Chapter 305: New Plan
"Now perhaps I can follow you, now that the child has been born safely?" said Lupin, after another glass of wine, "how is it, Gildero?"
"Are you in such a hurry, the child hasn't opened his eyes yet, and you're going to leave him out on an adventure?" Blake couldn't stand it, "What we lack now is not manpower, what we lack is the clues and destruction methods of Horcruxes, we can't wait to go to all parts of the country to find a way." β
"That's right, Remus, you can help us while you accompany Tonks and the kids. Lockhart agreed with Cyrris, "And there are too many people together, and it's too obvious when using Floo.com." β
"Alright then, I'll listen to you. "Lupin is in a good mood and is not stubborn.
"When are you going to have a baby, Hermione. Ginny said with a grin.
"You have to make me a godfather. Harry chimed in, "Hermione, you're going to pick me." β
"Okay, don't talk nonsense, sooner or later, the child will have it. Lockhart patted the table, "The most important thing we need to solve right now is Cyris's singleness, isn't it." β
"Oh-" Cyrith panicked, the subject shifting too quickly. "How about I get married as soon as the war is over?"
"There's a partner," Ginny's eyes widened, "whose witch?"
"Very sincere!" Hermione blushed at the thought of giving Lockhart a child, but exclaimed anyway, "Then we have to work hard, and hope to see the birth of the honorable Mrs. Black soon." β
"The Christmas holidays are coming to an end, and we haven't decided what to do next. Albert was calm, "What are we supposed to do?"
"Alas. Lockhart had another headache, he really didn't know what to do if he decided not to rush to destroy the Horcrux first, "Harry, you'd better show us the way." β
"I ...... I don't know......" Harry was just getting excited, and he was deflated. "Why don't you find a way to destroy the Horcruxes along the way, and find the last one by the way. β
"There's a lot of people in the room, so you can't come up with an idea. Fleur said dissatisfiedly, "If you don't even have a plan, how can you win the war?" β
"My dear. Lockhart gave Hermione an expectant look, "You can give us something to do...... Move your clever little head. β
"I'm ......" Hermione put her chin on her hand and began to think hard.
ββ
"It's windy outside...... Lupin said as he listened to the wind, "I'll go back first, and you think about it slowly." β
"Hmm. β
Bill stood up and opened the door for Lupin: "Say hello to Tonks and little Teddy for us." β
"Yikes. I've got an idea!" Hermione let out a sudden scream, causing Lupin to shrink his neck as he walked out the door to leave, forgetting about the apparition for a moment. "Remus reminded me of what he just said!"
"Huh?" Lupin pondered what he had just said.
"He just said that the wind was strong...... Then I couldn't help but think of wind power, and then I thought of the 'machete' we saw not long ago, remember?" said Hermione, "and Harry said that giants don't use machetes that big. β
"Ahem......" Blake coughed awkwardly.
"What's wrong?" Harry blushed a little, but had no idea what Hermione was trying to say.
"We've been stuck in a misunderstanding," Hermione said excitedly. "Even I have been infected by you, we are wizards, but why do you have to use wizarding methods to destroy Horcruxes, Muggles can make such large wind turbines. But that's nothing, they have more power!"
"Ah, I see. "Albert has lived longer among ordinary people. "Muggles have very powerful weapons and machines that can flatten a city in an instant. You can punch a hole through a mountain!"
"True or false, don't take Muggle myths and legends seriously. Ron said incredulously. "I've heard that Muggles think witches are all old and ugly. β
After saying that, he couldn't help but glance at Fleur.
ββ
"Let the Muggles help us destroy the Horcrux?" Lupin also stopped, walked back and reached out to close the door. "Sounds interesting. But who can help? And - a weapon that can raze a city to the ground does not necessarily break a Horcrux, this is not a concept, Horcruxes are too small. β
"We're going to find a Muggle scientist, the equivalent of a spell researcher in the Muggle world, who might be able to help me with this puzzle. β
"And who are you looking for...... "Lockhart asks," Lockhart asked, "do you know any other great scientists?"
