The whole of Britain, from the wizarding world to the Muggle world, was caught in the panic created by the Death Eaters, and the incident continued to escalate and the panic intensified, but the breeding of Dementors caused the temperature to get colder and colder. Only at Hogwarts, with powerful magic and Dumbledore's protection, can everyone enjoy school life in peace.

Of course, there is still a lot of trouble for some people who have made an unbreakable oath.

"Draco, what are you going to do?" Lockhart asked as kindly as he could as kindly as he could, it was a strange feeling to sit face-to-face with a little Death Eater and discuss how to assassinate his own headmaster. Lockhart couldn't help but admire Snape even more, who served as a spy and wandered between the strongest black and white wizards.

"Professor, I really don't know......" Draco had already been told by his mother that Lockhart could be trusted, so he didn't pretend to be strong in front of him at all, "what the hell am I going to do, the Dark Lord asked me to kill the Headmaster...... He can't even do it himself......"

"It's not your turn to do this kind of thing, Draco, the Dark Lord is taking revenge on your father. Lockhart followed Draco's words, "The most important thing you should do now is to do your best, it's normal that you can't do it, what do so many adult Death Eaters do?"

"Revenge on my father......" Draco's originally handsome face suddenly turned pale, "Isn't it that I am being taken seriously by the Dark Lord?"

"Important?" Lockhart shook his head, "did he say what would happen to you if you couldn't finish it?" ”

"He's going to kill me. Draco seems to want to speak for Voldemort, "He does this to his men who can't complete their missions. ”

"Draco, you never thought about why the Dark Lord kept failing. Lockhart didn't continue the conversation, but changed the subject, "The whole Malfoy family is so loyal, what benefit do you get as a result? I don't understand, with the Dark Lord, what do you get but fear?"

"But the Dark Lord is so powerful...... And he's mastered the methods of immortality......" Draco said with a slurrel.

"Lies!" Lockhart said categorically, "I took many adventures in my youth, and I met many powerful wizards, but most people, nay, almost all wizards, agreed that there was no way to live forever, and even those who we thought were immortal had to submit to death. ”

"But he came up with evidence, and all the people who tried to kill him ultimately failed......"

"All those who tried to kill Dumbledore ultimately failed, and this is strength, not some immortal method, Draco. Lockhart said to him earnestly, "Remember what I've been emphasizing in class?" ”

"What?" Draco's mind was a mess too.

"All spells have a principle, remember. Lockhart said, "In the same way, it's not just a spell, everything in the world has its own principle, why do people die?"

"Because...... Aging?" Draco replied uncertainly.

"That's right, constant aging leads to death, so how to achieve eternal life? The answer is to overcome this aging with some kind of power -- it can be a potion or a magic power. ”

"yes, isn't it theoretically possible? Draco asked.

"Theoretically, it works!, but Nicol Lemay told me that the rate of aging is accelerating, and I personally suspect that this 'acceleration' itself is accelerating...... You know what I mean, you've always been smart. ”

"Nicol Lemay?" Draco said with a shocked look on his face, "Didn't he find a way to eternal life?" ”

"It's a pity that after six hundred years of battling death, he still lost. Lockhart also told him that "as we said above, to achieve eternal life, it is necessary to have some kind of resources to overcome aging, and aging is getting faster and faster......"

"There are more and more resources needed. Draco will answer as well.

"Yes, then, do you think that after the Dark Lord has successfully conquered the wizarding world, he will share the opportunity and resources of immortality with all the Death Eaters?" asked Lohatra, "and that's based on the assumption that he actually found a way to immortality." Actually, I'll give you a minute, and you ask yourself, do you believe in such a thing as eternal life?"

A long minute passed, and Draco gave Lockhart what he thought was the correct answer: "Not convinced." ”

"Very well, then it will be much easier for us to communicate with each other for the rest of the day. Lockhart said happily, "Now, we don't think there is such a thing as eternal life. So...... Assuming that the Dark Lord succeeds in controlling the wizarding world, then what will the Malfoy family gain? ”

"Exalted status, money...... Power?" Draco replied unconvinced.

"Whatever, I'll ask you, which one didn't have in the original Malfoy family?" Lockhart pressed step by step, "Status, aren't you nobles in the Muggle world, you even have a large fiefdom! Money, I suspect that there is no richer family in the whole of Britain, and power, as one of the few complete pure-blood families left in the wizarding world, the financial sponsor of the Ministry of Magic, and the director of Hogwarts, you have always had a say in the wizarding world. - What do you want?"

"Perhaps...... Reputation?" Draco's voice grew lower.

"Which is more famous, helping the Dark Lord gain the wizarding world, or defeating the Dark Lord and saving the wizarding world?"

Silent...... Ponder...... Lockhart leaned back in his chair and waited for Draco's reply.

"Well, Professor, you're always right! But......" Draco hesitated, pulling up his sleeve, revealing his Dark Mark mark. "There's no turning back for me, Professor!"

Draco seemed to be extremely remorseful: "I can only go one way to the dark now, either to become the Dark Lord's most trusted Death Eater, or to become a prisoner of the Ministry of Magic!"

