Harry Potter’s Defense Professor

"Remember." Harry bowed his head and was disciplined obediently.

Blake suddenly remembered one thing: "We destroyed Horcrux before, and the mysterious man didn't have such a big reaction."

"Dumbledore said he wounded You-Know-Who," Lockhart put away his wand. "It doesn't look like he's badly injured. I guess he's become more sensitive after the injury, of course, there are also It may be because there are only three Horcruxes left, and after the number decreases, the induction between the mysterious man and the Horcrux becomes sharper."

——

After chatting with each other for a while, the Auror who was sent out to buy food and daily necessities came back, and he also brought back a copy of the Daily Prophet. The food was distributed, and in the afternoon sun, everyone sat on the ground eating, drinking and refueling while listening to Scrimgeour's recitation.

"Late night last night, the famous wizard Albus Dumbledore, and... ahem... Rufus Scrimgeour, the former head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, joined forces to defect and attack the Ministry of Magic. Under his heroic leadership, he repelled the renegade wizards..." Scrimgeour reluctantly read, "After Dumbledore returned to Hogwarts, the school teachers and students, led by two heroic professors, killed the The headmaster of Hogwarts whose brain has been corrupted by black magic...these two professors are Severus Snape and Gilderoy Lockhart."

There was a sound of inhalation, everyone looked at Lockhart, and some even pulled out their wands. Lockhart himself was startled, how could he have his own share? Was it Snape who betrayed the Order of the Phoenix, or was it a conspiracy of the Ministry of Magic controlled by the Death Eaters?

Scrimgeour glanced up at Lockhart and waved to the people around him: "Don't be nervous, I don't think Gilderoy was involved in this, as the papers said he and Snape were interviewed at the Ministry of Magic this morning. , and Gilderoy was running away with us at that time."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the man who drew his wand smiled awkwardly at Lockhart and put it away.

"Someone pretending to be Gilderoy!" Moody's magic eye glanced at Lockhart curiously, confirming again that he was right. "But why didn't you get him into our gang?"

"I guess it was a while ago... The Ministry of Magic made him an anti-black magic hero. The star-making campaign was so successful, and he has always been a celebrity, it would be difficult to convince the public that he suddenly defected to the Ministry of Magic." Hermione sat cross-legged on the ground and made her guess.

"In terms of fame and prestige, Gilderoy will never be greater than Headmaster Dumbledore." Anna shook her head, "Since they labeled the Headmaster as a villain, they didn't smear Gildero by the way, and even said he was a murderer. Dumbledore's hero died. Then next time they want to call him a villain, it's hard to believe."

"That's right,

There must be a conspiracy here..." Scrimgeour nodded, "We can guess that the fake Lockhart should have been impersonating him for a long time, maybe to use his fame to quickly grasp the public opinion support of the wizarding world? "

"This guess is the most reliable..." Anna drank a can of beverages and threw the bottle away. "Keep reading, Rufus."

"After Dumbledore was killed, the renegade former head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement fled Hogwarts with a large number of renegade Aurors... The Ministry of Magic calls on wizards to actively provide clues to the renegade wizards..." Scrimgeour Shaking his head, he put down the newspaper. "It's all nonsense next, the list of mutiny wizards... What happened, you see, I'll go to rest for a while."

Scrimgeour put down the newspaper, stepped aside and lay down on a blanket. People who were not injured and who were not resting scrambled for the newspaper, each of which was separated and held by one person, who sat on the ground and read it. Hermione took one too and sat down beside Lockhart to read.

"The above actually said that Dumbledore had a plan to rebel against the Minister of Magic. It even said that the Dark Lord's resurrection and the prophecy about the savior were all fabricated by the Headmaster... In order to divert the attention of the wizards." Hermione frowned. Looking at the newspaper, "If I am a mysterious person, my next move is to further whitewash myself and the Death Eaters under my command, and push all the bad things they have done for so many years on the head of the principal - now the principal There's no way to refute it..."

"Alas..." Harry was obviously struck by the news of Dumbledore's death, and sat on the side staring blankly at his wand. Like many members of the Order of the Phoenix who were familiar with and trusted Dumbledore, he still held out hope and looked forward to it. Dumbledore can suddenly jump out and defeat Voldemort, and then tell everyone that this is one of his schemes.

"You have become the new head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement! Oh no, it's the fake one, here's some news... Gilderoy." Anna called out, "- Gilderoy Lockhart announced his dismissal from Huo Huo. The professorship of Gwarts was invited by the Minister of Magic to serve as the new director of the executive department, and his courses were taught by Professor Snape, and it is estimated that the headmaster of Hogwarts will also be held by Professor Snape..."

Who is that fake Lockhart, and what is he trying to do? Lockhart's thoughts are like a mess now. To be honest, he is ready to be instantly beaten into a rebellion. Follow Scrimgeour, and if there is hope, he will resist. If things don't work... he will flee to the United States. find his parents. With the Elder Wand in his hand, he wanted to run, and how many people could stop him. He had neither Voldemort's Soul Fragment nor the Mark of the Darkness on him, and no one could find him if he tried to hide. But now that a fake self appeared out of nowhere, he felt uneasy.

——

The forests of early autumn in Scotland, even in the afternoon, were still surrounded by a touch of dampness. Some Aurors had tossed for a night and a morning, and now they plan to rest; the injured Aurors carefully treated their wounds with the help of colleagues— - The most unfortunate thing is that he was burned by the fierce fire in the chaotic battle. The healing spell was ineffective, and he could only use a Muggle-like method to wait for the wound to heal on his own.

"What are we going to do next?" Hermione also took a blanket and spread it on the ground, curled up beside Lockhart, with her head resting on his thighs as he sat cross-legged.

"Female warrior, didn't you say you don't care about me, don't lean on my thigh!" Lockhart said pretending to be annoyed.

Hermione snorted softly and rolled over on the blanket, her arms resting on his thighs, her chin resting on them. Although he said he didn't want her anymore, he couldn't take it seriously. Lockhart shook his head helplessly, stroking Hermione's hair with his fingers and running across her tender neck: "Didn't you say you can make an idea, but you give some suggestion."

"I can only come up with ideas, but what to do now, the goal is not clear!" Hermione complained softly.

"Find a safe place first, destroy the Horcrux, and then..." Lockhart was never a leader, and he really didn't want to use his brain. "Listen to Mad Eye and Scrimgeour."

"Um..." After a little quarrel, as she wished, she stayed and fought against Voldemort with Lockhart. Hermione immediately changed from an independent and self-reliant female warrior to a gentle and clingy little girl. "Guidero, do you want to rest for a while?"

"No, lie down for a while." Lockhart shook his head. "I want something."
