"Alexander Pierce."

Pierce was startled and jumped up from his chair in an instant.

He turned around suddenly and a young man appeared behind him.

The young man was tall and handsome, but his eyes revealed a depth that was inconsistent with his age.

Pierce's pupils contracted.

You know, his office is located in the deepest part of the World Security Council headquarters, and it is guarded so tightly that it can be described as an iron wall.

Any disturbance will trigger the alarm.

But the young man in front of him appeared out of nowhere like a ghost, without alarming anyone.

What’s even more bizarre is that there is clearly a wall behind me, so where is the entrance?

Pierce had no idea how he got in.

"You...who are you?"

Pierce suppressed his shock and asked sternly.

He subconsciously reached for the pistol at his waist, preparing to press the alarm button under the table.

However, the young man just waved his hand lightly.

"The lock tongue seals the throat."

Pierce suddenly felt as if his throat was blocked by something and he couldn't make any sound.

His eyes widened in horror and he struggled desperately, but found that his body was unable to move. An invisible force held him firmly in place.

In desperation, Pierce accidentally caught a glimpse of what the young man was holding.

That's a...magic wand!

It's extremely similar to the one in Hermione Granger's hand!

Pierce understood something instantly, and a look of extreme shock appeared in his eyes.

The young man waved his wand again.

"The sound is back."

Pierce felt his throat loosen up and was finally able to make a sound.

He took a deep breath and asked carefully:

"Are you a wizard?"

It was the first time he had seen a wizard other than Hermione. Does this mean that the wizarding world really exists?

The young man nodded, with a playful smile on his face:

"Sure enough, you know of our existence."

Pierce suppressed his excitement and uneasiness and asked tentatively:

"I wonder if you are..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the young man:

"Tom Marvolo Riddle, Department of Magical Law Enforcement, Ministry of Magic."

"I came here today to talk to you about Hermione Granger."

……

In a gloomy cemetery, weeds are overgrown and several dilapidated tombstones are leaning here and there.

Lucius Malfoy stood alone in the middle of the graveyard.

He seemed to be waiting for something, with a hint of uneasiness on his face.

Suddenly, the space behind him twisted, and a figure shrouded in a black robe appeared out of thin air.

"You're here." Lucius turned around and spoke calmly.

The man in black robe nodded: "What do you want from me?"

His voice was hoarse and low, with a hint of caution.

Lucius was silent for a moment and did not answer.

The black-robed man frowned slightly, and there was a hint of impatience in his tone: "Why don't you speak?"

Lucius spoke slowly: "I'm sorry, Lester, please don't blame me."

The man in black robe was startled and turned back suddenly.

He saw a young man standing behind him, looking at him with a smile.

The man in black robes immediately realized what had happened, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes: "Lucius, you betrayed me!"

His name is Lestat, a dark wizard wanted by the Ministry of Magic, and he has always been in contact with Lucius.

He knew that Lucius had once been a Death Eater under the Dark Lord, so he trusted him.

The two often exchanged magic props, and Lucius helped him escape from the Ministry of Magic several times.

But I didn't expect that this time he would team up with others to plot against me.

Lester was furious and immediately prepared to use Apparition to escape.

However, he suddenly found that he could not use any magic!

All the magic power in his body was restrained by a powerful force.

"Why...is this happening?!" Lester was horrified.

He had never encountered such a situation before and for a moment he didn't know how to deal with it.

"Avada Kedavra!"

A beam of green light shot out from the young man's wand and hit Lester accurately.

Lester didn't even have time to react before his body froze in place.

Then, his eyes lost their luster and his body fell to the ground, with a hint of fear and unwillingness still remaining in his pupils.

"I told you to do it earlier, but you had to show off like this."

A crisp voice floated from the shadows, with a hint of helplessness.

"If he really gets away, our Mr. Lucius will be completely exposed."

"Not only will I lose the trust of others, I'm afraid I'll also be hunted down endlessly by the dark wizards."

Hermione stepped out from the shadows, the moonlight shining on her, outlining her petite figure.

