Hogwarts on the Tip of the Tongue

The third generation... the Dark Lord? he?

The black tea cup in Lockhart's hand slipped quietly, and he looked at Elena blankly.

This eldest lady, did she accidentally memorize the script, what qualifications does he have to be the devil?

"Hey, calm down. It's hard to clean the principal's office—"

Elena waved her wand unpredictably, summoning an updraft that carried the teacup back to the table.

Lockhart wiped the tea accidentally spilled on his hands, stared at Elena with wide eyes, swallowed his saliva and said carefully.

"I thought...I would run for Minister of Magic normally. I think you should also know that Grindelwald's ideas are long gone, and no one will believe that the magical world is ready to accept the eyes of the non-magical world, People would think it's crazy and scary. But if you're campaigning from the standpoint of strengthening secrecy laws and fighting the dark forces—"

"There is no need to continue to emphasize war!" Elena said calmly. "There are not so many dark forces as targets, you know. World integration and anti-discrimination are the big trends."

"The International Confederation of Wizards will not sit by and watch this provocation," Lockhart insisted. "And... the general trend of anti-discrimination?"

He shook his head slowly but firmly, and said solemnly, "In today's magical society, how many people do you think we can support?"

"Not too much," Elena said calmly, "but this is a powerful banner, because it does not have too many flaws in terms of ethics and morality. I believe that many people will not stand up to support it at the first moment, but It will become the torch of the dark times—" She raised her hand and touched the phoenix lightly, "Well—darkness will definitely come, you are not the one who created the dark night, people's hesitation and resistance are mostly because they still There are concerns, but in some disasters quietly coming, 'justice' will become a fire that devours people..."

"Professor Lockhart, didn't you say before that you want people in the non-magical world and the magical world to live in harmony, and there is no discrimination in the magical society?"

Hermione said suddenly, she tapped the magic book with her wand, and a dense record sheet floated out from it.

"This is the estimate that Elena just gave me in the magical world, at least 60% of the people are being treated unfairly..."

Lockhart glanced at the contents of the light curtain, rubbed his temples, and said dispassionately, "Well, that is indeed my ideal, and I am doing it. But now it is another matter, magic Society, magical government, the International Confederation of Wizards...no one wants to see a second Grindelwald rise, it's all too easy to argue against."

"Even if they are theoretically the correct direction of social development? Isn't that what the magic government exists for?"

Lockhart sighed, and after thinking for a few seconds, half squatted down and looked at Hermione solemnly.

"The purpose of the existence of the magic government is to stabilize the social order, Miss Justice." He explained calmly as if in class.

"That's what an outdated, old government is. That's why we're going to overthrow it."

Elena said suddenly, she gently touched Fox's feathers, and a hint of madness flashed in her lake blue eyes.

"Don't you always want to be the center of attention, Mr. Hanged Man? Isn't it good to surpass Grindelwald and become the righteous 'Demon King' in the history books?"

Lockhart blinked, hesitantly said after hesitating.

"But...I was going to...after this mission, um...I planned to have a wedding with Miss Arkhipovna—"

"I know," Elena nodded, her fingers gently rolling her hair, "but you should know that Arkhipovna is the director of the 'Great Arcana' core project."

"More importantly, she's also a former senior researcher at the Landau Institute—"

Elena looked at the gradually silent Lockhart with interest and said softly.

"Your current public opinion is not small, your marriage is bound to cause a lot of news, unless you plan to marry in secret?"

"However, if you successfully complete this task, you will become a pioneer in the reformation of the magical society, a pioneer in equal rights and the integration of the world..."

"Ms. Arkhipovna can't give up her career in order to marry you, and with your current strength and prestige, you can't protect her well for the time being."

Elena paused, spread out her hands, became unusually serious, and continued to speak word by word.

"If Dumbledore was still around, there would have been other candidates - but for now, it's only you who is the best fit."

"Of course, it really doesn't work. We still have options... For example, Mr. Gao Tower will start the war directly, but the price may be too heavy."

"This is not a threat, but a hurdle that the Great Arcana will inevitably face since its existence."

War, or become the new Dark Lord?

A secret wedding, and a career that sacrificed one of the two...

Lockhart didn't answer immediately, but looked at Elena thoughtfully and glanced at Hermione beside him.

"Well, if I run according to this logic," he said suddenly, "what level of support can I get?"

"I looked at Elena's planned budget," Hermione coughed lightly. "The initial investment of resources is zero. After all, we must separate you from other capital."

As if he heard the death sentence, Lockhart turned around and looked at Elena in disbelief: "An enemy of the world?! I'll do it alone?!"

"Yes," Elena jumped from the desk with her hands up, took out a tarot card and handed it to Lockhart, "Of course, don't worry, there are our comrades lurking in the Auror Office and the International Confederation of Wizards~ www.wuxiaspot.com~ No life risk. But you might go to Azkaban, people will always have a vengeful compensatory mentality for persecuted heroes..."

Lockhart doesn't look relaxed at all. From this process, it seems that his original wedding plan is likely to be delayed for a long time.

"Looks like I still don't have much choice, do I? Unless I can get Professor Dumbledore out."

Lockhart's voice was a little helpless, he picked up the cup of black tea again, took a sip and calmed down.

"When does it start? I mean building momentum, campaigning for these..."

"Two hours ago." Her Highness the Witch said happily, and the muscles at the corner of Lockhart's eyes twitched again.

"Okay, Hermione," Elena turned to Hermione and said, "Have you read the initial campaign strategy and schedule for Mr. Hanged Man?"

"...It's almost finished." Hermione looked at Elena in confusion, and saw Elena pulling her to Dumbledore's seat, and found herself next to the escalator.

"Because your 'leader of the Great Arcana' [Pope-05] is temporarily missing, according to the previous rules, you will temporarily assume part of his original work and responsibilities, and I will be on the side to supervise and assist, this time When it comes to the magical society and government elections, you will be in full control of the promotion, and now you can start to explain."

"Huh?" Hermione's eyes widened in disbelief. She thought she was just a guide and a clerk today.

"Let's start, Miss Justice of the Reserves, Mr. Hanged Man."

Elena said calmly, picking up a fried fish rice from Fox's food trough.
