Lockhart didn't expect things to go so smoothly at all. To be honest, he was already mentally prepared to force his way into the locked door... I didn't expect the other party to offer a way to enter. .

After leaving Randu's house, Lockhart took the key from Scrimgeour's hand and observed it carefully. The key was completely black and hardly reflected light. There was a lot of protective magic on it, but it hardly leaked any magic power fluctuations.

"This thing looks tougher than a Horcrux!" said Lockhart, surprised. "How does it work?"

"I don't know how it works. As for it is more difficult to deal with than a Horcrux, this is normal. This thing has a history of more than two hundred years. How many outstanding wizards have kept this thing, and theoretically it will be used forever. ." Scrimgeour explained, "And it doesn't need to protect the soul inside like a Horcrux, it can be filled with protective magic inside and out."

"It was an eye-opener," Lockhart exclaimed. "What did you do to your friend?"

"To keep him safe, he must remain under the control of my Imperius until we no longer need access to the Ministry of Magic's energy supply system... Fortunately, he knows this, so there is no resistance to the Imperius. , it won't hurt him."

"Terrible, at least living under the Imperius Curse for a few months..." Lockhart shook his head.

"You haven't been controlled by the Imperius Curse. In fact, if you don't resist, the controlled person is still very happy..." Scrimgeour smiled: "It's more comfortable than drinking too much Fuling, okay, let's go back. Bar."

In London, Apparition didn't need to be so cautious. The two went directly back to the small hotel where they were hiding. It was lunch time, Harry and Sirius were playing chess, and Hermione had just woken up when she saw Loja. Characters are a little blush. One more thing, two Aurors had already joined in this morning: Kingsley and Anna.

"Gadevon is dead, Joe is dead, Diana is dead..." Anna had many wounds on her body. The spirit seems to be collapsing even more, "We're the only ones left..."

"Anna, you go to rest..." Scrimgeour hugged her and comforted her. "The next room. Hermione, go and help her heal her wounds, let her take a bath, change her clothes, and eat later. Someone brought it to you."

"Um……"

"Kingsley, how are you. Are you going to rest?"

"No, I'm fine." Kingsley's voice was still thick, and it looked like he was a little dirty except for his body.

There are no other questions, "Have you discussed the next steps, are we enough people?"

"I already have a plan, you sit first." Scrimgeour nodded, "Sit down, the next step is to find a way to contact the acquaintances and members of the Order of the Phoenix who are still working in the Ministry of Magic, and get some reliable people to come over. Who else in the Order of the Phoenix is ​​not wanted?"

"The Weasleys. McGonagall at the school, Hagrid, and some peripheral members who collect information everywhere...Mundungus et al.," Kingsley said.

"Well, Gilderoy, I'll give you ten pieces of paper, and you'll send two pieces of paper to every member of the Order of the Phoenix you can find, one for me and one for you." Scrimgeour handed over ten pieces of paper. A note, Lockhart then remembered that his note was not finished, Scrimgeour gave another one to Kingsley, Harry, and Sirius, "This is yours, yours. "

Lockhart only made nine last night. He was busy pushing Hermione down, and he quickly took out what he had done and gave one to everyone present.

"We are going to infiltrate the Ministry of Magic now and examine the situation of the underground energy supply system. When we need to completely cut off the Floo network in the future, or even deal with the Death Eaters hiding in the Curse of Faithful Loyalty, we will directly destroy the energy supply system." Scrimgeour explained to Kingsley, "Once this is over, we'll split up to find other Horcruxes and a way to destroy them instantly."

"What do I do then?" Kingsley asked.

"Doing nothing and staying here gives me the assurance that everyone who comes to join me is the real me," Scrimgeour said. "Then wait for us to go to the Ministry of Magic to inspect the field, and wait until all the Aurors who are alive and willing to resist are here, and assign the next stage of tasks. We wait here for a month, and those who haven't come, are not dead and After being arrested, I just don’t want to fight anymore.”

"Why do you do this, didn't Harry use a very powerful spell that day, just seize the opportunity next time when Harry smashes the wand of You-Know-Who and kill him?" Kingsley looked He said to Harry, "Harry, what's your spell called, how many times can you use it?"

"I……"

"I asked him, that's not the spell he used." Scrimgeour sighed, "I thought the Savior was really Mysterio's nemesis, but he said it was his wand's own attack, hehe …”

"The wand can't attack itself." Kingsley looked Harry straight at him, as if he thought he was lying. "You must have carried out an unconscious attack on the mysterious man, but you thought it was the wand that attacked."

"No, it's the wand..." Lockhart said, "remember the last time we were besieging You-Know-Who in the halls of the Ministry of Magic, Harry and You-Know-Who's spells were linked because they had the same wand core. The phoenix feathers. I think it was that phenomenon that built up a huge amount of energy in Harry's wand, until the last time he met You-Know-Who, it was induced by You-Know-Who and destroyed his wand."

"It makes sense. What you said may be the truth. That is to say, the Savior can't show his power like last time?"

"Don't say that, Mr. Scrimgeour, it wasn't Harry's business at all!" Black said angrily at Scrimgeour. "Are you trying to put failure on a child."

"Well, I apologize for the inappropriate tone." Scrimgeour didn't care. "Now, let's talk about the Ministry of Magic. We need a full invasion arrangement."

Infiltrating what is now the Ministry of Magic is dangerous now, even if they are Aurors who know the Ministry well. Lockhart did not hesitate to let Harry lift Occlumency again to see where Voldemort was staying - the result was that Voldemort suffered a lot of injuries last time, and he is still recovering in the manor of an unknown pure-blood family. It doesn't matter where, as long as it's not at the Ministry of Magic.

They stayed at the small hotel for more than two weeks. After Hermione tasted the sweetness that night, her jealousy that had been extinguished suddenly rekindled - it turned out that it was so comfortable to do this because of Pandora, otherwise she might have died a few months or even a year or two earlier. Enjoy the taste. I don't know how many nights, the dying man I love and another Slytherin girl do this kind of thing in bed, and I can only lie on the bed looking at his book and lovesick, and then miserably expect to dream meet him!

As if she had skin cravings, she pestered Lockhart to do it with him every night, as if she wanted to overtake the number of times Pandora and Lockhart rolled sheets over the past few years in a short period of time. give up. In order not to be forced to drink the contraceptive potion by Lockhart, she also sneaked out and bought several large boxes of condoms from the Muggle world...

——

Although groomed and entertained, they were not idle, and everyone took turns wearing invisibility cloaks to scout at the entrance of the Magic Department. They tracked the people in the ministry, eavesdropped on their conversations, and figured out, by careful observation, which people showed up alone at the same time each day. Occasionally get a chance to steal a copy of the Daily Prophet from some wizard.

Hermione sifted through the information and made a table for viewing.

Five more Aurors found the hotel based on information left by Scrimgeour, and luckily none of them were fake. When they left Hogwarts, there were forty-four of them, and they lost twenty-seven in one raid. There should be seventeen left, but after a month, there were only twelve including the two children. After returning to the hotel safely, there were five other people who either had an accident or hid and were unwilling to resist, but at least they didn't break their oath to sell their teammates. For safety, Scrimgeour deliberately destroyed the bricks that contained the information.

Ministry of Magic policy has also been slowly changing over time - Dementors are no longer objects of extinction, they have become protected animals; every teenage wizard is now required to enroll so that Voldemort can bring all wizards up from childhood under his watch. It was also one of the ways to weed out Muggle-borns, as students had to have a bloodline certificate - showing they had proved their wizarding blood to the Ministry of Magic in order to be admitted.
