Hogwarts professor in Marvel

Without any hesitation, Lockhart began to talk about his research results in an excited tone, and the impact of runes on the current magic system.

However, Dumbledore's expression did not change much. He nodded from time to time, approvingly asking him to continue.

This made Lockhart feel slightly uneasy.

This time, he showed his latest research results, especially the runes, which brought changes to the current magic system.

It should be tempting to any wizard.

Why does it feel like Dumbledore's attitude isn't as enthusiastic as it seems?

After talking for a while, Lockhart paused to drink his drink and asked tentatively.

"Principal, regarding the impact of runes on the current magic system, I think with your participation, your rich knowledge will quickly advance the progress of the entire research."

"I have recently compiled some research materials. If you are interested, I will give you a copy when I return."

Chapter 93: The Heritage Library of Hogwarts (First Order 2/20)

Dumbledore did not give a clear answer to Lockhart's request. He was silent for a moment and then asked gently, "By the way, Lockhart, regarding the study of runes."

"Are you having any problems? Let's talk about it."

Dumbledore's performance made Lockhart's eyes flash with disappointment, but he still replied: "Principal, I have been studying the relationship between runes and mental power recently."

"It goes without saying that mental strength is very important to wizards."

"And I found that there are quite a few runes that can nourish the wizard's spiritual power, but the effect is too weak. I guess that spiritual power can be effectively improved by combining them."

"If we can compile a systematic guide to improvement, I believe it will be of great help to both young wizards and us in practicing magic."

"But we are currently stuck at a critical juncture. If you, as president, can join us, it will definitely help push the research forward."

Hearing Lockhart's invitation again, Dumbledore pondered for a moment, wondering what he was thinking about.

He quickly showed a gentle smile, nodded slowly, and said slowly: "Lockhart, your research is very meaningful."

"But before I join, I still want to learn more about the runes you mentioned?"

In response, Lockhart nodded without hesitation, a look of joy appeared in his eyes, and he quickly said, "Okay, Principal, I will compile a copy of my research experience and give it to you when I go back."

"If you can join our research, I believe that the results of this research will definitely earn you the Order of Merlin, First Class."

Dumbledore nodded in agreement at Lockhart's words, and then asked, "Lockhart, do you have any other ideas or questions?"

"Speak up and talk about it together."

Lockhart then told Dumbledore about his research findings on runes, trying his best to show Dumbledore how amazing they were.

Especially the promotion of the entire magic system, and even a certain degree of cognitive subversion.

The whole process can be said to be Lockhart constantly releasing one tempting hook after another, intending to attract Dumbledore into the new magic system.

As for Dumbledore, he continued to nod his head to express his agreement or praise, but he refused to give a clear answer and refused to take the bait.

This caused Lockhart's originally excited attitude to slowly decline.

Wow, at first I really thought Dumbledore was interested, but it seems a bit perfunctory as it keeps going on like this.

Are you worthy of my earnest advice?

After a while, Lockhart took the initiative to end the topic and said goodbye.

He felt that the timing was not right and that he might need to give Dumbledore more time to think.

Let's wait a few days and see what Dumbledore's attitude is. Maybe he will behave differently.

Then, Dumbledore looked at Lockhart's departing figure and fell into deep thought.

Suddenly, a voice came to my ears.

"Genius, Lockhart is worthy of being a wizard from Ravenclaw." The portrait of Headmaster Delys Devante said, "Dumbledore, how do you feel?"

"Although I cannot learn new knowledge now, through our previous exchanges, I can feel Lockhart's passion for research." The portrait of Principal Brown Kelly also praised.

"In the future, Lockhart will either become a top white wizard like Nick Mellor, or a top black wizard like Ruth Borg." The portrait of Principal Black said coldly.

"That's a bit too much, Black. Lockhart is now a professor at Hogwarts and a famous writer. How could he become a dark wizard like Ruth Borg?"

"Dalis, what Blake said is not impossible. I once taught Russ Borg that he was a typical example of someone who went down the wrong path because he was too obsessed with research."

"That's possible. You know, there are quite a few dark wizards from the Borg family. Maybe they were influenced by the family."

"........"

Soon, the portrait of the headmaster hanging on the wall started a heated discussion about the views of black wizards and white wizards. The topic even became more and more distorted, reaching the point of attacking each other's colleges.

One said that Gryffindor was a group of reckless people, another said that Slytherin was full of villains, while Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff were described as lunatics and mediocre people respectively.

Dumbledore listened quietly to everyone's discussion without taking any action.

"Everyone, please be quiet and stop talking." A voice came from the portrait of Principal Armando Dippet.

"We are all dead now, and now we are just residual memories. Don't argue about the past."

"How Lockhart develops in the future has little to do with us."

"Listen to Dumbledore's opinion. He is the headmaster of Hogwarts now."

As Principal Armando Dippet finished his words, the sounds of the surrounding portraits slowly began to quiet down.

"Albus, tell me what you think of Lockhart?" Headmaster Armando Dippet asked Dumbledore.

Regarding the question about his previous headmaster, Dumbledore pondered for a moment, rubbed his temple in distress, and said slowly: "I can't judge, and I dare not make a judgment."

"I'm worried that if I make a judgment, it will push him down a path that I don't want to see."

