Chapter 419: A Chance to Win
"Professor, did you change your mind when you looked at me like that when you were eating just now?" Lockhart hadn't thought about what to do at night, but Ginny sent it to the door herself: "Let's get along first?"
It seems that because Lockhart knows his details, Ginny is now too lazy to pretend in front of him, and simply shows all her personality - only if you can attract men with your original appearance, it is considered a skill.
Lockhart shook his head irritably: "Don't mess with Ginny, something big has happened, now you let me suck blood first-"
"Don't suck it unless you promise me!"
"Then you go. Lockhart was equally resolute.
"Forget it, suck it for you!" Ginny stomped her foot and grabbed her, "Why are you like this, just thinking about asking for some benefits!"
"Good girl, really sensible. Lockhart smiled and pulled her into the corner, holding her shoulder and carefully sucking a few mouthfuls of blood.
Ginny took the opportunity to put her arms around his neck, enjoying the intimacy she hadn't had since recovering from the aphrodisiac.
Having healed the little witch's wounds, Lockhart patted her on the back, "Thank you, Ginny, go back to your room." β
"What's the hurry, it's only eight o'clock, it's still early to go to bed, talk for a while, Hermione won't look for you!" The girl put her arms around his neck this time, "You said something big happened, what is it, I see that you can't give up." β
Lockhart couldn't push Ginny away at the moment and leave, he couldn't do such a thing as wiping his mouth clean and turning his face...... Anyway, Ginny already knew about him as a vampire, and it didn't hurt to tell her.
"Here's the thing...... I was resurrected in the exact same way as Voldemort, you know. β
"Yes. β
"This method will greatly improve the strength ......"
Lockhart told Ginny about the ransacking of Potions Manor and his speculations about it.
ββ
"Why don't you say it, let's come up with ideas together!" Ginny rarely hugged Lockhart without being disliked, her mind was spinning fast, and she tried her best to delay time.
"It's just my guess...... Severus and I had already discussed it, and now we don't know anything about each other: where they are. Are the herbs ready, and what is the progress of Horcrux crafting...... I don't even know if I'm right or not. In addition to being vigilant, there may not be a good way to discuss it - the most important thing is that with the strength of the resurrected, most wizards in the world cannot participate in this level of battle. β
Lockhart also happened to be a little bit of a confiding ** at the moment - seeing that Hermione had a good time these two days, he didn't want to tell her to make her worry, Ginny, a heartless girl, didn't care: "In the Order of the Phoenix, I'm afraid only two people, Cyreth and Severus, have the strength to fight the resurrected head-on, and they are still two to fight one ......"
"That's amazing. Bomb them with people, bomb them!" Ginny stuck to Lockhart, rambling casually.
"It's unlikely to be a nuclear bomb, kill them with people? If it's two or three, then it's better to say, if it's ten or eight?" Lockhart said helplessly, "Not everyone is willing to fight hard, the Ministry of Magic now has more than two hundred combatants, and a resurrected person may be able to deal with him with ten Aurors or twenty strikers, and kill him with half of the casualties - but people are not machines." If the enemy is too strong and the casualties are too great, morale will collapse and someone will flee......"
"I'm not a machine either, why don't you take care of my feelings. You only think of me when you want to suck blood!"
"Who is talking to you about this......" Lockhart frowned: "Okay, now that the matter has been told to you, don't talk nonsense with them, I'll let the Aurors see the situation first...... Make a decision again. β
"Whoa...... Hold your horses. I. I'll help you figure it out!" Ginny put her arm around Lockhart.
"Hey, what ideas can you come up with, coming up with ideas is Hermione's forte, okay? Lockhart smiled, "Okay. Go back to bed, and your mom will make a fuss later if she finds out you're not in the room. β
"Cut, don't look down on people, see me pay attention to you!" Ginny said angrily: "You just said that Voldemort wants every Death Eater and even their family to make Horcruxes, and you said that it is very dangerous to make Horcruxes, so you haven't thought about whether those people are willing?"
Lockhart was awakened: yes, he subconsciously thought that Voldemort's men would listen to him...... But not every Death Eater follows Voldemort in pursuit of power, most of them are still for profit, so there must be someone who is not willing to take risks for this kind of strength increase!
