After lying in bed for three days, Lockhart got out of bed. It felt so good to be a patient, but he had more things to do.

He was sitting at the table in the tent, where Scrimgeour's group had also protected Lockhart for three days, and there were now nine people at the table.

"As soon as you can get out of bed, we'll split up after this meal." Scrimgeour said, "Minister Fudge has issued some tough Muggle policies under his control in the past two days. The law that made intermarriage with Muggles illegal. He has now done everything that the two ministers, Damocles Rolle and Perseus Parkinson, have tried, and has undoubtedly attracted international wizards. The federation's strong condemnation, the next step is to really start to boycott the Secrecy Act, and his use value is gone."

"Will the Death Eaters kill him?" said Hermione worriedly.

"That's not the case. The two ministers I just mentioned were ousted by public opinion because of their own policies. Fudge is expected to be "fucked" out of office, and then replaced by Death Eaters as ministers. Scrimgeour said, "This just drains his usefulness, and the next minister can continue to resist secrecy laws - if wizards in other countries decide to intervene, let him step down, if they dare not intervene , then continue..."

"It's not clever, but it's very practical," Black said. "But once the Secrecy Act is completely repealed, other countries will intervene even if they pretend to be."

"If it did before, but in recent years with the improvement of Muggle living conditions... you know, wizards in many European countries have become jealous, and anti-Muggle sentiment has begun to rise again." Scrimgeour said: "Even if there is a real If wizards from other countries intervene, if no one can defeat the mysterious man, it will be in vain, but will only fuel his arrogance."

"Maybe someone can be sent abroad to ask for assistance or something..." Lockhart said, "By the way, this Horcrux can be destroyed abroad, and the mysterious man can never Apparate abroad."

"Good idea, but now the airport, port and the Channel Tunnel have been strictly controlled, and it is difficult to get out. But this idea is okay. If we collect two Horcruxes, we will arrange a breakout and go abroad. Go to the ends of the earth and destroy the Horcrux."

"Ok."

"Don't think about it for now, don't risk dealing with the crown alone."

"If you need to go abroad at that time, the United States is a good place." Abbott said, "The infrastructure of the US Ministry of Magic is very imperfect, and even the Floo network is not fully covered, and if the existence of wizards is exposed, it will cause extreme damage. There is great social instability, and both the Muggle government and the Ministry of Magic in the United States firmly support the International Wizarding Secrecy Act."

"Let's talk later. First, unite the forces in the country that still want to resist the Death Eaters. Albert, which group are you with?" Scrimgeour asked him kindly.

"My group is with Hermione. There are Savior and Mr. Lockhart." Albert said, his words caused Lockhart to give him an unexpected look, and after a few days of mixing, he was called Hermione's Christian name. Ah, quite familiar.

"Okay, then let's decide, be careful, look after Gilderoy for me." Scrimgeour said, glancing at Lockhart.

After the meal, everyone other than Lockhart helped to tear down the tent. Ready to break up.

"Take care, we'll Apparate when we go far." Kingsley is always very emotional, and his rich voice can bring a sense of security to many people.

"Take care of yourself."

A group of people broke up here and went in different directions. As the wounded, Lockhart was the most relaxed. Except for his two wands, everything was taken by Harry and Blake.

"Where are you going now, Harry, tell me." Lockhart and the others walked silently for a while, feeling that they could Apparate.

"I'd like to go back to Godric's Hollow. See where my parents died, and visit the wizards who lived there." Harry said, "I think V-Y-You-Know may also be hiding the Horcruxes there. There, after all, it was a place that meant so much to him, and it was here that he faced death for the first time."

"Will he set an ambush there?" said Hermione uneasily. "Everyone can think that you are likely to go back and have a look."

"I think he will be afraid there. He doesn't dare to go there by himself." Albert expressed his thoughts, "but it is not ruled out that there will be Death Eaters there."

"The Horcrux won't be there, let's change it," Lockhart said with certainty.

