Hermione, join me as Minister of Magic!

Of course, as a mixed race, marrying a holy 28 pure blood wife is undoubtedly a symbol of a rising lintel.But Lockhart didn't take much notice of this, because he knew that the wizarding world was about to usher in a populist revolution, and it was hard to say that this marriage would have any positive impact on his career.

"Let me change my mentality first, okay? Let's date for a while." Lockhart asked tentatively.

He was originally just nervous because of Rosmerta, but now it seems that women understand women better.Although he had discovered some clues a long time ago, he was not sure until now

"Of course." Gemma Farley replied with a sense of pride, "You have plenty of time to think about it, but as a first step, I want you to start today by calling me 'Gemma' and Not "Miss Farley'"

Lockhart agreed with a wry smile: "Okay... Gemma."

Gemma Farley was overjoyed immediately.

Seeing her like this, Lockhart finally understood where her hostility towards Hermione came from.

Although he had already vaguely felt it, he really didn't expect the other party to be so willful.

He was going to explain to her after a while why he valued Muggle-born Hermione so much, and I'm sure any smart person would understand.

As for the original "taming" plan, there must be some changes. It is certainly a good idea to use subtle means to conduct authoritative training for a long time, but if it is really related to major events in your life, it is another matter.

An obedient woman without ego is not a wife but a sex slave, and a magic doll made of silicone can do better than that.

To put it bluntly, even a narcissist needs someone around him who appreciates him sincerely.

Lockhart decided to change his strategy, but before that, he really needed to restrain himself and interact with other women as little as possible.

Let's take a step

While Lockhart was sitting at his desk thinking about the major events in his life, a woman came to his door.

Lockhart saw that it was getting late, in order to avoid other people's gossip, he could only ask the other party to come back tomorrow.

"Who is it? The office is closed today, please come back tomorrow if you have anything to do." Lockhart shouted towards the door.

But the other party did not retreat: "Gidero, there is one thing I must ask today!"

— Hearing this voice, Lockhart felt relieved.

It turned out to be Professor McGonagall, no matter how jealous Gemma Farley was, she couldn't get her.

So he put on a coat and opened the door.

"Come in...it's really cold today, what would you like to drink? Tea? Cocoa?"

"Maybe a cup of hot water." Minerva McGonagall patted the snow off her body and entered the Shrieking Shack. "Let's cut a long story short... Did you buy Potter a Firebolt?"

The big black dog by the fireplace immediately pricked up its ears.

Chapter 210 Seventh, Extra Movements Are the Enemy of Planning

Hearing what Professor McGonagall said, Lockhart was very surprised: "Firebolt. That broom that may cost thousands of Galleons? Why do you think I bought it?"

"Because I really can't think of anyone else who would buy him such an expensive thing." Professor McGonagall sat down, looking a little annoyed, "I, Felius and Severus checked the whole thing from beginning to end. Putting the broom dozens of times, Severus even stayed up for two nights, tested thousands of magics, but we found nothing, from detecting maliciousness to other known black magics, we tried everything."

"So that's the case." Lockhart also sat down, "If it's a magic that none of the three of you can discover, then I definitely can't use it, and I doubt that Black can't use it either."

"That's why I want to find out who did it." Professor McGonagall looked at Lockhart with a serious expression, "But I think it's very likely that you did it...you don't have to worry about Ravenclaw College complaining If you are biased, I will keep it a secret for you."

"It's really not me." Lockhart firmly denied, "Why do you suspect me?"

"Because Randolph Baddmore wrote back that although they hadn't noticed where the Firebolt owl had come from, the species was a short-eared owl endemic to North Scotland...and they included that order letter as well. It was sent to me, and we found out that the letterhead used was the official letterhead of the British Ministry of Magic." Professor McGonagall stared at Lockhart, pointing out the clues he found one by one.

Lockhart remained unchanged on the surface: "But the range is still a bit large." In fact, deep down, he restrained himself so that he didn't scold the big black dog-you won't find Does Gringotts borrow pen and paper?Have to take it from my drawer?

And beside the fireplace, the big black dog was sweating profusely—he had indeed forgotten about it, and he was not in Gringotts because he was worried that Gringotts would use the "handwriting reconstruction" magic to find out what he wrote. Instead of writing a letter, I took a pen and paper from Lockhart5 but I didn't expect it to be revealed in the end.

Finally, we asked Gringotts about who had recently withdrawn 5000 Galleons from the bank. As a result, the goblins told me that the identity of the client must be kept strictly confidential according to the contract, and they would not answer even if someone from the Ministry of Magic asked. . "

When Professor McGonagall said this, the suspicion in his eyes was no longer concealed: "As far as we know, only very distinguished customers can enjoy this treatment."

"And I'm such a big client, right?" Lockhart smiled wryly, "But...there are still many people who work in the Ministry of Magic and have a large deposit in Gringotts! And they can afford it People, the entire British wizarding world will not exceed 30 people, right? Although I'm not sure if there will be outsiders..."

While talking, he took a piece of paper from the side table, wrote a line on it, and handed it to Professor McGonagall.

"Take it for handwriting identification! I think my handwriting should be different from the handwriting on the order letter."

