It was nearly seven o'clock in the evening, and the Ministry of Magic had already left work.

"I'll get you a place to stay in Grimaud Square. Lockhart took him next door to the Order of the Phoenix headquarters, which he had intended to be his and Hermione's future residence in London, and it was too inconvenient to live in the Sirith family's house.

He even decided to move here tonight when he was pestered by Ginny in the morning, but now he had to bargain for Grindelwald.

"Master, you're back!" the elf Jim greeted him respectfully, and Hermione's cat, Crookshan, rubbed at his feet.

――

The old elf Cretcher who served the Black family was too territorial to allow the elves of the Lockhart family to stay on his turf, so Jim stayed next door.

In the morning he asked the elf to tidy up the house, and the day had passed and it was all done, and even the cat had been brought over.

"You serve this gentleman first—" Hey, how do you wear clothes, trousers, and shoes. "What's going on with you?"

"Master—" said the elf fearfully, "it was Madame who got it for me, and she asked me to wear it, and Jim didn't want to wear it, but Madame insisted that I wear it...... You said you were going to listen to everything Madame said. ”

"Oh, then you can wear it. "This woman just loves to worry about it, Lockhart is a little helpless, but this is the Hermione he loves, don't change at all. "You go and prepare dinner for Mr. Grindelwald first. ”

"Grindelwald, Dark Lord Grindelwald!" the elf reacted very quickly, and immediately cried out in horror: "Master, this is an extremely dangerous wizard!

"Hehe, I can't believe that after all these years, even a British house-elf still knows me. Grindelwald said triumphantly.

"Shut up and do whatever you want!" Lockhart scolded the elf loudly, "You must not tell Dobby when he's back!"

"Okay, master. Dobby...... Dobby he went out to play, and Jim didn't listen to him—"

"Got it, there's more. How many times have I told you not to call the master, you don't have a master under the new wizarding law system, call me sir!"

"Yes, master!" Jim looked at him with wide winked eyes, "Oh no, sir!"

“...... Forget it, you can get to work. ”

――

"You live here first, and don't run around. After the elf left, Lockhart sat down on the couch in the hall and motioned for Grindelwald to sit as well: "I'll give you a note to contact me first, and I've found Voldemort." I'll let you know right away. ”

Hermione's big yellow cat jumped on the couch and squatted on his lap, and Lockhart groomed it a few times.

"Hmm. The old man slouched into the couch and did not reach for it, so Lockhart had to put the note on the table.

It's ironic that the Order of the Phoenix's note would one day be used by a Dark Lord.

"Tomorrow you sort it out and go to the Ministry of Magic with me to register, you used the Philosopher's Stone to regain your youth, and I guess no one will recognize you......" Lockhart thought seriously for the other party: "In this way, you lie that you are your nephew who is separated overseas." Or a distant cousin? So it's okay for someone to say that you look like Grindelwald a dozen years ago. ”

"I've been staying in Newmondard, how can anyone from the outside world be familiar with what I look like when I'm half-old. The former Dark Lord said disdainfully, "Just change your name!"

"What are you going to call it?"

"Let's just call DeWadi Tregg, my name is pronounced completely backwards. ”

"It's so casual. ”

Grindelwald smiled disdainfully: "Young people are easy to think too much, do some people think about reversing other people's names when they see them? How do you pronounce Gilderoy Lockhart upside down? Big deal, my name is DeWadi Lockhart." You can tell people that I'm your grandfather. ”

"Fuck off!"

"Snort-" Grindelwald pouted: "My age is absolutely no problem when you are a grandfather, what's not to accept?"

"Forget it, it's Dewadi Tereg. Annoyed, Lockhart continued, "That elf's name is Jim, and there's another one named Dobby who will be back later." But that one isn't very obedient, you just need to call Jim if you need to. ”

"Hmm. Grindelwald still looked lazy: "What about the competition we said we would do, when?"

"Tomorrow you go to the Ministry of Magic to register. I'll take you to Ollivander's to pick one, oh no, two, and I'll compete with you with the wand you picked for me. Lockhart said, "Whoever wins gets the Elder's wand." ”

"Well, let's do it...... Now, you can go, I'm going to go take a shower and get a good night's sleep. Grindelwald quickly took over the magpie's nest and began to chase away the guests, and the domineering spirit of the former German wizarding leader began to be revealed.

"Okay, don't let anyone else in, I locked the door. Also, don't mess around in my house!" Lockhart picked up Crookhill and prepared to leave the house, and before leaving, he said uneasily.

――

"Where have you been this afternoon?" Lockhart asked as soon as he returned to the headquarters next door.

"I've done something important......," Lockhart said with a tired face, "you haven't finished dinner yet, it's great, I'll eat first." ”

"News from Germany that the Dark Lord Grindelwald has been taken away by Voldemort. Bill nervously said, "Just a few hours ago......"

"yes, that's not going to be easy. Lockhart struggled with whether or not to tell everyone the truth, but once he said that Grindelwald had saved himself, he had to explain his speculation about Voldemort's plan, and he had to talk about the enhancements and side effects of resurrection magic...... In the end, I may tell them that I have to suck blood every day......

The other Order of the Phoenix members were discussing the issue with each other, but Lockhart decided not to say anything this time - it would be better for now, he didn't want to frighten the people until it became clear.

But they must also be reminded to be vigilant.

"In that case...... Voldemort is likely to make a move in the near future, and in just two days he will be reactivating the Floo network, and I will ask the Ministry of Magic to raise the alert level to the highest level. ”

"Yes...... Aren't Grindelwald and Headmaster Dumbledore friends?" Hermione asked confusedly, "How could he help the mysterious man who killed his friend?"

"Friends when you are young don't necessarily be friends for life. Ginny looked at Lockhart's face and said, "And that book was written by Rita, uh-huh—"

"It's true that it's not certain whether they'll join forces or not, but if Grindelwald will help Voldemort," Lockhart said a little weakly, "I'm definitely not an opponent, and those two Chinese wizards can't either, then, I need the support of powerful wizards - it just so happens that the energy supply room has been temporarily rebuilt, and it is unlikely to be invaded in a short time, so I will first transfer all those Aurors who are secrets back to the execution department...... Specifically, I will also have to see the reaction of the German Ministry of Magic. ”

"What's wrong with Gildero, he looks tired?" Tonks asked with concern, "it can't be that he went out to find a lover." ”

"Looking for a lover, how can you come back for dinner...... Lockhart shook his head, "I went to the north in the afternoon to pick up an old man, he now lives in my newly cleaned house next door, and needs to recuperate, don't go over to close, this old guy has a bad temper." ”

"Well, Creecher, go and heat this thing up. Cyreth shouted.

"Right away, the master ......"

――

Mistaken, forgetting something important to him: despite trying to save, he used a lot of mana this afternoon, and Lockhart is feeling a little ** now......

Never drink Hermione's blood...... His eyes crossed the faces of the people around the table.

He first looked at Gabrielle with a cheerful face, no, her little body will affect her health if she sucks too much...... Fleur next to her, talking to Bill with a straight face, trying to suck her blood......? Lockhart finally looked at Ginny, and sure enough, the other party was looking at him with a strange expression.

Maybe we can go find her and suck some blood first, survive tonight, and tomorrow go to the Ministry of Magic to interrogate the two prisoners?

The situation is not serious, let's talk about it after eating.
