Harry Potter’s Defense Professor

Chapter 196 Year-end Meeting (1)

It was December, and for the first time since school started, Lockhart received a notice of the Society of the Phoenix meeting. Without a doubt, this is an important meeting.

"What a terrible year! It's finally coming to an end!" Moody said in a relaxed tone, not sure if he meant the end of time or something.

"It's freezing to death outside!" Looking at the scenery outside the window, the cold wind whistled and the snow was flying. Tonks said dejectedly, "The business Remus saw in Hogsmeade was just average!"

"Britain is getting more and more chaotic, and the Death Eaters have begun to kill Muggles and Muggle wizards frequently, trying to force the Ministry of Magic and the Muggle government to bow their heads!" Kingsley also appeared at the meeting rarely, "Muggle Prime Minister He complained to me every day for a while, begging us to get rid of that 'what demon' quickly. His tone was as if I could deal with You-Know-Who alone! How could the Death Eaters kill Muggles to scare people, we have nothing but passive defense There's nothing to do."

"Maybe we could kill the purebloods who might support the You-Know-Who to terrorize the Death Eaters?" Lockhart said jokingly.

"Good idea!" Tonks also cooperated with Lockhart, "Kill all those 'noble' pure-blood families, and the Death Eaters will have no financial support and inner support!"

"Don't make trouble, before you finish killing, the wizarding world will change." Black said dissatisfiedly, "And am I also the target of your slaughter?"

"Okay, stop giggling!" Moody shouted. "We can't kill the purebloods to scare the Death Eaters, but we can deal with the Death Eaters' non-human friends and leave them alone."

"What, found the Dementor?" Lockhart asked in surprise.

"It's almost there. After more than a month of careful manual search, the possible gathering places of dementors have been ruled out to only two places left. Only one step away, we can act."

"Why are there two left?" Tonks asked stupidly.

"Because dementors have been discovered in both locations!" Moody glared at Tonks, "The action time should be in the tenth of this month, and we have to wait for Scrimgeour's news. In order to prevent leaks, all Ministry of Magic staff will be notified that this is an exercise."

"The Ministry of Magic has exercised nearly ten times in the second half of this year..." Arthur said gloomily, holding his chin, "Almost all the people in the department have to participate, and they are exhausted."

"The specific action plan is as follows. For the sake of insurance, the people of the Order of the Phoenix will also participate in the action at that time. Hogwarts will have a holiday by then." Moody's magic eye looked at Lockhart, "You come too. !"

"Okay," said Lockhart helplessly, "Hogwarts is off two weeks before Christmas, and I should be able to find time."

"Don't have to, now the staff is very tight, we must be there!" Moody tapped the table to emphasize, and then began to introduce the specific plan: "When the time comes, our people will be concentrated here first, and then mixed with the Auror team of the Ministry of Magic. Entering the field, our main task with the Aurors is to intercept possible Death Eater reinforcements and Mysterious Men."

"You-Know-Who will show up too?" Lupin asked uneasily. "How many Aurors will we have?"

"At least forty, in fact, I brought out several!" Moody seemed to be proud to announce, "Dumbledore will also hide by the side, so don't worry, Dementors will be specially dealt with Dementors. We can deal with the dark wizards and dementors who slip through the net! Scrimgeour is ready for the appearance of the mysterious man, and if he dares to appear, we guarantee that he will never come back!"

"Very good." Snape's eyes also had a terrifying gleam. "I'll try my best to let the Dark Lord come to rescue the Dementors."

Moody waved to Snape: "No, I don't think you can convince You-Know-Who to make a decision, just give him some irrelevant information as usual, just to be on the safe side.

"

Lockhart suddenly remembered something, and asked Arthur with curiosity: "By the way, Arthur, I heard that the Ministry of Magic has established diplomatic relations with Chinese wizards, how about the Chinese wizards stationed in the Ministry of Magic, how many are they? How's your strength?"

"Four, two men and two women, with average strength, but they all look good. I always thought Chinese and Indians were the same." Arthur recalled, "However, they seem to be a little nervous recently, I I heard that there is a major change in the Chinese wizarding world, and there is a group of wizards who are ready to take over the power again, I don’t know what happened.”

"Hey, could it be that those wizards from the hermitage faction can't stand their loneliness and are going to come out?" Lockhart asked in surprise, "Don't the strongest wizards support hermitage."

"Don't ask me, I don't know anything, you have to ask the Department of International Magical Cooperation." Arthur shook his head, "There is no need to make such an exaggeration, as long as you don't intermarry with Muggles in large numbers, the quality of wizards is very important. Without much impact, seclusion is simply torturing yourself."

"Stop!" Moody patted the table and interrupted Lockhart and Arthur's conversation: "Worry about yourself first! There is one more important thing." Moody took a locket from his pocket: "Last month , Dumbledore has taken Harry to that place to get the 'horcrux', unfortunately, this is fake."

In November, I secretly went to get the Horcrux, and I did it without knowing it! Don't you have some memories that you haven't seen yet? But having said that, Lockhart doesn't really want to read the remaining two memories. The most important thing now is that he finally has the opportunity to take out that real Horcrux.

