"After the above is done, we need to reconnect with some acquaintances who work in the Ministry of Magic - there are not so many Death Eaters who can manage the wizarding world well, so we can guess," Scrimgeour was a little thirsty, picked up the iron box and took a sip of hot soup, "We can guess that the Death Eaters are not going to replace all the employees of the Ministry of Magic, they just need to replace the senior officials of the Ministry of Magic with their own people, and then use the original team to promote their theory of pure-blood supremacy, Muggles should be enslaved, and so on." ”

"What Rufus means is that the people who put us in the Ministry of Magic are the same as the Death Eaters overthrew our Ministry of Magic - the only difference is that the people who are helping us now are moles in the Ministry of Magic......" Moody explained Scrimgeour for help.

"That's right, that's what I mean, and we need to protect the 'Savior', although I don't believe in prophecy, but I know that it is a serious prophecy, and with its help, we will have a better chance of success. ”

"But, in your plan, the Aurors here don't seem to have a mission?" Hermione spotted a key question.

"Miss Granger is very responsive!" Scrimgeour squeezed a smile out of Hermione, smart people like it. "That's right, the Aurors here, after destroying the Horcruxes and successfully exposing the Death Eaters' plot to the wizarding world, are going to break into pieces and go into hiding - until our own people at the Ministry of Magic think we can take it back, or - our Mr. Savior has grown to the point where he can stand up to the Mysteries, as prophesied. Of course, instead of asking you to hide and wait for notice, we will divide into several groups and try to find the remaining Horcruxes of the mysterious person, and if you find or find clues, you will notify him of the note sent to you by Guò Alasto, and then work together to find a way. ”

"That's right, now that we've ruined the crown, we're just one last gold cup away. Moody pulled out his wand, which deftly drew lines under his rough, scarred hand, and he sketched the pattern of the golden cup in the air, "Hufflepuff's golden cup, if you find it again, destroy it, and find a way to kill the mysterious man's pet snake - he can be killed." ”

"At that time, I will also gather everyone again to organize an assassination operation against the mysterious person...... As long as he is killed, it is not difficult to reclaim the Ministry of Magic, but it has gone from a difficult problem of success to a matter of time. ”

"Why don't you just find a way to assassinate the mysterious man, his resurrection always takes time, and I don't believe he can be resurrected before we retake the Ministry of Magic. Puzzled, Dawlis asked, "Didn't it take more than ten years for him to last resurrect him?" ”

"It didn't take more than ten years, it took more than ten years to get the chance to be resurrected. Lockhart shook his head, "With this lesson, he must have arranged a plan for resurrection." ”

"Gildero, there's something I don't understand. Dowlis nodded in agreement with Lockhart's explanation, but changed the conversation to him, "Why are you hiding your strength? With the strength you showed when you cast the Fire Charm in the morning, if you help Dumbledore while he was fighting the Mystery, maybe we would have recaptured the Ministry!"

Everyone looked at Lockhart, many people had the same question, but they didn't raise it, even Harry looked at Lockhart suspiciously, he once suspected that Lockhart and Snape were both spies for the Death Eaters, although Dumbledore had explained it clearly to him, but now that Snape has defected, who knows if Lockhart is another mole!

"......" Lockhart is in a predicament, on the one hand, the matter of the Elder's wand is really not suitable to say, but at this critical moment, if he can't explain his position clearly, I am afraid that he will be suspicious and difficult in his future actions.

"Gildero, are you hiding your strength?" Hermione, although she didn't doubt Lockhart's position, asked curiously, "Why?"

"Gildero, explain. Kingsley didn't think much of it, "It would be nice to solve everyone's doubts." ”

"Uh......" Lockhart struggled to organize the language, "I don't hide my strength - but there are some things - I can't let you know......"

"What can't we know!" Moody asked dissatisfied, "Dumbledore's last words?" or are you really on the Death Eaters' side!?"

"By the way, Gildero, what did the Headmaster say when he called you and Snape into his office?" Blake didn't suspect him at all, but then remembered something else. "How did it happen, how could the Headmaster be killed by Snape so easily?"

"Say it, Gildero. Anna kindly persuaded, "You can't get past this level, if there are any secrets, we will help you keep them." ”

The principal said...... He was badly injured and needed to recuperate-uh, he asked Snape to prescribe him some healing medicine, and as a result, Snape saw Dumbledore's weak appearance and went straight into a murderous ...... As for my hidden strength - I'm sure you'll keep it a secret for me, but there's something called a truth elixir......" Lockhart shook his head helplessly, "once you all know, and then someone is poured into the truth potion by a mysterious person and leaks the secret, it will cause very serious consequences." ”

...... Most people believed that Lockhart was not a Death Eater, but trust could not dispel doubts in their minds, and this vague statement made things even more suspicious.

"I said Snape wasn't a good man!" Harry said loudly, anger burning in his eyes, "He must have gotten mixed with whichever side had the advantage, and when he saw that the Headmaster was injured and was no match for the Mystery, he ...... I'm going to kill him!"

A bunch of people thought differently, but they all looked at Lockhart with a frown, uneasiness and suspicion brewing in silence, but the secret of the Elder's wand was definitely not suitable for disclosure, and a way had to be found......

"Okay, pick the one with the strongest strength, the one that everyone can trust, and the one who is least likely to be caught by the Death Eaters," Hermione sensed that something was wrong and quickly thought of an idea. "Tell him the secret quietly, and then he will decide if your statement can solve everyone's doubts...... At the same time, the person cannot tell the secret. ”

"That's a good idea, I recommend Rufus!" Joe was the first to agree.

One after another, the Aurors said that the idea was okay, and Scrimgeour was also pushed out to act as the guarantor.

――

"Okay, but before that, I want you to make an oath. Scrimgeour held out his hand, and Lockhart grabbed his hand helplessly. "It's not that I don't trust you, Gildero, it's to take care of you—Alasto, get your spells ready. ”

Moody nodded and pulled out his wand.

"Can you guarantee that every word you will explain to me later is true? ”

"I promise. Lockhart said decisively.

A thin, red-hot tongue of fire erupted from Moody's wand and wrapped around their two hands.

"Can you promise that in this war, you will always stand opposite the Death Eaters and will never betray us. ”

"I promise. Lockhart didn't have much to think about it, and he agreed.

Another tongue of fire.

"Alright, now explain to me why you want to hide your strength. Scrimgeour nodded in satisfaction and let go of Lockhart's hand.

Lockhart organized the language and put his mouth into Scrimgeur's ear: "Dumbledore gave me a magic item in his office, which can improve the strength of the wielder, and when he fought in the Ministry of Magic, that thing was in Dumbledore's hands...... What exactly, can't say. ”

"Okay...... Although it is vague to say, I think he is reliable. Scrimgeour glanced at Lockhart with a strange look, nodded and explained. "Gilderoy has no ill will to hide his strength. ”

"Since you've all sworn by Gildero......" The atmosphere relaxed a little, but Hermione began to fight for her future husband, "I think everyone here swore that they would never betray each other, we can't afford another Snape!"

In the night, under the light of the bonfire, a group of people looked at each other......

"There's no need. Moody shook his head slightly, "The Aurors have a special way of guaranteeing loyalty, similar to the Order of the Phoenix...... If you're an Auror, you'll know, Granger, every Auror is loyal and reliable. ”

"I think Miss Granger is right. Anna was the first to support Hermione, "The loyalty check was done when we entered the Auror Division, and the allegiance was to the Ministry of Magic...... People change over time - you see, even the Ministry of Magic has changed!"
