From Azkaban

"Om~~~"

The magic worked with a clear sound, and the disc elevator began to fall rapidly, sending Locke to the ground.

The disc elevator was falling at an extremely fast speed, but because of the magic, Locke who was standing on it did not feel any discomfort or weightlessness. When it was about to land, the disc suddenly slowed down and stopped at a very unscientific speed. Locke who was standing on the disc did not feel any inertia at all.

Because most of the members were on the top floor, there was only one carriage parked on the road when Locke walked out of the building.

"bang"

Locke passed through the automatically opened carriage door, and the door closed after he got on the carriage. The carriage started automatically and drove towards the new exit of Knockturn Alley.

"The development of link technology must be accelerated. Now it is not only needed in the consciousness space. If the barrier of Knockturn Alley can use the entire technology, then we can rest assured."

Locke sat in the carriage, looking at the magical sky outside through the window, and had already begun to think about the iteration problem of the Knockturn Alley magic barrier.

This is Locke's habit. He will never be satisfied with the current technology. If he has something good, he will want something better. As soon as he solves the new generation of technology, he will naturally start thinking about the next iteration.

On the one hand, he has such a habit because he is from the future, and on the other hand, the path of magic is really too wonderful.

Walking on this magical and wonderful road, Locke will never see the limit, and every step forward he takes will bring him new gains and surprises.

This experience made Locke unwilling to stop from the bottom of his heart. In his limited life, he wanted to gain as many surprises as possible on the road of magic and go as far as possible on this wonderful road.

........................

The carriage was moving very fast. It passed through the new entrance and exit set up by Locke and appeared on a small road in London. After turning slightly, it headed towards Malfoy Manor.

When Locke arrived at Malfoy Manor, the sky was gradually getting dark, but Locke did not rest. Instead, he found Snape and began to receive one-on-one teaching from the potion master.

The study time passed quickly. Late at night, Locke returned to the hall to continue studying alone. He finished in the early morning and began his daily meditation.

The next day, not long after Locke finished teaching the six children and returned to the hall, Lucius knocked on the door of the hall with a list.

"My Lord, the list you requested has been compiled."

Lucius stood in front of Locke, bent down and handed a rolled parchment to Locke with both hands.

"Has Knockturn Alley been dealt with?"

Lucius's efficiency was a little beyond Locke's expectations. Reaching out to take the list handed over by Lucius, Locke asked casually.

"Knockturn Alley is basically fine now. Thanks to the publicity from the dark wizards who were left behind and some members, other dark wizards have gradually entered Knockturn Alley through the new entrance and exit."

When Lucius heard Locke asking about Knockturn Alley, there was a hint of pride in his tone.

But he also had reason to be proud. He was able to handle everything so quickly and get Knockturn Alley back in business in the shortest possible time, which was enough to show his ability.

"You did very well"

Hearing Lucius's answer, Locke nodded in satisfaction, and the list automatically flew out of his hand and unfolded in front of Locke.

"My lord, this includes all the Muggle wizards in the British wizarding world right now. Except for the new students who are still studying at Hogwarts or have received notification but have not yet started school, most of them work in the Ministry of Magic and Gringotts, and the remaining small number is not fixed."

Listening to Lucius' report, Locke put his hands behind his back and quickly scanned the list.

The list was very detailed. Lucius divided all the Muggle wizards into major categories, including students, the Ministry of Magic, and Gringotts. It was impossible to determine the four major categories.

At the same time, in the four major categories, each name is followed by basic information, such as the number of people in the family, their job position, age, or school age, gender and general ability assessment.

"This is such a comprehensive information on Ministry staff, you asked Arthur for help."

Among the four major categories, the information about Muggle wizards in the Ministry of Magic is the most comprehensive. Locke doesn't think that Lucius has such powerful means to be able to do all this in such a short time.

"Yes sir, all the information about Muggle wizards in the Ministry of Magic was collected by Arthur."

Lucius nodded. To be honest, this collaboration also allowed him to understand Arthur Weasley's power in the Ministry of Magic, which was much more efficient than if he had used his connections.

"Well, in that case, tell Arthur to make his own judgment and contact those Muggle wizards he thinks he can contact. At the same time, conduct an in-depth investigation of their family backgrounds and send them to me after sorting them out."

"I'll let Arthur know in a minute."

Hearing Lucius' answer, Locke shifted his gaze from the Ministry of Magic to Gringotts.

"There's no need to force it on Gringotts' side. I remember Arthur's eldest son is working as a curse breaker at Gringotts. Let him go and try to make contact."

As for Gringotts, Locke had already listed it as a target for cleansing. After all, how could the economic lifeline of a civilization be controlled by a race that loves money so much.

Volume 1: Chapter 83: A Fantastic Scene Never Imagined

After Gringotts and the Ministry of Magic, the only ones left are Hogwarts students and a small number of unknown persons.

