"I'm willing to make this vow. Dao Lishi was the second to express his position, he had just doubted another person, so he naturally wanted to make his position clear.

"The Aurors Handbook states that the Aurors are at a critical moment, in order to save their lives...... It is possible to surrender. Scrimgeour said, "Is surrender a betrayal? Above all, it is rude to force a man to swear by his life." ”

"But just now Gildelow swore an oath!" Hermione said angrily, "It's very simple, swear voluntarily, and change the content of the oath to not actively betray, isn't it?"

"Well, I'm willing to swear too. Scrimgeour had actually supported Hermione's idea from the beginning, and there was no safer way to secure loyalty than swearing by his life - but he couldn't just say that he wanted to force everyone to swear, and now that he had a step, he immediately went down the line. "Then voluntarily swear an oath, and swear that I will not take the initiative to join the Ministry of Magic under the control of the Death Eaters, and I will be the first to come!"

"I can swear too!" Kingsley no longer spared words like gold.

It is said that it is a voluntary oath, but the content of the oath is so lenient...... If there is no special idea, someone takes the lead and most of the people are willing to swear - once most of the people around them have sworn an oath, the rest of them are "morally bound", and in this unknown grove of the Scottish wilderness, more than forty excellent wizards, all swearing with their lives, decide to fight the Death Eaters to the end. This time, the Aurors Division and the Order of the Phoenix have merged into one, truly sharing honor and disgrace, life and death.

"Why don't we go back to the Loyalty Curse...... Harry said sadly, "not at headquarters, but also elsewhere." ”

"After the Ministry of Magic was taken over, the Dash of Allegiance was no longer safe!" Scrimgeour sighed as he explained, "The most powerful protection of the Dash of Loyalty comes from the power of the Ministry, and now that our Ministry of Magic has collapsed - the new Ministry of Magic will not protect us with the Dash Spell, which means that our Dash of Loyalty Spell has all become pirated, and the most powerful obfuscation and protection abilities have failed. Although it can still make the house invisible, other wizards can force the house to attack it once they know the location, and even break the guardian charm and walk directly through the gate. ”

"So we can't stay in a fixed place for too long, we have to keep moving all the time. Kingsley's dull voice came.

"Well, why don't you go home and settle your family, the mystery man may grab your family and threaten us. ”

"When you become an Auror, you will know, the Aurors have no family information on the information left by the Ministry of Magic, and we will all hide our families, which has become a habit. ”

"Don't worry about the Aurors, Harry. Blake patted Harry on the shoulder, "The Auror Command is a great department, I was hunted by the Aurors when I escaped from Azkaban, I know how good they ......"

Kingsley curled his lips and smiled unkindly, he had been involved in the hunt for Blake back then, and even if he had released some water, Blake had almost been caught by the other Aurors. Thankfully, Lockhart was able to capture Peter, and after interrogating him, the Ministry of Magic rehabilitated Blake.

"Thank you, Mr. Black, for your affirmation, it's not early, let's rest early, there are not many tents, just squeeze in. Scrimgeour stood up, "We're going to leave tomorrow morning to find a safe place to destroy the Horcrux, and then find a way to uncover the Death Eaters' plots. ”

"Okay, then let's rest, I'll take a nap in the afternoon, I'll keep vigil first. Moody's said.

Everyone stood up, in order not to attract the attention of the shopkeeper, the "buyer" only bought three tents, but the wizard naturally has the means of a wizard, and the space in the magic tent is still not small, and the crowd can still sleep forty people.

Hermione followed Lockhart to her feet and walked to the tent.

"Hermione, go sleep in the lady's room. Lockhart spotted Hermione following him.

"Why can't I sleep with you?" Hermione said sadly.

"Okay, don't make trouble, I'm going to squeeze a cubicle with a few men, I'm reluctant if you're not afraid of being taken advantage of. Lockhart shook his head, "Well, don't be disobedient. ”

"Okay......" Hermione blushed slightly as someone else smiled kindly at her, and turned back to find the cubicles assigned to the Aurors.

