"Daily Prophet": If you don't change your teachings, the Dementors will cause another tragedy.

Six months ago, the Ministry of Magic faced great criticism and reinstated the surrendered Dementors to guard Azkaban. For half a year, these monsters have been conscientiously guarding the prisoners for the wizards, but in fact they are living by sucking the emotions of these prisoners...... It is regrettable that after a large number of prisoners were released from prison the day before yesterday, these savage, greedy and brutal creatures finally lost control again due to lack of food.

Some say it's a systemic problem, but many more are convinced that the accident was doomed from the moment Minister Lockhart chose to trust the Dementors.

After examining the bodies brought out from the scene by experts from many countries, it can be basically determined that all the 28 prisoners in Azkaban who have not yet been released from prison have all been sucked by the souls of the Dementors and died. After the tragedy, all the Dementors who had not had time to leave the scene were eliminated by the wizarding forces of the Ministry of Magic who arrived, and only a few escaped.

Gilderoy Lockhart, the former Minister of Magic, who was recently praised for his courage in reappointing Dementors to guard the prison, issued an apology to all the victims' families and resigned after reissuing the Dementor extermination order.

Rufus Scrimgeur, Deputy Minister for Magic, who had been strenuously opposed to the former's policy six months earlier, took over as Minister of Magic, and instead of slapping him for the friction and unpleasantness he had with Gilderoy Lockhart, he was able to excuse the latter - Minister Scrimgeour said that he was just too kind to believe the dementors' repentant nonsense, and he even publicly claimed that he was the most suitable candidate to be the head of Hogwarts after Headmaster Snape's resignation.

Gilderoy Lockhart eventually accepted both Hogwarts and the Minister of Magic for the position of Headmaster, and at the same time took up his old profession as a professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts.

Gilderoy Lockhart, the legendary man who defeated the Dark Lord and ended the English Wizarding Civil War, whether intentionally or not, ended up with blood on his hands, although wizards have mixed reviews about him, his contribution to the wizarding world cannot be erased.

This time. The man decided to pay for his mistake and only kept the honorary position of chief wizard of the Wizengamot, no longer involved in any affairs of the Ministry of Magic, and spent the rest of his life training talents for the wizarding world.

――

At 11 Grimaud Street, Lockhart looked up from the newspaper with satisfaction.

Cultivating talent for the wizarding world for the rest of his life sounds good, and Lockhart is happy to do so, but his real desire is to emulate Dumbledore: to hold this position like an honorary headmaster, to enjoy the admiration and adoration of the students, and to leave all the tedious tasks to Deputy Headmaster McGonagall...... And he can be busy with the more important things in the Order of the Phoenix or what he wants to do more. The only trouble is that he has not yet found such a capable and willing vice principal to pay behind the scenes. I can only work hard first, let Hermione go to a Muggle university to study, and then come back to help me when she has enough age and experience.

No longer involved in any affairs of the Ministry of Magic? It's easy to say, Lockhart really doesn't want to be involved anymore, but now every senior official of the Ministry of Magic: either his former Auror colleagues, or loyal friends who fought through the war; in a few decades, every official in the Ministry of Magic will call him a headmaster; even now, every honorary member of the "New Order of the Phoenix" of which he is the leader has a little influence in the wizarding world, and it is not too difficult to influence the world pattern in terms of overall strength.

Lockhart found himself on the verge of overlapping Dumbledore's paths: a naïve and unbearable teenage age. Dumbledore sacrificed a lot for power, Lockhart did a lot of ugly things for fame and money, and he also defeated a Dark Lord when he was not as strong as his opponent, Dumbledore was the opponent's water, and Lockhart was his own side to fight more and less, and both only served as the chief wizard of the Wizengamot. Dumbledore turned down the position of Minister of Magic, and Lockhart directed and staged a play that removed him from power.

Perhaps the biggest difference is that Dumbledore has never wavered in the face of many women who adore him, while Lockhart is almost always unrelenting. It's likely that you'll have to marry three or even four wives......

――

There is only one wizard left in the world who still has the mark of the Dark Devil, and Snape deliberately opened his mouth to protect it, this unlucky fellow. Voldemort will be under the watchful eye of the Aurors until the Ministry of Magic completely destroys him, and his presence can be used to determine whether the Dark Lord is dead or not.

