Lockhart is reading a letter from Alastor Moody, which has marked the area where dementors may gather according to statistics, and has now entered the manual search stage. This task is quite dangerous, and the participants are reliable And well-trained Aurors. Lockhart looked at it for a while, put it away, picked up a newspaper, and read the missing persons and other news.

The Ministry of Magic arrested several real Death Eaters two days ago. Although they were all minor characters, they also injured an Auror. The reason was that the Auror refused to use powerful spells and death spells on the opponent. Lockhart couldn't help laughing and looked at the name - Louise Mountbatten, a very familiar name, isn't this the female Auror who has a particularly bad relationship with Tonks.

There is news about Chinese wizards, the Ministry of Magic has officially established diplomatic relations with Chinese wizards, and there are already Chinese wizards stationed in the headquarters of the Ministry of Magic...

Someone knocked on the door, and Lockhart let him in. It was a student: "Professor Lockhart, Professor McGonagall asked you to go to her office."

"Okay thank you."

Lockhart stood up lazily and left his office. It's only early November, and it's already snowing outside. Dementors have a really powerful ability to change the climate. Braving the cold wind, Lockhart came to the office of the Transfiguration professor.

"Guidero." There were a lot of people in the room, and Professor McGonagall motioned to Lockhart to look at an item on her desk. Lockhart looked strangely at Harry's Salvation Trio, and Snape, who had an indifferent face, walked over to Professor McGonagall's desk.

"A cursed necklace, where did it come from?" Lockhart came to a conclusion after observing the things on the table.

"Our savior, Potter, thinks it was brought in by Draco Malfoy from outside the school," Snape said coldly.

"Katie was going to give this to Headmaster Dumbledore, but he went out," McGonagall explained.

"Where's the principal going?" Lockhart was very surprised. Isn't the hiding place for the Horcrux already secured, why is he still running outside.

"He is the chief wizard of Wizengamore, and he is going to receive Chinese wizards and sign the law..." Professor McGonagall told Lockhart, then turned to look at Harry: "Harry, you are accusing Germany of this. Laco Malfoy, any evidence?"

"No," said Harry, "but I just know!" Harry's words immediately made Hermione and Ron frown.

"You just... know." Snape snorted, turning to look at Harry. "Your talent is incredible, Potter. No mortal would ever dream of having your talent... how great." ...you 'savior'."

"You three, go back to the dormitory." Before Snape taunted Harry further, Lockhart interrupted and ordered. After Professor McGonagall also made the same suggestion, the three of Harry obediently left McGonagall's office.

"There is no doubt that this was a murder against Mr. Principal." McGonagall glanced at the necklace on the table.

"But this can't be successful..." Lockhart was a little furious. After talking with Draco a lot, he still went his own way and carried out his own plan, "Students will be checked before entering the school, Men and women alike."

"Indeed, it was a foolish and pointless attempt..." said Snape sullenly, who knew as much as Lockhart what it was, "especially when Mr. Headmaster knew that someone was going to work against him. Down."

"The principal knows?" McGonagall asked strangely, "Does he know who it is?"

"Actually he knows everything, he's always so amazing, isn't he." Snape said slightly sarcastically, and then changed his tone: "Professor McGonagall, you don't need to worry about this, just be optimistic about the students. already."

"That's right, Severus and I will take care of this." Lockhart nodded in agreement, waving the necklace into the box, "Ok this thing, Professor McGonagall."

Mag looked at the two men suspiciously and decided to trust them. She nodded and put the box with the necklace in the cabinet. "Then, handle this matter well, I don't want to see any more students injured."

The two left McGonagall's office, and Snape and Lockhart walked side by side, eagerly asking Lockhart, "Gidero, did you get unicorn blood without the curse?"

"Everyone said that there is no such thing, where to get it."

"Have you found Hagrid?"

"I found it. In fact, he has already done experiments, and he doesn't have the kind of thing you want." Lockhart shook his head helplessly, "What the **** is the weather, Hagrid asked me to ask how to make it out. Here comes the basilisk."

"The basilisk, it's the product of alchemy, I don't know." Snape also had something he didn't understand, "I'm going to the Forbidden Forest to observe the routine of those unicorns and try to figure it out. "

"You're crazy..." Lockhart glanced at Snape.

"It's for research, you know shit! You lazy bastard." Snape said with disgust, "I'll go to Hagrid and ask where the unicorn lives, you go back."

"Draco, you don't have to argue, I can only tell you that this dangerous method is not allowed!" Lockhart said sternly to Draco Malfoy~lightnovelpub.net~Where are you? It's an assassination! You might as well blow up the whole of Hogwarts, Dumbledore is guaranteed to get hurt! "

"I'm sorry, Professor." Draco lowered his head, "but..."

"Can't you just study hard?"

"But, even if I can't kill the Headmaster, I can't make the Dark Lord think I didn't do anything..." Draco argued.

Well, this reason is not bad. It is indeed necessary to give the Dark Lord the illusion that he is trying to assassinate Dumbledore in order to ensure his own safety. Draco is not stupid.

"Okay, what big news are you going to make next?"

"I'm going to put something in the liquor in the Three Broomsticks and have someone give it to Dumbledore, so that whoever is poisoned can have Snape tell the Dark Lord that I'm working on it."

... Is this kid only able to do these two tricks? Lockhart frowned.

"I ask you, how is your big guy doing?"

"What big guy?" Draco looked panicked.

"You don't need to be nervous, okay? I've known it for a long time. I just want to know how my cultivation is going now?"

Draco hesitantly said, "It's just started repairing, there's not much progress."

"I ask you to report the progress of that thing's repairs at any time, and if it's fixed, I'll hide and let the Dark Lord's men come in to run things, understand," Lockhart said gently, "don't you want me to join the fight in a confused way, too. "

"Okay, Professor, I understand."

"Well, don't conflict with Harry and the others recently. You are someone who wants to do big things. Don't be as knowledgeable as a child. Go back." Lockhart suddenly remembered, "Don't put too much poison!"
