Hogwarts: From The Obscure To The Dark Lord

"Professor Lockhart is holding a dueling club!"

"What's the dueling club for? For dueling?"

"It seems interesting."

The young wizards were very interested in the dueling club, and despite Professor "Lockhart"'s mediation, the confrontation between Gryffindor and the young wizards of Slytherin was still very bad.

In fact, this kind of contradiction has existed for a long time, between Gryffindor and Slytherin, between pure-blood wizards and non-pure-blood wizards, it is just that there is a lack of an introduction. Once the introduction is ignited, the contradiction will completely erupt.

"Everyone heard it, Professor Lockhart is going to open a dueling club, if you have any grievances and conflicts, you can settle them at the dueling club activities and don't make any small moves in private.

Toby said to the crowd.

"Don't do something like sneak attacking a classmate who is alone. This kind of thing will not only make people shameless, but also be retaliated by others afterwards."

"If you want a duel, you must do it in an aboveboard manner. Sneak attacks are absolutely not allowed. If anyone has any opinions, please come to me."

Jamie also told the crowd.

Whether it is Toby or Jamie, they are quite prestigious among the students in the same grade. As for the reason, it is very simple, it is two words - strength.

In this world, whether it is Muggles or wizards, they all respect the strong, and they will submit to the strong.

The little wizards of Gryffindor and Slytherin had no objections, nor did they dare to have any.

Soon, news of what happened to the Gryffindor and Slytherin second-year students, and that Professor "Lockhart" was going to start the Dueling Club 850, spread throughout Hogwarts Castle.

In Hogwarts, there is no way to hide any secrets, because the little wizards are very gossip, and with the help of caring people, the news spreads faster.

The first-year freshmen and senior students are also talking about this matter, and they are also very interested in the duel club taught by "Lockhart".

Hogwarts Castle, eighth floor, headmaster's office.

"Lockhart" came here, and it was the first time for him to come to the headmaster's office. In this room, Dumbledore had lived here for almost half a century, and there were traces of him everywhere.

"Lockhart" looked at the principal's office, as if he wanted to keep everything here in his heart. At this time, the expression on his face was unexpectedly serious, and the "perfect smile" had disappeared.

"Oh! Professor Lockhart, I've kept you waiting."

Dumbledore came out of the back room smiling.

"Headmaster Dumbledore!"

When "Lockhart" saw Dumbledore, his eyes were slightly dazed, but he recovered quickly, and the "perfect smile" appeared on his face again.

"Professor Lockhart, is the class going well? Although you are an excellent graduate of Hogwarts Wen Krow College, it is your first time as a professor. If you have any questions, you can ask them."

Dumbledore sat "Lockhart" down, and (bicf) cared.

"Oh, thank you, Headmaster Dumbledore, I don't think there is any problem at all. Although I am a great writer and an internationally renowned person, being a teacher is easy for me.

"Lockhart" said with a smile, a very narcissistic expression.

"That's good, Professor Lockhart, you are an expert in Defense Against the Dark Arts, and you have published so many bestsellers, I think the children will definitely learn something from you.

Dumbledore smiled, his half-moon glasses gleaming white.

According to his investigation, Gilderoy · Lockhart seems to be an incompetent liar, his experiences are all stolen from other wizards.

He has also investigated those wizards. For example, the old wizard who drove away the werewolves in Armenia seems to have traces of the Forgetting Curse. As for who did it, "it's obviously not the district.

Just, why would he let an incompetent liar be the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts this year?

Firstly, due to the curse of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, few wizards applied for this position. Coupled with the tragic deaths of the first two Defense Against the Dark Arts professors, there were basically no wizards who applied for the position.

Except, of course, for Professor Snape, who applied to Hogwarts for the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor every year, but Dumbledore never agreed.

Secondly, he also felt that allowing Gilderoy Lockhart, an incompetent liar, to become the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, would be able to dismantle his disguise and allow students to see his true colors.

At the same time, it can also give the students a warning. With such a living example, the students must be able to learn a lesson so that they will not become wizards like Lockhart in the future.

This is his purpose.

"That's for sure, those students will definitely learn a lot from me, and they will become famous wizards like me in the future."

"Lockhart," said triumphantly.

"If the students turn out to be incompetent liars like you, then they're really screwed.

Dumbledore said to himself, of course he wouldn't show it, he'd let Lockhart show it himself.

"Oh, by the way, Professor Lockhart, you came to see me today, what's the matter?"

asked Dumbledore.

"Yes, although I have only been a professor for one day, I have discovered a problem in Hogwarts, and I think this problem is very important."

"Lockhart" waved his hand and seemed agitated.

"So, don't know what the problem is?"?

Dumbledore folded his hands, resting on his chin, his eyes seemed to look at "Lockhart" with interest, and he wanted to see what questions Lockhart would ask.

"I think Hogwarts lacks a practical course, which is very detrimental to the students.

"Lockhart" said.

"A practical course!"?

Dumbledore was a little surprised, he didn't expect Lockhart to actually make a useful suggestion.

"Principal Dumbledore, I think actual combat is very important for students. They can improve their magic in the process of actual combat. After all, the wizarding world is not very safe."

"There are many dark creatures that pose a threat to wizards, such as werewolves, giant monsters, etc. Wizards must have the ability to defend themselves.

"Lockhart" said excitedly.

"Oh, yes, Professor Lockhart, what you said is very reasonable. It is precisely because of this that Hogwarts will set up Defense Against the Dark Arts as a class."

said Dumbledore.

"However, Headmaster Dumbledore, it's useless to just take theoretical lessons. You must let the students take practical lessons."

"Lockhart" said excitedly.

"But, Professor Lockhart, you have to know that the actual combat class is quite dangerous. Those students, especially those in the lower grades, can't control magic very well, and it will be bad if they are injured."

Dumbledore said that it's not that Hogwarts has not considered setting up practical classes, but the danger level of practical classes is too high, and now it's an era of peace, practical classes are not so important.

"Oh yes, of course the students will get hurt, so I'm just going to start a dueling club where the students can practice combat and I can teach him

"Principal Dumbledore, I can assure you that as long as I am watching, those students will not be injured. I will teach them how to perform magic duels."

"So, please approve, let me set up a duel club."

"Lockhart" said.

"In this case..."

Dumbledore hesitated, if it was Professor Flitwick or Professor Snape, he would definitely agree, but Lockhart's words...

Perhaps, though, it would have given Lockhart a better chance, allowing the students to see him for what he really was.

"Well, Professor Lockhart, I think I can agree with you to start a dueling club, but it may be difficult for you to keep an eye on all the students by yourself. Maybe you can ask Professor Flitwick or Professor Snape to be your assistant."

Dumbledore said that he felt that with Lockhart's character, he would not refuse such a thing, and this was a good opportunity to gain fame.

However, he faintly felt that the Lockhart in front of him seemed a little different. .
