The Philosopher's Stone was finally made, and this is something that spans the whole story, which is both trivial and extremely important.

After sending the two philosopher's stones to the Chinese wizard, Zhang Jianshuo finally patted him on the shoulder and promised him that as soon as he found a trace of Voldemort, he would immediately take his senior brother with Lockhart to deal with him.

After consulting with Anna, who is temporarily in charge of the Transportation Division, Lockhart assured Lockhart that she would be on the front line to urge the construction crews to get to work, and that the network could be fully connected in two days at the earliest.

Lockhart relayed the news to Martin, telling the Aurors and the Strikers to be ready, and once Floo was connected, the Ministry of Magic would begin to deal with matters and cases across the country - the new wizarding law did make a large number of wizards willingly register and accept management, but there were still many dark wizards with criminal records who still insisted on going their own way. Coupled with the fact that the Strikers and Aurors are trapped around London by Floo Network, the illegal wizarding activities in the field are becoming more and more blatant......

――

"Gabrielle, the professor has been very busy these two days, so he won't teach you English, so read the book by himself. Lockhart said to Little Meiwa with a smile.

"Oh, well. Gabrielle obediently sat down in the chair across from her desk and began to read the adventures Lockhart had written before.

There have been a lot of things going on in the past two days, and it is necessary to plan everything that will happen after the Floo network is restored, and to arrange a loyalty spell for the homes of members of the Order of the Phoenix such as the Burrow...... Lockhart and Hermione are also ready to move out - he has bought the entire building that houses the headquarters of Grimmauld Place, which will be the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix, an internationally renowned wizarding organization.

Lockhart had connected the building to the energy supply system as well, and now it had all the protection and Muggle evictions, but there was no concealment charm - Muggles could see the building, but they could not approach or enter.

On the night he got the Philosopher's Stone, Lockhart announced it at his table at the headquarters, and all the members of the Order of the Phoenix accepted it and couldn't wait...... There is only one exception.

――

The next day, Ginny was eating breakfast again. stopped Lockhart in the aisle: "Professor, I just like you now, if you don't marry me, I can be my boyfriend first, try to date." ”

The red-haired girl was clearly in a hurry...... Originally, she thought that there was still a long time to go, and she could slowly find a way to hook up with Lockhart, and 99.9% of the men in the world were the ones she could seduce - and Lockhart was obviously in the middle of these 99.9%. She has always been complacent about her high emotional intelligence, and she has known Lockhart for six years, and she has already understood his personality.

But this time it's time to "split up"! I have to move back to the Burrow with my family, and when school starts, I will go to Hogwarts, and Lockhart will still be the Minister of Magic. If people can't reach it, even if she has a way, she can't do anything about it!

"How are you dating?" asked Lockhart, smiling or not.

"It's you who treat me as a girlfriend, treat me as well as you do to Hermione!" Ginny thought it was a joke when she heard it, "You have to think it's appropriate, when I graduate and marry me, you can talk about it if it's not suitable." She leaned in as if to kiss him, "I'll do to you like Hermione......

"That's enough, what a bad idea, I made it clear. I don't accept you!" Lockhart pushed him away in annoyance, not daring to speak out loud for fear of being seen by the others. "Don't make yourself like a female hooligan, okay!"

"It's reasonable not to let people chase you if you're so handsome!" the girl glared at him as if she was irritated, "what's wrong with me, you don't think about me when you stick Fudge's cold ass with a hot face! If you hadn't passed the law of polygamy, who would be willing to pester you cheaply! Now you can marry me." We're all the Order of the Phoenix—if you don't think about me first, you're going to marry an outsider!"

"You're fine anywhere, but because you're your own man, you're Arthur's daughter. What is it for me to associate with you!"

"What's wrong with you and Dad, you are not called brothers, and you are not related by blood!" Ginny was not convinced. "Since you don't like to watch me act. Then I'll tell you plainly, I don't look down on those little boys who chase me, I envy Hermione for having a powerful and good husband for her, but I can't find anyone more powerful than you, so ......I chase you! I don't hate you, to be precise, I like you a lot, and I see people very accurately, you suit me! If you have to force me to say a romantic thing so realistically, I think you are cheap!"

"I don't want to talk nonsense with you anymore, I'm going to work. Lockhart pushed her away. "I've made it clear. ”

"Do you listen to me!" Ginny stomped her feet and cried: "Didn't Fudge already make it clear that he didn't want to marry you, and you still pester her every day, why don't you allow me to pester you!

