Harry Potter’s Defense Professor

"Ginny seems to have fallen in love with you." Snape left, and Hermione could finally frown freely, "What's going on... The look on her face when she saw you was exactly the same as when she saw Harry!"

"No way..." Lockhart said guiltily, "Maybe she is addicted to my blood-sucking, or maybe I look too handsome after my rebirth?"

"Stop it, Ginny is not such a superficial person!" Hermione said angrily, "When I had a crush on you when I was a child, I secretly confided in her, and she even discussed with me how to make you notice me - or Let Harry notice her...but I was still trying to get close to you, and you got close to Fudge out of nowhere!" Hermione became angry when she thought of this, and her eyes were red with grievance: "She also said that she would never I’d like someone with a girlfriend.”

"Well, that's good. You see, I have a wife now..." Lockhart hugged her. "It's even less likely that she'll like me."

"Don't change the topic," Hermione pushed his arm away. "It must be that when you suck blood, it will affect people's minds. Don't touch Ginny again!"

"No touching, no touching..." Lockhart nodded, "I can't control my body very well yet. In a few days, we will go to Hagrid and ask if there are any pregnant unicorns. Here Before now, you can ask Ginny to get you some library books to read and pass the time, or you want to talk to me—"

"Hmph, I'd better ask Ginny to bring me some books next time."

Lockhart rested in Hogwarts for a few days. During these few days, he would run out and attack the students at night every day. Although theoretically he could last for several weeks without sucking blood, it would make his condition look extremely bad. , the strength will also decrease as the persistence time becomes longer.

The most troublesome thing is that sucking blood is as addictive as taking drugs. Now he feels uncomfortable if he doesn't suck blood for a day, and the air of Hogwarts is full of "pure girl body fragrance". This huge temptation makes him even more... No self-control whatsoever.

——

Nothing to do. Lockhart stayed in the Room of Requirement and made some contact notes, mainly for Snape, Aberforth and others. After staying like this for a few days, they decided to go see Hagrid.

It was class time when I came out wearing an invisibility cloak. There is no one on the road. Although the Death Eaters' management of Hogwarts is extremely strict, there is at least one person who welcomes this policy with both hands - he has witnessed the resurrection of Voldemort, the occupation of Hogwarts, and the changes in the wizarding world. When something big happened, strong winds and waves came, but Filch didn't capsize in the "gutter".

Few students cause trouble anymore. Because the "naughty" students were either severely punished by the Death Eaters, or were caught and used as experimental subjects in the next dark magic class - even the so-called brave Gryffindor was not willing to Suffering meaninglessly.

It was too easy to deal with Filch. With a confusion spell, he obediently opened the side door of the castle for the two of them.

"It's been a long time since I've seen Hagrid!" The invisibility cloak was a little too small, and Hermione was a little excited. She accidentally exposed her feet. Fortunately, she had already left the Hogwarts castle and was walking on the grass outside. My mood was as relaxed and bright as when I first set foot on the path to Hagrid's hut six years ago.

She suddenly remembered. The first time Lockhart took the initiative to have physical contact with her was at this place five years ago. That time she was called a "Mudblood" by Malfoy, and then on the way to Hagrid's hut, she met Professor Lockhart, who had just come to teach at the school. He patted himself on the shoulder and told himself that pure-blood wizards were shit... Hermione recalled sweetly, turning to look at her husband beside her. If the two of them weren't so close together, it would have been almost unreal.

"Hagrid is quite comfortable here. As long as he doesn't do anything stupid, the Death Eaters won't bother him at all..." Lockhart was unaware that his wife beside him had recalled a lot of things in a few seconds. Old things.

"No way. Ginny said that Hagrid was often bullied, but he just didn't dare to take out his wand to resist..." Hermione said aggrievedly,

"Because Hagrid's wand was not registered with the Ministry of Magic, he was framed more than fifty years ago and lost the qualification to use the wand."

"Sigh. I hope it's over soon." Lockhart sighed. "I will restore Scrimgeour to Hagrid's wand-wielding qualifications."

