Harry Potter’s Defense Professor

"Is that so?" Lockhart said with a frown, "I remember that the year I obtained the Auror qualification, there were more than fifty Aurors and over 100 strikers."

"That was at the end of the war, and now, the war is even brewing, and no one has successfully obtained the qualification certificate for the Auror exam for two consecutive years." Scrimgeour said helplessly. "So, I'm sorry I can't deal with the giants."

Lockhart was a little disappointed, he took it for granted. Not everything can be done smoothly, and the Ministry of Magic does have some difficulties right now. He stood up and said goodbye to Scrimgeour. "Then, Mr. Scrimgeour, I'm sorry to disturb you."

Lockhart walked to the door, and just as he was about to go out, Scrimgeour suddenly hugged him again: "Gidro, stay, I have something to ask you."

"What's the matter?" Lockhart was a little strange.

"Sit down and talk." Seeing Scrimgeour's serious expression, Lockhart reluctantly walked back to his desk and sat down, "What's the matter, is there anything you can do?"

"You work under Dumbledore, how is your relationship with him?"

"In general, I respect him very much."

"Lie!" Scrimgeour's sharp eyes suddenly shot directly into Lockhart's eyes. Between the lightning and flint, Lockhart almost subconsciously activated his Occlumency. Any action, "Gidro, you joined the Order of the Phoenix, right!"

Lockhart was a little angry: "I remember that the Order of the Phoenix is ​​not an illegal organization, Mr. Scrimgeour! Do you have any advice?"

"Then you admit it," Scrimgeour's sharp eyes relaxed for a moment, leaning on the back of his chair, he was just testing Lockhart, it seemed that Lockhart was still a little tender, "The Order of the Phoenix is ​​indeed a legitimate organization , but its presence makes the Ministry very uncomfortable, you know."

As a non-governmental organization, the Order of the Phoenix has a large number of excellent wizards. At the same time, it does not share information with the Ministry of Magic, nor does it obey the orders of the Ministry of Magic. In addition, the relationship between Dumbledore and Fudge is not good, and it is normal for the Ministry of Magic to hate the Order of the Phoenix. .

"So," Lockhart was annoyed by his gaffe, "it's the Ministry of Magic's business that the Ministry of Magic doesn't like the Order of the Phoenix, but the Order of the Phoenix has not done anything against the Ministry of Magic!"

"The Order of the Phoenix indirectly killed more than a dozen hitters, although it was a good thing." Scrimgeour interrupted Lockhart's words.

Lockhart was a little shocked. He thought that Azkaban did a perfect job, maybe it was another temptation by Scrimgeour? Lockhart decided to play stupid, "I don't understand what you're talking about, sir..."

"Akito doesn't speak secretly, Gilderoy." Scrimgeour interrupted Lockhart again, "I need information from the Order of the Phoenix now, and I know that the Order of the Phoenix has a wealth of sources..."

"It's impossible, sir, even if you were my superior, your request is too much." Lockhart categorically refused.

"Gidro, you misunderstood, I don't want information about the Order of the Phoenix, I want information about Voldemort and the Death Eaters collected by the Order of the Phoenix," Scrimgeour explained, "and, in return, I will borrow Men give you to deal with giants, while sharing with you, to a limited extent, information obtained by the Ministry of Magic."

Lockhart is hesitating, it seems like a good proposal, but is there any trap? A tough character like Scrimgeour...

"Guidero, I know what you are worried about, don't worry, I will not ask for a contract or written evidence with you. We are just chatting between personal friends, you can pick up some information for me, I will Deciding how much intelligence to give you based on the value of that intelligence to me is a win-win, isn't it?"

The office was quiet for a while—

"That's it, but I can only tell you, you can't ask me." Lockhart added, he was relieved, such an unrestricted exchange of information, the initiative is in the hands of both parties, and there is no worries at all .

"Deal, Gilderoy, I've always wanted to work with a powerful and mysterious organization like the Order of the Phoenix. This will help the overall efficiency of the Auror department, and it will also let the Aurors know that they still can't take it lightly He is the most powerful wizard in the world, and the Auror department is only 'one' of the most secretive organizations in the world." Scrimgeour smiled and stood up and shook hands with Lockhart, "I will select 10 people. Auror, come with you, but I demand that this thing be done absolutely beautifully and not cause any trouble to the Auror department, okay?"

"Don't worry, you should remember that I got full marks on my covert operations test." Lockhart also shook hands with Scrimgeour very satisfied. So far, he has not suffered any losses. As for intelligence, we will talk about it later.
