Chapter 447

~5 min read 990 words

He packed his luggage that night and dragged it to find Dumbledore.

"Headmaster Dumbledore, when you invited me, you didn't say that Hogwarts students would dislike me like this, and even slander me like this!"

Lockhart was full of grievance.

A flash of joy flickered in his eyes.

He even wanted to take this opportunity to leave Hogwarts.

He didn't want to teach at Hogwarts at all.

He didn't plan to come from the beginning.

Who doesn't know that this Defense Against the Dark Arts course has a curse; very few people who teach in this position survive.

But who knew Dumbledore knew his secret and forced him to come to Hogwarts to be a professor.

And said that if he didn't come, Dumbledore would spread the evidence he had.

But if he could persist at Hogwarts for a year safely, or be expelled by Dumbledore personally, he could leave.

He thought for a long time and decided to act particularly annoying, making people dislike him, until all the students jointly drove him away.

So he had acted so strangely for the past half year.

In fact, he graduated from Ravenclaw, how could he really be that stupid?

He had been at school for so long, acting crazy and stupid every day, but in fact, he was clear in his heart.

Especially after the petrification incident appeared in the school, he wanted to leave even more.

Plus Darren was almost killed by Death Eaters, he really almost packed his luggage and left overnight.

But he didn't succeed.

Dumbledore blocked him.

In order to make students and professors dislike him more, and let these people drive him out of school, he even started discussing fake matches with that Darren Potter.

He thought it would just make that Darren Potter expose his untruthfulness.

As a result, this Darren Potter actually slandered him, saying he threatened him.

How could that be?

If he, Lockhart, threatened this Darren Potter, wouldn't he become one of the Death Eaters?

What if he was caught by someone?

He knew the difference between being disliked and being sent to Azkaban.

Even if he died, he wouldn't go to Azkaban!

He thought Dumbledore understood this idea, but Dumbledore heard what he said and asked somewhat seriously: "Why did you threaten Darren?"

"No, I said, I didn't threaten him at all!"

Lockhart looked at Dumbledore incredulously.

Dumbledore believed such a lie?

"Alright, don't pretend, Severus told me everything, you threatened Darren in front of many people...

At that time Darren was scared pale, do you think Darren would lie?"

Dumbledore crossed his hands, his blue eyes flickering behind his lenses.

Darren wouldn't lie at all.

So what did Lockhart want to do?

"He and Snape wouldn't lie? So you mean I lied?"

Lockhart looked at Dumbledore in shock.

Seeing Dumbledore nod, he opened his mouth in astonishment and said unacceptably: "Dumbledore, you know the reason I came to this school.

I want to leave at any time, how can you suspect that I threatened Darren Potter?"

"Yes, that is exactly the reason I am asking you!"

Dumbledore looked at Lockhart's suitcase, his eyes gradually becoming sharp.

"Or maybe you want to get rid of me, so you plan to have some contact with those Death Eaters, perhaps..."

Dumbledore suddenly looked straight into Lockhart's eyes.

Lockhart immediately took a step back.

"Dumbledore, don't pull that on me, my memory doesn't need others to probe!"

Lockhart said vigilantly.

Too many things were hidden in his memory, most of which couldn't be seen by others.

Dumbledore laughed, and then his expression became serious.

"Yes, it is precisely because of this that I suspect you even more...

Now, either go back and continue being your professor, or go to the Ministry of Magic and wait to enter Azkaban!"

"My god, Dumbledore, I don't want to stay at Hogwarts anymore, it's too terrifying here..."

Chamber of Secrets, when the Chamber of Secrets was opened, a girl died, do you think I don't know?

And now there are Death Eaters wandering around somewhere, they could rush in and kill people at any time.

Nine, nine students died... who knows if the next one won't be a professor?

Lockhart said tremblingly.

He really didn't want to stay at Hogwarts for even a second.

Although his brain was okay, his strength was really not good.

His magic power was not strong, he really couldn't beat those Death Eaters.

"I know you are very scared, but I will not agree to you leaving here... perhaps you can persist in your previous idea, let the students drive you out of school."

Dumbledore said jokingly.

Lockhart's fingers trembled.

Dumbledore actually knew everything.

Too ruthless, right?

Was there really no way out for him?

And if he continued to stay at Hogwarts, even if he really lived to the end of the semester, he might be discovered by people that his books were all fake.

They wouldn't suspect that he stole other people's experiences, but they would definitely feel that it was something he heard from others.

Then he would be disliked by his fans and looked down upon by others.

"No, you are still alive, and you don't have to go to Azkaban, right?"

Dumbledore looked down at Lockhart from above.

His expression was not as kind as usual, but instead as evil as a Dark Lord.

"Remember, this is the last time, I hope in the end you don't make me collect your corpse!"

Lockhart couldn't help but shiver.

He fled Dumbledore's office with an expression of fear.

"Yo, yo, yo, isn't this the famous Lockhart?"

Just as Lockhart was running out with his luggage, he saw Snape's mocking eyes.

He was just about to say hello when he suddenly felt his brain go blank.

Before losing consciousness, he thought confusedly, is Snape crazy?

Attacking a professor, how dare he?

"Obliviate!"

Lockhart's last thought was: How is Snape so skilled?
