The Alchemist of Harry Potter

Since the end of June, after receiving a letter from Dumbledore, Lockhart has been hesitating, should he accept Dumbledore's offer to go to Hogwarts as a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts?

Honestly, being a professor at Hogwarts is indeed a respectable profession, with good pay and benefits, but a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts is an exception.

When Lockhart was in school at Hogwarts, he knew that something bad would happen to the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor every year, so he had to quit his job, and many professors of Defence Against the Dark Arts even suffered from various troubles. , was admitted to St Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries.

As far as Lockhart knew about the case, they taught their last Defence Against the Dark Arts professor, who spent seven years in the hospital because of a spell, and still hasn't fully recovered.

This is not the worst. The last professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, Rowena Smith, went missing. His whereabouts are still unknown, and his life and death are unknown.

The former professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, Mr. Quirrell Quirinus, died tragically in the Hogwarts dungeon. These cases directly illustrate the terribleness of the curse.

Lockhart is not at all interested in such a high-risk profession. He still cherishes his own life, and there is really no need to joke about his life.

Moreover, after his big sale, Lockhart has never been short of money, not to mention that as a writer, Lockhart is in the rising stage of his career, his autobiography "I Can Magic" is about to be published, and there is no Reason took the risk, and now he's only interested in how to make himself famous. Just a month after Gilderoy Lockhart wrote a letter rejecting Dumbledore's offer, he actually received another letter from Dumbledore about his upcoming visit.

To be honest, Lockhart didn't really want to meet Dumbledore. He was very aware of the other party's intention, but after hesitating, he still did not directly refuse to meet Dumbledore.

In fact, Lockhart wondered how Dumbledore would convince himself, and that outright refusal was not a good idea. After all, it still needs to give Dumbledore some face.

At the end of July, Dumbledore, facing the hot sun, knocked on Gilderoy Lockhart's door on time.

"Long time no see, Dumbledore."

After Gilderoy Lockhart invited Dumbledore into the room, he said straight to the point, "I'm just a writer, and the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is not for me."

"Don't be humble, Gilderoy, I believe you are competent enough for this job." Dumbledore smiled: "After all, you have already done so many amazing things, I remember you still seem to be Defense Against the Dark Arts. Alliance Honorary Member,

It's fitting to be a Defence Against the Dark Arts professor. "

Gilderoy Lockhart's eyes widened, although Dumbledore's praise made him very comfortable, but...

"I know what you're worrying about. In fact, you don't need to worry so much about the curse. Bud also served as a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts last time, and he still resigned safely." Dumbledore seemed to see through Lockhart's concerns. , continued: "You just need to resign more than half a month in advance like Bud, and you won't be in trouble."

Lockhart looked at Dumbledore suspiciously, and he knew that Bud was a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, and that he would get out of his body, but could he really do it?

No way, the position of Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts is really notorious, and no one has been able to hold the position for more than two years.

"With your connections, you should be able to find a lot of people who are willing to come to any Defense Against the Dark Arts professor?" Lockhart raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Unfortunately, I can't find a more suitable candidate for the time being. The professors of this course are exhausted too fast." Dumbledore looked embarrassed, "If you give me a little more time, I will definitely be able to find other suitable professors. , but now..."

"Sorry Dumbledore, I'm afraid I'm not up to the job, you know, my new book "I Can Magic" has been published, I need to think about what to write next." Lockhart interrupted directly. , "Creating is better for me, that's a safe job."

"You can write the story of your own Defence Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts." Dumbledore said without hesitation: "Mr Albert has a good relationship with several Defence Against the Dark Arts professors, and maybe you will have a common topic. ."

"You mean Albert Anderson, the one who won the World Wizarding Chess Championship not long ago." Lockhart was a little surprised, he had naturally heard the name of the youngest World Wizarding Chess champion.

"And Harry," Dumbledore added.

"Harry Potter?"

"Harry enrolled last semester, and this year is second year."

To be honest, Lockhart has no interest in Albert Anderson, because he is not a genius, chatting with a genius will undoubtedly reveal his tricks, and the "teacher" of this genius is Bud Broad.

Lockhart is a little interested in Harry Potter, the savior. If he can be the teacher of "Famous Harry", he will undoubtedly gain more popularity than other things.

Especially if he can write those things in his own book, he believes that the next book will definitely be a big seller.

In the end, the thirst for fame overcame Lockhart's little caution, and he accepted the job because Dumbledore allowed Lockhart to resign early, allowing... Anyway, the Headmaster gave Lockhart a great deal free.

And Lockhart also intends to take this opportunity to make the books he wrote become textbooks that students need to buy, which will undoubtedly make his books popular again, and accumulate and improve his reputation among students.

"Okay!" Lockhart agreed, "but I have a request, if something happens, I want to be able to resign early. I never considered myself better than the first few dozen Defence Against the Dark Arts professors, since they all There's no getting rid of the curse, and I think I'd better take precautions."

"Okay, I'm glad you took the job." Dumbledore smiled and shook hands with Lockhart. "I don't think you'll regret it."

"I hope so!"

...

Soon, God gave Lockhart an unexpected surprise. He met the legendary savior: Harry Potter at the autograph sale of "The Magical Me" at the Licent Bookstore.

The Savior was indeed as famous as the legends had it, and immediately attracted the attention of countless people.

Lockhart seized the opportunity to take a lot of photos with Harry, and announced that he would become a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts. While Harry's fame hit the headlines, he won some Harry's favor and laid the foundation for the next "Harry's teacher".

Of course, if Lockhart knew what he was doing, and instead made Harry hate him, I don't know what to think.
