Hallie didn't figure out how to toss the Malfoy family for the time being, so she put the feud down for the time being.

Anyway, their house-elf Dobby is already in his own hands, and he still belongs to the Malfoy family on the surface.

With this "time bomb", as long as you have an idea, you can give the Malfoy family a huge surprise at any time!

……

Over the next few days, the winds in the wizarding world changed rapidly.

It seems that the Ministry of Magic wants to eliminate the bad effects of the previous period, so it has invested heavily in promoting Harry.

They interviewed Harley and took a picture of her standing in front of the basilisk corpse.

At that time, Harley wore her hair in a single ponytail, light makeup on her face, a black peaked wizard hat, a black tunic and a height increase in her shoes.

With a wand in her right hand and a cross waist in her other hand, Harley stood on top of the basilisk's head, with an indifferent expression on her face, and her whole person showed a heroic appearance.

As soon as this photo came out, with the writing of a professional writer, it instantly made Hallie popular in the wizarding world, and his popularity chased Lockhart.

Fudge doesn't have much presence in these articles. Although when talking to Fudge at the time, Minister Fudge seemed to be ready to take credit for himself.

In reality, however, the newspaper article still gave most of the credit to Harley, and praised the Aurors, with only a few words about Fudge's overall command as Minister of Magic.

As for the specific reason, Harley remembered that Fudge's book "From Prefect to Minister" mentioned that Fudge was the deputy director of the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters before becoming Minister of Magic.

According to the information that Ron and Susan, who have elders in the Ministry of Magic, inadvertently revealed during a chat, the Minister of Magic is basically only the director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.

So Harley deduced that it was likely that Fudge was not particularly well received in the Ministry of Magic, at least not by the Department of Magical Law Enforcement and its subordinate Auror Command.

After all, they are not a faction, and it can even be said that Fudge has grabbed the position that belongs to their faction.

Until now, Fudge's descendants are still members of the Magical Accidents and Disasters Division.

And when the auditorium was cleaned up, Scrimgeur, the boss of the Auror Command, expressed a real appreciation for Harley.

In addition, the Aurors are a violent organization, and they must also highly respect those who are capable and can fight.

The Aurors themselves were not fools, and they all knew exactly what role the Minister of Magic played.

So Fudge couldn't fool them at all.

Fudge probably also took these points into account, so he simply did a favor, did not take the credit of Harley, and took the opportunity to promote the Aurors.

After all, if a Minister of Magic wants to promote himself, he can do it at any time. There was no need to deepen the Aurors' dislike for this trivial matter.

In addition to promoting Hallie, Professor Lockhart was also whipped up.

The Daily Prophet has always liked to step on and pin when it comes to promoting someone, so Professor Lockhart will not be at peace after his death.

He was labeled as a dark wizard, and all the bad incidents of stealing other people's memories were exposed.

At first, many of Lockhart's avid fans were not convinced, and wrote to bomb the Ministry of Magic, demanding that their idol's reputation be restored.

But when several authorities in the Ministry of Magic reveal that Lockhart had "stolen" other people's memories and had the protagonist write the book himself, the wind changed in an instant.

The wizards began to scold Lockhart, and many female fans began to cry bitterly, and turned to fans to reveal Lockhart's true colors.

But Harley didn't have time to deal with these rabid fans.

In fact, for most of the letters she received, Harley just glanced at them and threw them in the trash.

During these few days, Hallie had more important things to do. She is methodically completing her plan.

Teaching Lockhart psychic was at the top of Hallie's agenda.

According to Dobby's eavesdropping on the Malfoys' conversation, he is the only one left in Professor Lockhart's family, and there is no heir to the contract, so according to the rules, he can enter the vault as long as he has the corresponding key in hand.

So, the Aurors searched Lockhart's vault, but only had the month's bills.

According to the elves, Lockhart would withdraw his manuscript fees every month and never stay in the coffers.

But the Aurors also searched Professor Lockhart's office, and it was clean, and there was no evidence of any legal items like the Golden Galleons or any evidence of violating the law.

Even the so-called evidence presented in the newspapers by the "authorities" of the Ministry of Magic was concocted using magic.

Apparently, Professor Lockhart is ready to run away at any moment and does not trust any official body.

This also shows that Lockhart must have a hidden fortune, after all, he is really rich.

As a wild extraordinaire who carved poverty and thrift in her bones, Harley naturally would not let go of a large sum of innocent gold gallons.

So teaching Lockhart psychic is very high on the list.

This is not an easy task, because Professor Lockhart's soul is not resistant, but it is strong enough.

Moreover, the witch herself is not good at channeling, which makes it very likely that Hallie will not be able to get all the important information during the channeling process.

To this end, Harley made a detailed plan and began to prepare for the collection of various ritual materials for the soul.

In addition to planning to teach Lockhart psychics, Harley also spends a lot of time dealing with classmates.

Although she temporarily calmed Hermione, after Hallie told Hermione about the entire incident in the secret room, including the existence of Senior Riddle, Hermione still lost her temper for a while about Hallie's solo adventure.

During this time, Harley would be noticed wherever she went, even when she went to the library to read a book, she would be crowded with girls, and Hallie did not stop these behaviors.

This also made Hermione often give Hallie a cold face.

And Harley has a headache about this, but there is no good way to do it, so she can only let it go.

However, these were only minor problems in front of the Chamber of Secrets, and when the incident was resolved, the castle returned to peace and tranquility.

And the arrival of the final exam made the students no longer have time to think or watch Harley, but quickly resumed their studies.

Hallie was glad the crowd had dispersed, so she had no opinion about the final exam.

But other students didn't think so, after all, in the terrifying atmosphere of this semester, many people didn't study much. Hence the rumors in the castle.

Especially those who were petrified. Just some time ago, Professor Sprout's mandrake matured.

Professor Snape had made the potion in just one night, so easily that Harley could even be allowed to watch and give him a hand.

The students came to life that night, and after just one night in bed, the stiffness in their muscles disappeared completely.

But they would rather not wake up themselves, and would rather themselves continue to be petrified for two months.

Because as soon as these poor little wizards close their eyes, as soon as they open their eyes, the final exams come.

O iniquity!

If it weren't for the professor's chance of giving them a chance to take the exam at the beginning of the next semester, these hapless kids would have considered repeating a grade.
