Even just one feather on the body would cost dozens of gold Galleons.

Seeing the Phoenix not far away, Lockhart subconsciously wanted to get closer to it.

"cough!"

Dumbledore coughed lightly and looked at Lockhart with shining eyes, as if reminding him of something.

Lockhart immediately came back to his senses and his expression became serious, as if he had never had any evil thoughts just now.

Then, he watched Dumbledore close the cover of the book, his expression froze for a moment, and then he said with a smile on his face: "Principal Dumbledore, I didn't expect that you also like the book I wrote."

The cover of the book has conspicuous words engraved on it: "Life with the Snowmen" by Gilderoy Lockhart.

"It's a well-written and interesting book." Dumbledore smiled without any concealment, then took the book away, revealing a character profile.

When Lockhart saw this, his pupils shrank. Instead of lowering his head, he straightened his chest and showed a brighter smile on his face, as if he was hiding something.

"Needham Mike, male, 45 years old, lives in the Himalayas, and has been with snow monsters for many years..."

Damn it, if this isn’t a test from Dumbledore, then damn it.

Needham Mac is the person who provided the material for the book "Days with the Snow Monster".

The original body stole his memory and wrote this book.

Putting a book and a list together, even a fool would know that Dumbledore would become suspicious.

I just don't know...

How much did Dumbledore know?

"Principal, what do you want to know about the yeti? The living characters in the book are right in front of you," Lockhart said self-deprecatingly with some humor.

"Haha, speaking of snow monsters, I really want to learn more about them." Dumbledore laughed, raised the book at hand and asked, "I thought the best way to deal with snow monsters was the Flaming Curse, but I didn't expect that the book was completely different from what I thought."

"Principal, in this regard, the Yeti is indeed different from what most wizards think. This is because the Yeti has lived in ice and snow for a long time and has extremely strong magical defense capabilities. Ordinary spells cannot cause any harm to it."

"At the same time, in the ice and snow, the power of the flame spell will be reduced. It is not the best choice."

"To deal with snow monsters, I personally recommend using the tripping spell. Although it is a small evil spell, it is still effective because snow monsters move slowly and have shorter legs."

"It's easy to fall because of the tripping curse. Escape, capture, or even kill are the only options."

"It seems that you are quite experienced in this area." Dumbledore smiled after hearing this, "It seems that choosing you for the Defense Against the Dark Arts course was a good choice."

Hearing this, Lockhart smiled and said nothing more.

Since he knew that this teaching assignment was risky, and he was not stupid, he must digest the knowledge in his memory.

Stolen memories are still memories, and knowledge can never be false.

By the way, stealing memories seems to be a shortcut to learning knowledge.

The thought flashed through his mind, and Lockhart kept it deep in his heart.

Chapter 23: Lockhart is crazy about adding his own stuff! (Please read, invest, and recommend)

"Ahem!" Dumbledore coughed lightly. Lockhart reluctantly withdrew his gaze from the Phoenix again. "Lockhart, tell me about your ideas for teaching young wizards."

Although he was interrupted by Dumbledore, Lockhart couldn't help but take another look, and then said seriously: "Principal, do you know what is the most important part of an adventure?"

Without waiting for Dumbledore to answer, Lockhart continued, "That is to collect enough information, because risks may be triggered at any time. Sufficient information will allow us to calmly deal with unknown dangers."

"I have previously collected information about the Defense Against the Dark Arts professors in recent years, but I found that..."

Lockhart paused, trying to reorganize his words and express his meaning tactfully.

"Perhaps because of the curse, the foundations of the young wizards are too weak and need to be strengthened."

"So, my idea is that it would be best to increase the hours of Defense Against the Dark Arts in the early stages so that they can master as much knowledge as possible."

Dumbledore nodded and gave Lockhart a look that urged him to go on.

"In order to enable the young wizards to quickly digest the knowledge learned in class." Lockhart said, "I suggest adding practical courses, which can also improve their combat experience."

"This can be considered, but you must pay attention to the safety of the little wizard." Dumbledore instructed.

"Okay, I will definitely pay attention to this." Lockhart responded and continued to tell his thoughts. "I think that fifth-year wizards are facing the OWLs exams and they are under the most pressure, so they must be repeatedly asked to review their knowledge."

"My idea is to have them do a lot of tests and papers to strengthen their knowledge for the exam."

"Well, this suggestion can be tried." Dumbledore raised his eyebrows, as if he thought this suggestion was very good.

"Students in grades six and seven are under less pressure and are about to graduate, so we can relax them and let them look for employment opportunities outside."

Dumbledore nodded and Lockhart continued.

"Young wizards in the first and second grades may have just been exposed to magic. If they are exposed to too much serious knowledge, they will easily develop a dislike for learning magic. So I suggest adding more practical courses to enhance their interest in magic." Lockhart subconsciously raised his voice, as if he was a little excited.

"So, you chose your seven books to use as textbooks," Dumbledore asked.

Lockhart smiled awkwardly and said seriously: "Of course, that's what I meant at first."

"We should study magic based on interest, not purely on study. The books I write are very interesting and informative."

As he spoke further, Lockhart became more and more confident, as if this was exactly what he had been thinking before.

“It is perfect as a textbook.”

Dumbledore nodded, seeming to agree with the point Lockhart made.

Lockhart seemed a little excited when he saw this, and continued, "First and second year wizards can pursue the fun of magic."

"But third-year and fourth-year wizards are different. They have already been exposed to a lot of magic. At this time, we can emphasize knowledge and reduce practical courses. We need to provide them with more magical knowledge."

