After coming out of the principal's office, Aaron walked towards Minerva McGonagall's office.
Dumbledore finally finalized some matters related to his teaching, and said that he had notified the relevant people and went to Professor McGonagall, and she would help you go through the rest of the process.
Walking down the corridors of Hogwarts again after three years, Aaron had a different state of mind. Now, he is a professor at Hogwarts, the center of magic in Britain.
When he walked to the door of Mag's office, he heard an incredible voice coming from inside:
"Professor Lockhart, are you sure you really want to specify such a long list of books? That's more than all the other subjects combined."
"Of course, dear Ms. McGonagall, our students need this knowledge. You don't know how many dark corners there are in this world... Take my experience as an example. In Romania, I once encountered a vicious vampire... …”
After listening for a while, Aaron frowned, and he pushed the door in, interrupting the chatter inside.
There were already two people in the office. Professor McGonagall was standing by the window. She was still wearing her emerald green robe. His face was tense, and his eyes showed fatigue and boredom, as if he was facing something difficult and entangled.
But as soon as she saw Aaron come in, her expression suddenly changed - Aaron could clearly see that the corners of her mouth had curved.
"Castor! You are here. Dumbledore has told me everything. Very good. I am proud of you. I believe you will become an outstanding professor..."
Professor McGonagall has always been very kind to Aaron - as a Gryffindor, he rarely has many Ravenclaw characteristics, which makes Professor McGonagall easily think of himself back then.
Moreover, Aaron's grades were very good, especially in the art of transfiguration, and he always had many weird ideas that surprised even her, the teacher.
He has also always been the main player in Gryffindor's competition for the Academy Cup - although he often causes many accidents, Aaron is very measured. He either acts in areas that are not stipulated in the school rules, or repeatedly acts on the verge of breaking the rules. Jump.
And the most important thing is that Snape has never deducted points from him. Based on this alone, Aaron has made an extremely huge contribution to Gryffindor.
Mag waved his magic wand, and the parchments flew out of the cabinet one after another:
"I've prepared everything for you. This is the contract you need to sign when you join the company. This is your letter of appointment, as well as the student list, class schedule and some precautions. Your office is on the seventh floor of the castle. As long as-"
"Oh, so this young man is our new future colleague?"
At this time, another person in the room interrupted Mag's words.
This is a handsome wizard, he wears a beautiful swan blue cloak, has blue eyes, wavy golden long hair, and that iconic charming smile.
He kept smiling, showing his snow-white teeth, walked up to Aaron, and patted Aaron on the shoulder like a senior encouraging a junior, with a very precise gesture:
"How lucky! The ancient Hogwarts can welcome two young and outstanding professors at the same time. Ah, I think I can already predict the surprised looks in the little wizards' eyes when the school starts."
"Well Mr. Lockhart, I don't have a camera here, so there's no need to pose like that."
McGonagall frowned, feeling very unhappy that Lockhart interrupted her. She looked past Lockhart and looked at Aaron:
"Aaron, these documents are very important. You'd better find a bag or something to put them in. Don't lose them."
"Okay, Professor McGonagall."
Aaron finally had a chance to speak. He calmly broke away from Lockhart's hand, walked to the stack of papers, stretched out his wand and tapped it - the stack of papers turned into a bracelet.
Aaron wrapped the bracelet around his wrist, and a line of words immediately appeared on the bracelet: Hogwarts Professor Related Documents, then he raised his hand and gave McGonagall a look, and said with a smile:
"Look, Professor, this way you won't lose it."
A rare smile appeared on Mag's face, and she praised: "Very good, Custer, it seems that your transformation skills are getting better and better."
At this time, Lockhart followed again. In order to show his presence, he ignored Aaron and Mag's impatience and praised loudly:
"Great magic. It seems that you must be a powerful wizard. Speaking of which, I was just talking to Professor McGonagall about how to deal with vampires. Do you have any good suggestions?"
"Use silver——"
"Yes, everyone knows that silver is used, but how to use it? You have to find the answer from my book - "Walking with Vampires", where I introduce about a hundred ways to deal with vampires. In addition to In addition to silver, we also use garlic, holy water and crosses. Of course, combining them will have the best effect-"
"It doesn't have to be so troublesome."
Aaron also learned. He interrupted Lockhart's spiel directly and said in a relaxed tone:
"As long as you put a silver dagger against their chest, all problems will be solved. Of course, iron daggers are not impossible."
"Use a dagger?" Lockhart was stunned for a moment. This method was something he had never thought of.
A picture immediately emerged in his mind: a stern-faced wizard, holding a shining dagger against the ugly vampire's chest, and said coldly: Leave or die.
What a great idea, copied it!
Lockhart's eyes suddenly lit up. He was about to speak, but was interrupted by McGonagall:
"Okay, Professor Lockhart, you are free to designate any books you want. I have no right to interfere. Can you please leave my office now? Aaron and I still have something to say."
"I……"
Lockhart wanted to say something else, but who knew that Mag waved his magic wand and the door to the office opened directly: "Please, I believe that a famous person like you must have a lot of things to be busy with."
"Okay then." Lockhart pretended to smile casually. He stretched out his hands and acted like a gentleman: "Happy time is always short, you two, we will see you when school starts."
With that, he walked out the door and left.
With a bang, the door closed.
Mag finally breathed a sigh of relief, and her attitude improved visibly - she took out a colorful lattice biscuit box and said hello:
"Here are some ginger salamander cookies. I originally thought you would choose to teach transfiguration. I was still wondering if you could help me-"
"How come, you teach very well, this is recognized by everyone." Aaron complimented.
He knew Mag very well. She had a very strong responsibility towards the little wizards she taught. If he really asked her to divide some of her work, she would be so worried that she wouldn't be able to sleep well every day.
Professor McGonagall smiled - obviously, even she was very happy with such beautiful words.
"But..." Aaron couldn't help but said doubtfully: "That gentleman just now was..."
"Gilderoy Lockhart, Albus's new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher." McGonagall said with a headache.
"Oh, it turns out to be the teacher..." Aaron had already guessed it, and he said tactfully:
"Professor McGonagall, with all due respect, is this teacher a little... unreliable?"
"well!"
Mag gave a rare sigh and showed a helpless expression: "I have repeatedly confirmed with Albus. I don't understand... what can the students learn from him?"
Aaron smiled and said: "I think Professor Dumbledore naturally has his intentions."
In fact, Aaron could completely understand why Dumbledore did what he did.
There is no need to mention all kinds of high-sounding reasons. Just one point: According to rumors from the outside world, the course Defense Against the Dark Arts is cursed!
Voldemort, the biggest villain in the Harry Potter series and a famous melon-eating enthusiast, once applied for this teaching position, but he failed.
After the defeat, Voldemort was unwilling to accept the defeat, so he placed a curse on the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. Anyone who held this position would surely encounter an accident for up to one year.
So, this is equivalent to the fact that the Dark Arts Defense teacher at Hogwarts has since become an 'annual throwaway type', and it has been about thirty or forty years since Voldemort cursed him.
This means that the course of anti-dark magic has consumed thirty or forty wizards!
The entire British wizarding world is so big, and after so many years, any wizard who is really capable of teaching this class has probably been beaten by Dumbledore.
In this case, what does it mean for Dumbledore to find Lockhart? He wouldn't be surprised if he found a werewolf to teach!
In fact, after news of the rapid replacement of this position spread, Dumbledore was able to trick someone into taking over the job. This is something Aaron admires very much. It shows that Dumbledore is very eloquent, but he just doesn't know - who did he learn it from?