Locke just glanced casually at the part he was unsure of, and then focused his attention on the list of Muggle students in Hogwarts.

Compared to the adult Muggle wizards who have grown up and are working, or even married now, these young Muggle wizards who are still in school are the ones that Locke really cares about.

Because these young wizards who have not yet truly stepped into the magical society, their values ​​and outlook have not yet been completely influenced by the traditional ideas of the magical world. They are still in a state of having one foot in the magical world and half foot in the Muggle world.

Like the other adult Muggle wizards on the list, except for a small number that cannot be determined, all of them have completely entered the wizarding world and abandoned the Muggle world.

It is no exaggeration to say that some Muggle wizards may have abandoned their relatives in the Muggle world, in order to show that they have completely drawn a line between themselves and the Muggle world, just to better integrate themselves into the magical world.

Therefore, adult Muggle wizards are just a little addition to Locke's plan. It's fine to have them, but it's not a big problem if you don't have them. Just treat it as an advance contact to keep a backup so that it will be convenient when you need it in the future.

“These children’s exposure….”

Looking at the rather long list of student names, Locke began to ponder. He first thought of Snape, then the Weasley twins, Ron, and Arthur's third son who was obsessed with power.

"Not enough, this is not enough."

As for the Muggle wizards and witches studying in Hogwarts, Locke did not intend to contact their parents directly as that would be too abrupt.

The most appropriate thing to do is to let people get in touch with these little wizards and build relationships with them first, and then use their mouths to tell their parents the news that Locke will visit, so that the little wizards can also have an impression of Locke and the Round Table.

In this way, as long as their parents are brought into the team, the little wizards will definitely choose to join. In that case, including the existing members, Locke will have planted the seeds in Hogwarts.

This seed will grow little by little in Hogwarts, and will eventually germinate and grow at the right time to help Locke solve the problems of Hogwarts.

"Lucius, I asked you to solve the problem of the pure-blood family before. How is it going now?"

Locke thought about it and suddenly thought of the pure-blood families. A large number of their children were in Hogwarts. Taking them down would be equivalent to taking down the entire Slytherin College.

"Please rest assured, sir. I have already made a plan for this matter. As the news of Knockturn Alley spreads, no family will be left out. I expect those families to contact me by tonight at the latest."

Compared to coming to the families on their own initiative, Lucius prefers to have those families visit him.

After all, those families are not Locke. They were either following the Malfoy family to take advantage of them, or they were gradually declining. It was a great honor and opportunity for them that Locke was willing to find them.

In Lucius's opinion, those pure-blood families should take the initiative to come forward and express their opinions in the face of the opportunities bestowed upon them by Locke.

"It seems that you have your own plan. So tell me, when can this be done?"

Looking at Lucius's confident face, Locke wanted to see what answer he could give.

"If all goes well, they will come to see you tomorrow morning."

It was obvious that Lucius was really confident, and Locke was very satisfied with his answer.

"Okay, then Severus and I will switch classes tomorrow. I hope you won't let me down Lucius."

"Don't worry, sir."

Lucius picked up his cane and leaned forward slightly, the smile on his face exuding strong confidence.

"By the way Lucius, I remember you were a member of the Hogwarts Board of Governors, right?"

Lucius stood up from his bent position. In just one second, various speculations kept emerging in his mind. Finally, he came to a conclusion that Locke was planning to attack Hogwarts.

"Sir, you remember correctly, I am indeed one of the directors of Hogwarts. But sir, please forgive me for overstepping my bounds, you are planning to do something to Hogwarts..."

Lucius looked at Locke hesitantly. He felt that there was no need to touch Hogwarts. After all, there was an old lion in there who was not to be trifled with.

"Don't think too much. I do have ideas about Hogwarts. Or think about it, can our career avoid Hogwarts?"

Locke understood what Lucius meant in seconds, but he was obviously overthinking it. After hearing what Locke said, Lucius also thought about it and found that Hogwarts was indeed unavoidable.

"But Dumbledore..."

Locke raised his hand to interrupt Lucius, smiled slightly at his puzzled look, and then spoke.

"There is something wrong with your thinking. Why do you naturally regard Dumbledore as an enemy? I have said before that we should become the majority and unite all the forces that can be united. In my opinion, Dumbledore can also become one of us."

As for Dumbledore, although Locke has been complaining about him, his strength and wisdom, knowledge and achievements are undeniable.

At the same time, his prestige in the British and even the world's magical community is unquestionable. Once such a person is recruited, the benefits will be innumerable. Locke is out of his mind and has to fight him to the death.

"ah.....?"

Bringing Dumbledore into the group was something Lucius had never imagined. After all, up to this point, he had always regarded Dumbledore as an extremely powerful enemy.

Now Locke suddenly said that his plan was to bring him into their team. Lucius really couldn't imagine what the scene would be like.

"If Dumbledore joins, he plus Lord Locke......."

