"I'll make a few more notes, Ginny, when you go back to school, remember to bring one for both Professor McGonagall and Hagrid...... Lockhart hesitated, he wanted to bring a note to Snape as well, but he didn't know how to tell the children, and he was afraid that Voldemort would find something by forcibly taking Snape's mind. "Ginny, Ron, don't just think about causing trouble for Snape next semester, it's useless. What you have to do is pretend to be well-behaved, and then secretly organize the members of the original H.A., and even recruit reliable new members, train in the Requirement Room, and you can pull them out and use them as a real army at a critical moment......"

"Well, we'll try to do what you say, Professor. Ginny obediently agreed.

"What can we do...... Professor Lockhart. Fleur asked, as a good witch, she also wanted to help.

"Are you still working at the bank?"

"No, the bank is now taken over by the Death Eaters, and all that can be done by wizards is left to wizards, except for tasks that must be completed by elves. Security, what...... "Fleur shook her head, "Those idiots were circling around me like flies all day, I couldn't stand it anymore, so I quit with Bill." ”

"Well, then there is less you can do, so visit all the wizards you know and feel you can trust. "Be cautious about giving them some information to see if you can win their support." If you encounter someone who is more knowledgeable about magic, ask if there is a way to cause great damage in an instant. ”

Lockhart then told them about the various circumstances of the two or three months of exile: being surrounded and suppressed, scattering, reuniting, trying to destroy the Horcruxes, assassinating Manjik, who killed Moody, etc......

When talking about the story of the "single-handed" escape with Voldemort, Hermione tearfully complained to everyone: how Lockhart swore that there was absolutely no problem, and then two minutes later she was beaten by Voldemort and lay half-dead on the ground in the woods, and how she was so scared that she didn't sleep well for days.

At Ginny's insistence and the curiosity of others, Lockhart showed them the eight-inch-long scar Voldemort had left on him, causing a wave of amazement. The awe and adoration in the eyes of the crowd even deepened a little when they looked at him. Mondongues, on the other hand, was stunned, and Lockhart persuaded him for a long time that he would only need to gather some gossip to let him recover.

――

The group stayed in the Shell Hut, and Lockhart made a lot of contact notes, giving one to all the members of the Order of the Phoenix like Dumbledore, and his current total magic power is probably close to that of Dumbledore in his lifetime. But the peripheral members scattered among the people have completely lost contact, because Lockhart doesn't have their list, I'm afraid the list only exists in Dumbledore's mind, but it's a pity. However, since Dumbledore didn't specifically dictate the list to him, he also felt that these peripheral members of the Order of the Phoenix played a limited role......

Lockhart had secretly asked Flemban if there was anything she could do to tell Pandora in France to be safe or to tell her to be careful. It's a pity that I only got a roll of her eyes and a negative answer.

――

The assassination of the current "Auror Director" under the protection of the Cruelty Charm on Christmas Eve easily caused an uproar in the wizarding world, and the Ministry of Magic issued policies and notices to help people avoid the dangers of Harry Potter and Gilderoy Lockhart, the "most hidden descendants of the Dark Wizards......

Of course, there is also a very important thing - every night, Lockhart will secretly take out his Horcrux, look at it for a while, and then carefully add a layer or two of protective magic to it. The reason why Horcruxes are so difficult to destroy. It's because a large amount of protective magic is piled up on a small object, and the protection per unit area is extremely strong, but this strength is not without a price...... First of all, the Horcreature is too small, and it takes a lot of energy to attach powerful protective magic. Light is not useful, but also a variety of types, can resist corrosion, high temperature and high pressure, and so on...... The most troublesome thing is that it is difficult for one magic circle to run in another magic circle, and it is necessary to protect a lot of magic without conflicting with each other. It's a university question.

Lockhart racked his brains, and the Horcruxes he made were only at the level of Voldemort's diary...... No matter how demanding it is, it will require a lot of time and energy to study, and this is unrealistic. There's no need: there aren't a bunch of good wizards trying to destroy their own Horcruxes, and so far no one even knows they've made them.

In addition to finding a way to protect his Horcruxes, Lockhart had other worries: Dumbledore's other conjecture about Horcruxes had been confirmed by his own experiments, and as much as the increase in mana, the effects of making Horcruxes on the human mind had exceeded expectations.

