The first few exams are over, and the students can relax for a few days, but here comes the Lockhart thing—

He was sitting in the office that day when Professor McGonagall asked him to come to the school lobby immediately through the fireplace. The Ministry of Magic inspectors arrived and wanted to examine Lockhart to determine whether he had illegally used Veritaserum on Umbridge. .

Lockhart got up a little nervously and walked towards the lobby. It shouldn't be a big trouble, but he still felt uncomfortable for Lockhart to face the interrogation and inspection.

——All the students in the school heard the news and rushed to the entrance of the lobby to watch the censors who came from the Ministry of Magic. When they saw Lockhart approaching, the students neatly made way for him, and watched Lockhart calmly walk towards the Ministry of Magic's censors with admiration like a martyr...

Seeing the visitor, Lockhart instantly relaxed, nothing at all - because it was actually Nymphadora Tonks, he saw Tonks winking at him pretending to be serious a few meters away, and at the same time Harry, Ron, and Hermione smiled at him in relief, too, only poor Pandora stared at Lockhart and Tonks in horror...

"Ms. Tonks, hello."

"Cough, Mr. Lockhart, I have been ordered to come to examine whether you have used Veritaserum in violation of regulations, please cooperate with the investigation!" Tonks pretended to say: "Professor McGonagall, if you don't mind, please let irrelevant people wait. leave."

Mag nodded understandingly, started to drive the students away, and took the other professors out of the lobby together, and everyone disappeared in a while.

Tonks relaxed immediately, patted Lockhart on the back excitedly, and then happily changed into a look that Lockhart liked: "Take me to see your office, I've always wanted to get into black magic. Where's the defense professor's office?"

"No problem...but why would you come? It's too hasty." Lockhart stood up and walked towards his office with Tonks, "You're a new Auror after all, and you were asked to review it. A former Auror, the Ministry of Magic is not afraid of you being sold by me..."

"Hmph, you don't appreciate me coming here. The Minister of Magic asked Scrimgeour to arrange for an Auror who is close to you to examine you... Do you still want Gardwin or Doris to come?" Tonks was a little dissatisfied, " If it's that scheming **** of Louise Mountbatten, just wait for Headmaster Dumbledore to come to the Ministry of Magic to get you out!"

"Who is that, the new Auror?" Lockhart asked curiously, "I don't know, so you can say that..."

"She just got the Auror certificate last year. Speaking of which, she is still your junior." Tonks seemed to dislike this colleague very much, "but don't expect him to be open to you as a senior..."

Lockhart shrugged, not wanting to continue discussing someone he didn't know. He felt warm in his heart now, wondering if the Minister of Magic regarded him as his own, or if Dumbledore was putting pressure on him. Anyway, even though he worked for the Order of the Phoenix, which the Minister of Magic disliked, the Minister of Magic was going to protect him - well, I guess the Minister of Magic didn't even know Lockhart was a member of the Order of the Phoenix.

"So I sent you here? Scrimgeour probably didn't know you were the Order of the Phoenix."

"Of course he doesn't know, even my parents don't know, why would he know about it, but he knew that you and I were acquainted when you were helping Ollivander kill the dragon, so he sent me here."

"Okay," Lockhart led Tonks into his office, "what to drink, coffee, boiling water, pumpkin juice, sugar or aphrodisiac, you can choose at will."

"You're always so rude..." Tonks glared at him helplessly, "Coffee."

"Well, please, so how is Miss Tonks going to censor me?" Lockhart handed Tonks a cup of coffee with a smile, and then asked easily.

"Let's talk about it casually, for example - did you give Hermione an aphrodisiac? I just looked at her in the lobby and it was just you in my eyes..."

"Is it so obvious? And shouldn't we be talking about Veritaserum!" Lockhart said angrily. "Actually, I suspect that Hermione wants to use an aphrodisiac on me, but it's just more strictly controlled."

"Cut, don't be stinky! Hermione is a serious girl!" Tonks said disdainfully.

