I added points to my talents at Hogwarts

Chapter 131: You’re here and you still want to leave?

“Professor, don’t worry.”Avis comforted him kindly,”According to statistics from the seniors, in the past ten years, in addition to seven Defense Against the Dark Arts professors who died while teaching, three more were imprisoned in Azkaban and died. The rate is still quite low.”

The smile on Lockhart’s mouth stopped. Is this a low mortality rate?

“What’s more, they all deserved to die!”Ives became more and more excited as he spoke,” After investigation, Professor Dumbledore found that they were either evil dark wizards or big liars who told lies without any real material at all. He paused and looked at Lockhart with admiration,”Of course, this year will definitely be an exception. Professor, how could you be stumped by a small curse.””

The corners of Lockhart’s eyes twitched twice. Although he is not a dark wizard, he is indeed a liar without real materials.

He is very angry now. Dumbledore did not tell him when he wrote to invite him to come. This position is cursed. If he had known earlier, he would never have taken the job so easily

“Sorry, I suddenly remembered that I still have some urgent matters to deal with, and our meeting may have to be postponed for a few days.” Lockhart still looked calm on the surface, but inside he was very anxious. He had to find Dumbledore quickly and have a good chat with him about the curse on the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. Look at him As she left, Hermione, who was eating melon next to her, finally couldn’t help but said:”He didn’t come to Hogwarts to be a professor without knowing anything, right?”

To be honest, although she has long recognized that Lockhart is essentially a liar, she still can’t help but feel a faint admiration for him.

This is the real warrior!

Ives shrugged,”I I hope he can resign and find someone else to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts, even Snape.”

“The bird is real.”Hermione agreed.

Although Snape has a bit of a bad mouth, a bit of oily hair, and has recently been suspected of menopause, and his temper has become increasingly grumpy, but he has the real stuff.

Compared to looking at him for a whole year Sitcom, Ives hopes to learn something useful

……

In the principal’s office,

Dumbledore kept holding the quill in his hand and looked up in surprise at Lockhart who rushed into his office angrily,”What’s the matter, Professor Lockhart?”

“Professor Dumbledore, what happened to the curse?” Lockhart unceremoniously pulled out the chair and sat in, and asked loudly:”When you invited me, you never mentioned”

“That’s just an exaggerated rumor from students,” Dumbledore replied lightly.

“Before coming here, I went out of my way to check relevant reports in recent years.” Lockhart looked distrustful.”It’s the same as Ives said. In the past ten years, not a single Defense Against the Dark Arts professor has left completely. Hogwarts.”

Dumbledore stopped what he was doing. He had a headache.

Ives, why did you tell Lockhart these things? Don’t you know how disgusting it is to”trap” others to work at Hogwarts? Is it an easy thing? The old headmaster rarely complained about someone in his heart.

Dumbledore put down his pen, waved his hand, and a book flew over from the bookshelf.

“Gilderoy,” Dumbledore said warmly, and Lockhart, who was still angry, looked up at him.

He opened a page of the book, pointed to the content on it and said,”I remember it very well. Clearly, you mentioned in your autobiography”Traveling with a Vampire” that no one in the entire magical

world knows how to lift a curse better than you.”

Only then did Lockhart see clearly that the book Dumbledore was holding was one of his autobiographies:”Traveling with Vampires”.

And on the opened page, there was a dynamic portrait. The portrait It was none other than Gilderoy Lockhart himself.

He was showing his white teeth and a confident smile, with a line of large, shining golden letters underneath – No one knows how to curse better than me!

“You also wrote in the book that you lifted the curse on the vampire who traveled with you and turned him back into a normal human being,” Dumbledore continued,”This prompted me to make up my mind to invite you to serve.

He said sincerely:”I think it’s just a rumored curse, and it must not be difficult for you, so I didn’t mention it in the invitation letter.”

Lockhart laughed awkwardly twice and quickly said,”Yes, this is not a difficult problem for me.””

“”Of course,” Dumbledore changed the topic,”If you really want to resign, of course you can, but……”

Lockhart’s face was filled with joy. It would be best if he could resign. He was here to make money, not to die. He pretended to be calm and said with a smile:”Professor, what is it?”

“But we may have to resolve the issue of compensation.”Dumbledore waved his fingers in the air, and a few lines of words appeared between the two.

“You will remember that our contract clearly states that you will be the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts for one year. Now that I have to resign after working for less than a week, I will have to pay liquidated damages.”

The font in the air was revealed, liquidated damages, one thousand gold galleons.

Lockhart curled his lips, he didn’t care about this little money,”I’ll just give it.”

He just wants to leave this devil’s cave quickly, find a safe place, and continue his great career of writing books and making money.

“Also… there is a supplementary clause in the contract, I think you should have paid attention to it”

“When… of course.”Lockhart’s tone was erratic. Of course he didn’t have the patience to read the contract carefully. Being dazzled by the names of the teacher of the savior and the youngest teacher of the Order of Merlin, he signed his name with a wave of his hand.

“If you have not served for a full year, you require students to return all the books they purchased at their original price. Dumbledore’s eyes were calm,”After all, you asked them to buy these books and use them as teaching materials. If you are no longer a professor at Hogwarts, then these books will not be that useful to the students.””

Lockhart swallowed. He knew how expensive his books were. The three books together cost twenty galleons, and there were hundreds of people in Hogwarts. Refunding them all would cost nearly twenty thousand gold galleons.

Sure enough, Dumbledore continued to write in the air:

Refund of textbooks, seventeen thousand galleons. Total compensation, eighteen thousand galleons.

Lockhart finally gave up the idea of resigning, and all the income from his novels must be equal to The publisher will share the money equally, but the publisher will never help him with these refunds. Besides, it is still unknown whether the curse really exists. He thinks he can still resist. He smiled and said:”I will Just say it casually, Professor, you don’t need to take it to heart. If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first.”

Looking at his hurried away figure, Dumbledore’s lips curled up slightly. He’s here and still wants to leave?
