"Gildero. Someone called out to him, and he turned to see it was Minister Fudge. He looked at the poor creature who was still sitting in the position of Minister of Magic, who seemed a little mentally disturbed because of his long time under the Imperius curse, but he didn't seem to be mistreated—and there was no need. I don't know when the Death Eaters will come to power as Minister of Magic.

"Found Pandora," Fudge said to startle Lockhart, who looked a little annoyed. "She's kidnapped by those Aurors and taken to France, aren't you worried at all!"

"Sir, I'm ...... I'm working on it, I'm going to France to find her!" Lockhart hurriedly responded, "You can get busy with yours first, I'll go and make preparations!"

Regardless of Secretary Fudge's complaints, Lockhart took Scrimgeour and squeezed through the crowd and directly into an elevator, and no one dared to have an opinion.

――

"Director Lockhart, you're really early today. In the elevator, someone shouted flatteringly, but Lockhart ignored him.

Lockhart and Scrimgeour both stood at the innermost part of the elevator, silently watching the elevator stop and go. Every time it stopped, a few wizards would leave the elevator, the Magical Law Enforcement Division was on the second basement floor, and the elevator Pen Fun Pavilion was www.biquge.info on the eighth basement floor, so they didn't arrive until they were almost done.

"The second level is the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, which includes the Division for the Prohibition of Misuse of Magic, the Auror Command, and the Wizengamot Governing Body. The empty female voice said.

The two and a few other Executive Division employees walked in from the elevator, Scrimgeour headed for the batter's department, and Lockhart went to find Arthur Weasley. From here the two separated.

Lockhart was unlucky enough to bump into a veteran Death Eater—the man's gloomy, slightly brutal face didn't quite match his ornate, flowing robes trimmed with gold threads, and was the new head of the strike department, Yaxley.

It's a bit of a hassle now, this guy definitely knows the true identity of the fake Lockhart. I'm afraid that I won't be able to fool myself by acting in my true colors, so Lockhart decided to take the initiative to talk.

"Yaxley, did you see Arthur Weasley?"

"Huh?" Yaxley looked over, "no, Mr. Minister, have you found any reason to arrest him?" ”

"No, just ask him something. ”

"Something the master told you to do. ”

"Nope. You just have to tell me if I see him, I'm in a hurry!" Lockhart's mind turned, but he still gave the right response.

"I saw him go to his office. ”

"Hmm. Lockhart pretended to be in a hurry and left him. He was not given the opportunity to continue the conversation about Voldemort's mission to the fake Lockhart.

Shaking off Yaxley, Lockhart breathed a sigh of relief and continued on to the Division for the Prohibition of Misuse of Magic, and after questioning another employee, he found Arthur's office.

――

Arthur was sitting in his office in a daze. Although it stands to reason that he is going to deal with cases of illegal spell casting and misuse of magic items. But in fact, now that the Death Eaters have taken control of the government, many of the violations that would have been dealt with have now become legal. He just didn't dare to strike under pressure, so he came here every day to sit.

"What are you doing!" Arthur looked at Lockhart in disgust, as Lockhart's acquaintance, even if the fake one was played realistically, it could be seen that it was abnormal. In addition, two days ago, it was said on the news that one of the people who defected with the Aurors was pretending to be Lockhart. He had already guessed that Lockhart hadn't really betrayed the Order of the Phoenix.

But now he also thinks the real Lockhart is fake.

Lockhart was afraid that Arthur's office would be monitored or monitored, and he did not dare to reveal his identity directly. "How. Still so fierce?" Lockhart showed a "brutal" sneer: "Do you think that there are many Weasleys in the family, so we don't dare to touch you!" It's just that now that the Order of the Phoenix has been completely defeated, there is no need to kill them all. ”

"Are you threatening me!" Arthur raised his voice angrily, "You impostor, you don't have half the skills of a real Gildero!"

Thanks for the compliment, Arthur. Lockhart said secretly in his heart. "Whatever you think, what if it's a threat to you, a pure-blood traitor is as vile and filthy in my eyes as a hemp wizard. ”

"You-"

"You don't have to argue, I guess we both know we can't convince each other......" Lockhart sat down in the chair across from Arthur, "But I'm here with good intentions, I heard you have two children at Hogwarts?"

