Chapter 341: Planning (I)
"Seaverβ" Lockhart looked at him uneasily, at the man who had been nearly ruined by remorse and vengeance.
"I'm sorry...... But no matter what, I must kill the Dark Lord, which is what keeps me alive. Snape took a deep breath and said through gritted teeth.
"Then you can take back the Ministry of Magic first, right?" Lockhart advised, "After all, the Dark Lord can't escapeβ"
"You hide first, someone's coming!" Snape suddenly raised his eyebrows, said nervously, pointed at the window with his wand, and opened one: "Window, quick!"
"Hmm. Lockhart didn't talk nonsense, and immediately turned into a white light, and got out of Snape's open window, found a corridor where no one was there, and quickly put on the cloak of invisibility.

There is no danger...... In fact, there are not many Death Eaters on this campus that he can't knock down and control in an instant, but he is afraid of encountering the kind of Death Eaters who have both the mark of the dark devil and can't extinguish their mouths, and the brain occlusion that can't modify their memories and fall into the trap.
Lockhart slowly walked back to the room and pushed open the door, only to find Hermione awake and sitting in a daze in the hammock, her legs dangling from the edge of the hammock and shaking unconsciously. I smiled when I saw him walk in.
"Wake up, are you comfortable? β
"Comfortable for your size," Hermione glanced at him with a retracted smile, "and woke up to find that you weren't there, if it weren't for the dirty on your body...... I thought it was another spring dream. β
"Okay dear, I apologize," Lockhart put his arm around her, "I was a little emotional and played too much just now, and it won't be like this in the future." β
"It's not too much...... But you'll have to respect my opinion or say something......" Hermione said with a flushed face, "Gildero, you seem to be younger than you used to be, you look like you're twenty, how do you feel about your new body?"
"Yay. You've experienced it all and are still asking this question?" Lockhart said with a wicked grin, "Now we should discuss what to do next, I discussed it with Severus, and I don't have a clue, mainly the whereabouts of the Horcruxes, and I don't know if I'm a match for the Mystic now-"
"You're no match for him, don't touch the Mystery!" Hermione suddenly exclaimed, "You are not allowed to find a way to deal with him again, there are so many Aurors...... We're now trying to find a way to retake the Ministry of Magic, and then we're on the defensive. It's better to drown him in a sea of people!"
"Well, I'll take your opinion into account, so rest for now, and we'll talk to Severus tomorrow......" Lockhart said.
"Okay, do you still need to suck blood in your new body?"
"Yes, but it's not as urgently needed as it used to be, the magic in the body is enough not to suck blood for a few weeks, but if you hold it, it will definitely look like you're in a bad state......"
"Ginny came to you just now and asked if you still want to suck blood...... What did you do to her? Hermione was puzzled, "Isn't she most afraid of vampires, it seems that when George and Fred were young, they liked to scare her with vampire stories......"
"I see...... I'm just sucking blood, unless I'm pumping my blood into her. Otherwise, she wouldn't have become a vampire. Lockhart laughed, "She probably figured it out and decided to do something to fight against the mysterious man." β
"Contribute your sister," Hermione said as she feigned anger. "Don't suck her blood anymore, suck me if you need to, or go to the school and find another student or Death Eater. The Weasleys are all Order of the Phoenix, not for your blood!"
"Okay, good......" Loha nodded and agreed. "I'll find a way to get rid of the curse on my body as soon as possible, and being a vampire all the time is not an option. β
"Well, I want to take a shower before I go to bed, it's so dirty, slimy ......" Hermione was satisfied with Lockhart's answer, and stopped pursuing this matter.
"I'll go with you. β
"Don't. β
"I promise not to do anything!" said Lockhart, "and I don't feel comfortable with you going alone...... Come on, put on the cloak of invisibility. β

