Chapter 274: Assassination Plan

"We've already visited the energy supply room, but we can't think of a way to destroy the power supply line. Scrimgeour called the nine remaining Aurors, the two children, and Blake. "But it's not in a hurry, I've thought about it, and the hole card of destroying the energy supply system is reserved for the critical time of the decisive battle. We're going to think of another way to destroy the Horcrux now, and the crown isn't the last Horcrux anyway, so we don't have to rush to destroy it at all. ”

"Well, we're going to split up now to find other Horcruxes. Anna lowered her head and asked, she was younger than Lockhart, and like him, she had never experienced such a fiasco, and she still couldn't believe that the Aurors had gone through a siege that had almost completely wiped out the Aurors, and that the Aurors who were more familiar with her were almost dead, and that she seemed to be devastated and depressed.

"Well, but before we can do that, we have to do one more thing - to announce to the wizarding world that Lockhart at the Ministry of Magic is a fake, that the Ministry of Magic is now under the control of the Death Eaters, and we continue to resist!"

The twelve wizards looked at each other, then focused on Scrimgeour again. Kingsley asked, "How?" ”

"The easiest thing is, of course, to kill that fake Lockhart in public. "It's a bit trickier though, but we're glad we're connected to someone from within the Ministry of Magic now...... Keep an eye on him all the time, now our only advantage is that the enemy is in the dark. The impostor works by the fireplace, but keeps in touch with the informant, and as soon as he leaves the Ministry of Magic, he does it immediately, and leaves as soon as he misses, never giving the mystery man a chance to block us again. ”

"Hermione, is there anything else you can do to help, ...... public opinion"

"Yes, Luna's father, doesn't he have a magazine, visit him in two days, and let him publish some articles about us. "Compared to Anna, who was as dead as a dead face and was extremely depressed. Hermione, on the other hand, looked peachy and radiant, not that she was heartless, and she was sad about so many Auror sacrifices - but the physiological phenomenon of hormone secretion could not be concealed. "And Rita Skeeter......"

"Rita Skeeter doesn't have to be contacted. "While we have a little bit of a handle on her, the Death Eaters can threaten her with their lives...... Without her, the Death Eaters would have found someone else to do the public opinion for them, and we don't have to embarrass her. ”

"Well, well, let's contact the people from the Ministry of Magic and organize an assassination of the fake Lockhart in the next two days," Scrimgeour bowed in satisfaction, "The most important thing is you." Gildero, you must appear in front of people head-on, and show the overwhelming strength of a true anti-dark magic fighter against the impostor, killing him is not the purpose of this operation, you must be loud enough to be seen. ”

"Well, I see...... You just said that I should pretend to be a B in public. ”

"Finally, when the action begins, Harry is going to remove the Occlumency. Make sure that the mystery man is not in the vicinity of the fake Lockhart. Scrimgeour went through the process again, and after thinking about it, it should be fine: "We are twelve divided into three groups, I will bring three, and Gildero, you will take three. And Martin, you also bring three. We'll be here for a few more days, but things have to be packed up and ready to leave, and the assassination must be over in a minute for safety. When the time is up, whether the guy is dead or not, all the apparitions move to the pre-arranged area. Perform the next task. ”

Scrimgeour glanced around at the other eleven and made sure they were all listening: "The next task is to find the power that can destroy the Horcrux in an instant, gather clues about the last missing Horcrux, the Golden Cup, and most importantly, try to enlist the support of as many wizards as possible while keeping yourself safe...... Something, note contact, everyone has me and Lockhart two notes. ”

"Hmm. ”

"Very good, recuperate, do it as soon as the opportunity arises, and stay vigilant at all times!"

――

After the meeting adjourned, Blake called Lockhart to stop. "You can take me and the two children as a group, I only know you well. ”

"Good. Lockhart naturally has no opinion on this, Hermione must be in a group with herself, and it is quite safe to be with the savior, at least Voldemort must be all on Harry when he comes to the door. And as long as Harry doesn't make two mistakes, he doesn't seem to have the passive attribute of killing his teammates.

Lockhart and Scrimgeour had contacted their respective informants, and Arthur had safely hidden the note at home, but had not yet had a chance to send it to Hogwarts, so he had to wait for Ron and Ginny to give it to them on Christmas and let the children pass it on to McGonagall and Hagrid.

Lockhart tells him to keep an eye on the whereabouts of the fake Lockhart, and as soon as he leaves the gate of the Ministry of Magic and runs to a place where there is no protective magic, he immediately informs himself, and Arthur agrees.

