Hermione, be the Minister of Magic with me! Author: Ten-cut madman

Before the Battle of Hogwarts, Lockhart opened the title page of his diary and reviewed his wish list:

Gilderoy Lockhart's Life Wish Update (01.09.1992):

1. I'm going to be the Minister of Magic! 2. Married Hermione! 3. Then make Hermione Minister of Magic!

After watching, Lockhart raised his wand. "Sorry, little Tom, you got in my way, go to hell!",

Lockhart began to ask himself - what kind of work should he do in order to survive?

…

It seems that it is not difficult to guess, the answer is already obvious, isn't it?

I should be the Minister of Magic!

Chapter 1 A Journey of Power from Hogwarts

Albus Dumbledore sat at his desk in the corner of his claw table, staring at the roster in front of him, his whole body motionless, as if he was lost in thought.

Neither the rhythmic snoring of the surrounding magical portraits nor the occasional whimper of Phoenix Fox on the shelf behind the door as he buried his head in his wings, could not awaken Dumbledore from this peculiar serenity, who seemed to have come to terms with This environment blends into one.

This tranquility lasted until the gargoyle at the door made a sound, and it was finally broken.

"Principal, Gilderoy Lockhart is visiting and is waiting at your door." A loud voice sounded.

Dumbledore moved slightly, as if he had been awakened by the sound.

"Please come in," said Dumbledore.

As the handle of the Gryphon body was lifted to both sides, the wooden door of the principal's office slowly opened to both sides, and the person at the door stood in place until the wooden door was fully opened before walking in with their heads held high.

The visitor was well-dressed and well-dressed, whether it was the slim-fitting trousers or the well-pressed long-sleeved shirt, which made the visitor look quite different from the usual Maidan image among wizards. The velvet wizard's robes covered on the outside are also bright, and it complements the waxed golden curly hair, giving the visitor a smooth and shiny feeling.

If combined with the person's graceful demeanor and charming smile, then from the 8-year-old girl to the 60-year-old old woman, they will definitely be attracted by it.

"Good day, principal! It's been a long time, I miss you so much."

Gilderoy Lockhart walked all the way to a place only a few steps away from Dumbledore, then bent down and gave Dumbledore a deep salute.

Dumbledore stood up and slowly stretched out his right hand, as if intending to shake hands with the person who came.

Lockhart hurried forward two steps, took off his white gloves, stuffed them into his pockets, and held Dumbledore's right hand with both hands.

Dumbledore frowned, not knowing whether he didn't care about the etiquette, or whether he smelled the faint smell of cologne on Lockhart.

"Long time no see, Lockhart, I heard you've been at Loch Ness for the last few months.

■

Gilderoy grinned and showed his big shining white teeth: "You don't have to be so born, you can call me Gilderoy, and of course you can call me "Jill", if you want. "

Dumbledore tapped his right hand imperceptibly: "Your honor, Gilderoy, please take a seat... I personally also think that some unnecessary etiquette can be saved from now on."

Lockhart was no longer polite, but sat obediently in the position pointed out by Dumbledore.

"I've really been around Loch Ness lately, partly because Loch Ness is also in Scotland, so I can get closer to Hogwarts, and partly to help my old classmates keep things in order. You know, The summer vacation is here, and there are many Muggles who come to Loch Ness to find the water monster. We have to spend a lot of time every day casting the Oblivion Charm.

Dike, I know this. Dumbledore interrupted him. "Excellent oblivion spell, no side effects, and all the Muggles think they've had a great lake picnic. Peacegood thinks highly of you." "

"It's a delight." Lockhart smiled wider.

"You just said 'closer to Hogwarts', does that mean you've decided to accept the Hogwarts offer? ' asked Dumbledore again.

"Of course!" Lockhart opened his arms exaggeratedly, "Do you actually suspect that someone would refuse? To refuse the employment of Hogwarts, the world's No. 1 wizarding school? This is the dream of many students when they were young."

"I'm glad you still have such a high opinion of your alma mater ten years after graduation, Gilderoy, but I must remind you again that this position is a professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts. ' Dumbledore reminded.

Gilderoy Lockhart's smile subsided a little: "Well, of course I know.

"And you've also heard what happened to Professor Quirrell last year, and the curse that the legendary man cast on this class."

Lockhart folded his hands: "Of course! Poor Professor Quirrell, that's a misfortune! And the Curse of You-Know-Who is a real problem, as far as I know, no one has been able to hold this position in recent years. Lasted for more than a year.”

As Lockhart said, Voldemort came to Hogwarts in 1954 when he was rejected for a job, and he cursed the position in the same year, and the year of the Ridge was 1992.

This curse has been dormant like a poisonous snake since it was cast. It has been quietly accumulating energy for many years, and it has only taken effect in the last few years.

If it were to take effect immediately, that would mean that Hogwarts had consumed 38 teachers for the Defence Against the Dark Arts position - but that's impossible.

