"Albus!" Gilderoy cried joyfully. "How wonderful it is to find you here!" Dumbledore groaned as the oblivious man sidled up to his side. He had hired Lockhart solely because he knew of the man’s secret about obliviating people and stealing their stories for himself. He also knew that because the man didn’t do any of the work or study himself, he wouldn’t be able to teach the miscreants information they didn’t need to know. It was ridiculous what some people wished to teach the impressionable minds of children, or how stupid some students were, trying to press for answers at dangerous costs. He knew what was best. But unfortunately, he hadn’t accounted for how annoying, self absorbent, and idiotic Gilderoy actually was. And apparently, he had been useless enough for students to send memories to the Board of Governors!! He could only imagine the damage that would happen if Bones, Malfoy and LeClair looked into his hiring choices.