"We must make them indulge in the ocean of knowledge and unable to extricate themselves."

Hearing this, Dumbledore nodded. As a professor, he agreed very much.

It is definitely good for students to learn more knowledge.

Dumbledore's look of approval immediately excited Lockhart, and he began to talk nonstop: "I have another suggestion. We must focus on training those outstanding young wizards."

"The efficiency of ordinary wizards and outstanding young wizards in absorbing knowledge is completely different. It can be said that the difference is huge."

"As for the wizards I know, I know a young wizard who is only in the first grade, but she has already mastered the brewing of Polyjuice Potion. Even many adult wizards are unable to master advanced potions."

"So, I think we should focus on training those young wizards with better talents. We can convene a Lockhart Club to discuss this."

At this point, Lockhart's tone became more and more excited, and he began to add his own personal opinions crazily.

"I think that those excellent young wizards who have already digested the knowledge learned in class can learn new knowledge."

"I can teach them some of my own adventures, some of the spells I have mastered, and my thoughts on magic..."

"..."

"At the same time, we can work together around a magic project, such as studying an unknown rune or an unknown magic metal, to cultivate everyone's research awareness and research capabilities..."

"......"

"Regarding some magic projects, our professors publish their own papers and also add the names of the little wizards so that they can get a wonderful resume..."

“…”

"Also, it would be best if the professors of Potions and Charms could join in, so that the young wizards can experience the abilities of top wizards..."

"..."

"That's great, Principal Dumbledore, you can also join us and show them what it means to be a world-class wizard..."

“…”

Faced with Lockhart's crazy act of adding his own private goods, Dumbledore's face froze slightly.

The more he listened, the more he felt that Professor Lockhart did not seem to be cultivating outstanding students. Instead, he seemed to be using these excellent young wizards as workers, and he seemed to be including professors like them in the mix.

"Cough! Cough!" Dumbledore coughed several times, interrupting Lockhart's chatter.

Faced with Dumbledore's interruption, Lockhart stopped talking with some regret, as he still had many ideas that he hadn't expressed.

Some novel magic projects urgently need the participation of excellent wizards.

But he still asked shamelessly: "Professor Dumbledore, do you think my suggestion just now is particularly good?"

"I think the effect will be better if it is put into practice. If you can participate, I believe the little wizards at Hogwarts will be very excited."

Faced with the somewhat shameless Lockhart, Dumbledore hesitated, but was a little embarrassed to refuse directly, and said: "There is no rush for this."

"You can try to convene a club first. If those young wizards and professors are willing to participate..."

Hearing this, Lockhart immediately smiled brightly.

He seemed to see a large number of young wizards and Hogwarts professors studying runes, magical materials from the Marvel world, the magic of Kamar-Taj, and so on with him.

As for whether this knowledge will be leaked, he is not worried.

He is not stupid. What he can study must be within the basic scope, and he will definitely not study anything advanced.

Even if we bring it out, they won't be able to understand it without any foundation.

He would not stand in the way of leaking this knowledge.

He will even promote the spread of this new magical knowledge in the wizarding world.

A brand-new magic system is bound to stir up the current wizarding world, which is somewhat rigid in class structure.

And out of the chaos, new opportunities will emerge.

Whoever can seize the greatest opportunity can influence and even control the entire wizarding world.

And who else but me!!!

Lockhart thought silently in his heart.

Then......

Dumbledore's sudden words brought Lockhart back to his senses.

"Lockhart, I have a request, about Harry Potter..."

Chapter 24 Dumbledore's surprise!! (Seeking follow-up reading, investment, and recommendation votes)

"Harry Potter, you should understand his special identity." A trace of distress flashed across Dumbledore's face, as if he was confiding in Lockhart, "I believe you are an excellent professor."

"So, I think you should pay more attention to Harry. He is a good seedling worth cultivating."

Hearing this, Lockhart nodded heavily, as if he agreed with Dumbledore's point of view: "Indeed, Harry's family has made great contributions to the entire wizarding world."

Then.....

Dumbledore seemed to suddenly think of something and asked, "I remember you met Harry Potter a few days ago."

"How do you feel about him?"

"Although he is a little reserved, I can feel his bravery." Lockhart praised loudly and unceremoniously, "Harry's magical level is far beyond that of ordinary little wizards."

"As expected of the offspring of Lily and Potter, he has perfectly inherited Potter's bloodline and Lily's intelligence."

Well, Lockhart could barely be considered a classmate of Snape and James Potter.

It’s just...there’s only two grades between them.

When James Potter had already made a name for himself at Hogwarts, Lockhart was just a little wizard.

As a student of Ravenclaw, he was unwilling to have much contact with the little lion of Gryffindor and the little snake of Slytherin.

In other words, the original body was somewhat jealous of Potter's fame, jealous of his fame throughout Hogwarts.

So...the relationship between the two sides can only be described as average.

This did not prevent him from using it to praise Harry Potter.

"In that case, you must pay attention to Harry's safety." Dumbledore mentioned it casually, "I heard that you gave Harry Potter seven of your books and a magic amulet."

"What does this amulet do?" Dumbledore asked with a hint of curiosity. "Can it protect against deadly dangers like the Shield Charm?"

Lockhart was not surprised at all by Dumbledore's question. His previous performance of casting spells without a wand at Flourish and Blotts and giving Harry Potter the magic amulet were all to pave the way for this moment.

It's a pity though...it seems Dumbledore is not interested in his wandless spellcasting.

Thinking about it, Lockhart directly rejected it and said, "No, Headmaster, this magic amulet only serves as a warning."