――

Twelve wizards waited in the inn where they were hiding, and the fake Lockhart rarely appeared outside of the Ministry of Magic and his own home, but he was also a normal man - in a place like London, he could hardly resist the temptations of the Muggle fancy world. Scrimgour's informant has provided a timeline for the occasional outing of the fake Lockhart, and the assassination plan is complete!

Fake anti-dark arts fighters, in fact, like Lockhart, rarely really participate in the hunt for the Aurors and the Order of the Phoenix who insist on resistance...... His role at the Ministry of Magic was to make an appearance every day, then he could sit in his office and relax, or even sneak out to the bustling part of London.

Lockhart took the time to sneak into the Muggle authorities and found out the addresses of his two older sisters. He was going to visit his two sisters, but he had a whim.

――

"Why are you here. Emma Lockhartβ€”oh no, she should have taken her husband's last name by now, but it didn't matter," looked at him with a frown. "What's the matter?"

"Can't you come if you're fine," Lockhart smiled, hugging her at his sister's surprised gaze, "I miss you, Sister Emma." ”

"Oh...... Gildero. The younger brother, who had not been in touch for many years, suddenly took the initiative to get closer, Emma's expression softened suddenly, although the relationship was a little light, but the family affection was still there, and she also hugged Lockhart. "Did something happen. ”

"No, I just wanted to meet you, I haven't seen you in years. ”

"Come in and sit down, do you want something to drink, remember your favorite unsweetened coffee." She laughed and said, "When I was a kid, I always wondered why you liked to drink bitter things, but my son also liked to drink this...... Boys are weird. ”

"What about your husband and my nephew?"

"One went to work, and the other lived on campus. ”

"Oh......" Lohar nodded, as if there was nothing more to say, the two belonged to two worlds and had little in common. "Is there anything wrong with the child? ”

"You mean you can float things up like you do?" said Emma, pursing her lips and shaking her head, nearly forty years old as she was still as gentle and beautiful as Lockhart remembered. "No, fortunately, no, I don't want my child to become a wizard too, it's not good to be an ordinary person. ”

"yes, it's good to be an ordinary person...... "Lockhart exhaled with deep feeling.

"What's going on in your world?" Emma is the eldest sister, who has been very careful since she was a child, and he noticed Lockhart's abnormality, "Recently, the British government has also been a little abnormal, and there are more strange things in society...... Doesn't the wizard have some kind of secrecy?"

"Nothing, it's good. Lockhart shook his head and pulled out a bag of things, "This is a gift for my nephew, be careful what you do lately, I'm leaving." ”

"Why don't you sit down and have a meal?" Emma was a little surprised, "I have steak at home, don't you love this one the most, I promise it to taste exactly the same as my mother's cooking." ”

"I still have something to do, so it's inconvenient to delay more. Lockhart walked straight to the door, "I'm here to tell you: I love you, sister." ”

――

"What the hell is going on!" Emma's expression suddenly became serious, and her eyebrows were raised.

"War between wizards...... You can't help, if possible, move or travel abroad. Lockhart shook his head again: "But it's unlikely that it will involve you, take care!" With that, ignoring his sister's questioning, the phantom shifts away.

――

The process of meeting the second sister Christine was even more pleasant, because she and Lockhart were only one year old, and they had been playing together since they were sensible, and the two were already intimate, and Gildelow took the initiative to visit, and she was so surprised that she almost cried.

What's more, at Christine's house, Lockhart meets her entire family, her husband and a niece and a niece - both children are very welcoming to the decent-looking uncle who has given them gifts.

But Lockhart discovers that his nine-year-old niece is actually in a magical riot...... This would have been good news, but it was a special time, and her parents were Muggles......

"Did you get a letter from the Ministry of Magic?"

"No, you said Imogen was a witch!" Christine was startled and hugged her daughter tightly in her arms, "Is he going to that Hogwarts too?"

"I was 11 years old. Lohart nodded, "But there's been a lot of going on in the wizarding world lately, like you two ...... It's all Muggles and one child is a witch, which is very troublesome. What month was she born?"

"August. ”

"Then she should receive an offer of admission to Hogwarts before her 11th birthday......" Lockhart frowned, "Maybe sooner, there will be an email from the Ministry of Magic asking her to be reviewed, don't go, just find a way to send her abroad!" She touched Imogin's head and sighed: "Of course, the best outcome is that my camp wins the wizarding war before that......"
