Chapter 129

Chapter 130 After decades of Defense Against the Dark Arts professors, no one could leave Hogwarts intact.

Ives and the others stayed in the stadium all afternoon, watching the recruitment selections of the three colleges.

That’s right, there were only three houses, and Slytherin wasn’t involved. Their seeker graduated and left the team last year. It stands to reason that they should recruit a new seeker this year, but in the end, they didn’t make any move. According to people familiar with the situation, Slytherin didn’t even put a notice in the common room announcing the recruitment of new players for the Quidditch team.

This made the captains of the other three major college teams a little confused. Could it be that Slytherin was preparing some big move?

……

While eating in the auditorium in the evening, some little witches on the long table screamed crazily.

Elvis was immersed in his meal when suddenly, someone tapped him on the shoulder. He turned around and saw an annoying face – it was Lockhart.

He wore fancy clothes and grinned to show his white teeth, his signature smile.

Ives hurriedly put down his knife and fork and chewed it in his mouth���He swallowed the food, wiped his mouth with a tissue, and then asked:”Professor, what do you want from me?”

His tone was respectful, which gave Lockhart enough respect.

The smile on Lockhart’s face became even bigger,”Avis, do you have time to come to my office and have a cup of tea in the evening? As we talked before at the door of the greenhouse, I am very interested in your experience.”

“Maybe I can use this as inspiration to help you write a novel,” he said in a seductive tone. In his heart, no one can refuse the opportunity to increase his fame.

“But, professor,” Ives said hesitantly,”I still have some homework to finish.”

“It doesn’t matter,” Lockhart smiled confidently,”It’s just some pediatric homework, I can guide you through it. Or I can help you explain the reasons to your professor and ask him to exempt you from your homework. By the way, can I ask, which subject did you not finish?”

“Potions,” Ives replied.

Lockhart’s smile suddenly froze. Although he didn’t know the specific reason, the Potions professor seemed to dislike him. Snape’s gloomy eyes appeared in his eyes. In his mind, he shuddered unconsciously.

Lockhart was very good at judging people, and he had no doubt that Snape would definitely poison him if he had the chance.

“What’s up, professor, do you have any questions? Ives saw his embarrassment and said in a sinister tone:”You can’t convince Professor Snape, can you? No, can’t you?””

“how could be.”Lockhart froze in embarrassment. He wanted to say with his head held high, how dare Snape not give him, the third-class medalist of the Order of Merlin, a face.

But he didn’t dare. This is really not true. Dare, he could only choose to follow his heart.

As the atmosphere gradually solidified, a very thin, gray-haired boy ran over. He held a Muggle camera in his hand and approached the two of them enthusiastically.

“Professor Lockhart,” he bowed to Lockhart first, and then looked at Ives eagerly,”Hello, Ives, my name is Colin Creevey, I am Gryffindor new life. Please…please, can I take a picture of you?”

“Photograph?”Lockhart is no longer as enthusiastic about this matter as before, but is instantly vigilant. He still remembers how the newspapers in the past two months smeared him.

“Which newspaper are you from?”he asked

“I’m not a reporter,” Colin blushed and defended,”I’m just a photography

enthusiast who wanted to take a photo with my idol. Lockhart was visibly relieved and then laughed,”Then come on and let me fulfill your wish.”

Colin glanced at him with some confusion,”Professor Lockhart, my idol is Ivis.””

Hermione, who was eavesdropping on their conversation, covered her mouth. She almost laughed out loud.

Colin ignored Lockhart, who had a dark look on his face, and looked at Ivis expectantly,”Avis, I can Take a photo with you? I have read previous reports, my God, the youngest recipient of the Order of Merlin is still a Second Class Merlin Order!”

“I also heard from the senior students in the college. They said that at the end of last semester, you fought against the invading dark wizards in the castle. Also led the Ravenclaw team to win the championship……”Colin was talking excitedly about everything Ives had done in the past year.

He handed the camera to Hermione and asked her to take a picture of them both.

Elvis couldn’t shirk it, so he had to agree to his request.

To be honest, his feelings were very complicated. He didn’t expect that he also had a fanatical fan, which really allowed him to enjoy the same treatment as Lockhart.

After taking the photos, Colin left with a lot of gratitude.

Although Lockhart was very unhappy at being ignored, he extracted the key information from what Colin had just said. He pretended to be nonchalant and asked:”Avis, is it true that they said you defeated an invading dark wizard in the castle at the end of last semester?”

“It’s true,” Ivis nodded.

This made Lockhart look at him eagerly. Sure enough, this is a treasure boy.

Ivis said again:”Professor, the black men who invaded Hogwarts last year The wizard was actually an accomplice of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, and it was only by coincidence that I discovered his conspiracy.”

This was Dumbledore’s external statement. He did not say that Voldemort was behind last year’s incident. This would only make the entire wizarding world uneasy. After a short discussion, they decided to explain Voldemort’s identity as one of Quirrell’s. Unidentified accomplices, both of whom came to Hogwarts to steal the Philosopher’s Stone.

“Last year’s Defense Against the Dark Arts professor? Lockhart asked curiously. This was the first time he heard anyone mention the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor last year.

“Yeah, didn’t you read the report?”Avis glanced at him curiously,”Last August, a dark wizard broke into Gringotts and tried to steal the Philosopher’s Stone. It turned out that the dark wizard was Qi Qi who was the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at the school last year. Luo”

“I was traveling abroad during that time and didn’t pay attention to these things,” Lockhart said with a smile. In fact, he didn’t care about those serious reports at all. He only cared about whether he made the headlines.

“The principal only found out after his death that he was actually a dark wizard,” Ives lamented, shaking his head.

“What? You said he is dead?”Lockhart’s face fell. No one had ever told him that last year’s professor died instead of resigning.

“Of course, professor, don’t you know? Everyone says that the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is cursed. No professor who has held this position for decades has ever left Hogwarts intact.……”

The more Elvis spoke, the more energetic he became, completely ignoring Lockhart, whose face became increasingly ugly.
