Harry Potter’s Defense Professor

"Vivian, I remember you were a kind girl," Lockhart suspected that she was controlled by the Imperius Curse, but after an examination, the results showed that she was very conscious. "And why would you, a Ravenclaw, join the Death Eaters?"

"What's your logic? I'm kind, so I can't join the Death Eaters? I decided to support Mr. Voldemort's cause after careful consideration! Everything he did was for the benefit of the entire wizarding world. You are just stubborn old-schoolers!" The witch was Lockhart's crazy killing was so frightening that he trembled all over, but did not beg for mercy, "And you are just a more powerful old guard!"

"What cause do you support him for?" Lockhart was amused. Was he brainwashed? "Destroy the Muggles?"

"Mr. Voldemort wants to purify the wizarding world! Sooner or later, you will see that what Mr. Voldemort has done can make the wizarding world develop longer, and he can build a clean and orderly world. Then, share the secret of eternal life with everyone. "

"Hey, is the world full of pure-blood wizards clean? Kill everyone who opposes it, and then claim that this is an orderly world? The most incredible thing is that you still believe that that person can live forever?" Lockhart said disdainfully , "Let me tell you, we, the Order of the Phoenix, are pulling that man away from his dream of eternal life, and now we are only one step away!"

"You villains!" Vivian yelled angrily, "You must be jealous because you won't get eternal life, and you won't let others live a good life. You are jealous!"

"How do you know that person can really live forever? And do you know how evil his method of trying to achieve immortality is, requiring murder!" Lockhart explained helplessly, "Split his soul to get multiple chances to live! "

"Lie! Dumbledore told you that Voldemort was evil, and you believed it without hesitation, without any doubt that he might also lie to you. You said that others are evil, but look at what you are doing. You killed today Killed more than a dozen people, not only the Death Eaters, but also their wives and children?"

"But when the Death Eaters were in power, they killed more people." Lockhart said calmly, "And they were all innocent people who had no intention of resisting. I was enforcing the law. I executed these evil murderers. .”

"Enforcement?" Vivian sneered: "When did the Wizarding Law allow the execution of wizards on the spot?"

"They violently resisted arrest." Lockhart said without changing his face. As long as he insisted on this, no one could do anything to him. "And it's just a bunch of evil wizards. If I kill them, I will really purify the wizarding world."

"You are self-righteous. Are you the one who has the final say on whether it is evil or not?" the witch retorted disdainfully, "Oh, by the way, you are now the Minister of Magic and the leader of the winning side. You really have the final say."

"If killing Muggles and persecuting Muggle wizards is not evil, then what exactly is evil?"

"It's not like that. What we do is to make smaller sacrifices to maintain the prosperity and stability of the entire wizarding world! The death of those people is necessary." The female Death Eater was still arguing.

"Why do I feel that what I am doing now is to maintain the prosperity and stability of the entire wizarding world with smaller killings?" Lockhart said disapprovingly, realizing that he could not convince this silly woman, and gave up the argument. "You need brainwashing, honey."

"You can't kill anymore. All Death Eaters have received the message and have left their homes." Vivian's wand had been handed over long ago, and she fell to the ground. But he held his head high and watched Lockhart unyieldingly as he walked towards her step by step, like a martyr who died generously.

Lockhart only found it funny. What happened to a girl who was quite normal during school. What happened after graduation. To become such a top Death Eater?

He knocked Vivian unconscious with a light wave of his staff, grabbed her and sucked her blood, and then took her back to the Ministry of Magic. When the war is over, she will probably figure it out, so just keep it locked up for now.

——

All the Death Eater families around London have been "searched" by Lockhart, and what Vivian said should be true. His actions have been known to all Death Eaters,

The remaining Death Eaters may have left their homes now.

The most perfect solution would of course be to send sixteen groups of people to search each of the sixteen Death Eater families protected by the Loyalty Curse, but this idea was currently unrealistic. Since no Horcrux was found in the raid, there was no doubt that even if it had been in a Death Eater's house before, it was now being protected.

We can only use a stupid method: kill all the Death Eaters that Voldemort trusts and know the resurrection magic. Little Barty is dead, but Peter and others are still at large... We must kill all these Death Eaters to ensure that they are defeated or After killing Voldemort, no one will ever resurrect him...

——

The idea is very clear, but until the Ministry of Magic's energy supply system is repaired and the Auror and Striker teams are expanded, the Order of the Phoenix and the Ministry of Magic can only take a defensive stance and cannot take the initiative.

