"Is that so. Lockhart frowned and said, "I remember that when I became an Auror, there were more than fifty Aurors and more than a hundred strikers. ”

"It was at the end of the war, and now, the war is even brewing, and for two years in a row, no one has succeeded in obtaining a qualification. Scrimgeour said helplessly. "So, I'm sorry I can't deal with the giants anymore. ”

Lockhart was a little disappointed, but he took it for granted. Not everything can be done smoothly, and the Ministry of Magic is indeed having some difficulties right now. He stood up and said goodbye to Scrimgeur, "Well, Mr. Scrimthour, sorry to interrupt. ”

Lockhart walked to the door, and was about to go out, when Scrimgeour suddenly grabbed him again: "Gildero, stay, I have something to ask you." ”

"What's the matter?" Lockhart wondered.

"Sit down. Seeing that Scrimgeour looked very stern, Lockhart reluctantly walked back to his desk and sat down, "What's the matter, do you have any good ideas?" ”

"You work under Dumbledore, how do you get along with him?"

"In general, I respect him. ”

"Lie!" Scrimgeur's sharp eyes suddenly shot directly into Lockhart's eyes, and between the lightning and flint, Lockhart almost subconsciously operated his brain occlusion, only to find out after a long time that the other party was just looking at him without any movement, "Gildero, you joined the Order of the Phoenix, right!"

Lockhart was a little angry: "I remember the Order of the Phoenix is not an illegal organization, Mr. Scrimgeour!

"Then you admit it," Scrimgeur's sharp gaze instantly relaxed, leaning back on the back of his chair, he had just tested Lockhart, it seemed that Lockhart was still a little tender, "The Order of the Phoenix is indeed a legal organization, but its existence is very uncomfortable for the Ministry of Magic, do you understand?" ”

The Order of the Phoenix, as a civil organization, has a large number of excellent wizards, and at the same time, it does not share information with the Ministry of Magic, nor does it obey the command of the Ministry of Magic, plus Dumbledore and Fudge have a bad relationship, it is normal for the Ministry of Magic to hate the Order of the Phoenix.

"So," Lockhart was annoyed by his gaffe, "It's the Ministry's business that the Ministry of Magic doesn't like the Order of the Phoenix, but the Order of the Phoenix doesn't do anything bad for the Ministry!"

"The Order of the Phoenix indirectly killed a dozen strikers, although it was a good deed. Scrimgeour interrupted Lockhart.

Lockhart was a little frightened, he thought that Azkaban had done it seamlessly, maybe it was Scrimgeer's temptation, Lockhart decided to play dumb, "I don't understand what you're talking about, sir......"

"Akito doesn't speak darkly, Gildero. Scrimgeour interrupted Lockhart again, "I need information from the Order of the Phoenix right now, I know the Order of the Phoenix has a lot of sources......"

"This is impossible, sir, even if you were once my superior, your request would be excessive. Lockhart flatly refused.

"Gildero, you're mistaken, I'm not asking for information about the Order of the Phoenix, but about the information the Order of the Phoenix has gathered about Voldemort and the Death Eaters. Scrimgeour explained, "And, in return, I'll lend you someone to deal with the giants, while sharing with you a limited amount of information from the Ministry of Magic." ”

Lockhart hesitated, and seemed to be a good idea, but was there any catch? Scrimgeour was a ruthless character......

"Gidero, I know what you're worried about, don't worry, I won't ask for a contract or documentary evidence with you. It's just a chat between personal friends, you pick some information to me at random, and I decide how much information to give you based on how much information it is worth to me, it's a win-win, isn't it. ”

There was a brief silence in the office.

"That's it, but I can only sue you, not you ask me. Lockhart added that he was relieved that there was no need to worry about the exchange of information without constraints, and the initiative was in the hands of both sides.

"Deal, Gildero, I've always wanted to work with a powerful and mysterious organization like the Order of the Phoenix, which will help improve the overall efficiency of the Auror Division, and also let the Aurors know that they still can't be arrogant enough to think that they are the most powerful wizards in the world, and that the Auror Division is only one of the most secretive organizations in the world. Scrimgeour smiled and stood up and shook Lockhart's hand, "I'll send 10 Aurors to go with you, but I demand that this matter be absolutely beautiful and not cause any trouble to the Auror department, is that okay?" ”

"Don't worry, you should remember that I got a perfect score for my covert operation. Lockhart shook Scrimgeur's hand with satisfaction, he had not suffered so far, and as for the intelligence, we will talk about it then.
