Chapter 422: Acceptance and Return
Lockhart also had a rare look, sure enough, there is no simple person who can become the leader of a wizard, I am afraid that Scrimgeour didn't care about things here before, not just because of disdain, but because there are indeed ruthless characters here.
This is a wizard whose strength is not in the slightest below Moody's, and even faintly surpasses him.
Thinking of Moody, the softest part of Lockhart's heart was touched again. He retracted his momentum, "Okay, it's okay to keep Black Thorn from disbanding, but you have to do something for the Ministry of Magic first." β
The momentum competition between the two of them in just ten seconds made everyone around almost hold their breath, and after Lockhart took the lead in relenting, the other party quickly softened: "Do something? β
"That's right, Voldemort went to Germany to rob Grindelwald, and if the two of them join forces, I'm not an opponent, so I need a few wizards to keep the other person in check. "Lockhart didn't lie at all, anyway, he was looking for someone to help contain the powerful wizard, what does the name matter. "There are already a few powerful wizards who have promised me to help, but naturally the more people who can participate, the safer it is. β
"Grindelwald?" the other party's pale face also showed a surprised expression: "I met him when I traveled to Germany more than sixty years ago, when I was still young, and I only thought he was too strong to shine in the past...... Unexpectedly, he was defeated by Dumbledore later...... It's too dangerous. β
"No one is invincible, Grindelwald is defeated, Dumbledore who defeated him is also defeated, and Voldemort who defeated Dumbledore is also defeated......" Lockhart was about to talk, but suddenly found that none of the three examples he gave was true, Grindelwald, Dumbledore, Voldemort, none of these three people were defeated in a fair duel, and he was a little speechless for a while.
But he continued, "As long as you help with this, I can give you the rightful position and the right to deal with wizarding supplies on behalf of the Ministry of Magic, and you will continue to make a living - as long as you don't go too far." I can even turn a blind eye altogether. This is a chance to be completely whitewashed, and your brothers will not only enjoy their legal status, but also continue to do their familiar work......" Lockhart lowered his wand and said, "As long as you stand up and fight for me once when Voldemort appears, Black Thorn will have a chance to become the largest potions distribution organization under the new wizarding order." β
The wizards who belonged to the Black Thorns whispered for a while, after the introduction of the new wizarding law, wizards generally began to have money, and even immigrants came to England, these wizards who did business were the most sensitive to these changes, and they were obviously moved.
Lockhart continued to tempt: "And I see something wrong with you...... You're plagued by a disgusting little problem, aren't you? I'm just like you. But the difference is that I have a way to fix itβto solve it completely, to make it disappear from your bloodline...... Your offspring will never be poisoned by it again. β
The principal of the Black Thorn stared at him with a shocked gaze: "Are you sure?"
"Pretty sure. β
"Okay, I'm going to give my life to the Minister of Magic, and if I die, you have to promise to remove the curse for my child. The wizard who suspected of being a vampire said.
No wonder.
Lockhart had known from the information given by the people below that the Blood Ni family was behind the Black Thorns, but he didn't connect this Blood Ni with the legendary Blood Ni family: there have always been rumors that the Blood Ni family is vampires, but I didn't expect the rumors to be correct once!
Then Snape's guess was right, the unicorn's curse could be passed on to the next generation as it multiplied!
The news is terrible. It means that if you want to have children, it's not enough to restore your fertility with the Philosopher's Stone, you have to remove the curse cleanly! Lockhart doesn't want his child to be a weirdo from a young age like Lupin...... Lupin is lucky enough to meet three friends who can accept his werewolf status. But what if you're unlucky?
"You're dead?" Lockhart smiled, "You think I'm going to send you to your death, and then Grindelwald helps Voldemort kill me again after killing you?"
Dean Bloodney thought for a moment, and it was true: "Okay, then. You mean this wizarding market must be closed before you can kill Voldemort?"
"It has to be closed. Lockhart nodded affirmatively: "In addition to this, I will leave a magical mark on all those who are still on this street at this moment, and I can promise that all wizards who arrive at the Ministry of Magic before the end of work tomorrow night will be pardoned and whitewashed, and those who refuse to do so will be arrested by the Aurors tomorrow night." β
ββ
"Didn't catch anyone, just went back?" Harry asked, wide-eyed.
"I've left all of them with magical imprints that last for a few days, and as soon as someone tries to remove them, the striker will immediately apparate to the marked one. Lockhart explained as he walked, "Of course, there are no Death Eaters on this street today, and I forced the Black Thorns to hand over all the forbidden potions on the list." β
"The Aurors are so majestic!" Ron said wistfully, "Harry and I stopped at the exit and shouted, 'Auror case,' and all the wizards who tried to run out of the mouth stood there stupidly. β
"Another family begged us to let them go, saying they were just here to hang out, didn't buy any contraband, and asked me to check. Harry said, "It's like you're going to die in it if you can't get out." β
"It's a similar situation on our side. Neville muffled.
"Don't be complacent, I'm here today, and it's a coincidence that there are no Death Eaters in this market. Lockhart warned them with a straight face, "Harry, you're not really going to check on the family and let them go, are you?"
"Of course not, I remember the principle that you can't just let people get close, so I just pointed my wand at the wizards who wanted to get closer, and they obediently stood still a dozen meters away. β
"Hmm. β
"It's not always going to be this smooth. Albert didn't seem excited.
"Starting tomorrow, the three of you will follow the other Aurors on simple missions. Lockhart looked at Harry and said, "And you, I'm going to give you a separate task, you do it independently, and it's best for you to complete." β
"The Savior is really different, even the mission to be performed when he becomes an Auror is different from others. Ron said sourly.
Harry was a little nervous, "What mission?"
"Find Professor Slughorn and convince him to come and help the Ministry of Magic during the summer. β
"I don't have any contact with him, where can I find him?"
"I'll give you permission, the Aurors and the Order of the Phoenix informants in the people, the agents of the Department of Mysteries, all the information channels, you can call. After discovering his whereabouts, I went to him and asked him to help me deal with Voldemort and Grindelwald. Lockhart glanced at him: "I know this fat old man likes to run blindly, and the last time Dumbledore found him, he also used a large number of informants from the Order of the Phoenix to succeed." But this time you have to trick him over, without the help of enough powerful wizards, I don't dare to go to Voldemort at all - Grindelwald, as the former Dark Lord, is quite terrifying, not under Voldemort. β
"I'll try. β
"If you can't convince you, contact me with a note. Lockhart said, "I'll come in person and try to give him a condition that he can't refuse." β
