With the long-lost sea breeze blowing in their faces, they returned to the beach where the shell hut was located, and after walking for a while, they reached their destination.

Everyone who could get there was already in the Shell Hut, and the Aurors, representing Scrimgeour and Martin, as well as the remnants of the Order of the Phoenix, filled the halls of the Shell Cottage, and as soon as Lockhart appeared, almost everyone stood up and saluted.

"Honey, you're making us worry to death!" First Fleur, then Harry and Tonks also stood up and hugged Hermione.

"Clever and brave Lady Lockhart, single-handedly resurrected our anti-dark arts fighters!" Tonks ...... Or rather, Madame Lupin looked at them with an adoring expression, "That's enough for you to write a new book, Gildero!"

"I'll write a book for Hermione when I get a chance. Lockhart responded with a smile.

"Why don't you let us resurrect Gildero, Hermione?" said Cyris in annoyance, "Whatever method you use, will we stop or hurt him!"

"I'm sorry to worry everyone. Hermione apologized to the Order of the Phoenix in the house. "But things are going well, except for Gildero's body...... And there was a slight problem with the brain...... Let's not talk about the past. ”

"What's wrong with your brain?" Fleur looked at him worriedly.

"Ahem...... It's nothing, she's a little grumpy. Lockhart explained by wrapping his arm around Hermione.

"It's good to come back safely. Lupin's tone was slightly reproachful. "I almost thought my child's godfather died without even meeting him......"

"What's wrong with you?" asked Scrimgeour as he sat still, calmly. "Resurrected with unicorn blood, is it cursed? I was injured and used a special potion with a tiny amount of unicorn blood, and it took me a long time to recover from the effects of the curse. ”

"Almost, in addition to unicorn blood, I also used some other materials, so my strength has not decreased, but my body has a little problem...... But it doesn't matter. Even Albert arrived, and Lockhart walked to the middle of the room. He and Harry were tapped the shoulders. "Hey, boys, you look pretty good. ”

"You look pretty good, too, Mr. Lockhart. Albert excitedly replied, "Seems younger than before!"

"It seems to have become handsome, too. Tonks put his arms around Lupin and said with a grin, even after becoming a mother, his temper has not changed at all. "Of course, it's still not as handsome as Remus!"

"What's my little godson's name, Teddy?"

"He's so happy with his grandmother......"

"Sit down. Professor Lockhart. Bill pushed out two chairs, "Can you tell me how you came back to life, you...... Did you make one of that?"

"Horcrux!" Harry didn't shy away from the word, "did you do that, wouldn't that turn you into a villain like the mystery man?"

"Do you think I look like a bad person...... It's a long story, I'll tell you later," Lockhart avoided the topic and pulled Hermione to sit down. "I'd love to talk to you about how we've been doing during this time...... But for now, let's talk about the counterattack. Scrimgeour thinks the time is ripe?"

"That's right, if you include the Order of the Phoenix, we have more than thirty wizards to participate in. "But if you attack it head-on." I can't even get through the doors of the Ministry of Magic, so I need more plans - at least I have to destroy the power supply system of the Ministry of Magic, so that the Floo network and protection are disabled, and then I have to use some tricks to divert the Ministry's strikers......"

"Your plan to plant people in the Ministry of Magic has succeeded? Can it come in handy?"

"No, I don't know where the news leaked, the Ministry of Magic is now on higher alert. Scrimgeour's face sank. "My informant has been arrested, and even Arthur and the others have begun to be closely monitored again, and every day the staff of the Ministry of Magic have to go through magic tests at work, and no transformation magic or potion can be fooled...... Strikers and Death Eaters are stationed day and night......"

"Why? Isn't Gildero all dead, and it stands to reason that the Ministry of Magic will be on lower alert. Lupin asked, confused, "We're now very careful about manpower, and it's impossible for any more traitors." ”

"It was true before, and I'm guessing it's your note that's wrong, Gildero. Scrimgeour said, "Did you activate all the notes the other day? We had two Aurors with your notes killed by them...... It must have been the two of them who contacted you that the note was restored to function and then discovered by the Death Eaters, and then someone guessed that you were resurrected, so the Ministry of Magic raised its alert......"

