Grabbing his shoulders, Lockhart and Scrimgeour stepped into the confines of the Faithful Charm. This former Auror's house is not as maverick as other wizards, it looks like a Muggle house, and there are not many magic-related objects even after walking in.

"You two are the first people to know about this house after the Ministry of Magic changed hands--say, that Lockhart is fake!" The three entered the house and sat down in the hall, "It's very troublesome. , This guy has convinced most of the uninitiated people to believe what the Ministry of Magic said... The newspaper said two days ago that you were under siege, did so many Aurors really die?"

"Almost, the Daily Prophet rarely did not lie about the news this time. We really suffered a fiasco. If Alastor hadn't tried to cover us, the loss would have been even more severe."

"Alastor..." Randu pondered for a while, of course he knew Moody, and his friendship was not shallow. "He was also selected to be a secrecy back then, but he refused. This guy really made the capture of dark wizards his life's business..."

"He's the real fighter against the Dark Arts..." Lockhart tried to be as calm as Scrimgeour. "A warrior...that's how he should die. He died well, we don't have to grieve, but avenge him. ."

Landu nodded, and the three men observed a moment of silence for Mad-Eye, the legendary Auror, because Mrs. Loyer brought some drinks and snacks for everyone, and some things were inconvenient to discuss in front of her.

"Then what can I do for you, Rufus, I can't even keep you in this Faithful Charm."

The Faithful Charm protects wizards and shields them from existence, and it takes energy. The stronger the wizard is, the harder it is for the Crimson Loyalty Charm to block his existence. In principle, the Crimson Loyalty Charm of the Landu family only protects him and his wife. If Lockhart and others hide here for a long time... The Ministry of Magic can get rid of the consumption. The magic power suddenly increased to determine that a powerful wizard was hiding in Randu's house.

"We're not asking you to hide us, we're asking you for information about that thing you're protecting," Scrimgeour asked. "If I want to get close to that thing..."

"What do you want to do, control it. Master the energy in it?" Landu frowned and asked, "I've told you everything I can tell you, but I still have to remind you that the magic of the outside world cannot be poured into the wizard's body. To enhance its power - without a massive set of equipment. You can't harness the power of it."

"No, I'm not trying to control it, that's obviously impossible," Scrimgeour interrupted. "I'm going to destroy it."

"That's impossible. Can you break a Faithful Charm powered by it? No wizard can do it, although theoretically enough wizards can brute-force the Faithful Charm, even Muggles. There are also weapons powerful enough to destroy a Faithful Charm... but in fact, so far in history, no protected person has been harmed by the outside world while the Faithful Charm is still in effect - you know what I mean? ."

"That energy supply system itself has a protection system powered by itself, which is stronger than the Crimson Loyalty Charm and cannot be destroyed?" Lockhart asked tentatively.

"Yes, the energy in there is enormous. It may not be infinite, but if 10,000 You-Know-Who or Dumbledore join forces can't destroy this thing, then to us, what is the difference between it and Invincible?" Randu shook his head with a wry smile, "So don't think about that kind of idea, how many of you are left, if it's just the two of you, then go abroad and run away obediently, why risk your life here to protect that group of aliens. Or Muggles."

"There are no absolutes. All you have to do is tell us how to get in. It's up to us to decide what to do," Scrimgeour insisted. "As for escape. The savior is still alive, not yet."

Landu nodded: "Harry Potter is still alive..." Then he shook his head again, "Unfortunately, Rufus, due to the importance of my career, I have sworn I can't take the initiative to reveal the way behind the door - so I can't help is you."

"No loopholes to drill?"

"No."

…

"It's a pity. Then we'll have to talk about something else?" Scrimgeour sighed. "How are your two boys."

"My daughter went abroad, but she was actually timid. The Ministry of Magic couldn't actually hurt my family. No matter who came to power, it would not embarrass our group." Lando drank a hot drink and closed it comfortably. on the eyes. "My son is living among Muggles now, and he seems to like a Muggle woman... I told him that it's okay to have fun, but to marry a witch..."

"Alas... there are still far more witches than wizards, and your son is still in love with Muggle women..." Scrimgeour seemed to sigh worthless for little Loyer, but he took out his wand and Lockhart attacked his friend with surprised eyes: "Out of body!"

"What's going on?" Lockhart didn't know what was going on. One second ago, he was chatting with his parents as if he was a good friend. Why did Scrimgeour turn his face... The point is, isn't Landu a former Auror? Could it be that he didn't practice Occlumency? No, no, that's not the point, Imperius Curse will be blocked by any form of protective magic. Unless an Auror takes the initiative to remove the Body Protective Curse or has been controlled, how can he be hit?

But Landu was hit, and he was blank for a while before returning to normal.

"What happened?" Mrs. Loyer stuck her head out of the kitchen strangely. She was also a pure-blood witch and felt the magic in the hall just fluctuated.

"It's nothing, I just showed them a self-created magic." Lando explained to his wife.

"What's going on?" Lockhart asked Scrimgeour in a low voice after Mrs. Loyer stopped looking here, "Why did you do it all of a sudden, he's even hit!"

"Just like Harry, you don't like to use your brain, Gilderoy." Scrimgeour said calmly, "Remember the oath you swore when the forty people were together, not to betray us? The key is Two words in the initiative."

"Ah, I see." Lockhart suddenly realized, "Could it be that the unbreakable oath made by Lando also allows surrender! In order not to violate the oath, he lifted Occlumency and accepted your control!"

An Auror who has already regarded vigilance as a natural ability, to completely remove the Occlumency and Body Protection Charm, and be controlled by an ordinary Imperius Curse. What does the other party suggest?

"Yes, Lando, drink this bottle now and tell us how to get into that room!" Scrimgeour seemed to see the doubts in Lockhart's heart, and smiled mysteriously.

"It's very simple, get the key, just open the door and go in..." Rando took a small bottle from Scrimgeour, drank it, and said blankly, "The key is in my attic, I Take you to get it."

With the two of them, he left the hall and came to the attic. This room has been applied with space augmentation, so it can hold a lot of things. All kinds of anti-black magic devices are piled up in a disorderly manner. Where is the key?

"Don't touch anything... there are alarms and damage spells, most of which are still useful."

This sentence scared Lockhart so much that he didn't dare to move immediately. He had seen many things in Moody's house that were exactly the same, and knew their purpose and power.

Lando deftly and deftly dodged everything and stepped into the clutter, leaving Lockhart and Scrimgeour waiting outside.

"If he hadn't been actively controlled, but had been forced to get the keys, this house would be his last chance to turn around," Scrimgeour said thoughtfully.

"Well, he can pretend to get the key, and then walk into this pile of things, under the protection of this pile of things, even the mysterious man can't kill him in a short time." Lockhart nodded, "There is a big inside. Part of it is designed to hurt wizards and defend against magic."

After a while, Lando came out with a black key and handed it to Scrimgeour.
