Harry Potter’s Defense Professor

Chapter 3 Start of School

Lockhart sat in the auditorium for the opening ceremony.

The students whispered below, and most of them looked up at Lockhart curiously and inquisitively - another Defence Against the Dark Arts professor, who was still the famous Gilderoy Lockhart, who didn't know he could. How long to last in the curse.

On Lockhart's left sat Snape, frowning as in the book and looking a little absent-minded. On the right is Professor Flitwick. In order to make himself look less special, the professor with goblin blood has a thick book under his butt, which makes Lockhart very puzzled. Why doesn't he just make the chair higher Woolen cloth?

At this time, the door of the auditorium opened, and Professor McGonagall entered with a group of children. The scene was like a mother bird leading a group of chicks. The little ones were all curious, and some Muggle children were even trembling. .

Then the hat began to sing, and Lockhart finally knew why he was casting a "close earplugs" spell on himself when he met Snape at the door of the auditorium. But now that the freshmen have all come in, he must maintain the prestige of the teacher. So just be patient!

"Welcome to you," said Dumbledore, candles gleaming on his beard. "Welcome back to Hogwarts in the new school year, I have something to say," Dumbledore cleared his throat and continued. " We are delighted to welcome a new teacher to our school this year."

"Professor Gilderoy Lockhart, your new Defence Against the Dark Arts professor, is an excellent wizard, and I am delighted that he will return to teach at Hogwarts ten years after graduation."

Lockhart stood up and gestured to everyone, to the cheers of a large crowd of girls and fans.

Then there was the sorting house, and Lockhart watched as the students were called, then came out, put on the sorting hat, and then the hat called out the name of the house, and he remembered his experience.

Lockhart was born into a mixed-race family: his mother was a witch, his father was a Muggle, and he had two older sisters. He was the only child in the family who showed a talent for magic, and a smart, beautiful little boy, who was unsparingly favored by his mother. Coupled with his realization that he is a wizard who is different from his sisters, vanity spreads in his heart like a weed with evil flowers.

Young Lockhart was accepted into Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, but Lockhart had never imagined that the school he was going to was going to be filled with witches and wizards like him, many of whom were more powerful than himself. . (In fact, he expected himself to be at Hogwarts like the one he experienced in Harry Potter - walking down the hallway surrounded by excited whispers about his magic. And this scene It didn't happen to him, because every student who gets into Hogwarts, before enrolling, will have a similar magic.)

This is not to say that Lockhart is an ordinary wizard. In fact, his teachers thought he was above average in terms of intelligence and ability, and that with hard work he could have a career, if not the ambitions that he swept up among his classmates (becoming the youngest person in the UK). The Minister of Magic) was assigned to Ravenclaw and Lockhart quickly achieved good grades in his studies, but the "do it or don't" arrogance of his nature was always torn. It made him feel more and more dissatisfied with himself. Gradually, he used his talents to take shortcuts and to be lazy. He studied hard not to improve himself, but to earn attention for himself, and he longed for various awards.

He lobbied the principal to start a school newspaper, because nothing made him happier than seeing his name and photo printed. He wasn't very popular, but he still achieved his primary goal of getting to know him by everyone in the school, through some repeated, high-profile "deeds." Lockhart finally left Hogwarts, much to the relief of the teachers and janitors. But soon more and more stories of his overseas deeds came. His work in distant places, dedicated to eliminating all kinds of dangers and dark creatures, all proved his extraordinary courage and tenacity. The truth is, Lockhart has finally found his true career. He was never a bad wizard, just too lazy. He decided to focus his talents in one direction: memory magic. He perfected this complex magic, then found a dozen great and brave wizards and witches, successfully modified their memories and stole their heroic exploits. After each "adventure", he would return home to publish a new book, a rich and informative retelling of "his" heroic feats. Then, he had a dream. Of course, it can be said that he was crossed by the person in the dream. He now has memories of two lives.

The sorting was still going on, and a man came over to give Snape a newspaper, and he got up and left the auditorium immediately after reading it. After the meeting, the principal and McGonagall also left.

Lockhart picked up the newspaper and read, "The flying car that puzzles Muggles", and below is a flying car flying happily in the newspaper. Oh poor Harry.
