Master Druid at Hogwarts

Chapter 180 Gilderoy Lockhart
While Fish was rolling in the Sorting Hat, Dumbledore hurried back.

Although Fish has been given permission to freely enter the principal's office, Dumbledore will still be reminded when he enters the principal's office.

If it was normal, Dumbledore would not rush back in such a hurry, but the problem is...

School starts today!

If Fish took the Sorting Hat away and the opening ceremony at night couldn't go on, that would be a lot of fun.

Although Fisher is now much more sensible, he has a criminal record after all, and Dumbledore has to guard against it.

"Meow~" (=ΦωΦ=)

Hearing the movement of Dumbledore entering the door, Fish poked his head out of the sorting hat and greeted him.

"Hello, Fish."

Dumbledore responded with a smile, completely unable to see the anxious look before.

He walked to the desk, opened the drawer at hand, and took out the pile of cockroaches to distribute to Fish as usual.

"Come and have some snacks, I still have a lot here."

"Meow!"

Fish immediately jumped out of the sorting hat, slapped the pile of cockroaches in Dumbledore's hand onto the table with one paw, watched them scurrying around with six legs, then held them down with one paw, dragged them back, and open.

After repeated several times, the pile of cockroaches was tossed so that they could not move before Fish picked them up, crunched them in his mouth and began to chew.

After patiently watching Fish eat the pile of cockroaches, Dumbledore asked, "Why are you free to come to me today?"

Fish turned into a cat-man form, sat cross-legged on the table, picked up the Sorting Hat and put it on his head, and replied: "I'm here to play with Fox and the Sorting Hat, tonight Fish should not be able to attend the sorting ceremony, right?"

He still remembered that when the semester started last year, those senior students did not sit with the freshmen, but sat in the auditorium early, and only a small group of them wore the sorting hat.

"I see."

Dumbledore was very relieved. Fish meant that he obviously didn't plan to make trouble at tonight's opening ceremony. It seems that Professor McGonagall's education has been quite effective.

So he took out more snacks and distributed them to Fish, while chatting.

"Have you enjoyed your summer vacation?"

"Happy meow! The time is too short, Albus, can't you book a longer vacation time meow?" ω

"Hahahahaha! This is not okay, although I had the same idea as you when I was a student."

"Aren't you the principal, meow? Fish already knows what the principal means, that this school is your territory, meow."

"Oh, there's still a difference..."

Dumbledore, who had long wanted to train Fisch as his successor, took the opportunity to explain to him how the entire school operates and the concept of a school board.

Naturally, Fish was not interested at all.

"Then it's really meaningless for you to be the principal." Fisher, who had been moving around in the process, commented with disdain at the end: "You have to do so many boring things?" .”

"Compared to most other professions, being the headmaster of Hogwarts is already very interesting." Dumbledore was not in a hurry, he had plenty of time to slowly interest Fish, "for example, in the process I can meet a lovely and interesting student like you, Fisch."

"But Fish was clearly captured by you, meow!" (ˇˇ)
Fish suddenly remembered being bullied by the bad old man in front of him, and immediately stood up from the table, baring his teeth at him.

"You bad old man, you must be trying to trick Fish Meow again! Fish will not be fooled!" (●ΦДΦ●)
After speaking, he jumped off the table and ran out the door...with the sorting hat on his head.

"Alas... children nowadays, their thinking jumps so fast... I'm getting old, I can't keep up..."

Dumbledore shook his head with a smile, then moved his fingers lightly, and the Sorting Hat on Fish's head flew back into his hand.

After Fish left, the group of principals who were pretending to be asleep opened their eyes one after another, and began to express their opinions one after another.

Mainly, Phineas, the only Slytherin headmaster, has a lot of opinions on the heir chosen by Dumbledore, and has been trying to persuade other headmasters to oppose Dumbledore's approach.

It's just that most of the other headmasters don't care. A few headmasters like Dai Lisi Dewente who value Fisch's special spells are very supportive of Dumbledore's idea.

After Dumbledore refuted Phineas speechless again, it was almost time for lunch, so he left the office and came to the auditorium on the first floor.

At this time, several people were already sitting in the auditorium. Because there were not many people, everyone did not sit in their respective positions as usual, but sat on the same long table.

Fish, who was the most active in eating, was naturally there, as well as Professor McGonagall and the deans of the other three colleges. They also came to the school in advance to make preparations.

