Connor's Hogwarts

Chapter 347 Smart Actor

"Sorry, I think you must have the wrong person."

The door was opened, and Connor only had time to see a row of bright teeth. The person who opened the door was about to close the door, but Dumbledore obviously would not let him do so.

"It seems that our Mr. Gilderoy has only been away from school for ten years and has already forgotten what his principal looks like?"

The hand closing the door froze, and when the door was opened again, Connor could clearly see the appearance of the man in front of him.

This is a handsome man about thirty years old. He has dazzling blond hair and blue eyes. Judging from the skin alone, this man is indeed a very handsome man. Of course, compared with Connor, there is still a big gap. His white teeth are extremely eye-catching. Even with a sad face, he insists on showing those teeth. He seems to be a guy who is very strict with his image.

Of course Connor knew him. This was indeed a very famous man, a frequent guest in major newspapers in recent years, a great novelist-Gilderoy Lockhart.

Connor also has a complete set of this guy's works on his bookshelf, which was given to him on his previous birthday.

However, Connor didn't expect that this guy would be the first person Dumbledore took him to meet, but after thinking about it carefully, he didn't feel very surprised.

"Ahaha! Sorry, sorry, I thought I was dazzled just now. I never thought that Professor Dumbledore would come to the humble abode. Come on, come on in, please! Ouch! Isn't this our genius wizard Mr. Connor! Nice to meet you! I'm Gilderoy Lockhart, nice to meet you!"

Lockhart completed the face change almost instantly. He was extremely proficient in face changing skills. He welcomed Connor and Connor into his home very enthusiastically, and personally served tea and water. He was extremely attentive.

"I wonder why you two came to me?"

In fact, Lockhart felt like a yuppie in his heart. You must know that he had never told anyone where he lived, not to mention how these two great gods found this place. It was just because he knew that his butt was dirty, and now he felt guilty. no

Dumbledore took a sip of tea casually and said slowly: "That's right, I'm looking for a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor for the school next school year, and I'm very optimistic about Gilderoy, so I hope you can take the job. Take this job.”

Lockhart sweatdropped. He knew the curse of the Dark Lord very well, because the curse happened to start from the year he entered school. One of the terrifying students taught by the Magic Defense class.

You must know that not many of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professors ended up well. Some were pregnant and injured, but some were unlucky enough to die. How dare Lockhart step into this trap.

"No, no, no! Professor Dumbledore, I am too inexperienced to take on this important responsibility. You should hire someone more talented. I can't take on this job." Lockhart waved his hand repeatedly, fearing that it would be too late to refuse. Even if he starved to death and died outside, he would never take this horrible job!

"How could it be? You are the most outstanding student of your generation. I often read your works. There are not many young people like you who are so bold, courageous and capable." Dumbledore was very kind. He patted Lockhart on the shoulder, like an old headmaster who was very pleased after hearing about his student's success.

Connor had already seen the sweat on Lockhart's forehead. He wiped the sweat and said with a dry smile: "Those are all embellished stories. They can't be taken seriously. I'm far from what I wrote in my book." sharp"

Dumbledore smiled and shook his head and said, "That's right, but I learned from Ms. Margaret that your ability is far beyond my imagination."

"Bang!" The tea cup Lockhart had just picked up fell back onto the table without holding it firmly, making a loud noise. He even slipped off the sofa. He knelt down tremblingly on the ground, almost covered in sweat. His collar was soaked.

"You know everything." Lockhart was trembling all over. He crawled towards Dumbledore, and finally hid his dazzling white eyes:

"Sir, Mr. Dumbledore, I didn't hurt them. I just used the Forgetting Curse on them. I didn't hurt them! I know I was wrong! I will never dare to do such a thing again! Spare me, forgive me. Kill me!"

Lockhart knew there was nothing he could do to save him, so he told him what he had done like beans in a bamboo tube.

Gilderoy Lockhart is a very successful international celebrity and author, a recipient of the Order of Merlin, Third Class, an honorary member of the League Against Dark Arts, and a five-time winner of the Wizarding Weekly Most Charming Smile Award. He has written many books, such as "Breaking with a Female Ghost", "Holiday with a Dominatrix", "Traveling on a Boat with a Vampire", "A Year with a Tibetan Snowman" and so on.

His adventure stories became popular in the wizarding world, but

All of this is false. These stories were "stolen" from magicians who have actually experienced these things, such as the Lady Margaret that Dumbledore just talked about...

None of these stories were his personal experiences. He just stole other people's stories, then used the Forgetting Curse to make them lose their memories, and then grafted these stories onto himself and wrote novels, which earned him a lot of fame.

A vain, cunning, refined egotist, a Ravenclaw who has gone astray.

Of course, he is also very strong and talented.

Otherwise, he would not be able to commit crimes repeatedly and never fail. Wizards are not fools. If you don’t have any real information, others will not believe your nonsense. He is not weaker than the wizards from whom he borrowed stories. It’s just that I just like to go astray.

Moreover, this guy's writing style is very good, at least much better than Uncle Charles's. Connor has read several of his books and likes them very much. Those novels have brought back the old way of reading cool novels in bed. Happy, he is looking forward to updating his novel.

But now it seems that this guy's next book is no longer possible.

"Don't be nervous, Gilderoy, you should still remember the purpose of my coming here, right? I'm not here to catch you, I'm here to ask you to be a professor." Dumbledore said calmly, he has always been very good at manipulating people's hearts. awesome.

"Dang Dang Dang! I will be the professor! I will definitely do my best to teach the students well!" Lockhart nodded his head, no longer feeling any reluctance.

"No, no, I'm not here to ask you to be a good professor, I'm here to ask you to be a bad professor." Dumbledore shook his head with a smile.

"Huh?" Lockhart was stunned. He didn't quite understand what Dumbledore meant.

Dumbledore lowered his eyes: "Gilderoy, you haven't revealed your secrets for so many years, you must be very good at acting."

"Huh? This...is not bad."

Dumbledore looked over his half-moon glasses and looked at Lockhart: "Everyone wants to have a good reputation. It is human nature for people to yearn for honor, pursue honor, and be intoxicated with honor. There is nothing wrong with it."

"But when a person's reputation does not match his ability, it is a very bad thing." Dumbledore smiled, "I hope my students can understand this."

"Gilderoy, can you teach my students this?"

Lockhart instantly understood what Dumbledore meant, and he replied loudly: "Leave this task to me with confidence! Principal Dumbledore! Promise to complete the task!"
