"Mr. Zhang, Mrs. Zhang, hello." Lockhart took the lead in greeting them, "I wonder if you have seen that poster about the true and false Lockhart?"

"I see, I basically understand what's going on. Please sit down, Professor Lockhart, and everyone..." Qiu Zhang's father put down the newspaper and motioned them to sit down.

"Thank you, you won't report us." Lockhart stared at Mr. Zhang and said, seeing that Qiu Zhang's father was not a powerful wizard, Lockhart quietly used Legilimency to confirm what he said It's from the heart.

"Don't worry, strictly speaking, I'm a Muggle wizard, so we're our own." Mr. Zhang said with a smile, "Bonnie, pour tea for the guests."

Harry and his long-lost girlfriend were whispering and talking, while Lockhart noticed more things in the chat with Qiu Zhang's father. The magic fluctuations on his body are very weak, almost between the squib and the wizard, which makes Lockhart suddenly have a bold guess.

"Mr. Zhang, are you Chinese?" Lockhart asked.

"That's right, you can tell at a glance!" Mr. Zhang became excited. "Everyone will ask me if I'm Korean or Japanese, and I'm just suffocated to death."

"Oh, I've been to China... so I know you better." Lockhart said, "You said you were a Muggle wizard, did you come to England after you were born?"

"Actually, I came to England as an adult," he said. "Before that, I had absolutely no idea that I was a wizard! Looking back now, two Taoist-looking people came to my house when I was a kid. passed me, but left without saying a word."

"If you guess correctly, those are probably the wizards of the hermitage..." Lockhart guessed, "You know what is happening in the Chinese magic world now."

"Well, I heard a little. I guess it was those two Taoist priests who found out that I was a sorcerer, and then came to the door to test and found that my talent was too poor, so they didn't take me back to Taoist practice!" Qiu Zhang's father laughed at himself. say. "But that's fine, otherwise I won't have the chance to meet Qiu's mother."

That's probably the truth, in China, someone like Qiu's father is somewhere between a Squib and a wizard. I am afraid that there are not a few, and the Hidden World faction can only be taller than the dwarf, and absorb those relatively good Muggle wizards, and the World Access faction is estimated to be even more pitiful... Fortunately, it will not be like this anymore.

"So, you're not actually on the British Ministry of Magic's list of wizards," Lockhart said with a smile. "So lucky."

"Yeah, lucky," he agreed. "I've met Harry Potter and Hermione Granger... who are these two?"

"Albert Terrence,

From the United States, it is a volunteer. "

"Sireth Black, you should have seen me looking rather embarrassed in the newspapers."

"Ah! You are the contemporary Prometheus, the Sirius who spent more than ten years in Azkaban for his friend's son and for revenge?"

"Your evaluation is too high, but it's down." Blake couldn't hide his joy at being highly evaluated, but then he became sentimental: "Unfortunately, this is Prometheus. It's not right..."

"Sorry," Mr. Zhang comforted. "And what about Scrimgeour and the Aurors?"

"We're on a team," Hermione said.

"Oh, that's good, it's really great that there are so many excellent wizards who are still resisting." The man said, "In the past two days, the Ministry of Magic has even started counting and reviewing Squibs, and I'm confused. I was terrified, but fortunately, I didn't go to Diagon Alley to buy a wand for fun back then... or—"

"Once you buy a wand, you're on the Ministry of Magic's records." Lockhart exclaimed. "How could you resist buying a wand? If I..."

"Hey, I haven't been to Hogwarts. It's useless if you buy it. Bonnie and Cho's wands are enough for housework."

Mrs. Zhang came to the hall with black tea and poured a cup for everyone. Then sat down next to her husband, the woman still looking a little panicked.

"Everyone... um... sir, is there anything important to come to my house?" she said tremblingly.

Lockhart took a sip of hot tea and waved his hand: "Madam, you don't have to be nervous, we're just here to visit. Even if someone from the Ministry of Magic asks, you can sell us all, oh of course, except for Ai Burt this guy." Lockhart looked at Harry and Qiu Zhang. "This time, we just accompany the savior to meet the little girlfriend, and by the way, get to know the parents of next autumn."

"Oh..." The woman sighed in relief.

"Bonnie, you are so rude..." Her husband said dissatisfiedly: "These people here are the saviors and backbones of the wizarding world, and the guarantee that we can live in peace! While the Death Eaters persecuted Muggles and When we were Muggle wizards, we were indifferent, and when they attacked the Squibs, we still turned a blind eye... When the persecution hits a half-blood wizard like you, we will have no allies!"

"Oh, sorry...I'm just a little nervous..." Qiu Zhang's mother said cautiously.

"Dinner is ready, let's stay and eat together, it's not enough for Bonnie to cook." Mr. Zhang said enthusiastically, "Qiu, go and bring some chairs."

"Then you're welcome. We haven't had a good meal for many days." Lockhart couldn't be polite anymore. They needed to have a good meal in a warm room, and then go to the supermarket and other places to have a good meal. Add more to continue the escape journey.

Qiu. Zhang's apartment environment is good, but the rooms are not enough. But that wasn't a problem at all, Lockhart pitched a tent in the hall after setting up an alarm perimeter around the house...and slept as usual.

——

Early the next morning, Lockhart took everyone to bid farewell to Zhang Qiu's family. Before leaving, he also left them a contact note made in a hurry, asking them to contact him if there is any situation or important news, and then left here.

Qiu bravely expressed that he wanted to go on an escape adventure with Lockhart and the others, but it was really inappropriate to take her away from her parents to do such a dangerous thing. Secondly, Lockhart was not optimistic about the lovely girl Qiu. What can be helpful, maybe to soothe the savior's emotions? Ha ha.

Or drink the compound decoction, everyone is going to go to the supermarket to buy some supplies, and then continue their journey of escape and resistance. Today is Christmas. Although the wizards do not believe in God, it does not prevent them from celebrating this festival. It is not known whether the matter of the Manjik family has been discovered, but if they want to buy something in Edinburgh, it is unlikely that they will encounter a search team. The five people walked along the street and asked the way to the nearest big supermarket.

"What I want to do has come to an end, and now we have to work hard to find the whereabouts of the next Horcrux like the other two teams, and think of a safe way to destroy the Horcrux." Lockhart said, "The latter need not worry. , we can wait for the two Horcruxes to come together and then think of a solution, but we have no clue about the former..."

"Let's find a way while looking for Horcruxes, this kind of thing can't be rushed." Sirius said, "Do you know any wizards who are more proficient in magic, like the examiners who take the wizard level test, they should all know more. "

"How many do you know?"

"I remember a few names, but I don't know them..." He said embarrassedly, "I was so nervous about taking the exam at that time, how could I have the intention to be close to the examiner."

"What about you guys, what are your thoughts, where to go next, what to do?" Lockhart asked the three younger ones.

"No." They shook their heads.

"Then think about buying things first." Hermione reminded: "Christmas supermarkets usually close after noon, we have to hurry."