Lockhart shrugged helplessly. He also thought that Hermione was a serious girl, but no one could be serious in the face of feelings. "Stop talking about this, okay? How are you and Lupin? I got him a job. He should be in better spirits now."

"Yes, thank you for that, Gilderoy!" Tonks said happily, "Remus looks much more energetic now, I just went to see him in Hogsmeade, and he seems more and more confident. , is no longer as lifeless as he used to be. I can't see that he still has the talent for business, that store looks good!"

"It's nothing, they're all friends!" Lockhart was also happy that he helped two comrades in arms, "Is there nothing at the Department of Mysteries lately?"

"No, I often go there for night duty, and I haven't had any abnormal movements recently. It's frighteningly calm." Tonks replied with some unease. The calmer he was, the more people felt that the person on duty was in danger.

"Remember, if you hear any noise, send a signal immediately, don't check!"

"Moody has said this to us a few times!" Tonks protested, feeling a little thirsty and took a sip of his coffee, "If ordinary people came, they wouldn't be able to take the prophecy ball, if the mysterious man Come in person - even if we die, the spell will automatically sound the alarm..."

This sentence suddenly made the atmosphere a little cold, and the thought of losing a comrade-in-arms at any time made the mood of the two suddenly worse.

"Oh, forget it, do you want to go to school..." Lockhart suggested.

"Come on, I'm the censor, what's the point of walking around the campus with you, and I've been here for seven years, isn't that enough!" Tonks rolled his eyes, "Almost, I'll write a censorship report and leave Come on, help me write it together!"

So, the complicit and embarrassed censor and the censored object moved chairs together, and negotiatedly completed a censorship report that they thought was smooth. Anyway, the Minister of Magic and the director of the Auror Department were prepared for Paulo Hart, no one has any objection to how the review report is made up - Lockhart is thankful that there is no strong backstage to support and fight for Umbridge, she has always been a loner.

"Umbridge took Veritaserum by mistake? You can't believe such a lie." Tonks widened his eyes.

"I can get Professor Snape to testify for me, and he'll prove that Umbridge took the Veritaserum from him." Lockhart shrugged, "I'll hide all the Veritaserum around me in Umbridge. Go to Mulridge's office and have someone search if necessary."

"Okay, that's about it, anyway, Scrimgeour said you can just write whatever you want." Tonks picked up the review report, took a breath, and folded it up and put it in his bag.

Lockhart leaned back in his chair and smiled happily. It felt like a difficult exam. As a result, the professor stated before the exam that it was an open-book exam, and there was no invigilator. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com He was all relaxed.

"Okay, it's time for me to go, if I stay with you, I'm afraid your little girlfriend will be jealous," she put away the review report and said jokingly, "I can't afford to offend your girlfriend, and I won't even get a job. lost!"

"How is it possible, Pandora is a good girl... she doesn't have such a bad heart," Lockhart explained with a smile, "Then I won't give it away, be careful on the road."

"Be careful! I'll use the fireplace in the principal's room to go straight back..." Tonks said, "By the way, I almost forgot one thing!"

Tonks took out an envelope from his arms and handed it to Lockhart. Lockhart took it curiously. It was an official letter from the Ministry of Magic. "What, why didn't the owl send it over?"

Tonks shrugged. "It's Scrimgeour's Auror recall order, for all ex-Aurors and job-hopping guys like you. I don't think you'll give up the professorship, it's obvious you like being a teacher. The feeling, isn't it. So I brought it directly to you."

"Oh, well, you guessed it right, I don't want to go back to being an Auror, that's too dangerous..."

"Hmph, coward! I'm leaving..." Tonks mocked Lockhart, turned and left the office.

Not long after Tonks left, he was worried that Lockhart's students had filled the office, which moved Lockhart a little—unconsciously, he was already well-loved by the students, which strengthened his commitment to protecting the school. determination and courage.

Lockhart had to let Professor McGonagall announce to the whole school that he was all right, so that the office was left empty, but from time to time students still came to see him to inquire about the process and results of the "review". This annoyed him so much that he had to hide in his dormitory with Pandora to "exchange feelings"...