According to many, this curse could have been saved if it had been discovered earlier. But by the time it really started, even Dumbledore, the top anti-dark magician, could say, "Maybe we could have done something, but it's too late.

After all, being a Defence Against the Dark Arts professor is a very dangerous job, even a little more dangerous than being the president of South Korea, and Lockhart knows that.

Dumbledore's eyes became playful.

"In that case, I'm very curious, Gilderoy. Of course, it may also be that I am confused and my memory is biased. In my impression of your student days, you are not a very... er, I mean to say , since the Sorting Hat assigned you to Ravenclaw, not Gryffindor..."

"There's more cleverness than courage, so it doesn't look like someone who would take the job." Lockhart added after stammering his words.

Dumbledore was relieved to see Lockhart clarifying his own words: Of course, I hope it didn't hurt you. "

"No, Headmaster," said Lockhart as usual.

"And when I was chatting with Mr. Ollivander recently, he told me a very interesting piece of news - your original wand didn't fit yours very well, so I went to him to replace a wand, which is the case Very rare." Dumbledore continued to test.

After hearing this sentence, Lockhart showed an expression other than a smile for the first time since entering the principal's office.

Generally speaking, Ollivander's wand shop will take into account the wizard's character, values, intelligence, etc. when matching wands for wizards, so as to better match the wizard's soul.

Different wand cores and woods will complement the type of magic, magic power and character that the wizard is good at, and Ollivander called it "the wand will choose the wizard", and a wizard's wand usually accompanies his life, even with the wizard. Buried together.

Unless there is a particularly major accident that stimulates the wizard's soul, the wizard's character or values ​​have changed.

"It's been more than 10 years since I graduated, principal." Lockhart said with consideration, "I have traveled all over the world for more than 10 years and encountered many interesting and dangerous things. This has improved my life experience and personality. It's helpful...I wonder if you've read my book? Like the one called Ghoul?"

"Of course, that's one of the reasons why I decided to hire you," said Dumbledore gently.

"So, you can't expect me to be the same character I was when I was in school after so many things, doesn't that mean I haven't grown at all?" Lockhart added.

Dumbledore stared at Lockhart, and Lockhart sat there, silently looking at Dumbledore.

In the end, Dumbledore took the lead to look away: "...So that's the case, please forgive an old man's curiosity about new things."

"There's no blame at all, Principal, and considering the accidents that have happened in the past few years, it's a good idea to investigate the origins of the new professor," Lockhart said.

When he said this, Lockhart breathed a sigh of relief - it seemed that this matter was finally hidden.

Because he is not Gilderoy Lockhart at all, or in other words, not the original Lockhart himself, just a small civil servant of the Great Empire who lived in the 0th century and watched the "Harry Potter" series, and He also died suddenly because of 996.

The original Gilderoy Lockhart had some deviations in this time and space. He tried to use the oblivion spell to sneak up on a wizard who had let go of his vigilance and steal the opponent's record for himself. Part of the power of the spell caused confusion in his soul, and he was occupied by the dove.

"Well, it doesn't look like there's any problem. If I have time later, I'd love to chat with you about what happened during your trip."

As Dumbledore spoke, he took out an appointment letter.

"If you're ready, sign this offer. Once you sign it, you're officially a teacher at Hogwarts, with the ability to occupy a separate office, plus points and deductions for students. The power to divide...I hope you don't abuse it."

Lockhart took the appointment letter and began to read the terms above with interest.

He has always been curious about the salary of Hogwarts staff. As the newly hired Potions teacher, Slughorn has not reached the wrong salary of 100 Galleons/pint even after bargaining with Dumbledore. The eight-eyed spider venom occurs to the point of interest.

But at the same time, Professor McGonagall, who teaches Transfiguration, bought Harry a Nimbus 2000 without blinking an eyelid, which shows that even among professors, there are differences in salary levels. However, considering the abundance of expensive medicines in Snape's private collection, it is also possible that the Dean's salary is particularly rich.

Of course, Lockhart was just curious, because the original owner of the body had made a lot of money by selling books, and he was wealthy, and his monthly salary requirements were not very high.

However, when he glanced at his salary column, Lockhart couldn't help whistling J even though he immediately realized that he was a little rude.

"You are really willing." He made an apologetic gesture.

"It looks like you're satisfied, that's fine. After all, it's a Defence Against the Dark Arts class, and I have to consider some... additional expenses, you know." Dumbledore said nothing.

"It turns out that this salary also includes personal accident insurance and early severance pay, so this number is normal." Lockhart nodded knowingly.

Dumbledore seemed a little confused: "A person... what?"

"It's nothing, I'm ready to work. I wonder if you plan to take a look at my lesson preparation first, or test my magic level?" Lockhart looked confident and quickly signed his appointment letter. name.

"No, I don't usually interfere with the professors' work. All you need to do is make a list of textbooks that the students will buy this year, and choose your office location. Also... There is one more task to hand over here. you."

"What mission?" Lockhart asked.

Dumbledore stood up and handed Lockhart a piece of paper.