"After all, you're drinking an aphrodisiac, and lying to a patient isn't cheating. Hey, don't cry!" Lockhart was a little helpless, she couldn't stand the girl crying the most, even if she knew that the other party might be crying for herself. Turning around and gently pressing her shoulder: "But I don't like you, what do you say." ”

"Don't be pretty, stinky man!" Ginny continued to wipe her tears: "You are the kind of person who wants to see a beautiful woman, I am a beauty, I don't want to stick it upside down, it's not because I see a little vixen who is more beautiful!"

Despised ...... But yes, Ginny was right, Lockhart was that kind of person.

How can Ginny be as sharp as her mother when she quarrels with people...... Lockhart was a little dizzy and reluctantly argued, "I want to ...... And find a way on the ...... I want to be on every beauty, but I'm not ready and can't be on every beauty!"

――

The sound of "tsk......t" came from Crece, the old house-elf of the Black family, who was passing by the corridor doing his housework, saw the appearance of the two of them, shook his head disdainfully, and muttered away.

Although he had already lashed out at Mrs. Weasley, Lockhart was still a little afraid of her subconsciously...... He also swore and said proudly that he would "not touch Ginny", which is really rare to want to be a person who keeps his promises.

And to be honest, although Ginny is very beautiful, she is not at all at the level of Gabrielle and Fleur that makes people feel so possessive at first sight - in layman's terms, Lockhart is now more horizontal.

"What are you arguing about?" said Mrs. Weasley's voice from downstairs.

"Don't cry, Ginny, good girl, are you right? Now you calm down and let me go to work first. Lockhart patted her cautiously on the shoulder, deciding to stay in his own house from tonight.

――

Finally getting rid of Ginny, Lockhart's mind was in a mess and he went to the Ministry of Magic, sat down and began to read the various documents presented below.

As usual, except for a few dark wizards everywhere who were making waves without the deterrence of the Aurors and Strikers, the whole of Britain was calm and peaceful.

Hey, how many potions plantations have been attacked?

Lockhart was startled and began to read the report, which had been looted at almost the same time in several famous potions estates in Britain last night, and instead of killing people and setting fires, the attackers had robbed a large number of cherished potions......

Lockhart began to read the report carefully, and the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became: not a single person died, which was not a big case in itself, but there was a problem with the list of looted potions! If I remember correctly, a large number of these medicinal materials were the raw materials needed to reshape the magic of his own body for resurrection!

Voldemort is dead and wants to be resurrected?

Impossible, who could kill him, and he was going to die, and his Death Eaters would disappear so neatly and not come out?

Lockhart immediately thought of the worst-case scenario:

――

Since making Horcruxes can increase the upper limit of mana, and reshaping the flesh with resurrection magic can greatly improve the affinity of mana, then through similar methods, it is completely possible to mass-produce powerful wizards!

No one has ever done this, there are four documented owners of Horcruxes, and Lockhart himself is the fifth.

The first Horcrux owner broke down and died when he broke one Horcrux and tried to make a second Horcrux - he was the inventor of Horcrux-making magic, the most knowledgeable person in the world, and even he died in the process of making Horcruxes, which shows how dangerous this magic is.

The second Horcrux owner died of injuries sustained in battle with his own self-conscious other half of the soul that had been improperly preserved.

The third Horcrux owner, incomplete information.

Voldemort and Lockhart are probably the only two wizards in the world who have not only made Horcruxes, but also resurrected them with resurrection magic, and they are the only two who know best how much this method can greatly enhance the strength of wizards...... But Lockhart had never considered using this method to mass-produce powerful wizards, because having split his own soul, he knew how painful and dangerous it was to make Horcruxes.

He relied on his own not weak strength and soul strength, plus the magical enhancement function of the Elder's wand to spells, to successfully make a Horcrux. What would be the success rate of an average wizard without an Elder's wand in crafting a Horcrux - one in ten, or even one in a hundredth?

I have to admit that Voldemort's strength cannot be achieved by just making Horcruxes and reshaping his body - he is already an extremely powerful wizard, and he dares to use various methods to toss himself to increase his strength, and even research and modify spells to make them more powerful (theoretically, the more powerful the spell, the easier it is to get out of control and backfire).

Even if he hadn't died and been resurrected, Voldemort would have been no weaker wizard than Dumbledore in his old age - there was no doubt about that, but there was no doubt that making Horcruxes and reshaping the flesh was the most powerful of the many methods he employed.
