Chapter 285: Volunteers from the United States? (Part I)

After some fruitless exchanges, Harry and Cyris left the room. Leaving Hermione in the room to continue to remove the bandage, in fact, the bandage is not necessary at all, under the effect of the phoenix tears, the wound was scarred on the spot, but it was only for fear of cracking that it was wrapped in a layer, and the bandage removed was still white.

"It looks so good, but it's a pity that it was healed by phoenix tears before I had time to use Bai Xian, otherwise I wouldn't even be able to leave a scar. Hermione stroked Lockhart's right chest to the scar under her ribs gently, inch by inch, as if she were stroking her own wand. "But that's fine, it's more manly, Gildero. ”

"Heh-thank you. Lockhart was amused, it was really a lover's eye, and such a thing could be seen to be good. Then keep it, there is a saying that scars are a man's medal, Moody is full of medals, and Lockhart's first medal is the highest medal awarded by the first dark wizard in history, so it's glorious......

Hermione must have been happy, but looking at the almost eight-inch-long scar, the fear of yesterday suddenly came back, and she suddenly hugged Lockhart tightly.

"Shh

"Gildero, when I saw you lying on the ground covered in blood, unable to say a word, yesterday - I was really frightened. Hermione sobbed, "In that moment, all the memories of being with you suddenly became unreal: did you ever put your arms around me and kiss me, did you smile and run your hand through my hair while comforting me that you would marry me, did you ever hold me down and touch me while whispering in my ear to call me a little water...... It all seemed to turn into my insomniac fantasy at midnight when I was thirteen or fourteen years old, and it wasn't until you woke up that I finally confirmed that the memories were real...... I have the sequelae now! I always feel that you are illusory and unreal, and as soon as I get rid of you, you will disappear......"

"Oh, dear, I'm sorryβ€”but," Lockhart said apologetically. He could imagine Hermione really being frightened yesterday. "Ribs hurt, Hermione, don't hug it so tightly. ”

"Oh, I'm sorryβ€”" Hermione let go of her arm as soon as she heard this, tears welling up in her eyes. "Gildero, don't do this in the future, okay? If we can't destroy the Horcruxes, we'll leave England, my parents are in Australia - didn't you say your parents are in the United States, you can go anywhere. - I just want to be with you for the rest of my life, to be held in your arms and let you do anything, and to be pressed and tossed by you to death...... Then I will give you a baby at the most opportune time...... As for the UK, how. I don't care if the mysterious man can live forever!" she put her arms around Lockhart's neck and kissed him on the lips. "Promise me, I'll listen to you for anything in the future, as long as you don't joke with your life anymore. ”

"I'll have to say I'm sorry for scaring you, but you better calm down...... You think that on impulse now, and if you do leave, you will definitely regret it. Lockhart shook his head, "And I'll take revenge on Mad Eye." Manjik must die, but the real damn one is the Mystery Man!"

"I don't have the spur of the moment! If Mad-Eye had a spirit in the sky, he wouldn't want you to die like this!" Hermione said in a fierce tone, "he would-have-"

"He's going to want me to bring all the dark wizards in England to justice. You don't know him!"

"I don't believe it, even if he really wanted toβ€”" Hermione began to cry again. "You're not his son, why should you do what he wants, you want to avenge the dead, but why don't you think about the living!

This argument will not lead to fruition. Lockhart decisively gave up his rebuttal, and he put his right hand around her. "Well, I promise I won't take that risk again. Okay. ”

"I want you to make an unbreakable oath!" Hermione said hysterically.

"Nonsense!" Lockhart was a little annoyed, but decided not to show it, and he decisively lowered his head and gagged Hermione, not giving her a chance to talk nonsense.

"Alright, I'm going to rest as a patient, and I'm not allowed to talk about these topics anymore. Lockhart said. After a long kiss, Hermione's face became as red as if she was drunk, and with Lockhart's request, the prepared bunch of arguments could only rot in her stomach.

