Harry Potter’s Defense Professor

Professor McGonagall passed away after fighting death for several days and nights in St. Mungo's. For this, the Order of the Phoenix didn't even have time to give her a grand funeral. I could only say goodbye briefly and bury him in the wizard cemetery.

Snape's headmaster's office had a portrait of McGonagall hung on the wall just a few days after Dumbledore's portrait. She is the second female headmistress in the history of Hogwarts, and she is also the one who has been in office for the shortest time. From the time Snape was "driven away" to the time he was seriously injured and sent to St. Mungo's, she has been busy preparing to welcome him. The Death Eaters were sieging him, and he didn't even enjoy the privilege of changing the password to enter the principal's office.

The little bit of goodwill Lockhart had accumulated towards the Death Eaters because Hermione was fine disappeared with the death of McGonagall. Lockhart wanted to do nothing now except kill all the Death Eaters in the world to avenge her and Moody.

The addresses of all the Death Eater manors that had been protected by the Fidelity Curse were known. What Lockhart had to do now was to search from house to house to see if they knew the whereabouts of the gold cup. If you encounter the Dark Lord, immediately notify the people in the Transportation Department and use the backup power supply to connect to the floo network to allow reinforcements to enter.

The first person to welcome Lockhart was the Travers family. This family's address is less than fifty miles from the Ministry of Magic. After the Loyalty Charm expired, although the manor was still invisible, it could be found by force. .

Not to mention that like the Regiman family, the entire manor was so big that even the Concealment Curse couldn't hide the grounds and walls. Lockhart floated over the manor and cast a powerful invisibility-breaking spell towards the part of the ground where the house should have been.

A strong light flashed, and the concealment spell covering the house shattered like a soap bubble, revealing the building inside... The huge house felt like only a few people lived in it. It seemed that the old, weak, sick and disabled had hid in the countryside or other places. What a safe place to go.

The floo network was disabled, so Lockhart didn't have to worry about anyone in the room escaping, so he had free time to break in.

——

A spell came towards him, Lockhart blocked it with a wave of his hand, and used a disarming spell to knock away the opponent's wand. A paralyzing spell restrained him.

"How dare you resist..." Lockhart was a little surprised and walked up to a man who was lying on the ground numbly.

Another wave of magic came from the side, and a weak spell flew over from the stairs. A second later, the caster was also subdued by Lockhart - it was a young wizard. Lockhart didn't know him, he probably wasn't his student or he never attended Hogwarts.

"Don't hurt my child!" Travers struggled and said, "I surrender, I will go back to the Ministry of Magic with you..."

"Knowing the Dark Lord's Horcrux, where is Hufflepuff's golden cup?" Lockhart didn't answer at all. Ask directly the questions that concern you most. "If you can help me find this thing, I will spare your life."

"I don't know, I don't know, I've never heard of it!" the middle-aged man said in horror, "But I can help identify others, and I am willing to tell everything I know - our traitor in the Ministry of Magic at the time, and... …”

"Severus has told me this, it's no secret," Lockhart said disdainfully.

identify? The principle of presumption of innocence was invalid in this tragic British wizarding civil war. All suspected persons were examined with Legilimency and Veritaserum, and those who refused to be examined were directly arrested as Death Eaters. There was no need for Death Eaters to be tainted witnesses.

Lockhart put his wand to Travers' head and began Legilimency.

This guy had practiced some Occlumency, but Lockhart unceremoniously broke through this layer of protection in his brain. With the help of the Elder Wand, the breakthrough and memory reading were very easy.

"Let him go, we surrender and plead guilty!" Another middle-aged woman rushed out of the room. Under the pressure of the intruder's powerful momentum, she did not dare to resist at all, and stood more than ten meters away in fear and shouted.

"The Travers family participated in the violent resistance of arrest by members of the Death Eaters. They were shot dead on the spot." Lockhart stood up angrily.

With a cold look at Mrs. Travers, he pronounced his death sentence.

"No--" A green light flashed, and Travers had lost his breath. correct. Her wife is also a Death Eater, so go to hell to accompany her husband!

"You devil, I'm going to kill you! Kill you!" Little Travers yelled crazily as his parents were killed in front of his eyes, "You wait, ten or twenty years later. I I will definitely have the strength to kill you!"

The young wizard's face was twisted with hatred. This scene made Lockhart's mania gradually lose control.

"Really? Ambitious... When is the time to retaliate? It's best to eliminate the root cause!" Lockhart raised his wand and pointed it at him: "I'm sorry, I'm a coward, I won't wait for you ten or twenty years! "

——

A few minutes later, Lockhart wiped his mouth and left, notifying the Ministry of Magic's aftermath personnel to deal with the incident.

