"Applying for a search of Gringotts?" Scrimgeour looked up strangely from the pile of papers. "Gidro, I'm not questioning you. You always have this idea that comes out of your head. I don't think the Death Eaters will put things that are not good for us in the vault."

"I suspect that You-Know-Who will hide the Horcrux in the vault of some pure-blood family in Gringotts...especially Lestrange, that Bellatrix is ​​My-Know-Who's most loyal subordinate."

"But she's dead, and we have evidence that her husband, Mr. Lestrange, isn't that much liked by You-Know-Who." Scrimgeour shook his head. If you hand it over to her, then she should take out the Horcrux when she dies."

"If there is a possibility, we should search it..."

"If there's a chance, you should search it?" Scrimgeour sneered, "Then according to your logic, I should search all the vaults in Gringotts, because there's a chance, even the Potters' vault. Check, maybe the most dangerous place the mysterious person thinks is the safest!"

Scrimgeour put away his sarcastic laugh - he was actually made a little suspicious by his own ridicule, in case he was right by guessing: "The most important thing is - we do not have this power."

"The Ministry of Magic doesn't have that power?"

"That's right, according to the "Lich Friendship and Mutual Aid Treaty" signed at the time of the last goblin rebellion. Wizards respect the goblin industry, and Gringotts is the goblin race's largest industry." He sighed helplessly. "Usually you might be tougher to go in and search, but at this juncture, if the goblins revolt again, the positions and lives of this group of leaders of the Ministry of Magic will not be guaranteed."

"Well, I was the one who didn't think about it..." Lockhart admitted frankly, and he was passing Scrimgeour's office anyway, and casually mentioned it. "What happened to the werewolf?"

"Public trial, sentenced to death. Executed in front of hundreds of wizards."

"So brutal? Aren't you afraid of a werewolf uprising?" Lockhart asked in surprise.

"Werewolves are different from other races. At least half of today's werewolves were bitten by other werewolves. Or his parents were bitten by werewolves." Scrimgeour said coldly: "Real generations are werewolves. On the contrary, there are very few, and they all live in deep mountains and old forests, so they do not have any strong racial concepts."

Scrimgeour took out a form and handed it to Lockhart, then took a sip of his coffee: "Look, this form is after the execution of the werewolf. Re-register with the Ministry of Magic's Werewolf Office, and swear never. Join the werewolves of the Death Eaters."

Lockhart looked at the table for a while, and it seemed that the situation was very good...

"By the way, why haven't you published a new book recently, hurry up and write another book about fighting the Death Eaters, and the Ministry of Magic will help you promote it." Scrimgeour suddenly remembered something: "If you don't have any materials, just go. Ask other Aurors, I allow you to write it as your own experience. Especially remember, write more about how to deal with dark wizards, we found that ordinary wizards are reluctant to read the small list issued by the Ministry of Magic. You must write them into a book I would like to see it.”

"Uh, I'll take the time..." Lockhart agreed embarrassingly, he hadn't written for a long time, because he felt that the money was enough.

"Let's go write it now, don't always stick with Mr. Minister's granddaughter at work, there will be gossip... What about anti-black magic fighters who are addicted to women's **** or something."

At Scrimgeour's request, Lockhart spent the rest of the summer writing a book called The War Against the Dark Arts. The beautiful Pandora grinds the ink (in fact, she is just looking at Lockhart's book in boredom), many well-known Aurors dictate (in fact, a bunch of Aurors without a mission get together to blow and force), and at the same time add a lot of practical. Dealing with dark magic methods (mostly from the wizard's self-defense manual). Under the hype of the Ministry of Magic. It soon became the best-selling book of the year.

Although some people questioned how the "anti-dark magic fighter" still had time to write a book while chasing down Voldemort, Lockhart was originally a well-known novelist, so he got through it smoothly. It's just more famous...

——

Neither Snape nor Mundungus or the Ministry of Magic's intelligence has any news about the Hufflepuff Gold Cup, in the constant attacks and "anti-black fighters" leading the Aurors to capture the Death Eaters. In the news, a new semester has begun.

Scrimgeour had tried to convince Lockhart to resign from his professorship to focus on being a wizarding hero. But considering that the Ministry of Magic could be attacked at any time, and he also liked the feeling of being a teacher, Lockhart refused the request.

Sitting comfortably in the teachers' bench at Hogwarts, watching the first-year freshman sorting ceremony below. Contrary to expectations, it may be because the anti-dark magic fighters promoted by the Ministry of Magic are serving at Hogwarts, and the number of students coming to Hogwarts has not decreased but increased, and has reached the normal level of peacetime.

Lockhart was now fully integrated into the professorial circle, and he chatted happily with Flitwick, Slughorn, and others, and commented on the following freshmen—this little girl was beautiful, a beauty embryo; the boy looked It's very smart to go up, and should be able to enter Ravenclaw...

After the branch was over, Dumbledore began to give the annual opening speech again. Seeing Dumbledore standing tall and straight in front of the lecture table, he solemnly warned the students of the whole school about the matters to be paid attention to this semester, and Lockhart suddenly felt warm. Yes - maybe in the professorship, after a decade or two, he will also be the dean of Ravenclaw~www.readwn.com~ and then the vice-principal...with his own prestige And the strength after decades of growth, McGonagall will most likely become the headmaster of Hogwarts when he retires.

This is too boring, not suitable for a lively person like myself, maybe I should try it at the Ministry of Magic? With the packaging of an anti-dark magic fighter, at least a director can be mixed in, and then using the Fudge family to operate, the Minister of Magic is just around the corner!

——

"Boom!" A loud noise interrupted Dumbledore's speech and Lockhart's wandering.

"Merlin's beard, what's going on!" Slughorn was startled, "I felt the huge wave of black magic."

The earthquake-like loud noise caused the students to panic. Dumbledore immediately cursed with a loud voice to control the odds: "Silence! All prefects, take the students of your own academy, go back to the lounge, immediately!"

"It was the protective magic of Hogwarts that was attacked. Judging by the momentum, it was undoubtedly the mysterious man who came in person." Lockhart said solemnly, but what can Voldemort do now?