"If you don't want to, Voldemort will force them too. β
"So many people, how can they all be forced to do it, and even if they make Horcruxes, they must be in batches, they can't make Horcruxes together, and then commit suicide at the same time when they are more than half dead, and wait for resurrection, could it be that Voldemort personally boiled medicine for them?"
"It's kind of interesting, tell me what you think. Lockhart wondered, "What are we going to do with this group of people who don't want to take risks?" β
"Don't you have a lot of people in prison, try it quickly, sentence it lightly - the lighter the better, and then look at the Death Eaters outside: it's okay to be caught. In this way, there must be people who want to turn themselves in. Ginny said, "The people around the mystery man must have watched the news too...... Justβ"
"Seems like a good idea, as long as one of the Death Eaters hiding with Voldemort escapes, we'll know where they're hiding!" Lockhart slapped Ginny on the back with a thigh - ah no. "I'll do this tomorrow first, and then immediately restart Floo.com, good girl, I really have a good idea......"
"Hmph-" Ginny was a little smug: "I dare to say, as long as the mysterious people don't control those Death Eaters one by one with the Imperius Curse, there will definitely be people who run out like desperately, and who can protect these deserters, of course it's you White Lord!"
"Hopefully, well, go back to sleep!" Lockhart grabbed Ginny's arm around his neck, trying to untie it.
"I gave you such a great idea, will you marry me?" Ginny looked at him expectantly, "Queen Weasley and the White Lord." β
"These two things have a relationship with Mao, and the two kings are both nicknames......"
"Uh-" Lockhart pushed her to her room, and Ginny struggled to give in, "Kiss me." β
Lockhart put his arm around Ginny and kissed her on the cheek.
"That's it, you're a little kid like Gabrielle!" Ginny was dissatisfied: "Kiss!
"Don't get too late, go back quickly!" Lockhart ignored him and went back to his room.
ββ
The trials of the Death Eaters in custody began quickly, and more than 30 were acquitted, a dozen were imprisoned for half a year, and more than 40 were imprisoned for more than one year, and the heaviest punishment was five years' imprisonment......
Public opinion is boiling again - this time, most people feel that the punishment is too light.
The Ministry of Magic responded: the intention was to get the Death Eaters who were still on the run to turn themselves in as soon as possible, and that the punishment for those who surrendered would only be lighter, not heavier.
Lockhart then continued to urge the Department of Transportation to restore the Floo network as soon as possible.
ββ
Ollivander, the famous British wand maker, had no idea: he had just escaped from the clutches of the British Dark Lord and met the German Dark Lord again, who in his opinion, had just picked out two similar wands for a mysterious wizard who was personally accompanied by the Minister of Magic.
Lockhart and Grindelwald had a sparring outside of London, and Lockhart was shocked by the power of the former Dark Lord - fifty years of imprisonment did not seem to have affected the old man's ability to duel as a wizard, and the spells he used in battle, as well as the skill he used to use magic, completely crushed him.
In this regard, Lockhart's solution is also very simple: with the overwhelming advantage of magic affinity, he seized control of nearly seventy percent of the magic power of the duel location, so that Grindelwald could not threaten himself at all without the forbidden spell, and all his skills became a showcase. After a while, the former Dark Lord felt bored and took the initiative to admit defeat.
Grindelwald is really strong...... If he is also asked to make a Horcrux, and then use resurrection to enhance his strength, and then get the Elder's Wand, I am afraid that the two Voldemorts are not his opponents, and he is the deserved number one dark wizard!
Compared to him, Voldemort is simply a nouveau riche with shit luck......
Grindelwald didn't know that Lockhart had become stronger by resurrection, and after losing the battle, he was convinced for a while, and even called himself old, and the world was young - this made the White Lord secretly call for luck, and he was even more determined to let the old man help deal with Voldemort, and never tell him the mystery of resurrection magic.
With the help of such a strong man, Lockhart suddenly felt that the resurrected were not so terrifying, and now it only depends on whether Ginny's idea can work after the Floo network is connected......
