Chapter 412: Investigation (5)

"Don't hesitate to be the enemy of the world?" Gildero, do you want to make-" Hermione was first moved to the point that her heart almost melted, and then she suddenly became uneasy: "Don't be like this, there are always people who will reflect, not all the people you are locked up are extremely vicious and unforgivable." ”

"The human heart is unpredictable, and I don't want to pin my hope that all the Death Eaters will recognize their mistakes. Lockhart said firmly, "Alright, remember what I said, the two newbies are already nearby, ready to start testing, and I'll be there to protect you." Don't let the water go, the Aurors' novice quest is not for them to live, but to combat their arrogance!"

"Well, okay......" Hermione tried to say something, but heard that Harry and Ron were already nearby, so she had to give up.

Lockhart stood up and walked across the street, looking in the direction of Ron and Harry, who were already disguised. The two young men were already trying very hard to hide their aura, but they still had nowhere to hide under his incredibly high magic affinity and deliberate induction.

――

Lockhart travels to a destination a street away, and later Hermione will make a big circle around where he is before arriving at where he is. In this way, the three young men are always inseparable from the range of their magic senses - as Voldemort said: any wizard who uses magic to enter a certain range will be quickly detected by himself......

Lockhart sat down on a bench on the side of the road.

In July, under the bright sun, he suddenly felt a little hot, so he raised his hand and gave himself a cooling spell.

There was a lot of traffic on the street in front of me, and there were people walking their dogs and a few children playing on the lawn of the street park in the distance...... Lockhart leaned back in his chair and waited for Hermione to arrive.

It was afternoon, and Lockhart sat for a while, feeling a little sleepy, and couldn't help but close his eyes and squint.

In the dream, Voldemort came to the door with a group of Death Eaters...... I fought with him for hundreds of rounds, but I couldn't wait for reinforcements...... It's going to be unbearable......

――

"Gidero!"

Lockhart woke up. Hermione was already sitting next to her.

"Ah, I'm sorry, it's so comfortable, I fell asleep. "The scene of peace in front of us is so fragile and illusory that we can't be proud of it...... Lockhart wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at his watch, it was only half past one. "Well, what's going on with the two boys?"

Harry and Ron were now back to their original appearances, standing on the edge of their chairs and looking at Hermione expectantly.

"Hermione is amazing. Harry said, "One moment it's still in front of my eyes, and the next it's going to be a slap on my back." Scared the hell out of me!"

"I was standing on the side of the road, not moving," Ron complained, "and Hermione ran up to me and patted me on the back and said she found me!"

"We all suspect that she is a professor who has changed!"

"They've learned to work with each other separately and follow me all the way, but I've been able to find them three times, Harry twice, and Ron once!" Hermione said with some smugness, holding her chin high at her two friends, "I'm embarrassed to say I've mastered it now." ”

"How the hell did you find out, is it because we didn't use the Polyjuice Potion?" asked Ron eagerly. "But the professor told us that the transformation with a wand is not recognizable under normal circumstances?"

"You two, go back and think about what the problem is!" said Lockhart, "I can't think of how I was discovered." Let Hermione tell you tomorrow. ”

"Oops, Hermione~" Ron asked impatiently, "Tell us quickly, or we won't be able to sleep tonight!"

"Cut. If you can't sleep, study the Auror Manual, don't play pathetic with me!" Hermione turned her head disdainfully.

"Let's go back and study the Auror Manual, it's all in it. As soon as it comes to practice, forget about it. Lockhart shook his head: "In two days, I will test your ability to escape, and when I have tested it all, I will rush you to catch the dark wizard." ”

Ginny, after being kicked out of the office by Lockhart at the Ministry of Magic, didn't do anything for a while. Lockhart thought she was going to make trouble, but she just looked at him hatefully even when they had dinner together at the headquarters every day, which made Lockhart creepy, and she didn't know what kind of conspiracy was going on in her little head.

At the end of July, when the original Philosopher's Stone was finally made by Snape, Lockhart connected to the Hogwarts Floo network and rushed over to pick it up in personβ€”because he was used to experimenting in his Potions office, Snape didn't leave school during the summer vacation.

"It was a success. Principal Snape said, "The horses are providing a lot of cord blood, but there are not enough other raw materials." The first one, because the proficiency is not enough, so it's not perfect, I left it for myself to use, and the remaining four, I don't dare to say that Bileme is good, at least the sales are not bad, and the effect is exactly the same, if you want to take them all. ”

Lockhart looked at Snape's left arm, which had grown back, and it was clear that Snape himself had already tested the effects of the Philosopher's Stone.

There were four magic stones side by side on the table, three of them were larger, and one of them was a little smaller, probably because the raw materials were not enough.

Lockhart picked one up at random: translucent, you could feel the familiar breath coming from it when you held it in your hand, and you could see the magnificent colors flowing inside when you gazed at it. That's right, this is the Philosopher's Stone.

With a little bit of mana, Lockhart could clearly feel the mana in his body slowly draining, and at the same time, the power of the curse had weakened a little...... No, Voldemort is still alive, and he can't consume too much mana!

Lockhart stopped and put the Philosopher's Stone in his hand and the other two larger ones on the table into his bag: "I'll take three, two for two old guys who can help me deal with Voldemort, and one for myself." ”

"Whatever you want. Snape said nothing, and waved his hand to put away the last of the Philosopher's Stone. "The Dark Lord...... That guy, when the hell are you going to get him out and kill him?"

"If he doesn't come out, there's nothing I can do. Lockhart said helplessly, "Do you have any good ideas to force him out?"

"No, but I'm going to join the Aurors or the Striker and spend the rest of my life hunting him down. Snape said viciously: "Only by killing him can I throw away the first half of my failed life and start a new life." ”

Lockhart furrowed his eyebrows, "Did he stop you from starting a new life?"

"You said it lightly, get me a headmaster, I don't want to stay in this place anymore!"

"Hogwarts is such a beautiful place, you actually say it's a ghost place?" Lockhart showed an angry expression: "Do you know how many people want this position and can't get it, now wizarding law stipulates that all wizards must go to school, that is, everyone in the wizarding world will be your student in the future!

"Influence...... Am I rare?" Snape said coldly, "You should go as you like this headmaster, don't put your ideas on me!"

"Okay, don't argue, you can get you a suitable principal one day. Lockhart nodded helplessly, although he couldn't understand it, he had to accept that there were indeed some people in the world, and they really didn't love fame or love: "But now that Professor McGonagall is gone, no one seems to be qualified to be this headmaster." ”

"Fool, you can't do it yourself, although you are younger than me, you have enough prestige and qualifications. ”

"Let's talk about it then, now that the Philosopher's Stone is in hand, I'm going back to rush the repair work of the Floo Network. Lockhart said solemnly, "Send the two Philosopher's Stones out, and you can send those two old guys to kill, as long as you find the trace of Voldemort." ”

"Call me when the time comes, and I will witness his death. ”

β€œ...... Try your best, if you're leaving Hogwarts now, stay in London, don't go back to your own home. Lohar nodded: "Then I'll go first." ”