He seems to have become emotionally unstable, and his resistance to Voldemort's Horcrux effects has greatly decreased. Not only that, but he also seemed to become more easily distracted and his memory deteriorated—he was always doing something and forgetting what he was doing.

It is no wonder that Voldemort has changed from the cruelty and coldness of his youth to the tyranny he is now, and it seems that splitting souls also "contributed" to this......

He didn't have much to study when it came to the soul aspect. But now he could barely touch that crown, and even if he was close enough, he felt intense fear and anxiety. Fortunately, Hermione was willing to keep it for him for a longer time, she was a sane girl...... Except for the fact that he always can't control his emotions when he encounters Lockhart, an emotional nemesis, he is rarely affected by Horcruxes.

"The best training is actual combat, the kind of combat practice between classmates in school is simply a trick, now you have to fight with me or Cyris and Remus, and strive to become a combat force as soon as possible. ”

Of course, although their training tries to simulate actual combat, it can still only be carried out with white magic, because while black magic pursues powerful lethality, control is relatively neglected, and powerful tricks are often difficult to control, and it is simply a luxury to want to be merciful.

"If you want to survive war, you must not only use the fighting instincts you have trained, but also remember-" Lockhart said to several children standing on the beach, "Don't be soft when it's time to use dark magic, even Headmaster Dumbledore, who was once known as the First White Wizard, I can guarantee that he will surpass a dozen powerful dark magic." ”

Training close to real guns, although after all, it is not as good as real combat, but the combat ability of several children is still growing rapidly...... Albert aside, he had been trained as an Auror in his early years, and he was already a powerful wizard, the Savior seemed to be genetically good and his skills were improving, and Ginny and Ron were no slouch either. - Only poor Hermione, who seems to be born with little fighting nerves, can skillfully cast any spell, but just can't beat anyone.

It turned out that it couldn't compare to the "savior" Harry, but now with Ginny and Ron, it is still at the bottom...... It made her very frustrated. Of course, no amount of frustration can suppress the joy and excitement of being Lockhart's wife. Besides, Lockhart doesn't have high requirements for her, as long as she can beat an ordinary wizard, she doesn't need others to worry about her when she fights.

They trained on this beach for more than a week before Tonks' baby was born.

"Born, born, born!" Lupin shouted as he burst through the door, and the whole shell hut was filled with cheers and sighs of relief. Both Hermione and Fleur screamed, "Congratulations!" and Ron said, "Oh my God, a newborn!" as if they had never heard of such a thing before.

"Yes - yes - a boy. Lupin said it again, and seemed overjoyed. He walked over and hugged Lockhart to show his gratitude to Lockhart for driving them home. "I don't dare to bring it to the apparition to come over, the child can't bear it......"

"Of course, Dumbledore didn't dare to apparition the baby," Lockhart said happily, "Congratulations anyway." ”

"You have promised to be my child's godfather. ”

"Of course, I look like I'm going to regret it. ”

"Don't be discouraged, Syreth, you'll be the godfather of the next child!" Lupin turned to Black.

"Let's talk about it...... I already have a savior son, as if I were rare. He feigned disdain and said, "What's your name?"

"Teddy Remus Lupin," he said excitedly, "Teddy is Dora's father's name. ”

Bill brought out the wine, and Fleur persuaded Lupin to have some with the others.

"For, Teddy Lupin, a ...... with a legendary godfather," said Lupin, "a great wizard growing!" Bill quickly filled all his glasses, and everyone stood up and raised their glasses in celebration.

"Who does he look like?" asked Fleur excitedly.

"I think he's like Dora, but Dora thinks he's like me. The hair was not much, and it looked black when I was born, but I swore it would turn turmeric after an hour, and probably be golden by the time I returned. Andomeda said Tonks' hair began to change color on the first day he was born. Lupin drank his down, "Oh, another drink." He added with a smile, and Bill added another drink.

The winter evening sea breeze whipped against the cottage, the fire jumped and crackled, and Bill quickly opened another bottle of wine. The news that Lupin brought with them seemed to have forgotten themselves and temporarily liberated them from their depressed state: the news of the birth of a new life was always uplifting, even after this baby, the golden age of wizarding had just ended, and the difficult years for the wizards of the Order of the Phoenix were slowly unfolding.