In his heart, Lockhart admits that this "Dementor Accident" is subjectively or essentially a willful revenge, but objectively it does make Britain no longer have a truly stubborn wizard ancestry. All pure-blood families that had leaned toward the Death Eaters had their property confiscated, and almost all the boys and pillars of the family were killed by the Dementors, and although they received large sums of money from Lockhart and the Ministry of Magic afterwards, they could no longer afford to make any waves in the wizarding world compared to the previous super-rich and shouting rain, let alone revenge anyone under the surveillance of the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic.

Lockhart inadvertently widened the gap between men and women in the wizarding world again, and by now, wizards almost no longer discuss the new marriage law, it is already a fact that there are more witches than male wizards, and if two witches are not allowed to marry the same wizard, then each wizard will know at least a dozen witches who are either single or can only marry Muggles- Although it was illegal to discriminate against Muggles, there was no way to eliminate the subconscious contempt of wizards for their own kind who could not use magic, and there were still very few witches who were actually willing to marry Muggles.

――

Pandora finally chose to ease the relationship with Hermione, the two of them were close to each other, there was no conflict, and after accepting the fact that they were each other's family, the relationship quickly became harmonious, and finally chose to live together.

Although Ginny was complacent that it only took a month and a liter of blood to catch up with the best man in the social circle and "the strongest wizard in Britain", she never got her mother's approval. Although the stalemate was in the end, all the family members had acquiesced to her relationship with Lockhart, but in the end, it was really as Lockhart casually said at the beginning, and she didn't get married until she was twenty years old.

――

Although Snape said that he would not be able to start a new life without killing Voldemort completely, he himself had to admit that his new life had actually begun the moment he obtained the Auror certificate and was ready to spend his life searching for the last gold cup.

In the course of his mission, he fell in love with his female boss, Anna Katrina, the Auror deputy supervisor. and married her in the year he was about to turn forty, and completely walked out of the shadow of the past.

――

The power of the Savior's prophecy may have become astonishing over time: Harry was finally dealing with a haunted case in the Muggle world when he found Voldemort attempting to resurrect a Muggle body at the end of his life. After a brief battle and the killing of his old enemy, the Savior found the last Horcrux under the bed of the Muggle family.

――

The Dark Lord was completely dead, and this time, Lockhart no longer had an excuse to continue to cherish the powerful magic in his body, and under Hermione's persecution, he used another batch of Philosopher's Stones made by Snape. At the cost of consuming nearly half of the mana in his body, the curse of unicorn blood was completely removed.

While handling his Horcruxes, Lockhart admits that he has had a craving for something like "eternal life" more than once, but with Nicol Lemay, the "Memory Bearer" in China, and Voldemort...... Under the influence of facts or experience from these three predecessors who have gone very far on the road to eternal life, Lockhart has subconsciously preconceived that eternal life is impossible - then, instead of spending dozens or hundreds of years chasing eternal life may end up in nothing, why not use the remaining 100 years of life and enjoy life?

If you are happy, then the whole family will continue to live with the Philosopher's Stone at that time. If you are tired of living, then face death calmly...... Thinking of this, Lockhart suddenly realized that he had actually conquered death.

Maybe the legend of the Deathly Hallows is more than just a legend......

――

After being a professor of defense and already getting the "New Order of the Phoenix" on the right track. Lockhart began to use his spare time to find a way to repair his soul, and although the curse had been removed, the incomplete soul still made him easily emotionally out of control and easily tempted by various things...... He still has a long way to go in life. Inevitably, he will encounter something more appealing to him than King Galleon, more than the Minister of Magic, more than Gabriel, and even more than Eternal Life, and if he can't control himself by then, he will become a new "Dark Lord". With the resources and connections he has at his disposal, I am afraid that he can directly bring the world into a bad era.

Restoration is always more difficult than destruction, repair magic is always more difficult to learn than lethal magic, and this is true of man-made things, let alone delicate substances like souls.

Lockhart has never been able to find a way to completely repair his soul, and perhaps no one in history has ever faced the same problem as him...... Eventually, he chose to settle for the next best thing, and after improving an ancient magic, he absorbed half of his Horcrux's soul and narrowly restored it to its intact state.

