Chapter 589： The wisdom of the principal

In the middle of the night, as soon as the castle had a curfew, Lockhart wore a cloak and carried an oil lamp and began to patrol the corridors.

Since the hapless Colin Crevey was attacked by the Slytherin heir in the middle of the night, Dumbledore asked the professors to patrol in the middle of the night to avoid similar things happening again.

It is said that the targets of the Slytherin heirs were all Muggle-born wizards, so Lockhart didn't worry about being attacked at all. He is a half-blood wizard and a professor in the school, no matter how courage the other party is, he won't be able to find a professor.

In fact, it was not that Lockhart got up to patrol in the middle of the night, but that the first half of the semester was almost over, and he himself never realized the purpose of coming to Hogwarts.

To become a professor of defense against the dark arts at Hogwarts, he had to take a big risk. Lockhart originally hoped that he could gain more popularity by becoming a "famous Harry Potter" teacher, but this wish has always Can't go further.

Lockhart knew he had to do something, otherwise the first half of the semester would really end.

Today, Lockhart did not patrol according to the usual route, but stopped in front of the stone monster on the third floor, read the correct command, and took the stone ladder to the top floor.

It's just after eleven o'clock, Professor Dumbledore must have not rested yet, maybe he can...

Lockhart raised his hand and knocked on the principal's office door. After a while, the door opened from the inside.

Seeing some unexpected guy here, Lockhart was a little surprised. He recognized Snape at a glance. This guy is the most unpopular professor at Hogwarts. It is said that Harry Potter also hates him. Snape.

After sensing Lockhart's gaze, Snape raised his head to meet Lockhart's gaze and frowned slightly.

"Good evening Guidro, did you find something?" Dumbledore cast a suspicious look at Lockhart.

"No, no." Lockhart showed his signature smile to the two of them, and said his intentions, "That's it, I noticed that the last attack made the students feel very nervous. Tight, maybe we should find a way to alleviate this situation."

Snape frowned when he heard the words, obviously he couldn't compliment Lockhart's advice. He felt that it would be no good for him to bring it up at this time.

"We can give the students some confidence." Lockhart immediately stated his plan: "I hope Professor Dumbledore will allow me to open a duel club in the castle, so that students can have the opportunity to train their self-defense ability."

"You mean you are going to a duel with that so-called monster?" Snape said softly, and he seemed to be holding it back so that he didn't make himself laugh.

"Of course not, it's very unrealistic, but I think it is quite necessary for students to have some self-defense capabilities." Lockhart turned to Snape and said, "I have used magic to protect myself from harm countless times, and You can try to reverse the depressed and tense atmosphere in the school through a small event. I think it is necessary to try it."

"This is a good idea. Tell me about your plan, Guidro." Dumbledore noticed Snape's confused look and explained with a smile: "The atmosphere in the school is indeed a bit depressing, and There is no harm in allowing students to learn something useful."

"This is just an idea. Please give me a few days. I will definitely be able to come up with a specific plan." Lockhart was very excited. He did not expect Professor Dumbledore to agree to let him host a duel club in the school.

"After you have prepared the specific plan, come and talk to me about this."

"Severus." Lockhart turned to look at Snape, inviting: "I hope you can serve as my temporary assistant then."

At this moment, Snape's expression was gloomy and terrifying, as if he would pull out his wand at any time and give Lockhart a life for Avada.

"Then I will trouble you." Dumbledore looked at the two of them and said with a smile, not giving Snape a chance to refuse.

"You shouldn't promise him such a stupid decision."

As soon as Lockhart's front foot left, Snape complained to Dumbledore, but he didn't want to be Lockhart's assistant at all.

"Stupid, no, no, this is a good opportunity." Dumbledore said meaningfully. "Also, I think Guidro's words make sense. The atmosphere in the school is indeed a bit bad. Maybe he can help everyone enliven. atmosphere."

For some reason, Snape heard something else from Dumbledore.

"With all due respect, being like Lockhart will only mess things up." Snape made no secret of his dislike and contempt for the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. You can leave it to me to hold it. UU reading www.uukanshu.com"

Based on Snape's knowledge of Lockhart, that guy organized a duel club, definitely not to teach students dueling skills, but to attract everyone's attention.

Lockhart had been doing this throughout the semester, which made Snape extremely disgusted.

"No, Severus, Guidro is more suitable than you." Professor Dumbledore looked at Snape deeply and said softly, "However, with your help, I believe the students can gain something a bit. "

There is no doubt that Professor Dumbledore also knew what Lockhart was, so he asked Snape to help.

Dumbledore could not find any reason to refuse Lockhart's proposal.

Since the last attack, the atmosphere in the school has indeed become very depressing. Everyone is worried that they will become the next unlucky person to be attacked.

Dumbledore also believed in Lockhart's ability, and there must be a way to activate the depressed atmosphere in the school.

And, most importantly, Dumbledore thought it was a good opportunity to let other students see Lockhart's true face.

The more Lockhart revealed, the easier it was to reveal flaws.

He believed that after the first half of the semester, many students in the school had doubts about Lockhart's ability, but this was not enough. After everyone sees Lockhart's poor performance in the duel club, I believe the students will truly realize that Lockhart is not as brave as he wrote in his book.

This is one of the reasons why Lockhart was invited to Hogwarts as a professor of defense against the dark arts.

Ordinary school life allowed Lockhart to gradually show his true self. Ego and the desire for fame defeated his caution. Dumbledore believed that Lockhart's deception would soon be dismantled.
