Harry Potter’s Defense Professor

"But then almost the entire Order of the Phoenix will come. What if your Death Eaters are so unbearable that they can't even hold back a few of them, and they all attack you?" Lockhart shook his head, "I'm taking unnecessary risks now. I don’t want to take any chances, the safer the better…”

"It's risky for you to tell her this." Snape said dissatisfiedly, "She doesn't know how to do Occlumency."

"I can, but I'm not as proficient as you." McGonagall said, "If what you say is true, I will maintain Occlumency throughout the whole process from now on. But it's not that I underestimate the enemy, there is no Death Eater in Hogwarts. Being able to use Legilimency on me—"

"It's good that you alone know. When Harry comes in with the Order of the Phoenix, you jump out and challenge Severus to a duel. He will be defeated and leave the school..."

"It's unnecessary." Mag said, "Can't you just leave?"

"We don't know if there are any hidden little Death Eaters among the students in the school. Severus must be willing to fight before leaving -" Lockhart explained. "Severus told me that the Dark Lord forbade him to leave. School."

"Yes, after I leave school, I will work with Gilderoy to lure the Dark Lord to deal with him..." Snape said, "The Dark Lord hates when his subordinates disobey orders, even if they are wrong orders or for any reason. No way... So before I completely fall out, I can't do anything to resist his orders. I must maintain his trust - so, just know this yourself, Minerva, don't tell anyone, There are many people in the school and the more people know about it, the more dangerous I am."

"How do you want to deal with the mysterious man?" Although McGonagall was still vigilant at this time, she was already convinced: Even if Lockhart's strength has not changed at all in the six months since he escaped from the school, he and Snape will join forces to deal with her. It was all so easy, there was no need to make up all this nonsense to try and make her careless.

"We are about to discuss the details, and you can help us check and see if there are any loopholes or areas that can be improved." Lockhart said, he could have asked Hermione to help with ideas, but when she heard that she wanted Going crazy when dealing with mysterious people.

"I don't know what good plan he has." Snape also turned to look at Lockhart.

"The plan is roughly the same as yours," Lockhart said. "The only change is that I embedded it into a larger plan. The Order of the Phoenix will capture Hogwarts on the night of the 30th. The Ministry of Magic should React immediately, but it should not be an overnight attack - after all, we have Slytherin students as hostages, and as long as Harry does not show his face in front of the opponent, they should not attack desperately immediately. This is why I asked Harry not to attack immediately Showing up. The reason why professors, students and even elves did not come forward until it was necessary to defend the school."

"I know what you mean," McGonagall said, "I won't let Harry appear in front of everyone before the Death Eater army starts attacking Hogwarts."

"And after Severus is 'driven away' by you, he will choose a place with me far away from Hogwarts and the Ministry of Magic, and notify the mysterious man there. The savior was caught by him——"

"So this is another reason why Harry can't appear in front of others immediately?" McGonagall understood immediately.

"Yes, after the mysterious man is lured by us, we will find a way to deal with the snake named Nagini among his last two Horcruxes - if he really keeps it with him as Sif said, If you hold it," Lockhart said, "and maybe even fight him..."

"This is no different from what I said before. You haven't explained many things yet - how to escape if we can't beat us, whether we need to set up some traps..."

"We will discuss it. If you still have the dagger, give it to me first." Lockhart nodded. "I will look like Harry then. Pretend to be subdued by Severus, and what Severus has to do is - Convince the mysterious man not to kill me directly, but to let the snake bite me."

"Bite you?" Mag didn't understand. "What does this have to do with destroying Horcruxes?"

"You have to get close to the snake to attack it,

The spell has no effect on it. "

"The Dark Lord will become very talkative when he is in a good mood..." Snape opened a drawer in his desk and said uncertainly with a frown, "But this state is very unstable. To sum up, he is moody."

"Let him go. I am accompanying you this time just to satisfy your willful request." Lockhart didn't care, "We have you as an internal response, and we can use many safer methods to get there." On May 1st, I temporarily lured the mysterious man away, such as attracting him to go abroad or something. But I chose the most risky one: including him in the calculation. If he didn't let the snake bite me as planned, then Just start fighting right away. If you can survive, you'll maim and kill them. If you can't defeat them, wait until 8:59, or even 59 seconds before apparating away."

"At this critical moment, he won't chase anyone abroad... and if he can't be dealt with together, he will also respond to the call and summon many Death Eaters to fight back - you see the Dark Lord is seizing the Ministry of Magic. At that time, he planned it together with Dumbledore." Snape took out the dagger from under the pile of things in the drawer and threw it over, "Why is it eight fifty-nine? What is the special meaning of this time? ?"