The next day, when Lockhart woke up, several women had already prepared breakfast, and someone even stopped an owl and snatched two new copies of the Daily Prophet from it. By the time Lockhart emerged from his tent, a bunch of people were already reading the newspaper while drinking milk (bought from a nearby Muggle).

Hermione put her arm around Lockhart's neck and gave him a good morning kiss before bringing him a breakfast. Lockhart also gathered around to see what new news was available.

The newspaper was a large photograph of a familiar hook-nosed, dark-haired man glaring at them. The title above is:

Severus Snape officially takes over as Headmaster of Hogwarts

Here are some of his inaugural testimonials......

"Severus Snape, a veteran Potions teacher at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, has been appointed Headmaster today, the most significant of several personnel changes at this ancient school. The Muggle Studies class will be taken over by Alector Caro, and her brother Amicus will replace Gilderoy Lockhart as Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher. ”

"That man, he killed Professor Dumbledore and sat in his place again!" Harry was furious, "Snape is the most despicable and shameless guy I've ever met, but you've all trusted him so much before! How many times have I said-"

"Well, Harry, we trust him because Dumbledore trusts him. Now Mr. Headmaster has paid for his mistakes. Blake shook his head and pressed Harry to sit down, "There's no point in you being angry now, try to improve your strength and avenge the Headmaster." ”

"That's right, Harry. Hermione looked at him, "I'll be with you every day in the future." ”

Lockhart didn't participate in the discussion about Snape, eating bread and reading several other newspapers.

The Ministry of Magic continues to refuse non-staff visits today, Lockhart guesses that it is Dumbledore's "Arcane Explosion Nova" that has caused damage to the hall of the Ministry of Magic that has not been repaired, and the Ministry of Magic has been closed to the outside world for two consecutive days, which obviously has also made some bad speculation in the wizarding world, but the fake Lockhart comes in handy at this time.

"The new Director of the Executive Division, Gilderoy Lockhart, with the support of the Minister, has begun to implement a new policy to strengthen the regulation of non-human creatures, and to prepare for a nationwide registration of wizards. Lockhart thought about his new policy, and realized that the fake Lockhart was a very radical wizard, just as unfriendly to non-human creatures as he was.

"Are they trying to persecute the elves......" Hermione said sadly, sitting next to Lockhart.

"Well, Hermione, don't be overloaded with compassion at this time...... Do you know why the Ministry of Magic requires wizards to re-register? ”

"Want to capture the Aurors' families? I don't think it's a good idea to re-register. ”

"No, they're going to do something to Muggle-born wizards...... Lockhart shook his head, "You probably won't be able to register and then you let your guard down and write that your parents are Muggles, and in two days you'll be missing or arrested!"

"But why should they be hostile to wizards born in Muggle families, aren't they all wizards? Hermione didn't understand, "Muggle-born wizards are also very good." ”

"Because the Death Eaters believe that wizards are a superior species than Muggles, wizards should rule Muggles completely!" Moody interjected, "Although the Ministry of Magic has also exerted some influence on the Muggle government before, in general, wizards and Muggles are still at peace...... If wizards were to enslave and rule Muggles in the open, the Mote wizards were the biggest obstacle - because Muggle-born wizards could hardly help but sympathize with Muggles and help Muggles. ”

"No, the most important thing is actually the existence of the hemp wizards, which challenges the Death Eaters' pure-blood theories, and proves that wizards and Muggles are actually the same species...... In short, it makes the theories of the Death Eaters unjustifyable. ”

"Actually, I feel like they just have nothing to do and let the brain-dead of those pure-blood families vent some of their excess energy...... Or maybe they felt that there were too many wizards, and that it would make the future wizards dominate the Muggle social structure top-heavy and dilute their interests?"

"Look at this, the newspapers have begun to denounce the International Wizarding Secrecy Act...... One guy said it was a product of the cowardice of the wizarding world at the time, and wizards shouldn't hide themselves-"
