"fairy tale?"
Dumbledore fell into deep thought. His life experience was so rich that he could easily find too many cases that matched Lockhart's fairy tale theory.
"Yes, magic is the ultimate romance of fairy tales." Lockhart repeated the sentence. "As a wizard who has grown up in Muggle society, I feel this all too well when I enter the school. Professor Dumbledore, you probably can't understand that wonderful experience of stepping into a fairy tale world."
"That experience made me extremely fascinated by magic, even to the point of having too many wild fantasies, which brought more possibilities for my spellcasting."
"You can seek confirmation from wizards who have transitioned from Muggle society to wizarding society."
"Of course, I think I'm the one who understands this theory the best."
This statement may not be an exaggeration. From the time Lockhart entered Hogwarts as a child until he entered the magical world, although there were various difficulties to overcome, most of his life was actually smooth sailing. He easily obtained a social status that even wizards from pure-blood families with deep roots could not achieve.
Take Snape, for example. He also grew up in Muggle society, but for him, entering the magical world probably didn't bring him any romance.
The little golden retriever curiously peeked out from the edge of the wizard's robe pocket, peeking out half of its fluffy golden head as it looked at Dumbledore across from it. This was only the second wizard it had ever seen who was unafraid of its own abilities.
It then looked at the shelf on the table, where a large, fiery red bird was staring at it menacingly, which frightened it so much that it shrank back into its pocket.
Lockhart picked a grape from the table, put it in his pocket and handed it to the grape, patted its head to signal it to be quiet, and then looked at Dumbledore expectantly.
"What do you intend to do?" Dumbledore asked, his fingers interlaced on the table, his gaze full of scrutiny.
"I know we shouldn't rashly change Hogwarts' teaching style and pace, so I plan to incorporate fairytale-style exercises into the curriculum." Lockhart's idea was extremely cautious, and he looked at Dumbledore with great care.
"But having only one student from each house per class is far too few to complete such a drill. I desperately hope that every young wizard can participate, or at least that all four houses in one year take such a class together."
"Believe me, I think I have some understanding of why schools divide students into colleges, but I want to say that the fairytale-like simulation should be a joint effort by students from colleges with different styles."
"The Dark Lord or the ambitious one can be Slytherin, the wise scholar can be Ravenclaw, the hero can be Gryffindor, and the doer and the one who contributes quietly can be Hufflepuff."
"Of course, sometimes trying to let them play different styles of roles, or even switching roles, might be easier to broaden their horizons."
What do you think?
genius!
With four colleges teaching together, the course volume was reduced to one-quarter, and the amount of lesson preparation was also reduced to one-quarter!
Dumbledore didn't answer immediately, but fell into thought. After a moment, he looked at the photos of the headmasters on the wall, "Perhaps someone can help me summon Professor McGonagall?"
There is a play!
Lockhart's eyes lit up, and he waited expectantly with Dumbledore for Professor McGonagall's arrival.
Professor McGonagall arrived sooner than expected. The beginning of the semester was busy, and she was not resting at this time. She was giving a speech to the prefects, and she was not far from Dumbledore's office.
Lockhart's suggestion was more than just a change in teaching methods for her; it involved a complete overhaul of the schedule for all the teachers and students at the magic school, and heaven knows how much time she would have to spend getting it sorted out.
But Professor McGonagall, who seemed rigid and bound by rules, was far more adaptable than Lockhart had imagined. She only pondered for a moment before agreeing with the view.
"I'm not sure if Professor Lockhart's opinion is correct, but I must say, Professor Dumbledore, the past educational results of our Defence Against the Dark Arts course at Hogwarts have not been satisfactory to me. I look forward to the possibilities that the knowledgeable Lockhart may bring."
The implication is that since the Black Defense Division is in such a terrible state, why not let Lockhart give it a try?
This……
Lockhart looked at Professor McGonagall, who was looking at him with expectation, and was suddenly moved.