The little golden orb that had once been his Horcrux had lost all of its magic, but Hermione insisted on wearing it around her neck forever as a memento.

"Baby, Daddy is idle and ready to write an autobiography, but the name "Gilderoy Lockhart" seems too earthy, what do you say, what should I give it?" asked Lockhart affectionately with a cute brown-haired girl in his arms.

"You've been writing books for so many years?" Hermione sat at the table with a list of new Hogwarts wizards in her hand, she was now the Deputy Headmaster of Hogwarts and the real steward, handling all the school's big and small affairs, and also serving as a Muggle science professor, and at home, she was also in charge of the preschool education of her two children...... Labor is labor life, and she is the only person in this house who cannot be idle.

"Wouldn't it be nice to call it 'The Strongest Wizard in Britain?'" said the girl on her lap, Minerva Hermione Lockhart, the second child in the family, excitedly, "I must be written at the end of the book!"

"It's too flamboyant, and the name doesn't feel like an autobiography at all, but like a fantasy book that is about to hit the streets. Pandora sat wearily on the couch, she was now a healer at St. Mungo, healing many wizards every day.

"Let's call it "Defense Professor", my three sisters and I were abducted by you when you were a defense professor. Gabrielle, still looking like a girl in her twenties, gave him an angry look.

Xiao Meiwa, who didn't know anything at the time, was thirteen or fourteen years old, but unfortunately she didn't even know a few little boys, so she was "protected" by Lockhart from the fourth grade all the way from the fourth grade to the seventh grade by various means...... I was deceived in a daze, and I lost my body, and I entered the family in a daze. To this day, she occasionally complains that she was deprived of the freedom of love by her husband.

Gabrielle was fluent in French and English, taught herself several Chinese, and became a spokesperson for the Order of the Phoenix after graduation. But just like her sister Fleur joked, she has amazing beauty, even if she doesn't know anything, she only needs to be responsible for "beauty".

"I think that's a good idea!" Loha glanced at her with a grimace, and although he was now largely back to normal from the curse and the after-effects of the Horcruxes, he was not ashamed of using all sorts of shady tricks to get Gabrielle into his hands - if he allowed such a stunner to fly out of his mouth, he would surely regret it for the rest of his life.

"Dad, Uncle Harry became the new Director of the Aurors two days ago, you can put his name in the title of the book, so that many people will want to read it as soon as they see it. It was Alastor Severus Lockhart who spoke, the eldest son of the Lockhart family who had reached the Hogwarts grade level, and in a few days he would be able to have his wand: "Let's call Harry Potter's Defense Professor." ”

"That being said, but nowadays you still need to borrow other people's fame to make your books sell better? Hermione shook her head, "And you have to ask Harry if he agrees first, right?"

"Does he dare to agree? It's a big deal to give him a copy when I'm done. Lockhart laughed. "And, my dear, there is one thing you don't understand if you haven't written a book—no matter how rich or famous, the desire to make readers want to read my books is always what I should do and what I look forward to. ”

"Okay, don't talk about it. Hermione rolled her eyes and continued to read the list of opponents: "You can always tell a bunch of big truths!"

Lockhart smiled, after a few years as a principal, his habit of reasoning with people became more ingrained: "Jim, help me get the computer!"

"Yes, sir!"

The faithful house-elf didn't run around because he was free, and soon brought everything he needed, and Lockhart flipped through his computer and entered the wizard's line to watch the Quidditch World Cup live for a while.

England vs. Bulgaria, although he didn't like to watch the game, Lockhart forced himself to watch for a while, and the British team gradually took a big lead, and now it was time for Ginny or her opponent to catch the Golden Snitch and end the game - this girl who grew up playing with a bunch of older brothers, riding broomsticks, climbing trees and even catching goblins, couldn't calm down at all, and was still the best Seeker in England at almost thirty years old, and was away from home for three days......

There was no suspense in the game, and Lockhart closed the webpage and opened Word. He used other people's stories to dig the first pot of gold in his life, cheated so much money, and finally could write a book that was completely his own story.

He paused, reaching out and tapping down the title: "Harry Potter's Defense Class."
