Harry Potter’s Defense Professor

School has started again, the fifth year of the Harry Potter story has begun, and Lockhart is full of confidence in this year. He has changed the plot and knows about the last massacre in Azkaban, plus the constant pursuit of members of the Order of the Phoenix. , At this time, there are no generals available to the Death Eaters, and they know what Voldemort wants, maybe they can do something when Voldemort goes to get the prophecy ball.

The Ministry of Magic acknowledged Voldemort's return and was busy dealing with the Death Eaters, but to Lockhart's surprise, it seemed that Dumbledore could not be reassured, and Fudge sent Umbridge over as an inspector, citing Voldemort's Returning, education needs immediate reforms to keep students safe.

Lockhart sneered in his heart, what a stupid old man. At this time, it was too late to rely on Dumbledore, and he still couldn't believe him.

After attending the usual sorting ceremony, Snape came to him.

"Gidro, the headmaster called you, I'd like to see - what can you come up with." Snape's voice was as calm and gloomy as ever.

"I didn't even say hello to Pandora." Lockhart complained and followed Snape to the principal's office.

"Guidero, you've done a lot of things this summer," Dumbledore's cheerful voice came from behind the desk, "Would you like to--"

"I dare not drink your tea, and I don't want candy, thank you." Lockhart chokes on Dumbledore's words.

"Gidro, you said at the meeting that you could help me destroy the Horcrux? I'm curious." Dumbledore looked at Lockhart across the table.

"I heard about it when I was adventuring. The venom of the Millennium Basilisk can hurt the soul, maybe try it," Lockhart said confidently.

"The venom of the basilisk?" Dumbledore looked strange. "Where can I find the venom of the basilisk?"

"Isn't there one at Hogwarts? Although it is a corpse, the fangs are still there."

Dumbledore showed an embarrassed look: "Guidero, you should remember how I killed that basilisk."

"An amazing flame, I'm very impressed." Lockhart replied happily, he felt that he should be able to block that spell now, this is a great improvement, isn't it, he can block the most Strong sorcerer's spell!

"Uh--then you should be able to understand--an old man like me can't always control the force when casting spells--" Dumbledore explained awkwardly, "I only burned a little bit of the snake's skeleton. Now, it will shatter when you touch it, and forget about the venom."

"What!" Lockhart exclaimed, no fangs? He only knew that Fang and Gryffindor's sword could destroy Horcruxes, and the reason why Gryffindor's sword could destroy Horcruxes was because it was contaminated with venom.

Immediately he had bad thoughts, he stood up and asked, "How did you destroy that Tom's diary?"

"You mean this? How did you guess it was a Horcrux?" Dumbledore took out a wrapped diary from his desk and opened it to Lockhart. "You were knocked unconscious, I got Ginny under control and got the journal, but I didn't find a way to destroy it."

It's over, it's over, it's over, Lockhart's head is dizzy, and he has only one thought at this moment - it's over.

The biggest change in the plot is actually here, he only knows this one way to destroy the Horcrux, doesn't that mean he has no way to destroy the Horcrux?

Instead, Dumbledore comforted him: "Maybe we can try to raise a basilisk."

"Impossible, how can the thousand-year-old basilisk and the small basilisk be the same!"

"Haha, Gilderoy, is this your good idea? I express my sympathy." Snape watched for a long time, and the final result was actually this? He couldn't help but sneer.

Dumbledore also reluctantly put the notebook back in his hand: "Don't despair, in fact, I already have a way to destroy the Horcrux, the problem now is - my power cannot destroy another Horcrux after destroying one.

"

Lockhart was feeling plunged into a bottomless abyss, Dumbledore's words pulled him back, and then he suddenly remembered that he could also destroy Horcruxes with the devil's flame.

"How to destroy?"

"This ring," Dumbledore gestured, "I guess the way to destroy it is to inject magic power into it, then introduce the power of black magic into the body, and then use my magic power to offset it. The Horcrux is useless."

"And you're not far from dying then, Dumbledore," Snape said gloomily beside him.

Dumbledore nodded: "The design of this Horcrux is very delicate, and it can only be like this. This is probably Voldemort's pinnacle work. In fact, Voldemort's way of protecting it has also caused me a lot of small losses. I believe other Horcruxes It can't all be so difficult to deal with."

"And what about that diary? Have you tried Flaming Fire?" Lockhart looked at Dumbledore with hope.

"This diary is probably Voldemort's first Horcrux, so the protection above is very simple, it is a powerful defense and recovery ability."

"I think that as long as the strength of the attack exceeds its defense and recovery capabilities, it can be destroyed. However, I don't have this ability alone. I have tried Lihuo, and it should be able to destroy it if it is strong enough."

"Then let the whole Order of the Phoenix try Fiery together," Lockhart said.

"As far as I know, it's a dangerous and powerful form of black magic," Snape said. "It could even burn the world down if no one stops it."

"Good magic is what destroys Horcruxes, and that's exactly what I meant," Dumbledore stretched out his hand and flicked the diary, "but it's not a long-term solution, this diary was written by Voldemort when he was 16 years old. when he did it, and the other Horcruxes that Voldemort made after he became famous obviously couldn't be so easily destroyed. That's what bothers me, we have to find a way to destroy all the Horcruxes, I don't even know how many Horcruxes Voldemort has. "

"The Dark Lord cannot be killed as long as there is one left."

"Indeed, so we still have to figure out how many Horcruxes Voldemort has." Dumbledore nodded.

"Then when will you gather a few people to destroy that diary?" Lockhart asked.

"Wait when the students go to Hogsmeade for the first time after school starts."

"Okay, then I'll go back and think about other ways to destroy the Horcrux. Have you read all the books in the library?"

"I've read it all. Some very dangerous books in the forbidden book area were managed by the Ministry of Magic before I became the headmaster. Maybe you can go to the Ministry of Magic to have a look."

"I'll find time." Lockhart nodded.

Lockhart and Snape walked out of the principal's office together.

"Severus, aren't you the master of potions, don't you have any idea to destroy the Horcrux?"

"The Dark Lord had potions in mind when he made Horcruxes." Snape glanced at Lockhart, "He asked his potions professor about this, so Horcruxes can't be destroyed with potions at all. ."

"Damn."

"If Slughorn had known that the Dark Lord had asked him about Horcruxes, he would have kept it. It's a pity he didn't know that." Snape showed a rare regretful expression, sighed, and turned around gone.