Moody took out a locket, hung it in his hand, and showed it to everyone. Compared to the one that those present had seen in Ogden's memory, this one was neither that large nor lacking the patterned logo, nor the flamboyant "S" that is characteristic of Slytherin.

But Black immediately stood up in shock: "This looks like something from our Black family!"

"Oh, yes," said Moody nonchalantly, and opened the locket, which contained nothing but a folded piece of parchment tightly tucked in where the portrait had been placed.

Moody skillfully took out the piece of parchment, opened it, and read in a muffled voice:

To the Dark Lord:

I was dead before you read this but I want you to know that I discovered your secret.

I stole the real Horcrux and intend to destroy it as soon as possible.

I am willing to die because I hope you can be killed when you meet your opponent.

R.A.B.

"So do you know who R.A.B. is, Sirius?" Moody looked at Black after reading the note.

"R.A.B., R.A.B.!" The shock on Black's face grew stronger. "That's my brother - Regulus Arcturus Black!"

Blake stood up and leaned forward, grabbed the parchment in his hand, and looked at the message on it. Slowly, tears blurred his eyes

"Sireth, condolences." Lockhart stood up and patted him on the shoulder, then walked out of the conference room under the strange eyes of everyone, "I'm going to the toilet."

Damn, go to the toilet, what a lame excuse. Lockhart rushed upstairs in a few steps, ran to his room, ripped the Slytherin locket out of the bedside table, and rushed into Regulus Arcturus. Black's, the room with R.A.B. on the door, tucked under the covers.

After doing all this hastily, Lockhart went downstairs and returned to the conference room. At this time, Sirius Black was clutching the note and sobbing, and everyone in the room was comforting him.

"Sireth, don't cry, we should now think about where the real Horcrux is." After sitting down, Lockhart calmed his heart and said. "Avenge your brother, that's the most important thing."

"You're right... Gilderoy," Blake wiped his tears and read the note again, "to avenge Regulus..."

"Sireth..." Tonks glanced sadly at Black, then at Moody. "Mad Eye, any ideas?"

"Since R.A.B. is Sirius' younger brother, according to the note, it is clear that the real Horcrux is in Regulus' hands, but..." Moody frowned, "he said he was dead. Now, how did you die? Has the Horcrux been destroyed now, and if not, where is it, there is nothing."

Looking at the conference table, no one remembered it, and Lockhart had no choice but to remind: "Maybe we can take a look in Regulus's room, maybe there is something to be gained."

"Good idea, Sirius, is Regulus's room still there?" Moody's magic eye turned to Black again.

"Always, hardly moved." Blake had stopped his tears, "Come with me."

The group walked out of the conference room, passed the kitchen, and came to this room upstairs. There was a small plaque on the door, and the paint underneath was deeply scratched. They stopped at the door to take a closer look, and this was a small, imposing sign:

No entry to Regulus Arcturus Black without my express permission

Clearly, no one had any more questions, and people stepped over the threshold into the bedroom and looked around. Regulus' bedroom was a little smaller than Sirius's, but it felt just as palatial. Unlike Sirius, who wanted to show his rebellion, Regulus emphasized the exact opposite. Slytherin silver and green are everywhere, covering beds, walls and windows. The bedside, carefully depicted with the Blake family crest and the motto "Always Pure", has many yellowed clippings glued into an irregular collage below. These things even Lockhart hadn't noticed before rushing in.

"It's all about voldemort," Tonks concluded after examining the clippings on the wall. "Regulus seems to have become a Death Eater after a few years of worship..."

"The original ghouls did not torment Muggles and hemp wizards as they do now, in fact, Death Eaters meant those who devoured death, just as the name 'Voldemort' meant - 'one who flew away from death' . At first they called themselves Knights of Walpus, and they followed Mysterio for blood and power, and perhaps immortality."

Moody's qualifications are relatively old, and he began to give his younger generations popular science knowledge: "Regulus joined the ghouls at the age of 16. From the beginning of 'serving the Dark Lord for glory' to the final resistance with life, there should be a reason. , I personally guess - it is very likely that the mysterious man gradually revealed his true colors, when he discovered that the mysterious man was not promoting pure blood, but used brutal means to rule other people, even the mysterious man himself was not a pure blood When Regulus realized he was completely wrong, it also gave him the idea to fight Voldemort, but I don't know where he got the courage to fight to the death."

"The analysis makes sense, Crazy Eye." Lockhart nodded, "Courage or something, this 20-year-old young man has a hot brain... It's a pity that it's useless, now we have to find out The question is, did Regulus destroy that Horcrux, and if not, where is the Horcrux now?"

"Little Gilderoy, how dare you say I'm talking nonsense." Moody glared at Lockhart with his magic eyes, "But it makes sense, let's start looking."

PS: (Staying at Hogwarts, where the war can’t be affected, is really a bit boring, but unlike readers, the protagonist would rather be like this for the rest of his life. But God or the author will not agree. Ask for a recommendation ticket… …)
