"Vivien, I remember you were a kind girl," Lockhart suspected she was under the Imperius Curse, but upon examination, she was conscious. "And you're a Ravenclaw, why would you join the Death Eaters?"

"What kind of logic are you? I'm kind so I can't be a Death Eater? I made a deliberate decision to support Mr. Voldemort's cause! You're just stubborn old-fashioned!" The witch trembled at Lockhart's killing frenzy, but didn't beg for mercy, "and you're just a pretty old-fashioned one!"

"What cause do you support him?" Lockhart amused, brainwashed? "Exterminate Muggles?"

"Mr. Voldemort wants to purify the wizarding world! Sooner or later, you will see that what Mr. Voldemort does can make the wizarding world develop for a longer period of time, and he can build a clean and orderly world. Then, share the secret of eternal life with everyone. ”

"Huh, a world full of pure-blood wizards is clean?kill everyone who opposes it, and then claim that it's an orderly world?The most incredible thing is that you still believe that person can live forever?" Lockhart said disdainfully, "Tell you, we, the Order of the Phoenix, are pulling that person away from his dream of eternal life, and now we are only one step away!"

"You villains!" Vivien scolded angrily, "You must be jealous that you will not get eternal life and will not let others live well!"

"How do you know that man can really live forever?, and do you know how evil his method of trying to achieve immortality is, which requires murder!" Lockhart explained helplessly, "splitting his own soul to get multiple chances to live!"

"Lies! Dumbledore told you that Voldemort was evil, and you didn't hesitate to believe it, without the slightest suspicion that he might be lying to you. You say that other people are evil, but look at what you are doing, you killed a dozen people today, not only the Death Eaters, but also your wife and children?"

"But when the Death Eaters were in power. More people are killed. Lockhart said lightly, "And they are all innocent people, who don't want to resist at all, I'm enforcing the law." Execute these evil murderers. ”

"Law enforcement?" Vivien sneered, "When did the wizarding law allow the execution of wizards on the spot?"

"They violently resisted arrest. Lockhart said with an unchanging face, as long as he insisted on this point and did not let go, no one could do anything to him. "And it's just a bunch of evil wizards, and I'm the one who killed them is really purifying the wizarding world. ”

"Self-righteous. Is it up to you to decide whether it is evil or not?" the witch retorted disdainfully, "Oh, by the way, you are now the Minister of Magic, the head of the victorious side, and you really have the final say. ”

"If killing Muggles and persecuting hemp wizards is not evil, then what is evil?"

"It's not like that. What we do is make smaller sacrifices to maintain the prosperity and stability of the entire wizarding world! The deaths of those people are necessary. "The Death Eaters are still arguing.

"How do I think what I'm doing now is to use smaller killings to maintain the prosperity and stability of the wizarding world as a whole?" Lockhart said disapprovingly, realizing that he couldn't convince the stupid woman anymore, and gave up arguing. "You need brainwashing, darling. ”

"You can't kill anymore, all the Death Eaters have received the news and have all left their homes. Vivien's wand had been confiscated and the man had fallen to the ground. But he held his head high and watched Lockhart walk towards her step by step, like a martyr who had generously died.

Lockhart just thought it was funny, what did a normal girl go through after graduation. Become such a superb Death Eater?

He stuned Vivien with a flick of his staff, grabbed her and sucked her blood, and led her back to the Ministry of Magic. When the war is over, I'm sure she'll figure it out, so let's lock it up for now.

――

The Death Eater families around London have all been "searched" by Lockhart, and what Vivien said should be true. His actions have been known to all the Death Eaters, and now the remaining Death Eaters are probably leaving their homes.

The perfect course of action would be to send sixteen groups of men to search each of the sixteen Death Eater families protected by the Curse of Bravery, but this idea is unrealistic at this time. Since the raid didn't find the Horcrux, there's no doubt that even if it was in the home of a Death Eater, it's now protected.

The only way to do it is to kill all the Death Eaters that Voldemort trusted and know the magic of resurrection, Barty Jr. is dead, but Peter and the others are still at large...... All of these Death Eaters must be killed to ensure that no one will resurrect Voldemort after defeating or killing him......

――

The idea is clear, but until the Ministry of Magic's energy supply system is repaired and the Aurors and Strikers team is expanded, both the Order of the Phoenix and the Ministry of Magic can only take the defensive and cannot take the initiative to attack.