She glanced at Lester on the ground and thought to herself, if she hadn't used [Ancient Magic: Silence] to silence him in time, preventing him from using any skills, he would have really escaped.

When Tom Cruise heard this, a trace of embarrassment flashed across his face.

He coughed lightly and glanced at Lucius, trying to cover up his mistake.

"Be sure to pay attention next time."

How could he, the Dark Lord, embarrass himself in front of his former subordinate?

Even if the other party doesn't know who he is.

Hearing this, Lucius's face turned a little ugly, but under the tyranny of the two men, he dared not say anything.

As for this young man, although he had not met him many times, he always had a familiar feeling.

For some reason, every time he saw her, he felt a chill on his back, his hair stood on end, and he had an inexplicable feeling of fear.

His strength is so terrifying, but I have never heard of him before. I don’t know where he came from.

However, such a powerful wizard obeys Hermione's orders.

How terrifying is this Gryffindor witch?

Although he was forced to join Hermione's gang, Hermione also cleared Draco of the suspicion of murdering his classmates as agreed.

And this matter was not without benefits. Draco was officially identified as the heir of Slytherin, the Malfoy family's reputation among pure-blood families increased again, and many families also sought cooperation with Lucius.

To say I'm unhappy would be a lie.

After all, the status of the Malfoy family has actually improved.

But if he wanted to say happy, he couldn't be happy.

Because he knew in his heart that all this was Hermione's plan.

He is now completely tied to Hermione's gang, and who knows what more frightening things he might do in the future.

Want to get off the boat?

Go dream!

Now he could only pray that the Hermione ship would not capsize while sailing.

Chapter 139 Remus Lupin

Hermione looked at the body.

"Thunderbolt explosion!"

Lester's body was instantly blown into pieces, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and debris was scattered all over the ground.

Tom Cruise frowned slightly and looked at Hermione in confusion:

"What are you doing?"

Hermione put away her wand, glanced at the wreckage on the ground, and said calmly:

"There is not a single scratch on this person's body. It is obvious that he has been hit by the Avada Kedavra curse."

"Are you going to let our Deputy Director Gilderoy Lockhart take him back to claim credit?"

"Will the Ministry give him credit then or take it as a credit?"

That's right, as soon as Hogwarts was on vacation, Gilderoy Lockhart couldn't wait to hand in his resignation, resigned from his position as professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, and joined the Ministry of Magic.

Minister Cornelius Fudge personally met and interviewed the rising star wizard.

The two chatted happily.

Lockhart is famous and has many supporters. Fudge believes that his joining will bring many benefits to the Ministry of Magic.

The two hit it off and each got what they wanted. Fudge made the decision on the spot to appoint Lockhart as the deputy director of the Auror Office of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.

This position, this salary, and this high starting point made all the old hands in the Ministry of Magic dumbfounded.

I’ve seen people riding rockets, but I’ve never seen anyone riding a rocket with nitrogen spray!

Lockhart lived up to expectations.

In just over a month after taking office, he seemed to have been gifted with a cheat code. He successively found and killed three dark wizards who had long been on the wanted list of the Ministry of Magic, and successfully proved himself.

At this rate, Lockhart would probably be promoted again soon.

Of course, Lockhart has not forgotten his old profession - writing.

A book titled “My Career as an Auror” came out of nowhere and quickly became popular throughout the wizarding world.

It tells the story of how he found and battled wits with these dangerous dark wizards.

From the age of 99 to the age when they can just walk, almost everyone has a copy of the book and they read it with great interest.

Lockhart gained both fame and fortune and made a fortune.

The wizarding world has never had such a big internet celebrity. In the past hundred years, apart from Dumbledore, Grindelwald and Voldemort, Lockhart is the most famous one at this time.

Even the famous savior Harry Potter is inferior to him.

Now, those guys in the Ministry of Magic who had originally been resentful of Lockhart completely lost their temper.

Some of the little private actions also disappeared.

With this kind of fan base, as long as the character's image does not collapse, all competitors will be overwhelmed.

Hermione waved her hand, and the surrounding soil surged up, wrapping up the shattered body.
