From Azkaban To Hogwarts

"Ha, how do you feel about Professor William's first class?"

In the teachers' lounge, William had just opened the door, and two people, Herbology Professor Adams and Alchemy Professor Singed, surrounded him and asked about their thoughts on the first class that had just begun.

It was only the first day of school, and neither of them had classes. When William came here after class, the two of them were playing wizard chess.

Although each professor has his or her own office, most professors spend their extra time here unless they have their own affairs to deal with - it is too boring to be alone in the office.

A minute ago, when William pushed open the door of the lounge, Professor Singed stood up in surprise when he saw that he was about to lose. Then he accidentally brought down half of the chessboard, and the chessmen were shouting enthusiastically. He said the first sentence with great enthusiasm.

Unwilling to accept it, Professor Adams followed and surrounded him.

"Okay, buddy, it's just a game of chess. It's more important to care about your new colleagues now, don't you think so?"

"Okay, forget it this time, but if I remember correctly, Professor Lockhart seems to be in the first class today too?"

Lockhart? That new professor?

William, who was slightly relaxed because the first class was completed happily, became a little nervous - he had already begun to understand the legend of the talkative Professor Lockhart in the past two days.

Although the professor showed off his smile and achievements all the time like a man with dentures, the descriptions of those achievements were quite exciting.

William swore on his two lifetimes of experience that it was absolutely impossible to write those vivid adventure contents by simply making up stories. He briefly read the contents of a book and found that all the details in the story were extremely reasonable and not at all made up in novels. kind of level.

The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which is regarded as a legendary novel, can be written to make people feel immersed in it because Luo Guanzhong really served as a counselor. A lot of the content here seems a bit unrealistic - the adventure story can be written so realistically. In fact, if anyone said it was made up, William would be the first to jump out and blow the opponent's head off.

Some people are interested in fame, while others are seeking profit, which are all normal. William has seen people who do charity work and want to be publicized all over the world, but they do spend real money on it.

Therefore, William had no doubt that the new professor was really capable - being pushy and powerful were two different things.

…

The faculty lounge is a long space filled with old, mismatched chairs.

Compared with the professor's private office, the furnishings here are much more casual, and there are not even a few tables prepared. However, the entertainment facilities are very complete, including chess, card and board games.

Although it was late summer, there was a low fire in the fireplace to remove the moisture, but there was no one around the fire. William was led by the other two professors back to the table with the chessboard, and started to give Discuss the students’ feelings in class.

It was obvious that Professor Adams paid great attention to Professor Lockhart. When the three of them chatted about the students' little actions in class, Professor Adams would mention Professor Lockhart almost every few sentences.

But strangely, almost half an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and Professor Lockhart still did not appear in the office.

Most of the professors who had taught the first class in the afternoon but had no new courses came to the lounge one after another. Whenever a professor opened the door, Adams would always raise his head and look towards the door.

At this time, Professor Singed suddenly asked in a narrow tone:

"Adams, you admire Professor Lockhart?"

Am I still here? You two have a good relationship and can talk in private - your relationship hasn't reached this level yet, right?

Not only Adams, but also William was frightened by this question.

But to his surprise, Professor Adams actually admitted it honestly.

"I can't say I admire them, I just feel a little envious of the professor sometimes. Although I really like the herbal medicine class, and I am willing to take care of them in the greenhouse day after day, and I would rather cultivate the students like taking care of the herbs, but I still feel very Envy that Professor Lockhart."

Adams said seriously:

"You see, he can easily go on adventures in dangerous places, deal with monsters, see herbs in different places, and see all kinds of scenery - I have been coming to Hogwarts for three years, and although I still love it here, I always imagined that I could go on adventures like that and see potions all over the world.”

This is really Professor Lockhart as an idol - William was a little surprised, but soon relieved.

Judging from the information he knows so far, Professor Lockhart has become famous throughout the wizarding world through his books. Returning to Hogwarts to teach can be considered a famous alumnus with the title of professor - that is, putting The word honor is gone.

His main job is to take risks, and his side job is to write books. His grades alone are more than enough to be a professor, but now it is just a side job plus a professor, and it is understandable that he is regarded as an idol.

But obviously Professor Singed next to him didn’t think so: “That’s not right, you are so capable, you can even handle problems in the greenhouse by yourself. The holidays at Hogwarts are not short, and the summer vacation is enough for you to take risks. !”

Blind student, you discovered Hua Dian!

But Adams's face suddenly turned red, and he looked around before staring fiercely at Professor Singed - to be honest, his burly figure that was different from ordinary wizards created by working in the greenhouse looked very impressive at the moment. Feeling of oppression.

"Keep your voice down, it's not like you don't remember that my Defense Against the Dark Arts in fifth grade was an A (pass), and I didn't even have a N.E.W.Ts certificate!"

He spoke to the two of them in a low voice, not shying away from William's presence.

Defense Against the Dark Arts…A…

William understood instantly - it turns out that you look like a tall man, but your fighting power may only be at the level of a few geese?

In other words, except for him, the professor who was pulled over, the other professors probably also had amazing achievements in their own major subjects, and it was hard to say about the other classes.

There is no problem with this. Even in a first-class high school, the teachers who take the college entrance examination are at the middle level at most - unless they go back to the year they took the college entrance examination. In a place like Hogwarts, where certificates are calculated separately, the overall score is Worse.

But Singed suddenly laughed out loud. Although the sound was very low and was quickly retracted, Professor Adams, who was extremely concerned, still discovered it.

"Asshole, what are you laughing at?"

"Nothing, I remembered something funny."

Originally, William forced himself to hold back his smile, but at this moment he couldn't hold it back any longer.

"Professor William, why are you laughing again?"

"I……"

William forced down the back half, and just at this moment the door opened.

"I saw Professor Lockhart come in!"

ps: The bad news is that after scrapping two chapters of the manuscript, this is the remaining finished product... The good news is that next week will not be very busy...