"Mr. Lockhart is awake," an unfamiliar male voice came into the tent, and a young man with blond hair lifted the cloth and entered, he looked about as tall as Lockhart, but seemed to be in better shape. "Doesn't it feel okay?"

"Very well, thanks, are you?"

"His name is Albert Terrence, and yesterday when we were on our way to the town to look for a doctor, we met someone from a search party who recognized Harry as he came......" Hermione quickly let go of Lockhart as if she had been burned, and sat on the edge of the bed with her face wiped away her tears. "I'm not a Death Eater or a hitter, but Black and Harry can't deal with that many wizards, and I'm not very useful...... Luckily, he showed up and helped us out. ”

"Oh, thanks. Lockhart nodded at him in thanks.

"Then Albert heard about you, and said that the doctors in the town were not necessarily reliable, and went to the Birmingham Hospital to kidnap a specialist. Hermione said, "The doctor has brought a full set of things, a diet plan for you, and hung up water." ”

"The poor doctor was terrified to see so many 'terrorists' wanted in the Muggle world. Albert smiled and said, "He was just cleaned by me and went back, so you shouldn't need him when you wake up." ”

"Thank you so much, you don't sound like you're British. Lockhart asked curiously.

"He's an American, a top student at Harvard University in history and archaeology, linguistics, English and Chinese and literature, and three disciplines!" Hermione recovered as soon as she said something about learning. Lockhart was introduced to Lockhart with a wistful tone, and judging by her tone, it seemed that this university was a very powerful school in the Muggle world. "I never dreamed of being admitted to Harvard...... It's just amazing!"

"Oh, thank you, Miss Granger. The older boy smiled a little helplessly and said, "Can I introduce myself?"

"Oh, good. Hermione realized she had said too much and kept her mouth shut.

"I grew up in Boston...... To be honest, I didn't know I was a wizard when I was a kid, and my father only later told me that he divorced and moved to the United States after knowing that his mother was a witch - you know, the Ministry of Magic in the United States is less than a hundred years old, and the department is not fully functional...... Coupled with the size of the country, a young wizard like me who lives with my Muggle father, the Ministry of Magic won't even know about my existence until I get into trouble......"

"Why did your father divorce your mother, what's wrong with the witch!" Hermione protested, trying to hide the embarrassment she had just cried.

"The word witch is not a good word among Muggles......" he said helplessly, "my father was terrified...... And my mother kept hiding it from him, which made him very angry. ”

"Understandably, my family is in a similar situation as yours, but my mother managed to put my father on the table...... Anyway, the U.S. Ministry of Magic doesn't even know how many wizards there are?" Lohar nodded, not knowing how his parents were doing in the United States.

"Well, although the management is very chaotic, American wizards also abide by the International Wizarding Secrecy Act, and unlike the United Kingdom, in England wizards must hide themselves, and exposing themselves is punished - while in the United States, although wizards also have the obligation to hide themselves, wizards who consciously abide by the secrecy law will receive a high annual allowance from the Ministry of Magic, which can be exchanged for about 10,000 Galleons. ”

"So good?" said Lockhart, surprised, and to be honest he thought the policymakers were smart. It's unreasonable for people like Lupin and the Weasleys to be reluctant to use magic to get some extra benefits for themselves, even though they are still miserable. To put it bluntly, the British Ministry of Magic is bullying honest wizards, and the officials of the Ministry of Magic still use Muggles to make their lives better, and even they have made their fortune by gray means.

"After all, there is more money and ......fewer wizards in the United States," Albert explained with a smile. "The population of the United States is almost five times that of the United Kingdom, but the number of wizards is about the same, if not less, so that's why we can do that. ”

"Hmm. Lohart nodded, but then became suspicious: "Then why did you come to England and wade into this troubled water?" he couldn't hide the suspicion in his tone, and his inexplicable enthusiasm to help made him have to be cautious. "Don't tell me you're trying to defend the International Wizarding Secrecy Act?"
