Harry Potter’s Defense Professor

Chapter 354 Counterattack Plan (Part 1)

The long-lost sea breeze blew against their faces, and they returned to the beach where the Shell House was located. After walking for a while, they reached their destination.

Everyone who could reach was already at Shell Cottage. The Auror representatives Scrimgeour and Martin, as well as the remaining Order of the Phoenix, filled the hall of Shell Cottage. As soon as Lockhart appeared, almost everyone was stunned. They all stood up and performed the "attention ceremony".

"Honey, you're worrying us to death!" First Fleur, then Harry and Tonks stood up and hugged Hermione.

"The clever and brave Mrs. Lockhart single-handedly resurrected our anti-dark magic warrior!" Tonks...or should I say Mrs. Lupin looked at them with an expression of admiration, "This is enough for you to write a new book, Gid Luo!"

"I will write a book for Hermione if I have the chance in the future." Lockhart responded with a smile.

"Why don't you let us resurrect Gilderoy together, Hermione?" Sirius said angrily, "No matter what method you use, will we stop or hurt him!"

"I'm sorry for worrying everyone." Hermione apologized to the Order of the Phoenix in the room. "But things are going pretty well, except for some minor problems with Gilderoy's body... and brain... Let's not talk about the past."

"Is there something wrong with your brain?" Fleur looked at him worriedly.

"Ahem...it's nothing, she's having a little temper." Lockhart hugged Hermione and explained.

"It's good to be back safely." Lu Ping's tone was slightly reproachful. "I almost thought my child's godfather died without even meeting him..."

"What's wrong with your body?" Scrimgeour asked calmly as he sat motionless. "Are those who were resurrected with unicorn blood infected with a curse? I was once injured and used a special medicine with a trace amount of unicorn blood, and it took a long time to recover before I was able to get rid of the effects of the curse."

"It's almost the same. In addition to unicorn blood, I also used some other materials, so my strength has not declined, but my body has a little problem...but it doesn't matter." Even Albert arrived, Lockhart walked to the middle of the room, and heavily He patted him and Harry on the shoulders. "Hey guys. Looks like you're in good spirits."

"You look in great shape too, Mr. Lockhart." Albert replied excitedly. "You seem to be younger than before!"

"It seems he has become more handsome." Tonks said with a smile, hugging Lupine, even after becoming a mother. His temper has not changed at all. "Of course, he's still not as handsome as Remus!"

"Where's my little godson? What's his name, Teddy?"

"He is very happy staying with his grandma..."

"Sit down first, Professor Lockhart." Bill pushed out two chairs. "Can you tell me how you were resurrected? Did you...make one of those things?"

"Horcrux!" Harry didn't shy away from the word. "Did you do that? Wouldn't that turn you into a bad person like You-Know-Who?"

"Do you think I look like a bad person... It's a long story, I'll tell you later," Lockhart avoided the topic and pulled Hermione to sit down. "I'd love to talk to you all about how we're spending this period of time... But for now, let's talk about counterattack first. Scrimgeour thinks the time is ripe?"

"That's right, including the Order of the Phoenix. We have more than thirty wizards who can participate in the battle." Scrimgeour said, "But if we attack head-on with this power, we won't even be able to get through the door of the Ministry of Magic, so we still have More planning is needed - at least the Ministry of Magic's power supply system must be destroyed first, so that the floo network and protection are disabled, and then some strategies must be used to divert the Ministry of Magic's strikers..."

"Has your plan to place people at the Ministry of Magic been successful? Will they be put to use?"

"No, I don't know where the news leaked. The Ministry of Magic's alert level has been raised." Scrimgeour's face darkened, "My informant was arrested. Even Arthur and the others began to be under strict surveillance again. Ministry of Magic staff must go through magic tests every day when they go to work. No transformation magic or potion can get through... There are a large number of strikers and Death Eaters stationed day and night..."

"Why? Isn't Gilderoy dead?

It stands to reason that the Ministry of Magic's alertness would be lowered. Lu Ping asked doubtfully. "We have paid great attention to our manpower now, and there will be no more traitors." "

"This was indeed the case before. I guess there was something wrong with your note, Gilderoy." Scrimgeour said, "Did you activate all the notes a few days ago? We have two people with your note. The Auror was killed by them... The note they sent to contact you must have restored its function, and was discovered by the Death Eaters. Then someone speculated that you were resurrected, so the Ministry of Magic raised its alert..."

