"That's it, Professor!" exclaimed Ginny.

Lockhart winked at Ginny and said happily, "Well, you talk, I'll go first." ”

"Where are you going, Professor. Hermione asked.

Lockhart walked to the door and turned around, but instead of answering Hermione's question, he quickly pulled out his wand - "Dementor!"

Poor Harry was about to say goodbye to Lockhart, but he was attacked again.

...... In the abandoned classroom, Umbridge storms in and demands that they disband HA...... Hermione was deducted points for talking back to her...... Then they went back to their dormitories...... Neville discovers a magical place, the Room of Requirement......

Harry managed to resist Lockhart's invasion with all his might, and he almost fell to the ground sweating, but Ginny hugged him.

"Yes, Harry, but it's too slow, you obviously forgot what I said, always be on your toes!" Lockhart put away his wand before answering Hermione's question, "I'm going out to do something, you can't help, get ready for school." ”

When Lockhart returned to his room, he found that Brother George had followed him.

"Hey, do you really want to learn Occlumency from me?" Lockhart sat down on the bed and looked at the twin brothers.

"Professor, we have something we want to ask you for help with. ”

"And it's a thing where everybody can get rich. ”

Lockhart smiled, he didn't lack money at all, but he didn't mind having more money: "Let's hear it." ”

"We want to open a toy store in Hogsmeade, but we don't have enough money, and we want to ask you to borrow some money. ”

"Toy store? Hogsmeade, so you must have some money, where did you get it?" Lockhart asked curiously, "Why don't you open it in Diagon Alley?"

"The prize money for the Triwizard Tournament was split equally between Harry and Diggory, and Harry gave us the money...... We want to open Diagon Alley too, but we still have to go to school!"

"I see," Lockhart rubbed his chin, "but why do you think that a professor would support you in opening a shop that sells skipping candy? ”

George and Fred immediately rushed up, one of them grabbed Lockhart's arm and coquettishly said, "Professor, we promise that we won't make truant candy our main business!" "If needed, we will register the names of all the students who bought truant candy and give it to you!"

- If Ginny and Hermione were to be spoiled like this, he would have enjoyed it. But the words of two boys who are not cute...... Lockhart was terrified by the two of them, and immediately surrendered: "Okay, good, how much do you want." ”

"Just know that the professor is a good person!"

"A thousand gold Galleons is enough!"

"So much!" Lockhart pulled out the parchment to give them a magic invoice, "Do your parents know about this?"

"Professor, don't tell our parents!"

"We can give you a share!"

"I guess so, Arthur and Jasmine have always wanted you to graduate and work at the Ministry of Magic!" Lockhart handed them the check, "but I don't care if your grades are affected by the bad news, you know!"

"Got it, Professor!"

"Welcome to visit!"

Lockhart wasn't very supportive of the brothers doing this, but they were both adults, and if it was only a thousand Galleons, he had no reason not to borrow it, and it was because he intervened in the game last year, and although he saved Diggory, Harry could only take half of the prize money instead of winning the championship, which was a bit embarrassing to say.

Lockhart almost forgot what he wanted to do next, and after sitting in bed for a few minutes, he slapped his head and remembered. Lockhart is going out to find Moody, and if possible, he hopes that he can accompany him to France to deal with the giants.

――

"Scrimgeour promised you? With his temper, how could it be. Moody was surprised, "Did Dumbledore make you do this?" ”

"I've always been good at convincing people," Lockhart bragged, "and I did it myself, and that old fellow Dumbledore would never let me hurt a giant." ”

"I support you in principle, little Gidero, that such a matter that threatens our cause and our lives should not be judged by morality, much less by mercy...... That's an exaggeration. Anyone else goes?" Moody was referring to the other members of the Order of the Phoenix.

"No, it's all Aurors who go this time, they haven't been professionally trained, and they can only drag their feet when they go. ”

"Well, I haven't been to France before, so I'll go with little Gildero!" Moody said as he moved in his chair to make himself more comfortable.

"This isn't for fun!" Lockhart argued weakly, for in Moody's eyes, he would always be the eighteen-year-old Auror applicant.

After that, Lockhart went to the Ministry of Magic a few more times to get to know the people of the event, and Scrimgeour was already arranging a way for them to infiltrate France, and they would leave in a few days.

During these last few days, Lockhart brushed up on his French, and although there were several meetings with the Aurors on his trip, it was always a good idea to be prepared.
