As long as he has enough skill, he can handle the job perfectly!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, exactly.\" George nodded in agreement, then patted Harry’s shoulder. \"If you had experiences and skills like Zickrein’s, you could be a professor too. Our great Professor Harry, leading us through dangers and hardships.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, you definitely can’t right now.\" Fred winked and laughed, \"You’d probably lead us right into a ditch.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahahaha!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as the words were out, everyone burst into laughter. Harry Potter scratched his hair in annoyance and said, \"Okay, okay. I admit his legendary background really qualifies him to be our professor, but what subject do you think he’ll teach?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With his skills, any subject would work.\" George rested his chin on his hand, thought for a moment, and said, \"But I think Defense Against the Dark Arts is the most likely.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Defense Against the Dark Arts?\" Harry Potter paused and said, \"Is he good with Dark Arts stuff too?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Simple Ways to Fight Dark Magic—that book was written by him.\" Hermione replied in a teacher-like tone, \"The content is easy to understand. You all should read it more.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Forget books. Practice is what matters!\" Ron predictably disagreed with her and said, \"Right, Harry?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, yeah.\" Harry Potter nodded along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deep down, Harry agreed with Hermione on this—some books were worth reading. But since he was on Ron’s side right now, he didn’t argue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hermione paused, then said loudly, \"How do you practice without knowledge? Don’t be foolish!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thanks for the tip.\" Ron glanced at her, then looked away. \"But this doesn’t concern you. Mind your own business.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You...\" The girl turned red with anger and stopped herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Dumbledore slowly rose from his seat. He raised both hands and gently pressed them downward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, all the chatter stopped. Every young wizard stared wide-eyed at the headmaster on stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s a new school year. Hogwarts welcomes all you new students.\" Dumbledore looked around, speaking at an even pace. \"Of course, it’s not just the cute new students—we have new professors too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>New students and old ones all held their breath, waiting for what the headmaster would say next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let me take a moment to introduce our new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, Professor Gilderoy Lockhart!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The words had barely landed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lockhart, in a bright green robe and dressed very flashily, jumped up and waved to the young wizards. \"Hahahaha! What an honor to see you all here! Yes, I am your new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor! I hear this job carries a lot of weight, but who else could do it? After all, I’ve truly faced all kinds of dark creatures...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing his boasting, Snape nearby showed a look of strong disgust and annoyance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had wanted the Defense Against the Dark Arts job for a long time. But Voldemort had cursed the position, so Dumbledore always turned him down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, seeing this fool Lockhart bragging in the role, you can imagine how revolted he felt inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, how long is he going to keep talking?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We weren’t waiting for his speech anyway!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But you have to admit, he has some real talent. The wizarding world agrees.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"His smile is really charming.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lockhart’s nonstop rambling drew complaints from the male young wizards. The females had stars in their eyes and looked full of admiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s rude, but please let me interrupt, Professor Lockhart.\" After a while, Professor McGonagall, seated to his left, finally spoke up, unable to take it anymore. \"We’re short on time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, of course.\" Lockhart paused, then nodded lightly. \"Becoming a Hogwarts professor has me so excited, I talked too much.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We understand.\" Dumbledore smiled and nodded at him. \"But if this continues, the students will head to their dorms on empty stomachs.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahahaha!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Laughter filled the hall. The male students’ laughs clearly carried sarcasm. Dumbledore waved it off and continued, \"Next, our new Astronomy professor! Zickrein Pastor!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wow!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hall exploded in gasps. Some young wizards hadn’t been sure it was really him before. Now, with Dumbledore saying it himself, they finally knew for sure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zickrein Pastor! The legend among legends was really coming to teach at their school. This was thrilling in a way that left them speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clap clap clap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone started applauding. The hall soon filled with thunderous applause.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff students—boys and girls—all wore joyful smiles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not just the students; the professors clapped happily too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had all taken part, to some degree, in Zickrein’s legendary feats. They felt proud of what this boy, like a god of magic in human form, had achieved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Lockhart clapped along, though it was hard to tell how sincere he was. His smile looked wide and happy, as if he’d helped shape Zickrein himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this heated, upbeat mood, Zickrein stood up slowly. \"Thank you for the welcome. I’ll work hard to guide you through Astronomy’s secrets. I’m back at Hogwarts today not just as a professor, but as a student too.\" He sat back down after his short speech.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What? A student?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No way! Are we going to classes with Zickrein?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh my god! Which house will he join? Can I be his roommate?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Calm down—you’re a girl!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s exactly why I want to be his roommate!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zickrein’s words sparked all sorts of guesses and heated talk among the young wizards. The whole Hogwarts was as noisy as a busy market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Read 30 advanced Chapters on my patreon\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>patreon.com\u002FGustinaKamiya\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>",959,"2026-06-05T23:59:04.159Z",1,"novelbin.me","47186c4b8bf9a298f2e355a6c0258718cace1f2d3e1363d25c954b0f13224a7a","as-aizen-in-naruto-and-joined-a-chat-group-chapter-394","as-aizen-in-naruto-and-joined-a-chat-group-chapter-392",443,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fas-aizen-in-naruto-and-joined-a-chat-group-cover.jpg"]