And Voldemort, I don't know if he knew that Lockhart had found a powerful helper to take charge, or if he was brewing some new conspiracy, but he never came forward.

It was during this boring time that the new wizarding law was introduced. The New Wizarding Law 98 Edition has made a lot of changes and changes to the framework of the previous Wizarding Law, among which the changes related to Lockhart are as follows:

The Ministry of Magic is nominally part of the British government, and every wizard must register his or her identity with the Ministry of Magic and the Muggle world, and law-abiding wizards are rewarded with a hundred Galleons per month on top of all the benefits of British Muggle citizenship. Lockhart's first idea was 10,000 Galleons a year, but this figure was obviously a bit outrageously large and unacceptable to the Muggle representatives, so it was changed to a basic living allowance plus the normal benefits of British Muggle citizens, which would definitely allow wizards to live well even if they didn't do anything.

The new wizarding laws stated in writing that wizards and Muggles were equal, that marriages between the parties were protected, and that blatant discrimination against Muggles or Muggle-born wizards would be condemned and even punished.

The Ministry of Magic was determined to control Muggle discrimination at its roots, but there was a very discordant exception to the Code: two or more women could marry the same person, i.e. polygamy was legal. Although it is not specified that a man or a woman must be a wizard, polygamy is illegal in the Muggle world, meaning that it is equivalent to saying that wizards can be polygamous......

Such an obviously unreasonable law certainly aroused the opposition of many conservative Wizengamot members, but the new members of the Order of the Phoenix and the Aurors knew that this was actually a benefit that Lockhart had given himself, and most of them, plus Muggle and Centaur representatives, had privately agreed to Lockhart's support for the law. But these people, plus Lockhart himself, are still less than two-thirds of the prescribed number.

Not only did this rule have little to do with most people, but it also had little serious conflict of principles and interests with almost all of its opponents (all old fellows), and it barely survived after Lockhart's coercion and promise that it would be repealed in a few years.

――

In addition to polygamy, there was also a Death Eater law that was retained: all young wizards of school age were no longer willing to attend school after receiving an offer of admission to Hogwarts, but had to report to school, and tuition fees were funded by the Ministry of Magic instead of their original self-finance. Lockhart believes that standardized education will greatly reduce the number of illiterate and wandering wizards, and help reduce the crime rate of wizards.

The education of young wizards before the age of eleven is no longer solved by their parents, and they can choose to go to primary school with Muggles like Hermione like a Muggle, or they can go to the wizarding elementary school specially established by the Ministry of Magic, but neither will advance the education of magic, and learning magic can only begin when wizards reach the age of eleven and get their first wand to Hogwarts.

――

Half of the Forbidden Forest next to Hogwarts became Centaur territory, which Lockhart had promised before, and it passed without incident. Of course, the Centaur territory does not mean that wizards are not allowed to enter it, but wizards are not allowed to hunt, camp, or engage in sabotage activities such as felling in it. Centaurs have equal legal status with wizards - that is, attacking or killing centaurs is the same crime as doing so against wizards or Muggles.

The new wizarding law has also become more stringent in terms of penalties for criminal wizards, and even expands the scope of the death penalty. Lockhart believes that whether or not to enforce specific cases can be discussed in detail, but the law must at least have a sufficient deterrent effect.

These are all of the laws that Lockhart was directly involved in making changes to, and many other less dramatic changes are not mentioned.

There is also a small new rule worth mentioning: house-elves are no longer the private property of wizards, and wizards are required to pay a salary for their services. Contrary to what had been expected, Lockhart's rule, which was purely designed to curry favor with Hermione, was passed almost unanimously without much discussion. He thought about it and understood the reason - the more than fifty wizards or non-wizards who participated in the legislation, except for himself, few had house-elves at home......

――

Pandora, who has been hiding in her French sister's house for more than half a year, has tried to get information about the English Wizarding Civil War through all channels, but found only bad news. Countless times she couldn't hold back and wanted to go back to England, but reason told her that if she went back, she would only be caught by the Death Eaters, and she could only cause trouble for Lockhart.

Now that she finally heard that Lockhart had led the Order of the Phoenix and the Aurors to retake the Ministry of Magic, she couldn't bear it, and she was anxious to ask her sister to get her a plane ticket - she wouldn't buy it herself. Lockhart naturally received the news, if you want to go back, go back, do a good job of secrecy, and then take a plane directly to London Siathrow Airport, and pick it up yourself, what can go wrong.
