Harry Potter’s Defense Professor

"Guidero." Someone called him, and he turned to Minister Fudge. He looked at the poor bastard who was still sitting in the position of Minister of Magic, who looked a little unhinged from the long-term Imperius Curse, but he didn't look mistreated—and didn't need to. I don't know when the Death Eaters will be replaced as Minister of Magic.

"Have you found Pandora," Fudge's words startled Lockhart, who looked a little annoyed. "Don't you worry about her being kidnapped by those Aurors and taken to France!"

"Sir, I'm... working hard, I'm going to France to find her!" Lockhart quickly responded, "You can do your job first, and I'll do the preparatory work!"

Regardless of Minister Fudge's complaints, Lockhart took Scrimgeour, squeezed through the line of people, and entered an elevator, no one dared to comment.

——

"Director Lockhart, you are very early today." Someone in the elevator shouted flatteringly, but Lockhart ignored him.

More words must be lost. Both Lockhart and Scrimgeour stood at the innermost part of the elevator, watching the elevator stop and go without saying a word. Every time it stopped, a few wizards would leave the elevator. The Division of Magical Law Enforcement was on the second basement floor, and the elevator started on the eighth basement floor, so it didn't arrive until people were almost gone.

"The second floor, the Division of Magical Law Enforcement, includes the Division of Prohibition of Misuse of Magic, the Auror Command, and the Wizengamore Administration," the hollow female voice said.

The two and some other executive staff walked in from the elevator, Scrimgeour went to the striker department, and Lockhart went to find Arthur Weasley, and the two separated from here.

Lockhart was unfortunate enough to bump into a veteran Death Eater—a man with a somber, slightly brutal face that didn't quite match his ornate, flowing robes studded with gold threads, the new striker division Director Yaxley.

This is a little troublesome. This guy must know the true identity of the fake Lockhart. I am afraid that he will not be able to get away with it. Lockhart decided to take the initiative to strike up a conversation.

"Yaxley, have you seen Arthur Weasley?"

"Huh?" Yaxley looked over. "No, Mr. Minister. Did you find any reason to arrest him?"

"No, just ask him something."

"Anything about what the master asked you to do?"

"No, just tell me if you see him, I'm in a hurry!" Lockhart's mind turned sharply. Still gave the correct response.

"I saw him go to his office."

"Hmm." Lockhart pretended to havetily left him, without giving him a chance to go further on the subject of Voldemort's fake Lockhart assignment.

Throwing away Yaxley, Lockhart breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to the Division for the Prohibition of Abuse of Magic. After asking another employee, he found Arthur's office.

——

Arthur was sitting in his office in a daze at this time. Although it stands to reason that he is going to deal with cases of illegal casting and misuse of magic items, in fact, now that the Death Eaters are in control, many violations that were supposed to be dealt with are now legal. He just didn't dare to strike due to pressure, and came here every day to sit.

"What are you doing!" Arthur looked at Lockhart with disgust. As an acquaintance of Lockhart, no matter how realistic the fake one was, he could see the abnormality. In addition, it was said in the news two days ago that after one of the people who defected with the Aurors was impersonating Lockhart, he had already guessed that Lockhart did not really betray the Order of the Phoenix.

But he now also sees the real Lockhart as a fake.

Lockhart was afraid of any means of surveillance or monitoring in Arthur's office. Don't dare to reveal your identity directly. "Why, still so fierce?" Lockhart showed a "brutal" sneer: "You think we have a lot of Weasleys, so don't we dare to touch you! It's just that now the Order of the Phoenix has completely collapsed, there is no need to kill them all."

"Are you threatening me!" Arthur raised his voice angrily: "You impostor, you don't have half the ability of the real Gilderoy!"

Thanks for the compliment, Arthur. Lockhart said to himself. "Whatever you think, what if it threatens you. In my eyes, pure-blooded traitors are as despicable and dirty as hemp wizards."

"you--"

"You don't have to argue, I guess we both know we can't convince each other..." Lockhart sat down on the chair opposite Arthur: "But this time I came with good intentions. I heard that you still have Two kids at Hogwarts?"

