I've already become a Hogwarts professor, and the system only just appeared.

Harry Potter dictated the story, while Gilderoy Lockhart across from him quickly transcribed it with a quill. Unfortunately, Harry, like Lockhart, knew very few details.

Fortunately, Lockhart's imagination was clearly excellent as a writer. He took what Harry said as an outline and conceived a dramatic story in his mind.

Harry finished telling the story quickly, and Lockhart was very excited. At this point, his thoughts were flowing like a torrent, impossible to stop. So he said to Harry, "Okay, thank you, Harry. You can go back now. I'm going to start creating art!"

"Okay, Professor!" Harry breathed a sigh of relief and turned to leave.

But just as Harry turned around, Lockhart pulled out his wand, intending to cast a "Forget All" spell on Harry.

It's impossible for Harry to forget that he came to his office tonight; even if he did forget, his roommate would remember.

Based on Lockhart's understanding of Su Yu and Harry, if he really releases a new book, Su Yu probably won't expose its contents, or even read it. But it's hard to say about a young person like Harry.

If Harry finds that what he wrote is too different from what he told him, he might say something inappropriate in front of the media, so he wants Harry to forget what he told him tonight.

That way, since his story didn't come from Harry, Harry probably wouldn't bother him.

Even if Harry still comes to confront him, he can say that this is a story he personally experienced and that Su Yu authorized. At that time, he will have many ways to appease Harry.

Lockhart was extremely skilled with the Forgetfulness Charm; he controlled the input of magic precisely enough to make Harry forget what he had told him.

When Harry woke up, Lockhart was about to tell him that he had asked him to stay there and reply to the fans' letters, but Harry was too tired and fell asleep.

"Forget everything!" With everything ready, Lockhart gracefully waved his wand, and a creamy white spell shot from the tip of the wand, heading straight for Harry's back.

However, at this moment, the pendant that Su Yu gave to Harry last year was activated. This pendant, which was originally meant to protect Harry from Quirrell, immediately erected a shield behind Harry.

The off-white spell struck the shield, causing ripples that bounced the spell back along its original path, even more powerfully than Lockhart's earlier spell.

Things happened so fast that Lockhart had no time to defend himself and was struck by the off-white spell, collapsing onto the sofa.

Harry heard a thud, turned around, and saw Lockhart had fainted. Completely stunned, he rushed over and shook Lockhart a few times, calling out, "Professor Lockhart, are you alright? Are you alright!"

Ten minutes later, Su Yu arrived at Lockhart's office. Harry stood to the side, looking like a child who had made a mistake. He said:

“Professor Su Yu, it really has nothing to do with me. I was just about to leave when Professor Lockhart suddenly fainted.”

Su Yu looked around the scene and saw Lockhart's wand lying on the ground, a draft of the notes on the table, and sensed that the pendant around Harry's neck had been triggered. He immediately understood what had happened.

Unexpectedly, Lockhart dared to use the Oblivion Charm on a student. Su Yu's eyes turned cold. He said to Harry, "It's alright, Professor Lockhart is just a little tired. You can leave now."

After Harry left, Su Yu first took Lockhart's manuscript, then used a levitation charm to throw him onto the bed, creating the illusion that Lockhart was asleep.

He was about to deal with Lockhart. Actually, Su Yu hadn't planned to make a move against Lockhart so soon, after all, he was the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts.

If he gets rid of Lockhart, given Dumbledore's nature, he might very well make him take over the position, just like last year. Just thinking about that terrifying workload gave Su Yu a headache.

But Lockhart is now using the Oblivion Charm on his students, which is going too far. Using this magic on children could potentially cause permanent brain damage.

However, Su Yu did not intend to do it himself, but instead attributed the credit to Arthur Weasley, paving the way for his future promotion.

Su Yu opened his phone and made a voice call to Rita Skeeter. Soon after, a lazy and affected female voice came through: "Boss, what's up so late?"

"Have you collected all the information about Gilderoy Lockhart that I asked you to gather before?" Su Yu asked directly.

“Of course!” Rita Skeeter was excited. “Boss, I never expected Lockhart to be such a person behind the scenes. I found the original protagonists in all his stories, and without exception, all of them had their memories destroyed by him using the Ephemeral Oblivion technique.”

"Fortunately, St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Arts has recently developed a special potion to treat this kind of amnesia. Although it cannot fully restore the memory, they have recovered some of it!"

Su Yu was very satisfied: "Where are these people now?"

Rita Skeeter said, "They are all still recuperating in St. Mungo's. Some of them already want to go out and take revenge, but I have been suppressing them. I told them that the purpose of finding them is to let them take revenge, and to tell them to calm down."

