Harry Potter’s Defense Professor

"Even if the Dark Lord wanted to kill a Death Eater, he would never use such a dirty, contemptible, despicable method, and then explain it with such far-fetched reasons, Dumbledore." Snape sneered, "The Dark Lord will tell that person plainly what he's annoyed himself with and how he's going to kill him and end his life in front of him."

"That's right," Lockhart added angrily, "if the lives of members of the Order of the Phoenix were so worthless, I would consider defecting to the Death Eaters!"

"Gidro's words are my opinion!" Mundungus has also emerged, he rarely speaks at meetings, but this time the discussion concerns his own vital interests.

"Gildrow!" Professor McGonagall glanced at Lockhart dissatisfiedly, but Lockhart told him firmly with his eyes that he really thought so, McGonagall had to look at Dumbledore: "Mr. Headmaster, You'd better explain right away, what's the 'important thing' that keeps you too busy to ignore our lives?"

Dumbledore shook his head ashamedly, he really had no reason for this, and he was not ready to excuse himself: "I got some useful news from Mundungus a few months ago. , through this information, I found a place where Voldemort may have hidden his Horcruxes."

"Then find out quickly and destroy it! What's the dawdling?" Hagrid also seemed a little anxious.

"This is exactly what I want to do..." Dumbledore looked innocent, but no one sympathized with him, "That place is protected by quite complex magic, and it took me two months to break the outer magic. , but the last barrier is obviously pretty tough black magic... I haven't figured out what it does and how it works for weeks."

"Didn't you ask Gilderoy for help sooner?" Moody finally spoke, "The man who claims to be the best at dealing with black magic in the world, is it because you were raised at Hogwarts to teach that group of students? Or are you going to wait? Did you let him play until you died?"

Lockhart was embarrassed for a while. His title is very good, but people in the Order of the Phoenix are willing to believe it. People's logic is very simple - Dumbledore is the strongest white wizard, and he trusts and supports the black magic that is re-elected. The defense class professor is the best at dealing with black magic in the world... that makes perfect sense!

"You are right, Alastor, I am obviously too confident in the magical knowledge I have accumulated in the past hundred years, so that when I encounter a magic that I cannot understand, I study it so much that I forget you all. I am willing to use an unbreakable oath to restrain myself and promise not to make the same mistakes again.”

"An unbreakable oath can't strengthen an old man's memory," Snape said sarcastically. "Can't you think of another way? If you really use an unbreakable oath, next time you forget to tell the person to avoid it. In times of danger, the Order of the Phoenix will lose two people, including you."

"You're right, Severus." Dumbledore nodded in agreement without blush, "Well, I'll try not to use this dangerous method to gain Voldemort's trust in the future. I will tell the person what happened in front of you, and then I will execute it."

"I hope you do what you say!" Sirius began to cover for Dumbledore. "Otherwise, I will definitely quit the Order of the Phoenix! What about Emmeline's family?"

"The Headmaster never breaks his promise." Hagrid also spoke stupidly for Dumbledore.

Dumbledore glanced at everyone gratefully, then turned to Lockhart: "Gildrow, before I insisted on breaking Voldemort's protective magic by myself, this is stupid and childish behavior. The first rest day after school, I will take you to help me see, I believe you will have a solution."

"I'm willing to serve." Although Lockhart was a little uneasy, he still had some research on black magic after all, not really ignorant. Even if he couldn't crack it, he would still have Dumbledore on his back, so it wouldn't be too embarrassing. And if you guessed correctly, the place Dumbledore found was where the fake pendant was hidden.

"As for Emmeline...I'll negotiate with Mr. Minister, give her the status of being killed in the Ministry of Magic, and I'll go to Emmeline's house in person and apologize in front of her family..." Dumbledore said sadly, "I'll make arrangements for her child, too. Now, let's go, it's too dangerous to stay together."

"I hope this kind of thing doesn't happen again, Mr. Principal." Before the meeting was over, seeing that there were still people who were still angry, Professor McGonagall added.

After the meeting, Mundungus didn't leave, but leaned over and asked Lockhart with a smile, "Gidero, did you bring me anything good from China?"

"You've just died, and you still care about this!" Lockhart was really a little angry, why is Mundungus so ignorant of current affairs?

"I am in the dirtiest and darkest corner of the world, and I see dead people every day." Mundungus said indifferently, "but I have to live, you say."

Well, maybe he's right, and Lockhart doesn't like to comment on other people's lifestyles and come up with something: "Well, gold crafts, and some jewelry, they're all valuable, don't take them as stolen goods. You can sell it in one go, and you can put it at home.”

"Thank you, Gilderoy!" Mundungus took the things happily, "You will always be my good friend."

Lockhart shrugged, this kind of friend is lucky not to steal his property after he is dead: "If you like it, go back."

"Professor, Sirius, what happened?" Harry couldn't help asking after everyone left.

"Something went wrong, Harry," Sirius said. "You don't know."

"Is it because of Malfoy!" Harry was excited. "Yesterday, the Weasleys and I went shopping in Diagon Alley and saw Malfoy and his mother sneaking around..."

"What happened to them?" Sirius asked curiously, "Can you be seen sneaking around?"

"I followed them with the Invisibility Cloak! They went into the Borgin-Bock store," said Harry, "and started viciously ordering the guy in the shop — Borgin to fix something for him. Then he said he wanted Berkin to fix something for him. Kim kept another thing for him. It was the same thing that needed fixing, as he meant. It was like a pair. Later..."

Although Lockhart wanted to be serious~www.readwn.com~, he still showed an expression of control, and Harry took a deep breath.

"And something else. When Madam Malfoy tried to touch Malfoy's left arm, he jumped 80 feet away. I think he was branded with the Dark Mark. I think he was the Death Eater in his father's place. only."

Sirius interrupted Harry and said, "Harry, I don't believe that You-Know-Who would let a sixteen-year-old—"

"Does anyone really know what You-Know-Who can and can't do?" Harry asked resentfully. "But isn't it worth investigating? If Malfoy has something to fix and Borgin needs to be threatened. He fixes it, that thing is probably related to black magic, it's dangerous, right?"

"It makes sense, Harry," Sirius said helplessly. "We'll tell your Uncle Arthur about it, and let him check on Malfoy's house, okay?"

"Professor, you have to watch Malfoy at school too!" Harry said stubbornly, "He must be doing something at school."

"I will." Harry didn't say that Lockhart had to watch Malfoy - whether Dumbledore was successfully assassinated by Draco Malfoy, or Draco Malfoy was injured, it was now Unacceptable to Lockhart.

"Don't perfunctory me!" Harry said worriedly, "You always treat me like a child!"

"When will I be perfunctory!" Although Lockhart is often perfunctory, this time his serious answer was questioned, which made him very uncomfortable.

"I'm sorry...Professor..." Harry still respects Lockhart very much. After all, Lockhart has always been perfect in front of him, and he has a very tall image in Harry's heart.

"Okay, go to sleep, school starts soon!"