Professor McGonagall took the paper suspiciously: "So, you really didn't do it.

"It's really not me. I can't buy a Firebolt if I want to buy it. At most, I can buy a Nimbus for 200 yuan. Do you have any old textbooks or notes from Blake? I suggest checking it out." Loha Te had an idea in the blink of an eye.

Professor McGonagall shook his head: "If there was any, we would have checked it. It is a pity that the four robbers took all their textbooks and notes when they graduated, and used them to light a fire and have a bonfire party. They say these "damn things7 tortured them for seven years and they want revenge. "

Beside the fireplace, Sirius Black secretly breathed a sigh of relief - looking young and young

Being crazy is not without benefits, at least now no one can confirm that he did it.

"Even the Ministry of Magic doesn't have him writing a confession or other materials?" Lockhart was a little surprised.

"No, that guy confessed to all charges, so Crouch was spared that step."

Lockhart looked very distressed: "That's troublesome. I really can't think of anyone who would be crazy enough to send a Firebolt as a trap for harming someone. If this is a trap, it may not be too obvious... The broom is really Is it all right?"

"I really can't find Tian Ke's problem." McGonagall admitted, "Badmore told us in his reply that he has several anti-disassembly mechanisms inside the Firebolt. From the broom to Hogwarts, unless someone accurately intercepts the owl in the middle, there is no chance of tampering, but the delivery owl’s round-trip time is normal, there is no injury on its body, and it looks very good. ..."

"Then there is no problem." Lockhart persuaded, "Maybe someone owes the Potter family, but they are too embarrassed to say it publicly, so we have to use this method to repay. oo Take it easy, at least this year's Quidditch The odd cup belongs to Gryffindor."

Of course he knew who ordered it, and he knew very well that there was nothing wrong with it.

When it comes to Quidditch, Professor McGonagall is in better spirits: "I hope so." The old professor's enthusiasm for Quidditch is probably no less than that of any Gryffindor.

Although it was not revealed who gave the gift, Professor McGonagall returned the Firebolt to Harry Potter after repeatedly confirming that there was no problem with the broom.

The elated Harry took it to the Quidditch training ground, and got the evaluation of "we will win this year" from the top and bottom of Gryffindor.

Everyone was still driving go-karts on the road, but a crowd suddenly appeared next to them.

A Lamborghini, if such a Lamborghini can't bully these kindergarten children, then unless the road is full of ditches.

And after Professor McGonagall came, Sirius Black also knew that his godson had finally accepted his gift, and a wish surged in his heart.

Although he had already obtained the password paper that Crookshanks had thrown him, he still hoped to have another look at his godson riding on the broom before doing it.

Because he was worried that after he attacked Gryffindor Tower, the college would cancel the Quidditch Cup, and he might even die, so he would never see that scene again.

Speaking of which, that cat is really smart—even though it can’t read English letters, it saw a student carrying that piece of paper in and out of the tower, so it knew that there must be a password to enter and exit, so it took advantage of him not paying attention. I stole it from time to time.Without this thing, Black would not be able to get in even if he tried his best.

Now Sirius got the import and export order for Gryffindor Tower for a week, and all he had to do was to do it within this week and send the mouse to a dead end.

He planned to go to the Gryffindor game in the morning, sneak back to the Shrieking Shack for dinner at noon, take a nap in the afternoon, and then sneak into Honeydukes' secret lane and go straight to Hogwarts at night while the villagers went to the movies. internal.

Originally, the secret passage of the Screaming Shack was more concealed, but Black suddenly felt that it was better not to trap this person who "took and raised" him.

After this incident came to light, the secret passage of the Screaming Shack would definitely be exposed anyway. After all, Lupine also knew the secret passage.After his attack was successful, he would confess to Dumbledore as soon as he left, and Lockhart who was stationed in the Screaming Shack would definitely be responsible.

Although this person is a bit vicious, at least he helped himself so much unintentionally, if he could implicate one less person, let him implicate one less person!

As he thought, he hid the paper with the Gryffindor tower password in the shed

In the grass behind the house.

Just wait and see, Peter Pettigrew, you only have five days to live.

Chapter 210 Eighth Three Becomes Top Five

To be honest, if it weren't for all the preparations he had made before, Lockhart might have allowed Black to sneak away without telling him and succeed in sneaking away.

Fortunately, he also took some precautions.It was this preventive measure that allowed Lockhart to notice Black's small movements despite his busy schedule.

After Fudge gave up continuing to keep the Tournament a secret, he was worried that Dumbledore would use the Tournament to expand his influence, so he simply sent an invitation to the Ilvermorny Academy in the United States.

Although Beauxbaton College in France seems to be neutral, Madame Maxime's thoughts are leaning towards the Lions, and the legendary alchemist from Beauxbaton College-Nicole Flamel and Dumbledore have a close personal relationship, even if Even after his death, Beauxbaton College also maintained a good relationship with Dumbledore.

Therefore, in order to balance the influence, when the Ministry of Magic was selecting another academy, it deliberately chose Durmstrang of the Snake School, and its principal Karkaroff was a Death Eater before, so he must have a disagreement with Dumbledore.