Lucius couldn't help but gasp. One was the White Devil, recognized as the strongest, and the other was Locke, who was definitely not weaker than him. When the two of them joined forces (Grindelwald cried violently), Lucius felt that Voldemort was not so scary anymore.

"Well, don't think too much about it. It's all still unknown. You don't need to worry about Dumbledore. Just think of him as an old man who imprisoned himself in Hogwarts and is waiting to retire. What you need to do is contact other school directors and make them part of our team, just like the pure-blood families."

Without letting Lucius indulge in that dream scene for too long, Locke rolled up the list and handed it back to Lucius. Seeing this, Lucius quickly reached out and grabbed it.

"Go ahead"

Locke stopped looking at Lucius and leaned back onto a chair that rose from the ground. At the same time, a book flew out from the pile of books nearby, quickly flew to Locke's chest and opened automatically.

Seeing this, Lucius bowed slightly and quietly left the hall.

Volume 1: Chapter 84: The Minister of Magic

Lucius walked out of the manor, got on a carriage and headed to Knockturn Alley to start dealing with the things Locke had just arranged.

Activating the ring in his hand, Lucius' consciousness withdrew from his body, and soon he opened his eyes in the space of consciousness.

“What a wonderful feeling!”

Standing in the space of consciousness, Lucius stood there in ecstasy for a few seconds. This was what he basically did every time he came in.

In addition to Lucius, there were several figures sitting or standing in the consciousness space at this moment, including Arthur. At this moment, he was sitting in an airplane that seemed to be able to fly no matter how he looked at it, and was constantly turning back and forth in the air with an excited look on his face.

"Arthur, come down for a moment. I have brought the Lord's order."

Lucius opened his eyes and shouted to Arthur Weasley who was having fun in the sky. Ever since this guy got his seat, he would come into the consciousness space and have fun every day.

If the adults hadn't set a two-hour limit, Lucius felt that Arthur Weasley would come in as soon as he had time.

"You're here Lucius, wait a minute, I'll be right over!"

Because they were in the space of consciousness, Lucius easily transmitted his voice, which was accurately transmitted to Arthur's ears. Arthur, who heard the voice, responded in the same way.

Because they are now in the same camp, and their four children are studying with Locke together with Draco in Lucius's manor, the relationship between Lucius and Arthur Weasley is no longer as incompatible as before.

"Tell me, Lucius, what are the orders from the Lord?"

Arthur flew the plane in front of Lucius. The plane disappeared the moment he landed and his feet landed steadily.

"How is it............"

Lucius did not waste any time and quickly conveyed Locke's meaning to Arthur.

"Is that so? I understand. I will do it. But as for Hogwarts... is there really no problem, Lucius?"

A worried look appeared on Arthur's face. Although he had no doubt about Locke's ability now, that was Dumbledore. If Locke really took action against Hogwarts, Arthur also felt that Locke would most likely confront Dumbledore.

"Your Excellency is confident in your heart. You and I don't need to worry about these things. We just need to do our own things. If you are still worried, take some time to visit Knockturn Alley. Knockturn Alley is now different from the past after being in the hands of Your Excellency."

Speaking of Knockturn Alley today, Lucius had a heartfelt respect for Locke, and at the same time he couldn't help but wonder if that place could really still be called an "alley".

"But it doesn't matter if you don't come to see it. The news about Knockturn Alley will spread quickly in the wizarding world. The Ministry of Magic will definitely pay attention to it. With your connections in the Ministry of Magic, you will definitely know about it first."

"But Arthur, although the Lord did not say it, we all know it very well. After all, you are the only member currently working in the Ministry of Magic. The Lord does not seem to intend to use violence against the Ministry of Magic. There is only one way left, which is to control it from the inside."

Lucius paused at this point, and only continued speaking after seeing that Arthur Weasley's expression had become serious.

"To be honest, I didn't have high hopes for you at first, but this cooperation proves that I was wrong before. I apologize to you for this."

Lucius bowed slightly to Arthur Weasley with an extremely serious expression on his face. In fact, this cooperation was all Lucius's plan.

This time Locke asked him to collect the list of names. He could obviously handle it all by himself and take all the credit, but he didn't do that. Instead, he followed Locke's instructions and found Arthur and handed the matter over to him.

However, Lucius was not sure of Arthur's ability at that time, so in order to ensure that what Locke had arranged would not be delayed, he had already taken action before finding Arthur, using money to pave the way and using his own connections to investigate at the same time.

It can be said that no matter whether Arthur can succeed in the end, Lucius will not delay the collection of the list.

Lucius did this just to see Arthur's abilities and his powerful connections in the Ministry of Magic.

Unlike the others who followed Locke out of Azkaban, Arthur Weasley's situation destined him to be more special than others.

As Locke's only person in the Ministry of Magic, there is no need to explain what he represents.

As his subordinates, Lucius and others knew very well that Locke's vision was too broad, and whether now or in the future, it would definitely not be limited to a small British magical world.
