"But when the time comes, almost all of the Order of the Phoenix will come, what if your Death Eaters are too unbearable to hold even a few of them, and they all come to you?" Lockhart shook his head, "I don't want to take any unnecessary risks right now, the safer the better......"

"It's also a risk for you to tell her about it. Snape said dissatisfiedly, "She doesn't know Occlumency." ”

"I will, just not as proficient as you. "If what you say is true, I'm going to keep it closed from now on." But it's not that I'm underestimating, and there's not a single Death Eater at Hogwarts who can take care of me—"

"It's good that you know alone, when Harry comes in with the Order of the Phoenix, you jump out and fight Severus, and he'll leave the school in defeat......"

"It's a big deal. McGonagall said, "Can't you just leave?" ”

"We don't know if there are any hidden Death Eaters among the students at the school, and Severus must be told to fight before leaving—" Lockhart explained, "Severus told me that the Dark Lord forbade him to leave the school. ”

"Yes, when I leave school, I'm going to join forces with Gilderory and bring the Dark Lord in against him......," Snape said, "and the Dark Lord hates that his men don't obey orders, even if it's wrong or for some reason...... So I can't do anything to resist his orders until I've turned the other cheek completely, and I have to remain in a state of trust with him - so, just know about it yourself, Minerva, don't tell anyone, there are so many people in the school, and the more people who know, the more dangerous I become. ”

"What do you want to do with the mystery man?" McGonagall, though still vigilant, believed most of it: even if Lockhart's strength hadn't changed in the six months since he had escaped from school, it would be easy for him and Snape to deal with her, and there was no need to make up this bunch of nonsense to try to paralyze her.

"We're going to discuss the details, and you can help us check to see if there are any loopholes or areas for improvement. Lockhart said that he could have asked Hermione to help with the idea, but she went crazy when she heard that she was going to deal with the mystery man.

"I don't know what he has planned. Snape turned to look at Lockhart.

"The plan is roughly the same as your thinking. Lockhart said. "The only change is that I've embedded it in a bigger plan. The Order of the Phoenix took Hogwarts on the night of the 30th, and the Ministry of Magic should have reacted immediately, but not overnight - after all, we had Slytherin students as hostages, and as long as Harry didn't show his head in front of them, they shouldn't be desperately attacking right away. That's why I told Harry not to show up right away, until the professors and students and even the elves needed to come out and guard the school. ”

"I see what you mean. McGonagall said, "I won't let Harry appear in front of everyone until the Death Eater army starts attacking Hogwarts." ”

"And after Severus is 'driven away' by you, he will pick a place with me away from Hogwarts and the Ministry of Magic. There inform the mysterious man that the savior has been caught by him—"

"So that's another reason why Harry can't be in front of people right away?" McGonagall immediately understood.

"That's right, once we've lured the mystery man over, we'll figure out how to deal with the snake named Nagini in his last two Horcruxes—if he's really always had it with him, as Seaver said. "And then maybe even fight him......"

"It's the same as what I said before, there are a lot of things you haven't explained yet - how to get out if we can't beat us, whether to set some traps......"

"We'll talk about it, the dagger is still there. Give it to me first. Lockhar nodded, "When the time comes, I'll be like Harry, pretending to be subdued by Severus, and what Severus has to do - is to convince the mystery man." Don't just kill me, but let that snake bite me. ”

"Biting you?" McGonagall couldn't understand, "what does this have to do with destroying Horcruxes?"

"You have to get close to that snake to attack it, spells don't work against it. ”

"The Dark Lord is in a good mood. It's going to be good to talk......" Snape said with a frown as he opened a drawer on his desk, "but it's precarious." To sum it up, it's moody. ”

"His impermanence makes him impermanent, and I will accompany you this time to meet your willful requirements. Lockhart didn't care, "We have you to do the internal response, and there are many safer ways to lure the mysterious man away on the first of May, such as luring him to a foreign country or something, but we chose the most risky one: to count with him." If he doesn't let the snake bite me as he envisioned, then he will start the fight directly, and if he can beat it, he will be crippled and killed, and if he can't beat it, it will drag on until 8:59, or even 59 seconds, and the phantom will shift away. ”

"At this critical moment, he won't chase anyone abroad...... And if he couldn't deal with him, he would have called on many Death Eaters to kill them - you see, when the Dark Lord seized the Ministry of Magic, he was counting with Dumbledore. Snape pulled out the dagger from under a pile of things in a drawer and threw it over, "Why eight fifty-nine, does this time mean anything special?"

