From Azkaban To Hogwarts

William had imagined what his new colleague would look like, but he had no idea that his new colleague would be a toothache.

Taking into account the various magical creatures and various magical transformation techniques in the magical world, he did not rule out that the other party was actually a puppet made with dentures or a magic prop or something.

"This is Professor Gilderoy Lockhart," Professor McGonagall introduced to William with a rare troubled expression on her face.

"This is Professor Lee William."

"It is an honor that Hogwarts has welcomed two, um, wizard self-defense magic learning professors this year. This is rare in previous years. Although I have said it many times, I would like to repeat it here. Welcome Come to Hogwarts."

William shook hands with the toothy man named Lockhart and said hello, and then sat on the two chairs facing Professor McGonagall - Lockhart's white teeth popped out from time to time, reminding William that he had just spoken to him. A new colleague’s guess.

Professor McGonagall began to clear the table.

Various reports and bills were piled together by Professor McGonagall. A few lively shorthand feathers jumped into the drawer under the professor's wand. William glanced at the piled files and found that the top file had the heading " For Dumbledore.

There is no doubt that Dumbledore left most of the school affairs to the deputy headmaster.

In his mind, he was guessing how much control the first white wizard had. William handed over the form he had compiled including the selection of teaching materials and the grades he wished to be responsible for.

Professor McGonagall took the form, looked at it carefully for a while, then took out Lockhart's application form from the table and compared the two.

"There's nothing wrong with the textbooks or anything else, but there seems to be a lot of conflict between the two of you regarding your professorial grade."

Professor McGonagall pushed out the form and said:

"You have all chosen lower-level students, but upper-level students also need professors, especially as they are approaching their major exams and need guidance from professors."

William took a look at Lockhart's form and found that the other party had chosen grades one to five, leaving out grades six and seven.

As for William, considering his lack of experience, he simply chose only the first to fourth grades, leaving the upper grades to new professors with more orthodox education.

So the question becomes, who will teach the upper grades?

Professor McGonagall set her sights on Lockhart—although both professors had no working experience, she preferred Lockhart.

Mr. Lockhart is much older than William, and has spent more time immersed in magic. He has a lot of shining names, and his adventures are actually written in the book. His strength and experience are much better than William's. William is too strong.

Personally, after all, William is a wild wizard who has not received a Hogwarts education. With the establishment of Hogwarts over the past millennium, such wild wizards have become less and less, and their strength is even more uneven, and Lockhart He is an orthodox Ravenclaw graduate with excellent academic performance. Professor McGonagall believes in this Hogwarts graduate (Note 1).

In any case, Lockhart is more suitable to be a senior professor than William.

But when Professor McGonagall was about to speak, Lockhart spoke quickly before her.

"Although I really hope to teach senior students, I have some good friendships with those who are responsible for setting exam questions. In order to avoid someone using this to slander those students and benefiting from it, I think it is best for me not to get involved. Go among the students who are about to take exams."

William was stunned - what kind of fairy excuse is this?

Black three in one breath?

He slanders the invigilators for engaging in malpractice for personal gain. He thinks that the relationship between the school professors and the examiners is not as good as his personal relationship. He also thinks that the school candidates will happily cheat?

Also, if this is true, why do you even teach fifth graders?

William watched Professor McGonagall's expression turn bad, but the professor seemed to hold back.

"Well, in that case, Professor William, do you have any difficulty with being a professor of wizard self-defense magic for senior students?"

Yes, William wanted to say so, but his excuse was obviously not as strong as Lockhart's.

Anyway, he didn't mind being a senior professor, so he simply didn't turn it down.

"Okay, then I will be in charge of the sixth and seventh grade students. Although this is a bit beyond my initial expectations, there is still one month left, so it is enough to prepare lessons."

"It is too tiring to serve as a professor for five grades at once, and the fifth grade students are also facing O.W.Ls. I hope Professor William can take responsibility for the fifth grade students as well."

Professor McGonagall quickly wrote on the two people's forms. William noticed that Lockhart's expression was a little unhappy, but Lockhart had no objection to this decision.

"Then, I will notify the students to purchase the textbooks they have ordered, and their class schedules and lounge arrangements will be delivered via owl within the next week."

After the professor finished speaking, he looked at the time. It was time to see off the guests after finishing the work.

William and Lockhart stood up to say goodbye, but just after William finished saying goodbye, Professor McGonagall suddenly added.

"Professor William, please wait a moment. I suddenly remembered that the elective electives for sixth grade students have not been discussed yet. This needs to be divided according to the results of O.W.Ls."

In fact, this is not a complicated matter.

After fifth-grade students pass the O.W.Ls examination, the courses for sixth- and seventh-grade students become elective courses. Only students who are interested in continuing their studies or have requirements for their future careers will continue their studies - but the places for further studies need to be divided according to previous examinations.

But whether Professor McGonagall intended it or not, William saw the list of textbooks selected by Lockhart.

"Walking with Ghouls" by Gilderoy Lockhart, "Holiday with a Dominatrix" by Gilderoy Lockhart... "A Year with the XZ Snowman" by Gilderoy Lockhart

A long list of books, books written by Lockhart,

Is this professor really here for class? Are you sure you're not selling books?

Considering that the sixth and seventh grade students had to go through two screening processes, William had reason to suspect that Lockhart had given up on these two grades purely because of the lack of students.

"Students whose grades are E (i.e. good, second level) can also take electives. Maybe they will perform poorly in the exam. If their future career plans require a higher-level certificate, they will have a chance to work hard."

William looked at the transcript carefully and generously released a batch of registration qualifications - normally only the highest grade O is allowed.

"Okay, I will notify those students. The registration number will be sent to you when the semester starts. The class schedule and classroom arrangements will also be sent out at the same time."

After saying this to William, Professor McGonagall raised her head and found Hagrid who had not left the office door.

"Oh, Hagrid, I'm sorry, I just forgot about you. What's the matter with you?"

Note: Lockhart graduated from Ravenclaw and almost entered Slytherin when he was sorted. He had excellent grades. He asked the principal to start a school newspaper, engraved his name in capital letters on the Quidditch pitch, and projected his avatar onto Hogg Watts's greatest act was to send himself eight hundred Valentine's Day cards (while attending Hogwarts).

Entered Hogwarts Ravenclaw in 1975. At that time, Dumbledore had already become the principal, and Professor McGonagall served as the transfiguration professor, but it is not certain whether Professor McGonagall taught it.
