Harry Potter’s Defense Professor

Chapter 394: The Post-War World

In order to give these gradually idle Ministry of Magic staff something to do, so as not to let them think about it all day long, Lockhart held several internal meetings and arranged the work for the next stage:

1. Continue to follow the original plan, use regulations and benefits to guide or entice wizards to register their data, and restore the order to the pre-war state as soon as possible.

2. If the enemy does not move, we will not move. Keep the Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts well. As long as there is no problem with the audit of internal tendencies and loyalty, no matter how big the enemy's conspiracy is, they will not be able to overthrow the sky.

3. Under the cooperation and guidance of Muggle scientists, the Department of Mysteries quickly developed anti-radiation magic. After success, they sent people to dig out the energy supply core deep underground. Lockhart asked the construction crew to rush to work and strive to restore the defense and the flyway network as soon as possible.

4. Arrange for the Wizarding Level Examination and ensure that it ends smoothly.

The Dark Lord brought all the Death Eaters with him, as if they had evaporated, and he didn't show up for a long time. After the initial panic, the mood of the people gradually stabilized, and the speed of restoration of order accelerated again. Wizards began to come to sign up for the Ministry of Magic one after another. The shortage of manpower Gradually eased, the fleeing strikers turned themselves in and asked for pardon seeing that the war seemed to be over.

Coupled with the smooth implementation of the new Wizarding Law, the arrival of the Muggle government's special funds for wizards and the search of Gringotts have made the funds unprecedentedly sufficient. Not only did Lockhart and Sirius fill in all the money they lent to the Ministry of Magic, they even pocketed a small fortune. Neutral wizards also began to join Strikers and Aurors under the huge benefits and temptations.

With the expansion of the law enforcement team, the Ministry of Magic has already begun to plan to send wizards to reopen branches across the country... If there is no accident in the plan, after the end of the senior wizard level exam in June this year, a new batch of Aurors and workers will be added. personnel, the Floo network can be restarted, and order in the wizarding world can be completely restored.

Pandora also returned to Hogwarts. With Lockhart greeting the headmaster Snape and the headmasters Slughorn and Lupine, she didn't have much chance to get in touch with the two girls Hermione. But the latter obviously came to the conclusion that she did not accept sharing a husband with him by observing Pandora's words and deeds, and often contacted Lockhart on a note. Between the lines are filled with pride.

Speaking of Hogwarts, after the secret passage in the Room of Requirement was sealed, the aphrodisiac Ginny finally couldn't run around anymore, so she could only pitifully harass Lockhart with notes all day long. As long as he responded casually, he could ignore the message from the little witch.

——

Weeks passed, new power lines for the Ministry's defenses had been reconnected to the Great Crystal, and the restoration of the Floo Network was imminent. As time went on after the return of peace, the Death Eaters imprisoned included wizards convicted of assisting Death Eaters during the war. The attitude of the people has also gradually changed—the arrested wizards have gradually changed from "followers and accomplices of the Dark Lord" to "those who were deceived or coerced by the Dark Lord and led astray".

Undoubtedly, the Aurors and the Order of the Phoenix who were directly involved in the war were not included among these people who healed their scars and forgot the pain. The upper-level officials of the Ministry of Magic all spoke in unison: even if these Death Eaters are really "not bad in nature", it is the same as judging whether a person is a hero or not. commit crime.

The annoying things don't just come from the enemy - the news that Lockhart killed a large number of "resisters" in the process of arresting the Death Eaters around London caused an uproar even more - although he didn't let go, but The people are not fools: it is understandable for the Death Eaters to resist arrest, but how could the whole family violently resist arrest?

Even if he resists arrest, with Lockhart's strength he can defeat the Dark Lord. Can't they be captured alive instead of killing them all?

Lockhart's image in the eyes of the public is also gradually changing amidst the debate. From the beginning "the mentor of the savior" and "the hero who defeated the Dark Lord", it gradually became "a self-willed killer".

Following a string of positive titles over the years,

Lockhart finally earned a negative nickname: "The White Demon". It means that although he is standing opposite the Dark Lord, his behavior is similar to that of the other party.

Naturally—those Death Eaters who were ordered by the "White Demon" to be imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Magic have transformed into poor people who were persecuted because of the wrong line.

Lockhart didn't give any response to these messy objections and controversies from the outside world, and he didn't even bother to let Rita guide the public opinion. Because no matter how violent these ordinary wizards are, it is impossible for the middle and upper-level officials of the Ministry of Magic to be all Aurors and the Order of the Phoenix. Evict him or something.

Killing one person is a murderer, killing dozens or hundreds is called a homicide, killing tens of thousands...is called a male, killing hundreds of millions-only men and women can do it. Now these messy troubles. Lockhart felt that it was simply because he didn't kill enough people. He also knew that he was a little out of control that day. He didn't need to do it himself at all to kill these people. No one is qualified or able to judge himself.

——

The Wizarding Rank Exams are finally over. At the end of June, Hogwarts was on vacation, and most of the students went to join their parents who had moved to London. Only a few families who refused to move returned to their remote homes under the escort of Ministry of Magic strikers.

The members of the Order of the Phoenix were finally able to gather openly again. On the night of the Hogwarts holiday, all the core members of the Order of the Phoenix had dinner at Grimmauld Place again—because the Floo network had not been restored, everyone either lived in the headquarters or Living in the Ministry of Magic, I dare not leave London to go home (fortunately, the house of the Black family is big enough) to celebrate the graduation of the Salvation Trio.

The aphrodisiac effect in Ginny finally weakened and disappeared two weeks before the holiday - Lockhart, as the person involved, naturally had the most intuitive experience: Ginny stopped harassing him with notes a few days ago. When the Burrow met, they didn't jump on him like crazy anymore. Instead, he blushed slightly, and gouged him out with his sexy bright brown eyes, not sure if he was annoyed that Lockhart was pouring himself an aphrodisiac, or angry that he was being taken advantage of.

Lockhart felt relieved about this, Ginny is a very likable girl, but the appearance of drinking the aphrodisiac is really too ruinous, it is better to be normal.
