Marvel's Hogwarts Professor

Facing Principal Black's question, Dumbledore did not answer directly. Instead, he took off his half-moon glasses, wiped them gently, and said, "I discovered something when I was communicating with Harry just now. Harry was riding in the Weasley family's modified flying car and almost fell off. Lockhart must have seen this scene."

Upon hearing this, Principal Black fell silent, waiting for Dumbledore to continue.

Dumbledore sighed softly. "I chatted with Lockhart before and found that his talent is indeed exceptional. However, I discovered that besides his passion for magic research, he seems indifferent to other things. It appears he has been immersed in his own world and does not care about things that do not concern him. Just like when Harry almost fell earlier, Lockhart saw that Harry was safe, so he didn't make any move. Even just now, he didn't mention the incident at all, as if he didn't see anything."

Hearing this, Principal Black, known for being the most unpopular, said in a somewhat mocking tone, "Oh, I understand now. Our Principal Dumbledore wants to change Lockhart's attitude. Are you trying to pull him into your little group? Dumbledore, you are still the same!"

In response to Principal Black's mocking tone, Dumbledore smiled, put on his half-moon glasses, and did not reply.

At that moment, if Lockhart had heard the exchange between the two, he might have felt aggrieved and complained. However, because he knew the plot, he wasn't worried about Harry Potter at all and therefore didn't mention it.

Lockhart walked toward his lounge with brisk steps. The more he thought about it, the more he realized that the duel club Dumbledore asked him to organize had great potential.

Do you need to prepare a magic potion to prevent the little wizards from getting hurt? Do they need to prepare corresponding magic items to hone their dueling skills? Do we need to invite some other professors and set an example for them in dueling?

A series of preparations appeared in his mind. Although it was a bit much, it made him feel very happy. He liked this kind of work, especially sharing dueling experiences with the young wizards.

Such a great opportunity. As long as Professor McGonagall approved the application, and as the organizer and founder of the club, he could get these resources in advance and make reasonable plans.

As long as he completed Dumbledore's mission, even if there were some minor mistakes in the process, he wouldn't say anything more. After all, if the water is too clear, there will be no fish. If you want the horse to run fast, how can it be possible without feeding it more food and grass?

As Lockhart thought about it, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. A list of resources had already been made in his mind. It depended on how he convinced Professor McGonagall to sign off on it.

Late night at Hogwarts.

Squeak!

With a subtle sound, the door of Lockhart's lounge opened quietly. Lockhart walked out and closed the door gently behind him. Looking at the deserted and quiet corridor, Lockhart nodded with satisfaction.

Then he cast an Invisibility Spell on himself, and his figure quietly disappeared. Looking at his now invisible self, Lockhart felt a surge of excitement. When he came to Hogwarts, he had to experience the classic night tour. Of course, night travel was not the purpose. The most important thing was the Room of Requirement!

There were many magical places in Hogwarts, and the Room of Requirement was definitely one of the best. If he had to talk about the pinnacle of magic in the world of Harry Potter, Lockhart believed that the magical castle of Hogwarts deserved the title. The most magical place in the entire school was the Room of Requirement. He had been curious about it for a long time.

In his previous life, technology was typically materialistic, emphasizing that matter determines consciousness. In this life, magic was a typical idealism, emphasizing that consciousness determines matter. The Room of Requirement changed with the user's consciousness, vividly showing the wonder of magic in the Harry Potter world. In Lockhart's opinion, if he could thoroughly study the Room of Requirement, his magic would be qualitatively improved. Therefore, before coming to Hogwarts, he had compiled nine conjectures on how the Room of Requirement changes, preparing to verify them one by one and study slowly.

With his thoughts turning, Lockhart walked quietly deeper into the corridor.

Third floor!

Fourth floor!

Lockhart took the stairs two at a time and walked briskly toward the upper floor.

The Room of Requirement was on the seventh floor. He remembered that it was related to a tapestry, but which tapestry was unclear. However, when he went to the principal's office before, he saw a tapestry of a troll beating Barnabas the Barmy. It was also the largest tapestry in the corridor. He speculated that the entrance to the Room of Requirement might be related to this tapestry.

Even if it wasn't, it didn't matter. He had been counting silently in his mind before. There were only five tapestries in the entire corridor on the eighth floor, and he could only experiment four times at most. The entrance would definitely be found, and it would only take some time at most.

Well, he had made detailed preparations for the Room of Requirement. A faint smile appeared on Lockhart's face as he kept reviewing his plans in his mind. He just liked the feeling of having everything under control.

Suddenly!

Da da da.

As soon as Lockhart reached the sixth floor, the sound of rapid footsteps suddenly reached his ears.

"George, run quickly, Snape is coming."

"Go forward, pass two intersections, and turn left. There's a passage there. You can go that way."

"Yep."

Lockhart hid as George and Fred sped past him, hearing their hurried conversation. His face changed slightly.

Oops!

Lockhart cursed secretly and quickly followed George and Fred, avoiding Snape together. It would be very embarrassing if Snape discovered him. But the further Lockhart walked, the more he felt something was wrong. He always felt that something was amiss.

Then, he turned around behind George and Fred.

Suddenly!

Snap!

Lockhart patted his head, an embarrassed look on his face. He is so stupid. He is not a student; he is a professor. When students go out at night, that's called a night outing. It's against school rules, and they are naturally afraid of being caught by a professor. But if a professor goes out at night, that's not called a night outing; that's called patrolling.

Immediately, Lockhart touched his body with his wand and released the Invisibility Spell. Then...

"Wingardium Leviosa!" Lockhart waved his wand, and George and Fred, who were running away in front of him, were instantly captured by the Levitation Charm and floated in front of Lockhart.

He glanced at the struggling twins, feeling the resentment in their eyes. Then he looked at Professor Snape walking toward him.

Lockhart said with an upright face, "Professor Snape, I caught two little wizards wandering at night. What do you think their punishment should be?"
