Hermione, join me as Minister of Magic!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 want 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 are in my way, go to hell!",

Lockhart began to ask himself - what kind of job should he have in order to survive?

……

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

I should fucking be the Minister of Magic!

Chapter 1 Journey to Power from Hogwarts

Albus Dumbledore sat at his claw-shaped desk, staring at the roster in front of him, completely motionless, as if lost in thought.

Neither the rhythmic snoring of the surrounding magic portraits, nor the low humming of the phoenix Fawkes on the shelf behind the door from time to time after burying its head in its wings, could not wake Dumbledore from this special tranquility. 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 waiting at your door." A loud voice sounded.

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

"Bring him in," said Dumbledore.

As the Gryphon's handle was raised to both sides, the wooden door of the principal's office slowly opened to both sides, while the person at the door stood still and walked in with his head held high until the wooden door was fully opened.

The visitor was well-dressed and well-groomed, whether it was slim trousers or a well-ironed long-sleeve shirt, they were quite different from the slovenly image commonly seen among wizards.And the velvet wizard robe covered on the outside is also radiant, and it complements the waxed golden curly hair, giving the visitor a smooth and shiny feeling as a whole.

If combined with the person's graceful demeanor and charming smile, a girl as young as 8 years old, and an old woman as high as 60, will be attracted by her involuntarily.

"Good day, Principal! Long time no see, I miss you very much."

Gilderoy Lockhart walked until he was 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 visitor.

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. He didn't know if he didn't like this kind of etiquette, or he could smell the faint cologne on Lockhart.

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

■

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

Dumbledore pulled out his right hand imperceptibly: "You are welcome, Gilderoy, please sit down... I personally also think that some unnecessary etiquette can be saved from now on."

Lockhart did not remain polite, but obediently took the seat Dumbledore pointed out.

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

Dyke's, I know this. Dumbledore interrupted him, "Excellent Oblivion Charm, no side effects, and all the Muggles think they enjoyed a very good picnic by the lake. Pisgood thinks highly of you." "

"It's delightful." Lockhart smiled wider.

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

"Of course!" Lockhart opened his arms exaggeratedly, "Do you actually doubt that someone will refuse? Rejecting the employment of Hogwarts, the number one magic school in the world? This is the dream of many people in their school days. "

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

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

"And you also heard what happened to Professor Quirrell last year, and the rumored curse that he cast on this class."

Lockhart crossed his hands: "Of course! Poor Professor Quirrell, what a misfortune! And the curse of the mysterious man is indeed a difficult problem. persisted for more than a year.”

As Lockhart said, it was 1954 when Voldemort came to Hogwarts to apply for a job and was rejected, and he also put a curse on the job in the same year, and 1992 was the year of Ling.

This curse has been dormant like a poisonous snake since it was cast, and it has been quietly accumulating energy for many years in the past, and it didn't take effect until the last few years

If it did work instantly, that would mean that the subject of Defense Against the Dark Arts had already consumed 38 teachers at Hogwarts - but that was unlikely.

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

In any case, teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts is a very dangerous job, even a little more dangerous than being the president of South Korea, and Lockhart knows it well.

Dumbledore's gaze became playful.

"In that case, I'm curious, Gilderoy. Of course, it may be because I'm old and confused, and my memory has gone wrong. In my impression of your student days, you are not such a... er, I mean , since the Sorting Hat put you in Ravenclaw, not Gryffindor..."

"Smartness far outweighs courage, so it's not like someone who would take the job." Lockhart added to his words.

Seeing Lockhart speak clearly, Dumbledore felt a lot more relaxed: Of course, I hope this didn't hurt you. "

"No, Headmaster." Lockhart said normally.

"And when I chatted with Mr. Ollivander recently, he told me a very interesting news-your original wand doesn't fit you very well, so I went to him to change a wand. The situation is 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, smartness, etc. when matching the wand for the wizard, so as to better match the wizard's soul.

Different wand cores and woods will complement each other with the type of magic, magic power and personality that the wizard is good at. Ollivander calls it "the wand will choose the wizard" and a wizard's wand will usually accompany him for a lifetime, even with the wizard. Buried in the ground together.

Unless there is some particularly serious accident that stimulates the wizard's soul, causing the wizard's character or values ​​to change.

"It's been more than 10 years since I graduated, Principal." Lockhart said after consideration, "I have traveled all over the world in the past ten years, and I have encountered many interesting and dangerous things. This has greatly improved my life experience and personality. It is very helpful to sharpen... I wonder if you have read my book? For example, "Walking with Ghouls"?"

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

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

Dumbledore stared at Lockhart, and Lockhart sat there, staring quietly at Dumbledore.

In the end, it was Dumbledore who took the lead to look away: "...I see, please forgive an old man for being curious about new things."

"I didn't blame it at all, the headmaster. Considering the accidents that happened in the past few years, it is necessary to check the background of the new professor." Lockhart said.

When he said this, Lockhart breathed a sigh of relief - it seemed that the matter had finally been concealed.