"What's the matter, what does this have to do with them?" Arthur raised his eyebrows, he noticed that Lockhart's behavior was a little unusual, but he still cooperated with the acting.

"One is Ron, the other is Ginny, right? Lockhart pulled out a small envelope containing three notes made by Lockhart and three notes made by Scrimgeur, "I heard Severus say that they are not very comfortable at school, these things, please show them, if they violate any of the above - pure-blood status will not protect them." ”

"What can a few children do, you guys are looking for trouble!" Arthur angrily picked up the envelope on the table and stuffed it into a drawer, "What's the matter at me, don't talk about the children!"

"Great fatherly love, Arthur. Lockhart stood up, and he could leave when he was done, "Finally, I have to warn you, if you are contacted by the Order of the Phoenix or the Aurors who are still resisting, you must sue me immediately, or else you will ......" Lockhart sneered a few times and turned to leave Arthur's office.

There shouldn't be any flaws, Lockhart felt to himself, it seemed that Arthur also knew that he was being watched, and if he could be found like this, then he was really useless.

It's already half past eight, and the fake Lockhart usually comes to the Ministry of Magic at ten o'clock, so he must hurry. Coming out of Arthur's place, he didn't meet Yaxley again, he went to the striker department and stood for a few minutes, and when Scrimgeour came out of there, he seemed to be going smoothly - after all, he was looking for an ordinary striker, and he wouldn't be closely monitored like Arthur, who many people knew he was a wizard of the Order of the Phoenix.

The two nodded to each other, tacitly did not speak, and walked straight to the elevator side by side.

"How's it going?" In the elevator downstairs, there were only two of them, so they could talk.

"One promised to help me, and the other was timid, and I erased his memory. Scrimgeour said in an unwavering tone, "Just for insurance, he won't report me." ”

"Alas, you can't force it, this kind of thing, it's useless if there are too many people. Lockhart said helplessly, "Arthur, I gave him three notes, one for himself, one for McGonagall and one for Hagrid. ”

"Hmm. ”

The elevator door opened again, and a slender and beautiful figure entered, and the two stopped talking. Lockhart glanced at her, but was startled!

Compared with a year ago, Hu Xinya looks more spiritual and beautiful, her skin is still no less white than that of a real Caucasian, but her hairstyle has changed from short hair to long hair, with a well-fitting uniform, Lockhart was stunned for a moment when she saw it for the first time.

But as if she didn't know Lockhart, she stood next to the two of them after entering the elevator, not saying a word.

――

"Why are you here?" Lockhart asked after a moment's pause.

"Huh?" she turned her head and glanced at Lockhart suspiciously, as if she had seen him for the first time, and then the expression on her face began to change with a look of surprise, "You're Mr. Lockhart-uh-I mean, you're the real one?"

"Well, what are you doing in England? I have my own ...... of life" Lockhart had a bad premonition, now that he has enough things to do, how can someone who has a relationship with him in China also come to leave a good memory, and then never see each other, isn't it quite romantic......

Seeing that his face was not good, Hu Xinya sneered and laughed: "You misunderstood, I didn't come to you to renew the relationship, I know you have a girlfriend." This time, I just want to thank you for your great contribution to the establishment of the Ministry of Magic in China. ”

"Great contribution?" Lockhart's face immediately softened when he heard that he was not here to cause trouble for himself. "I just sent a letter, where is there any great contribution?"

"Your letter has helped us establish formal diplomatic relations with the European wizarding community. She smiled. "After we used some means to spread the news to the hermit sect, it intensified their internal contradictions at once, and finally those who were in favor of joining the WTO gained the upper hand, and now they have officially taken over the entire Chinese wizarding world. To be precise, there is no hermit sect now, only Chinese sorcerers, and we are now one. ”

"Uh...... Well, it's just a matter of effort, it's supposed to be like this, and I'm very happy for you. Lockhart said dryly, at this time the elevator door opened again, but it was working time, no one wanted to go downstairs, and occasionally someone wanted to come in, and Lockhart was kicked out as the director.