"What's the matter, what does this have to do with them?" Arthur raised his brows. He noticed that Lockhart's behavior was a little unusual, but he still cooperated with the acting.

"One is named Ron. One is named Ginny, isn't it." Lockhart took out a small envelope with three notes from Lockhart and three notes from Scrimgeour. "I Listen to Severus, they don't have a good time at school, stuff. Show them, if any of the above is violated - pure blood status won't protect them."

"What can a few children do? You are all looking for trouble!" Arthur angrily picked up the envelope on the table and stuffed it into the drawer. "If something comes to me, don't talk to the children!"

"Great fatherly love, Arthur." Lockhart stood up and was ready to leave when he was done. "Finally, I have to remind you that if you are contacted by any resisting Order of the Phoenix or Aurors, you must tell you immediately. Me, or..." Lockhart sneered a few times, turned and left Arthur's office.

There shouldn't be any flaws. Lockhart felt that Arthur also knew that he was under surveillance. If he could be discovered like this, then he would be really useless.

It was already half past eight, and the fake Lockhart usually came to the Ministry of Magic at ten o'clock, so he had to hurry up. Coming out of Arthur, and not encountering Yaxley again, he went to the batter's department for a few minutes, and when Scrimgeour came out from there, it seemed to be going well - after all, he was looking for a Ordinary hitters would not be as closely monitored as Arthur, many of whom knew he was a wizard from the Order of the Phoenix.

The two nodded to each other, tacitly did not speak, and walked straight to the elevator side by side.

"How is it?" In the elevator going downstairs, only the two of them could chat.

"One promised to help me, and the other was too timid. I erased his memory." Scrimgeour said without wavering, "Just to be on the safe side, in fact, he won't report me."

"Oh, you can't force it, it's useless to have too many people in this kind of thing." Lockhart said helplessly, "Arthur, I gave him three notes, one for himself, one for McGonagall and one for Hagrid. share."

"Um."

The elevator door opened again, and a slender and beautiful figure came in, and the two stopped talking. Lockhart glanced at her, but was startled!

It was the beautiful witch with whom he had a brief relationship in China! Compared with a year ago, Hu Xinya looks more energetic and more beautiful. Her skin is still as white as a real Caucasian, but her hairstyle has changed from short hair to long hair. With a well-fitting uniform, Lockhart is the first. When he saw it, he was stunned.

But she didn't seem to know Lockhart, so she stood beside them after walking into the elevator and didn't say a word.

——

"Why are you here?" Lockhart held back for a while, but couldn't help but ask.

"Huh?" She turned her head and glanced at Lockhart suspiciously, as if seeing him for the first time, and then the expression on her face began to change, showing a surprised expression: "You are Mr. Lockhart- uh- —I mean, are you the real one?"

"Well, what are you doing here in England? I have a life of my own..." Lockhart had a bad hunch. Now that he has enough things to do, how come people who have had relations with him in China have also come here? To leave a good memory, and then never see each other, isn't it very romantic...

Seeing his bad face, Hu Xinya burst out laughing: "You misunderstood, I didn't come to you to renew the relationship, I know you have a girlfriend. This time I just came to thank you for your contribution to the establishment of the Chinese Ministry of Magic. great contribution.”

"Great contribution?" Lockhart's expression immediately softened when he heard that he wasn't here to cause trouble for himself. "I just sent a letter, where is the great contribution?"

"Your letter helped us establish formal diplomatic relations with the European magic circle." She said with a smile. "After we passed this news into the hermitage through some means, it suddenly intensified their internal conflicts. In the end, those who favored joining the WTO gained the upper hand, and now they have officially taken over the entire Chinese wizarding world. To be precise. , now there are no hermits, only Chinese wizards, we are now one."

"Uh... well, it's just an effort. It should be like this. I'm really happy for you." Lockhart said dryly. At this time, the elevator door opened again, but now it's work time, and no one wants to Going downstairs, occasionally someone wanted to come in, but Lockhart was kicked out as the director.
