Chapter 52: It's over
Daily Prophet headline:
The Ministry of Magic attacked late at night to thwart the Death Eaters conspiracy, and a large number of Death Eaters were killed on the spot.
Cyris Black looked at the newspaper with joy and flipped a page:
The Minister of Magic issued an extinction order, declaring Dementors to be dangerous.
"It's cool, Gildero, I've never been happier after graduation. While eating breakfast, Cyris said to Lockhart, "God, there is actually a special report about Fudge's old fellow, saying that he is a very hidden wizard, with his usual caution and timidity, paralyzing the Death Eaters, and giving the Death Eaters a fatal blow at the critical moment - the old turtle..."
"Ahem," Lockhart coughed to remind Cyreth, who immediately realized Lockhart's relationship with Fudge.
"Hmph, you can't jump out and say that the Minister of Magic is Arthur's pretend, the credit must have been taken by the Minister, I hope he can muster up the courage to stand up to that man now, instead of always having trouble with Dumbledore. Tonks also seems to have a big opinion of the minister.
"Oh my God, I've been out for a few days, and you've made such a big deal. "Lupin, who has just returned, has been in a state of complete shock since he saw the news," looking at the last page, the Minister of Magic said in an interview that the incident showed that the person may indeed have returned, and said that the Ministry of Magic would thoroughly investigate the matter and protect everyone's safety. ”
"It's a good job, if it weren't for the secrecy, I'd really like to put it in the Aurors' standard textbook - the perfect case to attack when the enemy is at its weakest, kill people, and nip hidden dangers in the bud. If we let those Death Eaters escape for a few full meals, pick a handy wand, and bring a bunch of minions with us, I'm afraid we're not a match for doubling our numbers. Moody's also made a rare boast.
"Now you can relax this summer. Remus, are you interested in traveling? Tonks looked at Lupin expectantly.
"Ah, no, you go yourself, I have something else. Lupin replied coldly.
"Remus, what's important to you?" Lockhart put down the hot milk in his hand, and Lupin struggled to explain, "Are you going to help Dumbledore find the Horcrux, or are you going after the mystery man?"
"I..." Lupin just habitually shirked, not thinking about how to deal with the questioning.
"If there is nothing important, then whether it is for the sake of comradeship, or out of respect for a lady, you should promise Tonks. Lockhart said lightly, while Tonks gave Lockhart a grateful look and then looked at Lupin expectantly.
"Uh... Oh well, I promise. ”
"I've got a couple of Muggle travel agency tickets, Muggle book lovers gave me them, maybe you can experience the Muggle way of traveling, have fun. Lockhart threw out two tickets, and he really wanted to see Tonks and Lupin together.
"Oh my God, thank you Gildero, you've thought so thoughtfully," Tonks took the ticket, her hair changing color with joy, and handed one to Lupin, "and that's it." ”
"There's nothing to thank, I took all of you's experiences and wrote a book, and it was given to the fans of this book. Lockhart shrugged, "Werewolves don't have a low appearance rate, I should give Remus some money, but I don't think he will want it with a wand against him." ”
"I won't refuse the manuscript fee if I write that I'm crazy-eyed. Moody stared at Lockhart fiercely with his magic eye.
Just then an owl flew in and delivered a letter from Dumbledore.
Cyreth picked up the letter and read it, "Dumbledore is sure he's found one of that man's Horcruxes!, but he's having trouble trying to destroy it?"
"Dumbledore, old fellow, he said trouble, I'm afraid it's going to be a hard thing to do. "Moody's was a little nervous.
"That's bad news, but I think he should be able to handle it, at least he can write letters. Lockhart's eyes twinkled with a certain light.
"How could Dumbledore come up with the idea of putting the children of the Granger and Weasleys in the Order of the Phoenix? I don't think those kids are up to the task. Cyrith was shocked by the news on the letter, "They are even underage!"
"At least they can be trusted, they're good friends with Harry, so Dumbledore thinks they should know something, they won't be full members of the Order of the Phoenix. Lockhart explained.
"Then why not bring Harry over, he's having a bad time in that Muggle house. Cyris disgruntled.
Lockhart shrugged: "Maybe Dumbledore thinks that in Lily's sister's family, the ability to protect by blood is the strongest, and Harry, as the savior, it is better not to know a qiē." ”
Lockhart stood up: "Alright, I need to go back to my second house first and see my parents, maybe I won't be able to see them again for a few years." ”
"It's the first time I've heard that you have parents, little Gildero. Moody teased.
"You magic eye don't have parents!" Lockhart said angrily.
