Chapter 405: Secret Mission
Lockhart's high-minded talk last night really moved Fleur, and she was about to write to her parents to ask for their opinions, but Lockhart was delighted, but still maintained the demeanor of a master - after all, what he said was seven points true and three points false, not entirely nonsense, and he was not afraid that someone would be able to expose it.
The next morning, the group still went out in a big way, and when they arrived at the Ministry of Magic, everyone still went to their own places as usual. After sitting down at his desk, Lockhart was surprised to find that there were a lot more documents on the table in front of him, and when he picked it up, he saw that it was the Ministry of Magic of many countries that were jointly urging him to quickly try and release the imprisoned wizards......
"It's annoying to these guys. Lockhart muttered a little speechlessly, this can't go on like this, something has to be done......
He pulled out the note and contacted Martin.
After a cup of coffee, the head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement knocked on the door and entered the minister's office.
"What's the matter, Minister. ”
"Why are you still calling the minister...... Lockhart said with a smile, "have the Aurors been busy lately?" ”
"There's no work, we can't control things far from London, and there are no wizards around London who dare to commit crimes. Martin said distressedly, "I guess it's because you're here, if you connect to the Floo network, the workload will go up all of a sudden." ”
"Floo's network can be completely repaired in a week or two. "Until then, I'm going to let you do something, something secret, not very difficult, but a little troublesome......"
"Say it. ”
"Other ministries of magic are urging us to release them...... I guess it's the Death Eaters who are behind it, but for a lot of reasons, I can't do that right now, and you can understand my frustration. ”
"Of course you can't let it go!" Martin's eyes flashed, he had watched a dozen of his colleagues fall under the spell of the Death Eaters, "The mysterious man is not dead, it is estimated that he will become a Death Eater again as soon as he is released, and they have not been punished yet!"
"That's right. So make a pig teammate show -- I'll play you," Lockhart was pleased with his reaction, "and since they're in such a hurry, we're going to give them another boost of oil -- send a group of reliable Aurors to find out which families are dominating other countries and the Ministry of Magic urging me to release them, and then kidnap the families of the high-ranking officials who have nothing to do with the Death Eaters......"
"I see, you mean, I sent someone disguised as a Death Eater remnant, kidnapped the families of high-ranking Ministry of Magic officials in other countries, and then asked their Ministries to speed up the pace of urging us to release them......" Martin was not a newcomer, and quickly understood what Lockhart meant. In order to provoke the resentment of the Death Eaters among the high-ranking officials of these countries, or the neutral parties, they were drawn into internal strife. ”
"Yes, it's France and Germany, but you can't really let their families get hurt......" Lockhart touched the stubble on his chin, "Go to France first, take the hostages, privately tell the people in charge to put pressure on me, and then pretend to be lax and let the hostages escape." ”
"Well, then what. Martin nodded.
"And then it flows to Germany. When the matter in France got bigger, the Death Eaters were wanted and the families of several high-ranking officials of the German Ministry of Magic were arrested - no, the families of the Minister of Magic. Then publicly demanded that the Death Eaters I had in prison be exchanged for hostages. Lockhart said viciously, "Then." He pointed his finger at Martin, "You take it yourself and get these 'remnants of the Death Eaters' back." This must have silenced the German and French Ministries of Magic for a while, and these two countries have shut up. Other countries don't have to worry about ...... at all."
"It's a little difficult, but we'll arrange for the most senior old Auror to go. The Director of the Executive Division nodded.
"Come on, these two countries don't have a large and well-trained wizarding organization like the Aurors. It shouldn't be a big problem, remember to send the Aurors who know the Death Eaters best and can play the enemy realistically. It's best if you can't, and if you can't, don't get caught - that's it. Lockhart frowned a little worriedly, not knowing if it was good for him to do this, "I'm just making suggestions, and you decide how to do it, anyway - do it well, don't get me in trouble." ”
"I'll arrange this myself. Without hesitation, Martin said, "If—"
The Director of the Executive Division shut up as the door to the Minister's office suddenly opened, and a small figure pushed the door and squeezed in.
It's Gabrielle, Lockhart is not surprised that she will come, this little Lori has nowhere else to go in the Ministry of Magic, and even if there is, she will definitely come to her first......
She was stunned for a moment when she saw someone in the room, and then she ran up behind Lockhart, and hid behind her with her hands on the back of her chair, and looked out at Martin, and the little girl knew that she could not delay the adult's business.
......Of course, the things that the two were discussing could not be heard by outsiders, and Martin didn't know Gabrielle, so after frowning at her for a while, he spoke mercilessly: "Gildero, this girl has Meiwa blood, and it seems that she wants to charm you, who is she?"
"What?" said Xiao Meiwa looked at him innocently.
"Don't be nervous, this is the sister of Arthur's daughter-in-law, who has only awakened her charm ability in the past two days, and she can't control herself, but I won't be tricked. Lockhart motioned for him to relax: "Okay, this matter is up to you, do it nicely." ”
――
After Martin left, Lockhart smiled and turned his head to beckon to Gabrielle, and the little girl immediately turned happily from behind her chair and sat on his knees for him to hold herself.
"What do you mean by trying to charm you?" asked the girl curiously.
"It's nothing, come on, let the professor kiss it first. Lockhart rolled his throat and couldn't hold back his hand on the neck of the stunner sitting on his lap......
After taking a sip of the refreshing Mei Wa's blood, Lockhart would not be annoyed by the pleasure, and continued to hug Gabrielle to chat with her and teach her English, without compromising on spending half a day of boring time with her. Twenty or thirty milliliters of blood for two hours of chatting with the British Minister of Magic, Lockhart felt that he was fair and did not bully the other party...... didn't mention that he was still wantonly enjoying Xiao Meiwa's sweet and tender body in the process, and he was too full of sibling desires.
――
In the afternoon, when it was time to get down to business, Lockhart arrived at the Auror Command and found Hermione and the two Auror Newcomers, both hiding in Harry's office.
"How's it going?"
"That's a lot!" complained Ron. "I'm trying to learn. ”
"Me too. Harry said.
"You can't learn this in a day or two, you just have to memorize it all first, and then I will make sure you learn it all in training. Lockhart comforted them. "But this afternoon, I'm going to take you to St. Mungo's first, Rufus is fully awake, the Order of the Phoenix and the Aurors should visit in batches, I'll take the three of you today. ”
"Good. ”