"We at Hogwarts admit a lot of new students with magical gifts every year, some of them from wizarding families or mixed-race families - these people usually don't have to be bothered by us.

But alas, non-magic people are usually skeptical of Hogwarts, and convincing the parents of these little wizards to agree that enrolling their children is a very hard job.

Last year we had a wizard from a non-wizard family named Justin O. Findlay, who was going to go to Eton and his family thought so but then his mother read your book , the perception of Hogwarts seems to have changed. "

"So?" Lockhart opened the envelope.

"So, I think you should be very talented in persuading. Here is a list and addresses of children born to non-wizard families this year, and I need you to convince their parents with your admission letter, of course, not with "Silent" or something to scare them. "

"No problem." Lockhart agreed immediately without pausing.

Dumbledore smiled for the first time since today: "Very well, it seems that you have entered the role."

"Of course, when I walked into this office, I started to call myself a teacher here." Lockhart returned Dumbledore's brighter smile.

That's the smile that won the Witcher Weekly "Most Charming Smile" award five times!

P.So new book is open!

During the holiday, everyone can go outside, play games, and play with girlfriends, so you can have fun without reading books, right?

So Shifen is very considerate to wait until the end of the holiday before opening a new book. Look how much I will worry about everyone! 0 (Wotong

Chapter 2 Lockhart's Rule I"

Walking out of the principal's office, Lockhart let out a long breath.

Although he was quite sure that the principal did not use Legilimency against him, the experience of others was here, and just by observing words and expressions, he could understand this young man thoroughly.

Fortunately, Dumbledore didn't suspect anything about him, and when he asked about the purpose of his application, Lockhart took it lightly, otherwise it would be hard to say something.

After discovering that he had traveled to the world of Harry Potter and became the famous "adventurer" Gilderoy Lockhart, Lockhart hesitated for a while.

Because the original owner of this body was a complete deceiver, the "glorious resume" he wrote in many of his famous works was plagiarizing other people's experiences, and he also used the Forgetting Curse to make the original owner forget that experience.

It has to be said that it is not easy to be able to permanently erase the memory of a specific period without side effects. Lockhart was selected by the Sorting Hat into Ravenclaw.

But other than this beautiful oblivion spell, Lockhart has nothing to praise in magic, except for the writing style and the handsome face to see, he can be said to be nothing.

Although with this face and the "wonderful experience" he copied, Lockhart has gained thousands of witch fans - and he is from Hermione to Mrs. Weasley's all ages - but no real talent The result of practical learning is that he has been exposed during the year he taught at Hogwarts.

If Lockhart knows how to hide himself, it's not that he can't rely on his impression halo.

Continue to deceive the world for a while. But his personality is really bad. When he has no real talent and learning, he still likes to highlight his "ability" by stepping on other people's feet. He hated ghosts, so that when he finally lost his memory and was admitted to the hospital, all the teachers and students in the school were cheering.

The current Lockhart has not gone through that step, and what he has inherited from the original owner is the handsome face, the undeserved reputation, the excellent oblivion spell, and the "huge" deposit earned by writing books.

After transmigration, Lockhart naturally also experienced a period of confusion, but he thought for a long time) before deciding to accept Dumbledore's invitation to come to Hogwarts to teach.

It's not that he didn't know that the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor position at Hogwarts was cursed, but he decided to take the risk.

Because he knew that if he continued to play tricks, he would be exposed sooner or later, so Lockhart decided to get out of the quagmire of making up his resume as soon as possible and do something practical to accumulate his life capital.

But when he sorted out his current abilities, he found that he didn't seem to be able to do much at the moment.

As a wizard, Lockhart's original master's spellcasting level is a disaster: except for the oblivion spell, his life spells and black and white magic have perfectly inherited the original master's level—that is, a complete mess.

In addition to the series of spells related to the oblivion spell, Lockhart found that no matter what he did now, he needed to do practical work, and that work would expose his magical abilities within three days, and finally had to be disheartened after the halo was shattered. Get the **** out of here.

Obviously, with this level of magic, it is impossible for Lockhart to live a normal life in the wizarding world. He needs to have a buffer period to "retrieve" his "lost" spells, and even after he retrieves them, he must Tolerating one's own level of magic for a long time may not be as good as the status quo of a seventh-year Hogwarts graduate.

Lockhart began to ask himself—what kind of job should he do in order to survive?

In other words, what kind of job is suitable for someone like him to do? Is it suitable for someone who is ignorant, someone who likes to talk things up, someone who has a thick skin, someone who doesn't pretend to be pushy every day, and someone who is useless except for a good image and a high reputation?

...It seems that it is not difficult to guess, the answer is already obvious, isn't it?

I should be the Minister of Magic!

Only politicians can make the most of their thick-skinned and dark-hearted qualities, and their lack of knowledge will not cause any hindrance to politics, or even a promotion in a sense.

As Mark Twain said, "The more ignorant a man is, the more famous he is) the more he gets paid."