But now that Dumbledore has brought in Waggadu from Africa, in order to balance the influence, Fudge has to bring in another school no matter what.

So he chose the magic school founded by the descendants of Slytherin - Ilvermorny, USA.After the people who believe in Ilvermorny come, they should be able to neutralize the influence of the Lion faction a little.

Anyway, the relationship between Britain and the United States on the Muggle side is also very good, and it's fair and right—that's what Fudge thinks.

Fudge was proud of his decision, but he didn't know that although Ilvermorny was founded by the descendants of Slytherin, its school-running philosophy was "teach without distinction", which was quite populist.

On the contrary, it is the Waggadu of Africa, because they uphold mysticism and adopt the

They secretly select students in the way of dream giving rune stones, which is a bit of elitism. That is, because of the increase in the population of Africa, especially Egypt, in recent years, the number of wizards has soared, and they have to change some school-running methods.

Therefore, although Babajid and Dumbledore still have some contacts, the school-running philosophy of the two schools has retained its own characteristics.As a result of Fudge's miscalculation, he inadvertently balanced the power of the contestants, even though the process of "balancing" was completely different from what he thought.

The leader moved his mouth, and the following ran broken legs, and Lockhart was too busy for this.

From the top three to the top four, and finally to the top five, the plan that needs to be changed in the process is not just a little bit, or even a whole new plan.

He is like those Party B who have worked so hard to make plans, but when the plan is due to be handed in, Party A's father suddenly changes his mind and asks "to add another window here". This feeling is really inhumane.

"...In this way, Americans are more advocating individual heroism, so they arrange the students of Ilvermorny to live in Gryffindor; Vagadu emphasizes the harmony between man and nature, I think they have produced Master Newt and Stowe Professor Prout's Hufflepuff will be easy to talk to; Beauxbaton, who is maverick and self-important, will be handed over to Ravenclaw, and Durmstrang will be treated by you, Slytherin... Is this okay?" Lockhart looked at Gemma with red eyes.

"Very well, I'll let the head of the male and female students pay special attention... and the prefects of each house." Gemma said.

It is a good thing to expand the authority of the student union. Lockhart can also distribute the tasks, and even call it "experience a little bit".

"Then let's delegate the task... the people in charge... Percy Weasley of Gryffindor, Robert Hilliard of Ravenclaw, Gabrielle Truman of Hufflepuff, and yours …Uh?"

"Lucien Ball," Gemma reminded him.

"Okay, that's it... oh!" Lockhart's expression changed suddenly.

"What's the matter?" Gemma noticed that his expression was different, and asked quickly.

Gemma was a little disappointed, because watching a movie with Lockhart was the happiest time she had in recent times.

"I'll deal with them, they don't dare to attack officials of the Ministry of Magic." Gemma volunteered, "Besides, they may not be willing to come, Gildero... you can take a good rest

interest

day.

Lockhart sighed. "I'd hate to do it if possible... but I'm really sleepy, sorry, Gemma."

"It's okay, it's true that your spirit is not very good, I should have noticed it earlier

After a while, Lockhart returned to the back room, and then fell asleep.

Gemma shook her head when she heard the snoring in the back room, and then called Dobby to pay attention to Lockhart's warmth.

"If I find out the next day that he has a cold...even if it's just a sneeze, your nose and ears won't be where they are now, understand what I mean?" she whispered but sternly to Do Than said.

Although Dobby claims to be a free house-elf, in the face of this possible "future mistress", he has once again demonstrated the deep-rooted quality of the house-elf and obeys orders.

"Dobby promises it will never happen, mistress."

The "hostess" made Gemma Farley calm down immediately.

"That's good, do your job well, maybe in the future I will consider you as my

Steward of our castle. "

She walked out proudly.

But not long after she went out, Lockhart in the back room got up.

This little bit of overtime didn't tire him out, and he was nervous for another reason.

Because he had been with Lupine for a long time, Lockhart took an opportunity to ask him about the magic of tracking and displaying people's names on the map while drinking.

Lupine laughed and couldn't stop talking.

He told Lockhart how the four of them invented "Hmnculus_Charm".

"We used the principles of owls to find people, the sorting hat to know people, and the Ministry of Magic's traces. To be honest, these are quite difficult, but the four of us have overcome them one by one. Now that I think about it, it's unbelievable. I dare not Guaranteed I will still spend time on some boring things now..."

Because Lockhart was not good at transfiguration, Lupine simply did it for him—he cast a permanent simultaneous transfiguration spell on Lockhart, with a tracer like a tracer at one end and a police sight glass at the other end.

"In this way, as long as someone uses magic around the tracer, your looking glass will vibrate. As for the map... Sorry, I can't give you Hogwarts permission."

"It's okay, that's enough." Lockhart expressed his satisfaction.

And just when Lockhart was talking to Gemma, the looking glass in Lockhart's arms suddenly rang an alarm and reported the new situation to Lockhart.

"Very good... You guy, finally moved."

Lockhart clenched his wand tightly and looked in the direction of Hogwarts.

Is the rat tonic good, Peter.