“Very good. Contact Arthur Weasley and take him to meet these people. Then you can come to Hogwarts to arrest them.” Su Yu gave the final instructions.

"Received, boss!"

……

After hanging up with Rita Skeeter, Su Yu called Arthur Weasley again: "Arthur, Rita Skeeter will contact you later; she has another big case for you to handle."

"Su, thank you!" Arthur didn't know what to say. His reputation and status in the Ministry of Magic were growing day by day, all thanks to Su Yu's help. He could only silently remember it in his heart.

Actually, asking Arthur to handle this kind of thing is a bit of a stretch, since his job is the office that prohibits the misuse of Muggle items. Lockhart's situation should be left to the Aurors.

However, since Su Yu handed all the evidence to Arthur, Arthur could be seen as the person in charge of this matter. In addition, given his position as the office director, it wasn't impossible for him to handle the situation.

Besides Arthur, Su Yu also informed Kingsley, asking him to be Arthur's assistant. After all, Su Yu had asked Kingsley for help in finding Dracula last time, and his girlfriend was working for Kingsley, so it would be good to get closer to him.

When Lockhart woke up from his slumber, he had no recollection of ever calling Harry to his office, and even his memory of going to see Su Yu was somewhat hazy.

In the following days, Lockhart continued teaching as usual, telling the children about the experiences in his novels, but he didn't say a word about actual defense against the dark magic.

Chapter 135 Caught in the Net

At the end of January, on a Friday, a group of uninvited guests arrived at Hogwarts Castle, led by Arthur Weasley, followed by Kingsley's squad, with Tonks also among them.

Besides these law enforcement officers, Rita Skeeter and a photographer followed behind, clearly arranged by Su Yu.

After arriving at the school, they went straight to Dumbledore's office. Su Yu didn't inform Dumbledore about this, since there were documents from the Ministry of Magic, and Dumbledore wouldn't stop them.

“Headmaster Dumbledore, this is an arrest warrant from the Ministry of Magic. Your professor Gilderoy Lockhart is suspected of multiple cases of illegally erasing other people’s memories. We need to take him back for questioning.” Arthur handed over the arrest warrant.

Dumbledore naturally knew that Lockhart had problems. In fact, he invited Lockhart to teach at the school so that he could observe him closely. However, he did not expect that the Ministry of Magic would arrest him before he could find any evidence.

After taking the arrest warrant, Dumbledore examined it carefully and then asked, "Arthur, is the evidence conclusive?"

Arthur Weasley nodded: "Absolutely. The victim has been found and is receiving treatment at St. Mungo's Hospital, where he has regained some of his memories."

Dumbledore nodded: "In that case, let's go."

Dumbledore returned the arrest warrant, but he had no intention of getting involved; he was only arresting Lockhart and it wouldn't cause any trouble.

After Arthur Weasley left, Dumbledore took out his phone, first told Professor McGonagall about the situation and asked her to go to the scene to assist, and then sent a message to Su Yu, asking him to come to his office.

At this moment, Lockhart was unaware that he was about to face a great calamity. He was teaching a class of second-year students, speaking eloquently on the podium, recounting his past achievements.

Ron said to Harry with a look of disdain, "This guy can't do anything but brag. I haven't learned a single practical spell this semester."

Hermione heard this, turned around, and looked at her with a disappointed expression: "Can't you read books and study by yourself? And the Duel Club, you've never signed up to play a match!"

Ron was about to retort when suddenly the classroom door was pushed open, and he saw his father, Arthur Weasley.

Ron was stunned, thinking he had done something wrong again and his dad was coming to the school to arrest him. His first instinct was to crawl under the table.

However, Arthur did not look at him, but instead addressed Lockhart on the podium: "Mr. Gilderoy Lockhart, you are hereby arrested for multiple cases of unlawful memory erasure. This is the arrest warrant. You have the right to remain silent, but everything you say can be used against you in court!"

Lockhart was stunned, completely bewildered as to why this had suddenly happened, but his mind worked quickly, and he swiftly deduced what was going on from Arthur Weasley's words.

Had his secret been exposed? Probably not, but looking at the expressions of the people opposite him, and that genuine arrest warrant, Lockhart felt a little uneasy.

How am I supposed to escape from Hogwarts, where I can't use Apparition?

Thinking this, Lockhart revealed a bright smile: "Haha, Arthur, my friend, you're quite the joker. I am Lockhart, a member of the Knights of Merlin..."

Lockhart delivered his usual speech as he walked toward Arthur Weasley as if he were meeting an old friend.