"Not necessarily, don't forget my title - the man who is best at dealing with the dark arts," Lockhart said confidently, "it's a breeze to deal with this little trick on your arm." ”

"Really, Professor. Draco looked skeptical, "I think the Dark Lord got something, even you, going to have to trouble getting rid of it." ”

"You can choose to trust me or not," Lockhart said, "If you're afraid of the Dark Mark, you can do your best to assassinate Dumbledore, but it's going to be in vain." In the end, you can come to me, and I will help you remove the dark magic mark. ”

"Really......" Draco was about to speak, when there was a knock on the office door, and he immediately stopped talking, blocking the mark on his arm.

"Please come in. Lockhart sat up straight, too.

"Professor, what are you discussing?" Hermione timidly poked her head in, spotting someone.

"Nothing, Draco is asking me questions. Lockhart waved his hand, "No doubt, you can go." ”

"Okay, thank you, Professor!" Draco was quick to respond.

――

"Hermione, I remember there was an arithmetic and divination class in the afternoon. After Draco left, Lockhart asked curiously, "What are you doing here?"

"It's nothing, I miss you!" Hermione sat boldly on Lockhart's lap after seeing Draco leave, put her arms around his neck and spoke to him affectionately, "I carefully investigated Fudge's exam results and excluded all the classes she might have taken, so that I can stagger her class time and come to see you with peace of mind!

"You abrasive little goblin......" Lockhart said with a wry smile as he hugged Hermione's soft but elastic body, "Quite witty, can't you sit in a chair and talk well?"

"No, I've been sitting on that chair since I was in second grade, I'm tired of it!" Hermione said brutally, and continued to ask Lockhart for a kiss.

The kind of thing Lockhart did to her that day at the Burrow made Hermione feel like she was already his woman, and she acted more and more boldly. At the same time, that kind of ** taste also made Hermione unforgettable, she had been looking forward to being able to do it again, but how can this kind of shameful thing be said......

"Gildero~, Harry didn't know where to get a Potions textbook, there was a ...... on everything" Hermione put her arms around Lockhart, and she had nothing to say, "It feels like Harry is cheating......"

Lockhart gently hugged Hermione's waist and couldn't help laughing, "So, you're not convinced?"

"He's called the Little Prince of Potions!I don't even know what he's going to do with that book!" Hermione said angrily, "he should have confessed sooner and returned that book, it was a lie." ”

"My dear, Harry, this is making good use of the wisdom left by his predecessors, I don't think it's a deception, you can also copy some notes from that book and take a look. Lockhart said gently, "The most important thing is that you are with me and worry about another boy like an elder, which is too rude to me......"

"Ah, I'm sorry, Gildero......" Hermione was a little scared, she thought Lockhart was angry, "We don't talk about Harry anymore, remember my house-elf welfare council." ”

"What's wrong, is there any progress?" Lockhart reached into Hermione's wizarding robes and stroked them through her underwear, Hermione almost wanted to close her eyes with pleasure.

"Well...... Many people have expressed their willingness to be nice to house-elves, but when it comes to welfare, no one has stepped up to set an example, so what to do. Hermione whispered with her head on Lockhart's shoulder, but she didn't want an answer at all right now, she just wanted Lockhart to pick her up roughly, throw her on the couch, strip her naked, and do the kind of couple thing to her.

"You'll need a couple of Tors, Hermione. Hermione was full of softness, and Lockhart was blessed with it, but he was serious about giving her ideas, "Let them first announce that they are willing to provide house-elf benefits, and then hype it up, so as to create a trend of house-elf benefits." ”

"Good idea, Gildero......" Hermione slumped into Lockhart's arms, a little disappointed to see that he kept moving his hands and feet, but did not move further, "Can I sneak to your dorm room at night?"

"Uh...... Pandora sometimes comes in the evenings. Lockhart was embarrassed, "Besides, Professor McGonagall is very strict......"

"Then Professor Snape, the head of Slytherin, didn't check it out strictly!"

Lockhart was speechless for a while, of course, but Snape knew that Pandora would occasionally come to Lockhart's dormitory, so he just turned a blind eye, and Professor McGonagall was not so easy to talk to, not to mention Professor McGonagall's rigid personality, if he found that his students were other people's lovers......

"I don't care!" Hermione cried aggrievedly, "it's my seventeenth birthday in two days, and on September 19th, I want you to accompany me on that day, and to drive Pandora back with me!"

September 19th, it's Thursday, and Pandora has a class on Friday morning, so she shouldn't come.

"Well, I promised you. ”

"I love you, Gildero!" Hermione immediately regained her affection and kissed Lockhart again, "More than anyone else!"

"I love you too, baby. "You can't love me more than myself and my mother, and Pandora would say the same...... But Lockhart didn't want to spoil the fun. "Now, you go back obediently first, wash up and wait for me on your birthday~"

"Hmm!" Hermione's face turned red all of a sudden, and she couldn't help but clamp her legs, get off the ground, and leave the office.
