Chapter 407: Investigation (1)

The day after Lockhart's visit to Scrimgeour, the British Ministry of Magic publicly declared that it would ignore any suspicions as long as the Dementors were willing to surrender.

However, the disgusting creatures apparently stayed with the Death Eaters and did not surrender immediately, and Lockhart was slightly disappointed, but did not think much of it......

――

A few days later, the French Ministry of Magic broke the news that several Death Eaters who had escaped from England had kidnapped the families of several high-ranking Ministry of Magic officials in France, and secretly threatened these officials in an attempt to force them to use means to get the French wizarding government to pressure Britain to release their accomplices.

Fortunately, the hostages were held in a Muggle wooden house, and they only used magic on the doors and windows, forgetting to reinforce the walls, and the hostages seized the opportunity to break a broken wall and escape.

This incident brought the reputation of the Death Eaters in the French wizarding world to a complete stink, and Lockhart finally shut up a country for a while.

But the story was far from over, and a few days later an even bigger news spread across Europe: the German Minister of Magic's wife and two children had been kidnapped by several wizards who claimed to be Death Eaters, and the kidnappers demanded that they trade them for members of several prominent Death Eaters who had been arrested by the British Ministry of Magic - and the two countries were negotiating over the matter. The Germans wanted to escort the wizards on the list first, but the British rejected the request outright, offering to send the Aurors into the country to help rescue the hostages and capture the fleeing Death Eaters.

――

If the Germans agreed, then the head of the British Department of Magical Law Enforcement would take people over with a generous attitude, rescue the hostages, and then capture the "Death Eaters" back home. If you don't agree, Martin will also sneak into Germany with a team of Aurors to complete the above operations.

Either way, Lockhart doesn't have to worry about the rest of the matter.

――

At the moment, he is in high spirits as an Auror instructor.

"Today I'm going to test your camouflage and reconnaissance skills. Lockhart said. "I'll have lunch with Hermione at the restaurant across the street, and all you two have to do is find a way to sneak into the restaurant and eat on the same floor as we are, as close to us as possible, and make sure I don't recognize me. ”

"It's so easy!"

Lockhart grinned, "Don't be so confident—Hermione, let's go order food first, and give the two little Aurors a little time to prepare." ”

――

"Gildero, aren't Harry and Ron here yet?" Hermione sat there and looked uneasily into the street after ordering. It seemed more nervous than the two boys who participated in the expedition in person.

"If they're either already sitting around us, they're not ready. Lockhart cut a steak for her, "But I don't think the former is possible, let's eat well." ”

"Hmm. ”

Lockhart turned his head to look at the door of the restaurant, but no one had entered, so he withdrew his eyes and carefully studied the girl sitting across from him, who would be with him for the rest of his life if nothing else.

Hermione had grown up completely, and her face was completely devoid of childishness, but instead looked a little sharp: her face was clearly lined. Eyebrows, corners of eyes, nose, corners of mouth. It's all slender...... Pointed and delicate, even the face shape is small and delicate without losing the edges and corners, the only fly in the ointment is a little light freckles between the lips and nose - because she spends too much time taking care of the brown hair that fluffs up with casual movements, she basically does not wear makeup on her face.

But she's too "good...... It's not just kindness. The face is also kind, and her gentle expression makes her well-defined face look not stiff or fierce, but can make people can't help but feel close. Generally. Although she is not as captivating as Furong, she is still a very attractive beauty.

"Don't stare at me—" Hermione said with a little uneasy staring, "haven't seen enough at home?"

"I've been busy in the room looking at the rest of you......" Lockhart whispered with a wicked expression, "but now I see that Severus gave you the nickname that is not wrong at all, and you really look good with a frown." ”

"you—" Hermione looked a little embarrassed, "Gildero, ask you something." ”

"Huh?" the wife suddenly became serious, and Lockhart didn't dare to smile anymore: "What's wrong." ”

"What if...... I mean, if Ginny still wants to marry you now, will you marry her?"

"Huh?" Lockhart was bewildered by the sudden topic, and for a moment he thought that he had discovered something bad he had done to Gabrielle. "Ginny's aphrodisiac has been lifted. ”

"I know—but she's been a little bit abnormal these two days. Hermione leaned over and whispered, "She seems to be playing with me—"

"Isn't it good that you two have a good relationship, do you need to be close?" Lockhart gave a strange expression, "It was my fault for the aphrodisiac before, don't be angry with her." ”

"As soon as she apologized to me, I made it clear that I forgave her!" Hermione interrupted him, "but she still rubbed over at every turn for the past two days, a bit like trying to please me, I'm your wife, maybe she's trying to detour-"

"She didn't show any liking for me, don't be cranky. Lockhart said categorically, and then his eyes lit up, "Harry, Ron, come here!"

Hermione was startled, turned to look at the door of the store, and saw two strange men staring at this side in a daze, how did they recognize Harry and Ron Gildero?

The two men obediently walked over to Lockhart and Hermione's table, looking convinced.

"How did you recognize us, Professor? "It's Harry who listens to the voice.

"The first point is that you didn't hide your magic well, but I wanted to pretend that you didn't find it, after all, it's not that you did something wrong to show it, but you have to practice more. Lockhart raised his fork and pointed at them and said, "Second, as soon as you enter the door, you see what I'm doing, it's too obvious, there are so many people in this room—"

"Because you're too handsome, can't you!" Ron was a little unconvinced.

"Well, let's say someone looks at me because I'm too conspicuous, but when I look at you, you suddenly shrink back and look sneaky......"

"Because you are so imposing, ordinary people dare not look at you!"

"Can't you just listen to Gilderoy honestly, don't be forceful!" Hermione frowned.

"One more thing, what do you two mean by wearing such handsome! Are you afraid that others won't know that you two are the most 'elite' Aurors in the Ministry of Magic!

"Uh...... All right. ”
