"And therefore the best man for the job is me," Gilderoy Lockhart stated, giving everyone his award winning smile.
"Your resume is impressive," Professor Dumbledore stated, looking over the sheets of parchment in front of him. "But some of these conquests of yours..." his voice trailed off.
"Yes, yes, they are absolutely amazing, aren't they? And wouldn't you love to employ the man who has done so much for the wizarding world at large? I think I would make the finest Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher ever."
"Funny, I don't remember you being this impressive when you attended school here," Professor McGonagall commented, looking over Professor Dumbledore's shoulder. "I seem to remember you nearly failed the practical on your Defense N.E.W.T?"
"Ahh, but I didn't actually fail, Minerva. I was simply misunderstood by the examiner. As you can see from my books, I have a great many years to hone my craft and I welcome the opportunity to teach today's youth all I know," he stated, giving a great hand wave to the stack of books he'd brought with him. Professor McGonagall fought the urge to pinch the bridge of her nose. Surely she could feel a headache coming on.
"His books are amazing, a stunning testament to what one can do if they put their mind to it," Professor Dumbledore stated, giving a nod to Gilderoy's perfectly styled hair.
"But has anyone checked the resources, made sure everything happened as he says. I, for one am quite skeptical about the whole banshee business."
"Dont worry, Minerva, like the banshee you will eventually give into my charms," Gilderoy stated, flashing his award winning smile again.
"See, he's absolutely perfect," Professor Dumbledore stated, returning the smile. Professor McGonagall sighed as she watched Professor Dumbledore sign the paperwork officially hiring Gilderoy Lockhart as the new Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor.
"It's going to be a long year," she muttered as the two started discussing the best color robes to wear. "A very long year," she added, shaking her head.
