Hermione, join me as Minister of Magic!

Although Lockhart felt that the trivial matter of a prince's fracture should not be necessary to come forward, but the prime minister thought of himself first when he wanted to solve the problem, which shows that he has already developed some psychological dependence on him, and he should not let the other party It is better to have a withdrawal reaction.

So he simply prepared a big gift---a gift from the Association of Extraordinary Pharmacists

The wizard's daily medicine kit from here.

In addition to common medicines such as cold medicine, wound medicine, eye drops, gastrointestinal medicine and sleeping pills, this medical bag also contains some refreshing medicines, tonics, and traditional Chinese medicines. I believe the other party will definitely need them.

However, when he sent the medicine bag over, the Prime Minister was not in a hurry to find the prince with the medicine, but asked Lockhart about "meeting the queen".

Lockhart did not expect that the Prime Minister would be even more anxious than himself, and more importantly, he had not heard of any major events in Britain recently.

After thinking for a while, Lockhart guessed what the Prime Minister was thinking.

"If you are worried that we wizards will be detrimental to the government, then you don't have to beat around the bush like this." Lockhart said frankly, "Because this is something that is very likely to happen in the future."

Major did not expect Lockhart to speak so clearly.

He laughed with feigned ease: "You must be joking, right? What conflict can we have? We've worked so well together so far, we've both gotten what we wanted, I can't think of any ..."

"Because there is a certain group of wizards whose political point of view is to rule Muggles, even though they are out of power now," Lockhart said.

Major's laughter stopped abruptly.

"Is it the pure blood you mentioned last time?"

"Not all, in fact, the vast majority of pure-blood families are neutral, some families firmly oppose it, and some agree with it, but if the current situation continues, the neutral families are likely to turn to agree with the model of wizards ruling Britain .”

Lockhart was deliberately alarmist, trying to scare the Prime Minister, but for some reason, the Prime Minister reacted quickly this time, and didn't even intend to give up.

"Maybe we can help...you know, I have a responsibility for the people of the whole of Britain," Major hinted.

Lockhart finally understood that the Prime Minister seemed to be planning to do whatever he wanted today.

Meddle in wizarding affairs.

If it was an ordinary person, he would probably suspect that the Prime Minister knew something, but Lockhart didn't think so.

Because he is well aware of the British government's diplomatic style, or the internal standard procedures.

The more they are unaware: the more they will act like they know everything, making the other party feel suspicious.On the contrary, when they really know the truth, they will pretend to be confused with a calm attitude.

Regardless of whether he was angry or hesitant, Major could hear some of the wizard's details from his own reaction.Even if he really lost his temper, the prime minister only needs another "sincere apology" to eliminate the influence, and it will be himself who will be at fault.

Otherwise, how can you say that you can play politics only if you have a city government?

Thinking of this, Lockhart was not in a hurry.

He graciously sat opposite the prime minister, not only did he not show any anger or dissatisfaction, but even had a look of nostalgia on his face.

Regardless of what others think about political struggle, Lockhart really likes this interesting game anyway. A big man in a big eastern country said that "fighting with others is a lot of fun", and he probably meant this kind of person.

"Very well, you finally have a sense of responsibility to us. This is a welcome progress." Lockhart encouraged the Prime Minister and said, "In this way we can start the second phase of the process."

Lockhart's reaction also greatly exceeded the Prime Minister's expectations. His troublesome probing turned out to be something planned by the other party. Major was completely unprepared for this, and for a moment he didn't even know how to proceed.

...hope you understand that all I want is peace of mind. "He had to do this first

Say.

"I understand what you mean." Lockhart calmly took the initiative of the negotiation back into his own hands, "Considering the degree of understanding and trust between the two of us, I think some measures that hurt feelings can be suspended At the right time, I will tell you most of the issues you care about."

"Oh? When?"

Major found that his attitude seemed a little too weak, so he quickly corrected it.

"I'm not complaining, but just helping you hide your existence, we're already exhausted. Like your wanted man, that car flying in the sky, the unmapped area in the Scottish Highlands, and every inch of land Charles Cross is always missing a piece...you know what I mean."

"I understand," Lockhart said calmly, "so we're trying to take more responsibility too."

Major hit the snake with a stick: "What kind of responsibility? I'm not talking about oil and drug sales. You know, that can only be regarded as a win-win benefit."

"Providing medical services for the royal family is not considered?" Lockhart sighed, "Although those people have been telling me that Muggles are greedy ghosts, I have always refused to believe it, because I am also half Muggle blood .”

"Of course not." The Prime Minister finally found a chance to make his appeal, "Although I tried my best to tell those departments that they don't need to worry, but... hearing is believing, seeing is believing, right?"

"You mean we have to show more sincerity if we want to normalize the relationship?" Lockhart asked.

