Chapter 51: Lockhart's Car Overturns

About 2 hours later.

Harry, you woke up so early?

Do you like the dress? And the decoration of the house? Sirius said.

He also came to the living room to continue arranging the birthday party, and was very surprised to see Harry.

I like it very much. I almost thought I was in the Herbology classroom. Harry put down the Daily Prophet in his hand.

In the Daily Prophet, there was a handsome wizard who was still handsome even in shackles and showed his eight teeth.

That's good, your Potter family's ancestors were engaged in these flowers and plants, so I guessed you would like it.

Even James used to be like this, he just pretended not to be interested, after all, he thought it was not manly.

But he changed after the fifth grade. In order to get in touch with your mother, he let go of his love for these wonderful plants.

After all, Herbology and your mother's best potion are inseparable. Sirius said in a nostalgic tone, and then he looked at what Harry put on the table, aha, you know.

Lockhart, this idiot, is always flirting, stealing other people's stories and writing books.

Molly is still talking about him all the time.

Harry, you don't know that Molly also came to help when cleaning the Black mansion. At that time, she held a book "Gilderoy Lockhart Teaches You How to Get Rid of Pests in Your Home" and kept saying: He is amazing. He knows the pests in his home. This is a good book...

But now, look. Sirius spoke a long paragraph in one breath, and it seems that he has been resentful of Lockhart for a long time.

Harry actually knows this very well. If Mr. Arthur saw this report, Harry believed that even if Lucius Malfoy was in front of him, he would be happy to give him a hug.

This should have something to do with you. Harry blinked shrewdly.

Aha! You guessed it right, Harry.

But don't tell Molly.

This actually has little to do with me.

Gilderoy Lockhart has been a little out of fashion recently. He hurriedly wrote a new book "My Magical Self" to regain his popularity. He is even preparing to apply for the position of professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts.

You know, because the Daily Prophet has changed its style, our ace reporter Rita Skeeter is preparing to transform, and I just know what kind of person Lockhart was when he was a student.

As the boss, I just pushed him, and Rita Skeeter got a lot of negative information about Lockhart. Sirius said in a flat tone, but from his slightly upturned mouth, it can be seen that this decision made him very proud.

What? He is also preparing to apply for a professor at Hogwarts! Harry picked up the Daily Prophet angrily and pointed to a page. Look, what he said after drinking the truth serum: If people don't think that those things were done by me, the sales of the book will be far worse. Readers will not be willing to read the deeds of an ugly old American wizard, even though he has freed the people in a village from the scourge of werewolves. Putting his photo on the cover would be too ugly. He has no taste in clothes. And the witch who expelled the ghost of Wanlun, she is a cleft-lipped one!

How dare he, relying on his skillful forgetfulness spell?

In my opinion, Dumbledore would definitely not agree. Harry said indignantly.

In his opinion, Hogwarts is his other home. How dare a liar apply for a professorship! It’s better to be Voldemort!

Harry, although I hate Lockhart too.

But I want to remind you that according to Dumbledore, if it weren’t for the existence of the youth version of Voldemort, Gilderoy Lockhart might be the new professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts. Sirius teased with a weird smile.

How is it possible! Harry’s voice even turned into a clip tone in surprise.

It was the same reaction I had at the time.

Dumbledore actually felt that he was a little bit wrong, but Harry, you know what kind of person Dumbledore is. He would not and would not bother to use extra means.

If there was no young Voldemort, Dumbledore would have agreed to Lockhart's application.

First, he is a Ravenclaw. Even if his magic ability is not good, his knowledge is rich.

Second, those stories are at least true. Lockhart himself has visited and investigated those events in person, and at least he can teach you some experience.

Third, the most important point is the curse in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class. For someone like him who has flaws, the curse will make him receive the punishment he deserves.

After all, if I hadn't helped, Gilderoy Lockhart would have been fined by the Ministry of Magic at most for facing Rita Skeeter's black materials. Sirius explained.

I understand, Dumbledore's criteria for finding a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts. Harry said confidently.

What criteria? Sirius asked curiously.

For Harry, who has the same face as James, he always feels like he is talking to James.

And asking James for his opinion on a matter is a habit engraved in Sirius' soul.

Consumables. Harry said, he looked at Sirius's puzzled expression and emphasized again, just looking for a consumable.

Maybe you don't know, our Defense Against the Dark Arts class last semester was taught by Professor Quirrell.

Dumbledore even saved his salary and didn't pay him.

I think Dumbledore has tasted the sweetness.

When Lockhart is caught because of the curse in this class, maybe Dumbledore can blackmail him. Harry said seriously.

Harry, Dumbledore may not be a good man in the true sense. He also has a dark side, but he is not shameless to this extent. Sirius said half-doubtfully.

Sirius, you are wrong.

They are dark wizards. What morality can we talk about with dark wizards! Harry said with regret.

For some reason, this gave Sirius a stronger feeling of James.

He used to say this about Slytherin students.

In the past, although Sirius always went to trouble the Slytherins first, there was also James' influence behind this.

The same is true for dealing with Snape.

It is not shameful to fight against dark wizards together!

This is the unity of justice!

The power that dark wizards cannot learn!

Single duel means that the opponent challenges the four of them!

Group fight means that the opponent gang fights up all the people the four of them have found!

These are James' famous sayings.
