Chapter 409: Investigation (3)

Hermione.

She loves to read.

Every time she opens a book, the story comes to her mind like a movie, and she herself seems to become the protagonist of the story. Nervous, happy, and sad as the plot develops.

When she reads Rita's "Witch Love Story", she seems to become one of the witches in the book who marry Muggles, or marry wizards she doesn't likeβ€”the sadness and misery they waste for someone unworthy of love, and the sadness and misery after marriage and even divorce.

After reading it, her already mother-like heart softened again: what a sin it would be if Pandora or Ginny were the other people who could not marry the person they liked because of their own obstruction, and therefore lived happily for the rest of their lives...... She couldn't ignore the others for the pleasure of herself, and it didn't seem unacceptable that Gilderot could make another girl happy just by giving a little bit of his love to others.

If Lockhart had known Hermione's inner thoughts at this time, he would have been made to laugh and cry - he was going to get a book for Pandora to read, but the girl had not relented, and his wife had relented first. I don't know if it's time to say that Hermione is too kind, or if Rita Skeeter's book is too much to her taste.

The book is already a book for everyone, and the publicity effect is almost the same, and the debate about polygamy in the newspapers has gradually decreased in the past two days, although no one has taken the lead in putting it into practice......

Lockhart didn't want to be the first practitioner, and he was ready to wait for the war to be over once and for allβ€”either Voldemort was killed, or the Floo network was restored, and all the Death Eaters were captured or expelled, and no one resisted...... Get Hermione and her parents back, and then have a wedding.

As for weddings, it could be one, it could be two - and the same goes for the bride.

What the hell was Pandora thinking? I gave her such steps...... It seems that he has to do something more, but he can't show his love too openly and romantically, otherwise where will he put the other Hermione who has a private life with him?

Lockhart was distressed. The two Aurors sneaked into the restaurant again. With his sense of magical aura, Lockhart could recognize them at a glance, but this was the same as Moody's recognition of himself with his magic eye, and it could not be regarded as a regular means - but on the basis of recognizing them, he could always see some flaws in them.

Seconds later, the two young men were standing at Lockhart and Hermione's table again.

This scene baffled the Muggles who were eating next to them, and they all wondered what kind of big man Lockhart was here, otherwise why would anyone always come and stand here to listen to him!

"It's not a big problem on the clothes, but the expression is still unnatural, and the standing posture is too right. You are an Auror, not a soldier!See, this is a mid-to-high-end restaurant, you are here to enjoy the food, why are you serious?" Lockhart slowly chewed the food in his mouth and said: "There is another misunderstanding, I did say that let the two of you mix into the restaurant and eat with us on the first floor, but why do you two have to come in at the same time, you can mix in separate batches!"

"yes!" Ron slapped Harry on the thigh.

"Forget it, they've been tossing for a long time. Let's sit down and eat first. Hermione watched her two friends go in and out of frustration, and she habitually felt distressed again.

"Okay, let's sit down for dinner today, and then I'll reflect on it when I go back in the afternoon. Why are there so many problems? Hermione's words always worked, and Lockhart was ready to let them go for the time being.

"I can finally rest......" The two breathed a sigh of relief, no longer as confident as they had been at the beginning. "It's hard to be an Auror. ”

"The most awesome Aurors have infiltrated Germany to help them free the hostages, and you're still here struggling with how to disguise yourself. Lockhart gave them a small taunt: "Let's order." You can eat whatever you want, and I'm in for a treat. ”

France and Germany, before World War II, had wizarding power that was no weaker than that of England. However, the elite wizarding forces of the French Ministry of Magic were lost in the early stages of World War II through several ambushes by German wizards and the fierce battles that followed. The German wizards were devastated by the combined attacks of the Russian and British wizards - far more traumatic than the English Aurors were surrounded by the Death Eaters, after all, the latter was only the entire army in office, and the German and French were all exhausted from the management to the reserve wizards...... Neither country can afford to organize an elite and well-trained wizarding organization like the Aurors in the same way that the British do.

Martin and a few Aurors were in a no-man's land in Germany, and easily directed another big news: British wizards entered the country without permission to rescue the family of the German Minister of Magic, and then arrested the wandering Death Eaters, who had already left the land before the Germans could react.

This is a naked slap in the face, and the German wizarding community is boiling: on the one hand, it is to protest against the illegal behavior of the British wizards, but the other side does rescue the family of the Minister of Magic, which makes most people speechless; so public opinion turns to question the strength of the Ministry of Magic in their own country, why can the British Aurors rescue the hostages, but the wizards of their own country can only pitifully beg the British to release the gangster's accomplices? Can such a Ministry of Magic protect its own people?

Both countries are mired in serious internal public opinion squabbles, and they can't bother Lockhart anymore for a while.

He was naturally very satisfied with this, the Aurors were such a worry-free organization, and they were completely worthy of the immunity and high welfare benefits granted to them by the English Wizarding Law.

There was also good news from Hogwarts, the pregnant unicorn had finally been born, and it seemed that in return for Lockhart's policy care, the horses took it very seriously, and after collecting the cord blood, they passed it on to Hagrid. Lockhart asks Hagrid to give Snape the blood, and after examination, the secret of the Philosopher's Stone is finally revealed - the "unicorn blood without the curse" is their umbilical cord blood, which contains a special substance that can consume the mother's magic to prevent the hatchlings from being cursed!

The work of purifying this substance will take place after the establishment of the Wizarding Research Institute of the Department of Mysteries, and now Lockhart just wants to get the finished Philosopher's Stone as soon as possible, those two old fellows in China are already threatening him with strikes, and if they run away, Lockhart will not have the confidence to deal with Voldemort alone!

There is not much left of the semi-finished Philosopher's Stone, but with the Ministry of Magic open to supply all resources, it only takes a few days for the genuine Philosopher's Stone to be baked.
