"Request to search Gringotts?" Scrimgeour looked up strangely from the pile of papers. "Gildero, it's not that I question you, you always have this idea of coming out with a pat on the head, and I don't think the Death Eaters would put anything bad for us in the vault. ”

"I suspect that the mysterious man would hide the Horcruxes in the vault of some pure-blood family in Gringotts...... Lestrange, in particular, that Bellatrix is the most loyal subordinate of the Mysteries. ”

"But she's dead, and we have evidence that her husband, Mr. Lestrange, isn't so much liked by the mystery man. Scrimgeour shook his head, "If the mysterious man gave her the Horcrux more than ten years ago, then she should have taken the Horcrux out when she died." ”

"If there's a line, you should probably search it......"

"If there's a glimmer of possibility, we should search it?" Scrimgeour scoffed, "Then according to your logic, I should search all the vaults of Gringotts, because there is a glimmer of possibility, even the vaults of the Potter family should be searched, maybe the most dangerous place is the safest place that the mysterious man thinks!"

Scrimgeour put away a mocking laugh - he was actually a little suspicious by his own ridicule, if he casually guessed correctly: "The most important thing is - we don't have the power." ”

"The Ministry of Magic doesn't have that power?"

"That's right, according to the Lich Treaty of Friendship and Mutual Assistance signed when the last goblin rebellion was put down. Wizards respect the elven industry, and Gringotts is the largest elven industry. He sighed helplessly. "Usually, you might be able to go in and search hard, but at this juncture, if the goblins revolt again, then the positions and lives of these leaders of the Ministry of Magic will not be guaranteed. ”

"Well, I didn't think it through,......" Lockhart frankly admitted, and he was just passing by Scrimgeur's office and casually mentioning it boringly. "How's that werewolf?"

"He was put to trial, sentenced to death, and executed under the noses of hundreds of wizards. ”

"So ferocious, aren't you afraid of a werewolf uprising? Lockhart asked, a little surprised.

"Werewolves are different from other races, and at least half of the current werewolves are bitten by other werewolves, or his parents are bitten by werewolves. Scrimgeour said coldly: "There are very few werewolves who have really been werewolves for generations, and they all live in the deep mountains and old forests, so they don't have a strong sense of race. ”

Scrimgeour pulled out a form and handed it to Lockhart, then took a sip of his coffee: "Look, this is the werewolf who was re-registered with the Werewolf Office of the Ministry of Magic after the execution of the werewolf, and swore that he would never join the Death Eaters." ”

Lockhart looked at the table for a while, and it looked very good......

"By the way, why haven't you come up with a new book lately, hurry up and write another book about the fight against the Death Eaters, and the Ministry of Magic will help you promote it. Scrimgeour suddenly remembered something: "I don't have any material or anything, so go to the other Aurors and ask, and I will allow you to write it all as if it were your own experience." Remember, in particular, write more about how to deal with dark wizards, we find that ordinary wizards are not willing to read the small list sent by the Ministry of Magic, and presumably they will be willing to read it if you write a book. ”

"Well, I'll take my time......" Lockhart agreed awkwardly, he hadn't put pen to paper for a long time, because he thought the money was enough.

"Go write now, don't always stick to Mr. Minister's granddaughter at work, there will be rumors...... Say what anti-dark magic fighters are obsessed with women or something. ”

“......”

At Scrimgeour's request, Lockhart spent the rest of his summer vacation writing a book called War on the Dark Arts. Written by the beautiful Pandora (who, in fact, was just bored watching Lockhart write a book), dictated by many well-known Aurors (in fact, a bunch of untasking Aurors getting together to blow it), and adding a lot of practical ways to deal with the dark arts (mostly from the Wizard's Self-Defense Manual). With a lot of hype from the Ministry of Magic, it quickly became the best-selling book of the year.

Although some people questioned how the "anti-dark magic fighters" had time to write a book while hunting down Voldemort, Lockhart was already a well-known novelist, so he also passed the test smoothly, but became more famous......

――

Neither Snape, nor the Mundungus nor the Ministry of Magic intelligence had any news of the Hufflepuff Gold Cup, and in the midst of the constant attacks and the news that the "Black Fighters" were leading the Aurors to capture the Death Eaters, a new semester began.

Scrimgeour tried to convince Lockhart to resign as professor and focus on being a hero in the wizarding world, but Lockhart refused due to the fact that the Ministry of Magic could be attacked at any time and that he liked the feeling of being a teacher.

Sitting in the Hogwarts teacher's chair, watching the first-year sorting ceremony below. Contrary to expectations, it may be that because of the anti-dark arts fighters advertised by the Ministry of Magic serving at Hogwarts, the number of students coming to Hogwarts to attend school has increased rather than decreased, and it has reached the normal level of peacetime.

Lockhart was now fully integrated into the professorial circle, and he chatted happily with Flitwick, Slughorn, and the others, commenting on the freshmen below—the little girl was pretty and a beautiful embryo, and the boy looked smart enough to be in Ravenclaw......

After the sorting was over, Dumbledore began to give his annual opening speech again, watching Dumbledore stand tall at the lecture table, sternly warning the students of the whole school, what to pay attention to this semester, Lockhart suddenly felt warm - maybe in the professorship, in a quiet year or two, he will also become the head of Ravenclaw, and then the vice principal...... With her own prestige and strength decades after her growth, McGonagall will be the most likely Headmaster of Hogwarts when she retires.

This is too boring, not suitable for people like themselves with active minds, maybe you should go to the Ministry of Magic to try? With the packaging of an anti-dark magic fighter, at least you can mix with a director, and then use the Fudge family to operate, and the Minister of Magic is just around the corner!

――

"Boom!" a loud bang interrupted Dumbledore's speech and Lockhart's fugue.

"Merlin's beard, what's going on!" Slughorn was startled, "I feel a huge wave of dark magic. ”

The loud noise like an earthquake caused the students to panic, and Dumbledore immediately used a loud spell to control the chances: "Silence! All prefects, take the students of your own house, go back to the common room, immediately!"

"It's Hogwarts' protective magic that has been attacked, and judging by the momentum, there is no doubt that the mysterious man himself has come. Lockhart said sternly, but what can Voldemort do now?