"Uh...... I don't know, but that doesn't stop us from looking!" said Hermione, "I'm going to buy some scientific newspapers and magazines tomorrow, and although I can't read them, it's all right to find out who the best scientists in Britain are." β
"There's no need to go to such trouble," Albert said, "you just go to the UK university rankings, pick the physics major at the top of the rankings, and then go to the physics major to find the best professor, as long as you don't mix it up, the level will not be lower than that of the average scientist." β
"Great idea! You're smart, Albert. Hermione excitedly said, "Then I'll go to the nearest Muggle city tomorrow and buy a book about the introduction to the university!"
"Muggles have a way to destroy Horcruxes, I really don't believe it. Fleur shook her head, she thought the group was crazy.
"You can try, a dead horse should be a live horse doctor. Bill was very open-minded, "Then let's decide, the Christmas holidays are almost over." β
"Hermione, you're amazing!" said Ginny adoringly.
"I just thought of who to turn to...... What's so powerful...... Hermione said modestly, "Let's hope the power of the Muggles won't let us down." β

The next day, while Ginny and Ron were still training outside the house, Hermione and the others were in the room reading a book about British universities, which detailed the strengths and weaknesses of various majors in British universities...... After some comparison, Hermione decided to try her luck at Cambridge first, and then go to Oxford.
After another day at the Shell Cottage, Ginny and Ron had to go home to prepare to return to Hogwarts for the second half of their studies, while Lockhart took Hermione and the others and the rest of the Order of the Phoenix to Cambridge again.
Cambridge is the capital of Cambridgeshire, and as early as 2,000 years ago, the Romans set up camp in this place about 90 kilometers from London. Still, for a long time, Cambridge was just a country market town. It wasn't until the founding of Cambridge University that the name of the town became known.
The University of Cambridge is easy to find, because almost all of Cambridge is for this university, and there is no one in the local area who does not know where the university is located, and they arrived at the school smoothly, and after asking the teachers and students on campus, they came to the door of the office of the director of the physics major.
When I opened the door, I didn't see the intense and enthusiastic atmosphere of scientific research, only a few desks full of experimental reports and papers, and a bulky desktop computer running. The only one was standing by the window, looking out the window with his back to them......
The man heard the sound and turned around, and it was then that Lockhart and the others noticed that the man was still holding a steaming drink, and they didn't know if it was tea or coffee...... Really will enjoy it.
"Hello...... he walked back to the table and put down the hot tea in his hand, "is there anything wrong?" β
Lockhart waited for the last Harry to enter the office, and with a wave of his hand, the door slammed shut - a gesture that caught the man's attention, and he looked at Lockhart's hand in disbelief: if he wasn't dazzled, then Lockhart didn't have anything in his hand, and the door was closed out of thin air.
"Are you the director of the physics program at this school? Lockhart walked in, picked out a chair and made it, "Sit down." β
"That's right, I'm Daniel Smith, you can call me Professor Smith. Looks like you're not a student of this school, what's the matter?" he sat down and glanced around the crowd, now that they had all drunk the polyjuice potion, he couldn't see anything unusual.
"We're wizards, Professor Smith. Lockhart got straight to the point, there was nothing to hide, anyway, he had to be forgotten when he was done, "Let's ask you something." β
"Wizard?" he smiled, "I can't see how you did it when you closed the door just now, but it's okay to have a magician, I'm a poor professor, what do you want to fool me?"
Lockhart didn't talk nonsense, he didn't even take his wand, and with a wave of his hand, all the papers, scratch papers, experiment reports, and so on on the table flew up, neatly stacked together, and a large piece of the table was free.
In order for a magician to perform this kind of magic trick, he must first use his own or To's props, and these things on the table are definitely not magic props, and certainly not To-Professor Smith's eyes changed suddenly, at first shock, then immediately to awe...... And then slowly it became a frenzy...... These physics frontier workers are receptive to new things.
"So...... Mr. Wizard, what should I call you?" he stared at Lockhart for a moment, then turned his gaze to the other four, who knew on their knees that they were also wizards.
"Gilderoy Lockhart, the profession is the same as yours, but the profession is different. β
"Professor Lockhart, so how can I help you? β
"Hermione, Horcruxes. β
"Yes. Hermione pulled the tiara out of her pouch and placed it on the table in front of them.
"What is this?"
After several breaches, the crown has become a mess, and the place where it was originally written "Extraordinary wisdom is the greatest treasure of mankind" has long been blurred to the point that nothing can be seen clearly.
