After saying goodbye to his parents, Lockhart was in a happy mood, he had nothing to worry about, and he was going to run away with his parents. But now that he has managed to change the plot, it shows that there is hope until Dumbledore is killed. He could continue to be his respected professor, and if Dumbledore fell, he would take Pandora to hide abroad, and when the limelight passed, he would be a good man again.

So, it's time to do what Dumbledore told you to do.

Lockhart followed the address to Hermione's house, which was in a very ordinary residential area, not luxurious but also quiet and comfortable, the door was overgrown with unknown plants, and the door was unusually green.

Lockhart knocked on the door, and after a while, a tall, thin man opened the door.

"Professor Lockhart, I'm glad to see you, please come in. Mr. Granger stepped out of the way, "Hermione, your favorite professor is here!"

"What?" Hermione came down the stairs in shorts and a small tank top, "Professor Lockhart! Oh, wait a minute, I'll go back and get dressed." Hermione nervously ran back upstairs.

"Professor Lockhart, it's been a long time since you've gotten more handsome and charming. Madame Granger brought a cup of tea and sat down beside her. "What are you visiting this time?"

"Sir and Madame look youthful too," Lockhart explained with a smile in his compliment, "I think you should have received a letter from Headmaster Dumbledore." ”

"Ah, did you mean that Hermione was going on a school trip? Mr. Granger remembered.

"Yes, only the best students can get such invitations, and Miss Granger was selected without any suspense. Lockhart complimented.

"Thanks, Hermione, she's always worked hard at school, it's time for her to relax. Madame Granger bowed.

At this time, Hermione also changed into a light-colored dress, combed her hair, and walked downstairs, "Professor, why did you come here, did you come to see me?"

"Hey, Hermione, you've had a good summer. Lockhart looked up, and it was rare to see Hermione dressed so ladylike, a little weird, "I think you should be prepared for the school trip arranged by the headmaster." ”

"Ahh ”

"Professor, what is a school trip like at Hogwarts, I mean - how it is organized, what activities are there, what can be learned, etc. Mrs. Granger asked curiously, and Hermione walked over and sat down against her.

"Well, that's right," damn Dumbledore, can't you just make it up in the letter, Lockhart had to play on the spot, "The headmaster will pick out some of the outstanding students every year who have cultivation value, and then take them to places that only wizards can go to during the summer vacation, such as ancient wizards' schools, places where spells are practiced, and so on. ”

Lockhart took a sip and continued, "Sometimes we take them to other wizarding schools abroad to see how they educate to improve the Hogwarts system, and we teach Hermione some more practical and fun spells. In the future, they will be able to work in the wizarding government after graduation, and they can come back to live like Muggles if they want. ”

"Sounds good, Hermione, study hard there, don't just go on a trip. In the eyes of the Grangers, Lockhart was a serious and elegant professor, and they had no suspicion of him.

"I will, Mom. Hermione said obediently.

"Shall you leave to-day, then, Professor?" asked Mr. Granger, "and if time permits, you are welcome to spend the night here." ”

"No, thank you for the invitation, but Mr. Headmaster is waiting for us. Lockhart politely declined.

"In that case, then—Hermione, go and get what you're going to bring with you. ”

"Here~" Hermione picked up a small pouch, "Space bag." ”

"Wizards' stuff is amazing," Madame Granger exclaimed, "and have you brought your clothes, books, and money?" ”

"Don't worry, Mom, you know I have a good memory. Hermione held her head up and said, "Professor, let's go." ”

The Granger couple sent Lockhart and Hermione out the door and watched them leave.

As soon as she left her parents' field of vision, Hermione immediately stopped pretending to be a good girl and put her arm around Lockhart: "Professor, you seem to have something happy about, say it and listen to it." ”

Lockhart was taken aback by Hermione's sudden move: "Oh my God, Hermione, don't do this, I'm the one with a girlfriend now." ”

"It's nothing, Pandora isn't here. Hermione smiled happily at Lockhart, "I didn't want to rob him of his boyfriend. ”

Hermione's smooth and tender arm rubbed against Lockhart's arm, which made Lockhart a little uneasy, but Hermione often came to Lockhart's office to help him reply to letters, and the two were already familiar with each other, so it was not embarrassing.

"I should have thought that the professor was also a member of the Order of the Phoenix," Hermione's tone was cheerful, "after all, the professor is one of the best wizards in the world, how could the headmaster forget about you." ”

"That's an exaggeration, Hermione, I'm just better than the average wizard, but how could the Headmaster let you go to the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix, you're not an adult. Lockhart asked.

"I don't know, maybe you want us to protect Harry. Hermione guessed casually, "Or maybe I'm afraid that the mystery man will arrest me and Ron and threaten Harry?" Professor, is the mystery man really back?"

"Well, yes, so joining the Order of the Phoenix now is something that requires courage, and you need to be prepared to sacrifice," Lockhart said sternly, "Of course, the dangerous thing must be done by us adults." ”

"Is that an exaggeration, isn't the Order of the Phoenix just about protecting Harry?" Hermione was a little surprised.

"Of course not, the Order of the Phoenix was formed before Harry was born, how could it be just to protect Harry. Lockhart couldn't help but laugh, "You just asked me why I'm so happy because of the Order of the Phoenix's recent resounding victory against the Death Eaters. ”

"A huge victory?" Hermione immediately became interested.

"Well, you will definitely participate in the Order of the Phoenix anyway, and I won't keep it a secret from you, so don't tell anyone else. Lockhart had long wanted to sue others, it was rare to do a big thing and not be able to brag about it everywhere, as painful as a night walk in clothes, "Read the newspaper, what's the biggest thing the Ministry of Magic has done lately?"

"Attacked Azkaban, killed almost all of the Death Eaters, and ordered the extermination of the Dementors who worked with the Death Eaters. Hermione has a good memory, "but the newspapers don't mention the Order of the Phoenix." ”

"Hmph, Hermione, you're so smart, can't you think of it," Lockhart said triumphantly, "no one realizes that the Order of the Phoenix did it, and that's what we're most proud of!"

Hermione figured it out after thinking about it for a while, she grabbed Lockhart's hand excitedly, her eyes were starry: "Professor, this is too coooooooooool! The Order of the Phoenix is a secret service organization in the wizarding world, silently protecting everyone without making a noise, this..."

Hermione couldn't even think of an adjective: "It's like a movie, oh my god, I always thought the Order of the Phoenix was just a random organization." ”

"That's right. Lockhart nodded in satisfaction, "So, how do we get to the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix? ”
