"It's been a great summer vacation, Professor," said Pandora, happily, "and I'm going to make up my summer homework in ten days, so I'll see you at the beginning of school." ”

"Okay, dear, I love you. Lockhart kissed Pandora, and this time the minister's loyalty spell was reset again, and Lockhart had no choice but to send Pandora to the door.

"I love you too. ”

Connelly's warning ball to Lockhart didn't go off, which meant the situation was still under control, which was also expected by Lockhart. After sending Pandora home safely, Lockhart returned to the Order of the Phoenix headquarters.

At this time, Cyris Black was the only one living here. The others were either in their own homes or protecting Harry, and Lockhart was overjoyed to be back.

"Gildero, it's good to see you back, I'm so lonely to death!" the man looked up and said to Lockhart happily, "I've almost finished reading your book." ”

"Oh my God, Siris, aren't you looking for a girlfriend, you're ...... Thirty-five or thirty-six. Lockhart was surprised that the handsome old man Cyris didn't go out for an affair.

"That's not a hurry, let's wait for Harian to come of age safely. Cyreth smiled sheepishly.

"You're almost forty then! you're not a single nobleman, you're an old bachelor!" said Lockhart, "hurry up." ”

"Well, let's talk about it. ”

Cyris himself was not in a hurry, and Lockhart was too lazy to care about him. Lockhart took out the gift he brought to Cyris from his space bag: "Come on, I brought a gift from China." A couple of clothes, some souvenirs, oh, and a painting that you can use to block the portrait on the wall over there......"

"Wow, so much stuff. Most of them were unseen by Siris, and he studied them with great interest.

"It's all Muggle stuff, it's worthless. Lockhart said with a smile.

Leaving Cyris downstairs with great interest in the gifts he had brought from China, he went upstairs and pulled out the hidden Slytherin pendant from his room.

The small green snake glitters on the surface of the pendant, and it seems to have a breathtaking power. Lockhart pulled out the Soul Collector and placed the pendant on it.

Whether it was a pendant or a leather soul charm, there was no response.

Sure enough, it's not that simple, try to inject some magic power into the talisman? After injecting the magic power, the soul collection talisman emitted a strange magic power fluctuation, and the pendant on it shook uneasily, but nothing happened.

Lockhart crumpled the talisman into a ball and wrapped the Horcrux, hovered the talisman above the pendant and injected magic power, attacking the Horcrux first and then covering the talisman...... I've tried all kinds of methods, but they still don't work.

Could it be that this thing had to be opened in snake language before destroying the soul inside with the soul collection charm? This was the most reasonable guess at the moment, and Lockhart had to put both things away, one by his side and the other in his room.

When he went downstairs, Cyris Black was trying to hang the Chinese painting Lockhart had given him on the wall to block the swearing portrait of his mother. House-elf Cretcher stood aside with the curtain he had just taken off, looking at Lockhart viciously. Obviously, he had been ordered not to swear, but his mouth was still squirming slightly......

"Have you been living alone all this time? ”

"Yes, Remus and Tonks have gone to live together in Hogsmeade, and there is no one to accompany me. After finally hanging up the Chinese painting, Cyris clapped his hands and climbed down from the chair. "It's a good picture you bought, Gildero. ”

"That's a must, the internationally renowned writer Gilderoy Lockhart has chosen for you, and it will make this room look sunny. ”

"Huh. Cyreth pouted.

A white doe pierced through the wall and came to Lockhart, curled into a ball of light. Lockhart wondered if it was Harry or Snape's Patronus, and he gently activated the silver light with his magic.

Snape's gloomy voice came from within: "Gildero, see you tomorrow morning at eight o'clock in the morning at the Grimaud Place coffee shop." ”

The Patronus dissipated after saying this. Leaving only the inexplicable Lockhart, what the hell, did he have such a good relationship with Snape, and as soon as he came back, he hurried to find out why. Lockhart was a little baffled, could it be that Snape had already made the Philosopher's Stone, where did the unicorn blood without the power of the curse come from?

"Huh-" Cyris made a disdainful sound.

"Why, do you want to go with me too? ”

"I won't go when he tells me to go!" said Cyrith with a disgusted expression, the two of them have not dealt with each other since childhood, and Lockhart can understand it.

At night, Lockhart was lying in bed, and Dumbledore also contacted him with a note: "Gildero, are you still enjoying your trip?"

Lockhart: "It's not bad that you didn't give me a task. ”

Dumbledore: "Very well, don't run around for the next two days, I'll look for you in two days." ”

Lockhart: "As you wish. ”

Lockhart realizes that the easy days are coming to an end because he is back in the war zone......

I slept peacefully all night, and when I woke up, it was almost eight o'clock. Lockhart hurriedly cleaned himself up with his magic, and without saying hello to Blake, he went out to the coffee shop in the square.

It was only after a trip to China that Lockhart realized how bad the weather was in the UK. It was obviously a summer morning, but it was foggy and cold outside, and there was no one on the street, only the garbage left yesterday was blown and rolled by the wind on the stone floor, and a thick bleak atmosphere came to the face, and the atmosphere was as gloomy and ominous as late autumn.

Walking into the coffee shop, Lockhart easily found Snape with the shine from his black hair, but he wasn't alone.

"Gildero, you're here. Narcissa Malfoy stood up and nearly knocked over her chair.

She hurried over to Lockhart, hugged him as he stiffened, and seemed to want to kiss him, but Lockhart avoided him.

"Narcissa, we don't have anything to do with each other anymore!" Lockhart said sternly, "we were both adults back then, and we both knew that it was just playing, and you don't deny it." ”

"Oh...... Of course...... "Narcissa choked up, "that's right. ”

"It seems - your holiday life has made you lazy, Gildero. Snape didn't move, and raised his eyelids to glance at Lockhart, "You're five minutes late." ”

"I'm sorry, Severus. Lockhart had planned to send some Chinese specialty to Snape, but there was an unexpected person, so he would either send Narcissa an extra one, or simply bring it out later.

After Narcissa sat down, Lockhart sat down against Snape.

A Death Eater and a Order of the Phoenix double agent, a Order of the Phoenix member, a Death Eater, sitting here drinking coffee, what is this singing? Lockhart suddenly remembered, he knew why Narcissa was looking for him.