"That's what they dared to do with the Ministry's defenses in ambush and promise to defeat Dumbledore...... What would have happened if Dumbledore had defeated the Dark Lord in that battle?" Lockhart asked, raising his hand to catch the dagger. "And the reason why it has to be 8:59 is because the energy supply system of the Ministry of Magic will be cut off on time at nine o'clock, and if the two of us can't defeat the mysterious person, and can't leave the phantom before this point in time, then we can't escape, and we can only die heroically. ”

"But why do you two have to deal with the mysterious man, can't you work together? McGonagall asked, "How can we help—"

"We don't have enough people. Lockhart explained. "All the members of the Order of the Phoenix, plus a large number of helpers, seem to be powerful, but the average strength is not strong, and only relying on the school can contain a large number of Death Eaters and hitters, plus me and Seaver to lure away the mysterious man. All this is to ensure that in the third and more important place, the battlefield of attacking the Ministry of Magic, our Aurors can be in an absolute position of numerical and qualitative superiority, and quickly take the Ministry of Magic in a short time. ”

"The Dark Lord appears on either Hogwarts or the Ministry of Magic, and the consequences are deadly. "Gildero's plan should be that the battle for the Ministry of Magic ends quickly...... When the news reached the strikers who attacked Hogwarts, the group quickly lost their will to fight. Only the Death Eaters were left to resist. But if the Dark Lord appears on the battlefield, it will boost the morale of the enemy, and if it is not for the particularly determined Phoenix Order and Aurors on our side, they will not be able to exert their full strength due to fear. ”

"That's right, the mystery man does have such deterrence and prestige, I don't. Lockhart said, "Dumbledore was the only one in the world who had defeated him, and Harry had killed him once, but he had not shown the power of a savior in the next few battles against the mysterious man." All of them barely escaped under the cover of others—"

"If you can defeat him in front of everyone, you will instantly have more prestige than him. McGonagall said.

"The point is that we can't guarantee that we can defeat him, even the mystery man himself...... Obviously stronger than Dumbledore, when he was determined to deal with Dumbledore, he also dared to do it when he set a trap in the Ministry of Magic......" Lockhart shook his head, "In the past two years, every time I make a judgment like 'how many people should be able to deal with him' or 'I should be able to deal with him this time', he will immediately jump out and punch me in the face. Mad Eye...... Even for a similar misjudgment, more than twenty Aurors, including his own, were killed. So, since the last time I was 'killed', I've sworn by it. There is absolutely no such idea anymore. Lockhart clenched his fists secretly. "Severus thinks I'm about the same strength as the mystery man right now, but I have to assume he has some back-up to chance. At the same time, my strength is suddenly increasing, both in terms of combat skills and hole cards. There's no better than him—"

"You can set some traps in the ambush spot. ”

"I used to think so, but when I get to the current realm of the mysterious man and me, the wizard's perception of magic fluctuations and dangers will be extremely keen, and there will only be movements without hostility and any magic power. will be a successful sneak attack-" Lockhart did not have any prejudgment before, whether he was suddenly grabbed by Zhang Jianshuo's arm or hugged by Ginny. Simply because neither of them is hostile and does not use magic. "The mystery man doesn't have the same reason as Dumbledore to fight, with his temper, if he finds something wrong, he will definitely leave in an instant, and what does it look like if there is no hostility and magic fluctuations...... I really can't imagine that although I knew that a Muggle might have a weapon powerful enough to kill him, the consequences would be too great...... Not as an option at this time. ”

"Well, Professor McGonagall, do you have any other suggestions? Snape asked.

"Severus was kicked out of Hogwarts by me, and then caught the Savior on the way out? McGonagall relaxed, and even the name of Snape changed.

Indeed, this is the only possible flaw in this plan. "But I don't have a better idea, do you have any good ideas?" ”

"You can start somewhere else, disguised as Harry, and let the other Death Eaters find out—" McGonagall frowned, the stripes on her forehead straightened. "And Severus, after escaping Hogwarts, ran to that place and captured the Savior......"

"Seems like a good idea, I'm worried about what to do if the Mystery Man himself comes to attack the school as soon as the Order of the Phoenix takes over the school......," Lockhart said, "Let's pick a place first, and I'll go there to spread some news of the Savior's activities and get the mystery man's attention - and then when you leave Hogwarts, go to the place we agreed to near there, catch me, and summon the Mystery Man." ”

"Okay, let's pick a place. Snape took the map out of the drawer again, opened it and let it float in the air. "There are two options to get away from London and Hogwarts, the middle of the two is near Manchester, or the northernmost part of Scotland-"