"There's no way, after I die, all the notes will return to their original state, and if I don't see the real thing, it's impossible to make a selection judgment and then activate only your notes accurately, only activate them all...... And then through the Q&A to find out who is who-oh my God, it's good that I didn't say anything to anyone before I was identified, and the Ministry of Magic probably didn't think to put a note on my words......"

"Too careless!" Scrimgeour shook his head, "but I can't blame you, I'm ready to go it alone if you don't activate all the notes." ”

"So what are you going to do now, you say that the Ministry of Magic can't get in, so how can you destroy the energy supply system? Bill asked, "You can't get in without destroying the energy supply, but you can't touch the energy supply system without going in......"

"Let's figure it out—" Lockhart looked at Hermione, "any good ideas?"

"No!" Hermione pouted, undisguised in her frustration.

"That's not all. Kingsley's voice came from the side, he became darker, silent and almost no one could notice him, "Even if we go in, there is no way to destroy the energy supply system, although I haven't seen it, but after Rufus described it to me, I think it's troublesome......"

"I've got a way to do that, we use Muggle weapons...... Lockhart said, "and when we were trying to figure out how to destroy Horcruxes, the professor told me that Muggles have a big bomb called a nuke...... Albert, do you know this?"

"I don't know, but a nuclear bomb should be able to destroy the entire Ministry of Magic and even London......" Albert's eyes widened, "Do you want to use that thing, it's too powerful, it will accidentally injure a lot of people's ......"

"With a little bit, I'll consult a Muggle professional on this point. Hermione, what do you think?"

"I don't know...... I've only seen the power of a nuclear bomb on TV......" Hermione shook her head, also startled by Lockhart's thoughts. "No, it's definitely affected by the Ministry's anti-Muggle spell, it can't be detonated at the Ministry......"

"What, is it amazing?" Tonks asked curiously.

"Well, something amazing. ”

"Are you sure you can destroy the energy supply system?" Scrimgeour didn't know much about the thing. "If it's like a bomb, it's really going to be broken by the magic of the Ministry of Magic......"

"It can be destroyed, it is a weapon of destruction...... "but we are in the same problem as we were just before -- we can't get into it and use a nuclear bomb without destroying the supply, and we can't use it if we destroy the supply......

"Oh...... yes, you can't use Muggle weapons in wizarding colonies......" Lockhart had completely forgotten about that, and his memory was getting worse and worse now. "What can I do then......"

"What are you discussing?" Fleur's eyes widened and she was dazed, she hadn't heard of it.

"How's that secret friend of yours last time?" Lockhart remembered. "Where's the key. ”

"Good, still under my Imperius curse, he doesn't resist. "Because once he is out of the control of the Imperius Curse, he must report to the Ministry of Magic that someone has broken into the energy chamber, or he will break his unbreakable oath."

"I remember, Mr. Scrimthour, you said the energy chamber hasn't been opened in decades!" Hermione said, "It's separate from the Ministry of Magic's building, right?"

"yes, what's wrong?" Scrimgeour looked at her.

"It is written in the "History of Modern Magic" that the anti-nuclear barrier was invented in 1946, and if the energy supply room has not been renovated and transformed after 1946, does that mean that nuclear weapons can be used in it?"

"It seems so, the last time someone broke into the Department of Mysteries was in 1940, when a German spy tried to sabotage the energy supply system, but he was caught by the secret keepers before he even entered the door......" Scrimgeour froze, rubbing the stubble on his chin and rubbing his temples again, trying to remember. "It seems that no wizard has ever entered the energy chamber since, or the door of the Department of Mysteries has never been opened...... But I don't guarantee that they haven't gone in this year to repair and renovate. ”

"The Ministry of Magic won't bother with these things at all after the change of owner, and they are all focused on dealing with the International Wizarding Secrecy Act. Bill said, "Dad told me that the next step for the Ministry of Magic is to make a complete showdown with the wizarding world in other countries, and announce the existence of wizards to the Muggle world, and then start squeezing Muggles......"

"Oh, yes, tell me everything else. ”

"The French Ministry of Magic has begun to contact other European countries to intervene in Britain, presumably by force, and all previous negotiations have failed. Fleur said uncertainly, "This is what my father told me when he wrote to me, and the reason why the British Ministry of Magic has stepped up its security may not be to prevent us, but to prevent wizards from other countries from infiltrating." ”