In addition, there are school staff such as Hagrid, Filch, Mrs. Pince and Mrs. Pomfrey, and some professors who usually live in Hogwarts.

In addition to these familiar faces, there is also a relatively unfamiliar handsome blond guy, who is the newly hired Defense Against the Dark Arts professor this year—Gilderoy Lockhart.

At this moment, he was talking endlessly, completely ignoring the disgusted expressions of other people around him, and his body movements and facial expressions were very exaggerated, looking like an actor in a stage play.

Fish, on the other hand, sat beside him with great interest and listened to Lockhart's bragging, and was amused by his expressions and movements from time to time.

Professor McGonagall hesitated to speak with a complicated expression, for fear that his cat would be spoiled by Lockhart.

Although Professor McGonagall has slightly changed his opinion of him because of the books Lockhart wrote, but his vain temperament has not changed at all. Professor McGonagall does not want Fish to become like Lockhart in the future.

"It seems that everyone is here," Dumbledore's arrival interrupted Lockhart's speech, he looked around with a smile, and then said: "Then, let's have dinner."

Following Dumbledore's order, the house elves put the lunch they had prepared on the dining table, but some of the dishes were obviously different in style, and they all gathered in front of Fish.

"Oh? Chinese food?"

The well-informed Dumbledore recognized the completely different styles of food on the table at a glance. He licked his lips and said with emotion: "I haven't eaten Chinese food for many years. I remember the last time I tasted them. It was more than 40 years ago."

And at this time, Lockhart found another topic to show off.

"Oh, Chinese food, this is a good thing," he said with a big smile, showing his white teeth, "If you have read my book "A Year with the XZ Snowman", you will know that I was traveling in Asia I have been here for a long time, and I have tasted a lot of Chinese delicacies during the period..."

He told how he hunted a vulture and exchanged it with Tibetans for yak meat and kumiss.

However, what Lockhart didn't know was that Vulture was a divine bird in XZ. If he really did this, he would only be kicked out.

Fortunately, everyone here except Dumbledore is not familiar with these things, so no one can expose him.

"Well, Gerald," Dumbledore interrupted Lockhart's bragging again, "it's better to be quiet while enjoying the food."

His voice was not loud, but managed to shut Lockhart's mouth.

But Dumbledore did not keep quiet as he himself said, he muttered with some doubts: "When did the elves in our school learn how to cook Chinese food?"

"Comey made it for Fish! Sister Jiuyue sent me the recipe meow!" (●ΦωΦ●)
Fish shook the cat's ears and replied proudly, while Professor McGonagall explained to Dumbledore what happened in a low voice.

"That's right." Dumbledore stroked his beard and said cheerfully, "Then why not let the students have a taste of exotic flavors at today's dinner party."

Just as Professor McGonagall thought, Dumbledore, who is rich and powerful, would not care about the food expenses. He directly waved his hand and replaced part of the food for the dinner.

This is because some students may not be used to Chinese food, otherwise he would really like to have a pure Chinese dinner.

Of course, Fish didn't care about Dumbledore's decision, since Comey would give him some trouble anyway.

After lunch, Fish did not leave with Hagrid to play in the Forbidden Forest, but stayed in the hall, continued to listen to Lockhart's bragging, and asked him about some textbooks from time to time...

Professor McGonagall began to regret why he had read Lockhart's story to Fish.

After Lockhart found out that Fish was actually his loyal reader, he played even more vigorously. He spittled and made up his fantasy experience, which made Fish's eyes shine.

Now Professor McGonagall regretted it even more. If the previous seven books changed her view of Lockhart, then his bragging now made Professor McGonagall sober again.

Because there are some very low-level flaws in what he said just now, which is not at the level of Lockhart in the book at all, but it is in line with Professor McGonagall's views on him all the time...

So there must be something wrong with the content of those books!

Although she didn't know exactly what was going on, Professor McGonagall didn't intend to let Lockhart continue to abuse her kitten, just when she was about to step forward to drag Fish away...

"Girod, you are amazing meow!" (●ω●)
Fish looked at Lockhart with twinkling eyes, and his tail flicked rapidly behind him.

Professor McGonagall, who was still looking sad, was slightly taken aback when he saw this, and stopped in his tracks.

Professor McGonagall, who has had an indissoluble bond with cats since he was a child, and adopted Fish for three years, will naturally not misunderstand that Fish wagging his tail is expressing his love for Lockhart.

Gradually, a meaningful smile appeared on Professor McGonagall's face.
