Judging by the map of the living spots, there was no one else in the Headmaster's office, and Snape seemed to sit quietly behind his desk.

"Philosopher's Stone. Lockhart gave the command, and the door to the headmaster's office opened.

――

The layout of the Headmaster's room has barely changed from Dumbledore's time, the only difference being that the phoenix named Fawkes is no longer there. Lockhart noticed that because of being branded as a dark wizard, Dumbledore's portrait did not hang on the wall as he had done in the past.

"Huh, you're full?" Snape sat in Dumbledore's place, seemingly completely accustomed to this identity, "Very good at picking people." ”

"It doesn't affect the health of the children. Lockhart sat down too, Dumbledore had been the headmaster of Hogwarts since he was born, and it was the first time he had seen someone else sitting in that position, and he had to admit that it felt strange. "I don't drink the blood of the same people in a row. ”

"Do your best, I'll inform the house-elves of the more nutritious food for the students recently. Snape said dismissively, "Just do it cleanly......

"Severus, thank you for the potion, the new body is amazing, not only strong, but also magically friendly. Lockhart stretched. "It would be better if we could survive without sucking blood. ”

"I'll be thankful for you, the flaw of bloodsucking is also your own doing, find a way to get the Philosopher's Stone back. Snape was indifferent to his words, "Now, what's your next step?"

"My plan...... Naturally, I had to figure out how to deal with the last Horcrux first. Lockhart said, "The soul fragments on Harry's body have been removed, and there is still a golden cup and a snake missing. ”

"Potter's soul has been removed?" Snape raised his eyebrows in surprise, not hiding his concern. "Is he alright? ”

"It's fine. "But I hit Nagini with the Death Curse the other day, and it was fine, and this is not the first time that the attack has failed against it, what the hell is going on?"

"It has a strong magical deflection spell on it. It can deflect all spells,...... Snape said, "The magic comes from the Dark Lord, and as long as the Dark Lord's magic is not used, no spell can directly touch Nagini." ”

"Deflection Spell...... Lockhart frowned, "This is too perverted, this method is used for defense, and it requires far more mana than blocking attacks, and only the Dark Lord has this confidence." ”

"Well, of course it's not for nothing, not to mention the mana expended. The Offset Charm is 100% magically shielded, and those who use it can't use their magic to attack people outside in the Offset Charm......," Snape explained, "However, Nagini is an ordinary snake, not a magical creature, it can't magic, and naturally it won't be affected by the side effects of the Offset Charm, it will only bite. ”

"So what to do, do you want to kill the mystery man first and then deal with Nagini?" Lockhart felt his inspiration. "That's right, just find and destroy the Golden Cup, then kill the mysterious man and kill Nagini before he can resurrect him. That's it!"

"Well, perfect plan, I have to applaud the birth of such a plan - three times, not too much. Snape clapped his hands three times unhurriedly. "Then you hurry up and find the golden cup, why are you still sucking the blood of the children here? ”

"The Golden Cup must be in some Death Eater's house," Lockhart had long since become accustomed to Snape's yin and yang weirdness. Unconcerned, he continued, "The process of my resurrection has made me sure that Horcruxes cannot be thrown anywhere and pulled down, but must be in a place where there are living creatures or friends, so that they can be found as soon as they come out. The diary is at Malfoy's house, the ring is in an old house in a village, the crown is at Hogwarts, and the pendant should be placed in a hole full of Yin corpses according to the plan - I guess that maybe the soul can be temporarily attached to the Yin corpse after resurrection to find the next living thing, and the two living Horcruxes themselves are alive Needless to say. ”

"Well, it's a good guess, so these important Death Eaters must have Loyalty Charms in their homes, what are you going to do? ”

"Destroy the Ministry of Magic's energy supply system, disable the Loyalty Charm and Floo Net, and search from house to house. "But then there are too many targets, and I need to narrow them down." ”

"How, let me ask?" Snape looked up at Lockhart, "The most important thing is that you forgot how you died?

"I ...... I feel like I should be able to beat ......," Lockhart said helplessly, "but I always underestimate his strength, and now it stands to reason that I have walked the same path as him, and I should be as strong as him, and with the Elder Wand, I dare not say that I can beat him anymore." He must have strengthened himself by means other than reshaping his body that I didn't know about, right? Despising the enemy is the greatest enemy in itself, as Alastor warned me about when I was younger, but I never took it to heart - until I was slapped in the face again and again. ”

"I haven't fought him, I don't know what he's capable of. Snape said lightly. "It's definitely needless to say that he is strong, his strength has almost formed momentum......"

"It's not momentum, it's the magic in the body that resonates with every bit of magic in the air around it. By the way, as far as you can see, does he need to suck blood?" Lockhart suddenly became curious.

"I don't know—but with his personality, even if he needs to suck blood, he won't let all Death Eaters know. "Even if he sucked blood, it would definitely be less than you need, because he didn't use the cursed unicorn blood in the process of using the resurrection magic, so he didn't have a human form, not even a nose...... As for whether he sucked blood as a baby, I'd have to ask Wormtail or Little Barty, but you know, it's dangerous to ask a question like this all of a sudden, and if they tell the Dark Lord about it, it will be alarming. ”

"Then don't ask, I don't want to put you in danger. Lockhart said without hesitation, "And it's useless to know if he sucks blood, I don't have the ability to let him die without sucking blood." ”

"Don't want to put me in danger...... It's so touching, thank you. Snape's heart warmed, but he stubbornly smiled sarcastically.

"It seems that the mystery man can't get around the hurdle, and no matter what we do, he is firmly in front of us. Lockhart was a little discouraged, "He could even fly over Britain in a matter of hours." ”

"Then we'll think of another way...... "Snape said, "what are the Aurors doing?"

"I guess I'm organizing a counterattack, don't you say I almost forgot that we still have so many helpers......" Lockhart patted his brain, even after regaining his physical body, it seemed that his mind was still not very useful. "Then don't want to kill the mystery man for now, take back the Ministry of Magic first, after all, killing him is not the goal, restoring order in the wizarding world is-"

"No!" Snape suddenly became irritable, "For me, killing him is the goal, the order of the wizarding world is my business!I must deal with him first......" He realized his gaffe, and his tone calmed down.