"Of course, of course!" the Prime Minister said loudly, waving his hands. "We have no intention of being unfriendly, but being honest is beneficial to both of us."

"So, what do you want?" Lockhart asked patiently.

"That competition... that competition called the Big Five Tournament, the second event is held

When I want to find time to go to the scene to have a look. "

"No problem, as long as you want."

"Bring one more person by the way."

Lockhart smiled: "I guess that must be an experienced security professional...

I can agree to your request, but I also need to meet that expert. "

The Prime Minister stretched out his hand: "Deal?"

Chapter 310 Nine Latin Men

After returning to Hogsmeade, Lockhart couldn't help sighing in his heart that it was so difficult to do something these days.

Wizards don't trust Muggles, and Muggles don't trust wizards either.The people in the middle are not pleasing to both sides. On the contrary, wizards like Voldemort of the United Kingdom, the Purifiers of the United States, and the "right wing" among Muggles are more appealing. Thousands of people respond with a shout.

And there is only one thing Lockhart can rely on, and that is profit.

As a loyal believer in Adam Smith's "The Wealth of Nations", he firmly believes that the benefits of a more reasonable allocation of resources will make the theory of the "dark forest" chain of suspicion mentioned in "The Three-Body Problem" lose its father.

It's just that he has a headache right now—that is, he has to take care of the wizard's side of the business, and he can't spare himself to make arrangements for the Muggle side.

And if he ignores the Muggle side for too long, not to mention that the speed of the layout will stagnate, even if the Muggle Prime Minister has no one to show his face for too long, he will inevitably be suspicious-and the recent incident is a wake-up call .

Lockhart felt that he had to find someone to watch over there, as his representative, to exist on the Muggle side for a long time.

That being said, this representative is not easy to find.

First of all, this person must be a pure-blood wizard. If he is a Muggle-born wizard, he may unconsciously lean towards the Muggle position;

Secondly, this person cannot have a good relationship with either Fudge or Dumbledore: otherwise, it will be difficult to implement his will;

In addition, this person has to have some spellcasting ability, at least he can't lose face to wizards on the Muggle side;

Of course, the most important point is that he must have some interests in the Muggle side

, otherwise it is hard to believe that he will work hard.It would be even better if he is proficient in Muggle dress and speech, and has some living experience in Muggle society.

…well, Lockhart didn't need to be reminded that such a person was hard to find.

Lockhart sighed, and decided to inspect the preparations for the second event of the Big Five Tournament.

Unsurprisingly, the first match of the Tournament did exactly as he wished, and it exploded all over the world.

Facing the self-boasting of the Ministry of Magic and the compliments of his colleagues, Lockhart was very calm, because he took it for granted.

Wizards are not lacking in entertainment compared to Muggles, and they are very colorful.In addition to small games such as gobstones, cards, and wizard chess for people's entertainment, there are newspapers, books, and radio stations, and Quidditch has replaced football as a national sport.

The reason why Quidditch can become a national sport is because it takes on the social topic between wizards and wizards. As Hermione complained, "Aren't you going to talk about anything other than Quidditch?" When strange wizards meet and don't know what to say, you can't go wrong talking about Quidditch.

It’s just that if you always talk about one topic, people will always get bored. Therefore, in addition to the Quidditch League and the World Cup, wizards also need a celebratory nature, the main body is composed of the national political system, has economic value, and tolerates multiculturalism. A large-scale event of exchange attributes, the resurrection of the Triwizard Tournament just came into being.

Since there are many stakeholders and media involved in it from various countries, they are all sparing no effort to promote this matter. Coupled with the unknowingly simple nationalistic spirit of wizards, it is difficult for wizards not to pay attention to it, so its popularity is also It became a matter of course.

The media that bought the reporting rights from various countries have sent their best reporters here

Hogsmeade, and passed the process of the first game back to their country.

Although each country has different reports, thanks to the brilliant writing of the reporters, the wizards who generally lacked social topics after the World Cup quickly found new points of interest.

As far as Lockhart knew, the newspapers reporting on the day of the competition in various countries generally reprinted two or three times, and columns discussing the competition began to appear one after another in the newspapers, and there were many well-known authors among them.

Once the effect is achieved, it will be easy to handle, and then Lockhart can use the game to achieve his goals in an open and honest manner.

As the preparation party for the competition, Lockhart of course had to secretly take care of the warriors of his country, but he couldn't be too deliberate in the project arrangement, which was very embarrassing.

However, on Thanksgiving before the second project, five school warriors will be organized for a Quidditch friendship business match, 5 vs 5, without goalkeepers and seekers, and the game time is two hours .

Although this is a commercially sponsored event, Lockhart knows that the warriors will not refuse, because the proceeds from the ticket sales of this game will be used to donate to the Muggle victims of the sinking of the "Estonia" ship that sank in the Finnish waters on September 9 family members.

