"Mr. Zhang, Mrs. Zhang, hello. Lockhart was the first to greet them, "I wonder if you saw that poster of the real Lockhart?"

"See, I basically understand what is going on, please take a seat, Professor Lockhart, and all ......of you," Cho Zhang's father put down the newspaper and motioned for them to sit down.

"Thanks, you won't report us, will you. Lockhart stared at Mr. Chang and said that he could see that Cho Zhang's father was not a powerful wizard, and Lockhart quietly used the Dementor to make sure he was talking to him.

"Don't worry, I'm technically a Muggle wizard, so we're on our own. Mr. Zhang smiled and said, "Bonnie, pour tea for the guests." ”

Harry whispers and talks about love with his girlfriend, who he hasn't seen in days, while Lockhart notices more in his chat with Cho Chang's father. The fluctuations in his mana were very faint, almost between a Squib and a wizard, which made Lockhart suddenly have a bold guess.

"Mr. Zhang, are you Chinese?" Lockhart asked.

"That's right, you can see it at a glance!" Mr. Zhang became excited, "Most people will ask me if I am Korean or Japanese, and I am simply suffocated." ”

"Heh, I've been to China...... So get to know you better. Lockhart said, "You said you were a Muggle wizard, and you were born to England?" ”

"Actually, I only came to the UK as an adult. He said, "Before that, I had no idea that I was a wizard! ”

"If I'm not mistaken, those are probably the wizards of the Hidden World......," Lockhart guessed, "You know what's going on in the Chinese wizarding world right now." ”

"Well, a little bit of that. I guess it was the two Taoist priests who found out that I was a wizard and went to the door to test. You found out that my talent was too poor, so you didn't take me back to the Taoist temple to practice!" Qiu Zhang's father said with a self-deprecating smile, "But it's okay, otherwise I wouldn't have had a chance to meet Qiu's mother." ”

I'm afraid that's the case, in China, there are probably not a few people like Qiu's father who are between squibs and wizards, and the hermit faction can only pick up the tallest among the short and absorb those relatively good Muggle wizards, and the WTO faction is estimated to be even more pitiful...... Thankfully, it won't be like that anymore.

"So. Actually, you're not on the British Ministry of Magic's list of wizards. Lockhart laughed and said, "That's lucky." ”

"yes, that's lucky. He agreed. "I've met Harry Potter and Hermione Granger...... Who are these two?"

"Albert Terrence is from the United States, and he is a volunteer. ”

"Cyris Black, you've probably seen me embarrassed in the newspapers. ”

"Ah, you're that modern-day Prometheus, the Sirius who spent more than a decade in Azkaban for the son of a friend, for revenge?"

"Your opinion is too high, but it's down there. Blake couldn't hide his joy at being highly rated. But then he became sentimental: "It's a pity, this Prometheus, it's not ...... right"

"I'm sorry," Mr. Zhang comforted. "And Scrimgeour and the Aurors?"

"Our detachment operated. Hermione said.

"Oh. That's good, it's great that there are so many good wizards holding out to resist. The man said, "In the past two days, the Ministry of Magic has even started counting and reviewing the Squibs." I was terrified, but luckily I didn't have fun and went to Diagon Alley to buy a wand...... Otherwise—"

"As soon as you buy the wand, you're in the records of the Ministry of Magic. Lockhart exclaimed, "How can you resist buying a wand......?

"Hey, hey. I haven't been to Hogwarts, so it's useless to buy it, and if you do housework, Bonnie and Cho's wands are enough. ”

Mrs. Zhang came to the hall with black tea and poured a cup for everyone, and then sat down next to her husband, who still looked a little panicked.

"Ladies and gentlemen...... Forehead...... Sir, is there anything important about coming to my house? She said tremblingly.

Lockhart took a sip of hot tea and waved his hand: "Madam, don't be nervous, we're just here to visit, even if someone from the Ministry of Magic comes to ask, you can sell us all, oh of course, except for Albert, this young man." Lockhart looked at Harry and Cho Chang. "This time, we just accompanied the savior to meet the little girlfriend, and by the way, we met Xia Qiu's parents. ”

"Oh—" The woman breathed a sigh of relief.

"Bonnie, you're so rude," her husband said dissatisfied............ "These are the saviors and backbones of the wizarding world here, and the guarantee that we can live in peace!" By the time the persecution comes to half-blood wizards like you, we won't have any allies!"

"Oh, I'm sorry...... I'm just a little nervous......" Qiu's mother said cautiously.

"Dinner is ready, let's stay and eat together, it's not enough for Bonnie to make it again. Mr. Zhang said enthusiastically, "Qiu, go and move a few chairs." ”

"You're welcome, we haven't had a proper meal in days. Lockhart didn't care about being polite either, they needed to have a good meal in a warm room, and then go to the supermarket and other places to replenish themselves before they could continue their escape.

――

The apartment environment of Qiu Zhang is good, but the rooms are not enough. However, this was not a problem at all, and Lockhart set up a tent in the hall after setting up an alarm barrier around the house...... Sleep as usual.

――

Early the next morning, Lockhart led everyone to say goodbye to Zhang Qiu's family. Before leaving, he left them a contact note that they had made in a hurry, so that they could contact them if they had any situation or important news, and then left here.

Autumn bravely expressed that she wanted to go on an escape adventure with Lockhart, but it was really inappropriate to take her away from her parents to do such a dangerous thing, and secondly, Lockhart was not optimistic that Lockhart, a delicate girl, could help her, maybe soothe the savior's emotions.

――

Still drinking the polyjuice potion, the group prepared to go to the supermarket to buy some supplies, and then continue their journey of escape and resistance. Today is Christmas, and although the shamans do not believe in God, it does not prevent them from celebrating this holiday. It is not known whether the affairs of the Manjik family have been discovered, but it is unlikely that they will encounter a search party if they want to buy something in Edinburgh, and the five of them walked along the street, asking for directions to the nearest big supermarket.

"That's the end of what I wanted to do, and now we're going to have to work like the other two teams to find the whereabouts of the next Horcrux and find a safe way to destroy it. Lockhart said, "The latter doesn't need to be in a hurry, we can wait for the two Horcruxes to come together, but we don't have a clue about the former......"

"Let's find a way while looking for Horcruxes, this kind of thing can't be rushed. "Do you know any wizards who are more proficient in magic, like those examiners of the wizard level test, they should know a lot." ”

"How many do you know? ”

"I remember a few names, but I don't know ......," he said embarrassedly, "I was so nervous about taking the exam at that time, how could I have the heart to be close to the examiner." ”

"What about you, what do you think, where to go next, what to do?" Lockhart asked the three younger grades.

"Nope. They shook their heads.

"Then let's think about it after buying things first. Hermione reminded, "The supermarket usually closes after noon on Christmas, so we have to hurry." ”