Because he is not Gilderoy Lockhart at all, or in other words, not the original Lockhart himself, but 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. When he tried to use the Oblivion Curse to sneak attack a wizard who put down his vigilance and steal the opponent's record for himself, he was bounced back by the amulet on the opponent's body. Lost part of the power of the spell, causing his soul to go into confusion, and this was the reason why the dove took over the magpie's nest.

"Well, it doesn't look like there is any problem. If I have time in the future, I would be happy to talk to you about what happened during your trip."

As Dumbledore spoke, he took out a letter of appointment.

"If you are ready, then sign this letter of employment. After signing, you will officially become a teacher at Hogwarts, and you will have a separate office, as well as points and deductions for students." Divided power...I hope you don't abuse it."

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

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

But at the same time, Professor McGonagall, who taught Transfiguration, bought Harry a Nimbus 2000 without batting an eyelid. This shows that even among professors, there are differences in salary levels.However, considering the richness of expensive medicines in Snape's private collection, it may also be due to the fact that the dean's salary is particularly generous.

Of course, Lockhart was just curious, because the original owner of the body had made some money by selling books. He had quite a fortune and didn't require a high monthly salary.

Still, Lockhart couldn't help whistling when he glanced at his pay column, lest he realize immediately that he had been rude.

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

"It seems that you are satisfied, that's good, after all, it is Defense Against the Dark Arts class, I have to consider some... extra expenses, you understand." Dumbledore was vague.

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

Dumbledore seemed a little confused: "Personal... what?"

"It's nothing, I'm ready to work, I don't know if you plan to take a look at my lesson preparation first, or test my magic level?" Lockhart seemed confident, and quickly signed his appointment letter name.

"No, usually I don't interfere with the teaching work of professors. All you need to do is to issue a list of textbooks that students will buy this year, and choose your office location. In addition... there is another task to be given to you."

"What mission?" Lockhart asked.

Dumbledore stood up and handed Lockhart a piece of paper.

"We at Hogwarts admit many new students with magical talents every year, and some of them come from wizarding families or mixed-race families—these people usually don't need us to worry about.

But it is a pity that non-magical people are usually skeptical of Hogwarts, and it is very hard work to convince the parents of these little wizards to let their children go to school.

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

"So?" Lockhart opened the envelope.

"So, I think you should be very talented in persuasion. This is a list and address of children from non-wizard families this year. I need you to bring the admission letter to persuade their parents. Of course, not with "The Obscure" to frighten 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 already started to think of myself as a teacher here." Lockhart returned Dumbledore with a brighter smile.

This is a smile that has won Wizards Weekly's "Most Charming Smile Award" five times!

P.So new book is open!

During the holidays, everyone can go out, play games, and have girlfriends, so you can spend time without reading books, right?

So Shijua is very considerate and waits until after the holidays to open a new book. See how much I will worry about everyone! 0 (Watong

Chapter 2 "Lockhart's Wiggle I"

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

Although he was sure that the principal didn't use Legilimency on him, but his experience is here, and he can understand this young man clearly just by observing his words and emotions.

Fortunately, Dumbledore didn't doubt him, and Lockhart took it lightly when he asked about the purpose of his application. Otherwise, there are some things that are hard to say

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

Because the original owner of this body is a complete deceitful person, the "glorious resume" he wrote in many of his famous works are all plagiarized from other people's experience, and he also used the Amnestic Curse to make the original owner forget that experience.

It has to be said that it is not easy to permanently erase the memory of a certain period of time without side effects, and Lockhart was well deserved when he was selected into Ravenclaw by the Sorting Hat.

But apart from this beautiful Oblivion Charm, Lockhart has nothing to commend him in terms of magic. Apart from his writing style and that handsome face, he can be said to be useless.

Although with this face and the "wonderful experience" plagiarized, Lockhart has gained thousands of female wizard fans—and they are all ages from Hermione to Mrs. Weasley—but he has no real talent. As a result of his practical studies, his true colors were revealed during the year he taught at Hogwarts.

If Lockhart knows how to hide himself, it is not impossible for him to rely on the halo of impression

Go on fooling the world for a while.However, his personality is really bad. Even though he has no real talent, he still likes to show off his "ability" by stepping on others. As a result, he failed in less than a month. His own people hate ghosts, so that when he finally lost his memory and was admitted to the hospital, all the teachers and students in the school were rejoicing.

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

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

He was not unaware that the Defense Against the Dark Arts professorship 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 some practical things 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 owner's spellcasting level is a disaster: except for the Oblivion Curse, his life spells and black and white magic attainments perfectly inherit the original owner's expected level—that is, a mess.

In addition to casting a series of spells related to the Oblivion Curse, Lockhart found that no matter what work he did that required practical hands-on work, that job would expose him to his magical abilities within three days, and finally he had to die after the halo shattered Get out and leave.

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

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

Or, what kind of job is there for someone like him?Is it suitable for a person who has no knowledge, a person who likes to talk, a person who has a thick skin, a person who does not pretend to be uncomfortable every day, and a person who has nothing but 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 fucking be the Minister of Magic!

Only politicians can bring out their thick-skinned and black-hearted qualities to the extreme, and being ignorant of learning and skills will not cause any hindrance to political career, and even in a sense, it is a promotion.

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