"Gildero, Albert got into a fight yesterday with those guys who wanted to catch Harry to collect the bounty......" Hermione also heard the doubt in Lockhart's tone, and quickly excused him. "He also advised us to move here on the outskirts of Birmingham...... If he has malicious intent—"

"Mr. Lockhart, I like to read your book, doesn't your book teach us to draw a sword to help when we see injustice, I am following your teachings......" Albert explained gently, too.

"It's not a grievance. Lockhart said coldly, if it weren't for the wand not being around, he would definitely pull it out first and scan for his memories, at this time, any small betrayal would wipe them out. In order not to put his eggs in one basket, Scrimgeour even divided the people into teams, maybe this guy wanted to put a long line to catch a big fish. If that's the case, now Scrimgeoer, Harry, and himself, all three of them are here......

"Ahem—well, I'll be honest. Seeing that Lockhart's face was not good, Albert quickly confessed: "Here's the thing, no one in the United States told me that I was a wizard, and I had been living like a Muggle...... It wasn't until I was twelve years old that I was separated from him on a trip back to England with my dad......"

"Then I asked a passer-by for help, and he was surprised to ask me why I could see him, and asked me to call the knight bus with my wand or ask the Ministry for help with my alarm magic...... I was confused. In the end, I figured out that I was a wizard and he was an Auror on a mission......" Albert gushed about his experience: "Then with his help, I found my father, and he also contacted the American school of magic and wizardry for me. ”

"Aurors?" Lockhart sneered, how could the Aurors be so easy to encounter, before Voldemort died last time, the Aurors were desperately expanding less than a hundred. "What's your name, you should be in your early twenties, I must know the person you are talking about. ”

"Gadwin Robaz. Albert said with sadness in his tone, "Mr. Scrimgeour said he was dead. Is it true, is it possible that he was caught?"

Anna said she saw Gadwin killed...... She wouldn't talk nonsense. Lockhart didn't let his guard down, "He just helped you find your family, and you're going to avenge him?"

"No...... He once told me that the magic schools in the United States were terrible, so he could help me apply to Hogwarts, but Hogwarts only accepted British and Irish children, although it was not troublesome to get a certificate that I was actually British, but my father disagreed...... I could only go to Newest in the United States. "But I've gotten to know Uncle Gadwin so much that I come to England every summer and winter and stay with him," Albert said. He would teach me some particularly useful wizarding techniques...... His daughter and I also have a very good relationship. ”

"Yes," Lohart nodded, "what does Gadwin look like, what is his wife's name, what is his daughter's name, and where does he live?"

Albert laughed with tears in his eyes: "Mr. Lockhart, you are a real Auror, you asked me all the questions you asked Mr. Scrimgeour yesterday, and they were more detailed than you. If you don't believe me, ask him. I understand that these are extraordinary times, but I really am my own person. ”

Lockhart thought about it, too, with Scrimgeour's temper, there was no way a suspicious person could keep him around. It seems that he is overly worried.

"I'm sorry to doubt you, but to be honest, if you want to help Gadvin, you might as well go to his house and secretly send his wife and mother and daughter out of England. ”

"I've been looking for it. But the ...... have moved away," said the big boy helplessly, "so now I can only help you defeat the enemy and retake the Ministry of Magic." Two days ago, I saw leaflets everywhere and realized that the Lockhart of the Ministry of Magic was a fake. I hated you for betraying the Aurors. I'm so angry that I burned all the books you wrote......"

"Well, it's good to burn...... Lockhart shook his head bitterly as he lay on the bed, not knowing how many young people like him had been poisoned by his books. "But there's one you have to read to the end, and Hermione should take it with you, War Against the Dark Arts. ”

"Ah, yes, I haven't finished reading it yet. Hermione pulled the book out of her pouch, "Would you like to borrow it after you've finished reading?"

"Okay, thanks. Albert said.

"What are you going to do, follow us?" Lockhart asked, "it's dangerous, and I'll chase you away if you don't have the skills." ”

"Of course I want to follow you and protect the savior, he is the last hope, oh of course you, as the best person in the world at dealing with dark magic, also gave me the courage to resist. Albert said with a resolute expression, "We are confident that we will achieve the final victory." Gadwin said that I was a good wizard, and told me that I could go and mix up an Auror in the future when I was bored, and I wouldn't hold back. ”

"I trust his judgment, and your confidence in victory is touching," Lockhart said lightly, "and now I'm going to take a break, and you can go talk to the Savior or Scrimgeur." ”

"That doesn't bother. Albert nodded politely and exited the room.

――

After the boy left, Lockhart lay down again, the wound was almost healed by the combined effect of healing magic and phoenix tears, but the discomfort caused by excessive blood loss remained, and he felt dizzy after sitting and talking a few words.

Hermione sat bored in the chair next to the bed, and simply opened Lockhart's new book, The War Against the Dark Arts, which she had already taken out, and read it with relish. Most of the contents of this book are true, and indeed they can grow a little knowledge, and Lockhart did not stop her, looking at the top of the tent and thinking about what to do next.

The crown must not be touched, and he does not want to die young. But the Horcrux couldn't be destroyed, the Golden Cup couldn't be found, and Harry and Nagini, the two living Horcruxes, couldn't figure out what to do with them. Harry was fine, it was a big deal to send him to Voldemort and give him Avada, and then let Harry ask for more blessings...... But Nagini, with so much protective magic on his body, that the Gryffindor sword that could kill him in seconds could not restrain him...... What to do.

Even if you destroy the Horcruxes, how can you deal with Voldemort, give him the Elder Wand, and then go to him to fight it alone?

Maybe it's really like Hermione said, running away...... But what about Pandora's family under house arrest with Voldemort...... Such a beautiful, gentle and obedient pure-blooded little witch, he is absolutely unwilling to give it to others! But it is absolutely impossible for her to leave her family and run away.

Thinking of abroad, Lockhart suddenly remembered that he could sneak away with a Horcrux, there was no and could not have a Floo network crossing the English Channel, there was no restriction on the purchase of magic materials in other countries, and Voldemort couldn't help him when he destroyed the Horcruxes.

――

"Hermione, don't you rest, see you're not in a good state of mind. ”

"It's not because I was scared by you yesterday that I lost sleep!" Hermione gave her a roll of the eyes, "But you won't be sleepy when you touch the book, you can rest, call me when you're hungry." ”

"Well, you're so nice, Hermione. Lockhart said sincerely.

"Thank you!" Hermione said pretending to be angry, "but please don't send me a good guy card and leave me widowed!"
