Ashes of Hogwarts

Chapter 47: Lockhart

In the principal's office, Dumbledore was squinting at the ring on the table.

The Peverell decoration on the ring is clearly visible, indicating that it is one of the Deathly Hallows.

Then it's obvious that this is the Resurrection Stone.

Dumbledore's breathing began to quicken.

"I don't think it would be a good idea to give him this evil thing, Lothric."

On the wall of the office, a portrait belonging to the former headmaster Phineas was frowning at Dumbledore.

"Don't worry, Dumbledore is a smart man and he will figure out what to do eventually."

Ash wasn't too worried that Dumbledore would do something stupid, after all, the old man's impulses came and went quickly.

Let him fulfill his wish, and he will naturally know what he should do when he wakes up.

After a long time, Dumbledore finally turned his attention away from the Resurrection Stone.

"Ash, would you be interested in hearing a story from me?"

He took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes, speaking in a tired voice.

Ash didn't like hearing sad stories, so he refused without hesitation.

"No, if you want to use the Resurrection Stone once, I can lend it to you, but if you want me to listen to the story, it will cost me my life."

Ash pulled the fireproof girl out of the principal's office, leaving the Resurrection Stone on the table.

"Only one afternoon, Dumbledore," he said. "I hope to see my ring before supper."

Dumbledore didn't answer, he just looked at the Resurrection Stone.

"Oh, this kid should strengthen his respect for the principal."

Phineas was very dissatisfied. Disrespecting Dumbledore meant disrespecting past principals like them.

"Respect doesn't need to be expressed verbally."

Dumbledore stretched out his hand tremblingly and grasped the Resurrection Stone in his hand.

On the other side, Ash had already found Snape.

In some ways, both Snape and Dumbledore were pathetic people.

But Dumbledore still had the Mirror of Erised and could occasionally see his sister alive, but Snape was miserable.

Just by looking at his greasy hair, you can tell that this guy is someone who doesn't usually look in the mirror, let alone the Mirror of Erised.

"I have wanted to find this stone a long time ago. I have worked hard for a long time, but I have found nothing." Snape was a little melancholy. This cold man would only take off his hard armor when he encountered something. .

"Later Dumbledore told me that there is no magic or alchemy product that can bring the dead back to life. After all, even wizards have to follow the principle of equal exchange."

"Well, in some ways, he's right."

Ash picked up a bottle of Erguotou and handed it to Snape, then opened a bottle for himself.

He agreed with Dumbledore's words, but that didn't mean that Ash believed in Dumbledore's position.Anyone who has watched the movie knows what Dumbledore did when he saw the Resurrection Stone.

You said he's not interested in the Resurrection Stone?Then you can go to the principal's office and take a look. I guess Lao Deng is still holding his sister and crying.

"Tons~tons~tons~ah!"

"The Resurrection Stone cannot really resurrect a person. It can only recreate a super ghostly body based on your memory that can affect reality. It can be used to commemorate the deceased, or simply take you to see her."

Of course Snape knew what meeting her meant, but he still longed to see Lily again.

But that was also the Lily in his memory.

Two hours later, Fox appeared in a flash of fire, with a letter hooked in his claws in addition to the Resurrection Stone.

"I think two hours is enough Severus." Ash handed the Resurrection Stone to Snape, who was already half drunk. "If it takes too long, you will not be able to bear it and go crazy."

"I know..." After forcing himself to drink a bottle of sobriety potion, Snape disappeared into the corner of the office with the Philosopher's Stone.

Ash opened the envelope.

There is nothing extra inside, just a visa book, which in addition to the normal government seal, also has the unique coat of arms of the Ministry of Magic.

This is bound for China.

Although Ash doesn't need these formal things at all to go to China, it is better than nothing.

Dumbledore is still very considerate.

Why don't such gentle Dumbledore introduce him to a girlfriend?The most beautiful thing is the red sunset.

At this moment, Ash Octavia's ear senses heard a faint sobbing sound.

Ash couldn't help but intensify his concentration.

Snape's Chamber of Secrets can certainly prevent eavesdropping on the magical level, but there is nothing that can be done about it on the physical level.

Ash only heard one sentence.

It was a gentle female voice.

"Sev, let's make up."

Then everything was drowned by the roar of howls.

Ah, truly Professor Severus Snape, with such strong emotions.

Ash left with goosebumps all over his body.

It is true that the Resurrection Stone cannot resurrect people, but it can make up for people's regrets, and it is also true that they can express their sincere feelings to the deceased.

There are so many people in this world who regret not having had time to express their feelings to the deceased.Ash felt that he would definitely make more money as a psychiatrist by relying on the Resurrection Stone than as a teacher.

At this time, Ash received another summons from Dumbledore, who invited Ash to go to the principal's office.

Listening to your tone is a matter of work.

This old man adjusts his mood so quickly.

The fire girl is also in the principal's office.When Ash saw Dumbledore, he looked relieved.

"see this."

Dumbledore pushed over a resume.

"Gilderoy Lockhart, an internationally renowned figure and author, a recipient of the Order of Merlin, Third Class, an honorary member of the League Against the Dark Arts, and five-time winner of the Wizarding Weekly Most Charming Smile Award... Requesting to serve as Defense Against the Dark Arts Class teacher?"

Ash didn't expect that even though there was already a professor in office, this guy would still have the idea of ​​coming to Hogwarts to become a professor.

And it was earlier than in the plot, probably because the fireproof girl had been with him for a whole semester without incident, which gave him some hope that he shouldn't have.

"With all due respect, this guy is more like...a liar." Ash told the truth. He had no good impression of such people who stole other people's achievements.

"It seems that you are much sharper than me, Ash." Dumbledore said with a smile: "I have also "read" his masterpieces, and then I found that his experience is almost exactly the same as that of my old friend. So I went to meet that old friend on a free day, and guess what."

"I won't guess." You can tell the development of the story just by thinking about it on your knees, and you're using this to test me.

You use this to test the cadres?

"Yes, he completely forgot about his experience during that period, as if it had never existed." Dumbledore said without embarrassment: "I found out that he was under a profound forgetting spell. Later I visited him several times. An adventurer found that they all have this symptom to a greater or lesser extent."

"That's why I concluded that Lockhart is a despicable liar and a nasty thief."

"So you're going to reject him?"

"No, I'm going to hire him and have him confess his crime in front of the public."

So to put it bluntly, the Fire Protection Girl teaches Defense Against the Dark Arts. It doesn’t matter whether you say it or not.

"Okay, good luck."

Ash prepared to say goodbye.

"No, I wish you good luck." Dumbledore's crescent glasses reflected a sharp light.

"I'll leave this matter to you."
