Thinking of the new colleague who was about to take office, Thiel couldn't help but frown. Snape was keenly aware of Tier's unhappiness, and approached her with concern: "What's wrong?"

He was worried that Tier was not feeling well.

Before Till could respond, the reason for Till's displeasure emerged.

"Everyone -" Tyr could guarantee that even Lucius Malfoy would think this pompous voice was hypocritical, "Good afternoon. I'm here to have a wonderful lunch with you."

Tyr turned his head and rolled his eyes from an angle that Gilderoy Lockhart couldn't see. Snape and Professor Dumbledore happened to see Tyr's speechlessness and couldn't help but smile.

Gilderoy Lockhart is wearing a bright red robe today. His elaborate dress is actually quite pleasing to the eye, provided that you ignore his exaggerated smile and greasy words: "Are Professor Snape and the Headmaster welcoming me? It's my honor. .”

"My office is a little small - I can't even hang my signed photo - but I should be satisfied to have such a place in a historic castle." No one answered Gilderoy Lockhart, But he is obviously a person who knows how to entertain himself.

Tyr was glad that he was sitting next to Professor Flitwick instead of beside him, but unfortunately, Professor Flitwick couldn't block his face at all, and Tyr would always catch a glimpse of him posing there from the corner of his eye. What he calls "the most charming smile".

Moreover, Gilderoy Lockhart, the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor in the new academic year, was also very unpleasable in his enthusiasm for Till: "Professor Emery, you look very good. I heard that you are a A potions master, right?"

"I also made friends with some famous potion masters. I was previously invited to be a guest of the Association of Extraordinary Pharmacists, but I refused. I was busy preparing to deal with the Tibetan Yeti."

Gilderoy Lockhart was still chattering, but Teal just glanced at the steak in front of him: the steak was beautifully plated, and the familiar black pepper sauce drew elegant patterns on the steak. Garnished with a small wedge of orange and a large slice of lettuce.

"Professor Emery, would you like a piece?" Gilderoy Lockhart accurately caught Till's gaze and pretended to bring his steak to Till.

Professor Flitwick dropped his knife and fork. Gilderoy Lockhart's behavior was already a bit rude.

Before Till could make a move, Snape sneered and refused the enthusiasm on Till's behalf: "No, Professor Lockhart, my fiancée is not someone who likes to trouble house elves."

It's true that house elves like to serve wizards, but everyone has been at Hogwarts for so many years. You can tell at a glance that Gilderoy Lockhart's plate of steak must have gone to the kitchen specifically to find the house elves. The elves ordered them to prepare the food in a delicate direction.

The house elves may not think Gilderoy Lockhart's order is a trouble, as they often take the initiative to prepare various snacks for Tyr, and it can be seen that they enjoy the process of serving everyone.

But taking the initiative and being forced to take the initiative are always two different things.

In particular, Gilderoy Lockhart gave everyone a bad impression.

"No, don't be like that, I was just saying casually." Snape's tone was not good. People who were familiar with him could already hear the anger he endured, but Gilderoy Lockhart was obviously not someone who was familiar with him. “Besides, who wouldn’t love a plate of such exquisite steaks?”

Snape's fist clenched, and Teal reached out and patted the back of his hand, instantly soothing Snape who was about to yell at Gilderoy Lockhart. Gilderoy Lockhart's eyes have also been fixed on Till. He has been curious about this famous Professor Emery for a long time.

But Till was obviously sorry for his expectations and curiosity. She had no interest in interacting with this celebrity at all: "Professor Lockhart is too polite. My fiancé has a very good relationship with me and he knows me well. "

Teal was supporting Snape as soon as he opened his mouth, but this was just the beginning: "Professor Lockhart just mentioned the Tibetan Yeti. I had the honor to read your work. Can the Tibetan Yeti also catch a cold?"

"It's amazing. Mr. Scamander and I visited a traveler before, and he also spent some time with snowmen. He said that snowmen don't get sick." Till showed a puzzled expression, "That's what I remembered. Is it wrong? Or the situation of snowmen in different places is different."

"Uh--"

Everyone was happy to see Gilderoy Lockhart, who had been chatting as soon as he came in, choked, but he obviously had a good psychological quality, and he quickly followed Till's words and started to defend himself: "Yes, that's right. Because the conditions of snowmen in different places are different. What I encountered were snowmen in the Himalayas. They are very tall, but living in such a cold place, nose colds are really normal..."

Teal turned her head and sneered silently. Snape leaned close to her ear and asked her softly: "Did you really visit the Traveler with Mr. Scamander?"

"It's nonsense, he is talking nonsense anyway." Tyr shrugged, ignoring Gilderoy Lockhart who had already "speeched" to the point of entering the No Man's Land, and began to taste the beef stew in front of him.

She actually felt it was a pity. She originally wanted to eat steak, but Gilderoy Lockhart's behavior just now made her temporarily lose her appetite for steak.

Gilderoy Lockhart left soon after lunch. In his words, his office needed more pictures.

"Someone seems to have said that his office has 'no room for pictures'?" The disgusted person finally left. Snape wiped the corners of his mouth and felt that all the good moods of the previous month were on the first day of this month. terminated.

Working with such people... Snape couldn't imagine how difficult every meal would be in the future.

Till leaned on the chair. Seeing that no one was in a hurry to get up, she stayed still, but she wanted to ask Professor Dumbledore: "Why did you invite him to be the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor?" ?”

Till originally thought that Professor Dumbledore was serious about selecting professors. Even though Quirrell was just a pawn used by Voldemort last year, Professor Dumbledore also included him in the plan to train Harry. But at least Quirrell has real talent and learning, and is worthy of the evaluation of "very talented".

Where's that Gilderoy Lockhart who was jumping up and down like a clown just now? Putting aside his adventures, which were full of loopholes upon closer examination, he didn't achieve much when he was a student at Hogwarts. Teal found out that he didn't even get an O in Defense Against the Dark Arts. .

Although grades were not the only criterion for becoming a Hogwarts professor, his adventure experience was fake and his grades were not outstanding. Teal suspected that this was part of another plan being used by Professor Dumbledore.

Professor Dumbledore did not answer Teal's question. The two of them just exchanged glances, and Teal could see his profound meaning.

Undoubtedly, Thiel's suspicions came true.
