They hit the ground again, and it was a beach, but the ground was fairly solid. The weather on the beach is not good, and the gray sky and the white sea level in the distance seem to be connected. Overhead, seagulls chirped, and houses sparsely stood along the shore.

After the fluctuations of the spatial magic were lifted, the cold sea breeze immediately blew on their faces with a salty and fishy smell, a little cold......

Lockhart put his arm around Hermione's shoulders and walked towards Bill and Fleur's house.

"The scenery here should be nice in the summer, and we can build a house here in the future, okay?" Hermione began to look forward to the rest of her life. "Come here in the summer to escape the heat, and live in London in the winter and hide in the house. ”

"Listen to you. ”

"Don't show affection," Blake said dissatisfiedly, "where do Bill and Fleur live?"

"This way. Lockhart gave everyone a warmth spell and continued to lead the way.

The Shell Cottage is believed to be hidden by a folk version of the Loyalty Charm, and Lockhart asks Arthur with a note, who says he is a secret and tells them the exact location of the house.

Then the small house soon appeared in their field of vision, with a strange shape, and at first glance it was the residence of the wizard. The two tall chimneys on either side, like the ears of a rabbit, and the sloping and high roofs appear to be all paved with shells, while the main body below is pressed to a less conspicuous extent.

They went up and knocked on the door, and it opened at once, as if the people in the house had been waiting for them.

"Professor Lockhart!Cyrris, Arlie, Hermione!" Fleur, who had the Nymphado gene, still looked radiant, and he hugged all of them excitedly, except Albert, "This is?"

"This is a new friend of ours, Albert Terrence. Lockhart introduced.

"Oh, hello, Abbott, please come in......"

The cabin also has a Space Amplification Charm applied to it. It doesn't look crowded, and the most important thing is that there are quite a few people, in addition to Bill, there are Lupin and Tonks, Ginny, Ron, and Mundungus!

"Professor, it's good to see you!" Ginny jumped up excitedly, "Hermione!" and "Ginny!" the two girls hugged each other.

"Merry Christmas. Lockhart greeted everyone.

"Merry Christmas. ”

......

The children immediately got together, and Lockhart cared about the pot-bellied Tonks: "You look terrible, Tonks, can you still apparilate nine months pregnant?" How did you get here. ”

Apparition requires the wizard to protect himself with his own magic, otherwise it will easily lead to splitting, and the young wizard can only use the fireplace or the portkey, because the Floo powder and the portkey will create a layer of protection. Of course, it is also a way to let a powerful wizard envelop him with magic and then apparage, but this "powerful" is more demanding.

"I'm an Auror!" Tonks said angrily. "Bringing someone to apparition is just a small thing, and this person is in my stomach. ”

"Former Aurors. Lockhart reminded her, then asked Lupin, "When was it born?"

"It's less than two weeks, I don't know. Lupin said. "If the child is born, can you be the godfather? Anyway, you've done a lot of things out there...... It's a pity, so many Aurors. ”

"Would love to ...... It's good that I got you out on the first day, if you two were there on September 3rd. That's bad. Lockhart didn't want to talk about it again. "I went to attack the Manjik family yesterday and avenged Mad Eye, did the news come out in the newspapers. ”

"No, you've avenged Mad Eye?" Tonks was saddened. She was also an Auror brought out by Moody, and even brought into the Order of the Phoenix by Moody. "Well done, Gildero. ”

――

Talking about the mad eye of sacrifice. The atmosphere was somewhat oppressive, but it was immediately broken by a scream.

"What, you're married to the Professor!" Ginny cried out in surprise, stunned as she looked at the marriage certificate Hermione had shown her. She said in an envious tone, "You're amazing, Hermione...... How did you trick him into going to the Muggle registry?"

"I took her to register. Lockhart said, "Now Hermione is my wife." ”

"Oh?" everyone was stunned by the news and congratulated them.

"Great, Mrs. Lockhart, come to the kitchen and prepare lunch for us. Fleur said with a smile. "To keep a man's heart, you must first keep his stomach. ”

Fleur and Hermione went to the kitchen, and Lockhart sat down to discuss their next steps after introducing Albert to the group.

"Arthur and Jasmine, can't he come?"

"Dad, he's going to get the attention of the guys at the Ministry of Magic at the Burrow. Ron said that Hermione's sudden marriage to Lockhart was a big shock to him, but of course he didn't know that Hermione would have his last name Weasley, so he quickly accepted the fact. "Even we have to sneak around. ”

"Alas......" Bill sighed, "I don't dare to have children with Fleur now, and I can't live a good life after birth......"

Seeing that Ginny was still holding the marriage certificate and shouting, Mundungus jokingly said, "Ginny, now that wizards allow polygamy, you can marry Gildero." ”

"Fuck your sister, I don't share my husband with others. Ginny said angrily. "My husband has to be heroic, mature and emotional...... Well...... Love me only one!"

Her ex-boyfriend, Harry Potter, sat awkwardly and touched his nose......

"Mondongues, how did you get here?" Lockhart ignored the boring jokes, "I'll give you a new note later, this kind of troubled times, but it's a great time for you to make a difference!"

