After saying goodbye to the historian of magic, the group slipped out of the house in the dark of night, returned to their foothold outside the village, and slipped into their tent to begin their discussion.

"Where did you get the news that someone is trying to kill her?" Blake asked, confused.

"Instinct ......," Lockhart shrugged.

"Nothing, where to go and what to do?" Albert asked, staring at Lockhart.

"I don't have any idea where to go, I'm going to ask where the Savior wants to go, but what to ......do," Lockhart handed Hermione the information Arthur had given him, "Honey, see if there's any way to catch Manjik." ”

"Oh, good. Hermione took the note.

"Want to avenge Mad Eye?" Blake took a sip of hot tea and asked lightly: "To be honest, I don't think it makes much sense to kill him, the mysterious person is the real murderer, and finding and destroying the Horcrux is the right thing." ”

"Do you know who killed Uncle Gadvin?" Albert asked, "and I want to avenge him." ”

"There's going to be a chance, Albert. Lockhart comforted him, "Since we don't have any idea of how to deal with Horcruxes, it's quite possible to deal with a few Death Eaters first, preferably kill them in their homes, and then scan them to see if the Horcruxes are hidden in the homes of these well-known Death Eaters." ”

"But there are so many Death Eaters, even those with the mark of the Dark Devil, there must be twenty or thirty. "If you want to search your family like this, a hundred lives won't be enough." ”

"Of course, so we can't make a double move, first avenge Mad Eye, and then we'll be silent for a while, and think about how to deal with the Horcruxes. Lockhart shares his concerns. "Maybe you can consider going abroad ......"

――

"It doesn't seem like a good thing, Manjik commutes to work by fireplace, and although he occasionally runs out, they've been a lot more careful since the last time the fake Lockhart was assassinated...... "and this important Death Eater must have a Loyalty Charm to protect ...... at home."

"There's no hurry. Think about it slowly. Lockhart said mildly.

"It's Christmas in two days. Albert burst out of nowhere.

"Huh?" Lockhart was puzzled by his words, "Do you still want to celebrate Christmas?"

"Oh, yes! Albert reminded me that it was Christmas in two days. Hermione's eyes widened and she said, "I'm going to have to buy Christmas presents for Christmas, I'm going to have to go out to Diagon Alley, and if he wants to buy something that the wizarding world doesn't have, then he's going to the Muggle city......"

"Very well, there are two weeks left on Christmas, and I told Arthur to pay more attention, and find out where the Manjik manor is, and we can go there and stay there. ”

"Hmm. Hermione seemed to be frightened by herself: "Oh my God." I'm planning a murder with you!"

"Murder ......" Harry was also shocked by the word, "Unconsciously, have we become murderers like the mysterious man, why is this happening?"

"No one knows why this is happening, but troubled times are like this, either you die or I die. Blake said with emotion: "Don't be soft-hearted, the best way to end the war as soon as possible is to end it." ”

"We are judging the murderers, and how can the Aurors kill the Death Eaters count as murder. Albert said. "If we all consider ourselves rebels. That's really no need to resist. ”

"Heh, what if you admit it's murder, but I'm forced. Lockhart said disdainfully, "I don't care what people think of me, a rebel hero or a panic-mongering murderer." I just want to do something to win the war and avenge the comrades I care about. ”

"No, Gildero, you will always be a hero in my heart. Hermione quickly grabbed his arm. Whispers to comfort him.

"Okay, it's not early, let's have some supper and rest. Lockhart naturally ended the conversation. "When you find out the address of the Manjik family, go and squat him. ”

After saying that, he stood up from the bench. Suddenly I remembered Moody, in the past, at the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix, he always announced the dissolution of the meeting, and now it is finally his turn, whether he admits it or not, he now seems to be the new leader of the Order of the Phoenix - Dumbledore and Moody are dead, the older McGonagall is working with the Death Eaters at school to protect the students, Hagrid, Lupin, and Black are all just as good as himself or even worse at leading and commanding, and Snape is ...... Don't talk about it.

――

The next day, Lockhart had already asked Arthur to help find the address of the Manjik family, because he was protected by the Loyalty Charm, and he knew that the address could not do anything to them, and the Manjik family was also an old wizard family, so their address should not be an important secret.

