From Azkaban To Hogwarts

"Why does he look a little embarrassed?"

Embarrassed?

William couldn't help but take another look at Lockhart who came in through the door - his robe was still the same extremely bright emerald green robe, as neat as if he had just taken care of it, and his hair style was not messy at all, it felt like he had just been Even after applying hair wax, the smile on the corner of the mouth is still the one that shows the most teeth. How can you talk about the embarrassment?

"You are wrong, Professor Xingjid, why is this in such a mess? It looks like it has just been taken care of and it is completely ready for a dinner party."

Did you just take care of it?

William thought about the thoughts that crossed his mind and found that this matter was very possible - but it was not a big deal, it was just a slight mysophobia. Not to mention the relationship between colleagues, even friends had no position to say weird things.

"That's right, if you ask me, your alchemy class has too few courses. It should be included in the elective courses for third grade students like other subjects."

"Huh?" The alchemy professor who was accused by Adams narrowed his eyes and showed a mean smile.

"Well, it seems like I should really do something serious. I probably won't be able to complete the special fertilizer this month. You can't always use dragon dung as an ingredient in alchemy experiments, right?"

"Don't do this, Professor Sprout will kill me, especially this month, the school's whomping willow is injured, and there is probably a big gap in the fertilizer."

"Whomping Willow?"

William heard the name and was about to ask a question when he suddenly heard an enthusiastic voice.

"Ha, William, how do you feel about the first class?"

Lockhart walked toward the three of them with a cheerful expression. If he hadn't known that the professor had just finished class like himself, William would have thought that he had returned from a victorious battle or had made some important discovery.

"It's not bad. The students are quite obedient and the classroom order is pretty good. I just got a little nervous at first, but it got better soon."

"That's good. It looks like you're doing pretty well. How's the atmosphere in the class? Is it cheerful enough?"

Lockhart smiled his classic smile.

Joy?

William thought about it carefully, and he was quite happy, but he probably wasn't very happy with the students who were writing their thesis.

But before William could answer, Lockhart began to answer on his own.

"Of course, of course, I'm not targeting you, Professor William. It's just that in my many years of adventure travel, I have become very familiar with Defense Against the Dark Arts - well, the name of the new course is too confusing. Let's call it that, Defense Against the Dark Arts." He has some unique insights and has experienced more interesting things."

"This is not to show off, Professor William, I am often tired of fame, but I hope people pay more attention to my strength and my adventures. The students are very interested in my adventures, which is okay, I am just here You just have some strengths, I believe you will be an excellent professor."

…

The long list of non-stop words almost made William dizzy. It took him a long time to understand what the enthusiastic professor meant - he was probably here to teach him how to teach.

'I'm definitely not good at magic for self-defense. He is a famous adventurer. I have only learned magic by myself for a short period of time. I haven't mastered the silent spells well, so I have to make up for it with partial knowledge. ’

Considering this, even though William didn't agree with Lockhart's method of teaching, he still listened patiently to him for a long time.

‘It’s strange, why is it just a theory and no reality? Is this a hidden secret? ’

While William was making compliments with a wink, he tried to absorb something useful, but he didn't find anything useful for a long time - some of the knowledge was even a version that had not been well summarized many years ago.

This made the conversation less and less interesting, but the other two professors who were observing also became interested and gave many useful tips on controlling the lecture length and attracting students' attention - mainly what Adams said , the alchemy professor occasionally interjected a few words to show that he was still participating in the discussion.

"Then so be it, Professor William."

After a long conversation, Lockhart finally ended his insignificant lecture and left the staff lounge with a wave of his hand.

He even didn't forget to show his unusually standard smile when he waved goodbye.

Almost as soon as he left, Professor Singed took out a mirror from the small drawer and took a serious look at his slightly overcompetitive hairline.

"It's okay, it's okay. I swear, not even Professor McGonagall has been so preachy since I graduated from Hogwarts."

"Maybe, maybe this professor is very powerful, but not very good at teaching people?"

Adams carefully defended Lockhart in the end, but even he still did not deny that Professor Lockhart's ability to educate students may not be very good.

"After all, you can revise the words in the manuscript, but you don't have that much time to prepare for reality."

William was also a little unsure - from a professional perspective, there was nothing wrong with the story in the book, but judging from the half-day exchange, it seemed that Professor Lockhart didn't even have a clear idea of ​​what to do in class.

Did he regard teaching as writing about his own adventures?

After all, adventurers and professors are two completely unrelated professions. Not everyone is a Mr. Pei, who can give complete and professional explanations while taking risks.

Not to mention that this is not about explaining adventure, but teaching a systematic course.

But no matter what, William wasn't going to listen to a word of Professor Lockhart's useless suggestions just now - he even suspected that the professor's lectures were dry and the students just came with his arms in his arms. mentality to listen to the lecture.

But this guess was too insulting for a formal professor, so William simply did not share his opinion.

But when it was time to retire for the night, William soon discovered that this view was not exclusive to him.

I don’t know if Professor Lockhart offended any professor by telling everyone about his adventures for a long time, or if he tried to show that he was a wizard in every aspect, which made someone uncomfortable. During dinner, the whole Huo All the teachers and students of Gwarts, including Ghost, knew what happened this afternoon.

While teaching second-year students, Professor Lockhart brought a cage of aggressive elves to the classroom - and over the next hour and a half, the second-year students were met with disaster.

It is said that it took the house elves a full half hour to restore the classroom to its original appearance afterwards - you know, it would not take any of them half an hour to clean a messy room.

“This is the first class—three students have entered the school hospital!”

"It seems that Professor Lockhart doesn't know the difference between school and the jungle where he ventures."

…

Among the various remarks, almost all professors have the same consensus - Professor Lockhart may be a great adventurer, but he is definitely a crappy professor!

ps: My eyelids are fighting, I will release the second chapter at noon tomorrow (it should be finished, right?).
