Harry Potter’s Defense Professor

September has arrived, and the Ministry of Magic has carried out several reforms. In order to facilitate the pursuit of Death Eaters who have fled abroad, and also to quickly dispatch wizards to assist when organizations similar to Death Eaters spawn in other European countries, British Magic After communicating with the French Ministry of Magic, the Ministry began to build a cross-sea hearth line.

The famous wizard prison Azkaban was reopened after renovations, and all the sentenced wizards were put back into it. The Dementor extermination order was cancelled, and the Ministry of Magic did not learn from the previous lessons and sent them to guard the prison again. Opposition to this law suddenly overshadowed the debate on marriage laws and became the hottest topic after the Dark Lord was eliminated.

Mr. Scrimgeour, the Deputy Minister of Magic, openly opposed this "reform" that was not a reform. It is said that he had quarreled with Minister Lockhart several times in the Minister's Office over this matter, and the relationship between the two suddenly deteriorated to a freezing point.

As more and more wizards immigrated to the UK, Hogwarts, at the urging of the Ministry of Magic, abolished the rule that only British and Irish wizards were admitted. In addition, the school has been using the sorting system for a thousand years. It was abolished because it was considered sloppy and easy to create divisions and conflicts. Instead, children are sorted according to their interests and ambitions.

The adults have some discussions about this, but almost no children care about it, because among the dozen transfer students welcomed to Hogwarts this year, there is a little girl named Gabrielle Delacour, who is said to have Veela blood. , extremely beautiful - after a summer vacation, except for still having trouble controlling herself when seeing her idol, the little Veela can basically control her charm ability. She also started school on time like other little wizards. The girls were nervous about her arrival and the boys were excited.

The Spells and Magical Research Department of the Department of Mysteries also began to recruit people to resume work as Lockhart hoped. He specially gave the Resurrection Stone, the only one in the Deathly Hallows that he could not figure out its function, to the Department of Mysteries. , ordered the wizard's scientific research institution to figure out its function, and based on its principles, restore the technology of multiple complex enchantments on a magic item invented by the Peverell brothers.

After experiments, the function of the Resurrection Stone was quickly determined - contrary to previous speculation that it could summon the souls of the dead, its function was actually very simple: through the cooperation of several magics. Causes the user to hallucinate and see a loved one who has passed away.

But what the user can see is actually only the person in their imagination. The other person's memory, personality, body, appearance... all come from the user's memory. Even the words that the user wants to hear are what the user wants to hear: for example, if Dumbledore sees his sister using the Resurrection Stone, she will gently express that he forgives his brother; if Harry sees his parents, they will encourage his son to fight bravely. Go down...

Compared with the Elder Wand and the Invisibility Cloak, the Resurrection Stone is probably the most useless thing among the three Deathly Hallows. Only those who are not determined will need its encouragement... But then again. People are not machines. Who has never wavered?

Although not very practical, the enchantments on the Resurrection Stone are far more complex and subtle than those of its two brothers. How did the Peverell brothers attach so many different but non-conflicting magics to such a small thing? As long as we understand this, wouldn't it be possible to mass-produce high-quality invisibility cloaks and powerful wands, and even bring about a magic revolution in the entire wizarding world?

Everything in the wizarding world has not changed for too long, and it is time for a revolution.

The crime rate among wizards has dropped to the lowest level in history, and the focus of the Aurors and Strikers has become the search for Voldemort's last Horcrux. This task is not easy, and Voldemort has obviously learned his lesson. There was no special place for this last Horcrux. The wizards of the British Ministry of Magic turned over every place where Voldemort and the Death Eaters had been stationed, but they still found no trace of the golden cup. Some people even asked a soothsayer to figure out where the thing was, but they didn't. People can make such accurate non-event predictions...

But all this,

Lockhart no longer knows or needs to be personally involved - he has now decided to enjoy life and from now on he will only give orders behind the scenes and never show up or do anything himself.

In the six months before the last big event, Lockhart held weddings to two girls. Although his parents were a little surprised by the two daughters-in-law, his mother supported him unconditionally. As for the father - compared with the fact that his wife told him that she was a witch more than twenty years ago, the matter of two daughters-in-law does not seem so absurd.