As for Voldemort, he didn't know whether he knew that Lockhart had found powerful helpers or was brewing some new conspiracy, but he never showed up.

During this boring time, new wizarding laws were introduced. "New Wizarding Law 98 Edition" has made a large number of modifications and changes on the framework of the previous Wizarding Law. Among them, the changes related to Lockhart are as follows:

The Ministry of Magic has nominally become part of the British government. Every wizard must register his or her identity with the Ministry of Magic and the Muggle world. Law-abiding wizards will receive a monthly salary of one hundred dollars on the basis of enjoying all the benefits of British Muggle citizens. Galleons reward. Lockhart's first idea was 10,000 galleons per year, but this figure was obviously a bit outrageous. The Muggle representatives could not accept it, so they changed it to a basic living allowance plus the normal welfare of British Muggle citizens. Let wizards live well even if they do nothing.

The new wizarding law stipulates in writing that wizards and Muggles are equal, marriages between the parties are protected, and blatant discrimination against Muggles or Muggle-born wizards will be condemned and even punished.

The Ministry of Magic is determined to fundamentally control the phenomenon of discrimination against Muggles, but there is a very jarring exception in the code: two or more women can marry the same person, that is, polygamy is legal. Although it is not specified that either the man or the woman must be a wizard, polygamy is illegal in the Muggle world. In other words, this regulation actually means that wizards can have polygamy...

Such an obviously unreasonable law has of course aroused opposition from many conservative Wizengamot members, but the new members of the Order of the Phoenix and Aurors all know that this is actually a benefit provided by Lockhart. Most, plus the Muggle and Centaur representatives, had privately promised Lockhart to support the law. But these people plus Lockhart himself were still less than two-thirds of the stipulated number.

Not only does this rule have nothing to do with most people, it also has no serious conflicts of principle or interest with almost all the opponents (all of whom are old guys). Lockhart used coercion and inducement while promising that this rule would be abolished in a few years. After several regulations, this alternative regulation barely survived.

——

In addition to polygamy, there is also a Death Eater law that has been retained: all young wizards of school age, after receiving the admission notice to Hogwarts, whether to go to school is no longer voluntary, but must register, and the tuition fee has become Ministry of Magic funding instead of the original self-funding. Lockhart believes that standardized education will greatly reduce the number of illiterate and wandering wizards and help reduce the crime rate of wizards.

The education of young wizards before the age of eleven is no longer handled by their parents. They can choose to go to elementary school with Muggles like Hermione, or they can study in a wizard elementary school specially established by the Ministry of Magic. No one will advance their magic education. Learning magic can only start at Hogwarts after the wizard reaches the age of eleven and gets his first wand.

——

Half of the Forbidden Forest next to Hogwarts became centaur territory. This was what Lockhart had promised before and passed successfully. Of course, the centaurs' territory does not mean that wizards are not allowed to enter, but that wizards cannot hunt, camp, or carry out destructive activities such as cutting down in it. Centaurs are legally equal to wizards - that is, attacking or killing centaurs is as much a crime as doing so to wizards or Muggles.

The new Wizarding Law has also become more stringent in terms of punishment for criminal wizards, and even expanded the categories for which the death penalty can be imposed. Lockhart believes that whether to implement specific cases can be discussed in detail, but the law must at least be a sufficient deterrent.

The above are all the laws that Lockhart was directly involved in formulating and revising. I will not mention many other less dramatic changes.

There is also a small new rule worth mentioning: house elves are no longer the private property of wizards, and wizards must pay wages for their services. Contrary to expectations, this rule proposed by Lockhart purely to please Hermione was passed almost unanimously without any discussion at all. He thought about it and understood the reason - among the more than fifty wizards and non-wizards who participated in the legislation, except for himself, few of them had house elves in their homes...

Pandora has been hiding in her sister's house in France for more than half a year, trying to get information about the British wizarding civil war through all channels, but found only bad news. Countless times, she couldn't help but miss her and wanted to go back to England, but her reason told her that if she went back, she would only be caught by the Death Eaters, which would only cause Lockhart trouble.

Now that she finally heard that Lockhart had led the Order of the Phoenix and the Aurors to retake the Ministry of Magic, she couldn't bear it anymore and anxiously asked her sister to get her a plane ticket - she couldn't buy it herself. Lockhart naturally also received the news. If you want to go back, just go back, keep it confidential, and then fly directly to London Heathrow Airport and pick him up in person. What can go wrong?