"That's because they had the defense system of the Ministry of Magic as an ambush to ensure that they could defeat Dumbledore before they dared to do this... Think about it, what would happen if Dumbledore defeated the Dark Lord in that battle? Lockhart asked, raising his hand to catch the dagger. "The reason why it must be eight fifty-nine is because the energy supply system of the Ministry of Magic will be cut off on time at nine o'clock. If the two of us cannot defeat the mysterious man and cannot apparate away before this time, then If you can't run away, you can only die heroically."

"But why do you two need to deal with the mysterious man? Can't we do it together?" Mag asked, "At least we can still help -"

"We don't have enough people," Lockhart explained. "All the members of the Order of the Phoenix plus a large number of helpers seem to be powerful, but the average strength is not strong. Still, only relying on the school can contain the large number of Death Eaters and strikers, plus me and Sev to distract the mysterious man. This is Everything is to ensure that in the third, more important place - the battlefield of attacking the Ministry of Magic, our Aurors can have an absolute advantage in quantity and quality of troops and quickly capture the Ministry of Magic in a short period of time."

"The Dark Lord's appearance at Hogwarts or on either battlefield at the Ministry of Magic will have fatal consequences." Snape said, "Gilderoy's plan should be to end the battle at the Ministry of Magic quickly... After this news reached the ears of the attackers who attacked Hogwarts, these people quickly lost their will to fight, leaving only the Death Eaters stubbornly resisting. But if the Dark Lord appears on the battlefield, it will boost the enemy's morale. And if we didn’t have the Order of the Phoenix and the Aurors who have a particularly firm stance, they would not be able to exert their full strength because of fear.”

"Yes, the mysterious man does have such intimidation and reputation, but I don't." Lockhart said, "Only Dumbledore in the world has defeated him, and Harry has killed him once, but after that he In several direct battles with mysterious people, he did not show the ability that a savior should have, and he just managed to escape under the cover of others——"

"If you can defeat him in front of everyone, you will instantly have greater prestige than him." Mag said.

"The key is that we can't guarantee that we can defeat him. Even the mysterious man himself... is obviously stronger than Dumbledore. When he was determined to deal with Dumbledore, he set a trap in the Ministry of Magic before he dared to do it..." Lockhart shook his head. "In the past two years, every time I made a judgment like 'How many people should be able to deal with him' or 'This time should be able to deal with him,' he would immediately jump out and slap me in the face. Crazy Eyes ... He even lost more than twenty Aurors, including himself, for similar wrong judgments. Therefore, since I was 'killed' last time, I swore that I would never have such thoughts again." Lockhart Secretly clenched his fists. "Severus thinks that my strength is about the same as that of the mysterious man now, but I have to assume that he has some back-ups. At the same time, because of my sudden increase in strength, I can never compare to him in terms of combat skills and trump cards -"

"You can set some traps at the ambush location."

"I have thought about it before, but after reaching the current state of the mysterious man and I, the wizard's perception of magic fluctuations and dangers will be extremely acute. Only actions without hostility and without any magic power can a sneak attack be successful -" Loha Whether Te was suddenly grabbed by Zhang Jianshuo's arm or hugged by Ginny, he did not have any prejudgment beforehand, because neither of them was hostile and did not use magic. "The mysterious man has no reason to fight like Dumbledore. With his temper, he will definitely leave immediately if he finds something wrong. What is a trap without hostility and magic fluctuations like... I really can't imagine it. Although I know Ma Gua has a powerful enough weapon that could possibly kill him, but the consequences would be too great...not an option yet."

"Well, Professor McGonagall, do you have any other suggestions?" Snape asked.

"Severus was kicked out of Hogwarts by me, and then caught the savior on the way to escape? Isn't it a bit of a coincidence." McGonagall completely relaxed and even changed the name of Snape.

"Indeed, this is the only possible flaw in this plan." Lockhart admitted, "But I don't have a better way. Do you have any good ideas?"

"You can first disguise yourself as Harry in another place and let other Death Eaters find out-" McGonagall frowned, and the horizontal lines on her forehead were straightened. "Then Severus ran to that place after escaping Hogwarts and captured the Savior..."

"It seems like a good idea. I'm worried about what to do if the Order of the Phoenix takes over the school and the mysterious man personally brings people to attack..." Lockhart said, "Let's pick a place first, and I will go there to make some The news of the savior's activities attracted the attention of the mysterious man - then after you leave Hogwarts, go to the place we agreed on nearby, catch me, and then summon the mysterious man."

"Okay, let's pick a place." Snape took out the map from the drawer again, opened it and let it float in the air. "To stay away from London and Hogwarts, there are two options, near Manchester between the two, or the northernmost area of ​​Scotland -"