As a Muggle, Baron Lockhart obviously preferred Hermione, whose life and language habits were exactly the same as those of Muggles; and the shrewd Baroness, although she found both daughters-in-law very lovable. But he still favored her more in front of Pandora, lest the girl feel left out.

Subsequently, Lockhart began to be busy realizing his wish to "transform the Order of the Phoenix from a small wizarding group into a large transnational forum-type organization composed of highly qualified and enlightened wizards."

This wish is grand and difficult to realize. But he is known as the strongest wizard in his own right and manages one-third of the wizards in Europe. Even with a close relationship with the Chinese Ministry of Magic, which has the largest number of registered wizards in the world, the Order of the Phoenix even has a tendency to become the United Nations of the wizarding world...

February 1999. If nothing else happens, Lockhart will no longer be Minister for Magic next month.

"Are you the new leader of the Dementors?"

"Yes, Mr. Minister..." A man in black robes answered Lockhart across the minister's desk.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a Dementor floating low to the ground, vibrating the air, and carefully answering the Minister of Magic's questions.

"Do you have any objections to those seniors who I ordered to execute you half a year ago?" Lockhart asked with a warm look on his face.

"No, sir, they foolishly chose to surrender to Voldemort, which almost brought annihilation to our species. They brought it upon themselves, deserve to die—"

"I'm glad you are so sensible." Lockhart said with a satisfied look on his face: "Then I am going to entrust you to do something now. If you do it well, I will give the dementors a better life. If you don't do it well, you will Starving in Azkaban for the rest of my life..."

"Mr. Minister..." Dementor quickly expressed his loyalty: "I am willing to serve you."

"There are not many prisoners in Azkaban now. Yesterday, the last batch of wizards whose sentences were commuted to six months were released from prison..." Lockhart said lightly: "You know the remaining prisoners are What do they have in common?”

"Are they all Death Eaters? No - some are not, they are all men? Um..."

Seeing that the Dementors were being stumped, Lockhart shook his head and stopped trying to make excuses: "These remaining people are either crazy bloodists who killed my Auror comrades in the war, or they were killed by me. Those who have lost loved ones and have a grudge against me... some are stubborn, and some have grudges against me or threaten me. What they have in common is that they are all people I want to kill!"

The Dementor trembled at Lockhart's cold tone, and replied more carefully: "But - if you want to kill them, wouldn't it be better to just sentence them to death?"

"It's not that simple. I don't want to get into trouble!" Lockhart glared at the Dementor: "You don't need to know too much, you just need to understand my intentions."

"You mean, let us - but if the dementors take action... the wizard will not let us go. "

"But what if the prisoners escape?" Lockhart asked with a smile: "With me here, what are you afraid of? At eleven o'clock tonight, the dementors will just kill the prisoners who are still in the prison, and then notify the Ministry of Magic that the prisoners Escape from prison and the people from the Ministry of Magic will fake the scene for you."

"But without the prisoners, the dementors can't survive...Mr. Minister."

"After you finish this job, I will allow you to go to Muggle cities to fill your stomachs." Lockhart replied: "As long as you control your numbers and don't kill anyone, I will turn a blind eye. One eye."

"This -" This dementor, who was only a few years old and had almost no experience, was moved. Now the crime rate of wizards has dropped, and batches of prisoners who were originally locked up have completed their sentences or even had their sentences reduced. They are here almost every day. starving.

Lockhart leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes: "This is an order, not a request. Now go back. Remember, I am a very superstitious person. If anyone else knows about this, even if it is not you, It’s your fault, and I will blame it on you.”

"Yes, Mr. Minister." The Dementor bowed in mid-air and floated out of the door. Lockhart was left behind, his eyes flashing.

Most prisoners only have a few months to a year or two left in their sentences. Will they escape? Dementors with a little age and brains would probably be aware of the conspiracy, but they are all dead. Now the dementors are just a bunch of brainless babies.

Even if something is wrong, so what? Even if after everything is over, some dementors can survive Scrimgeour's perfect trap and run to the street and tell the wizard that they have been framed, the only thing that will greet them is the magic wand. Squirting patronus instead of listening and trusting.