Now just wait for Arthur's news, Lockhart sat in his chair, writing and drawing in his notebook, he was used to discussing with people or listening to the above plans, and now he decided to assassinate a Death Eater alone, and he had to plan well, so that nothing could go wrong.

Hermione, Harry, and Albert were reading the book "The Darkest Wizard: The Life of Dumbledore". While watching, they were still discussing in a quiet and whispered manner.

Lockhart looked up and saw them like this, and couldn't help but remind them loudly: "Guys, that book was written by Rita Skeeter under the control of the Death Eaters, and it is not very credible. ”

Harry glanced up at him, and then stopped.

"But everything in this book has a source and a basis...... "and it looks like that." ”

"As far as I know of her, Gildero......" Hermione looked very sad, "Rita, she never made things out of nowhere, she just took things out of context and misunderstood them...... But there are a lot of things written in the book that upend what we know about principals. ”

"Oh?" said Black, "then don't look at it, I choose to trust Dumbledore unconditionally anyway." ”

"No, it's not a good way to escape, I'll see what is written in the book. Lockhart closed his notes, walked behind the three young men, and worked together on the blackened Dumbledore book.

"The Headmaster was born into a pure-blood family, which is nothing, and pure-blood wizards are mostly good people. Hermione explained to Lockhart what they had just seen: "But it is written that his father, Percival Dumbledore, was a staunch anti-Muggle who had brutally attacked three young Muggles, causing a stir and was imprisoned for life in Azkaban. Then Rita said that Dumbledore was also an anti-Muggle at heart—"

"Whew-my parents were both anti-Muggles, and I'm not with you against the mystery man yet, that's a baseless inference. Blake said disdainfully: "Everyone is an individual, why should his father's business be involved in him?"

"We all know what you're saying, but there's a ...... here," Hermione frowned slightly, "Headmaster Dumbledore has a sister named Ariana - that's the name on the tombstone we saw in the cemetery last night, the book says she's a squib, and the whole family, including the Headmaster, is ashamed of her, and has been locked up in the house to prevent her from coming out to meet people......"

"No way, we've heard Dumbledore say the name Ariana, remember when we destroyed that ring Horcrux, Gildero. Blake said to Lockhart, "The headmaster kept reading the name, and he looked very emotional. ”

The book says that Ariana was later killed by Dumbledore in an accident, for which he and his brother got into a fight at the funeral. Harry couldn't help but speak, "The source is Bathilda Basshat, and Lady Bathilda didn't deny the contents of the book to us last night. ”

"What does this mean? There are three types of Squibs - Lack of Magic, which is not enough to use any spells, Affinity Enough, which is enough to cast spells, but whose magic affinity is too low to cast extremely weak spells, and Ariana, who has been left with a psychological shadow because of something terrible done by those three young Muggles, and whose magic has been out of control and cannot cast spells...... Her magic spirals out of control and even accidentally kills her mother. "They moved and didn't let Ariana go out just to protect the others, because they weren't ashamed of her!"

"Oh, how do you know so much? Maybe you're right...... "But why are Dumbledore and Grindelwald friends......? It wasn't until he realized that he couldn't do anything about it, so he directed a shocking duel between black and white wizards, and finally fulfilled Dumbledore's goal of making him the first white wizard in England, allowing them to continue their plan to unify the world......"

"It's all nonsense, Grindelwald became a dark wizard and Dumbledore has a half-dime relationship, who hasn't been young and frivolous, isn't his friend a good person when he becomes a dark wizard? ”

Lockhart is angry, he is really angry, if a person like Dumbledore will be pulled out and hacked after death, the key is that the people closest to him believe it, then what about people like himself who have a more unbearable past than Dumbledore? Although Dumbledore's past is complicated and tragic, it is only controversial; and as for himself, although the bad things he has done are not big, they are indisputable villains and naked deception and fame, once they are revealed, I am afraid there will not be much controversy.

"Headmaster, how many times did he have the opportunity to become the Minister of Magic, but he gave up, if he really wanted to unify and rule the world with Grindelwald, become the British Minister of Magic, and then control the Muggle government and the cooperation with the German Dark Wizards, wouldn't it have been won long ago? Do you think that just relying on the wizards of the Soviet Union and the United States can deal with Germany and Britain joining forces? As long as the Chinese hermit still does not make a move, no one can stop Grindelwald and Dumbledore from joining forces, and the pattern of the world has already changed!"
