Late at night, the storm became more and more unbridled.

The lights in the headmaster's office at Hogwarts were still on, and Dumbledore was sitting at his desk, reading the latest issue of Transfiguration Today by candlelight.

Beside the desk, a copy of the Daily Prophet was casually spread out, and the contents of the newspaper could be clearly read by candlelight:

Arthur Weasley, Director of the Misuse of Muggle Articles Division at the Ministry of Magic, has been fined fifty Galleons for enchanting a Muggle car.

...

The enchanted car crashed at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and one of the school's directors, Mr Lucius Malfoy, recently called for Mr Weasley's immediate resignation.

"Mr. Weasley has ruined the reputation of the Ministry of Magic," Malfoy told MY.

...

Mr. Weasley didn't reply to my reporter, but his wife told the reporter to leave, or she'd let her ghouls out to bite them.

...

There is no doubt that Arthur Weasley was in trouble, he was targeted by a group of people.

Of course, some of Arthur's actions have a lot to do with the pure-blood wizards headed by Malfoy.

To be honest, the Office for the Prohibition of Misuse of Muggle Objects is not highly regarded at the Ministry of Magic, and Arthur's ability to get a search warrant is suspicious in itself.

Knowing that pure-blood wizards occupy important positions at the Ministry of Magic, they cannot allow the officials of the Ministry of Magic to harass them casually.

The search warrant was obviously done on purpose and pushed in the back.

At present, Arthur's situation is very bad. Although for some reason, he has not been expelled from the Ministry of Magic for the time being, but the suspension review is still going on.

Many wizards who did not deal with Arthur hoped that Arthur Weasley would be expelled from the Ministry of Magic to prevent the passage of the "Muggle Protection Act" drafted by him. Many pure-blood wizards felt that they were offended by this law. .

Just now, Dumbledore wrote a letter to Fudge, on the grounds that he agreed to temporarily delay the passage of the Muggle Protection Act, persuaded the other party to let Arthur remain in the Ministry of Magic as the Director of the Office for the Prohibition of Misuse of Muggle Objects.

In fact, Fudge is also having a headache about it.

No wizard was willing to take over the Office for Prohibiting Muggle Items. The salary was mediocre, the treatment was not high, and it was very busy. It also required frequent dealings with Muggles. The most important thing was that there were only two wizards in this position.

Probably only a weirdo like Arthur would like this kind of work.

What made Dumbledore worse was something else.

This morning, Dumbledore received a note from Anderson about an event of great concern to Dumbledore.

Harry Potter can hear sounds that ordinary people cannot.

This does not bode well in the wizarding world.

And, at the end of the note, it said: Something bad could happen.

Bad things? Soso Novel

Dumbledore couldn't tell whether these words were true or not, but they were definitely not a good thing.

"Heard something that others can't hear, something bad happened?" When Dumbledore tried to connect the two things, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the room.

Dumbledore put down the magazine, stood up suspiciously, walked over to open the door, and found that it was Professor McGonagall.

Professor McGonagall put a document on her desk.

"What else?" Dumbledore saw that Professor McGonagall seemed to have something to say.

"I don't know if you have paid attention to Professor Lockhart." Professor McGonagall said with a hint of dissatisfaction. "He messed up the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, and many students came to us to complain about it."

In the past, after Lockhart's book became famous, Hogwarts professors felt that they might have misread him and thought he was contributing to the fight against the dark arts.

As a result, Lockhart has only been at Hogwarts for a month, and his nature has been exposed, and everyone has seen his true colors clearly.

Lockhart is still the same Lockhart who went to Hogwarts more than ten years ago. He has not changed at all. They have never missed him at all.

"I know it's hard to find Defence Against the Dark Arts professors, but what Professor Lockhart has done is really unacceptable." Professor McGonagall reminded, "In almost all classes, he is reading the content of the books to the students. , let the students take the stage to perform the scene at that time, I really can't imagine what the students can learn from this vain person who is trying to make a name for himself."

"You can learn a lot from a bad teacher," Dumbledore said calmly. "Don't do anything, don't be a person."

Professor McGonagall was silent, she felt that what Professor Dumbledore said did make sense, but it had to be exchanged for a semester of students' Defense Against the Dark Arts class, and the price was a bit high.

"I don't think you want someone like Lockhart to appear in your students." Dumbledore smiled, "Also, I really couldn't find a more suitable candidate for a while. Minerva , you should also know that since Quirrell died, no one has wanted to come to Hogwarts as a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, and its reputation is too bad."

"Okay, I'll tell everyone what you mean." Professor McGonagall sighed and left the headmaster's office. He actually knew that Dumbledore could always find a way to convince himself.

Watching Professor McGonagall leave, Dumbledore fell into a brief silence. No Defence Against the Dark Arts professor has taught for more than a year since he rejected Voldemort.

Many say the class is cursed.

Actually, this statement is not wrong. Once or twice can be an accident...but fifty times can't be an accident.

As for what Lockhart did, Dumbledore actually knew it for a long time. After reading some familiar content from Lockhart's books, he deliberately took the time to visit his former friends and noticed the other party's After being forgetful and confused, he realized that this was the after-effect of being cast on a powerful forgetting spell.

Lockhart is stealing other people's work.

Dumbledore didn't bother to debunk the hoax of the internationally renowned author, and even if he did debunk Lockhart in the end, it wouldn't make much sense.

People who have been placed under a powerful Oblivion Charm often have a hard time returning to normal, and breaking the Oblivion Charm will only make things worse.

Of course, Dumbledore didn't intend to let Lockhart go like this, he had long thought of a way to expose the other party's deception.

Yes, just put Lockhart into a normal school life and his deception will gradually be exposed.

When Lockhart was in school at Hogwarts, Dumbledore was already the headmaster of the school, and he really knew this student who was hated by the professors and students all too well.

Therefore, Dumbledore tried his best to invite Lockhart to be a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts. It happened that it was difficult to find a professor for this course every year, and Dumbledore believed that the curse of Defense Against the Dark Arts could also make Lockhart suffer a bit. .

Facts have proved that this trick is indeed very effective, and everyone has gradually seen what kind of person Lockhart is.