"After all... there has already been a case."

"It was my stubbornness and prejudice that made him choose a path that was tragic."

At this point, Dumbledore paused, and Headmaster Armando Dippet also knew who the case Dumbledore was talking about was?

Dumbledore also confided in himself the reason for the creation of Voldemort.

Then, Headmaster Dippet heard Dumbledore's somewhat curious tone.

"However, I am a little curious about which magical ruins Lockhart discovered the rune."

"It shouldn't be in modern times. It might be quite old. I need to look up some information to determine which era it was made from."

"I think that if we open the Hogwarts Heritage Library, we may be able to obtain some valuable information."

Hearing this, the images of the past Hogwarts headmasters hanging on the wall seemed to be stimulated by something, and they said in unison: "Albus Dumbledore, you must make use of this year's only chance at this moment."

Seeing this, Dumbledore was not surprised at all. He nodded gently and said, "Anyway, there is nothing going on recently."

"Besides, I don't need to worry about the cost of entry this time."

At this point, Dumbledore narrowed his eyes and said in distress: "I just hope that Lockhart will not get involved with Tom in the future. This will make it very difficult for me..."

Chapter 94 House-Elves and Goblins (First Order 3/20)

At this moment, Lockhart was on his way back to his office.

Although he was somewhat disappointed with Dumbledore's performance just now, he could still understand it.

After all, he is the headmaster of Hogwarts and the White Lord who defeated the Dark Lord twice.

It is indeed a bit unrealistic to expect to convince the other party with just a few words.

Now even Voldemort’s Horcruxes need to endure.

Not to mention a living person.

Alas, it is not easy to find a high-quality worker no matter in which world.

Lockhart was in the process of coming down the stairs.

suddenly!

He saw two familiar figures approaching.

Uh, it seems to be the Weasley twins, a pair of funny people.

"Good afternoon, professor."

George and Fred greeted Lockhart in unison.

"George, Fred, aren't you going to have lunch? Why are you walking from the Hufflepuff common room?"

Looking at the direction they were coming from, Lockhart asked curiously.

The twins looked at each other, a smile appeared on their faces, and they said, "Professor, we just went to the kitchen and had lunch."

Hearing the two's responses, Lockhart was thoughtful.

He seemed to have some impression that there seemed to be a group of house-elves in the kitchen of Hogwarts.

After thinking for a while, Lockhart asked, "George, Fred, where is the kitchen?"

The twins looked at each other, and George next to them said in a flattering tone, "Professor, can I tell you if there is a reward?"

Frege next to him also flattered: "Professor, you are so handsome and rich, you will definitely not be stingy."

"Yes, I heard that Professor Lockhart is the most generous professor in the whole Hogwarts."

"And wrote seven best-selling books..."

“…”

Lockhart looked at the two men, listening to them praising him one after another, as if they couldn't stop talking without rewards, and the corners of his eyes twitched slightly.

After a moment of silence, he said calmly: "I seem to remember that you guys last night..."

Before Lockhart could finish his words, the funny guy immediately changed his words:

"Professor, the kitchen is just down the corridor from the Hufflepuff common room."

"Yes, there is a picture of a pear over there. You can get in by scratching it."

"Professor, I have something else to do here. I'll leave first."

With that, the two of them ran towards the Gryffindor common room without waiting for Lockhart's reply.

Watching the two people leave, Lockhart walked towards the Hufflepuff common room with a smile on his face.

Humph, you little bastards, I can’t deal with you two.

Soon, not long after walking, Lockhart saw the image of the pear that the two jokers had mentioned. He walked forward and tried to tap it twice.

He took two steps back, and as the pear image shook, a door appeared in front of Lockhart.

After pushing the door open, Lockhart saw a large number of house-elves inside who were cooking non-stop.

"Professor Lockhart, what can I do for you Harvey?"

Lockhart looked down at the house-elf, whose eyes were wide, whose ears were drooping, and who was wrapped in a clean cloth provided by Hogwarts.

"Harvey, I'd like to ask, can you deliver some food to my office on a regular basis every day?" Lockhart asked.

"Of course, Professor." Harvey, the house-elf, nodded quickly after hearing it.

"Professor, what time is it? Harvey must deliver it on time?"

"Just send it to the office in the morning and evening. There is no need for it at noon."

Harvey heard this and nodded quickly: "Okay, Professor, is there anything else you need Harvey to do?"

Seeing this, Lockhart nodded in satisfaction, and asked casually, "By the way, Harvey, I'm a little curious, how did you come to Hogwarts?"

After hearing this, Harvey tapped his head with his hand and said with pride: "Professor, some of us were donated to Hogwarts by the previous owner, and some were born in Hogwarts."

"It is our greatest happiness to be able to serve Hogwarts."

"If there is anything you need, just tell me and Harvey will do it."

Looking at Harvey's fanatical face, there was no other thought in his heart, as if he was willing to sacrifice his life for Hogwarts.

Lockhart suddenly recalled the history of house-elves he had read in books, and felt a chill in his heart.

In the wizarding world, the fate of losers is usually cruel.

Then, Lockhart shook his head slightly, suppressed this thought in his heart, and asked curiously: "Harvey, does Hogwarts provide you with a salary?"
