Chapter 145: Before Leaving
The semester has finally passed, and all the students and professors have left the school. Lockhart also made his way to the Order of the Phoenix's headquarters after explaining the situation to Dumbledore, where he stayed before leaving. After all, the Order of the Phoenix headquarters is under the protection of the Complete Loyalty Spell, and the Secret Man is the strongest white wizard, so there is no safer place than this.
"So, that prophecy ball is in Dumbledore's hand now?" asked Mundungus, leaning over Erlang's legs and smoking a cigarette.
"That's right, anyway, we did a good job of protecting the Prophecy Orb this time, except for the loss of a member during the vigil at the beginning......" Moody said gruffly.
"What happened not so long ago, you know, the mysterious man showed amazing power, quite scary. Moody said uneasily, "I can see that he is almost at full strength, if not stronger." Albus told us to be more protective of Harry this summer, in pairs. As for you, Mondongues, Albus is very pleased with the information you have provided, allowing you to continue to gather more information about the mysterious man. ”
"That's good. "Mondongues is happy, this is not a difficult job.
Blake nodded: "I have given Harry my two-way mirror, and I will know immediately if there is a situation, the world has become more and more unpeaceful recently, and some wizards have begun to disappear for no reason." ”
"Snape, what's going on with the mystery man. Lupin asked.
The Dark Lord was furious and told all the Death Eaters to figure out what had happened to his wand that day. Snape said unhurriedly, "At the same time, he asked me to find a way to assassinate Mr. Headmaster, but I told him that Dumbledore didn't fully trust me, and I didn't have a chance." ”
"Speaking of which, do you know what Harry did to the mystery man that day?" Tonks asked curiously, "It was a spectacular scene!"
"This question has to be asked to the wand maker. Lockhart interjected, "By the way, the mystery man should also wonder if we should protect Ollivander." ”
"There's no need, Gildero. Professor McGonagall shook her head, "We can't all be protected, and if we save Ollivander this time, the mystery man will suspect that someone among the Death Eaters has leaked secrets, putting Severus in danger." ”
Snape sat there and didn't speak, but nodded approvingly.
"Well, I didn't think it through. ”
"Little Gildero, not only are you not thoughtful, but you also have to pick and choose, how can you take your little girlfriend on a trip at such a time! and go so far away!" Moody reproached Lockhart with dissatisfaction, "I suspect that place can't even contact you with Dumbledore's note!"
"Where is Gilderoy going?" Tonks asked curiously.
"China. ”
"So far!" Tonks exclaimed in surprise, "is it fun there, I've never heard of a wizard going there." ”
"China is not a good place. Moody frowned and said, "According to the relevant documents of the Ministry of Magic, at the beginning of the century, more than a group of wizards were ready to go there to clear the way for the Ministry of Magic, but they all failed, and according to the wizards who returned alive, the Muggles in China ignored our Muggle expulsion charm and anti-Muggle invisibility charm. ”
"Hey, is there such a thing?" Lockhart asked curiously, "Ignoring the Muggle Expulsion Charm and the Anti-Muggle Invisibility Charm, why?"
"I don't know, it's very evil, many wizards are going to go over and make a fortune, but they are killed by Chinese Muggles. Moody shook his head.
"How is it possible," Mundungus disagreed, "those spells are effective for all Muggles, this has long been proven, how can they not work for the Chinese?"
Tonks guessed: "I think those wizards thought that China didn't have a Ministry of Magic, so they messed around in China, and ended up being caught by the hidden Chinese Aurors." ”
"It's an interesting guess, but when the Ministry of Magic sent people over many years ago, there was no trace of the Chinese Ministry of Magic. Moody's MONOCULUS turned to Tonks, "It is said that the current government of China has established an institution similar to the Ministry of Magic, but it does not communicate with wizards from other countries. You'll have to ask someone from the Department of International Magical Exchange and Cooperation. ”
"Then Gideroy is ready to be the ambassador for wizarding exchanges between China and England!" Arthur said happily, "and remember to bring some souvenirs when you come back." ”
"Okay, it's a long way off...... Moody tapped on the table, "where did we just go?" ”
"Ollivander. Lupin reminded.
"Ah, yes. Remus, this task is up to you, and you can go to Ollivander later and ask him if he knows why. It just so happened that you were there and saw the whole process. ”
The note in Lockhart's pocket suddenly trembled: Gildero, when are you coming back?
Lockhart hurriedly replied with magic writing: No problem before school starts.
Dumbledore replied, "I must see you by August 20th."
I owe you this old fellow, so domineering. Lockhart replied somewhat reluctantly.
"I've now rejoined the Aurors, and this summer I'll be taking new people and going out to investigate and arrest suspected Death Eaters as instructed by the Auror department. So, it's up to you to take care of Harry, Siris. Anyway, he is your godson, and you are distressed if something happens. ”
"Hmph! Harry is the child of a member of the Order of the Phoenix, his parents are dead, and we are all his godfathers!
"Hmph, I'm not happy to be Harry's godfather, I'm a woman, and I'm that old!" Tonks was unhappy with Blake's words.
"Be Harry's godsister, hahaha......" Mundungus couldn't help but be happy.
Tonks grabbed something and threw it at Mondongues.
"That's enough!" roared Moody, swinging his staff back at the cup Tonks had thrown over, "You think you'll win by scaring the mystery man away once?
Moody yelled, got up and left the room. Tonks shrugged innocently and looked at Lockhart, "Gildero, when are you leaving?"
"The ticket is three days later, what, are you interested in going together? ”
"No, it's good to be a professor, it's like we won't have a long vacation this year!" Tonks was a little envious, but still said happily, "But remember to bring me a lot of souvenirs and souvenirs, I wish you a happy trip!"
"I want it too, Gildero. Mundungus looked at Lockhart expectantly, "It's better to have something that sells for a good price, gold ornaments or something...... I heard that China is full of gold!"
"You've heard rumors from a hundred years ago, gold everywhere?" Lockhart rolled his eyes, "I'll bring something for each of you, but don't think about gold." ”
"Gildero, I'll go back to the store and take things to Diagon Alley, George and Fred said they were going to open a branch in Diagon Alley, and now they have barely enough money. Lupin stood up and said to Lockhart.
"Well, okay. Lockhart almost forgot that Brother George was graduating right now.
