jon asked curiously.
"Temporarily go to France, romantic Paris, the beaches of the Seine River full of bikini beauties, it is quite suitable for me..." Lockhart said casually: "But if the dementors continue to hunt, they have to continue to struggle. Flee; Spain, Gibraltar, and even Algeria, dementors don’t like hot weather."
　　 He has packed up and saluted.
　　 "Then say goodbye, Jon, my student!" Gidro Lockhart walked to the door when he said the salute.
　　 Then, he stopped again.
"As a teacher, apart from signing a few names for the student and not teaching him anything useful, I am still quite ashamed..." Lockhart fumbled his pocket carefully, and finally found a white-skinned man. booklet.
　　 After hesitating for a few seconds, Lockhart threw the thin pamphlet over:
"This may be the only magic I am good at, although I don't know if it's useful for you!" Lockhart, who walked out of the office, showed his frivolous smile again: "But to me, it's no longer useful. ,Is not it?"
　　 After that, he disappeared into the darkness without looking back.