On the second day of the resurrection, Lockhart thought twice about it, but activated all the communication notes and announced his resurrection to all the Order of the Phoenix and the Aurors.
He informed everyone that he was now hiding in a safe place, and still hadn't told them that Snape was undercover, and safety came first. Mondongues was no longer in contact, he should have thrown the note away, for him, Lockhart did not have much hope, Mondogus and Voldemort have neither a grudge nor a conflict of interest...... The Order of the Phoenix, which Dumbledore joined only to repay him, was already very righteous that he did not betray the position of the Burrow to the Death Eaters.
Lockhart told McGonagall and the Hidden Order of the Phoenix not to act rashly, he was not fully recovered, and he would not let anyone meet with him, it was too dangerous. Hagrid was definitely going to pay a visit, and now he was going to start looking for the uncursed unicorn blood himself, Snape had studied it out of academic curiosity, and now Lockhart was trying to restore his body.
Scrimgeour has contacted twenty or thirty credible wizards who are willing to resist, but these forces are simply not enough to storm and retake the Ministry head-on, and Scrimgeour is trying to retake the Ministry by planting a presence in the Ministry. They agreed to meet next month to discuss their next move.
Now that the Room of Requirement had become Lockhart and Hermione's new house, they even used a curtain on the inside to separate one piece and use the outside as a living room and the inside as a bedroom. Ask Snape or Ginny to deliver food every day...... Lockhart had already put Ginny on hold of H.A., neither his own existence nor Snape's position could be known to the young men, who couldn't keep it a secret.
And Albert, who managed to get through the tricks of a few Death Eaters, and a month later his memories were unlocked and he hid in London. Although it was later revealed that Lockhart was also wanted for a while after he was killed, Thala's hatred was not great, and the matter was finally settled. Lockhart told him to keep hiding, not to do anything, and wait for notice.
He was relieved that no one had asked him how he had been resurrected, and although he couldn't escape the question sooner or later, he didn't want to start arguing too early on about whether it was the right thing to do to make Horcruxes.

"I thought about it last night, if we can't find the gold cup, let's deal with Nagini......" Snape took the initiative to come to the room of require this time, a bunch of people were sitting and chatting on the mattresses left by the piled up H.A. members, there were a lot of mattresses, and the outside was used for 'reception', and inside the curtain was where Hermione and Lockhart slept. "Because I am afraid that Nagini will be far away from him, the power of the Displacement Charm will decrease, and the Dark Lord will not let it leave his side at all, but this will make it easier for us to find it - as long as I go to see the Dark Lord, I will definitely be able to see Nagini!"
"So, are we going to deal with Nagini at the Dark Lord's side?" Lockhart asked, confused.
"You're in the same body as the Dark Lord right now, you should be able to beat him, right?" Snape looked at Lockhart and said, "I have a plan, pretend you're subdued by me, and I'll send you to the Dark Lordβ"
"No!" Hermione said loudly, "Gildero, don't take any more risks!"
"Mrs. Lockhart, men are discussing things with each other...... Snape said impatiently.
"What a man, Gilderoy is my husband, and you want him to go on an adventure now!" Hermione said angrily, "even if you save his life!"
Hermione...... Don't worry, listen to Severus's plan first, it's too dangerous for us to try. Lockhart squeezed her hand and comforted. "Hmm...... Ginny, what are you doing?"
"I'm out of class - uh, let's see if you need help......" Ginny said as she walked in through the door of the Room of Requirement, her face flushed, "Professor Snape is there, is there something to discuss?"
"Well...... We don't need much help just yet, Ginny. Hermione said, "Go back." β
"Oh, it's okay, I'll hear you guys talk about it......" Ginny sat down in her hammock and stared at Lockhart secretly.
Hermione looked at Ginny suspiciously, at Lockhart, and said nothing.
"You're pretending to be someone the Dark Lord wants to kill, and I'll bring you to the Dark Lordβ" Snape said, "The Dark Lord likes to feed the wizards he captures to Nagini...... You can take advantage of this and get close to it......"
"Do you want Gildero to let himself be bitten by Nagini?" Hermione looked at Snape angrily, "this plan is, let's talk about how to get Gildelow back to normal." β
"It's a bit of a, Severus, what can you do if you approach it. Lockhart asked, "Didn't you say that the Dark Lord is unattackable as long as he doesn't run out of magic." β
"The Offset Charm can only offset magic, not objects, and as long as you use physical methods, such as piercing its skin and casting spells in its body, the Offset Charm will not work. β
"The mystery man is not so stupid, Nagini's skin must have physical protection magic, otherwise wouldn't any Muggle be able to kill it?"
"Not necessarily, if you think about it, it's meant to bite and eat...... In other words, when it opens its mouth, it does not have any protective magic in front of it......"
"Just put the wand in its mouth and cast a spell......" said Ginny, "the professor will be able to do it!"
"It's a ghost if you can do it...... Lockhart's face was full of black lines, "Do I still have to go to the Muggle world to practice my swordsmanship to make sure it can poke its wand into its mouth the moment it opens its mouth to bite me?"
"It's impossible. Hermione was relieved to hear this, "Now we can discuss how to make Gildero no longer need to suck blood!"