"How do you know the Horcrux isn't there, Dumbledore hasn't searched that place!" Harry said excitedly, "Maybe it's because everyone thinks it can't be in this place, and Godric's Hollow has become A blind spot for thinking. He is hiding there!"

"Okay okay, why are you so excited, is the Horcrux by your side?" Lockhart said, "Remember to think over your words when you are holding the Horcrux."

"Oh--"

"But I think what he said makes sense. You should look for all possible places," Albert said. "It's better than blindly looking, and isn't there a lot of wizards living in Godric's Hollow, among them? Does anyone have any way to deal with the Horcrux?"

"Okay, it makes sense, then let's go and have a look." Lockhart thought about it for a while, and felt it made sense. He shouldn't be limited by the original plot, and this time he could visit Bathilda Bagshot in the past. Madam, at her age no less than Dumbledore's, she might have some idea of ​​what to do with Horcruxes.

"Then, let's go." Lockhatra stopped Hermione's hand, Hermione grabbed the others, and the five of them started Apparation.

They Apparated to a few miles from Godric's Hollow, and Hermione insisted on making sure that she was wearing the best possible disguise before heading there, but the potion had already been used when Lockhart and Blake went shopping in Diagon Alley recently. It's almost done, so after deciding to put Harry in the Invisibility Cloak and Black into a black dog, Lockhart and Hermione put on masks, and only Albert does not need to disguise.

In addition, they also set up tents at the Apparition place, and only entered the small village after dinner at dusk. The village of Godric's Hollow in southwest England is one of the most famous semi-magical settlements in the world, with many magical families living here for generations, sometimes graciously helping nearby Muggles. This is the birthplace of Godric Gryffindor, where the magical craftsman Bram Wright forged the first Golden Snitch. Here, the first dark wizard in history was killed for the first time by the prophesied savior...

In two weeks it will be Christmas, and snowflakes are in the sky. Some houses stand on both sides of narrow alleys, and only the light from the windows illuminates the path ahead. Not far ahead, golden streetlights indicated the center of the village.

"It's really dark." Hermione felt that she had miscalculated. If someone checked carefully, Lockhart and Hermione, who were wearing masks, couldn't hide it. If they didn't check carefully, they couldn't see anything at all.

Blake couldn't help but change into a human form.

"We should learn to transform into Animagus when we have time, but it's too late now. Not only is it dangerous, but it also takes time. Even only a quarter of Aurors can learn it," Lockhart said.

"For safety's sake, Harry should wear the Invisibility Cloak," said Albert. "His features are too obvious."

The icy air pierced their cheeks like needles, and they passed more houses along the way: it was a peaceful and peaceful little village, and it was completely invisible to Voldemort who swept the British Ministry of Magic more than ten years ago. The individual turned left along the alley, and the center of the village, a small square, appeared before them.

There is a war memorial-like building in the center of the square. There are several shops, a post office, a bar, and a chapel along the square. The painted glass shines like jewels on the opposite side of the square.

There were not many people in the square, but there were clips of laughter and pop music as the bar door opened, and carols came from the chapel.

"This is a memorial to Harry's parents~lightnovelpub.net~" Blake said. "Behind the chapel is the cemetery. Come on, Harry, you haven't seen your own parents' tombstones. "

Harry shuddered, and it was more of fear than excitement. Hermione dragged Lockhart to the tombstone and looked at it.

"Is this the Harrys, it looks like—" She didn't go on, pointing to the monument, which had Muggle Confusion and Phantom Charms on it, and it changed as they walked by, it was no longer a single piece Instead, the obelisk engraved with names has become a statue of three people: a man with disheveled hair and glasses, a woman with long hair and a beautiful and kind face, and a baby boy sitting in his mother's arms. Snowflakes fell on top of the three of them like fluffy white velvet hats.

Not to mention them, even Harry saw it for the first time.

"There are wizards in the surrounding houses, but I don't know if it is someone sent by the mysterious person to monitor." Lockhart said, "It's better not to look at this monument here, it is easy to attract the attention of possible monitors."
