"We're going to reconnect with some of our acquaintances working at the Ministry of Magic when the above is done - there aren't many Death Eaters who can manage the wizarding world well, so we can guess," Scrimgeour, a little thirsty, picked up the tin box for a drink He took a sip of hot soup: "We can guess that the Death Eaters will not replace all the staff of the Ministry of Magic, they just need to replace the senior officials of the Ministry of Magic with their own people, and then use the original team to promote their pure Blood first, Muggles should be enslaved, that sort of theory."

"Rufus means, like the Death Eaters overthrew our Ministry of Magic, put our people inside the Ministry of Magic - the only difference is that the people who are helping us now are the Ministry's moles..." Moody Gang Scrimgeour explained.

"Yes, that's what I meant. At the same time, we must protect the 'savior'. Although I don't believe in prophecy, I know that it is indeed a serious prophecy. With its help, we will succeed. Chances are higher."

"But, in your plan, the Aurors here don't seem to have a mission?" Hermione found a key question.

"Miss Granger is very quick!" Scrimgeour gave Hermione a smile. Smart people liked it. "Yes, the Aurors here, after destroying the Horcruxes and successfully exposing the Death Eaters' conspiracy to the wizarding world, are going to break into pieces and hide - until our own people at the Ministry think we can Recapture the Ministry of Magic; or - our Mister Savior has grown to the point of being able to fight You-Know-Who, as prophesied. Of course, instead of letting you hide and wait for notification, we will split into groups of people and try to find the remaining Horcruxes of You-Know-Who , If you find or find a clue, notify him through the note sent to you by Alastor, and then find a way together."

"Yes, now that we have destroyed the crown, there is one last golden cup." Moody took out his wand, and under the control of his rough and scarred fingers, the wand dexterously drew a line. The pattern of the gold cup was outlined in the air, "Hufflepuff's gold cup, as long as you find this thing again, destroy it, and then find a way to kill the mysterious man's pet snake - he becomes slayable."

"At that time, I will also gather everyone again to organize an assassination operation against the mysterious man... As long as he is killed, it will not be difficult to retake the Ministry of Magic, but it will change from a problem of success to just a matter of time. ."

"Why don't you just find a way to assassinate the mysterious man, his resurrection always takes time, and I don't believe he can be resurrected before we retake the Ministry of Magic." Dao Lishi asked suspiciously, "He didn't use his resurrection last time. ten years?"

"It didn't take more than ten years, but it took more than ten years to get the chance to be resurrected." Lockhart shook his head, "After this lesson, he must have also arranged a plan for resurrection."

"Gidro, there's something I don't understand." Dao Li nodded and accepted Lockhart's explanation, but the conversation turned the topic to him: "Why do you hide your strength? The strength displayed during the fire spell, if you help Dumbledore when he is fighting with You-Know-Who, maybe we have taken back the Ministry of Magic!"

Everyone looked at Lockhart. Many people had the same question, but they didn't raise it. Even Harry looked at Lockhart suspiciously. He once suspected that Lockhart and Snape were both death-eating. The spy of the gangster, although Dumbledore has explained it to him clearly, but now that Snape has defected, who knows if Lockhart is another spy!

"..." Lockhart was caught in a predicament. On the one hand, the matter of the Elder Wand is really inappropriate to say, but at this critical moment, if you cannot explain your position clearly, I am afraid that you will be suspicious and difficult in future actions. Heavy.

"Guidero, are you hiding your strength?" Although Hermione didn't doubt Lockhart's position, she also asked curiously, "Why?"

"Gidro, please explain quickly." Kingsley didn't think much, "Just solve everyone's doubts."

"Uh..." Lockhart thought hard and organized the language, "I don't hide my strengths - but there are some things - I can't let you know..."

"What can't we know!" Moody asked dissatisfied. "Dumbledore's last words? Or are you really on the side of the Death Eaters!?"

"By the way, Gilderoy, what did the headmaster say when he called you and Snape into the office?" Black didn't doubt him at all, but then he remembered something else. "How did it happen, how could the Headmaster be killed by Snape so easily?"

"Come on, Gilderoy." Anna kindly advised, "You can't get through this, we will help you keep any secrets."

"The headmaster said at that time...he was seriously injured and needed to take care of himself - um, he asked Snape to give him some healing medicine, but when Snape saw Dumbledore's weak appearance, he immediately started killing people... As for my hidden strength - I'm pretty sure you guys will keep it a secret for me, but there's something called Veritaserum..." Lockhart shook his head helplessly, "Once you all know, and someone vomited by the mysterious man The real agent leaked this secret, and there would be serious consequences."

...Most people believed that Lockhart was not a Death Eater, but trust could not relieve their doubts, and this vague statement made things even more suspicious.

"I already said Snape wasn't a good guy!" Harry said aloud, anger burning in his eyes: "He must be playing with whichever side has the upper hand, and when he sees the headmaster is injured, he doesn't lie— - The mysterious man's opponent, just... I will definitely kill him!"

A bunch of people were thinking about different things, but they all looked at Lockhart with frowns, unease and suspicion were brewing in silence, but the secret of the Elder Wand was definitely not suitable for disclosure, and we had to find a way...

"Well, pick the one with the strongest strength, who everyone can trust, and who is least likely to be caught by the Death Eaters," Hermione sensed something was wrong, and quickly came up with an idea. "Tell him the secret quietly, and then let him decide whether your statement can solve everyone's doubts... At the same time, this person can't tell the secret."

"That's a good idea, I recommend Rufus!" Joe was the first to agree.

One after another, the Aurors said the idea was okay, and Scrimgeour was brought in to serve as the surety.

——

"Okay, but before that, I want you to make an oath." Scrimgeour held out his hand, and Lockhart grabbed his hand helplessly. "It's not that I don't trust you, Gilderoy, it's that I love you - Alastor, get your spells ready."

Moody nodded and took out his wand.

"Can you guarantee that every word you will explain to me is true."

"I promise," said Lockhart decisively.

A thin, red-hot tongue of flame spewed from Moody's wand and wrapped around the hands they held together.

"Can you guarantee that in this war, you will always stand opposite the Death Eaters and will never betray us?"

"I promise." Lockhart didn't have any thoughts in this regard, and he agreed.

Another flame.

"Okay, now explain to me why you're hiding your power." Scrimgeour nodded in satisfaction, releasing Lockhart's hand.

Lockhart organized the language and put his mouth into Scrimgeour's ear: "Dumbledore was in the office and gave me a magic item, which can improve the strength of the bearer~www. lightnovelpub.net~ During the battle at the Ministry of Magic, that thing was in Dumbledore's hands... Exactly what it was, can't say."

"Well...it's vague, but I think he's reliable." Scrimgeour gave Lockhart a strange look, nodded, and explained to everyone. "Guidero did not maliciously hide his strength."

"Since you all made Gilderoy swear..." The atmosphere was a little more relaxed, but Hermione began to fight for her future husband, "I think everyone in the room swears that they will never betray each other, we can't bear another Sri Lanka. Nep!"

In the night, under the bonfire, a group of people looked at each other...

"No need." Moody shook his head gently, "Aurors have a special way of guaranteeing loyalty, similar to the Order of the Phoenix...if you become an Auror too, Granger, every Auror is a Loyal and reliable."

"I think Miss Granger is right." Anna was the first to support Hermione, "The loyalty test was done when we entered the Auror Division, and the object of allegiance was the Ministry of Magic... As time passed, People change - even the Ministry of Magic has changed!"
