The Lord of Ancient Magic

Chapter 20

Harry would follow the headmaster to the entrance of his office as Harry would look at the Griffon statue with a sigh this really did look bad for him considering everything which is why he had to be careful on what he had to say and reveal as the headmaster would speak the password

Dumbledore-'Sherbet Lemon'

And just like that the Griffon statue would twist around as stairs began to form as the 2 would proceed to go to his office and upon arriving inside Harry would look around as it appears to be the same full of unique trinkets as his attention would turn to Fawks as she would look at him

Fawks-'*Welcome back Harry it seems you have gotten yourself in a bind i wonder how you will escape this outcome how cunning are you hmmm?*'

She would ask excitement in her voice as Harry doesnt reply back to the disguised Phoenix woman considering she is with Dumbledore right now as he would return his attention to the old man who takes a seat behind his cluttered desk of objects as he would look at Harry with a twinkle in his eye it would appear the old man was curious

Dumbledore-'Tell me Harry what has spurred you to not attend the feast and wonder the halls?'

Harry-'You do know what tonight is right?'

Dumbledore-'Halloween Harry'

Harry-'Yes and who died during this night?'

Dumbledore-'oh my apologies my boy i guess i got lost in the festive's of Halloween that i had forgotten that tragedy had occured'

Harry-'I can see that but regardless as for my wondering the halls that was only recent as the vast majority of my stay was in the library. I used my invisibility cloak to make sure i wasnt going to be disturb or discovered while in their i wanted to catch up on some reading namely spells that we should be learning in Defence Against the Dark Arts but Lockheart is proving to be less then useful on that regard'

Dumbledore-'Yes the man does like to talk doesnt he i apologise if you are not learning as much as you hoped'

Harry-'Why hire him then sir if all he can do is blabber on about about his achievements which in my less the humble opinion is total bullocks'

Dumbledore-'Oh mind filling me in on why that is?'

Harry-'He is too cocky, arrogant i can understand that sort of arrogance to be warranted to an extent on a few things he has claimed to have done but as we know he has supposedly survived against hordes of Vampires, Werewolves, Deadly Traps, Trolls, Rogue Goblins, Hags and more yet he has no injury on him not even a scratch to show for he would be more humble and actually teach us about those creatures and how to defend yourself instead of essentially telling us his story books i really dont believe he has ever faced such creatures or at least the numbers he has claimed'

Dumbledore-'I can see your point their'

Harry-'Then why not get rid of him? Just fire him all he is doing is telling us fairy tales of "his" adventures while having his fans annoy the rest of us that are not blinded by his charm or bullocks he spews its Defence Against the Dark Arts not Bed Time why not have Professor Snape teach that class i can guarantee his skills are phenomenal and he can get the job done'

Dumbledore-'I am afraid i cant as he was the only person i can find that wanted to take up that position and finding anyone else would be impractical as we had Professor Quirrell have absent leave in the last couple of months last year it wouldn't do any better to have nobody teaching the class as i have no idea how long it would take to find a replacement as for Professor Snape he while having exceptional skill is our potions master unless you want Lockheart to teach potions?'