"There is no way. After I die, all the notes will return to their initial state. If I don't see the real thing, it is impossible to make a selection and judge and accurately activate only your notes. I can only activate them all... and then determine the final result through questions and answers. Who is who? Oh my god, luckily I didn’t say much to anyone before confirming my identity. The Ministry of Magic probably didn’t think of using a note to trick me..."

"How imprudent!" Scrimgeour shook his head, "But I can't blame you. If you don't activate all the notes, I will be ready to act alone."

"So what are you going to do now? You said the Ministry of Magic can't get in, so how do you destroy the energy supply system?" Bill asked, "You can't get in without destroying the energy supply, but you can't touch the energy supply system unless you get in... …”

"Let's think of a way -" Lockhart looked at Hermione, "Do you have any good ideas?"

"No!" Hermione pouted, not hiding her displeasure.

"That's not the only problem." Kingsley's voice came from the side. He became darker. He was silent and almost no one could notice him. "Even if we go in, there is no way to destroy the energy supply system. Although I have never seen it, after Rufus described it to me, I felt it was very troublesome..."

"I already have a solution for this. We use Muggle weapons..." Lockhart said, "When we were trying to think of ways to destroy Horcruxes, the professor told me that Muggles have a big bomb called a nuclear bomb. ...Albert, do you understand this?"

"I don't know, but a nuclear bomb should be able to destroy the entire Ministry of Magic and even London..." Albert's eyes widened, "Are you going to use that thing? It is too powerful and will accidentally injure many people... …”

"Use a smaller one. I'll consult a Muggle professional on this. Hermione, what do you think?"

"I don't know... I've only seen the power of nuclear bombs on TV..." Hermione shook her head, also frightened by Lockhart's thoughts. "No, it will definitely be affected by the Ministry of Magic's anti-Muggle spell. It cannot be detonated at the Ministry of Magic..."

"What is it? Is it powerful?" Tonks asked curiously.

"Yeah, something very powerful."

"Are you sure you can destroy the energy supply system?" Scrimgeour didn't know much about this thing. "If it is the same as a bomb, it will indeed be disabled by the magic of the Ministry of Magic..."

"It is definitely possible to destroy it. This is a destructive weapon..." Albert said, "But we are stuck in the same problem as before - there is no way to enter and use nuclear bombs without destroying the energy supply, and destroying After the energy supply is provided, there is no need for this thing at all..."

"Oh... that's right, you can't use Muggle weapons in wizard gathering places..." Lockhart completely forgot about this, and his memory is getting worse now. "What should I do..."

"What are you discussing?" Fleur opened her eyes wide and was confused. She had never heard of this thing.

"How is your secret-keeper friend from last time doing now?" Lockhart thought of something. "Where's the key."

"Very good, he is still under my Imperius Curse and he does not resist." Scrimgeour said, "Because once he escapes the control of the Imperius Curse, he must report to the Ministry of Magic that someone has broken into the power supply room, otherwise It would be a violation of the unbreakable oath.”

"I remembered, Mr. Scrimgeour, you said that the energy supply room has not been opened for decades!" Hermione said, "It is independent from the Ministry of Magic building, and it has its own set of protective magic. ?”

"Yeah, what's wrong?" Scrimgeour looked at her.

"It is written in "Modern Magic History" that the anti-nuclear weapon barrier was invented in 1946. If the energy supply room has not been renovated or transformed after 1946, doesn't that mean that nuclear weapons can be used inside? "

"It seems like this. The last time someone broke into the Department of Mysteries was in 1940. It was a German spy who tried to sabotage the energy supply system, but he was caught by the Secret Keeper before he could even get in..." Scrimgeour was stunned. , touched the stubble on his chin, rubbed his temples, and tried to remember. "It seems that no wizard has entered the power supply room since then. To be precise, the door of the Department of Mysteries has never been opened at all... But I can't guarantee whether they have gone in for repairs or renovations this year."

"The Ministry of Magic will not bother with these things after the change of ownership. They will focus all their energy on dealing with the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy." Bill said, "Dad told me that the next step of the Ministry of Magic is to completely show off to the wizarding world of other countries. And announced the existence of wizards to the Muggle world, and then started to exploit the Muggles..."

"Oh, really, tell me everything else."

"The French Ministry of Magic has begun to contact other European countries to intervene in Britain - it should be military intervention. All previous negotiations have failed." Fleur said uncertainly, "This is what my father told me when he wrote to me. , maybe the reason why the British Ministry of Magic has stepped up its guard is not to prevent us, but to prevent wizards from other countries from infiltrating."
