Harry Potter’s Defense Professor

...

Throughout the afternoon Lockhart and Pandora were telling the crowd about their travels in China, and then Slughorn gave many anecdotes about Lockhart and his classmates he had taught, as well as some other great wizards. At Hogwarts, they all (except Lockhart) happily joined what he called the Slug Club (the first half of Slughorn's surname, Slug, means slug). It wasn't until dinner was over that Slughorn happily announced their disbandment.

"Professor," Pandora whispered, "Am I going to your dormitory tonight?"

"You are not satisfied with so many days in the summer vacation~" Lockhart asked with a smirk, "Come here when you feel uncomfortable, the dormitory door will be opened for you at any time! Now, go put on your school robe and get ready to get off. "

Lockhart went back to find his own car, passed by Hermione's prefect's car, saw that she was alone, and simply sat in.

"Professor, how can I not find you!" Hermione hugged Lockhart's arm in dissatisfaction.

"I'm going to Professor Slughorn's party," Lockhart explained. "Aren't you wearing your school gown yet?"

【…】

The train arrived quickly, letting Hermione leave first, and Lockhart got off the train after waiting in the carriage for a few minutes.

"Gildrow! Did you see Harry?" Tonks stopped him cheerfully.

"No?" said Lockhart strangely, he had almost forgotten the plot now, "what's the matter, are you coming to pick him up?"

"Well, I have been assigned to Hogsmeade to be stationed at Hogwarts along with Prout, Cevich, and Dao Lishi!" Tonks said proudly, "I secretly went to Gadwin, Got me on the list, so glad I wasn't with that fat Joe and that scheming bitch Louise!"

"Hehe, just say it if you want to stay with Lupin, get so many shields!" Lockhart pierced Tonks unceremoniously.

"Shut up!" Tonks slapped Lockhart, pretending to be angry, "Why hasn't Harry come out yet? Come in with me to find it."

Lockhart also recalled this episode at this time, and he knew that Harry was probably lying in the Slytherin carriage at this time. Sure enough, Draco Malfoy passed them by, greeted Lockhart hastily, and got off the train.

"Why are the curtains drawn in that carriage?" Tonks said to himself, "Let's go and see."

The two pushed open the door of the Slytherin carriage and walked in.

"Harry must be hiding somewhere with an invisibility cloak!" Tonks guessed. "Look carefully."

"Don't be so troublesome, the wind is howling!" Lockhart took out his wand and waved, the magic surged, and the invisibility cloak covering Harry was blown away by the wind spell, revealing Harry lying on the ground.

"Harry, what are you doing here?" Tonks asked amusingly. "The curse is broken!"

"Oh!" Harry stood up, clutching his nose, "Tonks, and Professor Lockhart, how did you find me?"

"You are the key protection target now, Harry!" Tonks said as he supported Harry. "The school won't be closed unless I see you, so get out of the car quickly, and the opening ceremony!"

"Why on earth are you here!" Lockhart asked dissatisfiedly, although he knew the reason, "Recovery!"

"It's Draco Malfoy, I suspect him..."

"Okay! Don't worry about this kind of thing. Your task now is to study hard. In the future, the mysterious man will depend on you to deal with it!" Lockhart interrupted Harry, "As for Draco Malfoy, Headmaster There will be arrangements, so don't fret!"

"Malfoy what happened to him?" Tonks asked curiously.

"He seems to have joined the Death Eaters to wreak havoc at Hogwarts..." Harry explained.

"Oh dear Harry, I've never seen a Death Eater under twenty,

Not to mention underage..." Tonks made a sad expression, "You must be thinking too much. "

They walked down the road into Hogwarts, where Filch was checking Draco Malfoy's luggage, and Snape seemed to be trying to stop Filch's inspection.

Professor Flitwick was registering the students there: "Guidero, Nymphadora, why are you taking Harry there? The carriage is about to run out!"

"I'm sorry, Professor Flitwick, for a little delay," Lockhart said apologetically to Professor Flitwick.

"Okay, hurry in!" Professor Flitwick wrote something on the registration book and let them go, "The opening ceremony is about to begin!"

——

"Professor Lockhart, you can go in without inspection," Filch looked at Lockhart indulgently, "the principal said that the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor can bring dark magic items into the school, but Potter's things need to be check!"

"No, I checked Harry's stuff." Lockhart saw the last carriage pulled by Thestrals waiting there, and he didn't want to miss the carriage, "Let's go in, Mr. Filch, you've worked hard. already."

"it's okay no problem!"

"Ah, there's a carriage!" Tonks jumped into the car happily, "Hurry up, don't miss the opening ceremony, I haven't attended for many years!"

——

When Lockhart and the others arrived at the school, the opening ceremony had just begun, and the sorting had just ended, and the Sorting Hat was talking encouraging and nonsense over there.

Lockhart hurriedly parted with Harry and Tonks, and sat in his own teaching chair. Professor Slughorn nodded happily to him, while McGonagall looked at Lockhart dissatisfiedly, as if blaming him. be late.

"Ah, everyone!" Dumbledore nodded with satisfaction at the front, cast a spell on himself to keep his voice loud, "This year, we are very happy to invite, our excellent potions professor - Horace Professor Slughorn, back to school!"

There was applause from the audience.

"Professor Slughorn has worked in our school for many years and has taught a large number of outstanding students. In fact, among the professors sitting on the faculty seat, including your former potions professor and your current defense professor, all He taught it." Dumbledore said happily, "I believe that everyone's grades in Potions will be even better."

The students were talking, and Dumbledore signaled everyone to be quiet, then continued: "Meanwhile, our professor of Muggle Studies has decided to resign, and Professor Snape will take her place."

There was another round of applause - even Gryffindor people started to applaud, because Muggle studies were not required, and many people could no longer be bothered by Snape's venom.

"I think everyone saw it. Everyone was searched before entering the school tonight. You have the right to know why."

The students in the audience began to whisper again, and Lockhart also frowned. According to his point of view, there was no need to talk too much to the students, just remind them to be careful, and just say everything out. Can cause panic.

Dumbledore continued: "Once upon a time, there was a young man who, like you, sat in this hall, walked down the corridors here, slept in the beds here. He looked like everyone else."

The students all fell silent, staring at Dumbledore.

"His name is Tom Riddle."

The students under the stage were whispering again at once.

"Of course, now, the world only knows his other name... That's why, at this moment, I look at you and remember an indisputable fact." Dumbledore paused, "Every day, every Seconds, even at this very moment, perhaps the dark forces are trying to invade the walls of this castle."

"But in the end, their deadliest weapon is you -- I hope you think about it."

Lockhart glanced at Draco Malfoy, who was resting his chin in thought, seemingly not listening at all.

"Okay, everyone, go back to the dormitory and go to bed, good night."

The students stood up in a commotion and left the school hall discussing each other.