It feels so good to be trusted.
Perhaps this is precisely Professor McGonagall's personal charm; she is willing to give those who recognize her more opportunities to showcase their abilities.
Just like Harry Potter, a first-year student, was given the opportunity to participate in Quidditch, a game that was crucial for the House's ranking, perhaps Harry felt the same way I did back then.
It was moving, but also stressful.
Fortunately, the ability boost brought about by the fairytale atmosphere was not something Lockhart made up; it was the reason why the original owner's strength increased so rapidly.
Lockhart didn't mind revealing this secret to the public.
The original owner of this body thought the same thing.
The original owner of this body simply wanted to maximize the value of this secret, which is why she didn't include it in the book.
He plans to maximize his contribution to "Harry's Heroic Fairy Tales," ultimately publishing a book based on real-life examples to achieve the greatest possible reward.
The benefits include self-improvement, the reputation of being an education master, the profits from publishing books, enhanced relationship with Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the gratitude of so many students who have benefited, and future connections.
Looking back at the original work, Lockhart did indeed do this; he often had students come up to the stage during class to act out the characters from his books' battle stories.
The problem was that he lost his classmates' trust early on and failed to create a good atmosphere for them to immerse themselves in the adventure fairy tale characters, which resulted in a really bad outcome.
So much so that in the original book, Harry and Ron were furiously criticizing this foolish move, and even Hermione, a big fan, couldn't refute it.
Now, can he do this well?
Lockhart, seeing the expectant looks on Professor Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall's faces, flashed a perfect smile, stood up, and solemnly declared, "Just you wait and see, no one knows magic better than me!"
He will fulfill the original owner's regrets and resolve the original owner's unfinished business, and he will do it to the best of his ability!
Then, he will completely devour, absorb, and digest the original body's memories.
At the very least, he will possess the original body's strength.
The top-tier Oblivion Charm, along with barely usable Apparition, Cleanse Charm, Lockpicking Charm, Simple Healing Charm, and all the other skills the original user honed through numerous adventures.
……
the next day.
The first class of the new school year is an extremely special experience for every young wizard, as Professor Lockhart will be conducting an experimental large class for all young wizards, witnessed by Professors Dumbledore and McGonagall.
Seven grades attend the same class together.
Anyway, Professor McGonagall actually arranged a lively class, and almost all the professors were affected by the class adjustment, so they simply came to sit in and see what Lockhart had to say.
"He's such a show-off!" Ron couldn't help but complain from the corner as he followed everyone to the auditorium, since there was nowhere else in the school that could accommodate so many students at the same time.
"Ron!" Hermione exclaimed, displeased. "I don't think you should speak so ill of a professor who wants to teach you so much valuable knowledge!"
"Oh, really?" Ron chuckled. "You didn't seem angry when we were talking bad about Snape before."
Hermione was furious. She turned her face away, indicating that she never wanted to talk to him again.
Soon, the auditorium quieted down under the organization of the grade leaders.
Our conspicuous Professor Lockhart, dressed in a magnificent pure gold wizard's robe, strode briskly onto the stage. He had just been inquiring about the previous teaching progress from the older students, and to give them a little test, he had selected a few students to cast the "Loud Voice" spell on him.
Plans are in place!
"Students..."
His voice carried to every corner of the Great Hall. Because it was too loud, he quickly lowered his voice and spoke in a more steady tone, first telling a few interesting stories about defense against dark magic to warm up the atmosphere.
Then he smiled and looked at all the students, as well as Professor Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, and Professor Snape who had come to listen in from the corner...
Well, almost the entire school came.
He wasn't intimidated at all; in fact, he was quite excited.
Because he knew that the stereotype of him as "a magic master" would begin with today's lesson.
This is called a good start.
"Now, let's get to our main topic today."
"What I want to discuss with you today is—the true essence of magic!"
See, nothing elevates one's sophistication more than a topic like this.
