Chapter 35 Are you here to sell books?
William imagined what his new colleague was like, but he totally didn't expect, the new colleague was a toothbrush.

Considering the magic circle all kinds of magical creatures and all kinds of magical transfiguration, he does not rule out that the other party is actually a puppet or magic prop made with false teeth.

"This is Gilderoy ·Professor Lockhart," Professor McGonagall, with a rare troubled look on his face, introduced introduced to William.

"This is Professor Lee (lee) William."

"It's a great honor for Hogwarts to welcome two, um, wizard self-defense magic study professors this year. Very common, although it has been said many times, I will repeat it here, welcome to Hogwarts."

William shook hands with the tooth man named Lockhart and said hello, and then sat down separately. In the two chairs facing Professor McGonagall - Lockhart's white teeth popped out every now and then, reminding William of what he had just guessed about his new colleague.

Professor McGonagall begins to clear the table.

All kinds of reports and bills were stacked together by Professor McGonagall, a few lively shorthand feathers jumped into the drawer under the professor's wand, William glanced at the stacked documents, It was found that the header of the top file was addressed to Dumbledore.

There is no doubt that Dumbledore left most of the school affairs to the Deputy Headmistress.

Inwardly guessing how many arm-flinging shopkeepers the first white wizard is, William handed out a list of textbook selections and grades he wants 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 desk and compared it in pairs.

"The textbooks are all right, but there seems to be a lot of conflict between the two of you in your grades."

Professor McGonagall pushed the form out and said:

"You all chose the junior students, but the senior students also need professors, especially since they are nearing the big test, and they need the professor's tutoring."

William glanced at Lockhart's table and noticed that the other The choice is one to Fifth Year, leaving six Seventh Years out.

On William's side, considering his inexperience, he simply chose only one fourth year, leaving the senior years to new professors who received a more orthodox education.

So the question arises, who will teach the seniors?

Professor McGonagall has her sights set on Lockhart—although neither professor has experience, she prefers Lockhart.

Yu Gong, Lockhart is a lot older than William, and has spent more time immersed in magic. He has a lot of shining names on his body, and his adventures are actually put in the book. Strength and experience are much stronger than William.

For personal reasons, William is an unorthodox wizard who has not received Hogwarts education. With the establishment of Hogwarts over the past thousand years, this kind of Vile Wizard has become less and less, and the strength is even more uneven, and Lockhart is orthodox of Ravenclaw graduates, with excellent academic performance, Professor McGonagall believes in this Hogwarts graduate (Note 1).

In any case, Lockhart is a better senior professor than William.

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

"Although I would love to teach those senior students, I have some good friendships with those who are responsible for the test questions, and in order to avoid anyone taking advantage of this to stigmatize those students, I I think I'd better not get involved with the students who are about to take the exam."

William was stunned - what Divine Immortal excuse is that?

Three blacks in one go?
slandering the invigilators for cheating for personal gain, thinking that the relationship between the school's professors and the examiner is not as good as his personal relationship, and that the school candidates will happily cheat?
Also, if this is true, why do you even teach Fifth Year students?
William watched as Professor McGonagall's face darkened, but the professor seemed to hold back.

"Well, in that case, Professor William, do you have any difficulty with being the—er, wizard self-defense magic study professor for seniors?"

Yes, William Wanted to say that, but his excuse was obviously less powerful than Lockhart's.

He didn't mind being a senior professor anyway, so he just didn't turn it down.

"Okay, then I'll be in charge of the Sixth Year students, although this is a bit unexpected at first, but there's still a month left, and it's almost enough to prepare for class."

"It's too tiring to be a professor for five years at a time, and the Fifth Year is also facing OWLs. I hope Professor William, you can take responsibility with the students of the Fifth Year."

Professor McGonagall Quickly writing on the form of the two, William noticed that Lockhart's expression was a bit unpleasant, but Lockhart did not have any objection to the decision.

“Then, I will inform the students to purchase the textbooks for the two of them by themselves. The schedule of the two of them and the arrangement of the common room will be delivered by owl in the next week.”

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

William and Lockhart got up together to say goodbye, but just after William had said his goodbyes, Professor McGonagall suddenly added.

"Professor William, please wait a moment, I suddenly remembered that the matter of Sixth Year students' electives has not been discussed, which needs to be divided according to the scores of OWLs."

In fact, this Not too complicated.

After Fifth Year students pass the OWLs exam, the course of the Sixth Year is an elective course, and students who are interested in continuing their studies or who have future career requirements will continue to study - but the number of study places is required. Divide according to previous exams.

But I don't know if Professor McGonagall meant it or not, William saw Lockhart's selection of textbooks.

Gadding with Ghouls by Gilderoy Lockhart, Holidays with Hags by Gilderoy Lockhart... Year with the Yeti by Gilderoy Lockhart

A long list of books by Lockhart

Is this professor really coming to class? Are you sure you don't sell books?

Considering that six Seventh Year students are screened by two exams and professors, William has reason to suspect that these two grades were dropped by Lockhart purely because of their small population.

"Students with grades E (that is, good, second grade) can also take electives, maybe they have some failures in the exam, if they need a higher level 1 certificate for their future career planning, that's fine too There is a chance to work hard.”

William took a serious look at the transcript, and generously released a batch of registration qualifications—normally, only the highest level O is available.

"Okay, I'll let those students know, the enrollment numbers will be sent to you at the start of the semester, and the timetables and classroom arrangements will be sent out at the same time."

Speaking of this to William , Professor McGonagall lifted the head and found Hagrid, who had been staying at the door of the office.

"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 separated house, Excellent grades, asked the headmaster to start the school newspaper, engraved his capital name on the Quiddich stadium, projected his head into the sky at Hogwarts, and the greatest action was to send himself 800 Valentine's Day cards (Studying at Hogwarts) when).

Joined Hogwarts Ravenclaw in 1975, when Dumbledore was appointed headmaster and Professor McGonagall was professor of transfiguration, but it was not certain whether it was taught by Professor McGonagall.
