Hogwarts Advanced Guide

Chapter 72 Gilderoy Lockhart
Gilderoy Lockhart poked his head out of the door, and Hera recognized him instantly.

No way, his blond hair is too dazzling.

Well, it's just his big white teeth that stand out even at night.

"Professor Dumbledore?" He seemed a little surprised, but he opened the door anyway, "I thought you would come over later."

"Oh, the plan can't keep up with the changes." Dumbledore explained insincerely, "I hope our presumptuous interruption won't bother you."

Lockhart laughed easily, without the impatience he had just heard the knock on the door.

Hera kept his performance silently in her heart, and Lockhart was much better than herself in this respect.

Poke face!

"Come in, I've just enjoyed dinner with my family." Lockhart gave a perfect smile, at least that's how Hera looked.

Hera followed Dumbledore into the room. The room was not big, and the whole picture could be seen clearly at a glance. Although it was a bit dilapidated, it was extremely warmly furnished, and the warm oil lamp reflected the family atmosphere.

On the desk next to it, there are still straw papers spread out, and quills are randomly placed beside it.

"The house is a bit messy, I'm really sorry." Although Lockhart said sorry, he didn't move a step, obviously still very curious about the purpose of Dumbledore's arrangement.

Dumbledore looked around, and suddenly laughed, "I didn't expect you to be so hardworking, and you still insist on creating even during the Christmas holiday."

"Hehe, it's just a habit. When faced with danger, those horrible monsters won't kill me just because of Christmas." Lockhart said loudly, as if he was very happy that Dumbledore found out that he had left behind hard work.

However, the complaints in Hera's heart did not stop in the slightest - Dumbledore had said that Lockhart was a liar.

"Very good vigilance, Gilderoy, you are as rigorous as ever." Dumbledore praised casually.

His appearance even made Hera a little surprised.

Is there such a big gap between people?
Dumbledore was not so 'friendly' when he treated him.

"Actually, the reason why I came to you is that I hope that in the new year, you can be responsible." Dumbledore pulled a chair and sat down, introducing the purpose of his trip.

Among them, Dumbledore mentioned Harry in a particularly veiled way. On time, Lockhart can teach Harry, who will be a second-year student next year, and being the teacher of "Famous Harry" can make him more popular than doing other things.

Hera watched from the side, looking at Lockhart's idiotic appearance, feeling disgusted for a while.

This is the man I regarded as my 'enemy for life' before?

Unexpectedly, he is not only a liar, but also a villain who chases fame and fortune.

It doesn't look like me, I really love education.

After almost 10 minutes, Dumbledore was a little tired from talking, and Hera promptly brought a cup of hot tea.

Dumbledore took the teacup and thanked softly, "Thank you, Hera."

Lockhart let out a strange cry, looked at Hera in surprise, and asked in disbelief, "Who are you?"

"Huh???" Dumbledore almost spit out a mouthful of tea, and Hera also tried her best to hold back her anger, didn't Lockhart notice herself?
His vigilance is really 'good'!

Hera glanced at Dumbledore coldly. When you flatter others, can you also be realistic?
Also, is this Lockhart even inferior to Quirrell?

"He is Professor Hera Lestrange. I may have blocked him just now. You didn't notice him." Dumbledore put down his teacup and patiently helped Lockhart.

"Oh, it must be because I relaxed when I got home." Lockhart's expression didn't change at all, and he followed Dumbledore's words and found the steps shamelessly. "If it was in Romania, he would have been subdued by me immediately."

"." Hera silently poured the last cup of tea from the teapot into her own cup, and drank it in one gulp.

Let you blow, you can blow hard!
Dumbledore will find you out anyway!
Dumbledore is cheating on you.

Are you still showing off your power here?

Fortunately, Lockhart agreed in the end, although he expressed his curiosity about the whereabouts of the incumbent Professor Quirrell. After all, Hogwarts now has a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. Why did he invite himself in such a hurry?

There must be fraud in it!

However, thinking that he could add a "Boy Who Lived - Harry Potter's Tutor" in front of his long title, the possible pitfalls in it were immediately forgotten by Lockhart.

"In that case, let's leave first, it's already very late." Dumbledore got up, looking at Hera who was already snoring on the back of the chair, he reached out and patted helplessly.

Hera's body shook violently, and then she quickly pulled out her wand for defense, and looked around vigilantly, until she confirmed that it was Dumbledore beside her, and then she relaxed.

"Uh" Lockhart's mouth twitched slightly, even his big white teeth were not so eye-catching at this moment.

"Okay, Hera, it's time for us to leave." Dumbledore straightened his cloak and walked towards the door.

Lockhart also stood up quickly, and said politely, "Aren't you really going to take a rest? It's already very late."

"Oh, no, Gilderoy, it was because it was too late that we had to leave first." Dumbledore said rightly.

"In this case, I won't keep you. I hope to enjoy dinner with you at Hogwarts this time next year." Gildero bowed slightly, took two quick steps, and opened the door for Dumbledore.

Hera followed Dumbledore without saying a word, until the two left the small courtyard of Lockhart's house, Hera couldn't help asking: "Professor, with your reputation, you can easily expose his lies, right? Asking him to teach at Hogwarts. With all due respect, it's too ill-considered."

Dumbledore stopped, and by the moonlight, Hera could see the wry smile on the old man's face.

"Hera, you really don't think it's easy to find a candidate for the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor?" Dumbledore sighed for a long time, and the curse in the dark really gave him a headache.

There are always all kinds of accidents happening to the Defense Against the Dark Arts professors every year. Anyway, none of them can persist for more than a year.

It all started when he rejected Tom Riddle's request.

Since that year, Dumbledore has been struggling to find a suitable wizard to be a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts.

Even the wizarding world has spread a strange legend-the position of Hogwarts Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is cursed.