"Great timing comes great risk, you think I want to be this hero!" the short man cried out with a sad face, "Dumbledore is dead...... In the past, if I was caught for something, he would always get me out, and now I continue to be a Order of the Phoenix...... What other benefits can I get besides the risk? I hid well, but Remus found it, and pulled it over, the dog's nose is really ......."

"You're a dog-nosed, your whole family is a dog-nosed!" Tonks said angrily. "Coward......

"It's just that being a Order of the Phoenix at a time like this is true glory and courage, Professor. Can you give me a note, I'm going to join the Order of the Phoenix!" Ron said proudly.

"Me too!" Ginny immediately joined in. "I ...... In 8 months, I will be an adult at the age of seventeen!"

"Okay, I'll make a few more in the evening, and I'll give everyone here. Lockhart agreed: "Maybe I should ask Rufus for a few notes he made......

"No need, we're the Order of the Phoenix, they're Aurors. "Fleur is willing to join the Order of the Phoenix, but one per person is enough." We believe you won't die, and if you do, I'm not ready to fight anymore. ”

"Ahh Lockhart nodded in understanding. It was already friendship and courage to be willing to do something for the Order of the Phoenix at such a moment, their lives were not threatened, and there was no reason for them to resist desperately.

――

The Christmas dinner was quickly prepared, and a large number of people sat around to eat, although it was almost a scene of reunion of the core members of the Order of the Phoenix, but the atmosphere was very depressing. The deaths of Dumbledore and Moody, Voldemort's presence, the pressure created by the Death Eaters' gaining power, and so on...... suppressed the laughter on everyone's faces. Luckily, Tonks and Ginny were able to liven up the atmosphere.

"We've been systematically causing trouble for Snape at school with Neville, Luna, and the others to not make him comfortable as headmaster. Ginny shook her red hair and said with a hint of pride, "And the Caro brothers and sisters, they're as stupid as pigs." We often tease us to ......."

"Now Hogwarts has completely changed, and the Defence Against the Dark Arts class has become a Dark Arts Practice class......" Ron grumbled as he nibbled on the big turkey leg, "It is said that next semester we will be performing the Heart Curse and the Imperius Charm on the first year students, my God...... I'm going to refuse to go to class then. Then Snape will definitely punish us for accompanying Hagrid to patrol the Forbidden Forest, haha, he must not have guessed how much fun we had with Hagrid!"

"!" Lockhart said, frowning. On the one hand, it was about the content of the lesson, and on the other hand, it was for Snape, who went to great lengths to protect the children, but they took good intentions like donkeys.

Tonks recounted the scene of the child in her belly kicking her with warmth, and she looked much more stable now, at least not as hairy as before......

In addition, I have to admit that Fleur's cooking skills are indeed much better than Hermione's, and Lockhart has eaten a lot, according to her, a literary young woman who can't cook can only be a junior.

Seeing Ginny swaying her smooth red hair there, excitedly talking to Tonks, Lockhart suddenly noticed that she was unusually beautiful, and couldn't help but move her index finger, what's wrong...... Lockhart shook his head, has his resistance to the little beauty decreased.

When it comes to beauty, Fleur is the prettiest girl Lockhart has ever seen, prettier than Pandora. If Pandora and Ginny are nine-point beauties, then Fleur is a perfect ten, and Hermione is eight and a half points if she dresses up seriously...... When he first saw Fleur, Lockhart wanted to get her hands on her, but Pandora suddenly ran out to confess to him at Christmas that he had messed up the plan by not holding it right, and as a result, this beautiful girl with charming blood married to the Weasley family according to the original plot.

Why did you suddenly become a connoisseur, cough cough......

"It's good that it's a seventh-year class...... Ginny patted her chest and rejoiced, "Professor, when are you going to take down the mystery man, I don't want to hit my juniors with the Diamond Heart Charm." ”

"I don't know, we're now collecting information about Horcruxes, looking for a way to destroy them quickly, but we don't have a clue. Lockhart said helplessly. "When the time comes, I'll give all of you a contact note I've made, and you'll all help me figure it out, especially you, Mundungus. ”

"Oh, I'll talk about it later. The old man replied reluctantly.

"Well, then Professor Lockhart, what are you going to do next? Fleur asked.

"Stay here for a while, it's safe and wait until we have an idea of what to do next. Lockhart replied, "I might have to trouble you for a while." ”

"How so!" Fleur and Bill didn't speak, and Ginny thought of herself as the master of the place, "Since the professor lives here, I live here too, and Mom and Dad will lie to the public that we went to Aunt Muriel's for a vacation." You're going to teach us more about anti-dark magic during the holidays, and it's definitely going to come in handy!"

"It's easy, just join Cyris' training with Harry when the time comes. Loha nodded, "If you don't understand anything, ask me directly." ”

"Mr. Lockhart...... I want to join the Order of the Phoenix too......" Albert was almost ignored by everyone.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'll give you a copy of the note, I've been negligent before. Lockhart quickly apologized, "Let's have a toast to the first American member of the Order of the Phoenix." ”

"Okay, cheers!"