Arthur Weasley and his companions, however, remained expressionless. Upon seeing Lockhart's actions, they immediately drew their wands and silently became wary.

The young wizards below were completely bewildered. They had just been having a good lesson, so how did things suddenly become so exciting? Some of them had just dozed off and had no idea what was going on.

Suddenly Lockhart glided quickly, and before Arthur Weasley could react, he was right next to Ron, drew his wand, and pressed it against Ron's neck.

"Don't come any closer! Don't come any closer, Arthur Weasley! Your son is in my hands! Get out of the way!" Lockhart roared, his expression turning ferocious.

Ron was terrified; his face contorted in pain, as if he were about to cry. Lockhart, holding Ron hostage, slowly led him out of the classroom.

He now had to escape the boundaries of Hogwarts Castle so he could use Apparition, but as he slowly moved out of the classroom, a voice came from behind him.

"Petrify them all!" These were the last words Lockhart heard before he was petrified. He tried to turn his head to see who had attacked him from behind, but he couldn't manage it.

"Su!" Tonks called out the name of the newcomer, then quickly ran to Su Yu's side: "Thank God, you came just in time. I never expected this guy to be so shameless, using students as hostages."

Su Yu affectionately ruffled Tonks's hair: "You've seen all his crimes, right? Do you really expect him to be any more noble?"

At this moment, Arthur, Kingsley, and Rita Skeeter also stepped forward, greeted Su Yu one by one, and expressed their gratitude.

Arthur led his men back to the Ministry of Magic, and Professor McGonagall came over and patted Su Yu on the shoulder: "You're getting more and more reliable!"

Su Yu smiled and said, "It's what I should do. After all, from now on, I'm the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts for these kids!"

……

Rewinding to a dozen minutes earlier, Su Yu arrived at Dumbledore's office at his invitation. Dumbledore said directly, "Su, you arranged Lockhart's matter, didn't you?"

Su Yu didn't hide anything: "I've suspected he's involved for a while now, and I had Rita Skeeter secretly look for evidence of his crimes. I wasn't planning to deal with him so quickly, but he used a Forgetfulness Charm on Harry a couple of days ago..."

After Su Yu finished explaining everything, Dumbledore nodded: "Su, you did the right thing, but we have a problem now."

"With Lockhart arrested, we are short-staffed again for Defense Against the Dark Arts. Your teaching results last year were outstanding, so I think it's best if you continue to take over this position."

As expected, Su Yu felt a sharp pain in his teeth and immediately said, "I refuse! I already have a lot of work to do, and now I also have to research and create a container to seal Voldemort. I simply can't handle it all!"

Dumbledore noticed that although Su Yu said those words, he didn't move his buttocks. Judging from the way Su Yu had refused before, he should have already turned around and left.

So Dumbledore tentatively asked, "Tell me your conditions, and I will try my best to meet them if I can."

A faint smile appeared on Su Yu's lips. He had indeed thought of this long ago, but he still came, naturally prepared. So he said, "It's not impossible for me to be the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, but my condition is..."

Taking a day off, wishing you good luck in the Year of the Horse.

Sorry, I'm a bit busy today, so I'll be taking a day off. Updates will resume as usual during the Spring Festival.

Wishing everyone a prosperous Year of the Horse, family reunions, abundant wealth, successful careers, good health, and all your wishes come true!

Finally, I'd like to wish my brother Kuang many girlfriends in the new year!

Chapter 136 Achievement Farming

Su Yu looked at Dumbledore and made his request: "If I were to become the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, my condition is that Ravenclaw wins this year's House Cup!"

"What?" Three question marks appeared above Dumbledore's head. He had considered more than a dozen requests, but he never expected that Su Yu would make this in the end.

On another note, Su Yu, you're not the dean of Ravenclaw. Whether Ravenclaw wins the championship or not doesn't give you a raise. Why are you so concerned about this?

Dumbledore looked puzzled and coughed twice before saying, "Sue, you know I don't get involved in the House Cup; that depends on the children's performance."

Su Yu leaned back strategically, looking at Dumbledore with a mocking expression: "Headmaster, I remember at the end of last term, Slytherin was originally in first place, right? You just gave Harry and the other two over a hundred points, pulling Gryffindor from third to first place. Is that what you call not participating?"

"You should know about this. These three children's courage in facing Voldemort is indeed commendable..." Dumbledore defended himself.

Su Yu waved his hand and said, "Headmaster, this is my only request. If you agree, I will take on the Defense Against the Dark Arts class. If you don't agree, then you'll have to find someone else!"
