Chapter 30: Food and shelter are not needed to complete the work
In the history of Hogwarts, there is a precedent for hiring professors from Azka class, but on the first day of school, he was taken away by the Ministry of Magic without even signing a contract. Lockhart still got into the sedan chair as an older girl -
—First time.
Lockhart was taken away by the Ministry of Magic officials with a shocked look on his face. He spoke several times to say something, but in the end he couldn't say anything: He couldn't say that I was not the one driving the car, but that I had tampered with it.
The memories of two little wizards, right?
After taking Lockhart away, Professor McGonagall looked at Harry and Ron and said, "Sit down." Professor McGonagall pointed to the chairs in the room and asked them to sit down first - even in Snape's office.
There are several chairs arranged.
"Tell me what happened?" Professor McGonagall's glasses flashed with an ominous light. Dumbledore and Snape stood aside without saying a word. Dumbledore's expression was extremely serious, although Snape
He still had a dead face, but there was still a faint emotion of gloating about his misfortune.
"It's the dividing wall at King's Cross, it -"
"Professor McGonagall, we have no other option. We can't get on the train."
The two scrambled to explain to Professor McGonagall.
"So why don't you send a letter? Potter, you have an owl, right? Even if you don't do anything, just wait for Mr. and Mrs. Weasley to come back?" Professor McGonagall said coldly.
Ron and Harry were stunned for a moment. Indeed, the two solutions given by Professor McGonagall were much more reliable than driving directly there.
"What's outrageous is that you blindly followed Lockhart without any ability to think independently," Professor McGonagall said.
Harry's whole body froze, and the expression on Dumbledore's side made him sit on pins and needles. He would rather Dumbledore yell at them angrily, or even slap him in the face. These actions are better than just observing them quietly.
It feels much better to be with them.
"Tell me about the process." Dumbledore stared at him and Ron for a while, his expression becoming more and more serious, and finally he spoke after a period of silence.
Harry told Dumbledore everything he remembered like he was pouring beans out of a bamboo tube.
After he finished speaking, he collapsed on the stool. Ron next to him was desperate. He was ready to pack his bags and go home.
"Are we going to be fired?"
"Not today. But next time something like this happens, it won't necessarily happen. Professor Lockhart must bear the main responsibility. He failed to fulfill the obligations of an adult wizard, but you must also realize your mistakes." Deng
Bullido rubbed his eyes and decided the fate of Harry and Ron: serious warning, parents notified, no points deducted, and no confinement.
Snape's expression now was as if he had been asked by his boss to work overtime for free during the holidays.
"Professor Dumbledore! Not only did they ignore the law, they also broke-"
Dumbledore shook his head, "It's not their fault. A wrong example sometimes makes people follow blindly. Many times adult wizards, including me, make such mistakes."
He looked at Harry, "Flawed people can also be your teachers, but you can still learn a lot from them, such as what kind of things you shouldn't do and what kind of people you shouldn't be."
After saying this, he left Snape's office.
He enthusiastically invited Snape to taste a dessert with him. Snape showed an extremely unwilling expression. Although he was extremely reluctant, he was pulled out of the office by Dumbledore.
After Snape and Dumbledore left, Professor McGonagall's expression was no longer so stern. She and Harry chatted about today's sorting, and also provided them with a plate of sandwiches and a jug of pumpkin juice. Settlement
After the two of them got along, Professor McGonagall left.
Of course, with the tacit cooperation of several people, Gryffindor House was not deducted dozens of points at the opening ceremony.
…
This year's sorting ceremony was very strange, with interruptions and absent-mindedness being the norm.
Before the sorting ceremony, students throughout the school were discussing "flying cars", especially when the little wizards discovered that Harry and Ron did not appear at the Gryffindor table.
The two of them flew to the school in a car.
When the opening banquet started, the staff table seemed a little sparse - Snape, the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor and Filch were not there, and Professor McGonagall and Dumbledore were also a little absent-minded. Later, these two people were even more absent.
He left directly.
Almost no one cares about the results of the branching. It is not that the Immortal Sect is robbing disciples with the potential to cultivate immortality, and there will be no young wizards such as the "Ancient Holy Body" and the "Double Eyed One" in the British magic world. This has caused the deans of the four major colleges to
However, when Peggy was assigned to Ravenclaw, the little wizards in Ravenclaw still applauded warmly: the more beautiful girls, the better.
Peggy's sorting process was as confusing as her choice of wand. The Sorting Hat thought for five minutes before sorting her into Ravenclaw.
The next day, everyone was shocked to learn that Professor Lockhart had been taken away by the Ministry of Magic! And the news even made the front page of the Daily Prophet.
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and Professor Lockhart became the center of the whirlpool of public opinion - not only inside the school, but also outside the school. As the parties concerned, Harry and Ron were naturally inevitably questioned again and again by curious little wizards.
Ron was a little shy at first and stuttered when telling the story.
But after a morning, the adventures of him, Harry and Professor Lockhart had a strong feeling of "The Adventures of Hal Roger". If it weren't for a yelling letter from Mrs. Weasley at lunch, Rowland
Well, maybe I can become an excellent storyteller or writer in the future.
In the next few days, Professor Lockhart's news was on the front page every day. This way of making headlines was something he had never expected.
The Ministry of Magic also dealt with it very neatly: the matters committed on Wednesday were tried on Friday, without any sloppiness.
He didn't really send Lockhart in. After all, he was a professor at Hogwarts and a best-selling author. He just fined Lockhart a full three thousand gold galleons as compensation, but the money was handed over to the frontline.
When the amnestics personnel got their hands on it, there were only one hundred galleons left.
Lockhart bled violently, but he was in the headlines for three days in a row. Three thousand galleons bought three days of headlines. Only Lockhart himself knows whether it was worth it - Arthur won the "Daily Prophet"
News about a trip to Egypt with the Golden Galleons Prize also made headlines. The grand prize includes 700 Golden Galleons.
No matter what, Lockhart still missed the blessing of living in a single room in Azkaban and having food and lodging included in the British Ministry of Magic. Tom was a kind boy and just wanted to provide his professor with food, food and lodging without having to work.
An iron rice bowl, let him go in and concentrate on writing.
