After leaving the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, Ye Ting walked all the way to an extremely ugly and huge stone monster, then stopped and said the password to it:"Ice lemon juice!" The monster suddenly came to life. It got up and jumped to the side, the wall behind it cracking in half.

Behind the wall was a spiral staircase that was moving slowly upward, like an escalator. As soon as Ye Ting stepped up, he heard a roar from behind and the wall closed again. He whirled higher and higher, higher and higher, until at last he saw in front of him a gleaming oak door with a brass knocker in the shape of a griffon.

He knocked on the knocker and the door opened. Inside was Dumbledore's principal's office. This was his second time here.

It was a large, beautiful round room filled with all kinds of funny little sounds. On the table with slender legs, there were many strange silverwares placed, spinning and spitting out small puffs of smoke.

The walls are covered with portraits of old male and female principals, all snoring gently in their respective frames.

There was also a huge table in the room with claw-shaped legs. On a shelf behind the table sat a tattered, wrinkled wizard's hat - the Sorting Hat.

Ye Ting saw Dumbledore behind the table, but he was immediately attracted by the bird at Dumbledore's feet. It looked like a turkey with half of its feathers plucked. The bird looked at him with sad eyes, and at the same time made a strangled sound. Its eyes were lifeless, and its feathers kept falling from its tail.

"Oh, a phoenix. Ye Ting looked at the bird and murmured:"A phoenix preparing for nirvana is really rare."

He turned to Dumbledore:"Professor, can you call me when your phoenix is ​​about to reach nirvana? I have never seen this scene before.""

"Of course, Mr. Ye, I'm glad you are interested in my Fox. Dumbledore smiled and glanced at Phoenix:"So, why did you come to me?" I remember Mr. Ye should be in the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom now."

"You let me stay in that liar's classroom? Ye Ting rolled his eyes disdainfully:"You are wasting my time." In fact, that's exactly what I'm here for. He took a step forward, walked up to Dumbledore, and asked,"I don't understand, why do you have to let such a boastful guy be the professor of Hogwarts?" Can't you see it? He can't even cast an Iron Armor Charm. If he is a professor, he can't teach us anything at all."

"Yes, yes, Lockhart is indeed not a powerful wizard," Dumbledore nodded with a smile,"He has always liked to talk big and be in the limelight, and that's what he was like back then. I still remember that when he entered school, he declared that he would make the Philosopher's Stone before graduation, and also planned to lead the England Quidditch team to win the World Cup, and eventually became the youngest Minister of Magic in the United Kingdom."

"Oh, you're familiar with Lockhart's past?"Ye Ting asked doubtfully.

"Of course, when he was in school, I had already served as the principal of Hogwarts." Dumbledore showed a nostalgic look,"At that time, he was already very disliked. In order to get attention, he became a a troublemaker. He had his name carved into the Quidditch pitch in 20-foot-long letters, he had his likeness projected into the sky like the Dark Mark, and he sent himself eight hundred Valentine's Day cards. I still remember it. , breakfast had to be canceled that day because a large amount of owl droppings and feathers fell into the cereal. By the time Lockhart graduated, we all breathed a sigh of relief"

"Then why would you let such a person come back as a professor? Ye Ting was a little surprised,"Because no one applied for this position?" Or is it because of his fictitious experiences? You don't think that's true, do you?"

"These experiences are indeed real," Dumbledore sighed:"But they were not done by Lockhart. There were other people who accomplished those achievements. Lockhart traveled to various exotic places in the world, Trick accomplished wizards into revealing their greatest deeds to Lockhart, who would then erase their memories once he learned of them. Then, he wrote these deeds into a book and took it as his own. However, among his 'deeds', there are two that I know very well, and I even know the original owners of two of them: an old Armenian wizard and a gaping witch, both of whom were erased from their memories by Lockhart. But when I wanted to expose Lockhart, I found that I couldn't do it. I thought about it for a long time and didn't understand why."

"Because people need such an idol."Ye Ting replied, thinking of those annoying traffic stars in his previous life:"People need such a perfect idol. He is handsome, has extraordinary achievements, and can satisfy people-especially girls and housewives. All fantasy. Lockhart can fully meet these needs, and I have to admit that he is indeed a good public lover. In addition, Lockhart can also bring huge benefits to others: the media needs him to continue to create news, bookstores need him to sell expensive books, and organizations such as the Ministry of Magic and the Anti-Dark Arts Alliance also need his presence to Prove to all wizards that the wizarding world is beautiful and safe... In short, under such circumstances, Lockhart's position is unbreakable"

"Yes, you did see it more clearly than I did. I had a hard time figuring it out at the time."Dumbledore nodded in agreement, cast an admiring look at Ye Ting, and continued:"So I had no choice but to invite him to Hogwarts. I believe the school is the best place to expose his scam. I believe that as long as Lockhart is put into such a normal school life, his scam will be exposed and he will get the punishment he deserves."

After listening to Dumbledore's explanation, Ye Ting thought for a while and found out that this method is actually very effective. When Lockhart takes professional classes such as Defense Against the Dark Arts, he always has to do it himself, and in this way he will be exposed in front of the students. Bullshit.

The students of Hogwarts are the future of the entire British wizarding world, and more importantly, they stay in the school and see Lockhart’s true level with their own eyes. They are not easily fooled by the media, and their opinions can be very clear. Change their parents' opinions quickly, so that Lockhart's reputation will become worse and worse, and his value will gradually disappear. By that time, except for a few idiot fans, no one will speak for him. Professor Dumbledore's The goal can be achieved - if there were no accidents about the secret room and the basilisk in the original work, then Lockhart's ending might be like this

"Your idea is indeed good, but please don't let me stay in the same room with him anymore, and the same goes for my friends"

""Okay, I agree to your request," Dumbledore said,"If you encounter Defense Against the Dark Arts class, you can do whatever you want, but don't tell others."