Hagrid's hut soon came into view, with its conical roof, chimney, and stone steps leading to the front door. It looked like nothing had changed, but it was still a little strange... There were always fruits and vegetables growing in the front and back of the house. It was deserted, and the walls of the cabin looked extremely dirty... The door, which was never closed during the day, was also tightly closed.

Lockhart put his arm around Hermione's shoulders, and the two of them quietly approached the door of the house while hiding under the invisibility cloak. Then he pressed it against the door and knocked lightly on the door panel a few times.

There was no response, and there was no movement in the room.

what happened? Not daring to call him out loud, Lockhart took out the note and contacted Hagrid.

——

"It's you guys who are here!" There was a noise in the room immediately. A few seconds later, Hagrid opened the door. The door was blocked by the huge body of the half-giant who had not been seen for a long time. He looked full of excitement. "I thought it was—"

"Let us in first, Hagrid," Hermione whispered. "Aren't you afraid of being suspected when you stand at the door and talk to the air?"

"Oh, yes, come in quickly..." Hagrid moved away.

After the two entered the house, they took off the invisibility cloak.

"Gilderoy!" Hagrid came up and gave Lockhart a strong hug, even though his new body was extremely strong, it was too much to bear. "Aren't you dead? What happened?"

"How can you be like you? You curse people to death..." Hermione scolded and was hugged. Fortunately, Hagrid controlled the force under Lockhart's reminder and did not hurt her. "Gilderoy was never dead, he was just hiding!"

"Oh, well, it was well hidden. Even the note was invalid for two months!" Hagrid said excitedly, "Oh my gosh, when the newspaper said that you were surrounded and killed, I was scared. The Order of the Phoenix would basically not be able to function without you - well, I almost forgot, congratulations to you, Hermione, now Mrs. Lockhart."

"Thank you," Hermione said happily. She liked being called Mrs. Lockhart.

"It's not such an exaggeration," Lockhart shook his head. "After Dumbledore died, I couldn't let the Order of the Phoenix function at all to resist the mysterious man's forces. Mainly because I didn't have the experience of a leader, and the members of the Order were... Keep a close eye..."

"Well, do you have any plans now?" Hagrid asked, rubbing his hands.

"Not yet. Let me discuss it with Scrimgeour..." Lockhart found a place to sit down in the house. The big dog saw an acquaintance he hadn't seen for a long time and ran over to it excitedly. Hermione smiled. and touched its head. "Why are there so many things missing from your house? Where are those magical creatures? And what's going on on your face?"

"Hey, those Death Eaters." Hagrid said helplessly, "They came to bully me when they had nothing to do. I didn't dare to fight back. I couldn't take good care of these little things, so I had to let them all go." He said angrily, "Then they couldn't bother the little guys, so they turned on me - I can knock them down with one punch. If I didn't want to stay in the school to protect Ginny and the others... I would have fought with them earlier. Let’s get started.”

"A sensible approach, Hagrid." Lockhart said approvingly, "I came here this time to ask about unicorns. Do you know the distribution of unicorns in the Forbidden Forest...and whether there are any unicorns. Is the beast pregnant?”

"Why are you asking this? Is it related to the mysterious man?" Hagrid asked doubtfully, "There is really a unicorn that is pregnant, but it will be well protected by her husband and the centaurs. What are you going to do?"

"Hermione suspects that the blood of pregnant unicorns will have some special effect that will help treat my disease..." Lockhart said, "As for the protection of centaurs and male unicorns, for me It’s just like a fiction.”

"Gilderoy is sick. What is it? Does it matter?" Hagrid looked him up and down nervously. "Hey, I suddenly feel that you are much younger. Is it my imagination?"

"Gilderoy has always been young," Hermione said with a smile. Both she and Ginny had been told that Snape was undercover and that he was resurrected and not to talk nonsense. "His illness is nothing serious, just troublesome. He needs unicorn blood without the curse to cure him completely."

"Is that so... Gilderoy seems to have asked me about this a long time ago. Could it be that you were already sick at that time?" Hagrid recalled it and asked uneasily, "You told me earlier, I thought you were I just asked casually, but I didn’t pay attention to you..."