Travers only knew that the Dark Lord had made Horcruxes, but he didn't know the details of how many of them there were, what they were, and where they were. But he had the Mark of the Dark, and he was the type of person Lockhart had long vowed to kill. And his wife was not a good person either. She even participated in the battle that wiped out the entire Auror army. Now she was just forced to give in due to the threat to her life.

The most standardized approach is, of course, to arrest them, put them on trial, and then execute them or imprison them for life.

But Voldemort hasn't been killed yet. If he avoids fighting, Lockhart really has nothing to do. Even if he fights openly, Lockhart has no confidence that he can be killed - these core Death Eaters, if they don't die at this time, are just time bombs. When will the Dark Lord use some kind of evil black magic to kill him? Their strength has skyrocketed, and they want to take action. As long as they break the prison, rescue them, and then go up to the top to shout... there will be another bloody storm.

Britain has been the country with the most wizards in Europe since the end of World War II, and is proud of it... But if these wizards themselves are not united, they might as well have fewer wizards!

Due to old and new grudges, and for the sake of safety, Lockhart ruthlessly killed both Travers and his wife. However, he was angered by the cruel words of two Death Eater children and viciously killed a young boy and his wife. A girl who is no more than twelve or thirteen years old is completely out of control if she sucks her dry and kills her...

By the time he came to his senses, all four members of the Travers family were dead.

how so? Apart from the thought of sucking blood, now I can't even control the urge to kill? Lockhart thought to himself, how could he act like he was the Dark Lord?

(No, the Ministry of Magic has captured and imprisoned enough people now, almost surpassing the number of Aurors and Strikers. I can't add any more pressure to them. And the two children just killed were Death Eaters. ...may be innocent, but if you don’t want to be like the villains in all classic revenge stories - when you win and are ready to enjoy life, but have to face revenge from the descendants of the enemy in the dark, you must eradicate it!)

But maybe some Death Eaters really don't want to fight Voldemort anymore?

(Hmph, if they didn’t exist, which one of those Death Eaters wouldn’t be happily waiting to enjoy a superior life? How many of those Death Eater families were sincere when Voldemort was first killed more than ten years ago? Surrender and repent? But after the Dark Lord came back, didn't he follow this guy and make trouble again? These people from the pure-blood family are just mean!)

On the way to the next target, Lockhart seemed to have two voices debating in his head. He made a lot of excuses for his murderous behavior, but found that he couldn't completely convince himself. After struggling for a while, he cursed It seemed that he had been induced to have another seizure: it was as if a steel needle had exploded in his head, cutting the inside of his skull into pieces. The severe pain caused him to lose consciousness and autonomy for a moment, and he almost fell down while flying in the air.

After barely recovering, Lockhart became furious at his own gaffe: Stop thinking nonsense! During the rise of the Dark Lord, how many Muggles in Britain were turned into inferi? If we follow the principle of equality between wizards and Muggles, even killing everyone in the prison will not be enough! What's more, when Moody died, he had already sworn to kill all the Death Eaters in Britain, so just do it, no reason is needed for revenge!

——

Kill all the Death Eaters and root them out!

Lockhart became red-eyed and killed more than a dozen members of the Nott family, but still did not get the whereabouts of the gold cup.

After this killing, he discovered the key point. As long as he followed his desires, killed when he wanted, and drank blood when he wanted, then the curse would not seem to exist, and there would be no loss of control or headache at all.

Lockhart himself also knew that this situation was a bit bad, but fortunately it did not happen when he stayed with his own people. When Snape's magic stone was made, he would consider clearing the curse.

No, not yet. Voldemort is not dead yet and he used the Philosopher's Stone to remove the curse. Who is going to deal with him?

Let’s not think about this yet.

——

When he reached the third place, he actually encountered an ambush - five senior Death Eaters and a dozen young men were waiting for him in the Yaxley family house, seemingly to protect the young and old. leave. These were all Death Eaters who had escaped and reunited after the previous failed siege of Hogwarts. Yaxley was included, obviously trying to try to see if they could kill Lockhart.

It's a pity that the Dark Lord obviously didn't tell them how powerful Lockhart was, let alone show up to participate in the battle. This time, Lockhart also enjoyed the experience of fighting several of the best wizards. Faced with the huge gap in magical affinity, the dozen wizards were completely unable to achieve the goal of quantity over quality. All those with the Mark of the Dark were killed. Only a few fled hastily in different directions on broomsticks. Lockhart did not waste any effort. Chase them all down.

There was a female Death Eater he didn't kill, not because she was beautiful, but because she was Lockhart's elementary school girl named Vivian Clark, two years below him, and they were still on good terms at the time. of.
