Wearing the invisibility cloak, Lockhart walked through the familiar Hogwarts campus. It was the end of the last class in the morning. He passed by groups of students, and Ginny should be among them. , Lockhart carefully avoided people.

The word school comes from the Greek word "skhole", which means leisure time - because in ancient Greece, only the wealthy and status-rich citizen class could have leisure time to enjoy the pleasure of learning and research.

But now, these children, who should be enjoying learning, have sad faces.

Not only are they indoctrinated every day with the idea that Muggles are rubbish, but the scope of their learning ranges from all kinds of magical and interesting practical magic to astronomy and geography, down to magic arithmetic - down to attacks and harmful spells with black magic as the core. , and also use classmates as experimental subjects. Not to mention the strict and cruel way Hogwarts was run at the hands of Death Eaters. If you don't know this, you might mistakenly think you are entering a military academy for dark wizards whose purpose is to train wizards to become Muggle exterminators.

But it was all about to end, and Lockhart walked cautiously against the wall.

McGonagall followed the wave of students returning to the common room and came towards them with a sad face. She, who was already a senior, looked even older. Lockhart's first reaction was to hide his aura, because a wizard of McGonagall's level might notice that she was wearing an invisibility cloak if she paid a little attention. It would be bad if she showed any abnormality and was discovered by the Death Eaters. But after the two of them passed by, another idea came to his mind: According to the previous plan, he would tell her the secret about Snape on the last day before the operation at the end of the month, but now that he was here, maybe he would call her Can we save some energy by coming over to discuss it together?

He sneaked around the door of the principal's office, contacted Snape and McGonagall with notes under the invisibility cloak, asked the former for a new entry password, and asked the latter to come to the principal's office to see him.

Snape was still sitting quietly behind the principal's desk, with a few pieces of paper on the table in front of him. Written on it were the names of students who had made mistakes recently and the methods suggested by the Death Eater professors. If Lockhart reads it, he will find that most of the above are trivial things, and these students who made mistakes are basically members of H.A.

"Almost?" Snape put down his pen, he knew. This may be the last batch of documents of the same type that he will review.

"Well, McGonagall will be here later." Lockhart nodded to him, then sat down in a chair on the side, "Be ready to say something to her."

"What are you saying, I'm not a traitor to the Order of the Phoenix. I'm a great double agent?" Snape sneered, "I'm here to avenge myself, unlike all of you who are heroes who sacrifice themselves for others. All I want to know now is What grand plan do you have to take back the Ministry of Magic and at the same time destroy the Dark Lord's Horcruxes or even kill him?"

"Let's talk about it when Mag comes -"

As soon as Lockhart finished speaking, McGonagall hurriedly entered the principal's office. She had just passed by Lockhart and was not far from here. After receiving the message on the note, she rushed over immediately, fearing that Lockhart and Snape would fight and even started fighting.

But take a look inside. The scene in the principal's office immediately frightened her: Lockhart was relaxing in his chair, and Snape was sitting quietly behind the table, both hands resting on the table. No one was holding a wand, and the atmosphere was so harmonious that The two were discussing what to eat for lunch.

Her first reaction was that Lockhart and Snape were both Death Eaters. The former was lurking in the Order of the Phoenix and planned a big plan that seemed to target the Death Eaters. In fact, he was preparing to bring down all the Order and the Death Eaters. Catch them all in one fell swoop!

The second reaction was - now they have to start with herself, she must spread the news!

McGonagall quickly pulled out her wand and cast the Iron Armor Charm on herself, then quickly looked around the principal's office. At the same time, he retreated towards the door, but found no other wizards in his field of vision.

No spells were flying towards him either.

"Professor McGonagall, don't be nervous," Lockhart said, smiling at her. "Come in and discuss how to deal with the mysterious man."

"Gilderoy, you-" McGonagall looked at Lockhart warily. If these two wizards were to deal with her, she was determined not to leave this room easily. "What happened with him? Did you Have you controlled him with the Imperius Curse?"

"An ordinary Imperius Curse. It only takes me a few seconds to break free." Snape said coldly, "But in fact, I have never been hit by an enemy's Imperius Curse."

"Professor McGonagall, Severus is an undercover agent of the Order of the Phoenix among the Death Eaters—"

"That's what we thought!" Mag was in a panic and didn't know who to point the wand at. "Gilderoy, when you were in school, I said I would teach you Animagus transformation and let you come to my home. , what did I treat you to that time?"

"I didn't go to your house. At that time, I was busy helping other students write papers for a fee, and I also thought Animagus transformation was a useless skill." Lockhart explained softly: "Dumbledore was killed by Severus Si's killing was just a ruse - to help him win the trust of the mysterious man, he was already seriously injured and would not live long."

"This -" McGonagall thought carefully and calmed down: the possibility of Lockhart being a Death Eater was almost zero, but she couldn't accept it if she believed that Snape had not rebelled.

"Hermione and Ginny both know about Severus. You can ask them for confirmation." Lockhart continued, "The two girls can prove that Severus resurrected me."

"Resurrection?" Mag asked in surprise, "Does it mean that the rumors of your death not long ago are true, rather than that you were seriously injured or hidden? Then you must have done what he did during the resurrection process Hands and feet, so they are controlled!”

"Professor McGonagall, you are worthy of being the Head of Gryffindor. I suspect that Harry's always fond of whimsical thinking was taught by you... But I don't want to tell you the details of my resurrection process now. I will wait until I have time." Besides...Severus doesn't control me."

"Otherwise, I have no other way to prove my position. You can choose to believe it now and sit down, or just stand at the door with your wand and listen to our discussion, Minerva." Snape looked unconcerned, "But please Don't run out and yell, the other Death Eaters in the school are the real deal."

"Okay, let's talk." Mag still didn't dare to relax.

"On May 1st, we will attack the Ministry of Magic, you already know this." Lockhart waved his hand, and a chair flew to Professor McGonagall, but she did not sit down. "On the night of April 30th, I asked you to help Harry drive away Severus, capture other Death Eaters, and use them to attract reinforcements from the Ministry of Magic - have you ever thought about why you and I used When the note was sent, did it emphasize that you should drive Severus away, rather than kill or capture him?"

"I thought you were worried that I was no match for him." Mag said, "Could it be——"

"After you drive him away, he will go with me to another place to deal with the mysterious man." Lockhart said, "The reason why I tell you now is mainly because I am worried that other Order of the Phoenix, especially Harry, will see him too much." If you get excited, it would be bad if you accidentally hurt Severus——"

"Tsk-" Snape laughed disdainfully: "Thank you for your concern, Gilderoy. But even if Potter and his godfather join forces to deal with me, I can still escape without losing a hair. .”