The wizards of northern Europe are not sure if the ship sank because of encounters with kuraken sea monsters, but when the ship sank, the sea monsters were indeed active there, and if so, responsible for observing and recording sea monster activities The wizard in the school is undoubtedly suspected of dereliction of duty, and as the alma mater of that wizard, Durmstrang may also have shame on his face.

Charity is always an admirable move. Not to mention that Durmstrang, who is located in Northern Europe, wants to wipe the ass of his own disciples. Even Dumbledore did not express any dissatisfaction with this schedule, and the self-proclaimed humanistic brilliance focuses The French in the land will not refuse

Just as Lockhart was planning to go to Cedric and Harry to discuss filming promotions during the weekend

While watching the movie, he bumped into someone right next to Harry.

"God, you've been selected as a warrior too, I didn't know it at all!" Sirius Black said to Harry, "I was participating in a modified motorcycle hill-climbing race in Southeast Asia, and went to drink after winning the championship. Only then did I realize that you were actually selected as a warrior, this is really..."

Harry looked a bit overwhelmed by his godfather's enthusiasm, but he tried to correct him anyway: "Not a warrior, just a warrior's squire."

"All the same, didn't you shine in the first game?"

Sirius gave Harry a friendly pat on the head, messing up his hair even more

"Damn it, I didn't watch the game live, but I assure you, I won't miss any of the next few games..."

"Thank you, Sirius." Harry quickly escaped from the godfather's claws: "I have another Quidditch match next week, but this time I have to be the Chaser."

Sirius was overjoyed: "Really? James was also a Chaser back then, you can try a few more positions... Oh, Gilderoy, is it okay for you to come to Harry too?"

Looking at Gilderoy Lockhart who suddenly appeared in front of him, and his strange eyes, Sirius felt a little faint for some reason.

Chapter 320 Rate the Donkey

When Lockhart offered to let him go to work, Sirius initially refused.

Because he is living a very good life now, he can play wherever he wants, buy whatever he wants, and there is no nagging old woman to control him, he is as free as a Thai who has taken off his collar. di same

But Lockhart told him very seriously that he couldn't go on like this, such a life of idleness would completely destroy him.

Sirius lost his composure after hearing "loafing around".

"Hey, who are you calling idle?" He asked dissatisfied.

But Lockhart will not save face for him: "It seems that that person is not only idle, but also has no idea... Tell me, what have you done in the past ten months?"

"I"

Sirius subconsciously opened his mouth to refute, but after being stuck in the shell for a long time, he couldn't say anything.

Except for running around and playing like crazy, he really didn't seem to do anything, except for shopping, he went to Italy, France, Malaysia... In short, running around by himself.

He was a little guilty at first, but then he remembered that he didn't seem to need to work.

"You don't care." He said, "I'm not short of money."

Lockhart sighed heavily: Newell heard, Harry... your godfather means that as long as you have money, you don't have to work.You don't have to go to school anymore, just drop out and go play Quidditch. "

""Really? "Harry beamed with joy.

"Hey, wait!" Sirius quickly dragged his godson behind him, "Don't listen to his nonsense, we study to make ourselves a capable person, and only after you have the ability can you have the right to choose your social class , you can't catch a golden snitch for a lifetime."

These were the things that old Mrs. Black had been whispering in his ear, and though Sirius had always ignored them, something seemed to have burned into his brain so that when he needed blurted out

"Really? But you just said clearly..." Harry looked puzzled.

Lockhart suddenly discovered that Harry had learned badly at some point, and was able to cooperate with himself in acting seemingly innocently. He didn't believe that Harry really didn't understand anything.

Although Sirius is almost 30 years old, he is even worse than his godson in this respect, because he really believes.

"Damn it!" He was furious. "Can't you let me rest for another year or so and enjoy my life? I just stayed in Azkaban for ten years! And there is no good job worth doing right now."

"No, there just so happens to be an honorable, honorable job waiting for you that no non-hero can do," Lockhart told him, "and it's a perfect fit for you."

"what?"

Lockhart did not answer Sirius directly, but turned to Harry Potter first

"Harry, have you seen the "007" series of movies?"

"Only watched part of it," Harry admitted, "I used to watch TV secretly when the Dursleys weren't home, so I didn't watch a whole movie, just a few clips, and Dave Power Collectible Poster - Bond, James Bond, right?"

"Really. That's just right. There are new films I bought back. You can go and see them.

oo But that's not what I'm talking about, it's about your godfather.If he also went to work under "Mrs. M" and became a real secret agent, would you be willing?" Lockhart asked.

"Cool!" Harry blurted out.

No matter how stupid Sirius was, he also discovered Lockhart's purpose at this time-this guy just wanted to pull himself to work.
